56
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: because I know you're gonna have a lot to say, yes, yes, yes,

57
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: hell yeah. Lebron James's Cleveland fucking Cavaliers. He did it again,

58
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: ripped my fucking heart out a couple of days ago.

59
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just getting over this Game seven. I'll

60
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: just say this, Gerald, the guys unfucking real. He played

61
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: all eighty two games this season, and his eighty ninth game,

62
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: Game seven of that series was probably his best. That

63
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: was literally probably his best game. I don't fact check.

64
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: The Iron Rapports Stereo podcast does not fact check, but

65
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: I believe this fucking guy had forty five points. Usually

66
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: that's a crowning jewel somebody's career. At game seven, forty

67
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: five points like usually it's like, oh yeah, this is

68
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: like this is like nothing to this fucking guy. Yes, customary,

69
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: trust h. I try to tell you, man, we're watching

70
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: something special, So they hate should cease because you're watching

71
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: something on another level and you just have to appreciate it.

72
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: Because I've never seen this guy beat that beat that

73
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: team Indiana paces by himself, he can say because his

74
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: team sucks, the Cavalier sucked. So when he needs to

75
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: get forty six, he gets it. When he needs to

76
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: get twelve rebounds, he gets it. Defense, everything, this is

77
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: this is something else. Man, So yo That's why I say,

78
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: you gotta cool out when they hate when this this

79
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: basketball ship, man, it's due to some other ship. I

80
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: gotta cool I'm not cooling out. You're fucking cooling to

81
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: cool out because you look Ray cooling. Now. I ain't

82
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: cooling now. Look look he's beating NBA team in the

83
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: playoffs by himself. Now, we're not cooling out over here.

84
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: Who's ever done that? Yeah, my man, we're not cooling out.

Speaker 1: talents to Toronto and Canada. So I got my fucking passport.

87
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: I considered. Now I'm gonna be honest, I considered taking

88
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: this series off, completely taking myself and my emotions out

89
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: of the equation. After Game seven the other day, I

90
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: was so beaten. I was so morally defeated. I was

91
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,960

Speaker 1: out and I quote, I've been traveling for years now,

257
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: and it's so frustrating that the hotel toiletry industry entirely

258
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: alienates people of color. I can't use this perfect she

259

262
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: without knowing that people of color and white people require

263
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: different hair care products. Let me tell you something, Halzy.

264
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: I know you're young, Okay, but I don't give a fuck.

265
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm so sick and right of everybody trying to make

266
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: every single thing into an issue. First of all, since

267
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: you're such a big pop star, I'm sure you're staying

268
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: at some of the nicest hotels all in the fucking world. Okay,

269
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: you're you're super duper privilege. You could afford it. I

270
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: know you acknowledge that, But what about the people with

271
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: dry hair? What about the people with died here? What

272
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: about the people with thinning hair? What about the people

273
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: with oily here? What about you? Shut the funk up.

274
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: You're trying to make nothing out of something. Everybody thinks

275
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: you're a fucking freedom fighter. Here's my suggestion for you,

276
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: Halsey or Halzy, whatever the funk your name is, Okay,

277
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: very pretty. I'm sure that your prettiness is one of

278
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: the main reasons why you're a quote unquote successful pop star.

279
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: Why don't you, since you care so much even though

280
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: you look like fucking Fara Fawcett, why don't you start

281
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: a line of hair care products? And I'm gonna give

282
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: you the name of your products for free. Hals It

283
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: used to start a line of hair care products called

284
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: Barely Black hair Care. Okay, because I don't give a

285
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: fuck what you is. I look at you at face value.

286

287
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: and you don't have no kinks in your ship. Trying

288
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: to make something out of nothing, and you're not the

289
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: spokesperson from my Fucker's with kinky hair. Oh, a person

290

00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: gonna start wiping out a lot of ship like brownies,

292
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: they become the cake of color. They don't wanna say

293
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: anything where have any negative connotations towards black people. It's

294
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy, man, they're all nuts. All this race,

296
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: You know. This chick also said, it's not just hotels.

297
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: I've stayed in psychiatric hospital. Oh are you damn right?

298
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: From of course, and they didn't have hair products for

299
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: patients who were people of color. She's a crusader. She's

300
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: like the race mafia. She's a crusader for for people

301
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: of color, so she could feel less guilty. That's all

302
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: it is. So you become like a crusader. We don't

303
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,600

00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: fucking out of here with this bullshit. Yeah, man, all

308
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: these fucking crusaders. Man, I'm with all that ship wrap.

309
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,320

310
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,280

311
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: have airnis and be uh harmonious with one another. But

312
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: there's one question I had about Kaepernick about what about Kaepernick?

313
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: Why is he wearing a costume from the sixties? And

314
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: that that's the only question I have. I get all

315
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: that ship. You know, you out there doing whatever you

Speaker 1: we're in the sixties. That's all. Uh, that's that's seems odd.

319
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,840

Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up starbuckshit man, Well what about it?

385
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: Remember that we was talking about that whole issue where

386
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: the guys got arrested in Starbucks, and I called the

387
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: barista it was a prejudice barista. I think you'd called

388
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: her a racist barista. I think it was prejudice you

389
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: didn't call a racist barista. Nah, you didn't call a

390
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: racist fuck no, no no. And and I did a

391
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: little research and I got to the real story of

392
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: what happened. And this is talking a Starbucks in Philadelphia

393
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: where where where there the cops were called on the guys. Yes,

394
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: And it made it appear as if they came in

395
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: there and just arrested them, and homegirls said get the

396
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: black people out of there. Was none of that. The

397
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: policy in Starbucks is in order, if you want to

398
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: use the rest room, you gotta buy something. So that's

399
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: the policy. So dudes, dudes were sitting there and um,

400
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: they asked to go to the rest room and the

401
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: barista said, well, you can't use the rest room unless

402
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: you know your customer, unless you buy some money. Said nah,

403
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: he just she was like, well you're not gonna buy anything,

404
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: can you leave, you step out or whatever? Boom, Then

405
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: she called the cops. I heard then one one one

406
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: call yo. It was some bullshit. They just sensationalize it

407
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: and make it appear as if it's some racist ship.

408
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: This is all orchestrated. And now you got motherfucker's out

409

Speaker 1: didn't hear the uh the uh the call yet, but

413
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: I could say this. I can tell you this as

414
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: a man who has suffered with ulstrative colitis since he's

415
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: sixteen years old, sixteen seventeen years old. You guys know

416
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: about my three point positioning system. You guys know how

417
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: I get down on the four or five. You know

418
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: how I get down in the flower pots. You know

419
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: how I get down when I poop in public against

420
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: my will. I'm not proud of it, but I do

421
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: what I gotta do. When you go into a Starbucks,

422
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: when you go into a diner, when you go into

423
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: uh anywhere, and you asked him where the bathroom is,

424
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: they tell me, yo, you gotta purchase, you gotta pay something,

425
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: you gotta pay. I'll I'll at this point, I'll just

426
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: be like, yo, Uh, can I get a water? Can

427
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: I get a coffee? Can I get a soda? I

428
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: need the bathroom key. I'll leave them money or or

429
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: I'll say I'll pay afterwards, or or if they gotta

430
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: pay now, I'll leave five dollars on the thing, because

431
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: five dollars is worth not walking down the street with

432
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: a little duty in my in my underwear. Sorry, I

433
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: don't want to divert the thing, but I know that

434
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: when you walk into any kind of coffee place, what

435
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: are the other places? I like, what's the orangina? What

436
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: did the jomba juice? You gotta pay to play if

437
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: you want to use that toilet. Especially I understand if

438
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: somebody like myself, if I'm gonna come in there and

439
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: blow it out, I should have to pay. It's not

440
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: a fucking help senter. It's not the p A L.

441
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And they make it appears

442
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: like these guys are just sitting there and they they

443
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: racially profiled them and threw them out and called the car.

444
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 1: None of that ship happened? Man, who motherfuck is? Man?

445
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: That's see, that's the that's the detriment to this ship.

00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: they're saying that she go too far. First of all,

455
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: the Republicans don't have no funny people. They don't have

456
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: any many funny that could go up there and represent

457
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: them and and and talk shit. Hire somebody like. They

458
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: don't have no like funny funny person, Like who go

459
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: up there, Like get James Wood. He's a he's an actor,

460
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: Get him like a joke writer and do something. There's

461
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: gotta be a Republican comedian that could talk greasy. And

462
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: now Donald Trump wants to um cancel the correspondents dinner

463
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: as a whole. Now, we're not canceling ship, dude, We're not.

464
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: We're not canceling jack ship because because you don't like it,

465
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: because Sarah Huckabee and Cocky Kelly and Conway and and

466
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: all of them. You know, she was talking about it.

467
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: First of all, like I said, get yourself a funny

468
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: Republican comedian. Uh. Second of all, this is tradition. And

469
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: third of all, you started all this ship talking Donald Trump.

470
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: You're the one that was disrespecting President Obama publicly from

471
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: day one, and now you're catching feelings. We're not. We're

472
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: not canceling ship Duke, you understand. And if I were you,

473
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: I would just get somebody to snap on this comedian

474
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: Michelle Wolf because she got some fucked up teeth, Michelle Will,

475
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: she got some fucked up rabbit T shirt. If I

476
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: was a Republican comedian, she'd be easy work because she's

477
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: funny looking. She's she's funny looking. I think she's also

478
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: very funny, but she's funny looking like that should be

479
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: easy work. You should be able to find somebody to

480
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: snap on her easily and represent the Republican party. Like

481
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: after she goes up there and talk shit, you just

482
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: go up there and be like, yo, what's up with

483
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: your grill? Because you look, you look fucked up, You

00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: don't know what the funk you're talking about. Her whole

486
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: furniture game, like, her whole set of fronts needs to

487
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:16,959
Speaker 1: be like reforming um dick stain. Donald Trump is officially

488
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: being sued for defamation by Stormy Daniels. That is going down.

489
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: She filed a lawsuit. Yo, this is this is a

490
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: big deal. You can't just yo, I know about defamation lawsuits.

491
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: There's a certain asshole bleacher out there, okay, who shall

492
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: remain nameless, talking all kinds of sideways ship, the fame

493
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: in the name, to fame in the game. He might

494
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: be getting hit with a defamation suit himself, all right,

495
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: because you know you can't just talk all kinds of

496
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: sideways ship and then run away into the grassy knoll.

497

Speaker 1: He's gonna appeel it, this, that and the other thing.

501
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: This probably won't be something that gets her impeached. This

502
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: thing could be drawn up for for months and months

503
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: and months and months. Anything anything to get him in peace,

504

00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: like Oh he lost his sneaker, so hopefully maybe that

508
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: will get him impeached. Everybody's upset that this hick Michelle Wolf.

509
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: Did she go to too far? Did she go too far?

00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: Nothing is too far for Dick stank Donald Trump, Donald

00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: here from Boston, and that that could have been an

721
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: issue setting this whole thing ahead. I've forgot to mention that.

722

754
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: agar Sosa who's from the Bronx, David Paget uh Derek character.

755
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: It was. It was a good team, okay, and and Patino.

756
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: Um you know, I had the pleasure of talking to

757
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell, who had so many Like he basically said,

758
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: like Patino took him from being a good player to

759
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: a great player. I was a nothing player, but I

760
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: went to five Star basketball camp and I had the

761
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: pleasure of being coached by him and watching him give

762
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: lectures and and obviously I'm a fan of his. And

763
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, the one thing I remember about when when

764
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: I watched him give a lecture at five Star basketball game,

765
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: like the details, Like he he gave like an hour

766
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: long lecture on like the traveling call in the NBA,

767
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: Like he broke down traveling, what's traveling, what's not traveling,

768
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: and the detail. And like I was, he's like an encyclopedia.

769
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: So what did you take away from Patino? His practices

770
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: are infamously challenging. Uh. He changed Billy Donovan. Um, you

771
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: know Billy Donovan was a pudgy point guard. He got

772
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: him in shape. Donovan Mitchell talked about him getting So

773
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: what was it like actually being coached by Patino? His

774
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: work ethics crazy, So I don't know many people know this.

775
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: Sensibly has a rule so you can practice twenty hours

776
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: a week, so just so the kids don't like die

777
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: twenty hours a week. They made that rule because when

778
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: COACHP was at Providence with Billy Donovan, they went to

779
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: the final four and the press conferences, the kids are like, yeah,

780
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: practice like five hours a day, and then the sub

781
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: blaze like wait, like that's not healthy. So they made

782
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: that The stub blame made that rule because of Coach P.

783
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. So that's that's a cool fact

784
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 1: about Coach P. His work I think is crazy. The

785
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: guy doesn't sleep at all. So um, I was I

786
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: worked under him at the Puerto Rican national team. I

787
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: was his assistant. He'll call you like at three in

788
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: the morning and be like wait, what do you think

789
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: about this? He'd be in the treadmill. So he'll be

790
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: going to treadmill at three in the morning. I'm watching film,

791
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: Like what do you think about this? Guy? Never sleeps,

792
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: like like think about like a play or he's just

793
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: his mind is moving. Um, interesting facts. So he gets

794
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: to the He got to the office every day at

795
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: five in the morning. If you work for him and

796
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: you don't beat him to the office, then you get fined.

797
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: So just imagine every day, every single day. So it's

798
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: not like he walks in and he checks every room.

799
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: He walks in and if he yells, hey, coach Mike,

800
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 1: and if and if he doesn't come, then he's fine.

801
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: So they need to be there before him. So he

802
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: really teaches work ethic. Is his work ethic is ridiculous.

803
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: His attention to detail, as you said, so every day

804
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: before practice. People don't realize this how good of a

805
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: guy is. It's a different topic every day at life topics.

806
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: So one day it might be credit cards. You know,

807
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: when you guys get older, this is how not to

808
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: spend money here, So every day he gives you life lessons.

809
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: That's why it's such a respect him so much. And

810
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: then you're getting the practice, but every day it's a

811
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: life lesson. So and are his practices like are they

812
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: Is it a lot of running? Is it? Is it

813
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: like just hearing him being lectured? This is twentysomething years ago.

814
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: I was just and I didn't give a shit about anything.

815
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: I thought I was so fucking smart when I was

816
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen years old. I mean, you must have learned

817
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: so much about basketball, like the details of basketball and

818
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: improving for sure and that, and I think that was

819
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: how I got to where I am today. I would watch,

820
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, I would do my individual workout, but then

821
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 1: I would watch the bigs and I would watch the guards.

822
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: I did it all my years, and I took notes.

823
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: I still have the notebook just all the drills that

824
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: he does. He so he himself. No college coach does this.

825
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: He does every individual workout every morning himself, which is unbelievable. Um,

826
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: so that that's a whole another No coach does that.

827
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: So he's like so dedicated. So who will do? Will

828
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: do individuals in the morning from like seven to ten,

829
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 1: and he'll go lift weights, go on the treadmill, watch film,

830
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: and then practice. He's just like a machine. Uh, super motivating.

831
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah alright. So then based on everything I know about you,

832
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: other than your Instagram stuff, you got a job working

833
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: as a player development coach. Where what is that? What

834
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: is a player development with the knicks? He basically is

835
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: this a skills trainer. It's on court skills trainer. It's

836
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: funny I say that to people. Became a player development coach? Yea,

837
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: what the hell does that mean? Ever knows what it means.

838
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: So player development is just I can I help the

839
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: guys with their jump shots and with their dribbling. It's

840
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: just like a skills trainer and who who decides, uh,

841
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Schmo needs to work on his his

842
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: drop step. Uh, this guy needs to work on his

843
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: step back. Who was sort of sessing that out and

844
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: seeing that is that you was at a combination of

845
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: coaches And then how do you go up to an

846
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: NBA player and go, Yo, you could be you know

847
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: a lot better if you learn how to drop step

848
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: or your drop step sucks or your drop step is

849
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 1: non existent, which as you know, is like it's going

850
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: extinct in the NBA. How does that work? How does

851
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: it get divvied out? And then who goes up to

852
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: the player and says, this is what we need to work?

853
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: So that actually was my role. So I had to

854
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Knicks are huge in reports, so I

855
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: would have to write a report on each guy's game,

856
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: their strengths, their weaknesses. And then and what year was this? Um,

857
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 1: that was my first That was first year with the Knicks,

858
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: So two years at of college maybe two thousand and

859
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: four two something like that. So when I first got

860
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: the job, it was tough. It was tough to get

861
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, we had Kenyan Martin run our test, uh,

862
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,959
Speaker 1: Carmalo Anthony, these guys I looked up to their older

863
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: than me, and I had to tell them what to

864
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: do in the court, and at first, and how does

865
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: that work? At first? It was tough, um, But I

866
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: think me and Mellow became so close because I was

867
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: the only person whenever he had a bad game, he

868
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: goes to the training room and the game is done,

869
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: and no one would want to be around him. They're

870
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: like scared to be around Mellow, like he had a

871
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: bad game. And I was just like, you know, he

872
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: has a human being. So I would just walk up

873
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: to him and be like, hey, what do you think

874
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: about the game, And we talked about the game on

875
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: his worst games. When he had a good game, I

876
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't even say anything, and I think that he the

877
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: respect level became. You know, we became really close because

878
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: I did that. I was the only person I would

879
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: talk to him when things would go bad. And then

880
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: through that we became very close. And then I kind

881
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: of just like anything in life, when you have a

882
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: top guy, everyone below them, we'll start listening to me.

883
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: So I credit Mellow for really, you know, getting me

884
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: the respect of the league. Carmelo, We could say what

885
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: we want to say, not with all that bullshit. The

886
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: one thing that no one could say is that Carmelo

887
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: Anthony is an offensive machine. He has the whole gamut.

888
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: He has uh, you know, off the ball moves, he

889
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 1: has you know, with the ball moves, he has jab steps,

890
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: he has back to the basket. He's got a whole

891
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: fucking the whole arsenal of offensive moves, all of it.

892
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: So if he has a bad game and you're gonna

893
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: go work with him or you're gonna go work out

894
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: with this, you know, he obviously came into the NBA

895
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: having this and he's perfected it. Fucking jab step left,

896
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: jabstep right. He's got the whole ship for sure. When

897
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: he's talking about like I gotta get this going, Like

898
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,760
Speaker 1: what would be something, especially when he was with the Knicks,

899
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: that you would work on it that you remembered working

900
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: I know it's a few years ago. Yeah, so no,

901
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: So that's a good question. Um, so he was maybe

902
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 1: he was already in the league maybe five, six, seven,

903
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: eight years So how I became close with him? I

904
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: would say, looking two thousand five, you did this move

905
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: or would be in a workout and I teach him

906
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 1: a move. He don't know how to do that. I

907
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: actually no, in two thousand, five thousand and six, you

908
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: were doing this move. So I would just kind of

909
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: like rebring it up to him, like you used to

910
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: do these moves. As you get older, sometimes you forget

911
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: the moves that you do. So I watched so much

912
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: film on him. I think I've literally watched every single

913
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: game he's ever played in his NBA career, and I

914
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: would just and he and he saw how much that,

915
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, I watched him, so he just started that

916
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: trust really built. As he got older, he kind of

917
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: got stuck in some things and I kind of was like, hey,

918
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: you used to do this, get back to doing this.

919
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: And that was kind of how it became okay. And

920
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: so the Knicks I am UM, I am in a

921
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 1: on a personal uh band. I will not go back

922
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: into Madison Square Garden until they allow Charles Oakley back

923
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: in there. UM. I have been very vocal about this.

924
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: You worked there during the Phil Jackson era. Give me

925
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: uh some Phil Jackson's stories, if any, give me um

926
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: some weirdness and give me some brilliance, because one of

927
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: the things that I think is fucked up about Phil

928
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 1: Jackson's time in New York is that it really sort of.

929
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: It is gonna be like a little bit of a

930
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: stain on his legacy, but he is still Phil Jackson.

931
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: So give me the best, weirdest and wackiest of your

932
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: time with Phil Jackson at being a player development. I

933
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: didn't even know your name, No, he did. Did you

934
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: think you're like because you look like I mean with

935
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: if you shave your beard, you look how your How

936
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: old are you? I'm thirty one? Man? I mean you

937
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: get rid of this little fucking beard here, like you know,

938
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: like you probably get I d at the subway. Yeah,

939
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 1: so you walk you got Phil Jackson there? Who's Phil Jackson?

940
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: Does he even know who you are? He didn't. So

941
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: when he first got the job, literally day one, he

942
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: he they gave him his office and I was like,

943
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I'm gonna go stay what's

944
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,240
Speaker 1: up to him? And I walked halfway to the hallway.

945
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: You're a ballsy man, you know, But then I walked back.

946
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: I swear to god, I walked halfway walked back, and

947
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: you got nervous. I got nervous, and I'm like texting

948
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: my dad and I'm like, hey, should I go in

949
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: and actually like talk to him, and so I was like, ah,

950
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: so I did it. I was like, you know, I'm

951
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,720
Speaker 1: just gonna go in. And I walked in there, introduced myself,

952
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: asked me what my name is. He thought he probably

953
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: thought I was like an intern or like some like

954
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: a manager or something. And he's like, yeah, they taking

955
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: care of you. And I'm like yeah, and he's like

956
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: nice to meet you. And I was like, oh man,

957
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: that didn't go good like that. That was awkward. I

958
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: was like, ah. So then a few weeks later, he

959
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: brought the staff in and um, he fired literally, he

960
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: brought the head coach and he fired him, and brought

961
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: the assistant coach and fired him another assistant coach. Find

962
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: everyone's being fired and I'm lasting line and I'm like,

963
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: I'm about to get fired. So I went in and

964
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: then he asked me three questions and I felt like

965
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: I was like, it was really awkward. Asked me three questions.

966
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: The questions he asked me if Steve Nash was I've

967
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,919
Speaker 1: actually never ever said these questions, uh, he he said,

968
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: with Steve Nash an athlete, and why give me five reasons?

969
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: He asked you just specifically, ye, do you have any

970
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,479
Speaker 1: idea why was Steve Nash Uh No, Well, probably because

971
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: you're normal person doesn't think Steve Nash is an athlete,

972
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: and so luckily, you know, I kind of keep tracking everything.

973
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, he is an athlete because in the

974
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: NBA Combine he broke the record for the three minute run.

975
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: He got like thirty two and stammina is actually athleticism.

976
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, he is an athlete. So that was a question.

977
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: Then he said, were you scared ship when you were

978
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: getting Yeah, I was mumbling, I was super scared, super scared,

979
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: but I tried to get the job done. Second one

980
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: was give me five characteristics of an athlete. Name that.

981
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: Then he said, wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

982
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: I want to hear the answers. So I said, if

983
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: I could skimming over this stuff, this is the stuff here.

984
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: So I said, you know, jumping, but there's different types

985
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: of jumping. You could be a quick jumper and you

986
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 1: could be a you can have a great second jump. Um,

987
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: you could quickness change the speed. Now wait a second,

988
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: when when you say jumping, just based on what you

989
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: see of me. Chris Brickley, NBA gurule, what would you

990
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: guess what kind of jumper do you think me, Michael

991
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: Rapport is I see you look at me up and

992
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: down like just off the eye test. Okay, you left

993
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: you already lefty, so that means you jump off the

994
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: right foot. That correct. I bet at one point you

995
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: could jump off the right foot and dunk it with

996
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: the left hand. That's such a compliment and and such

997
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: a look pretty tall. I'm pretty tall, and I have

998
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: an incredible I bet you I have the longest wingspan

999
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: out of all guys in my size, at all the

1000
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: guys you work out with, even fucking Donovan the thirty

1001
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: seven and a half. Okay, okay, so the arm is

1002
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,919
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half. So was I right? Could

1003
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: he dunked with the left hand? Hell? No, I couldn't

1004
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: dunk you gave me you. But but I'll tell you

1005
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: six three. I know it's sad with the long arms

1006
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: in the sixth three, but okay, all right, okay, so

1007
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: go ahead. So you we got stamina jumping all sorts

1008
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: of jumping. What's the other thing you told? He hit

1009
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: me with the tough one. So he said, when you

1010
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: go into your jump shot, do you go one too

1011
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: or you hops up into your jump shot. It's a

1012
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: tough question because great shooters do both. So I said,

1013
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 1: actually you don't. You could do whatever you want into

1014
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: your jump shot as long as you follow through have

1015
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: good rotation. And he's like, yeah, that's right. And then

1016
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: it was silent for a little bit and I'm like

1017
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: looking at him, and then he said, all right, pre

1018
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: draft starts in two days. And then I just left

1019
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, I think I kept my job.

1020
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: So I was the only person on staff for like

1021
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 1: three months until they hired Derek Fisher. I was literally

1022
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: the only coach. That's crazy. Do you think looking back

1023
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: on that, that, uh, if you had to answer those

1024
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: those questions incorrectly or differently or not as mumbly confident

1025
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: and as you did that, that could have been like

1026
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: bye bye. He maybe yeah, And that was actually one

1027
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: of the question which I thought for sure I was

1028
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna be gone. He said, you know, I was googling

1029
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: you and you and Jared Smith are cool and I

1030
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: was like yeah, and he's like why, and I was like, well,

1031
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: I played with his brother at the University of Louisville.

1032
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: He's like, so, were you just here just because of

1033
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: Jared Smith and I was like, no, Actually, coach Patino

1034
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: helped recommend me, and you know, I work with some

1035
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: other guys. And at that point I was like, oh god,

1036
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: because you know JR. Is my guy, but you know

1037
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: sometimes he has a bad reputation. So at that point

1038
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm done. So he asked that question too,

1039
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: but it ended with i'll see you in two days

1040
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: with pre draft. So I was excited. And then the

1041
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: pre draft was just a headache. And so what's so

1042
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: why was it a headache? Because I was by I

1043
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: was young, I was by myself. We had all of

1044
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: all twelve Knicks scouts, all the management, UM, all the

1045
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: like VP people. We had five pre draft guys and

1046
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm running it by myself and I'm trying to teach

1047
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: them to try and go. I don't know the triangle.

1048
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: And so if you're trying to teach these rookies, maybe

1049
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: these potential draft to triangle. And it was it was

1050
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: a nightmare. And so this is really funny. I've never

1051
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 1: said this in anything. UM So they say the workout

1052
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: was at eleven am. Phils brought me to his office

1053
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: at ten am and sketched up to try and go

1054
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: in like ten minutes, like, this is how you do it.

1055
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: And I'm like, He's like, can you do some drills

1056
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: off that? And I'm like, yeah, I can try. So

1057
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: we did. The first pre draft workout was a disaster.

1058
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: It was a disaster. Every players there, it was actually

1059
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: it was D'Angelo Russell, Uh, Emmanuel Moody at yeah, it

1060
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: was a disaster man, and Phil kept walking. I was like, no,

1061
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: this is how you do the triangle. So when the

1062
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: workout was done, I went to Phil's office and I

1063
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: was like, Phil, I don't know the triangle. Can we

1064
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: can we like talk about this so I can at

1065
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: least know what I'm doing. So over time I learned

1066
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: the triangle. So that was a good thing because so

1067
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: so can you articulate what the fucking triangle is? The

1068
01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Triangle's gone from New York in a nutshelling. I know

1069
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to because this is a this is a

1070
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: not a visual medium. What what what is the triangle?

1071
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Philosophically it is it's spacing. Uh, you shouldn't be twenty

1072
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: ft next to another guy. Um, you know. It was

1073
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: all due respect to Phil. He's the greatest ever do it.

1074
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: As far as having rings, guys the guys a winner. Um,

1075
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: but I think that with all the analytics now, the

1076
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: triangle just doesn't work as much because teams know what

1077
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: teams are about to do. Back in the day with Jordan,

1078
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have film breakdowns and so you couldn't scout

1079
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: the triangle. Now that it's very robotical, it was this

1080
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: mechanical and so yeah, so I just didn't think it

1081
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: really worked out in New York. Um. But all due

1082
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: respect to philm he kept me. He could have fired me. Okay, cool.

1083
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I love Phil and I got frustrated

1084
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: with it. But what was the thing with them asking

1085
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: you to shut down your show? Social media? Is that

1086
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: a real thing? Yeah, it was so when I first

1087
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: got when yeah, I just I had a big following

1088
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: through social media, uh, you know, through the basketball stuff

1089
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: I was doing. And then I'm also really close friends

1090
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: with Chris Brown, so Chris Brown would all kind of like, uh,

1091
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: at one point in my life, I was kind of like, um,

1092
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: like a mentor to Chris Brown. Um, and he would

1093
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: post me all the time. He has like forty five

1094
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: million followers. So that got my my page really big,

1095
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 1: and they hated that. So I could post anything basketball

1096
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: and they just didn't like it. They hated it. And then, um,

1097
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I think that the breaking point, which it might have been,

1098
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: it was kind of my fault. One summer, mellows like, hey,

1099
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: let's do a Mellow Pro Week. So I didn't really

1100
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 1: know the NBA rules or anything like that, and so

1101
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: we did a pro week and it was me and

1102
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: Mellow ran it. Katie came, um, all types of NBA

1103
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: guys came. Next thing I know, ESPN writes a story

1104
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: saying Chris Brickley organized this um Mellow Pro Week and

1105
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: then next thing I know, I'm in the meeting with

1106
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the GM and uh, the Knicks were fined a bunch

1107
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 1: of money because of that, but they actually weren't. But

1108
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: they actually weren't that mad at me because they're like,

1109
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, we're actually happy that you got the guys

1110
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: together and everything. But you know what, you can't use

1111
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: the social media, so I couldn't use my social media,

1112
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: so all I could do is post like pictures of

1113
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: myself and selfies. So it just had to be normal

1114
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: social media couldn't be anything with your job exactly, which

1115
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, at the time, it was like I saw

1116
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: these other trainers doing it. And you know the social

1117
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: media now you can make money through endorsements through this,

1118
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: so I couldn't do any social media. And yes, so

1119
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: that was that was that day. How do you become?

1120
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: So I think it was last summer and correct me

1121
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. Last summer in Instagram, Twitter, all social media,

1122
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: you see like what looks like to be a private

1123
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: gym Uh it's not an NBA regulation court. Carmelo Anthony

1124
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: is working out every day. Uh, you know it looks like,

1125
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, early in the morning, late at night with

1126
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: a fucking hoodie on, and and and then Hoodie Mellow starts,

1127
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: and then Chris Brickley, Chris Brickley, there's like it looks

1128
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: like a fucking All Star game. I mean, well, look

1129
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Lebron's there, Kevin Durancer, Russell Westbrooks there, c J. McCullum,

1130
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: you're working out within his canner. One day, you're working

1131
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: out with Joking Noworth Riverside Church Jim, which I was

1132
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: a Riverside Church. I was a Hawk. I mean, like,

1133
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm seeing all this stuff and last summer is sort

1134
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: of like who is this fucking guy in Hoodie Mellow?

1135
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: So my first question is this hoodie mellow? This is you.

1136
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: He's showing up with the hoodie. Do you call him

1137
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: hoodie mellow? How did the origins of the hoodie mellow start?

1138
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: So it started, Um, the first workout he came in,

1139
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: he had a winter hat. On second workout he had

1140
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: a hood and then he started working out really well.

1141
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: And then we're about the board a playing for Puerto Rico,

1142
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know what, do a hashtag and

1143
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: right hoodie something just you you can decide. So I

1144
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: wrote hashtag hashtag hoodie season. A few weeks go by

1145
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: in Jimmy Butler's wearing a hood and then a few

1146
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 1: weeks go by and I'm walking into a gym in

1147
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Texas or l A or Florida and kids have on

1148
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: hoods and I'm like, wow, we're making a real movement.

1149
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: Now I don't know this for sure, but then the

1150
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: m b A, for the first time in NBA history,

1151
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: implements hoods on the player's shooting shirts, and it's like, going,

1152
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: it's just going crazy. Um, I should have copied righted

1153
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,959
Speaker 1: it somehow some way, but we didn't. Dude, you didn't

1154
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 1: copyright the hoodie Mellow. Not me, And Mellow always joke

1155
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: about that we should have like copyrighted that hood thing

1156
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: because it's because, I mean, is making millions of it.

1157
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: They're making millions off it. I mean, I mean there's

1158
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: people with Instagram hoodie Laura, like you have nothing to do,

1159
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: Like it just became like a whole fucking thing. Yeah

1160
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: it was cool, Okay, So just talk to me about

1161
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: last summer, like with the workouts, like how did it

1162
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: become this big thing? So I had no idea. So

1163
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: I left the Knicks and I had a feeling, you

1164
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: know that through Mellow, I knew guys like Kauai, I

1165
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: knew Katie, you know, I knew James. I knew some

1166
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: of these guys, but I can never work with them

1167
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: because I was with the Knicks. So I left the Knicks.

1168
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: I had two years left in my contract, and I

1169
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: just left a lot of like majority of people in

1170
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: my life, Like what are you doing? You know hard

1171
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: is to get an MBA job, to be the director

1172
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: of player to Elma for an NBA team, And I

1173
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, but I just I my gut tells

1174
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: me that I think I can be more successful if

1175
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: I leave the Knicks. But I didn't know that, and

1176
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: so I left the Knicks and then you know, I

1177
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: started working out with Mellow and then I had done

1178
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: Evan Mitchell, CJ. McCullum and his canner, worked with kauai Um,

1179
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: worked with a whole bunch of guys, and then once

1180
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: August came, we were like, you know, let's revisit that

1181
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Mellow those Mellow runs we called the Black Ops. That's

1182
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: kind of me and Mellows thing. And then it just

1183
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: got crazy, it got we you know, I think I

1184
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: had like nine NBA All Stars come through. Um this summer,

1185
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to change it up because it so

1186
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 1: the summer would end, I'd walk into the Lifetime Fitness

1187
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 1: and I'd be like fifteen little kids outside like, ask

1188
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: me if the pictures are asking me for like an autograph.

1189
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm like me, I'm a trainer, you don't want my autograph.

1190
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: And then once the open run start, that stood as

1191
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: like a window up top. There would literally be like

1192
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: hundreds of people trying to watch these open runs. It

1193
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: was like MSG at Lifetime Fitness. It was wild, it

1194
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,439
Speaker 1: was awesome. I didn't really appreciate at the time because

1195
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 1: I would do workouts all day and then I would

1196
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: have to schedule them. I was actually more stressed than

1197
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: anything trying to handle forty NBA players schedules at once.

1198
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: But then once it ended in the season started, I'm like,

1199
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: holy shit, that was dope. Carmelo Anthony workout? What is

1200
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: that is it? Is it just maintenance again? Now Carmelo

1201
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: is I don't know what year he's in. He has

1202
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: every single offensive tool. So you if it's one of

1203
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: these videos, it's just you and him, what is the

1204
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: workout and are you structuring? Do you go into like, Okay,

1205
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna meet it so and so time, and we're

1206
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna do this and what is the this so the

1207
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: mellow thing. He'll laugh about this. He's the only player

1208
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: like this, by the way. So he's very bad with timing,

1209
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: very bad with timing. So showing up on time, yes, okay,

1210
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: And he'll he'll tell you that. I say, we schedule

1211
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: a ten A and work out. Then you know it's

1212
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a joke amongst us that you

1213
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: know from anywhere from ten to twelve, he'll he'll be

1214
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: there once he gets there. It's all business. He's as

1215
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: focused as you can be, doesn't want to talk to anybody. Um,

1216
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: He'll let me schedule the workout. The night before. I'll

1217
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you know, do you want to work

1218
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 1: on this, this or this? He'll say, that's where work

1219
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: on this and he and then this will be what

1220
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: like this, This will the midpost one day. One day

1221
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: we'll do catch and shoot. One day, we'll do conditioning,

1222
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: one day we'll do ball handling. We kind of focused

1223
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: each day on on different stuff. And he as far

1224
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: as NBA like star type guys go, like you know,

1225
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: future Hall of famers. He probably spends the most time

1226
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: in the gym because he started working out in May,

1227
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: which is unheard of. And he's just a gym rat.

1228
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: He loves the game of basketball and he he really is.

1229
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 1: He works so hard. I think because he works so

1230
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 1: hard that all these guys in the league respect him.

1231
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: And that helped me out because all these guys would

1232
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: come to me like, oh, Mellow really doesn't Um, he's

1233
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: not really doesn't let many people in his life I

1234
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: want to work out with you. So I really do

1235
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,959
Speaker 1: credit Mellow to every single accomplishment I've had from player development,

1236
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 1: because you know, he didn't have to take me under

1237
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: his wing, and he did, so that's like my guy

1238
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: for life. And then so who was the next player

1239
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 1: that stored us? Because I see c J. Mccullman, he's

1240
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: another offensive juggernaut. Yeah. I don't know stats. I don't

1241
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: stat check, I don't fact check. Chris. I wrote that

1242
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: a couple of notes here, and that was just out

1243
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: of respect because I knew your father was coming. Okay,

1244
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: so that's usually off the cup. C J McCollum, he

1245
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: can do it all step back, left, hand right, He's

1246
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: got all the ship. So he starts working out with you,

1247
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: and like, what is it? How do you say, well,

1248
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna work on this. Like a guy like CJ

1249
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: offensively may say, well the defensive he's short, he's never

1250
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna be defensive stopper just because of his size. What

1251
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: do you work on with c J mccollor what like?

1252
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: And does he say I want to work on blah

1253
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: blah blah and what is the blah blah blah? Some

1254
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: guys do that, but I don't. I don't feed into

1255
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: that because a lot of guys their sense of reality

1256
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: is wrong, and some of the stars they'll be like

1257
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: they want to do something that, So I kind of

1258
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: I I watch every clip. So what I do if

1259
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: I wanted, If I'm gonna work with the guy I

1260
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: watched every single time they touched the ball that past season,

1261
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: then I'll come to them and I'll look at all

1262
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: the statistics and say from this part of the floor,

1263
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 1: you didn't shoot that well. From this part of the floor,

1264
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: you shot well going right, you didn't shoot all going left.

1265
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: And then you know, they say, okay, let's work on that. Um.

1266
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 1: CJ McCullum. By the way, Kevin Durant just shout at

1267
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: CJ McCollum and say he's one of the off his

1268
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: guys in the NBA to guard, which which I agree.

1269
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: C J is having a great year. So c J

1270
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: came to me because of mellow Um he d m

1271
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: ME and I was like one day, I was like,

1272
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: why did you decide d m me. He's like, well,

1273
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, mellow it really doesn't let many people in

1274
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: a circle. So I wanted to see what you were

1275
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 1: like and with me and CJ really hit it off.

1276
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: That's actually one of my best friends. That's cool. So

1277
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: like with his workouts, like what are you specifically like

1278
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: working on? So are you allowed to say these things

1279
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: like in terms of oh, going to my left, I

1280
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,560
Speaker 1: mean he could do it all because if you're not

1281
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 1: allowed to say I get it because because because because

1282
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: you're not giving me the details, but like I get

1283
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: it because I know that like the politics of like

1284
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: are you allowed to say, like he said, I want

1285
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 1: to work on this because with the eye test, I'm like,

1286
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: this fucking guy could do everything offensively, every single move,

1287
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: every single trick. He's got the whole arsenal, Like I

1288
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: got him, like Bradley Beal, Like they're theyr remind me

1289
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:53,600
Speaker 1: each other because they're undersized to guards and they do.

1290
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: They got it all. So like with CJ, like what

1291
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: is he working on? Like what does he want to

1292
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: improve on? So he'll get so with this, it's kind

1293
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,640
Speaker 1: of cool. They'll give me like the the structure of

1294
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: their offense and then I'll kind of go to my

1295
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: room and I'll figure out drills within their offense. So

1296
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: always productive. So first that and then we'll work on

1297
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: different things. Like for instance, we worked on the lefty floater.

1298
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: Lefty floor is a super hard shot. We worked on

1299
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: a lot. Yes, he's a righty, so now every time

1300
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: he does like a lefty floater in the game. Right

1301
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: after the game, I'll text him, but I'll do you know,

1302
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it in JOCOB. But and that's that's

1303
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: the best thing as a trainer to work on something

1304
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: for a whole summer and then see the guy do it.

1305
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: That's like the best feeling in the world. Um yeah,

1306
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: and just just making his handle better, you can always

1307
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: be a more consistent shooter. His work ethic is so crazy,

1308
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: uh he That guy would work out like two two

1309
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 1: and a half hours a day. It was nuts. I'd

1310
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: be tired and you would be tired. I'm like, how

1311
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 1: is this possible? Who? Who else? As far as work

1312
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: ethic has impressed you where You're like, this is just

1313
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: just a beast and his canner. That guy is like

1314
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: a gladiator. So he'll work out for like an hour

1315
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: and a half going balls to the wall. Then he'll

1316
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: go to the pool and like swom a bunch of laughs,

1317
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 1: and then he'll go another session. His workout this crazy.

1318
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: You have a cool story about lebron Um. I've never

1319
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,600
Speaker 1: told this story. So Lebron came to one of the

1320
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: Black Cops open runs. So the run starts at eleven am.

1321
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: So usually guys will get there, you know, ten fifty five.

1322
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes the guy will get there like at ten fifteen.

1323
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 1: Lebron showed up at eight thirty in the morning and

1324
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: he lifted for like an hour and then he went

1325
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: to the court and did all the stretching stuff. And

1326
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: no one's ever showed up that early. And I was

1327
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: just sticking in my mind. All these rookies were walking

1328
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: in like right before leven, and I'm like, something's wrong.

1329
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: This guy is the greatest to do it, one of

1330
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: the greatest to do it, and he showed up two

1331
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: and a half hours early. Why don't you guys do that?

1332
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 1: So I have the utmost respect for Lebron. His work

1333
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: ethic is crazy. That's crazy. Did did you watch him lift? Um?

1334
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:48,640
Speaker 1: I got I didn't think he wasn't get there at

1335
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 1: eight thirty. So I live in up. I live in

1336
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: the building and I usually eat breakfast at nine. I

1337
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: got down and I see. The funniest thing is Lifetime

1338
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: Fitness a whole bunch of random people, and you have

1339
01:12:56,479 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: Lebron James in the just in with amongst all the people,

1340
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: and he's lifting, and I'm like, wow, this is nuts.

1341
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, I said, it's up to him,

1342
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 1: thanks for coming, and he was just really focused. But yeah,

1343
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone get to the workout two and

1344
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 1: a half hours early. What was the most competitive? Oh

1345
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 1: shit moment? Because you're obviously a fan of basketball, and

1346
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 1: I get at a certain point, like you get used

1347
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: to working out with mellow, you get used to working

1348
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: out with these guys, like I think last year, last summer,

1349
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,799
Speaker 1: summer of two thousands, seventeen, um, there was a workout.

1350
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 1: First of all, I think Russell Westbrook was there with

1351
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 1: my guy. What was the most first of all? When

1352
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 1: Westbrook was that these these games, he's essentially these high

1353
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: level pickup games, is he going as hard as like?

1354
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,719
Speaker 1: Does he ever slow down? No? No, no, Russ, he doesn't.

1355
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: There's no slow right that. No, there isn't. There's everyone

1356
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 1: is afraid of Russ. That's the funniest thing. So what

1357
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 1: do you mean when Russ walks in the gym, he

1358
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: just already has that demeanor like he's like a pit

1359
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: bull that knowing like not many people really want talk

1360
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,719
Speaker 1: with him. And I think we built our relationship because

1361
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: I would I just go up to him, you know,

1362
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 1: I'd we talked and I treated him like he was

1363
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: a normal guy, but a lot of these NBA guys

1364
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: are like afraid of him. It's like he's like like

1365
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: another species because he plays so hard. So that's it's

1366
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: actually on my Instagram. The first play of the first day,

1367
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: he was there, James Harden was there, and Chris Paul

1368
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 1: was there. Uh, mellow, it was crazy. Victor Ludipo. First

1369
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: play of the scrimmage, he catches it and usually at

1370
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: that point the players are a little tight. He caught it,

1371
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: ripped it, dunked. His head was like at the rim.

1372
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 1: He dunked it so hard I thought he broke the rim.

1373
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: And everyone was like, wow, this guy really goes and

1374
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 1: the whole scrimmage he he went like it was the

1375
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: NBA Championship. Who divv He's up. The team's me okay,

1376
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: how does that work? Uh? The night before, I figure

1377
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: out who's coming, and I'll just kind of diving one.

1378
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: I messed up one time when Kayson, when Katie and

1379
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: Ennis and Lebron were coming. You know, I really don't

1380
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 1: follow the media with all the whole like this guy

1381
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 1: doesn't get along with this guy type deal, and I

1382
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: didn't realize the whole Ennis and Hatie thing, and I

1383
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: put them on the same team. Um, and I guess

1384
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: after the fact, it was all of the media like

1385
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: why was People in the comments like okay, see fans

1386
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 1: like wait, why is Annison Katie on the same team,

1387
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh man, I need so I

1388
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 1: didn't think of it, but yeah, it's fun making the

1389
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: match the matchups, it really is. But but how do

1390
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: you do that? So you you're like Lebron James Kevin

1391
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: during the only these role alpha's, how are you walking

1392
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 1: up to them and saying you five verses five? And

1393
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: are they ever like no, funk that who the funk

1394
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: are you? I know you're running the gym, but like, no,

1395
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: we want like you. You're like literally was saying, okay, Oladipo,

1396
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: James Hard and Lebron, you guys are playing. Yes, so

1397
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I'll walk up to the out of it on my

1398
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: phone so they have my phone in my hand, and

1399
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: I walked up to each player, you know, five minutes

1400
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: before the thing I showed my phone is it is

1401
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: the team, no big all right, and no one ever

1402
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: has an issue except mellow. Mellow. I want this guy

1403
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 1: on my team. But all the other guys are like okay, okay,

1404
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 1: they just take my word work. It's tricky is when

1405
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: you have like the first ten, you have like eight

1406
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: like kind of like BA star type guys. Then you

1407
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: have like ten guys waiting other NBA guys. Yes, so

1408
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: when they lose, the NBA star never wants to come off.

1409
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 1: You're not gonna take Lebron James off. You're not gonna

1410
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 1: take James hard enough. You're not gonna take mellow off,

1411
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, because there's not like Nevin Booker, you can't

1412
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: do it. So then you have all these guys mad

1413
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: at me, like why do you subbing me in? It's

1414
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: like what do you want gonna do? Like, so it's

1415
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: like it's actually kind of stressful having to tell like

1416
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 1: a big NBA guy you need to come off for

1417
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: a rookie. So you know, a bunch of people are

1418
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: mad at me. I kind of just whatever and I

1419
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: figure it out. But that's kind of one of the

1420
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: stressful things. And when they play these games, what are

1421
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: the games up to? We played eleven straight ones and

1422
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: twos in it's you have to win by two. You

1423
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 1: have to win by two first one to win five games,

1424
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: and that's that's that's the day, the first team to

1425
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: win five games? Okay, And what was the most like

1426
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: it looked like a fucking All Star game. There was

1427
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: one one game. What was the one where you're like,

1428
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe, like this is my life and I'm

1429
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: like a part of it. Probably the Lebron Katie game

1430
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: Lebron Katie and Melow. That was and is surreal to

1431
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: see Lebron like doing this stuff he was doing, he

1432
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: he he was playing just like he was playing in

1433
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 1: like a regular game. It was nuts. I think another

1434
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: big moment was when the whole trade talks was going

1435
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: on and Mellow didn't know where he was gonna go.

1436
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: And then CP just signed with the Rockets, so it

1437
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: was James and CP and I put Mellow on that

1438
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: team to see how they played together. That was kind

1439
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 1: of fun. That's good. And and who is the biggest

1440
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: talkers in these games? That's a good question. The biggest

1441
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: talkers Dante Jones. He's kind of known for that. The

1442
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: guy just never shuts up whross talks. You know, not

1443
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 1: many guys talk too much because it's sometimes guys are

1444
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 1: getto little beefs, but it's it's pretty They respect each

1445
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: other it's it gets really competitive. That's the one thing.

1446
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: You know, you read the media and they're like, oh,

1447
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: I wonder how hard they actually played, or they played

1448
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: hard because the end of the day, you're you're a

1449
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: basketball player and you don't want to be shown up

1450
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 1: by this other basketball player. So they played extremely hard.

1451
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: They really do. Okay, So what players, because you're working

1452
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 1: out with high school players are gonna start college? You're

1455
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: is Chris Brickley's college draft assessment? So what I do?

1456
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,519

01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna be doing this, you know, as long

1475
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 1: as my body is good on and do this for

1476
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: like ten years. I want to run the basketball training game.

1477
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: Who do you think is gonna be uh the rookie

1478
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 1: of the Year next year? That's a great question. I

1479
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 1: come with the goddamn great questions, Chris, who's the most

1480
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: impressive college player? Mo Bamba? He's gonna be the guy? Yeah, man,

1481
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,600
Speaker 1: He's It's It's ridiculous. He's like a mini Katie. He

1482
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: actually loves Katie. Big fan of Katie Um. He's so long,

1483
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 1: he's tall. I think his game's gonna translate better in

1484
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: the NBA. Who is gonna be the Kyle Kuzum of

1485
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: the draft. Who's the guy that no one's talking about

1486
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna drop low. And who's gonna be like the

1487
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: the guy who everyone's kicking kicking him first round pick right, yes,

1488
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: and he you know he's our I mean you look

1489
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 1: at this year. Ben Simmons to me doesn't count as

1490
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:52,759
Speaker 1: rookie the year. I think it should be Donovan Mitchell.

1491
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's fair, no disrespect. I just

1492
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 1: think Ben Simmons is not a true blue a rookie.

1493
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: But with that being said that I mean Donovan's he's

1494
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: in the West Benson. I mean Donovan Mitchell would have

1495
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 1: to do something like fifty points a game, twenty rebounds

1496
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: a game. Tennessis to beat Ben Simmons because you were

1497
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: just like, Ben Simmons is gonna be Rookie of the Year.

1498
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: And then with with this year, with the Alonzo ball,

1499
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 1: the dearon Fox, no one was talking about Donovan Nobody,

1500
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: nobody was bringing up done. But if you came to

1501
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: the black Offs Runs, you would have seen people left

1502
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: those gyms like, Wow, this guy is different. Jr. And

1503
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Devin Booker and these guys would leave the gym and

1504
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: be like this kid something special. He would be playing

1505
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 1: against these high level NBA guys in the games to

1506
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: eleven some games he scored seven eight points and he

1507
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 1: didn't even play an NBA game, so we knew he

1508
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: was gonna be special. Um, okay, so who do you

1509
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 1: like think it's gonna be that that guy next year?

1510
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: That that that underdog guy, like not not necessarily Donovan,

1511
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 1: but more like a Kyle Kuzm, like totally forgotten about

1512
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: because you can't even predict the kind of stardom that

1513
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: Mitchell's had so far. Robley Aikins he played, he's out

1514
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 1: of Arizona. Uh, he's you know, second round pick. I

1515
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 1: think he can really shoot, he's really athletic. He's actually

1516
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn. I like him a lot. And then so

1517
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: how many Dielo he's kind of gotten pushed back to

1518
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: like late first round. But this kid is a freak athlete.

1519
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 1: It's like a forty Forens vertical. And I think he's

1520
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,640
Speaker 1: gonna be really good too. What is your assessment of

1521
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: Trey Young in terms of an NBA player. I think

1522
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be really good. We we we've talked a

1523
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: little bit. I guess the question is you know all

1524
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,599
Speaker 1: these Steph Curry? Did you know everyone compares him to Steph.

1525
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: It's not easy with Steph does um, you know, being

1526
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,679
Speaker 1: so skinny and small and you know he can really

1527
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:34,760
Speaker 1: shoot it though uh Um, I think he's gonna be good.

1528
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: I just don't know if he's gonna be Steph Curry.

1529
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean Steph Curry. That's like kind of at this

1530
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: point saying I'm not comparing them necessarily, that's like a

1531
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: Katie a Lebron James. That's a generational player. Sure, for sure.

1532
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: You know he makes it look so damn easy, and

1533
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 1: he's been making it look so damn easy for so long.

1534
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: And you know, there was this conversation the other day

1535
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,520
Speaker 1: out here, what do you think about this about influence

1536
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: not necessarily best, but like the influence on the game

1537
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: of today's game. Steph Curry. Lebron is a freak for sure. Okay,

1538
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: you're you're not gonna see a six ft nine, six

1539
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: ft eight freight train who can do everything he does,

1540
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: but like you're gonna see six ft three guys who

1541
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: think they could shoot like Steph Curry. That's common. He's

1542
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: changed the way like he has. His greatness is fucked

1543
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: up the NBA and fucked up high school and sucked

1544
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,679
Speaker 1: up like basketball because everyone thinks, well, I could shoot

1545
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: the ball from ruins youth basketball, Steph Curry. I always

1546
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: say this, Steph Curry ruins youth basketball. If we go

1547
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: to a park right now, it's ridiculous. The kids are

1548
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: shooting like NBA threes, jack and shot. It's like the

1549
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 1: worst thing you can do for your game. Um, Steph

1550
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Cary is a great player. But I think you that

1551
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna be Steph Curry And yeah, I

1552
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: don't think that's the case. Um, all right, what what

1553
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 1: is next for you? What do you want to do.

1554
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm trying to just pave a new lane from you know,

1555
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 1: being the first NBA trainer that that can really influence

1556
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 1: guys to really get in contracts. I want to get

1557
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: to a point where they're NBA g m s and

1558
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,600
Speaker 1: NBA scouts and he kind of started, but where they

1559
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,640
Speaker 1: come to me and they ask me, what you know,

1560
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: what do you think of this? What do you think

1561
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: of That actually happened a few times in this summer.

1562
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: I was going to say that, Yeah, there were guys

1563
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: that you know, they're kind of borderline guys. They come

1564
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: to a workout and I'd post the work on on

1565
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: my Instagram and the next day they get signed and

1566
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I actually like really have power. And

1567
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: it actually helped me because then guys that were trying

1568
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: to get contracts would reach out to me trying to

1569
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:27,640
Speaker 1: work out, hoping that I posted on Instagram, hoping that

1570
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 1: all these scouts would see it and hoping that they

1571
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 1: would get UM on a team. So that that one

1572
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: I want to do that. I want to be the

1573
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: first trainer that like this is powerful. Are you concerned

1574
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 1: about the politics of it? Because this is a business. Um,

1575
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, you're stepping on the toes of this team.

1576
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 1: Why are you working out with this guy? Uh? You

1577
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: know he said this, Why didn't you post that? Like

1578
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: you it's it is a new lane. But you know

1579
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: then you got like haters and then you got like, well,

1580
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: don't work out with it. You know, like I could

1581
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 1: do what he does fun Chris Brinkley's working out. He

1582
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: sat down. So and so what the thing is, it's

1583
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: like a concern like maintaining this so it stays pure

1584
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 1: developers business. But without I mean, I guess there's gonna

1585
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: be there's you're gonna deal with with what you're gonna

1586
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 1: deal with yeah, and just stay in authentic is the

1587
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: big thing. But I'm kind of over the whole Instagram

1588
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 1: hate thing at first. When you know, you gotta take it.

1589
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: Take it from me talking back to people, Take it

1590
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: from me, Take it from me, forget the Instagram mate,

1591
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Do not respond to leave it alone because sometimes it

1592
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: can get on you. Take it from me, you do.

1593
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: Do not respond. It doesn't work, there's no winning. I

1594
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: stopped doing it when I come to find out that people.

1595
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: Just one day, someone says something crazy to me. I responded.

1596
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: Then they d M me and said, thanks so much

1597
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: for responding. I'm like, well do you do that? So

1598
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: at that point I kind of stopped, you know, talking

1599
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 1: back to people. But yeah, that's just how it's gonna be.

1600
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, at the end of the day, I didn't

1601
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 1: I didn't invent the wheel. I'm not some crazy trainer

1602
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: doing drills and no one else does. So then people

1603
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: can look at me and say, what does he do

1604
01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 1: that's so special? And you know, I get that all

1605
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 1: the time. That's cool, take it, But I think it's

1606
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 1: deeper than just doing drills. I have relationships with these

1607
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: guys and they trust me, and uh, and you know,

1608
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 1: I have a resume of working with a bunch of

1609
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,600
Speaker 1: NBA All Stars and stuff like that. So I'm just

1610
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: kind of keeping my I'm just keeping that going. But

1611
01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: the authentic authenticity that never, like c J always tells me,

1612
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 1: he said, if you're good at what you do and

1613
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: you stay true to the players, and you're gonna keep

1614
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. All right, Now you're covered up here.

Speaker 1: You're a tattoo dude. Who's your go to tattoo artists? Um?

1617
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,120

1620
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 1: the tattoos? Um? And uh, when it will it stops?

1621
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 1: So I just I love art. I go to one

1622
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 1: guy in the Bronx. His names I am. His name's Rico.

1623
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: It's called in studios. Um. He actually does a good job.

1624
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: Ever since I've started getting tattoos from all these guys

1625
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: in the NBA, Like where did you get those tattoos from?

1626
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 1: And so now this guy has a clientele of like

1627
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 1: twenty NBA guys. When I first got my tattooed, my

1628
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 1: dad almost lost it. We made it kind of like

1629
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 1: a bet. When I got my first scholarship offer, I

1630
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: could get a tattoo. So Northeastern University offered me a

1631
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: full scholarship. So I got a basketball tattoo. And when

1632
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: I got to basketball tattoo, I remember I walked in.

1633
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 1: My dad saw it and then he just walked to

1634
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 1: the corner and put his head on the wall. He

1635
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,800
Speaker 1: was so sad and um so. And then throughout my

1636
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: next time, I was so I didn't want the Knicks

1637
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: to judge me. So I always wear long sleeves, and

1638
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, I was getting tattoos at the time. I

1639
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: was kind of hiding him. And then this summer I

1640
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: was kind of like blowing up a little bit, and

1641
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I'm just gonna be myself.

1642
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:36,640
Speaker 1: If you don't, like, did you go nuts with the

1643
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: tattoos or summer? No, No, it's no. I've I've had

1644
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: him for a while. Um, I've had my I've had

1645
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: both my arms for a while. And you now you're

1646
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: you're a fan. If you had to get an NBA

1647
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: player tattooed on. You could who would it be? A

1648
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: current NBA player and I couldn't do You had to

1652
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:02,960

1653
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: to watch basketball as a fan anymore? No? You're not.

1654
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:08,600
Speaker 1: When you're watching a game, what are you watching? I

1655
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: actually hate watching games of guys I trained. I hate it, Um,

1656
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: I get nervous. I just don't like it. So I

1657
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: go to a game of a guy workout, I care

1658
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,639
Speaker 1: genuinely so much about the player that I just don't

1659
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: want to see him mess up. So I actually don't

1660
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: watch a lot of live games just because it's too

1661
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 1: like nerve wracking for me. Like if I'm like with

1662
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 1: the girl watching the game, sugar, like why are you talking?

1663
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? And I don't want to be

Speaker 1: the Cavaliers could be beaten on the way to the finals?

1670
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:48,800
