Speaker 6: A lot of other things too, but you know what

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 6: I mean, So just just finding a way to make

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 6: money out out of what I like doing, you know

44
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,919

45
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 6: as I'm making in the NBA, but you know what

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 6: I mean, if I'm making you know a cumultum of

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 6: money and it makes sense to something I like doing,

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 6: which is considered a hobby, and it's like why not,

49
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 6: you know what I mean? So just finding ways and

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 6: as I get older, to figure out what I like

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 6: doing and figuring out how to make money off of it.

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 6: So but then as an athlete, you know, opportunities to

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 6: come my way to where you know, you invest in,

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 6: you group the benefits of the return.

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,760

78
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 6: up to people to where you know, you never know

Speaker 6: when you know somebody can you do a favor?

80
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 5: So uh, that was the kind of example.

81
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 7: That you've been into a couple of unique positions throughout

82
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 7: your career. Obviously in Philly or Mike Rubin, we obviously

83
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 7: you know, could see a relationship with him, but.

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Now in La back home see Obama.

85
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 7: That's the only of the clip is how much has

86
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 7: the influence of that older ship been on you? Because

87
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 7: obviously David mass a fortune in business. How much is

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 7: your relationship as the player slash employee now looking at

89
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 7: it from an ulner standpoint, like you're getting ideas from

90
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 7: them and using them for.

91
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: Guidance in the world of business.

92
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 6: It's like it's a balance of like being like the player,

93
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 6: James will always be me like I'm gonna be on

94
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 6: the court, locked in, focused. But it's like a balance

95
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: of not trying to be like yo, like trying to

96
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 6: be like like buddy, buddy, and.

97
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

98
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 6: Like, but then it's like not having no pride and

99
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 6: be like listen, how you how you make this or

100
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 6: what you do here in this situation?

101
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

102
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 6: So I've randomly met Mike Rubin, like in Bahamas at

103
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 6: a blackjack table outside he was playing cards and he's like, yo,

104
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 6: I'm you know, I'm like, I'm watching.

105
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like the.

106
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 6: Gamble a little bit too, and I don't like people

107
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 6: looking over my shoulder when I'm gambling, but I was

108
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 6: doing it and he kept looking back next to meet you,

109
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 6: like I'm Mike Group and I'm, you know, one of

110
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 6: the owners of the Sixers, and I'm like, next to

111
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 6: meet you. I think he's out there for like his

112
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 6: daughter birthday or so. Anyways, so he ended up like

113
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 6: leaving and then we were just locked in from there.

114
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 6: But just any time I got an opportunity or or

115
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 6: a question like just reaching out to him, and I

116
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 6: haven't got that relative that far with with Steve yet Barber.

117
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 6: But that's like you know, my my my focus is

118
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 6: to kind of like pick his brain and understand, you know,

119
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 6: his mindset every single day because you know it don't hurt.

120
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 6: And guys like that or are courteous and they want

121
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 6: to give off information, you know what I mean. And

122
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 6: people don't have the opportunity. So I feel like I

123
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 6: got to take advantage of you.

124
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 7: Notice that the higher they're up and more successful are

125
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 7: all them, the more they want to tell I want

126
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 7: at this point of your career, obviously as a season

127
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 7: veat when you're coming up as a young player, there's

128
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 7: guys that are giving you advice. Obviously we sow the

129
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 7: body on the situation. Cole, I'm sure how you know exactly?

130
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 7: So as the veteran, now are you looking at the

131
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 7: young guys the bones hollers of the other world, like

132
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 7: help your fellows, I could, this is the advice I

133
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 7: can give you.

134
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: And how receptive are the younger guys to businessmen?

135
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 6: Just I don't really like I'm be to myself a lot,

136
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 6: Like I talked to my teammates and you know, somebody

137
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 6: like the Terrence man who's invested in and.

138
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 5: Recover on eighty and he got a couple other things

139
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 5: that he's done.

140
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 6: But you know, if they asked me, or if I

141
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 6: see opportunity for somebody, I'll definitely say something. And even

142
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 6: somebody like uh checked the Center for the thunder. Uh

143
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 6: Me's thinking about you know, investments in water as well.

144
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 6: But it's an opportunity. Like Cold basically was like, yeah,

145
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 6: we're gonna put a stash of like five million dollars

146
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 6: and then any like business opportunities. It might be a

147
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 6: little two hundred thousand, it might be you know, five

148
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 6: hundred thousand, just depending on what you know, what an

149
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 6: investment it is. But we're gonna put a pot together.

150
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 6: We just gonna you know, invest our money. Rest in

151
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 6: peace before he passed away. But Body Armor was was

152
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: was the beginning of that, and we you know, we've

153
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 6: seen how it is. We built the whole business up

154
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 6: and it took eight to ten years, you know what

155
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 6: I mean, and then you know, look what it's done.

156
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: So you knows, as you know, sixteen years on Sweet sixteen,

157
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 6: going into the league, I just try to, you know,

158
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 6: give the guys as much opportunity and game as they want.

159
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 6: But I'm not going to force it on them because

160
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 6: you know nowadays these young dudes is kind of crazy.

161
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 6: Wow a little bit, and I don't got time for that.

162
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 6: I stay in my own little lane.

163
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: You know.

164
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: I always wondered, like, you made I think over three

165
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars in your career on the court, not

166
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: including endorsement tales. You play for Texas teams in Texas Houston,

167
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: there's no state income tax right now. You play in

168
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: n LA, which has the highest state income tax. Do

169
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: you think about that?

170
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I was in New York.

171
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 6: Yes, be thinking like damn, don't want to go there, Like, yeah,

172
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 6: that's that's But then you're like, all right, cool, it's

173
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 6: a business opportunity because you know, New York and La

174
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 6: are bicker markets. Come on now, So you got an

175
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 6: opportunity to make a lot of money, meet a lot

176
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 6: of people that you wouldn't be able to meet, and

177
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 6: no disrespect like Oklahoma or.

178
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

179
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 6: So it's just it's a give and take. So when

180
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 6: you're there, you got to really lock in and focus.

181
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 6: My time in New York wasn't the greatest just because

182
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 6: it's not basketball, but you know, basketball is a.

183
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: Part of it. But it was you know, it was COVID.

184
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 6: So I didn't really get the opportunity to run across

185
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 6: the people that I really needed to run across, you

186
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 6: know what I mean. Because once I get in your

187
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 6: face and you hear me, and just like I'm a corner,

188
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 6: you in you know what I mean.

189
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: Not in a bad way, but just that's that's my personality.

190
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 5: So I didn't. I didn't.

191
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 6: I didn't feel like my New York time was a success,

192
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 6: you know, as much as I wanted it to be

193
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 6: so here back at home in l I feel like

194
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 6: I need to kind of double that up.

195
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

196
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 7: So at the end of this deal, but you're in now,

197
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 7: I think the total would be four hundred for fifteen

198
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 7: million in contracts.

199
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: Have some good camera yeah, yeah, we know what to

200
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: do with the counter too. Uh, that's just on the court.

201
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 7: We take the Yadida thirteen year deal two hundred million,

202
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 7: not over half a billion. Once about the expansion of

203
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 7: the brand right as on the court is one thing.

204
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 7: But I've seen you do it, and I've seen a

205
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 7: couple of other guys. Do I remember when de Rose

206
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 7: had the Adida deal. We have to go to China.

207
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 7: I so you recently just came back. Talk about the

208
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 7: difference in the reception when you're over there, because when

209
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 7: I see you go, I'm like, this guy's a.

210
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: She is like to talk about that.

211
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 7: I mean, because a lot of young colors and they

212
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 7: don't understand the global economy. Obviously you're doing it and

213
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 7: deed understands it very well and talk about why they

214
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 7: do it and the influence.

215
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 6: Over there, it's a different like ball game, it's like

216
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 6: a movie over there, like they really embrace and cherish like.

217
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 5: Stars. I feel like here in America, we don't, like.

218
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 6: You walk past and see I don't know, somebody, I

219
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 6: would think that's famous, and people just walk like it's nothing,

220
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. But over there, it's like

221
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 6: they didn't they cherish you like they like, you know,

222
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 6: because they don't really the opportunity to see people like that,

223
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

224
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 5: And I feel like we take we take things like.

225
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 6: That for granted, like we call people that's fa or

226
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 6: think that they're famous just because we see them on

227
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 6: TV or they got a million follows on Instagram that

228
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 6: they're not famous, but like real famous people that we

229
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 6: know that we you know, as celebrities, they cherish people

230
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 6: like that, So I think just giving my time to

231
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 6: them and expressing how much I appreciate them and the

232
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 6: love and support that they got for me, it's very,

233
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 6: very valuable. So like you know, once people go over

234
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 6: there and they see the love that they got, especially

235
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 6: for athletes and specific athletes, it's like, you know, your

236
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 6: whole monster changed. So for me, I think I just

237
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 6: taking advantage of Adidas and you know, my wine and

238
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 6: giving the people something to kind of like lash on

239
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 6: to me.

240
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: How you feel about the state of the NBA as

241
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: far as money, because Mark Cuban recently said, like, you know,

242
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars a year, that's where it's had

243
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: it a billion dollar contracts, like you know, to the

244
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: point where people, he said, players are going to start

245
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: making more money than him as an owner a year.

246
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 5: That's like I said. He said that.

247
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can say what you're going to say, impossible

248
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: said anything you're not buying that it's too expensive. Uh,

249
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban, Yeah, he said that, he said, he said.

250
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: He said, it's getting to a point where eventually a

251
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: player is gonna make a hundred million dollars a year

252
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: just from playing basketball At that point, they would make

253
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: more money a year then he's making and he's.

254
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: Not making an I don't believe that.

255
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 5: But whatever anywhay is.

256
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 6: Like, it's it's I'm first of all, like I'm not

257
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 6: the old head, naive player that I want to see

258
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 6: all the young guys that deserve and want to take

259
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 6: get their family out there.

260
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: I want them to make a hundred million a year.

261
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: I want everybody to get money.

262
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 6: But that's when we got to really implement like the

263
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 6: financial literacy part of it to where they're just not

264
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 6: out here just doing anything with the money and they like,

265
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 6: you know, making sure that that the money is going

266
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 6: ready to go. You're still going to ball, You're still

267
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 6: gonna have your phone, but like sending yourself up for

268
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 6: generational wealth and making sure is on the right way

269
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 6: because basketball is the biggest sport in the world and

270
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 6: it's just going to continue to grow global and global

271
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 6: and get bigger and bigger, so you can't control it.

272
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 6: Money gonna keep getting longer. So I mean for us,

273
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 6: I think it's just finding ways and make sure the

274
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 6: players is doing the right things with money.

275
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 5: What is that?

276
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 3: What is the steps to that? Because we have a

277
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 3: hard stories a lot. Is it a financial advisor?

278
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 5: I mean, of course.

279
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 6: I mean when you're making that much money, supports to

280
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 6: ask somebody, you know, watching the money and investing and

281
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 6: strategically investing.

282
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 5: And just doing the right things like everybody else is.

283
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 6: I mean, everybody is different for they how they want to,

284
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 6: you know, invest their money and do with their money.

285
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 6: But as long as you're doing something and making your

286
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 6: money double, then you know, that's all I can That's

287
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 6: all I can.

288
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 7: With Coming in a position that you're in the power

289
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 7: of no is something that is realistic, right, I mean,

290
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 7: people are documing your salaries, documented, people understand how much

291
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 7: you're making.

292
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: How difficult or how challenging is it to.

293
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 7: Distinguished between you know what I can help you or Nah,

294
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 7: this is now charity. No, we have to get it

295
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 7: on your own, or I can give you a sentence

296
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 7: or a resource that has nothing to do with financial tangibles,

297
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 7: but actually networking with somebody, Like how has that been

298
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 7: for you throughout your career?

299
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 5: You're talking about like we're family or just.

300
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 6: People family family specifically, they still struggle with it, Like

301
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 6: that's gonna be a constant struggle because some days I'll

302
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,360

Speaker 6: got houses and car like they you know, they're good.

306

Speaker 5: But then it's like what do you need it for?

307
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,200

Speaker 6: help you or I'm gonna put you in a position.

309

Speaker 5: But if it's just something that you see or that you.

313
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 6: Just want, none for you unless you might catch me

314
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 6: on a good day where I might it's like I'm

315
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 6: getting older and I you know, I don't got time

316
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: for no more. Like I'm gonna.

317
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna.

318
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: I'm in a whole different headspace.

319
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 6: And now it's like I don't know how many years

320
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 6: I got left in the NBA, but like my business

321
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 6: savvy mindset got to take over to where you know,

322
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 6: I gotta, I gotta I think like you know, Steve

323
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 6: Barmber and Mike Rubin and my other mentors and guys

324
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 6: that I look up to so and they're not doing that.

325
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 5: So you know what I mean, how you think they

326
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 5: got to where they at.

327
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: So so what Adida is Obviously you've been with them

328
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: for a long time, but I heard that you actually

329
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: you're part of the creative process as well. Right, we'll

330
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: talk about your relationship, what the data is over the years,

331
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: and and how you've been able to kind of add

332
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: you get input on it.

333
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 5: We've we've we've created some really really uh.

334
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 6: Game changing shoes and yeah eight and like the whole

335
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 6: like it's son owning. How many pairs of sneakers have

336
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 6: been created, like millions, So it's a hard process to

337
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 6: kind of figure out which lane we want to go to.

338
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 6: But I think for me just creating that that fashion

339
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 6: side of me with the basketball sneaker and combined it

340
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 6: like most NBA players just make a rough ash like

341
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 6: basketball shoe, you know what I mean, my own mind

342
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 6: to be fly to where you on we channel like

343
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 6: this or we in a vibe, we had dinner, we

344
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 6: can rock my sneaks, you know what I mean, and

345
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 6: then go get somebody forty on the court. And that's

346
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 6: the kind of balance that I've been trying to create

347
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 6: for these shoes. And most of the time when you

348
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 6: see like guys like my age fifteen sixteen.

349
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 5: On the decline, whatever you want to call it.

350
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 6: They sneakers drop, they you know, they go down, but

351
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 6: mine's just you know, going up still. And it's a

352
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 6: blessing because I mean, we're doing something right. And you know,

353
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 6: it's been it's been a little rocky, and we had

354
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 6: some internal things going on with Adidas that were pub

355
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 6: but now I think we found our groove and we're

356
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 6: in a good space to where we're gonna continue to keep.

357
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: Out because a lot of times, it's like record labels.

358
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: A lot of times people get disgruntled with this shoe company,

359
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: then they go to Twitter, then they air.

360
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 5: Them out, and I'm not doing none of that.

361
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: So how you've been able to manage differences and like

362
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: and keep a good relationship.

363
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 5: Cursing people out on the phone and making sure we

364
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 5: get it right, Like I'm going on Twitter? What are

365
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 5: we doing?

366
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 6: You know, I don't really You never gonna see me

367
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 6: have a rant on Twitter or Instagram like ever ever. Ever,

368
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 6: that's not for whoever. That's not that's for whoever to me.

369
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 6: And you got a problem, I'm calling you. I ain't

370
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 6: going to Twitter talking about you know what I mean?

371
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 6: So just having that constant communication and trying to figure

372
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 6: out and everything ain't always be perfect, you know, in

373
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 6: any business. But you know the more you push and

374
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 6: try to get it right and and figure things out

375
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 6: to where it's beneficial for everybody, and everybody can you know,

376
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 6: get on the same page and good things that happened.

377
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's where we're at. How much influence?

378
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 7: I know you one of those guys that got the

379
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 7: lifetime deal, right, Not many guys get those type of deals.

380
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 7: I could probably count, not yet I think you, well,

381
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 7: twelve thirteen, not the lifetime, but.

382
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 5: Thirteen thirty times. That's what we're working on. I'm speaking.

383
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. So what influence?

384
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 7: Because because when I think of basketball and I think

385
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 7: of shoe companies, it also becomes a family.

386
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: The guys from that other brand they stick together. The

387
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: guys that are data are together.

388
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 7: How much influence do you have in getting those guys

389
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 7: over so when it's when it's Donovan Mitchell, or it's

390
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 7: Dame or now with Aunt, how much influence you like?

391
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 7: You know, we got something building over here, right like

392
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 7: your shoe drops This one I thought was crazy. Ants

393
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 7: drops both for them in contential for Sneaker of the Year.

394
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 7: What's your role in the influence of getting those guys

395
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 7: over there, and then the creative poss of saying like

396
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 7: that shit was dope as the eldert, as the statesman

397
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 7: now like a hoops.

398
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean, honestly, my art got to be better,

399
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 6: and I can be in a sense of like you know,

400
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 6: getting guys in rally, but like we're in the in

401
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 6: the in the in the process of like figuring out

402
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 6: our team, you know, because internal things going on. But

403
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 6: like once we figure that out, like like you said,

404
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 6: is killing it right now, like on and off the

405
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 6: court with a sneaker. You know, Don is doing this thing.

406
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 6: You know d Rose, he just he just retired, but

407
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 6: he was doing his thing and then obviously Dame, but

408
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 6: just just finding ways, man, like the other brand is

409
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 6: has been that the brand for a very very very

410
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 6: long time. So trying to find ways to compete and

411
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 6: and and and keep building and make it some competitive

412
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 6: to where you know, like they y'all see us too,

413
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 6: and to bring that personality out on on and off

414
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 6: the court. For the sneaker, it's it's a it's a

415
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: tough it's a tough battle. But you know, I think

416
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 6: I've been trying to, like, you know, push that needle

417
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 6: and force it. And we got a long way to go.

418
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 6: But it as long as guys like man keep doing

419
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 6: this thing and then the next generation of guys and

420
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 6: younger guys come up, Uh, you know, we would be

421
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 6: in a good hands ship.

422
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: It's definitely happened. You started to see they just fired

423
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: their CEO.

424
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 7: But you can start to see the league is changing,

425
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 7: right even like a guy like Kawhi, he's not with

426
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 7: either of those two brands.

427
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: The guys that even somebody like you know, Kyrie or.

428
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 7: Exactly got his own. Jayleen just got his own. Joel's

429
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 7: sund with sketches. I just saw a Cooper flag the nets.

430
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 7: Next guy he's with a different brand.

431
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: How do you feel about like, let's talk about Jayleen

432
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 3: bron specific. I think he turned down fifty million from

433
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 3: somebody it used to be with y'all. No, he was

434
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 3: never to do this, No, I don't think so. But anyway,

435
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: he started what he was I'm sure he was.

436
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: He started it on.

437
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 3: He started his own company, his own sneaker brand. What's

438
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: your thoughts on guys doing that? Because it's happening a

439
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: lot now, like with Kyrie him. Now you got like

440
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: superstar players that hadn't really happened before shots never happen,

441
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 3: had it?

442
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 7: But was respect the shot shot span away for this

443
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, staph had at the strawberries.

444
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 5: No, yeah, that stuff.

445
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, man, that's my god that I

00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: got the seris man, was it was moment fifteen dollars kicks.

447
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, we knew what it was for, like.

448
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 8: Community give back, but I'm just saying it that it's crazy.

449
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 8: I'm saying like that was was it was community give

450
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 8: back in fifteen dollars. He was hooping in the shooting

451
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 8: the community.

452
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying it was. It meant to rival Jordan's brand

453
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: nothing but no, I mean it was an affordable shot

454
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: for the say that for sure.

455
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 3: But how you feel about guys like stop stop, how

456
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: you felt about star players going like going out on

457
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: It's a lot of work, man, it's a lot of work.

458
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 5: It's a lot of work.

459
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 6: You got to get like the right team and like

460
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 6: I haven't heard about uh, you know, Jayleen having his

00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 6: own shoes and you know, congrats to him and all that, but.

462
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 5: It's a lot of work, and the shoe gotta be functional,

463
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 5: like you know what I mean.

464
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: You got to really make the right team together and

465
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 6: have a shoe that you could still be the same

466
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,479

559
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 5: a long time.

560
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: How is that influence kind of pushed you in this No?

561
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

562
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 6: Like it looked like as just being around those guys,

563
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 6: they're very very intelligent, especially you guys like you know,

564
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 6: like you said, Mellow and mav and you know Chris

565
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,560

Speaker 6: you know that whole group is is is you know,

567
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 6: very very very intelligent. But the opportunity came to me,

568
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 6: and I'm just like, I don't really you know, I

569
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 6: don't really drink one like that, you know what I mean.

570
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 6: And long story short, I'm just I'm in all the

571
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 6: processes though, from the fruits and the bottle, the label,

572
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 6: the what is it going to look like?

573
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 5: Is it too much?

574
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 6: Or should we be like calm? And and I'm like

575
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 6: what am I doing? Like I'm in a like this

576
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 6: is a real thing. And then I'm like, let's do it.

577
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 6: Just because I'm getting older, I can't be taking shots

578
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 6: crazy no more. Like I do it every once in

579
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 6: a while, but just after a game on the wine down,

580
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 6: just have a couple of glasses of wine and call

581
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 6: it a night. And then it's a new It's it's

582
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 6: an opportunity for me.

583
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 5: Let's just try it. And so, you know, it was

584
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 5: like three or four meetings tasted the wine, you know

585
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 5: what I mean. We had.

586
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 6: Examples of ten bottles of wine and all of them

587
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 6: are black and white. Basically, Like if you look at

588
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 6: the wine category, it's all black and white. So I'm like,

589
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 6: what are we gonna be disruptive in this in this business?

590
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

591
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 6: Or because I've seen guys you know d Wade had

592
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 6: his wine, Well he still got his wine. Uh, you

00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 6: got somebody like snow Dog got his wine. You know,

594
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 6: it's a lot of people have their wine. So like,

595
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 6: how can we be disruptive? Like I'm disruptive boom. You

596
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 6: look at the bottle, it just stands out. You put

597
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 6: ten bottles alongside of us, we stand out. And then

598
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 6: our price point is to where it's like it's for everybody,

599
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So just reading a lane

Speaker 6: for myself in the business to where you know, it's

601

00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 7: if not greater. We saw Koe was on that trajectory

781
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 7: right before ominic passion where it was now I'm getting

782
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 7: the oscars and the body on the deal. It was like, oh,

783
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 7: he's about to be out of here in business. Do

784
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 7: you see yourself in that same game?

785
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 5: A million percent? A million percent?

786
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: And basketball is giving me these opportunities.

787
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 6: So I got to make sure I'm on top of

788
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 6: that because you know, the higher I can keep going

789
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 6: until it's over. The more opportunities I know I'll be

790
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 6: able to get so and then I want to have

791
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 6: a Hall of Fame career after basketball as well. So

792
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 6: just the relationship, making sure the relationships isn't improper, I

793
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 6: mean in place to where once it's over, I'm like,

794
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 6: thank you, basketball, I appreciate you.

795
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 5: I love you so much.

796
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 6: Like it's time to get it on, you know what

797
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 6: I mean. And that's another thing where Kobe was. Kobe

798
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 6: was so happy with he like he wasn't trying to

799
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 6: like go back and play again. He was like, thank

800
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 6: you basketball, It's time to get the money off the court,

801
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. That's how I kind of

802
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 6: want to be, like I want to be done. I

803
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 6: appreciate you, and let's figure this this this off the

804
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 6: court thing out of this business, this business mind set

805
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 6: out because it's gonna be ten times harder than you

806
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 6: know it was playing basketball.

807
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 5: But I think I'm be prepared for when it's on.

808
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 3: How do you like you said, like, keep the main thing,

809
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: the main thing pretty much right like basketball is allowing

810
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 3: you to have all these opportunities, so you still got

811
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 3: to maintain your basketball for at least for the moment,

812
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 3: but also when you're making so much money, you got

813
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: so much relationships you I could assume that.

814
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: The passion might not be the same, right, So how

815
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: do you keep off basketball?

816
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 6: Yeah?

817
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: No, just in general though not even maybe not for you.

818
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this in general.

819
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: I'm sure that because there are players that now you've

820
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 3: seen players retire early, like they seem like they are

821
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: not as hungry.

822
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: I can't speak for them.

823
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 6: So for you, you still, I'm saying, for the most part,

824
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 6: how have you, know, like people's situation, how have you

825
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 6: been able to keep your hunger for twenty something years?

826
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: Because you played basketball even longer than you've been in

827
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: the league, So how you been able to stay hungry

828
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: for twenty five years playing basketball?

829
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 6: Through the grace of God? Like I haven't had like

830
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 6: a uh like surgery, you know what I mean? Like

831
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 6: heard like I've been heard like I've had a hamstring

832
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 6: pool And that was frustrated right there, because I love it.

833
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 6: Who I can only imagine somebody having a surgery and

834
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 6: multiple surgeries and like having to do rehab and get

835
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 6: back on the court. That's probably frustrat you. Like, man,

836
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 6: I'm done with this, like I don't want to do

837
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 6: this no more. I want to live life and be

838
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 6: with my kids, and you know, so it's that's probably

839
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 6: part of it.

840
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 5: Like but I don't know.

841
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 6: I can't speak for everybody. I just know for me,

842
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 6: I gotta, like, I gotta, I gotta finish this thing out.

843
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 1: Finish the stop. Was that mean winning championship?

844
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, finish winning championship, finish it out so I can't

845
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 6: play no more and then and then move on, like

846
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 6: you know, you only get one of these yeah, these.

847
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 5: Things called life, So you gotta just you figured out yourself.

848
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 3: Did ever bother you when people because like sports critics,

849
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 3: they have questioned you a desire on a certain level,

850
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 3: like playoffs, Like does that bother you?

851
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: When when people have critiques on that.

852
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 5: Not one bit? Like they just that's their job and

853
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 5: like we not like of course, like I work my

854
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 5: butt off every day.

855
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: You know, I was in a gym today and I'm

856
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 6: in a gym in the morning, like and you know,

857
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 6: when I got good games, they praisy. When you have

858
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 6: bad games, they talk about you. That's their job, you

859
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So I don't go out there

860
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 6: and expect or trying to miss the shots or trying

861
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 6: to turn the wall over, you know what I mean.

862
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 5: But when she's going good, it's, oh my god, he

863
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 5: looks like vintage, and it's like, man, I want to

864
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 5: hear it, like.

865
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I mean. So it's like

866
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 1: they gonna say some regardless whether you win or you losing.

867
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 6: So I'd rather just be in my own little bubble

868
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 6: and just you know what I mean, keep my keep

869
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 6: my vibe how it is, because when my vibe.

870
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 5: Is how it is, that's the best version of me.

871
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

872
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 7: I'm thinking vintage, which is wild. I remember, obviously we

873
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 7: watched you your hope. I'm thinking like that. I remember

874
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 7: the five at the NBA League passed the first Yeah

875
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,280

876
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 6: I'm like, when yay, yay, yay, yay, Houston, we got

877
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 6: a problem, yah yay.

878
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 7: I want to talk about something that most people don't

879
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 7: associate with you, and I think they should. Obviously, I

880
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 7: know what you mean to California, what you mean to

881
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 7: La get teammate Russ mean to the city. He just

882
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 7: announced the partnership in his school expansion. The philanthropics, philanthropic

883
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 7: side of what you guys are doing, yep, Impact thirteen

884
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 7: your foundations. Talk about that work because when we're talking

885
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 7: about off the court, Yeah, in business this is something,

886
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 7: but that's going to help the portfolio. What you're doing

887
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 7: on the philanthropic side is going to help the community,

888
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 7: help the younger generation coming up. Talk about that because

889
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 7: I mean, if people are going to criticize on the court,

890
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 7: they should be praising that as well.

891
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 5: Facts they don't they don't really die, man. I don't

892
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 5: feel like they really care about it.

893
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 6: Like their job is to just say the negativity and

894
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 6: then just going about their day. But like real people

895
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 6: and we live real lives and we do real things.

896
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 6: Uh So for me, it's just like I got the

897
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 6: heart of the giant and just want to help people.

898
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 6: Like I'm from the hood for real, you know what

899
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 6: I mean. So just seeing that being back at home

900
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 6: and then being in Houston and being in that you know,

901
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 6: in that in that community for as long as I

902
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 6: was and still am, It's like I've seen so many

903
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 6: things I needed to be done, it still needs to

904
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 6: be done. And then you got yearly a year after

905
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 6: year after year, Hurricane come so people houses getting tarnished,

906
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 6: and people just you know, don't have no food, no lights,

907
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 6: no nothing, you know what I mean. So it's just

908
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 6: it's a constant battle that I'm continuing and still will

909
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 6: continue to fight. But just helping kids get to school,

910
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 6: refurbishing courts.

911
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 5: Just like a lot.

912
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 6: It's like a lot of things that we do that

913
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 6: it don't have to be broadcasted and you know and

914
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 6: put on ESPN or you know, seeing then, but it

915
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 6: makes me feel good. It makes me feel how it

916
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 6: was supposed to because I know I'm doing my job

917
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 6: and I got a whole team that we created and

918
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 6: that that that goes out there every single day and

919
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 6: find ways to impact the world and the cities that

920
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 6: we are in. And then obviously, you know, as we

921
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 6: get bigger, we'll have a bigger stage, a bigger platform.

922
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 6: But that makes me happy, like that feels my my my,

923
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 6: my my heart a little bit, you know what I mean,

924
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 6: giving people and seeing people that that's that isn't as

925
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 6: fortunate or isn't able to do things that not even

926
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 6: I'm doing, but just living, you know what I mean,

927
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 6: Like just driving driving down and Long Beach yesterday and

928
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 6: just driving in the hood and driving through Compton and

929
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 6: I'm seeing housing and people just I'm like, I got

930
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 6: to find a way to help people still, you know

931
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 6: what I mean, Like you just don't.

932
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: It's it's it's that side.

933
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 6: But it's like, all right, you get lost a little

934
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,600

1028
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,839

00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 7: have come and gone, You've got to replace people, or

1030

1031
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,600

1034
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 7: own right.

1035
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: Or was it at you talking about homies or what

1036
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: you talking about?

1037
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 6: I'm just in general, like, who is your team and

1038
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 6: has it? Has it changed and evolved throughout your career?

1039
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 6: Team has definitely changed? You know along the way everybody

1040
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 6: can't make it.

1041
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Everybody can't make it.

1042
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 6: As a fact, as you get older, you grow you

1043
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 6: you started to like be more mature about what you

1044
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 6: like and confident in what you like and what you

1045
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 6: need around you. And it's like people that was with

1046
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 6: me when I was in middle school that I thought

1047
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 6: it was gonna be with me forever. I ain't here

1048
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,959
Speaker 6: no more, you know what I mean. And it's cool,

1049
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 6: like I wish all the best. I'm gonna go my way,

1050
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 6: y'all go your way. And you hear stories like that,

1051
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 6: you know, whether it's you know, when I first got

1052
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 6: in the league, like we're such and such a where

1053
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 6: and it's like now it's actually happened to me, you

1054
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 6: know what I mean?

1055
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 5: So uh, no bad blood, it is what it is.

1056
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 5: And every I feel like everybody goes through that, you

1057
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 5: know what I mean.

1058
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 6: Everybody got their day ones when they get drafted and

1059
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 6: popping bottles and all that, and then four years, five

1060
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 6: years later or whenever that happens, they're not there no more.

1061
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 6: And you know, for some it's worse than others. For mine,

1062
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 6: it wasn't, you know what I mean. It's just you know,

1063
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 6: we grow apart. So I think the team that I

1064
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 6: that I have now is is efficient and uh and

1065
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 6: got a purpose. And that's that's very important because that's

1066
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 6: how that's how I like, I played by it like

1067
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 6: on and off the court. So you know, you got

1068
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 6: you got your your your foundation. Polaro does a really

1069
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,880

00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 5: And then there's a lot of other people in my campus.

1072
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 6: Well, but just people that you know, everybody's got a role,

1073
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 6: got a position in the job to play, and you know,

1074
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 6: if you're not doing your job, then you will get

1075
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 6: on the bench or you will get cut.

1076
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 3: Did you see what Jayo Smith said a while ago

1077
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 3: about players not working together?

1078
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 5: Noice?

00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 3: you know, everybody, they always go to UCLA gym to

1081
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 3: work out stuff like that. He was like he just

1082
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,480

1083
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: players that make it from California.

1084
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: He was like, why they don't have their own gym.

1085
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: Then it was led to a whole conversation.

1086
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 6: Got this there, Yeah, it led to the whole conversation

1087
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 6: of like, yo, while we're not working together, while we

1088
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 6: don't pull our money together more and do things.

1089
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: That was his take. That was his opinion.

1090
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 5: Where did they come from, though, Like what was the

1091
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 5: backstory on that?

1092
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1093
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the question that prompted that was,

1094
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 3: but that was the thing he was just saying, like

1095
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 3: how he thought a lot of guys in the leagues

1096
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 3: were selfish pretty much, and he was talking about his

1097
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: own personal experience and he was just like y'all was

1098
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 3: going to club, I was popping bottles, and that shit

1099
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 3: wasn't really about and looking back on it, I wish

1100
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 3: I would have did things definitely, And then he started

1101
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 3: going into a whole thing like we're trying to stunt

1102
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 3: on each other instead of working with each other. Like

1103
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 3: we're all trying to do individual things instead of trying

1104
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 3: to do things together. So what's your thoughts on that? Well,

1105
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 3: for now, it's over with.

1106
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 5: For that, people making way too much money to be

1107
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 5: even trying to come together for like, man.

1108
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: Like you can still work together as a billionaire, even

1109
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: billionaires work together a.

1110
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 6: Million percent, but that's they're billionaires for a reason, and

1111
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 6: they more they're much more mature and like they are

1112
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 6: saying this now as he's I don't know how, but

1113
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 6: he's he's a little older. When you're younger, you're not

1114
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 6: thinking about coming together and you know, creating something special

1115
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 6: or working together or you know what I mean, doing

1116
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 6: it Like people got their own People still trying to

1117
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 6: be established in their career, so they're not trying to

1118
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 6: team up and join up with somebody at a young

1119
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 6: age like that's the last thing on their mind. You

1120
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 6: could say that now when you're a little older and

1121
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 6: you kind of retired, and you're not even retired, but

1122
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 6: you're a little older and you.

1123
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 5: Kind of you're seeing it. But man, you young, you

1124
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 5: having fun with it. You getting money, you know, you.

1125
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: You experience in life.

1126
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 5: You're getting real money now. So I mean, it's a good.

1127
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 7: Thought that's over there, because as you're saying it, I'm

1128
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 7: thinking about that's off the court, but on the court,

1129
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 7: I'm thinking about that sounds like, okay, see when they

1130
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 7: have you Kevin, Russ, Serge and Russ young guys, if

1131
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 7: we stayed together, this league is ours.

1132
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 5: It was only like it was only for like four

1133
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 5: million dollars.

1134
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 7: To this is when I'm understand that it was only

1135
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 7: four They want you wanted something and they gave it

1136
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 7: to search exactly which it was playing four million dollars.

1137
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: But if we stay together, how good? How good could

1138
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: that team have? You take over the league?

1139
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 5: My my rookie year, it was ac We played the Lakers,

1140
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 5: that was the number one seed.

1141
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: Scared them, scared them for sure, scared them.

1142
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 5: We had okay, see cracking they wanted the championship.

1143
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: Lakers.

1144
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 6: My second year winn in Western Congresce finals against Dallas.

1145
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 6: They won a championship. My third year we in the

1146
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 6: finals against the Heat. That was bron first championship. They

1147
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 6: win a championship. That summer, we go to the Olympics.

1148
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 6: We win the gold medal. My fourth year is on.

1149
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 5: Summertime, traded like right, like a cover day, like a

1150
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 5: couple of days for the first game is to.

1151
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 3: All, So, how good do you think that team in

1152
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 3: the history of Hypothetically y'all would have stayed together chips

1153
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 3: at least at the middum, at least two chips, you.

1154
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: Think you would have you would have developed into the

1155
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: player that you are.

1156
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 5: Probably not mhm.

1157
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to say because it was like I was

1158
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: always because you was a sixth man.

1159
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I was going to have it eventually start

1160
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 6: starting because it was like you know, it was it

1161
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 6: was cracking, like the sacrifice of the team, and it

1162
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 6: made us as a team, it made us better. But

1163
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 6: I was going to have to eventually start starting, like

1164
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 6: my swag was getting there to my fourth year, I'm

1165
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 6: not to noum like I'm not six already got that,

1166
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 6: but he was over four million dollars. But it was

1167
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 6: a blessing though, because coming off the finals, which I

1168
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 6: didn't play well, you know what I mean, and then Olympics,

1169
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 6: opportunity to be around all these vets.

1170
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 5: I go with my first in Houston go yeah.

1171
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were crazy. I remember.

1172
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 7: I think there's a moment where KD is talking you

1173
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 7: and President and they're like, we'll be back, yep. Rust

1174
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 7: hasn't made it back. You haven't made it back yet,

1175
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 7: ye thinking about that four million dollars. Obviously, your your

1176
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 7: career has been incredible. Hall of Fame regardless, does the

1177
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 7: championship not being part of the resume, does it weigh

1178
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 7: on you a little bit at all?

1179
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 5: Like I'm still gonna try to get away rights I

1180
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 5: will go, yeah, but like what I'm gonna do?

1181
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like I had opportunities and it just didn't work out,

1182
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,919
Speaker 6: whether it's you know, the injuries or like the first

1183
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 6: couple of years in Houston are we just wasn't good enough,

1184
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like we was making the playoffs,

1185
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 6: barely making the playoffs. Then we had two three years

1186
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 6: when we had a chance. You know, CP gets hurt.

1187
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 6: But then again I'm going against a real dynasty, like

1188
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 6: the words then they act Kevin Durant and like up

1189
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 6: in that series three two, you know what I mean.

1190
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 6: I'm going to get a real dynasty head up, you

1191
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 6: know what I mean. And then it's all right, cool, Well,

1192
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 6: maybe let me just try to you know, put my

1193
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 6: pride to well not even pride. Let me just try

1194
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 6: to sacrifice the money, the individual act all that. Let

1195
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 6: me just try to sacrifice and switch it up a

1196
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 6: little bit and hopefully that work in my favorite and.

1197
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 5: It's just trying to you know, win the championship. So

1198
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 5: that's when the Brooklyn situation happened. That was tricky.

1199
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 6: We had an opportunity, and then the Philly situation to

1200
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 6: where it's like the same thing.

1201
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 5: Let me just be a playmaker, switch up my role.

1202
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: That shit worked, like.

1203
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 6: You feel me, Like, I sacrifice money, I sacrifice being

1204
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 6: the top score that I am. I still am and

1205
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 6: will be. Just as long story short, is for nothing,

1206
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. I lost a lot of

1207
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 6: money and I lost a lot of swaggering on the

1208
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 6: court just from sacrificing thinking that all that's gonna give

1209
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 6: me to win a championships. That's what No, if I

1210
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 6: win one, I win one, which I'm gonna try. I

1211
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 6: work my butt off every day to win one, but

1212
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 6: that's not gonna like. You know, I know how good

1213
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 6: I am, and I know how how much I'm a

1214
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 6: leader I am.

1215
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got plenty of arguments about how good you are.

1216
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of that top plenty, you know you're a

1217
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 3: unique player because your size people don't usually have. You

1218
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 3: have a very tricky handle. Fact, so I got you

1219
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 3: as one of the top five ball handlers of all

1220
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 3: time during my top five How do you how do

1221
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 3: you rate yourself as far as like top ball handlers

1222
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 3: and what's who's your top five ball handlers of all time?

1223
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're going to see you're trying to stir up something.

1224
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 6: You're trying to stir up something because it's like him,

1225
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 6: like obviously like Kai Kyrie, I don't he's that's like

1226
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 6: saying shooting like Steph like that other than Steph handle

1227
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 6: is crazy.

1228
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: It's tricky. So he's tricky, but it's crazy because he's

1229
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: still got to shoot the ball.

1230
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 6: Like we talked about crossover all that to pass, but

1231
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 6: we're talking about and actually getting the.

1232
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 5: Ball up in your your shot form and shooting the ball,

1233
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.

1234
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 1: So that's like elite right there.

1235
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 3: I'm Crawford jam he's up Isaiah Thomas. Okay, all right,

1236
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 3: I don't know is that in that conversation?

1237
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: No, I know what I'm like, what just handles, got handles,

1238
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 1: But he's not not in that conversation.

1239
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 6: He's not a yo yo. He don't have what you're

1240
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 6: gonna say, you not like you not. He has a move,

1241
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 6: but he got a move, but he talking about nothing

1242
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 6: like Game Killer though of course we know that. But yeah,

1243
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 6: it ain't really like you got you have real handles,

1244
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 6: like Cark. Never seen nothing like that before my life.

1245
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 6: We probably would never seen nothing like that before. And

1246
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 6: it's effortless. I don't think he's not even thinking.

1247
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: It's just he just he just you.

1248
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 5: You just in a way.

1249
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just.

1250
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 7: As your time to be in his way. My argument

1251
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 7: and I never get despite a three hour argument. I

1252
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 7: was saying that you are one of the most efficient

1253
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 7: scores of all time because you can do at multiple

1254
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 7: levels mid range three and three, right and under, and

1255
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 7: there's not many two guards, any guards that can do that.

1256
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 7: So I started thinking about placements in the history two guards. Right,

1257
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 7: this is like one of those conversations outside of Mike,

1258
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 7: what do you see in Soviet and Kobe? Where are

1259
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 7: you at in this conversation.

1260
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 5: You're talking about like you're talking about just accolades.

1261
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about gang Gang. Was it Dwayne Wade?

1262
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: The Wade that would be in the conversation?

1263
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 6: But Game, I got game, I got game. It's right

1264
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 6: after the way I got game the way more athletic

1265
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 6: than me, for sure. Yeah, the way had game of course,

1266
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 6: you know, but like he uses athleticism and whatever, I

1267
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 6: got gag.

1268
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 5: I just I don't know.

1269
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 6: So, but you them three I respect the most of

1270
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 6: like them three is like Kobe the way, Yeah for sure,

1271
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 6: Like I'm not mad at that. I was arguing that, Yeah,

1272
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 6: of course.

1273
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:51,959
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the state of basketball because

1274
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 3: a lot of people feel like the Europeans is starting

1275
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 3: to really take over because their system for the youth

1276
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 3: is based around fundamental skill work as opposed to the

1277
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 3: AAU circuit and playing one hundred games in the summer time.

1278
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts always.

1279
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 6: Been like that though, Like European players, not like have

1280
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 6: mastered the fundamentals of basketball, and that's why a lot

1281
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 6: of them are successful and then now you're looking at

1282
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 6: a lot more being successful in being very very very

1283
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 6: very good in the NBA, and I mean the way

1284
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 6: basketball and the players who are always gonna be more

1285
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 6: athletic and you know what I mean, but they gonna

1286
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 6: have fundamentals, you know what I mean.

1287
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 5: It's always been like that. It's always going to continue

1288
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 5: to be like that.

1289
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 6: You know, That's why the game is expanded at getting

1290
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 6: so much bigger because you got guys from you know,

1291
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 6: Serbia and and you know in Greece and in France

1292
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 6: and just all over there.

1293
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 5: So it's always gonna be like that.

1294
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 6: And I mean at this point, it's just however you

1295
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 6: can fit in the league, and however you can can

1296
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 6: figure your game out and figure it out like whether

1297
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 6: the usual athleticism where you're learn to shoot but your playmaker,

1298
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 6: whatever your game is.

1299
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 3: Just But do you think American basketball needs to change?

1300
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 3: Is on the ground, but it's never gonna Why would

1301
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 3: change it's been.

1302
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously coaches in America need to put emphasis

1303
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 6: on fundamentals because fundamentals is gonna get you, you know,

1304
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 6: further than just playing sporadic basketball.

1305
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 5: But I mean.

1306
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 6: Now like it's so much money being involved in it's

1307
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 6: now they're getting so much money from these coaches and

1308
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 6: players at a young age.

1309
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 5: That's what's scary about it. They're not they don't care

1310
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 5: about fundamentals. They see that money coming in.

1311
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 6: And you got a kid who can jump out the

1312
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,919
Speaker 6: gym and can shoot from half court, and they're gonna

1313
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 6: milk the kid all the way into he's done.

1314
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 5: But then they're gonna find another kid if they can't,

1315
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.

1316
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 6: So it's about the real coaches that's really teaching fundamentals

1317
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 6: of basketball in a real game to help kids develop

1318
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 6: and and hopefully you know, make some money at the

1319
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 6: at the end of their career or you know, for

1320
01:00:58,200 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 6: a long time in their career.

1321
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 7: When you watch the game now, I wanted, do you

1322
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 7: see your impact when I, like example, when I watched Luca,

1323
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 7: I'm looking.

1324
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 6: Like that's that's the don't want to talk about it.

1325
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 6: I don't think that step back that they want to start.

1326
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 6: When I kept doing that, they was like, he's traveling,

1327
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 6: Like he's traveling like you hear coaches, you hear like,

1328
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 6: but I'm like, you're tripping Like I watched film indeed,

1329
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 6: I got officials like really creating.

1330
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong.

1331
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 6: The step back has always been that move, bro, No,

1332
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 6: I'm not the double step, the double stats whatever that

1333
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 6: we never seen it before.

1334
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: That's yours. Double step back has always been in here.

1335
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: The double step. What you did from here to wait

1336
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: over there?

1337
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 6: You left somebody over there over anyways, Wesley Johnson still

1338
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 6: over there, don't do that's my name.

1339
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: Here's my coach.

1340
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 5: Last year.

1341
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: I feel bad, man. That was every day you look

1342
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: at them. That's my man. That's over there. You started

1343
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: stuff anyways.

1344
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 6: But like now, like you're favorite player, favorite player is

1345
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 6: doing the double step whatever, the double step back.

1346
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's a real thing. How would

1347
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: you be, kids, Like, how do you feel watching it?

1348
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you feel good?

1349
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 5: Kids?

1350
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: It's crazy, Like that's saying kids like eight years ago

1351
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: that it's crazy. They're teaching that. That's all right, that's impact.

1352
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: That's like tight to be you know what I mean.

1353
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: That's like the feeling you know what I mean up

1354
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,919
Speaker 1: and under two like they get all that fat.

1355
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, the foul thing that that became a move too,

1356
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 6: that became a thing that was doing that before me

1357
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 6: but I just and they change the.

1358
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: Rules because I had.

1359
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 6: You gotta figure it out, bro, you gotta figure a

1360
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 6: way to still be really good at basketball.

1361
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: Eleven points a game off the free throw.

1362
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 6: Stop me, don't complain about that's cheating. Stop following me.

1363
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 6: Put your hands back.

1364
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Right, be ready to play before we learn who right now,

1365
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: before we leave.

1366
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 3: It is one question in the actual in the business

1367
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 3: se Houston Dynamo, What's what's what's what's your involvement?

1368
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 1: What is what is that?

1369
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 6: Uh So it's an MLS team, the Houston Dynamo and

1370
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 6: the Houston Dash. MLS soccer, which is soccer is becoming

1371
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 6: bigger and bigger in America. I think the World Cup

1372
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 6: is coming to l A in a couple of years.

1373
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 6: But yeah, it was an opportunity. You know, I'm I

1374
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 6: still live in Houston by the way, also, but there

1375
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 6: was an opportunity where, you know, in a partnership and investment,

1376
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 6: you know, was was presented and I took advantage of it.

1377
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 6: And you know, it's doing really really well and you know,

1378
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 6: we we got a really good team. But I think

1379
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 6: the MLS league itself is growing, you know.

1380
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 5: What I mean?

1381
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 6: And obviously you see MESSI coming over here. So like

1382
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 6: the more, the more big names players that we can

1383
01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 6: get from Europe, because obviously Europe is since it is

1384
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 6: still the league.

1385
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, but we got to lead this growing.

1386
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 6: Like the development, like we talked about for basketball, the

1387
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 6: development that they have for MLS is really really you

1388
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 6: know cool too. You got your little kids, that's you know,

1389
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 6: training and it's it's a beautiful it's a beautiful thing.

1390
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 6: So hopefully, you know, in the next five, six, seven years,

1391
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 6: we'll see you know, MLS you know, be bigger and

1392
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 6: they'll be getting some you know, ESPN games and things

1393
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:26,520
