Speaker 1: M h. Everything she does. That's because she never loses
Speaker 1: sight of what's important. Putting on a military transport tonight. Yes,
Speaker 1: no one's backing down on either side. We have a
Speaker 1: bona fide crisis. We'll follow it up together. Get to
Speaker 1: the truth. I did how to be done. The persona
Speaker 1: of DeMarcus is that he's a problem of the team.
Speaker 1: Technical fouls. What while she get to know DeMarcus, You
Speaker 1: know that's not the case. When you see me, you
Speaker 1: ain't trying to see He has a chance to write
Speaker 1: his own story. Now you gotta go through a storm
Speaker 1: to find some sunshine. Welcome back all the smoke, my brother,
Speaker 1: the mother smoke. What have you? What have you done
Speaker 1: to well? After the opt the moisture, after the first
Speaker 1: two episodes when he was killing me a boy, my
Speaker 1: hands being what I figured it out. I wasn't high enough.
Speaker 1: The mom drives my eyes out and everything. That a
Speaker 1: good thing. Yeah, yeah, I just said, you stuck over
Speaker 1: there a couple of times like this, especially with Snoop.
Speaker 1: Motherfucking couldn't shut Yeah I was high, but you know
Speaker 1: what it works anyway, we got a special guest man,
Speaker 1: one of the most talented. Yeah, the little Bro definitely
Speaker 1: the game has ever seen current Los Angeles later the
Speaker 1: Marcus Cousin man, thank you for joining us. Bro Bro.
Speaker 1: Know what it is, Injury is the toughest thing for
Speaker 1: athletes to face, and you've had I've said, Ship, if
Speaker 1: you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have no luck
Speaker 1: as far as it comes the injury run you've been
Speaker 1: on of Like, how are you mentally staying focused, locked
Speaker 1: in and and staying in good spirits because that's just
Speaker 1: hard to do well. I mean I would be lying
Speaker 1: to say, you know, it hasn't been tough or whatever,
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm I grew up a lot different
Speaker 1: like so, and this for me, these injuries just another
Speaker 1: format verses. So when I say I grew up differently,
Speaker 1: like I've been facing that versity of my entire life.
Speaker 1: You've seen worse like I've seen words. I've had to
Speaker 1: deal with worse like so me trying to overcome hurdles
Speaker 1: like I'm almost kind of like accustomed to them because
Speaker 1: that's all I've been used to. So not to discredit them,
Speaker 1: I mean, they were tough, but that's where that adversity is,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I just kind of
Speaker 1: feel like these are the same time situations and take
Speaker 1: it a day at a time, and I'm gonna work.
Speaker 1: That's all I've done. My entire life is work. I'm
Speaker 1: not afraid of it. It's just another hurdle to get old.
Speaker 1: We got a chance to walk through that journey with you.
Speaker 1: First of all, I gotta thank you because through me
Speaker 1: speaking on your resurrection or what's it called resurgence documentary
Speaker 1: is kind of how this whole ship happened because I
Speaker 1: spoke on it and and as I appreciate you, bro,
Speaker 1: you know, but anyway, um, what's the toughest part about
Speaker 1: this rehab process and not being able to do what
Speaker 1: you love, especially considering you've been in with the Golden
Speaker 1: State and not fully healthy, which could have want the title.
Speaker 1: Now you're playing with the Lakers in Lebron and you're
Speaker 1: just not. So tell me what what's the toughest part
Speaker 1: about The toughest part is you know, missing basketball? Right?
Speaker 1: I love a hoop, Like I'm not the tall guy
Speaker 1: that just hoop because you know what I like because
Speaker 1: so you know what I'm saying, like, I really love
Speaker 1: this game, and you know, being away from that alone
Speaker 1: is hard enough, not even including everything else that comes
Speaker 1: with being away from it. So that's what you lost
Speaker 1: in transition, especially athletes, like when we go through ups
Speaker 1: and downs, like even we mean with the broad Ship,
Speaker 1: when I got suspended thirty games, I was away from
Speaker 1: the game. That was probably one of the lowest points
Speaker 1: in my life because I played basketball my whole life.
Speaker 1: Nobody could take basketball from me. I can go play
Speaker 1: it on the park, I go play it everywhere. So
Speaker 1: when the game was took it from me what I've
Speaker 1: been doing my whole life, like that ship took me down,
Speaker 1: like more than anything somebody can say about me, more
Speaker 1: than anything somebody could do about me, because that's what
Speaker 1: I love most. So when you go through stuff, people
Speaker 1: want to look at that, but don't look at the understanding.
Speaker 1: You just love the fucking game. You just want to
Speaker 1: play the game absolutely at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: That's that's what we all do it, well, you know
Speaker 1: most of us. You know, that's what we love to do.
Speaker 1: So just being away from that part that it sucks,
Speaker 1: but um, you know, and you deal with everything else
Speaker 1: that comes with it. What non basketball things have kind
Speaker 1: of helped you deal with this stretch you've had. That's
Speaker 1: a good question. Huh uh. But uh, lean on family
Speaker 1: a lot. That's that's my backbone I got. I got
Speaker 1: a great group around me, Um keep me, stayle that,
Speaker 1: keep everything and float for me. So you know, family
Speaker 1: in my in my group, that's that's really all I need.
Speaker 1: I got a chance see how strong your family is
Speaker 1: and not strong your group is. You know, you always
Speaker 1: invite me to your comedy shows every year, and uh,
Speaker 1: I just so happened to you invited me to the
Speaker 1: game the night you hurt your leg in the New
Speaker 1: Orleans and I was there at night. But I got
Speaker 1: a chance to see your mom and everybody embrace you.
Speaker 1: And the fact that you still came to the motherfucking
Speaker 1: show that night, Like I wouldn't have bade to do
Speaker 1: that about it. Have a strong foundation, you know, all
Speaker 1: your people around you know that helped me get there.
Speaker 1: They had a lot of stuff going on. But to
Speaker 1: see you still show up, that showed your foundation and
Speaker 1: your family, your mom and them being on it, that
Speaker 1: was that was deep to me. So I was hurting,
Speaker 1: man to man, you didn't show it. Though you didn't
Speaker 1: show it. You didn't show We laughed good shows are
Speaker 1: always classically because the comedians be seeing us in the front.
Speaker 1: Just start talking about you're doing one this year possibly
Speaker 1: possibly let me know, speaking of l A Man, how
Speaker 1: do you? How do you like l A like man? Um?
Speaker 1: Just the vibe different definition of the West Coast vibe,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's laid back, it's chill.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're look into you know, to do
Speaker 1: the actress is plenty out here. You know, it's laid
Speaker 1: back and that's you know, that's what I like. You
Speaker 1: possibly had a chance to go to come to the
Speaker 1: Lakers in two thousand and eighteen. It was a little man.
Speaker 1: I was supposed to come to the Lakers a few times. Okay,
Speaker 1: talk to talk to talk us through that year? Was that?
Speaker 1: Were you there when leave with George? No, you weren't
Speaker 1: hungry for that year? I was supposed to when um,
Speaker 1: last second, I was like, you're supposed to get traded
Speaker 1: or free agency? Supposed to get traded? Really? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: called it all. I called my agent and I'm cool
Speaker 1: now I won't And it wasn't even where was was
Speaker 1: that when the team was the Laker team? Wasn't that good? Back?
Speaker 1: Then no point. Yeah, but you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you called my agent and I kind of got cold
Speaker 1: feet or whatever. You were a guy, I mean, you
Speaker 1: know Sacramento be in my hometown. Um, you you were
Speaker 1: a guy out there. They absolutely loved you, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean for all the hard work you put
Speaker 1: in and you're in year out, did your thing. And
Speaker 1: then I was with you the last year leading into trade.
Speaker 1: And it was funny because when I came to the team,
Speaker 1: like I think someone was in the paper, someone called
Speaker 1: me the boogie whisper because because because they thought, you
Speaker 1: know that you listened to me. We had a real
Speaker 1: good line of communication. And it would be funny because
Speaker 1: like management will come to me, coaches come to me.
Speaker 1: Now that those trade down are not trading. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna trade. Dont no, he's not getting trade. He's not this,
Speaker 1: he's not that. He's not okay to try to get
Speaker 1: back to him. Yeah, I mean we didn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: if if we talked about it, we talked about both
Speaker 1: and stuffing we would talking about But then to see
Speaker 1: did you really learn about your trade as you're getting
Speaker 1: interviewed at All Star, Yes, walk us through that. I
Speaker 1: mean so crazy thing is my um for that Also game,
Speaker 1: my locker was right next to Russ. The rust just
Speaker 1: kind of holiday at me, like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm here some things, what's up with? And I'm just like, bro,
Speaker 1: like that's not gonna happen. So obviously he knew somethody didn't.
Speaker 1: So you know, end of the game, who kind of
Speaker 1: the interviewer you know, asked me a question and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, you know what I'm saying, what what what
Speaker 1: you're talking about? You know? He kind of hop my
Speaker 1: the PR guy from New Orleans at the time. No,
Speaker 1: I mean for Sack at the time, you know, such
Speaker 1: and such and such and such, just like damn, and
Speaker 1: I know I'm on camera, the world is looking at yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm just like trying to play, you know, put
Speaker 1: my poker face and I'm like, well, yeah, I love
Speaker 1: New Waters. I'm just so happy to be traded in
Speaker 1: New Orleans. So I don't know, it just kind of
Speaker 1: worked out that way and I played it pretty smooth.
Speaker 1: But how tough was that for you? Because I know
Speaker 1: your heart was was in Sack. Absolutely I wanted to,
Speaker 1: you know, finish my career there but at the same time,
Speaker 1: the way it went down, Like at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, we all noticed a business. They're gonna tell
Speaker 1: us whatever they there's ways to do things, a way.
Speaker 1: As much as I put into that city, like I
Speaker 1: just felt I deserved a little more so. But so
Speaker 1: that wasn't what you wanted. No, no, not at all.
Speaker 1: And we were making the playoffs for the first year.
Speaker 1: The arena was open like all we had we talked
Speaker 1: about and I believe that's why they did the trade.
Speaker 1: They it would have been hard to do it if
Speaker 1: you made the playoffs. So we were talking about all
Speaker 1: we gotta do is get to be the a C
Speaker 1: funk around. Might win a game against Golden State, might not,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be crazy. I remember that. But then
Speaker 1: after that is when I, you know, I asked, I'm
Speaker 1: at the end of my career, I'm not trying to rebuild,
Speaker 1: because obviously you trade a franchise player trying to rebuild,
Speaker 1: and I'm old, I'm trying to you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And then that's so happens like a week later, Katie
Speaker 1: hurt his knee and I've already been talking to Draymond
Speaker 1: and Claire. I think, and then damn Coach kerk calls
Speaker 1: been like, hey, can you remember I was at KFC
Speaker 1: with the twins we had They had just got done
Speaker 1: working out. I was chilling, you know, getting dude, just relaxing,
Speaker 1: just enjoy some time off. We had just got done
Speaker 1: working out and we're at KFC and I get a
Speaker 1: call from Coach Kurry. He's like, yeah, welcome to you know.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately Katie went down and uh flying to Chicago tomorrow.
Speaker 1: The fun uh huh. And that's how it should happened.
Speaker 1: That's crazy how teams can make theirselves sorry you even
Speaker 1: thought about that. You got all these fans coming by.
Speaker 1: You want to blame everything on the players, but it
Speaker 1: really it's the people. Higher was just making y'all so
Speaker 1: and manage. You meant to dumb it. People don't. It's simple.
Speaker 1: It's just simple. It's just simple. Trade a good players.
Speaker 1: Now you say so your trade it traded to New
Speaker 1: Orleans and playing with a good friend and then arguably
Speaker 1: the one to combination the best big men in the game,
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis and you guys clicked in jailed and we're
Speaker 1: scary as fun. Oh man. We we talked about all
Speaker 1: the time four or five, pick and roll, y'all used
Speaker 1: to run. Either one of y'all can handle anyone, y'all
Speaker 1: can set the screen. That ship was dangerous. Oh my
Speaker 1: god man. We talked about it all the time. But
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Um, you just learned. You
Speaker 1: just learned so much about this business. Like the more
Speaker 1: you go through and it's just like, how didn't I
Speaker 1: see this in the beginning, But but you gotta go
Speaker 1: through it. You just gotta go through it. But back
Speaker 1: on in the war, you know, we clicked. It was
Speaker 1: something I believe, something like special. I think we could
Speaker 1: have been on the run once we got everything around.
Speaker 1: That's correct. It was no stopping Tim Duncan and Dave
Speaker 1: Rapson on steroids what I called up. He just made
Speaker 1: that ship up right now. You wouldn't say any bathing.
Speaker 1: Go go go go back, go back, go back. Because
Speaker 1: I was working ESPN a lot around that time, someone
Speaker 1: find me to clip for fucking Jack's life. We can
Speaker 1: we can find it because I was working esp and
Speaker 1: find out where the steroid line come from. A D
Speaker 1: and find out that I say, called him and uh
Speaker 1: him and a D. Tim Duncan and David Robinson on
Speaker 1: the jump. Whoever finds that and we pick you, we
Speaker 1: might let you come. You work, you work to jump,
Speaker 1: go ahead and tell him to do in the home
Speaker 1: ruck up. That ain't doing shit else I ain't doing
Speaker 1: ship anyway. So you go from it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: getting the Supermax. You're coming up on a Supermax deal,
Speaker 1: definitely well deserved if anyone deserves it. Your numbers and
Speaker 1: what you've done put you in that category. You come
Speaker 1: to New Orleans, you jail and then extra effort chasing
Speaker 1: the rebound down. You knew as soon as you did it.
Speaker 1: You did it man like I said. It just shows
Speaker 1: you how this business goals. Man like. But just the
Speaker 1: breakdown on everything you just said to this point and
Speaker 1: just show you how to go. It ain't about what
Speaker 1: you've done or what you deserve, what you do and um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just that's what it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's no way around. Yeah. So it's super funked up.
Speaker 1: But like you said, it's super fucked up. But that's
Speaker 1: just how it is. It's super you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So you go from possibly getting a super Max building
Speaker 1: an amazing team over there in New Orleans too no
Speaker 1: one really wanted to take a chance on you, until
Speaker 1: all of a sudden that one team that didn't really
Speaker 1: need you as good as you fucking are and as
Speaker 1: good as they were, take a chance on you. Became
Speaker 1: a warrior. Yeah, that was That was a dope experience.
Speaker 1: And just you, you and my team, you know how bad,
Speaker 1: Like you knew how important winning was for me. So
Speaker 1: just being able to see it happen and be a
Speaker 1: part of it, like you don't see that often. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of players that would never get that opportunity.
Speaker 1: So it just opened my eyes and like I just
Speaker 1: viewed a game in a totally different way just to
Speaker 1: be able to. I mean I was terrible and final,
Speaker 1: like one leg there was one leg banded on the floor.
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, I wanted to be
Speaker 1: a part of. Not only that I wanted to, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is in the finals, you play hurt. Wait till
Speaker 1: you you mean talk about this though, you know that's
Speaker 1: when you let your body right right. So I went
Speaker 1: out there and I gave it what I had, I
Speaker 1: mean made it made a difference though, you know, I helped,
Speaker 1: I helped the spot. There was times where you yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I wasn't supposed to be on the floor.
Speaker 1: I say, sometimes as athletes, we need to be protected
Speaker 1: from ourselves. Do you regret because I remember we took
Speaker 1: we have phone calls. Remember right when you're about to
Speaker 1: come back, and I was leading towards more. Don't like
Speaker 1: I was telling you, like, bro, you got a good
Speaker 1: eight to ten years left in your career. But coming
Speaker 1: from your situation, I completely knew, like this motherfucker wants
Speaker 1: he's misread because all he wants to do is win,
Speaker 1: and he's been in a bad situations that that don't win.
Speaker 1: So he's finally on a team that's gonna win. But
Speaker 1: he's coming off a major injury, you know what I I mean.
Speaker 1: So I'm talking to you, like, look at the big picture.
Speaker 1: But at the same time you're looking at I'm like
Speaker 1: a playing with k D Steph. I got a chance
Speaker 1: to win a champion. I gotta go play absolutely, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's I really had the torn quad six weeks,
Speaker 1: but they came back and play, and came back and play.
Speaker 1: I had no business on the floor. How did you talk?
Speaker 1: How did you you know? Because because Katie went down,
Speaker 1: uh there, Clay went down on. It just made me
Speaker 1: go on, what did how did you talk your way
Speaker 1: into being able to play? I mean, I know you
Speaker 1: don't really take no well, and you're kind of you're
Speaker 1: kind of big. I don't know if you got hands,
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean, how did you talk to
Speaker 1: your way to getting back on the court? Time you
Speaker 1: just had shot? What was that? Never change, bro, never change?
Speaker 1: What was your question? How did you get yourself back
Speaker 1: on the court? Knowing that deep down you did it
Speaker 1: because of the situation, but knowing you probably should though,
Speaker 1: how did you get yourself back on the court? Kept
Speaker 1: telling myself, like, this is what I've played for my
Speaker 1: entire career to be on this stage, to have this opportunity,
Speaker 1: Like whatever I got to do that to be able to,
Speaker 1: you know, be a part of that, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I did a I don't even know how I did it, honestly,
Speaker 1: Like through the react Like I went in there the
Speaker 1: first week. I laid in the oxygen chamber first week
Speaker 1: for like four hours a day, just laid there years
Speaker 1: Like brain feel like it's about to explode, bro, Like,
Speaker 1: but it was supposed to promote hill In and all that,
Speaker 1: So I did that the whole first week after that
Speaker 1: rehab every single day, maybe twice a day, so just
Speaker 1: to you know, be a part of that moment. And
Speaker 1: you know, I got the chance to do. I regret it.
Speaker 1: Hell no, Like that's what I hooped for, Like that's
Speaker 1: the winner lost. I was a part of that. I'm
Speaker 1: okay with the results. I guess I got a little
Speaker 1: tastes of I wanted again. So it's all good. That
Speaker 1: goes to, well, how we grow up, Like we grow
Speaker 1: we see so much ship growing up, people don't understand.
Speaker 1: So when we get to adult and we go through
Speaker 1: ups and down, this ship ain't nothing. Man. I'm a
Speaker 1: man now, so you know what I'm saying, this ship.
Speaker 1: I can handle this ship. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to deal with certain ships. And I always
Speaker 1: got to say that, Like growing up has made us
Speaker 1: strong enough to deal with certain ship that we had
Speaker 1: no idea that we was gonna deal with as a
Speaker 1: grown man. If you told me I was gonna deal
Speaker 1: with this as a kid, I don't know. Like, man's
Speaker 1: I gotta do what you feel me Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you sit around and soak about it, that's gonna
Speaker 1: help you like all you can do is go up.
Speaker 1: You at your lowers, ain't getting the lower right. So
Speaker 1: you go from giving everything you had on one leg
Speaker 1: to you guys, lost your head into the summer, starting
Speaker 1: to feel good. Then you tell you a cl crazy
Speaker 1: thing is man car chilling? Right? So I do all that.
Speaker 1: I fly home that day I went to the gym.
Speaker 1: I had just landed crawl like cross country damn near
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't want to miss no days
Speaker 1: in the gym. Like that's I mean, I'm getting into
Speaker 1: that mode, you know what I'm saying. I don't want
Speaker 1: to miss no day. So I go to the gym.
Speaker 1: I get there a little late day, towards the part
Speaker 1: where they're screaming, I ain't had no business being out there.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get my burn like love for something,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I like to make sure
Speaker 1: I had a productive day. I had no business out there.
Speaker 1: Last play weird though, did he hit you? Run by
Speaker 1: you making I don't want to throw my dog out
Speaker 1: of the bus. I mean, obviously didn't mean to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously it was a slight bumping and just shifted. But
Speaker 1: that's besides the point. I had no business out there.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. So you living, you learn, do you feel
Speaker 1: with the progress you've made that whenever you do decide
Speaker 1: to get back on the court, that you'll be able
Speaker 1: to be the person that was putting up forty and
Speaker 1: fifteen in their sleep? Absolutely, Like you fee the body,
Speaker 1: you know, because I know it's feeling older, like I
Speaker 1: would start feeling like my like, damn, my knee is
Speaker 1: really yeah, So I'm you're not older, but you're just
Speaker 1: coming back off serious injuries. But you know, you know,
Speaker 1: in my game it was never That's why I told
Speaker 1: him before, it was never you whenever skill bullies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing's gonna change debo with game. So no, I'm not
Speaker 1: worried at all. I know you I know back with
Speaker 1: a D Man, I was sick when I got hurt
Speaker 1: this summer. I'm just like, I'm like, okay, we're about
Speaker 1: to get busy. And we got l too, We're about
Speaker 1: to get busy. Injury after injury after injury. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: and then so you're not playing now you're injured, and
Speaker 1: then off the court life which I can speak fully
Speaker 1: to you know, my my relationships have been public drag
Speaker 1: drag messes. Um, you get into a situation where a
Speaker 1: recording is released out there, Um about a situation with
Speaker 1: you and you're one of the mother of your children

Speaker 1: whatever I'm going through. Um, James didn't work out the
Speaker 1: way I wanted it to for my day, you know.
Speaker 1: You I was upset, so you know I said some
Speaker 1: things I shouldn't have said. But that person knew what
Speaker 1: it was coming from, right. Um. I mean I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of things, heard a lot of stuff. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. I'm a hundred against you know, domestic violence,
Speaker 1: like a hundred percent. I watched my mother go through
Speaker 1: that as a child, So when it comes to that,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm the first advocate for that. But with that
Speaker 1: being said, you know I said the wrong thing. He
Speaker 1: did a moment. We've all that, and we've all I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, when it comes to kids like and like
Speaker 1: you people. My mom said, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: But it come to your kids, it's just nothing you
Speaker 1: gonna do. It's a whole another situation. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: every back with kids can speak on that. But it
Speaker 1: was still wrong. So what did you learn from it?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna knocking my head off over mind buck all that.
Speaker 1: I don't y'all whoever feel about it, mine, I'm knocking
Speaker 1: your head off. I ain't apologize for ship. I don't

Speaker 1: So I'm off at school, she home, vice versa. So
Speaker 1: I'm watching the kids, my brother watching the kids. Like
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, We figured it out, you
Speaker 1: know how we're doing. But just her work ethic, like
Speaker 1: that's all. I if it's one thing that I can
Speaker 1: always remember about my mom is that like she grinded,
Speaker 1: like yeah, and I'm like me growing up, I'm like,
Speaker 1: how can I not right? How can I not go hard?
Speaker 1: And not saying I knew I was going to the NBA,
Speaker 1: because I didn't, but I don't, like I know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna keep some paper in my pockets or nothing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And I guess that kind
Speaker 1: of carries over there. You know the same thing with
Speaker 1: ball for me, like this is a NonStop grund. People
Speaker 1: just see, you know, the fame, the glamor of the money,
Speaker 1: the cause. You know, they don't see that ground behind
Speaker 1: the scene. It's a lot of talented ball players out here,
Speaker 1: but it ain't. It ain't many last and ten fifteen
Speaker 1: in the league. It ain't. It may not be because
Speaker 1: of talent. It may not be because and that fast enough.
Speaker 1: They can't handle the ground like it's a commitment. Ain't
Speaker 1: off the court, No, the mental it's a lot we
Speaker 1: don't know. A bunch of times like how this dude
Speaker 1: not in the league at ground like no other. And
Speaker 1: they don't teach you how to prepare for you can't.
Speaker 1: It's either ain't you or it ain't. It can't be
Speaker 1: talk to you a blueprint. It's right about that. Take
Speaker 1: me back to Kentucky. You got to have some amazing
Speaker 1: teams there, Coach Kyle, guys you played with it went
Speaker 1: on and playing the league and touching me with what
Speaker 1: the experience was like there. I was on the best.
Speaker 1: Just that's probably one of my favorite part of my
Speaker 1: entire basketballers dope like I had. That's one time where
Speaker 1: I just could be myself, just let my hair down,
Speaker 1: like just have fun, playing back to be a kid,
Speaker 1: like all of that combined. The one was that experience,
Speaker 1: so by far the best moment by far. What did
Speaker 1: you learn from Coach kyl You're growing up quick? You
Speaker 1: ain't You ain't hear the babysitting and you see how
Speaker 1: I go next? Man, that's a machine. Make your man
Speaker 1: and get your Yeah, you got a year to become
Speaker 1: a man, not even a year, bablon. Yeah. Man up
Speaker 1: fall into somebody coming out and you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So and I feel like that's that play a part,
Speaker 1: like you know, the hustle mentality, Like who's that with you?
Speaker 1: Jay wall E, bled Patrick Patterson, Darius Miller, DeAndre Liggolds,
Speaker 1: Daniel Orton, Josh Harrelson. What is it about Kentucky that
Speaker 1: it's like a fine oil machine? You plug and play,
Speaker 1: you do what you do when you go to the league.
Speaker 1: What is it about there? The school with the cow
Speaker 1: is it obvious talent? I mean the school is just
Speaker 1: you know, the name on the front, but I mean
Speaker 1: it's the talent. The talent is the influence. Cow is
Speaker 1: the influence. And see what I can do with each
Speaker 1: kid you trust in me. I'm gonna get you to
Speaker 1: where you want to beat and we're gonna win games
Speaker 1: and kick ass at the same time. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So this the influence. They on Kentucky just
Speaker 1: came out with like a list, like the most influential
Speaker 1: players the past decade. A d John myself. This goes along,
Speaker 1: but it's just crazy to see like this is in
Speaker 1: ten years and it's like, I'm like, damn, I forgot
Speaker 1: to even win here. So it was dope to see
Speaker 1: it was dope. It's a factory. I think you're one
Speaker 1: of the most misunderstood people. I think we touched on
Speaker 1: it early, and I think that's why you and I
Speaker 1: got along, because it's our passion and competitiveness to win
Speaker 1: jack same way, and then our emotion get the best
Speaker 1: of us. So we all here cutting our refs or
Speaker 1: almost getting in fights, and people look at you as
Speaker 1: a a thug or a bad personality or someone you
Speaker 1: can't win with. Explain your passion for the game to
Speaker 1: people that don't know that just think you're like they thought.
Speaker 1: I was just an asshole when I start off, from
Speaker 1: the beginning, I was always I've always had older like
Speaker 1: homies or older I was always around older like older guys,
Speaker 1: the O g s, whatever the case may be. So
Speaker 1: when it came to who I was bigger as a kid,
Speaker 1: I was a baby, but it was bigger. You gotta
Speaker 1: gonna play with them. I'm playing with the teenagers grown in,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have to do a little extra, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You you develop a different type
Speaker 1: of you get better, you get better, but you got
Speaker 1: to come with a different type of aggression. You ain't
Speaker 1: just out there being cool. So that's how I started
Speaker 1: playing ball. That's why I played with the aggression that
Speaker 1: I do play with. So with that being said, I
Speaker 1: love to win. I hate to lose more than I
Speaker 1: love to win. So if I feel like in a
Speaker 1: way you affected me winning this game, you and my
Speaker 1: way brand, I ain't feeling you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So that's just my approach when it comes to the game.
Speaker 1: It maybe the rev it may be another player, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, But you in my way right now?
Speaker 1: Are you affecting the outcome that I wanted this game,
Speaker 1: So you may not get a good reaction. I know
Speaker 1: I've been there. Matt was your teammate. What was it
Speaker 1: like being teammates with this character? I was a teammate
Speaker 1: with him, Golden State. You know, have a good time, party,
Speaker 1: win game. We won games though, we made history together
Speaker 1: like a motherfucker. But what was What do you like
Speaker 1: as a teammates beside of the asshole? He was so chill?
Speaker 1: Stop lying, I'm really not lying the chillers, dude of it.
Speaker 1: You know, the same slick comment I got. I probably
Speaker 1: got one of those once a day, not even a
Speaker 1: good morning. Is what's up, fat ass? What's up? Whatever?
Speaker 1: What's up here? Motherfucker? By the way, you's looking good
Speaker 1: these days? Nick, the barbers didn't care of you. Shout
Speaker 1: out to raise the blade Chaps, Blade Chap making miracles
Speaker 1: happen over here. Boy, I'm bouncing back. Hey, um So,
Speaker 1: who you love playing against? Like? Who is somebody you
Speaker 1: love going up against? We all got guys that that
Speaker 1: takes there in our career. Who's that guy for you?
Speaker 1: It was always a d oh, Yeah, I knew I
Speaker 1: had to come out and bumph. I knew he felt
Speaker 1: the same way. That's about far my favorite. Like after
Speaker 1: that I won. Really, what's the biggest game y'all had
Speaker 1: against each other? Do you remember? Numbers wise? I almost
Speaker 1: had like a forty point trip dub. You don't want
Speaker 1: to admit it. You know what it is. You know
Speaker 1: I used to like you say, like to see player
Speaker 1: against because y'all told my favorite big man. Oh man.
Speaker 1: I used to love bumping. I love saying I play
Speaker 1: when I play Zebo, I know that night they're gonna
Speaker 1: let us play. Yeah, you're gonna get like some old
Speaker 1: school nineties I love he said the one ship he
Speaker 1: said in my hood, bullies get bulled off. Y'all split. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's one of the most underrated players ever.
Speaker 1: Now and ten we got we gotta get my show.
Speaker 1: He just moved to my neighborhood. Zo, we're coming for
Speaker 1: you want to come on the Big Three? I got
Speaker 1: a Captains by Zebo. He don't get me about no
Speaker 1: Big Three. He might not know I love who he
Speaker 1: might love who like I do win VP. What you
Speaker 1: mean that's ten years after that? You got Al Jefferson
Speaker 1: and guys like that. I know, motherfucker's play Choppers Zebo
Speaker 1: like last year. Just dude got me like easy, No,
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is crazy. He's still doing it.
Speaker 1: That was when he was in Sack. Gave me a
Speaker 1: name thirty. That's the same game matter fact. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was it. Yeah, I want to say it was. He
Speaker 1: was getting busy out there that night. Game a nice
Speaker 1: little forty though I can't jump up with a a piece
Speaker 1: of paper, but get buckets facts. Let's transition a little
Speaker 1: bit away from sports and talk to me about the
Speaker 1: stuff on Clark. Stuff that that you know, I think
Speaker 1: you and I both did a lot for, but it's
Speaker 1: not something we really spoke on. But the social justice
Speaker 1: component in you and in the giving back in you
Speaker 1: and what you will always try to do with every
Speaker 1: community he touched. Bro, I've watched this cycle just just
Speaker 1: over and over and over and people in my neighborhood, people,
Speaker 1: and I got a little homie that I was watching
Speaker 1: grow up in Sack and JA or now like it's
Speaker 1: just a nine ending psychle and it's like nobody really
Speaker 1: has an answer. But what can I do to help? You?
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying, Like I'm gonna bring some joity
Speaker 1: of life. I'm gonna if you're looking for advice, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna talk to you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: drop some knowledge on you. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like it if it's an opportunity, if you need inspiration,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, Like, what is it that's
Speaker 1: gonna help it? And I'm just tired of seeing it.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of seeing it. And I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: watch talented dudes. Just I had a teammate shout out
Speaker 1: KT like six nine could guard every position on the floor.
Speaker 1: He locked up. Now he had a horrible life, horrible
Speaker 1: life orphan you know, grew up tough like group on,
Speaker 1: group on, group up, So we had it bad, but
Speaker 1: you know he had ball. Was it a reality for
Speaker 1: him that, you know, maybe as an NBA probably not
Speaker 1: growing up where we find that type of stuff don't happen.
Speaker 1: You don't see those happening every day, So I can
Speaker 1: I can totally understand where And it was the same
Speaker 1: thing for me. It's like it's it can't be a
Speaker 1: reality like me going to the NBA, no matter how
Speaker 1: many people was telling me, Like I don't know about
Speaker 1: then n N N B A like that ain't happening,
Speaker 1: So it's not a reality. And what their reality is banging,
Speaker 1: selling drugs, robbing, you know, whatever the case may be,
Speaker 1: that that is their realities all we really know. So
Speaker 1: it's like what one of my good friends back home,
Speaker 1: he tell me, shout out a little tell me all
Speaker 1: the time. It's like, bro, what you're doing, Like, ain't
Speaker 1: nobody never seen this? Um, you've been to my block
Speaker 1: parties and like people never seen that. I'm bringing free performance,
Speaker 1: is free food, free music, giveaways, it's a combination of stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's like just mind blowing to these people. They've
Speaker 1: never seen it, and it's like the great Now, I
Speaker 1: can't wait till the next They got something to look
Speaker 1: forward to. They're putting on their flies closed like this
Speaker 1: is an event, like this is you know, and it's
Speaker 1: just a day in the park. But they've never seen
Speaker 1: it before. It's not a reality for them. M hm.
Speaker 1: So how can I help? And that's really how I
Speaker 1: go about it. I wish people could understand because, like
Speaker 1: I said, I mean that's why I think, really you
Speaker 1: and I get along so wes because we're so safe
Speaker 1: as far as the stuff we do off the court,
Speaker 1: the reputation we had on the court, but then the
Speaker 1: people we really are, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 1: I said, I think, and like I said, Jack the
Speaker 1: same way I mean, we wear a heart on our sleeve.
Speaker 1: But we love people, We love peace, we love happiness.
Speaker 1: We'll fight a motherfucking the heartbeat. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 1: about out. We made it through circumstances we shouldn't have
Speaker 1: made it through. So now it's only right for us
Speaker 1: to give back and give people hope and let people
Speaker 1: see that hey ship the same thing you did. I did,
Speaker 1: you know, strive for it. I grew up the same
Speaker 1: way you did. I just chosen got lucky enough to
Speaker 1: go to the right path. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I tell people there's nothing. We don't give a funk though, huh,
Speaker 1: We're gonnaive a funk about nothing. Though at the same time,
Speaker 1: I can't let it keep it moving. We are we
Speaker 1: already said on our earlier shows, if anybody got some
Speaker 1: funks to give, you need to loan or something, because
Speaker 1: we all out of I'm in the negatives you I'm
Speaker 1: ready there, which I'm in the negatives. I tell people
Speaker 1: that there's nothing in there's no experience like being a
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Laker. Talk with that, like, bro, nothing you
Speaker 1: can't understand unless you're just you're in it, and I'm
Speaker 1: just a gudness and I'm giving love, like it's crazy
Speaker 1: just to have your name in the Lakes. Like even me,
Speaker 1: I played, you know, I've been in the league. You know,
Speaker 1: it's America's team. It's America's team. So it's just it's
Speaker 1: I'm getting from everywhere like all people, and I don't
Speaker 1: even the world, just everywhere the Lakers places. I've never
Speaker 1: even been. So it's dope. What was it was nothing
Speaker 1: like it like playing. We were talking off camera, like
Speaker 1: you said, you're out there, you're you know right now
Speaker 1: you're watching. But I'm saying, you look around and it's
Speaker 1: just movie stars, rappers and other athletes. It's incredible. It's
Speaker 1: entertainment watching entertainment being entertained at the highest level, at
Speaker 1: the highest level, like I've never seen anything like. I mean,
Speaker 1: Kim and Kanye was two feet from my bench, like
Speaker 1: last night. It was just like it's just crazy, like
Speaker 1: crazy that, I mean, I got the chance to play
Speaker 1: like I said, we went. I have my back and forth,
Speaker 1: but I got a chance to play with Code and
Speaker 1: the things and the places we went and the recognition
Speaker 1: we got, like we both also got to go on
Speaker 1: sate experience. And to me that's probably a one B
Speaker 1: because them dudes with rock stars in themselves, but just
Speaker 1: being a Laker, yeah, it's a whole nothing Like how
Speaker 1: do you, I guess, stay in tune, stay focused, be
Speaker 1: a supportive teammate? How do you how do you get
Speaker 1: your fulfillment in the game right now that you're not playing. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm enjoying watching these guys enjoyed. We got so
Speaker 1: many stories on our team. Is like the way your
Speaker 1: team came together yeas I mean white, Like they didn't
Speaker 1: drunk this dude through the mud. Like just to see
Speaker 1: him having the year he's having and you know, having
Speaker 1: fun and enjoying basketball, shoting threes, shooting threes, he jumping
Speaker 1: like five and that's my partner, Like I funk with
Speaker 1: the Whitton like that is my homie bro Like so
Speaker 1: and could I have said that before? Because you know
Speaker 1: with one you know how him about every big Like
Speaker 1: I feel a certain type of way they with me,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But you know it was
Speaker 1: that and you know, you just hear stuff about about
Speaker 1: people and the worst thing we do is judge, like
Speaker 1: we judge before we ever meet, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I got to me that's my caller ship. I
Speaker 1: love that dude, bro, coolest dude ever. So like we
Speaker 1: just got so many stories and I mean it's just
Speaker 1: been fun to watch. They called Pope you know he
Speaker 1: in history, right, you know he was in history and
Speaker 1: history books for this boy hooped an NBA game with
Speaker 1: the ankle miner zone. Nobody lives he's a cheap he
Speaker 1: did do that. It seems like the chemistry over there
Speaker 1: a second to none, like you guys are genuinely have.
Speaker 1: When I see you smiling and laughing, it is like
Speaker 1: I've never been a part of a team like this,
Speaker 1: Like let's just take away to win, and you know,
Speaker 1: just the vibe of the team, like if we move,
Speaker 1: it's the game one through fifteen. That was the game
Speaker 1: We're going to one dude going to the movies. Were
Speaker 1: all going to win that way. If that say that
Speaker 1: should translates to the court. But that's the thing about it.
Speaker 1: And I've heard that, but it's not forced, No, not
Speaker 1: at all. I'm coming to it's it's just I've never
Speaker 1: seen it. If we go to do and it's one
Speaker 1: through fifteen, I was paying the Lakers the car dripping.
Speaker 1: Tell us what it's like playing with Lebron, I mean,
Speaker 1: and just being around is being around him watching I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously I grew up a Lebron fan, like I grew
Speaker 1: up watching Bro. I went to his camps like so
Speaker 1: I was always you hear that, that's crazy. That is so.
Speaker 1: I grew up a fan of him in general. But
Speaker 1: to get to know him off the court, like he
Speaker 1: a real dude, sir like, and it's and I coming
Speaker 1: in I did not expect that. I mean, I've always
Speaker 1: seen like I guess you could say the corporate Lebron,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and not to say he
Speaker 1: really faking it, but but he's your real Niger. You
Speaker 1: could we could say you might not because you're still
Speaker 1: playing facts, you know what I'm saying. And I'm just
Speaker 1: like Rocks would like a real dude. And I always say,
Speaker 1: down the earth, down the earth, face of the league
Speaker 1: we've ever had. But I told him the other day,
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, he probably don't get pissed. And he
Speaker 1: saying bro Thern for president. If there's anybody, I believe it.
Speaker 1: If there's any NBA player, Lebron Jack, I vote on
Speaker 1: no question, definitely, and he gonna do it the right way.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously that's just me talking in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Probably feel totally different, but I think you could do it.
Speaker 1: He has that type of impact, influence and just being
Speaker 1: a genuine person. I think that's gonna take you doing.
Speaker 1: He understands it. He came from me. He grew up
Speaker 1: the same way. You know, you can't beat that. Jack
Speaker 1: always likes to say, um, the biggest segment, But no,
Speaker 1: not at all that Frank Vogel is the coach with
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd is to coach, you ain't got to say
Speaker 1: doing a great job to j kidds. So you still
Speaker 1: think it's his You think it's Jay Kid's team. What
Speaker 1: you think is who's the coach the kids? That'saw a
Speaker 1: person I see over there. You don't see no no
Speaker 1: other Lia Hollins, Oh Vogel, yea. I'm just saying in
Speaker 1: front of the market, I like their kids. I like
Speaker 1: Ja Kid That's all I'm saying. What has been like?
Speaker 1: What has it been like watching? Because I've been on
Speaker 1: both sides of it, the battle with the Clippers. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a Laker town. You guys got star studded roster,
Speaker 1: but they got a good ass team over there. What's
Speaker 1: have been like having to watch that and not putting
Speaker 1: your imprint on it? It's like being that's been lighting
Speaker 1: side of the restaurant and your homeboys outside having a
Speaker 1: gang fight at y'all fighting in the parking lot and
Speaker 1: you locked in the restaurant day. You can't get out
Speaker 1: and fight with him. That's what That's what they gotta
Speaker 1: feel like. You want to get out there and help
Speaker 1: your team fight. You don't want to. I know you
Speaker 1: want to smoke all of it. I don't want all that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all the smoke trailers out there, growling all mytherfucker's and
Speaker 1: dunking and shout out the trail. I like Tim, You
Speaker 1: mean as a dog, How can you not like him?
Speaker 1: Your dog? For sure? Ain't enough. We're ready to scratch that.
Speaker 1: We know you ready, we know you ready to scratch.
Speaker 1: That's That's what I go What I was saying, I
Speaker 1: love trailer that ain't know what's it been like? We've
Speaker 1: been getting a little clips. Are you here? And they're
Speaker 1: working out on the court with feel Handy. What's it
Speaker 1: like working with feelings? Feel nice? Feel now he's sick
Speaker 1: with it, bro like sick mind. Yeah, just the knowledge everything,
Speaker 1: everything is there. And on top of that, this is
Speaker 1: the biggest thing when it comes to trainers. If you
Speaker 1: can't demonstrated, you can't. He'll give you buckets right right
Speaker 1: now because I want you to do it like that,
Speaker 1: exactly like that. Yeah, you ain't trying. You know you've
Speaker 1: seen the t They can't do that. Yeah. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: gets down. So it's like, all right, I know he
Speaker 1: know what he's talking about. And I mean just this
Speaker 1: track record alone, like every player he's working with, and
Speaker 1: how that game is grown, Like, he don't need me
Speaker 1: to before this track works before. So why can't we
Speaker 1: get feel hand in the Celebrity Allstar game? So he
Speaker 1: would cook feeling ain't trying to go out there. But
Speaker 1: whn't he cooked? Though? Man feel cooked? He would definitely
Speaker 1: killed cook to feel. I don't even want feel to
Speaker 1: go out there. You don't my work out, my bad
Speaker 1: promoting them type about Okay, we got about that. He
Speaker 1: can work you out earlier, then go get that hoop.
Speaker 1: And that's talking about this dude hurt himselves. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get my working. Yeah, gotta feel thinking, feel just be cool.
Speaker 1: But we got things to work on. Man. The evolution
Speaker 1: of the game has changed to where throwing the ball
Speaker 1: down on the block doesn't really exist no more. You're
Speaker 1: one of the few players that really is dominant on
Speaker 1: the low post. Fucking stretch it out. Tell me where
Speaker 1: that came. That's how do you develop that in your game? Lock?
Speaker 1: I always shoot, I always handled like but you know,
Speaker 1: I came in a different area the NBA, where it's like,
Speaker 1: if you were a post player, you in the post
Speaker 1: regardless of your other abilities. They didn't believe in center
Speaker 1: shooting threes and everything like that. So, um, I came
Speaker 1: in that era. So and it's it's quite ironic. How
Speaker 1: am I? Well, I'm gonna say how I got the
Speaker 1: confidence to do it in games? George carb one of
Speaker 1: the great basketball mind, one of the worst coaches I've
Speaker 1: ever had. But that's crazy those handed right? So was
Speaker 1: it one more on you? I'm just gonna shoot it? Nah?
Speaker 1: He wanted me came in telling me he wanted, you know,
Speaker 1: and shoot three. You got a good basketball, incredible mind.
Speaker 1: He's just the worst coach. This is everything that comes
Speaker 1: with the package. Yeah, like all credit, George. You know,
Speaker 1: I'll shoot a couple of threes here and there, but
Speaker 1: he really like, I need you to go out there
Speaker 1: and do it all. I need you to shoot three
Speaker 1: four a game. And I'm just like, I've been watching
Speaker 1: leggas Player a lot though, Man, y'all kind of go
Speaker 1: back to that little style a lot because Braun be
Speaker 1: posting up a lot, y'all throw it about down at
Speaker 1: the A D Do I get his touches? We got
Speaker 1: a big team, but that's what I'm saying. But your
Speaker 1: team been so big, y'all going back to the old
Speaker 1: style a little bit, and I know towards the playoffs,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be your money. Shit, you bron can drop
Speaker 1: it down there. Everybody get out the way that is
Speaker 1: playoff basketball. It's find is bro. It's gonna be gonna
Speaker 1: be some bump for So what have you learned watching
Speaker 1: this team in particular as far as where you think
Speaker 1: you'll fit in and how you can impact the game. Man,
Speaker 1: we got so many guys with different abilities it. I mean, Brian,
Speaker 1: I can spot up Bron gonna draw every everybody whenever
Speaker 1: you decide and moving. I'm pretty confident I can knock
Speaker 1: down the shot. We got shooters all over the floor.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can play made like this, like pick
Speaker 1: your poison. It's gonna be uggy. I gotta one of
Speaker 1: the best playmakers too. Besides Brot go to score a
Speaker 1: like he can score anywhere on the floor. Don't mean
Speaker 1: to pick your whatever you want to do that night.
Speaker 1: I can picture eight you and Bran and a DNA
Speaker 1: pick and roll, a d popping and you ducking in
Speaker 1: pick your poison. That's what I'm saying. You can't and
Speaker 1: you can't do to switch basketball. That's the one thing
Speaker 1: you can't because I mean, it's almost it's a one
Speaker 1: through four, one through five switching games. I'm but they

Speaker 1: left the team that doesn't need him to win the championship.
Speaker 1: Get him. It can't be that the Warriors picked that.
Speaker 1: You one expecting this one up. Oh my god, they're
Speaker 1: gonna start five all stars. You got a big backlash
Speaker 1: even among other NBA players, being like, come on, man,

Speaker 1: to go with that size and strength. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: lethal combination. He's now up to fifty tech people fouls.
Speaker 1: The emotions take control and we all fought victim of
Speaker 1: that as basketball players. The persona of DeMarcus is that
Speaker 1: he's a problem, he's a head case. But once you
Speaker 1: get to know DeMarcus, you know that's not the case.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're on top of the world playing
Speaker 1: basketball on the biggest stage. He just got hurt that
Speaker 1: he's nice. It was over and the moment I was
Speaker 1: just hoping I was waking up from a dream. This
Speaker 1: an injury is no joke. It can kill careers. Once
Speaker 1: you're painted as a bad guy in the NBA, that's
Speaker 1: what you are, de Marcus. People don't realize it. He's
Speaker 1: very sensitive. You want to be great at anything. It
Speaker 1: starts with a committee. My satisfaction comes from, you know,
Speaker 1: it's helping as many people as I can. This is
Speaker 1: the Democrats that the media never see. I got so
Speaker 1: caught up in this rehab process, just uncertainty, rex my nerves.
Speaker 1: You have a choice. Are you're gonna feel sorry for
Speaker 1: yourself or you're gonna say no what I'm gonna get up,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fight. I ain't do everything the right way.
Speaker 1: I know what type of player I want to be,
Speaker 1: and I determined my work. I won't let an injury
Speaker 1: do that. He has a chance to write his own story.
Speaker 1: Now what do you want the story to be? You
Speaker 1: gotta go through a storm to find some sunshine. M
Speaker 1: hm hm
