Speaker 7: you know what I mean, Like like.
Speaker 1: You know how basketball is real? Right? So Mike was
Speaker 1: one of them killers? How cold?
Speaker 7: How I feel Kobe became right, you know what I mean,
Speaker 7: I've seen you know, like so Kobe my first three
Speaker 7: years he was playing behind Eddie.
Speaker 1: He'd come in and you know, do what he do.
Speaker 1: I'm already warm.
Speaker 7: I'm grown ass man twenty five six to twenty to
Speaker 7: twenty three, right, you know so. But he had a
Speaker 7: hell of a crossover. He's fast, and he really had
Speaker 7: that killer instinct. Mike was a different animal together to
Speaker 7: me right now, I'm not trying to put nobody against
Speaker 7: nobody close. Kobe is a close thing to come to Mike, period.
Speaker 7: I think right after Mike as far as that wing play,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, That's what I feel. But
Speaker 7: Mike had a different energy to him, and he had levels.
Speaker 7: He could turn up two three four levels any reason.
Speaker 7: Some people turn up a level of two. He turned
Speaker 7: up two three four, right, and it's real.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: He didn't play with the ball, so he not gonna
Speaker 7: cross it between the legs, you know, like the do
Speaker 7: today rock drip. About four or five times he's going,
Speaker 7: he looking right at you, and he handling his business quick, intimidating.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We couldn't even help him
Speaker 1: because there was like two dribble, pull up, one dribble,
Speaker 1: pull up fake Jeff. It was like, and that's in
Speaker 1: back when you have to play one on one d
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It was basic. And then listen,
Speaker 1: if you're at the top of the King, you buy
Speaker 1: yourself and this just think about top of the top
Speaker 1: of the three point line to the free throw line. Bro,
Speaker 1: we can't help you. So so it was like it
Speaker 1: was like it was like it was that kind of
Speaker 1: bag of work where jayawards he just had to take.
Speaker 1: But then we're going to nothing in and you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You think they letting him beat job.
Speaker 1: They not calling no fouls, you know what I'm saying,

Speaker 1: And that was the last time that ever happened. Straight up,
Speaker 1: he shapped the dog ship out of me. In the game,
Speaker 1: my favorite player shot a jump hook on him, and
Speaker 1: I was in all of it, and and I had
Speaker 1: lost it. I lost all all the fans. I had
Speaker 1: to actually put it to this lout shapped the fan
Speaker 1: out because I seen Dee and did the damn state
Speaker 1: like you seen Shaq first time that he never seen
Speaker 1: Shaq first time. First time. Man shot came out like God.
Speaker 1: I kept looking up. Meanwhile, I'm seven foot y'all. I
Speaker 1: was like, god, damn like this shack. And he talked
Speaker 1: real fastness, that country father good, everybody good? Did he
Speaker 1: always give you that the quick anser is good good?
Speaker 1: But Diesels, he's just Diesels good, good people man, you know?
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, where was I wanted to be like Web?
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a better version of Web ticket
Speaker 1: You're three toughest. You was in a some powerful era. Boy,
Speaker 1: oh man. Obviously early on you had the Barkleys and
Speaker 1: the Malones. Later on it will become you know, it's crazy, y'all.
Speaker 1: I had it. I had issues, but I had to
Speaker 1: actually go in themerom and actually really studied for Chris
Speaker 1: bosh Man, Chris Bosh and z Bo the left handed
Speaker 1: face up and ze Bo's physicality. If you wasn't if
Speaker 1: you wasn't meaning z Bo's physicality forty eight minutes, you
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance. Bro. And and the first time
Speaker 1: I play him, he literally beat me up for the
Speaker 1: offensive end. The next time I initiated the defense, I
Speaker 1: initiated the contact, had a better outing. And that's when
Speaker 1: he was in Portland and they fed him forty times
Speaker 1: a game, and it was like a spoon feed. You
Speaker 1: understand that it wasn't just either stat It wasn't where
Speaker 1: you remember when bark used to get in and hold
Speaker 1: it for twenty seconds, so z bom Man. It was tough,
Speaker 1: and it was a cross between Timmy and she Man.
Speaker 1: Timmy and she had length and uh kind of my
Speaker 1: my secret sauce was my gaming ship, being able to
Speaker 1: get you to listen and hear what I'm saying and
Speaker 1: get you to engage with me and then get you
Speaker 1: to totally not think about basketball. You want to fight,
Speaker 1: you want to go in the back. The gaming ship
Speaker 1: was a big part of me. So when I didn't
Speaker 1: get a person that would engage in the gaming ship,
Speaker 1: and now it was just skill on skill man, tim
Speaker 1: Dunky coming back, he may go baseline, fade away, Hi,
Speaker 1: Glass's come back, right hand hook, come back, fake them
Speaker 1: and you go and man, you feel me. But what
Speaker 1: would he say to you? What Timmy say to you?
Speaker 1: Just tap me? Just little ship like that. Just get
Speaker 1: on there. Just only know this, j know that when
Speaker 1: you're a shot blocker. Man, it's the worst day. I
Speaker 1: rather you say something to me. Don't don't tap me,
Speaker 1: nigga like you don't hit me on the ass. No
Speaker 1: wear though, real ship. But that was Timmy, Timmy and
Speaker 1: Phil get met and here give you that ha man.
Speaker 1: That was a tough shot, like man shot the fuck
Speaker 1: had dead God damn talk. She was just draws up
Speaker 1: doc you and just talking ship. She was, oh, no,
Speaker 1: right here, let me, oh I got one. Just he's
Speaker 1: with us. Yeah he had the Gaman ship too, though.
Speaker 1: She to call your move out, Yeah, don't put it down.
Speaker 1: I know you want to go based out the fame
Speaker 1: like this, like ship like this, Bro. When I played
Speaker 1: guys like that Dog, it was like, okay, let me
Speaker 1: go ahead and keep the button. It's a masterclass, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: And now now is this for that?
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, it was. And then too where everybody
Speaker 1: don't know is that who the guys that were not
Speaker 1: naming they were tough too. Every night McGrady I wasna say.
Speaker 1: McGrady was one of mins.
Speaker 2: T Max was one of my said who's who's who's
Speaker 2: your Mac? Mellow and Code and you, I think that's
Speaker 2: leading out, Bron, that's leaving out. That's leaving out, Paul,
Speaker 2: that's leaving out d Wade, that's leaving out.
Speaker 1: We're talking about tough to when you go to the
Speaker 1: back and you're like, give me a second, I need
Speaker 1: ice on my shoulders and ship Lord, let me ask
Speaker 1: you something. Tramp Man, I'm sitting there thinking about ma
Speaker 1: and Mellow played like Zach Randolph. I'm just listen and
Speaker 1: Mellow they get it. He would roll to the uh,
Speaker 1: to the to the post and then it was a
Speaker 1: wife for the rebound. Mellow was probably the most wild
Speaker 1: last nigga on offense too. Though, sure super wild, no
Speaker 1: no package for the three spot. He was wild. Bro.
Speaker 1: He was like Ruben Patterson, but on the offensive end. Bro,
Speaker 1: y'all know Rube. If y'all know Ruben Patterson, he was.
Speaker 1: He was like the new Jerome Kersey. You hear me,
Speaker 1: they did. They called no place for Ruben Patterson. He
Speaker 1: would end up with fifteen eighteen. You hear me, want
Speaker 1: some work at looking, man? I don't want to look, man,
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to U.
Speaker 6: Benching like three fifties and ship like that. Remember them
Speaker 6: Cincinnati motherfuckers.
Speaker 1: Nanny Forces. You remember the killers that was in the league.
Speaker 1: Remember Danny Forston.
Speaker 6: I tried to take off on Danny Forest and he
Speaker 6: caught me in there, back down on the ground in
Speaker 6: the preseason.
Speaker 1: I kind of gently. Danny Forrest was a real killer boy.
Speaker 1: He was man boy. He was six club afterwards, straight up?
Speaker 1: And why are you doing training? Capt your smoking black
Speaker 1: of Miles. I was like Danny the uh I never
Speaker 1: used to be.
Speaker 6: Was this the first time real killer in the league?
Speaker 6: Just catch humans and put him down? Just caught me,
Speaker 6: put me down, raise his hand fault.
Speaker 1: Tell me what it was like? You no making your
Speaker 1: Hollywood that you want get a chance to work with
Speaker 1: man that bambooze. They told me I was gonna have
Speaker 1: like a little cameo in and so you think you
Speaker 1: gonna show up video self play a part, and uh,
Speaker 1: it was that simple. I had the time to be
Speaker 1: able to do it. And at first I was like,
Speaker 1: let me let me hear the movie first. So I
Speaker 1: had to read the southeas brothers and we all had
Speaker 1: to meet big. They were super nick fans that showed
Speaker 1: up motherfuckers like the next Really, y'all ain't got no
Speaker 1: room to talk right now, right. We kind of did
Speaker 1: that for the first five to ten minutes. But then
Speaker 1: they was real dudes. They was real cool. They was
Speaker 1: embedded in the coach. I had seen a couple of
Speaker 1: their projects. I had been a fan. Didn't know that
Speaker 1: that was them. They did the jay Z video that
Speaker 1: I was a huge fan of. I didn't even know.
Speaker 1: I just started to learn like these new intangibles about it,
Speaker 1: you know. And then they started taking me and walking
Speaker 1: me through this whole scenario of the movie, and it
Speaker 1: was just about me being myself. So just the first
Speaker 1: thing I thought was like, man, can I mess up?
Speaker 1: Like playing yourself, like just think about that, and I
Speaker 1: know you fuck that up. And I know being in
Speaker 1: the jury store Famelion right, who has like no I
Speaker 1: can do? You know I can do I can play myself.
Speaker 1: So that became like okay, you can do this, and
Speaker 1: then a little about little they started like piling stuff
Speaker 1: on like I was in another joint. Then I was
Speaker 1: in another joint. Then I had you know, at first
Speaker 1: I had this much to say, and then it was
Speaker 1: like this much to say. That'st thing. You know, I
Speaker 1: got a that's a credit to you that I saw
Speaker 1: he was good at It's a credit to you. He
Speaker 1: was killing I got in there. Yeah, I know, I
Speaker 1: got a little book right here. I gotta go back
Speaker 1: and forth with Adam. It's got to go like this
Speaker 1: I gotta do. I'm like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1: This man? Dope and ship. They was like nah, I
Speaker 1: see how you were saying. And then you've been in
Speaker 1: the jermy store before, like you know, just be yourself.
Speaker 1: So that's why it was so like natural came off natural?
Speaker 1: How was it working with Adam? He's one of my favorites,
Speaker 1: Adam listen man, I got to see Adam in his
Speaker 1: his his greatness, his element. A lot of people don't notice.
Speaker 1: And when you step on the court with Michael Jordan's
Speaker 1: for all us has been here and been there, you
Speaker 1: feel his greatness almost to the point where you like,
Speaker 1: damn it intimidated. When you checking the kicks out start
Speaker 1: see you looking at him? You look and then you
Speaker 1: gotta you know why ain't looking at him? But you
Speaker 1: feel it the arrow. That's how I felt. He was
Speaker 1: so humble, he was so chill, but then again he
Speaker 1: had a when it was an action boom, oh man,
Speaker 1: you just felt it like, oh wow, you caught the
Speaker 1: same mind. You called him looking, and you call it
Speaker 1: looking like nigga, you got lines in this and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, this is not that and you get caught
Speaker 1: up in it. But I was able to experience that
Speaker 1: right and it was. It was unbelievable. Was an unbelievable
Speaker 1: experience watching someone be great and play something and play
Speaker 1: a role and be a totally different person. It's straight.
Speaker 2: Trash talking is an art, I think probably to me,
Speaker 2: I may have missed some guys, but you and GP
Speaker 2: were the best at it. Where'd that come from? I'm
Speaker 2: in time ten, I'm gonna be top five.
Speaker 1: I always say that the trash talking, you gotta be
Speaker 1: able to back it up, right, So the first thing
Speaker 1: about trash talking is I would I would actually consider
Speaker 1: who was talking to trash and then if they have
Speaker 1: the ability to back it up to whether I was
Speaker 1: gonna actually engage with somebody. But then you got there
Speaker 1: and y'all know this. You got the trash bag nigga
Speaker 1: out here talking up nigga. Then the way you shut
Speaker 1: niggas up and you just ask something, I'm just going.
Speaker 1: It seemed like if the trash talking get to a
Speaker 1: point where I got you not talking no more, that's
Speaker 1: the worst thing you can ever do. And trash talking
Speaker 1: you have to continue. I told you to waste to
Speaker 1: go in trash talk matter what. And if you decide
Speaker 1: to continue to trash talking, keep going. You got to
Speaker 1: keep it up. So the minute I not add you
Speaker 1: out and now now you not no, you exhausted, You
Speaker 1: ain't got no more. Man, get this self this Niggaso's right,
Speaker 1: it's overd I got to step on you, and that's
Speaker 1: how it usually was. But once I start seeing the
Speaker 1: trash talk affect people, it was it was different for me.
Speaker 2: From how I used it was there someone that you loved,
Speaker 2: You knew that motherfucker back it up.
Speaker 1: Eighty was talking to you, believe it or not, y'all
Speaker 1: or Tim Duncan, Tim Duncan, sho Timmy, Tim Duncan. People
Speaker 1: would not see him verbally seeing stuff because he wasn't
Speaker 1: talking sentences. Tim Timmy would hit you in phrases, got
Speaker 1: you almost just the worst right here, nice try like
Speaker 1: subtle ship, no gangs to ship, no real hard course ship,
Speaker 1: just to subtlely to just back your ass up and
Speaker 1: put you back in like this over here, like you know.
Speaker 1: And then what really, really, what really really really pissed
Speaker 1: me off was when the trash tark wasn't affecting him.
Speaker 1: So now you spending all this energy trying to rise
Speaker 1: us up, you know, forgot about your own game. You
Speaker 1: forgot about they coming to you that you're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: And then that's when I actually quit talking trash to
Speaker 1: Timmy because he wouldn't respond or wouln't give me the
Speaker 1: reaction I was. I can't really get hype off. This
Speaker 1: thing ain't even giving me nothing even looking now, you know,
Speaker 1: starting you know, doing a little you know, the shoulder
Speaker 1: ship and he will react to that. Yee. You know,
Speaker 1: Timmy got twenty twenty fifteen. So then I started changing that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And then it was natural too.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just you went to it, you know, you
Speaker 1: dogs meet in the middle of and to be what
Speaker 1: it is. So you know, I didn't understand that.
Speaker 3: Sometimes with Tim, I used to come out of the
Speaker 3: game me Pop just screaming and him cursing him, and
Speaker 3: I'm sitting down there.
Speaker 1: And You're letting this motherfucker talk to you like this,
Speaker 1: you Tim Duncan, and he's saying nothing.
Speaker 4: So when Pop come to me, I gotta be like
Speaker 4: the fucking I say, Tim Duncan taking it.
Speaker 1: I gotta take you gotta take it. But it made
Speaker 1: me a better player, It made me coachable, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But at first, soon as Pop point, man, you better
Speaker 4: get the fuck out of my face, you know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I see you going off on Tim, I gotta
Speaker 1: be able to take. I watched Gary Payton controlled Karen
Speaker 1: Payton and Charles Barclay was two of the arguably best
Speaker 1: trash offers I ever experienced. I saw Gary Payton control
Speaker 1: the referees, his coach, my coach, the crowd, the lady
Speaker 1: in the front, the guy who's on the side of
Speaker 1: the Minnesota game, sitting the buck. He was controlling the
Speaker 1: whole game. That's magical. I watched GP back down the
Speaker 1: guard from uh baseline, the baseline, talking the whole time.
Speaker 8: Shut your ass up, throw up, twist, Hey, get his
Speaker 8: ass here here, Hey, come up.
Speaker 1: Hey. You see the hand on the hill calling, if
Speaker 1: you see he just.
Speaker 8: Finally him, I'm like, managing all this talking to me,
Speaker 8: he calling to play.
Speaker 1: He throwing the buck like yo, and still scoring the ball,
Speaker 1: stealing the ball, affected in the in the huddle, he
Speaker 1: in the huddle, he got the thing, he drawing it up.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, GP to me was like masterful. Charles
Speaker 1: Barkley was another level of trash talking because he would
Speaker 1: end up fighting you for trying to fight you. But
Speaker 1: he instilled fearing everybody on the court. Gary Payton actually
Speaker 1: used it to get fouls, to get his teammates files,
Speaker 1: to get guys in and out. Like he was just
Speaker 1: he was just a control free you know. And if
Speaker 1: you went to a part of with Gary, he was
Speaker 1: doing the same thing.
Speaker 8: What a dream set y'all a drinking shots over the hill,
Speaker 8: get them out of feet, man with them.
Speaker 1: Right, This is GP. This is just w GP. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw it, you know, so I guess that would
Speaker 1: kind of be my example of if the yeah GP
Speaker 1: was kind of my example of what I wanted to
Speaker 1: But I give Gary shout the GP man. We was
Speaker 1: in everybody's talking about the twenty anniversary events winning the
Speaker 1: Dunk contest in Oakland. Right, But y'all don't know is
Speaker 1: that Kobe Bryant rest in peace to my dog. He
Speaker 1: took another level of being a defensive standpoint because Gary Payton,
Speaker 1: after practice, after practice, all star practice pulled us to
Speaker 1: the side because Cold dashed him something. They pulled both
Speaker 1: of us to the side, said let me tell y'all something.
Speaker 1: Look when you're playing defense, And then he went through
Speaker 1: a thirty minute joint with both of us on defense
Speaker 1: and keeping us between the land and reaching and how
Speaker 1: to reach and when you reach up and just low
Speaker 1: tricks of the trade. That next time I saw Cold
Speaker 1: after the break he was using came first team that year.
Speaker 1: First time I seen him, I said, he used that ship, GP.
Speaker 1: Saw I caught that ship. But I knew that only
Speaker 1: the three of us was part of that. So I
Speaker 1: was like, you got you saw I was gonna call
Speaker 1: a fight and caught that ship. Wow, Because GP taught
Speaker 1: us when you rip somebody to go through that chests
Speaker 1: versus usually your hand. You see this right, He told
Speaker 1: us to take a step and come through your chest
Speaker 1: and come and then round out. There's no way you
Speaker 1: can protect the ball. You can't cross it back once
Speaker 1: you get it. Once I'm in your cab, you can't
Speaker 1: cross it up. You even't have to turn your back.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I saw cold take that first night after
Speaker 1: the break. I saw it. You know, we want no
Speaker 1: text or none of that back then. But when I
Speaker 1: first saw my shot, stayed it right here. When I
Speaker 1: saw him, he knew exactly what I was talking about.
Speaker 1: After GP for that, you know, we heard rumors.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you even even heard the ship,
Speaker 2: but we it was word that we were going out
Speaker 2: for you for a whole package, and you were supposed
Speaker 2: to come complete us as our centerpiece to our crazy
Speaker 2: Did you hear that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I heard about y'all man. This So we've been
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this for years. We spoke on
Speaker 1: this all the time heard it, like when we heard
Speaker 1: on the team was.
Speaker 4: Tripping, sending anybody there KG, sitting the whole team to
Speaker 4: coach anybody we need KG listen.
Speaker 1: I never know you knew about it. I looked at
Speaker 1: it like this. I was like, man, I got one
Speaker 1: chance at this, right I had I had Uh, I
Speaker 1: had Oakland, I had Phoenix, I had the Lakers, and
Speaker 1: I had the Celtics, and uh, I'm just being honest
Speaker 1: with everybody. I wanted link with Cold because Cobe and
Speaker 1: I had like a listen to me, COVID and I
Speaker 1: had like a different, a different connect Like when Covid
Speaker 1: Shaq went went went on their little thing. A lot
Speaker 1: of people went with Shack. A lot of people didn't
Speaker 1: even fuck with Cold, you know, Cold whatever. One of
Speaker 1: the very few that just stayed with him. And just see,
Speaker 1: I was a neutral guy anyway. I show everybody love
Speaker 1: you Cold love dog, but Cold respect dogs like like
Speaker 1: like real like real cats. Start. If you ever notice,
Speaker 1: he never really got into it with somebody that he
Speaker 1: really respected, you know what I'm saying. Like I watched
Speaker 1: when you and him went out and you threw the ball,
Speaker 1: he flinched. It was a form of respect there that
Speaker 1: he was they was talking, Nobody noticed what they was talking.
Speaker 1: Same thingous like thy god, wish it with him with
Speaker 1: this ball, you got more respect than me than that.
Speaker 1: So him and Matt was I already knew that, But
Speaker 1: players know this, and then you already know who I'm
Speaker 1: If we get into it and we get to tech,
Speaker 1: it's verbal, we bumping, we bumping. I'm already knowing what
Speaker 1: he's saying to me without even talking. So that's how
Speaker 1: we used to real shit, like not even thinking. That's
Speaker 1: how players actually was talking to dealing with each other.
Speaker 1: So whenever I would watch him get into it with
Speaker 1: somebody and he actually would get into it, it was
Speaker 1: either because he didn't respect them and it went like that,
Speaker 1: or respect him and then win a whole other way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people don't know.
Speaker 2: That's how Like when we got into it in twenty ten,
Speaker 2: the Ball faked ship like he was the first person
Speaker 2: to call me free agency, like, yo, you want to
Speaker 2: come be your laker?
Speaker 1: Anyone crazy enough to fuck with me?
Speaker 2: It's crazy, And he went and got round the year
Speaker 2: before when Ronins and Houston, He's like, I'm tired of
Speaker 2: wrestling with you crazy motherfuckers.
Speaker 1: Come fuck with me. I tried the link waiting and
Speaker 1: I couldn't get him on the line. And uh, people
Speaker 1: was like, yo, man, ship man, let's do what do shit?
Speaker 1: You know a picture? You you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And Chauncey and Tlou we used to all work out
Speaker 1: together in LA and we was all together in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: When they say that you can go talk to people,
Speaker 1: that's when they're done with you. They give you permission
Speaker 1: to go talk to other teams. And when they give
Speaker 1: you permission to entertain mother other options, they over you
Speaker 1: move on. So y'all don't know, Yo, I get up
Speaker 1: at like four thirty. You know why I get up
Speaker 1: at four thirty because I live in LA and it's
Speaker 1: a cat in New York getting up at seven. He
Speaker 1: up already working already. Actually, if he got up at six,
Speaker 1: I'm an hour and thirty behind this cat. So I
Speaker 1: used to think, like this amri in New York. It's
Speaker 1: some cats on the East Coast. They already working in Atlanta. Damn,
Speaker 1: I'm late. So I used to hit the beast like
Speaker 1: four point thirty, and then I used to you know,
Speaker 1: I used to go through all us with the workout
Speaker 1: and then the gym, and then I'm done by like twelve, right,
Speaker 1: And then I used to think like, damn, yo, they
Speaker 1: don't even respect that nigga get up and do this
Speaker 1: every day like this, then they're gonna let me do.
Speaker 1: So I started losing appreciation for them appreciating me. I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, somewhere somebody else gonna show
Speaker 1: you some love, you know, or show you hope. So
Speaker 1: and then I sat with Chauncey them because they used
Speaker 1: to meet me in the workout in the middle of
Speaker 1: the workout when we went to the gym, and they
Speaker 1: was like, Chance's like, Dad, you gotta get off that shit.
Speaker 1: Him and t Lou was just sawing me like, yo,
Speaker 1: you gotta this your chance to go get with somebody.
Speaker 1: You can give them somebody real, you can man that
Speaker 1: same shit you doing the soda boy, you gonna put
Speaker 1: there with somebody else, boy, you you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I was like, shit, I shout at Cody even
Speaker 1: he picked the line up, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So T lew and cold close. So he was like
Speaker 1: shoot at him again, see what he a So I
Speaker 1: shot it. He hit back, So I had to make
Speaker 1: a decision coming down and then you know, I'm making
Speaker 1: decisions by my selfish it. So this is the first
Speaker 1: time I got to I'm talking to my my wife
Speaker 1: at the time, and I'm like asking her like She's like,
Speaker 1: go with your gut. So I was like shit, Danny
Speaker 1: Ainge flew in and he just got right to it
Speaker 1: and showed the vision and the vision he was saying.
Speaker 1: You ever have somebody talk to you and as they
Speaker 1: talk to you, you can see what they're saying so
Speaker 1: much that you're not even looking at them no more,
Speaker 1: but you see it. That's how he was painting, and
Speaker 1: he was ra Picasso. And this is Danny Inge's greatness
Speaker 1: in him being able to lure you in his charming ass.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I didn't even know he
Speaker 1: was finessing me and we was doing that, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying, sauted like
Speaker 1: a mom from right. But then what I did know
Speaker 1: I had watched him a couple of times and when
Speaker 1: I first saw film of Rondo in Massive Square Guard,
Speaker 1: he got the crazy clip of he scored the ball.
Speaker 1: I think he stole it and didn't get an N
Speaker 1: one and something. So I saw that, but I thought
Speaker 1: his name my A D d As thought he was
Speaker 1: African and some ship. So I was like, yeah, what's
Speaker 1: up with the little African guards. You're talking about Sebastian. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know Sebastian. I'm talking about the little the little

Speaker 1: kid because he was in the package. I was like,
Speaker 1: he's like, I think he's gonna no, we can't do it. Then,
Speaker 1: and then I actually called Steve Nash just to the courtesy,
Speaker 1: and I guess the call he kit me back was like, yo,

Speaker 1: a major pay cut. And I was like, okay, if
