You know, 28 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: we're in this COVID nineteen pandemic and uh, it's it's 29 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: really changed life as we know it. How are you 30 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: and your family head living what you got going on 31 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: with that? I'm just chilling, man. I didn't went to 32 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: a little secluded spot, just be kicking and that's about it, 33 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: and just trying to stay away from things like they say, 34 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, but you know, I gotta go outside, I 35 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: gotta gotta do something.

You know what I'm saying. 37 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: But it's it's one of these things where they don't 38 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: know what's going really going on, so they want to 39 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: keep people away from people that's gonna be sick and 40 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: and have immune systems that can't take this stuff. So 41 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: that's what the problem is because we don't know really 42 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: what it is. So we gotta we gotta be safe, 43 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, safe with our our grandmothers or mothers who 44 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: are very ill.

I 70 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: used to go to every neighborhood and get down with people. Man, 71 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: and my daddy used to be right there talking ship 72 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: with me, and he used to back me up so 73 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: NICs couldn't get out and get really get down on me. 74 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: And then my brother was there too, so people was 75 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: really real mad at me because I can get down 76 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: and I can back it up, and I used to 77 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: kill him. So it used to be fun. And it 78 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: used to be fun to me, you know what I'm saying, 79 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: because I can do it and talk crazy. So when 80 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: I brought it to the league, they didn't know what 81 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: the hell to do with it, so I took it 82 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: to advantage and then I still start killing them and 83 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: it was fun to me, man, and she was hell 84 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: of fun just to basically, no, I can control somebody 85 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: with my mouthpiece and then affect him in the game. Hey, 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: people don't understand how hard that is to be able to. Okay, one, 87 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: you got a guard guarding you from taking the ball out, 88 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: You talking to him, telling him he ain't gonna take 89 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: the ball. The coach saying something to the player. Why 90 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: you while you driveling, you tell the coach to sit down. 91 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: One of the fans say something. You tell the fans. 92 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: You tell the fan, don't worrybody that I got this. 93 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: He hand check in. You're talking to get his hands 94 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: off me, ref, get his hands off me. Ref. Then 95 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: you're telling you. Then you're telling the players, say get 96 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: over there, get up, But I got this. You're backing 97 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: him down. People don't understand how hard that is control 98 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: the whole game. Only great players can control the whole 99 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: gage and neverhing at his finest. Yeah, And you know 100 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: why it was so cool because I had a coach 101 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: that I let me do whatever I wanted to and 102 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 1: Coach George call So you know, I used to always 103 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: call the plays that I think was more effective for 104 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: myself and then get my my teammates involved. So I 105 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: used to call the play called one up where I 106 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: get on the left side and it's just be one 107 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: to just be one. And when Kevin was really talking 108 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: about it, it was on that one side where I 109 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: turned my back and I bag them down, but I'm 110 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: talking to everybody at the same time, and then it's 111 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: the goal. If the player he tried to he tried 112 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: to come and try to steal that moment, I'm gonna 113 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: spend on his ass and he threw that, then he 114 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: gonna be all bad. So even though it was one 115 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: of them plays where nobody could defend it, and then 116 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: you know, the day they can zoom and our day, 117 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: you couldn't zone like that, so everybody had to be 118 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: spread it out and if I get by you and 119 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: somebody start running over, then I'm gonna pick you apart 120 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: because I'm gonna start giving the ball to everybody. And 121 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't like that like today's to day's game where 122 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: you can sit over in the zone and then you 123 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: can zone it up and then defend me and defend 124 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: everybody else. To speaking of today's game, how do you 125 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: feel like your game would fit in today's game? Today 126 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: is completely different from obviously when you played then when 127 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: Jack and I played, How do you feel like you 128 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: would do in today's game? You know what, Matt. Today's game, 129 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: it has changed a lot because it's more now that 130 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: the three point shot is the is the weapon. On 131 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: our day, we had the big man that was the weapon. 132 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: And what what happened is is they took the hand 133 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: checking away from that. Would they would have took the 134 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: hand checking away from me, it would have been hard 135 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: because you can't guard these dudes who can drill that 136 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: basketball can do the things that they do because it's 137 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: too hard to um to guard them. So I think 138 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: it would have been a little bit different. I would 139 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: have had adjust my game. But you know what, I 140 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: can't let him. I can't let him get me and 141 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: get me thirty and then I'll be happy with it, 142 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: or fifty and let me be happy with it. I'm 143 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: gonna have to get this as fifty back because I'm 144 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: gonna always asked my same way I saw him, and 145 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: make him be on the island too, because he put 146 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: me on the island. So they would have to whoever 147 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: go at me, the the hardness, the steps and all 148 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: of them dudes and all of them who go at me, 149 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go back at him. I would 150 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: just have to do one on one with them, and 151 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: we would just have to get fifty apiece. Beside, besides, 152 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: besides magic, besides magic, Johnson, you're one of those guards 153 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: that that posted up a lot. You kind of you'll 154 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: kind of started that. I think now if you was 155 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: in today's game, you abused that because they don't take 156 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: advantage of matchups like they used to, like we did. 157 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: I remember matter to when we played with Don we 158 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: played with Don Nelson, when we played against the Phoenix Suns. 159 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: Don Nelson told us, I don't care who shooting the ball, whoever, 160 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: Steve nash Garden go post up. He didn't care who 161 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: it was. You know what I'm saying. They don't. They 162 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: don't take advantage of mismatches. Now, you if you was 163 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: playing right now, lord, you'll be getting so many post 164 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: up lads will be ridiculous because I go at everyone 165 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: that couldn't the nephew. I go with everybody who couldn't 166 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: play defense, and which one, whatchever one of them that 167 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: couldn't play defense.

I was like naw. He was like, man, 335 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: O ge, man, you better look into that man. So 336 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: when he when he told me, I went and got 337 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: the word out on the streets to get to see 338 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: who it was running the running with the with the 339 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: with the strand. So they got in touch with Bernard, 340 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: and Bernard didn't know nothing about it because it wasn't 341 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: even out in cookies yet. It was somebody in the 342 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: streets who had knocked it off. There was a knock 343 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: on it, and they was trying to sell it, and 344 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: they had bad packages and stuff out there, and they 345 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: was selling it. So then all of a sudden, when 346 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: I got to the meeting, I thought I was gonna 347 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: get with some streetenings and get out on it. We 348 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: was gonna talk, but Bernard came up. And then when 349 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: Bernard came up, Bernard was like, man, o ge, man, 350 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: this ain't even posting me out. I'm gonna find out 351 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: who did it. And I really think I know who 352 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: did it and put it on the streets. So that's 353 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: what really happened. And then when Bernard did it, he 354 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: stopped that. He stopped that, and then he said, you 355 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: know what, we was gonna call you anyway, because what 356 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: happened was we went out and we we cut some strands, 357 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: and the strand came to Gelato and it was like, 358 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: we want to honor the O G because we're from 359 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: the Bay. So what's twenty means? That means Gary Payton 360 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: out here. So he and they said, we're gonna name 361 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: the strand Gary Payt to me the bigger pictures because 362 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: I work with U c l A on this, you said, 363 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: on this cannabis research program. To me, the bigger play 364 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: and the bigger picture is realizing how beneficial this can 365 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: be for athletes and sports. I mean, you know, the 366 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: professional they pumping us full of opioid to get us 367 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: back on these playing fields, but then want to penalize 368 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: us for smoking, you know what I mean? And knowing 369 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: that I've been smoking us four teen started in high school, 370 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: through high school, through U c l A, through the NBA, 371 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: and I was always taking a chance. But to me, 372 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: there was no alternative because I wasn't someone who could 373 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: take opioid. They gave me stomach aches. I wasn't really 374 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: a big drinker, so I just always smoked it and 375 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: took that chance because I felt like I really needed it. 376 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: So the fact that you and and you're bringing other 377 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: legends into play, and there's other people in place. Our 378 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: brothers shout out out Harrington of Viola, Ricky Williams, Mike Tyson. 379 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: There's so many people around that are these so called 380 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 1: one percenters. You know, Kevin Durant supports it. I mean, 381 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: we can be productive. What the funk ever, Dad's business owner, 382 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: father's professional athletes and still smoke cannabis and we shouldn't 383 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: be fine, suspended or possibly lose our career over it. Well, Matt, 384 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: that's a good point. And that's why I think a 385 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: lot of people are seeing me in different Because before 386 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: my mom passed uh months ago from cancer, from liver cancer, 387 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: I was, um, I was really really breaking this off. 388 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: I got with burning there, I got with a lot 389 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: of people. You guys knew. I had started a company 390 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: called Canada Sports, which was basically gonna go towards medical 391 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: cannabis where it gets all the bound bass, made people 392 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: feel good and match your right. It's a lot of 393 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: things that a lot of players, I can take for instance, 394 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, who was ailing and aching and can't barely move, 395 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: would needs stuff like this to get itself up in 396 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: the morning, to get itself to moving and get off 397 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: these medical um, these medical pills. That is gonna what 398 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna do is they're gonna solve what they think 399 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: they're solving. But the other places, like you liver, like 400 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: you like your kid needs and stuff, it's gonna break 401 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: it down and then you're gonna be messed up and 402 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna keep taking this stuff. And that's what doctors 403 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: want you to do, is keep taking stuff and taking stuff, 404 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: so they could keep selling stuff and selling stuff. But 405 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: with this cannabis oil and the stuff and the CBD stuff, 406 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: it can make you get get not true and get 407 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: everything natural in your body and keep your body feeling 408 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: good where you can get up in the morning, you 409 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: can take walks, you can feel good about making breakfast 410 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: or something. But because some of the time, people who've 411 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: got a lot of a lot of hellen diseases, they 412 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: can't get up in the morning. They can't even know 413 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: they're not doing that dad nothing. So if you give 414 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: them this and give them a sense of um ability 415 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: to get up, feel good and stay on this stuff, 416 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: it's nothing wrong with that.

We want all fifty states to do it, 421 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: but it's gonna take time because they gotta get the 422 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: understanding of it's not gonna hurt you. You know what 423 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Alcohol gets you to drink in and get 424 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: your mind to getting all bad. Uh. Cannabis can get 425 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: you there if you and you can take different ones 426 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: and make you mellow, to make you up here to 427 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: make whatever.

And then we got 429 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff like that. And I'm not just 430 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: in the into the flower. I'm into bomb baths, I'm 431 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: into oils. I mean everything that's gonna make somebody feel 432 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: good about their self. And people know that. And that's 433 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: why a lot of people have been dealing with me 434 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: and wanted me to come to cannabis, uh, convintionous and 435 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: stuff like that so that I can share this information 436 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: with I'm gonna share what I'm trying to do because 437 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm not just into two smoking and doing that.

But then I'm gonna do 441 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: something else that is gonna make me be help other people, 442 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a movement. And I think we're 443 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: all gonna get into that, and we all want to 444 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: do that. And it's nothing wrong with with all every 445 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: one of you guys are doing because it is what 446 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: it is and this is the way life is going 447 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I think it's stuck. We're stuck on 448 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: old stick us. I think people fear the word high. 449 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: You know what I mean is we can remove the 450 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: word high and educate them because like you said, there's 451 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: so many different uh parts of this plant that can 452 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: help people in different ways, whether you want to get 453 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: whether you wanted to get the psychological high from it, 454 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: or you want to just get the straight you know, 455 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: the body recovery and and ailment. There's so many different 456 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: levels you can attack. And I think when people hear 457 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: the word cannabis, they instantly think you're smoking weeds are high. 458 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: But there's so many different ways to do this and 459 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: and I'm actually working on a project in the Bay 460 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: Area GP. We need to sit down and talk about 461 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: were unifying churches out there and educating church members because 462 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: you gotta think our grandparents, like you just said, we're 463 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: trying to cut that that we're trying to cut that 464 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 1: medical cabinet in half, if not more, you know, by 465 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: taking different parts of this plant. You know. I mean 466 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: our grandparents are waking up taking how many pills a day, 467 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: like you said, just to get out of bed, just 468 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: to move, just to feel better. And there's so many 469 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 1: testimonies of people taking whether it's the oil, the tinctures, 470 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: the bath bombs, the rubs, smoking a joint, there's so 471 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: many testimonies to how beneficial is for these people. We 472 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: still want to have this old stigma on it. So, 473 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: like I said, I think the overall picture of all 474 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: of US athletes because when we speak, we know people 475 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: listen to really just push this mention and let you 476 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: know you can still be a very productive person on 477 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: on many different levels. Uh, if you're a cannabis user 478 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: and magic that's that's a good point because a lot 479 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: of the churches is and the people in their old 480 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: school people that really understand about what's going on. What's 481 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: a good thing about that is is that my brother 482 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: is is one of the main pastors in the you know, 483 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: in the California. He's the president of a lot of 484 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: a lot of the things in California, where I'm educating 485 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: him on the same situation that you're talking about by 486 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: going to church and telling him what's going on. Because 487 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: he's got diabetes and he's got this. I want him 488 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: to get off peels and all of that stuff too. 489 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: It's nothing wrong, it's nothing wrong with it with the 490 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: stuff that he's doing. He doesn't have to smokee weed 491 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 1: and and and marijuanted to do that. He can get 492 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: these body wraps and cdds will make him feel understand 493 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: And we gotta get them to understand that. And that's 494 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: the problem that we have is that we're not letting 495 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: everybody understand what it is. And match You're right, all 496 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: they think about is high. It's not like that anymore. 497 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: It's just just a just regeneration man. And it's nothing 498 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: about hot and the more some people can take it 499 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: like we can say it with Snoop Dogg. He smokes 500 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: all the time and it's just something that he's immune to, 501 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. That's his thing to do 502 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: to keep him feeling right and and keep him motivated. 503 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: And that's no problem with that. And that's my homie, 504 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: and that's my dog. And I love him to death. 505 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: And I'm with him on that if that's gonna make 506 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: him be productive for him, for him, for him, for 507 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: everybody is different. Everybody is different. You know, we have 508 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: a hot we have a high tolerance. We smoked before 509 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: we played, when we played all the ship you know 510 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: what I mean, So to everybody is different. But that's 511 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: the amazing part about it is because there's so much education. 512 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: I think education is the key. Now you learn how 513 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: the microdulce. Now you find out because to me, I 514 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: don't never want it to someone to have a bad 515 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: experience on it, you know what I mean. There's so 516 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: much information education on it. Now you can know you 517 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: can micro dose if you're messing with the edibles or 518 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: the tincuers whatever, you know. I even want to get 519 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: to a point where you know, I'm letting a little 520 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: cat off the bag. But when we start dropping our 521 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: pre rolls and ship again to give people like levels, right, 522 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: when you smoke this much, this is what you should feel. 523 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: You spoke this much is what you feel, And if 524 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: you feel like you can handle a whole joint, go 525 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: for it. But to me, if we can educate people 526 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: and let them know, like there's a responsible way to 527 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: handle this. Like the old narrative of stoners or loose, 528 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: this is a real life business down and and this 529 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: plan is really help helping change people's lives. So we 530 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: can continue to educate. Like I said with the church ship, 531 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: we definitely gotta link up with that to continue to 532 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: educate the members. Shout out Bishop Clark and word Assembly 533 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: in Oakland. We gotta sit down, especially that your brother 534 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: is a pastor too. So we got a whole a 535 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: cool play in the Bay Area and we want a 536 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: cookie cut that model and take that ship all over 537 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: the country. Yeah, we gotta do that soon and because 538 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: it'll it'll help everybody and it'll start something. But what 539 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: the thing is, I want to I want to congratulate 540 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: y'all and I want to be saying I'm proud of 541 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: both of you too, or even coming up with a 542 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: with a show like this so that they can understanding, 543 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: so that everybody in the world can understand what's going 544 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: on right here, especially with the two of you guys, 545 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: who you guys have doing what you've done in the 546 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: community and what you've done on the basketball court for 547 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: these people to come here and then y'all educate them 548 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: and talk to educational wise.

It's just the stigma is just so bad. 559 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: Like I started smoking when I was twelve, so I 560 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: honestly would say I can tell by the I can 561 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: tell by the tent on the on your lower lipt. 562 00:26:53,880 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: It looked about because it started with used to be swishers, 563 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: then with the great swishers.

Yeah, 567 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: but but for me, but for me, I know, I know, 568 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: especially sports wise, I played through all kind of entry, 569 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: just like you both y'all did. It's no way I 570 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: would have made it fourteen years, is no way I 571 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: would have been a productive that I that I have 572 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: been if it wasn't for cannabis. So a lot a 573 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: lot of people, I'm glad, like you sound glad that 574 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: we are able to stand on the form front because 575 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: me and Matt. You've never seen me and Matt missing 576 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: the game or suspended because of cannabis. You never seen 577 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: us getting pulled over with it. So we can speak 578 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: on it because we had with because we've done it 579 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: the right way, you know what I'm saying. So I'm glad. 580 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad that we got people like you two O 581 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: G that speak on the two because it gives us credibility, 582 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: right And you know, you guys, even though I didn't 583 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: smoke weed when I was in the league, and I 584 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: try to be uh a guy where I was tough 585 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: all the time and get through it, you know what 586 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But then I wish I could I would 587 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: have because then I wouldn't have had so much alcohol 588 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: in my system right now, what I'm saying, see, and 589 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: so I used to put it to the alcohol man. 590 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: Y'all had y'alls, I had mine, man, So I wish 591 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: I would have been a little bit different on that 592 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: because then I would have had my body, you know, 593 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: way way more better to than that idea then. So, 594 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: but it was always a learning process of what we're doing. 595 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: That's why everything trickles out to be what it is 596 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: in the future. Everything happens for a reason, and now 597 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: this reason is in that we understand it what the 598 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: cannabis is going about and how we did it, and 599 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: y'all had it already and and at forefront when y'all 600 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: was in the league, So we don't you know, people 601 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: don't know it, but they know it now. And that's 602 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: why a lot of these sports are now starting to say, 603 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: we're not gonna test for this. We're not gonna test 604 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: for marijuana. We're not gonna do this thing. So it's 605 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: not like I think it's so much not to cut 606 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: you off. You. I think that these leagues worried so 607 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: much about image and the message we're putting out the children, 608 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's not so much 609 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: promoting go smoke weed, just don't test for it no more. 610 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: Remember back I'm sure, it's for you. We used to 611 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: get that preseason test. Uh one time we was good, 612 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: So it wasn't like they were saying, go smoke. But 613 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: they just wasn't testing for that ship, you know. So 614 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,959 Speaker 1: it's not like you're promoting we think kids, because I mean, 615 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: obviously the n b A is you know, we got 616 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: the kids until we got the world's attention, so we 617 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 1: are obviously they want to be conscious about the message 618 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: we're sending to children. But like I said that, at 619 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's not so much about 620 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: promoting the situation. It's just not testing for it anymore, right, 621 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: And that's what the leagues are doing because it's not 622 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: gonna be you guys. You know that they're not gonna 623 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: be able to stop you guys from smoking weed and 624 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: nobody else. You're gonna do it. We're gonna do it regardless. 625 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna do it regardless. So why why fighting If 626 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: you feel around and all of a sudden you get 627 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: eighty people that that's positive for it, what you're gonna do. 628 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: You'll mess your whole league up if you try to 629 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: suspend eighty people, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and 630 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: just make sure and and y'all guys are responsible. Y'all 631 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: come to the game. Y'all know not to y'all gonna 632 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: hurt nobody or nothing no happen. You can read, you 633 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: can you can redo, you can do it, you can 634 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: maintain it and contain it, and you be responsible. So 635 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: everybody gonna be good. And they know they're not gonna 636 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: be able to control everybody because everybody's gonna keep doing it. Right. 637 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: I remember towards the end of my career, Um, I 638 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: was in the drug program and they were over I was. 639 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: I was told there half the dude there was over 640 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: two hundred dudes in there for cannabis alone. Yeah, that 641 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: that's half the league, you know what I mean. And 642 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: it's everywhere from rookies to superstars. You know what I mean, 643 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: like in all and not just the NBA, in the 644 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: NFL and Major League Baseball, you know what I mean. 645 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: Like we know other people in different walls of life, 646 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: and it is what it is, So it shouldn't be 647 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: looked down upon. It shouldn't be criminalized. You shouldn't. You know. 648 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: I lost my home boy, shout out my home boy 649 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: Ontario men from Sacramento. One of the coldest running backs 650 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: ever was about to sign a big deal with the 651 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings and got pot for the third time with 652 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: the Tree and some others you know in in the situation, 653 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: and he lost his career over it. You mean, you 654 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: look at the dude from the Cowboys, David Irving retired 655 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: over it because people, you know, people, they don't understand 656 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: the real benefits there. They they look at it and 657 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: with the old stigma, the old stereotype that it's it's 658 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: it's a gateway for other bullshit, and it's not, you 659 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like we we smokers, and we smokers, 660 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: and it's very beneficial in our lives. Man. So it's 661 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad that I think we've still got a way 662 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: to go, but we're definitely heading the right direction as 663 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: far as just trying to normalize this. To me, it 664 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: should be just as normal for a mom at the 665 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: end of the day to have a joint than it 666 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: is to have a glass of wine. And that's true. 667 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: It's everybody, you know, Like you said, man, a lot 668 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: of people like to drink wine. Some people want to 669 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: have I have our joint, you know, I'm saying, have 670 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: a pre roll, you know, just smoke that and and 671 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: that'll make you relax and be there and you know, 672 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: and I guarantee right now in this quarantine, that's what 673 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: it's all about. Right now, everybody hey probably smoking it 674 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: out right now. So it's all good, man. And as 675 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: long as we could get to the point where we 676 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: can get everybody educated on this and get this to 677 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: just be where it's at, because we are moving in 678 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: the right direction. We are doing things and the right 679 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: people are stepping up to promote this to let them 680 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: know it. And the people that are stepping up are 681 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: respected people and people listen to it. So that's good 682 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: that we're getting into the right right direction. We need 683 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: to all come together on this is something our brother 684 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: Alharings has been been preaching on this. We need to 685 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: all come together and figure out, you know, create some quarter, 686 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: some sort of board like continuing to come together and 687 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: push this narrative and educate people. I think education um 688 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: on this situation is the key man. But we're gonna 689 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: wrap it up so like I said, we want to 690 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: get you in the studio, so we're not gonna get 691 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: too deep into too much ship.

Play defense? 704 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: How you can play Marcus Smart from Boston. I want 705 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: to go at him, man, he little. I think I 706 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: think me and I think me and him might have 707 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: a real, real good battle. Man. I want to go 708 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: there because he got he got it and it's one more. 709 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: I would want to go with Patrick Beverley too. I 710 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: would want to go there. So you know what Tom 711 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: to yeah them THEO I really really yeah, yeah, I 712 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: would want to go to both of them. If if 713 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: the season gets back on track, Um, who do you 714 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: see going to the finals? I see the Clippers and 715 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: Milwaukee going to the finals. I think both of them 716 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: got both of them got what it takes. Milwaukee is 717 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: in that division and the East Coast where I think 718 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: they just dominating it right now with Janice being healthy 719 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: and everything, I don't think nobody over there can stop him. 720 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: Over here in the West Coast, you know, the Lakers 721 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: are are the truth. But I still think that that 722 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: team over there, with the with the Clippers, they got 723 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: too much off the bench and they got too much going. 724 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think Kauai and Paul uh and 725 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: Paul is just it's just they're just too tough for me. 726 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: I think that. Then with Patrick Beverley being the one 727 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: who he go and go lockdown superstar, I think he 728 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: can get up into Lebron a little bit and slow 729 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: him down and then get all of the big dogs 730 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,439 Speaker 1: to start guarding him at the end, which they have done. 731 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: But the Lakers proved in the third game that they 732 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: can get with him. But I still think they got 733 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: too many people Clippers. So you see Clippers winning the championship. 734 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: I do see the Clippers winning the championship. You know, 735 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: I see the West winning championship period, even if the 736 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: Clippers don't. Even if the Clippers don't go by, and 737 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: the Lakers can can do detrag can get at the 738 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: at the at the Clippers. I think the Lakers will 739 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,720 Speaker 1: win the championship, especially with Lebron and a d. Lebron 740 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: Is is just a player where you can't stop him. 741 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: He's gonna get a triple double and he's gonna win 742 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: his way. You know, you don't seen that. I've seen that. 743 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: You know, I've seen it every time he went in 744 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: the championship eight years in a row, at each heat 745 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: took bad teams to the championship. If the Lakers get by, yeah, 746 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: If the Lakers get and he got a great team 747 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: now and the Lakers by the Clippers, that winning to Yeah, 748 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: that win it. I see a lot of people think, 749 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 1: like by saying that that we're disrespecting Milwaukee, but we 750 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: know it's former players. You gotta do it in the playoffs. 751 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't gonna how many games you win in the 752 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: regular season, because you saw the Warriors won seventy three 753 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: and they and they and they unfortunately lost. Yeah, you 754 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta do. Johannis has to be the superstar 755 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: in the regular season, in the playoffs and then us 756 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: when his him and his team start getting more respects. 757 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: So it's not a disrespect thing, it's just he still 758 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: has some more room. You know, as former players, we 759 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: feel he needs to grow and he needs to do 760 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: he need We need to see regular season Janice in 761 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: the in the playoffs, in the Eastern Conference finals, and 762 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: we need to see regular season Janice in the finals. 763 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: And then that's when your team starts getting that respect 764 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: And then, Matt, you gotta understand, playoffs are very different 765 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 1: possessions to become a lot of important, referee start calling 766 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: the game a little bit more tough, as you've seen 767 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: last year when when Toronto start doubling him and then 768 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: putting Kauai on him and doing doing things, they took 769 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: him out of the game and he struggled. And then 770 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: now this is what he has to do this year. 771 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: And that's what he's been been preaching about all some 772 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: all season, that he's gonna be different. And when he's 773 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: being different, the other players on his team and his 774 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: teammates are gonna have to be different too. They're gonna 775 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: have to take some of that load off of him, 776 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: score points and make to make their selfs important too. 777 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 1: And that's what you guys know, we played in the NBA, 778 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 1: and when we get to the playoffs, it's a whole 779 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: different story. They start are you don't play person one 780 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: game and then don't see him until two months later, 781 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: playing back to back to back, and you gotta adjust, 782 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: and they're gonna go in and watch videos and then 783 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna try to do something different than you gotta 784 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: be ready for, right right. I think it's important, man, 785 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: for Milwaukee, you know, with Middleton to be that consistent 786 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: second option, bled so to be that consistent third option, 787 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: and then the rest of the players just play their role. 788 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: But I really like, I thought Boston was playing really 789 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: well before we uh we took this break, you know 790 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: what I mean. I think they were starting to get 791 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: their chemistry. Jason Tatum and Brown were hitting their stride, 792 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,479 Speaker 1: Kimball was getting in where he fit in every Gordon 793 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 1: Hayward was flashing. Everyone was playing their roles, and I 794 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: really liked what Boston was doing. Um, but it's gonna 795 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: be interesting, man. Hopefully the League of the Season will 796 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: come back and we can crown and champ. Yeah. Yeah, 797 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: with Boston, Matt they get hurt too much. They let 798 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: one of them out. This time one of them out 799 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: that time. If they all could be on the floor 800 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: at the same time, they're a big threat. They are 801 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: really big threat. And with Tatum, and with Tatum playing 802 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 1: the way years and he's starting to become a superstar, 803 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: it's hard to stop him from scoring the basketball when 804 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: he can give you thirty anytime, and then he real 805 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: smooth with his jumper is wet, and if they can 806 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: keep it up, they are a threat too. Over there 807 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: in the East, I think I think we walking is cool. 808 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: But but everybody talking about Yannice, we always see the 809 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: regular season Jannice. I think they could come out of 810 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: the East, but we need to see playoff, honest. We 811 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: can't see regular season nice in the playoffs. We need 812 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: to see playoff, honest. So he got to find another 813 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: identity to understand that the level goes way higher in 814 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs and you gotta bring your you gotta bring 815 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: your level up way higher. You gotta start hitting jump 816 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: but you gotta start doing stuff that you couldn't do 817 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: in regular season, that you wasn't doing the regular season 818 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 1: to get your team to the finals. And I think 819 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 1: you know that now after losing last year, he gonna 820 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: win the m v P two years in a row. 821 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: He gonna win it again this year. And I think 822 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 1: what's gonna make him different? What made him different this season? 823 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,439 Speaker 1: Of them going into the World Games and if people 824 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: stopping him in that coach talking about we've been playing 825 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: against him so long, we know how to stop him 826 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: and stuff like. That's why I think he's gonna be 827 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: a little bit different when it comes to playoff time, 828 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be He's gonna be pretty good in 829 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I think I like Lebron for m v P. 830 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: But I feel you, Hey, before we get out of here, 831 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: we're another reference. We spoke to KG one time and 832 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,479 Speaker 1: he said that one time you pulled KG and Kobe 833 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: aside and taught up some ship on defense about when 834 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: to go after the ball, and then Kobe applied it. 835 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 1: It was a little back and forth. But you gotta 836 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 1: tell us about any personal stories you may have a 837 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,879 Speaker 1: cob one of maybe one of your favorite memories of Kobe. Well, 838 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: you know, Matt, I had the pleasure of mentoring Um 839 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: for one year when he was in trouble with the 840 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: differcation stuff. Uh it was really uh enjoyful time for 841 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 1: me to mentoring him. I became a big brother to him. 842 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: Kobe was just a little different. He he didn't have 843 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: no he didn't have no ego. But I'm not as 844 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: a meaning he did have ego, but I'm saying an 845 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: ego and acting o. G s what to do and 846 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: well and how did he could become better? And when 847 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: he came approached me at the All Star Game and 848 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: asked him how to become how to make first team 849 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 1: All Defense. And I sat there to at uh at 850 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: the the center court and taught him a lot of 851 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 1: things and he made the first team All Defense with 852 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: me that year. I said, this young kid that has 853 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 1: a lot of different and a lot of different things 854 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: in him. He's got a lot of different mentality. And 855 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 1: he kept asking me stuff every time he played me, 856 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: and I posted him up and I got it. He 857 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: would always come over to me and and and sneaking 858 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: in my ear. Oh g man, why you keep killing 859 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: me on these post ups? Man? You gotta teach me 860 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: that what should I do? And that was just a 861 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: big thing for me to hear that, and they respect that, 862 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: and I couldn't do nothing but respecting and teach him 863 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: the game because I know I'm a lot older than he, 864 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: and I was gonna be leaving the game soon, and 865 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: I want to see somebody in that game that imitates 866 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: the things that I do and can be dominated at it. 867 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: And this kid was one of them guys and I 868 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: and I taught him everything that I need to tell him. 869 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: We used to stay after practice at UM in l A. 870 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: And he used to t I used to teach him 871 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: to post up game. Then he used to fade away. 872 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: He took it all. He faced you up and go 873 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: at you. And it was things that he did like that. 874 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: And we used to do drills about defense. I used 875 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: to get him and I used to throw a tennis 876 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: ball back and forth and he used to catch with 877 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: one hand, catch one hand and slide what I I 878 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: learned and he got so good at it where he 879 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: used to guard all the top guys. And that's what 880 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: I started telling him, stop straying away from all the 881 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 1: top guys. If day, if the top guy on the 882 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: team is there, you guard him, guard him all night, 883 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: and then you take his heart from him, and then 884 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: you go down and kill him on the other end. 885 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: And that's what he started doing, and that's when he 886 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: started with the dog shit, I love that. I don't 887 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: want to touch on that real quick because people forget, 888 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, towards the end of your career, Uh, you 889 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: touched with the Lakers and obviously won the championship with Miami. 890 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: What was it like going to the lager team because 891 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: arguably two people you never thought you would see move, 892 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: you and Karl Malone end up with the Layers. What 893 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: was that like because of that lake a lifestyle something else. Well, 894 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: you know, Mattie, it was right a lot different. And 895 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: the and the way we got to l A is 896 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: because me and Karl had planned already to play with 897 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: each other. We have been talking about that for two 898 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: All Stars, and we said we knew that we wasn't 899 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna be with our same team for a long period 900 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: of time because our owners was a little bit different. 901 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: They were trying to stray away from us a little bit. 902 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 1: They wanted to go young. So he always told me, 903 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna play together. So when we came 904 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: free agents and then all of a sudden, magic start 905 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: calling us and saying that the Lakers want us, they 906 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: want us, they want us, they want us. And then 907 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden call called me and said, you know, 908 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 1: I want to go to the l A. I want 909 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: to get signed. I wanna get out of this coldness. 910 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: I want to get out of all this crap. Man. 911 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: Let's enjoy ourselves at the end of our careers and 912 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: do what we do. We could sign here for two 913 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: years and and then re up and then in our 914 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: career here and it will be fine. And he said, 915 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: I'll take the less money, you take the big money. 916 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: And that's what we did. We took the left, he 917 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: took the less, I took the big and we went 918 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: there and it was a lot different. We didn't expect 919 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: for Kobe to get in trouble, we didn't expect for 920 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: shock to v few new dr Bus.
