00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: and when I came number one, I always kept that mind,

219
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: grading that aggression to be hunted, like I never took

220
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: a back seat, but you had me. John Hood was Dave,

221
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: he ain't going the first round. It was me, john Hood,

222
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: Daniel Oron, Darnelle Dawson, de Marcus Cousin, Air Blessed. We

223
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: all wanted to Kentucky that one year, bringing back Patrick Patterson,

224
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: Perry Stevenson, Mark Krabs and those guys and Josh Harriston.

225
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: We always wanted to get Jody Me to come back

226
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: because we feel like we would be under feet that

227
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: we brought Jody back. You know, Jody was tough the

228
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: year before and we need another shooter, and he got

229
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: promised something in the draft to go a certain place.

230
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: But out of all those guys I named, five of

231
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: us were in the first round first.

232
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: Time, five first time.

233
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: And Kyle told me when I got there, he was like,

234
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: we know you leaving, but don't leave by yourself. I'm

235
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: like what you mean, Like, I'm nice, but I don't

236
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: think I could take nobody else with me. Like he

237
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be in school four years. De

238
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: Marcus wasn't even on the board at the time, so

239
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: he thought he was gonna do two three years. And

240
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: I've seen how dominant de Marcus was before, Like what

241
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: the biggest doing now? He was doing it then, but

242
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: it was a different game with the big man. And

243
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: I went to the draft cow like we all leave it.

244
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: And one thing I respected about Cayl he was like

245
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: DeMarcus accent was like, I'm thinking about coming back from

246
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: the year he asked me. I was like, hell no,

247
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Like I've been broke for eighteen years of mauth. I

248
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: love it. I get a chance to go somewhere and cale, like,

249
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: if you want to take care of my family, you

250
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: will stay another year. You want to take care of

251
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: your family, you're gonna leave. You know, you gotta respect

252
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: it because a lot of coaches want and that's what

253
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: I respect the cal.

254
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: A lot of coaches a lot to you. Yeah, I

255
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: think he's gonna be like second round, or you might

256
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: be trying to keep.

257
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: You in school, or they gonna tell you when you

258
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: about to commit, hey man, you're gonna have a ball

259
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the time. Like that's what won my

260
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: mom over on my visit when Kyle came to me,

261
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: because she was like, he adn't talk about basketball, you

262
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: just talked about life. Because I'm like, I know I'm

263
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna get there. Like, but once you signed on that

264
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: dot of line, that shit changes. A lot of these

265
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: kids be picking schools, and I tell these young kids

266
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: all the time, don't pick a school because your agent

267
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: wants you to go there, or your mom wants you

268
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: to go there, or your au coach want to go there,

269
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: because when shipping on pan out.

270
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 3: They're gonna for it.

271
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: But if I picked the school and it don't work

272
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: for me, all right, I made it hitting.

273
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: So I just had this conversation three years ago now

274
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: with my oldest son second years or whatever it was.

275
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: He was asking me what school us go to. I said,

276
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna tell you. I'll give you my opinion,

277
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: but you gotta make it for yourself, because no matter

278
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: where you go, it's gonna be fucked up. They're gonna

279
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: be they're gonna be a little I'm telling you it's

280
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: gonna happen. You're gonna go there and something's gonna happen.

281
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: And if I helped you pick the school, or you

282
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: think I picked the school for you, you're gonna like,

283
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: I gotta get out here. If you pick it for yourself,

284
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna fight through it. Man, that's what you just

285
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: gotta do.

Speaker 1: you'll never start for me. You never start for me.

311
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: So the rest of that day he put him at

312
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: half court. So if you don't like, if you get

313
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: in trouble, do anything, you don't run, you shit at

314
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: half court while the rest of the team run. So

315
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: we're looking at him like, man, we want to fight

316
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: him fighting bull, Like, unless we all jumping, we ain't

317
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: fighting on one on one. So the next day he

318
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: finally finished, but his feet was on fire. He thought

319
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: his mom. He's like, man, I'm thinking about transfer. I

320
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: won't go back home. I said, man, I ain't leaving.

321
00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure this out.

322
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: And they finish. Shout out the bull because I still

323
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 4: ain't finished.

324
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: Are you?

325
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 3: Finally, he would fish.

326
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: And you would have been a cow dog house city

327
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: to day. You probably have paid.

328
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: Five minutes game. No, no, he finished, He lied, Yes

329
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,160

00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: Our school we had the same thing twenty and twenty

332
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: and our older our old practice facility was like a cage,

333
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: like a cage around it. That was Florida before they

334
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: became Florida had a cage up there. And he's on

Speaker 2: many you might have. I don't know what number is.

337
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: The number could be off a little bit, but he's

338
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,080

00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: last time I was like, man, I never thought about

342
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: he was about it. He was about to kill me.

343
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: He was grabbed on that cage like. I was like,

344
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,319

345
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: little more different than that.

346
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,000

Speaker 1: was different because we did a twenty suicide twenty minutes

351
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,199

Speaker 4: maybe the.

363
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:30,760

00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: like I'm never gonna shoot coat none. He was solid,

467
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: like he was just a guy that was a hard worker,

468
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: like he never thought he was gonna be at that

469
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: point from what I heard from the interview he was saying,

470
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: and he just worked his way. I remember Truck Brown

471
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: was they started plunking h I'm not mistaken, but he

472
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: was injured and now he was supposed to come back

473
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: from that game for that game, but he didn't, and

474
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: I think they held him out another game. And Joe

475
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: was just I mean, we were just playing the percentages

476
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: like he wasn't a great three point shooter from what

477
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: the statistics said, and he's the reason why they beat

478
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: this because they ran he played well. Deshaun Butler played

479
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: with All American first team All American shot out to

480
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: him and he did the one that told by hugging

481
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: about the one three one, and he was like, yo,

482
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: try and try because they started off a man against

483
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: us and we was having a field day. They want

484
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: one three one. They had a lot of limbs.

485
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: So he was coaching back then.

486
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: He told about huggling about it and told him about it.

487
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, Like we couldn't make no three.

488
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: We started off like oh for twenty And we.

489
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: Talked about this before we came out here, that don't

490
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: that's Syracuse, don't.

491
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: Man. I wanted to feel like I'm not the only

492
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: one that feels like if you're not used to playing there,

493
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: that's a hard place to shoot as.

494
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: A shooter, is like the hoops or floating out there.

495
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: And for us, that's one thing we always was worried

496
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: about us, like not having a great shoot you know

497
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: what I mean, Because we was a great team, but

498
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: we just wasn't a great shooting team and that was

499
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: the one thing we worried about and that's what haunted us.

500
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: So shout out to Bob Huggling West Virginia and Jonazul there.

501
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I hate talking about that. That's just still

502
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: haunt me to this day because I wanted to win

503
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: the national championship.

504
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 4: So trust I know the feeling. I know the feeling.

505
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm still thinking about them five threes. My

506
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: team please hit same thing though bro Scott reports statistically

507
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 4: he's not supposed to be able to do this. This

508
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 4: is what we want him to do. Man hopped to

509
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 4: the back, hurt his ankle, and hopped back out of

510
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 4: made five threes and the rest was history.

511
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: I guess it was just a moment.

512
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: It was. It was what they said margin Mads one shin,

513
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: one shoting moment.

514
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: It was like for.

515
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: Us, it was like we didn't know if dude was

516
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: gonna win, but like we just had a feel they was.

517
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: And we wanted to play Dukes so bad because Kle

518
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: never got to play against coach k you know, I mean,

519
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: that's played next. And it was sad because the Sean

520
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: Butling had a great running get towards a game and

521
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: it was and it was it would have been perfect

522
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: us because it was in Indiana. Guess what it is

523
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: for a quick drive down. It would have been amazing.

524
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: Like, so you brought up one shot in the moment

525
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: you brought up March madness. Your Kentucky team that's there now,

526
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: pretty damn good, bro.

527
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, Uh, what do you think about them going to

528
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: the tournament?

529
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: Uh? For me, I think the only thing I always

530
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: say about them, they got all the fire. Probably they

531
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: have enough depth with big guards, they shoot, probably win

532
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: the best shooting team in the league. The only thing

533
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: I said about them miss and I know Cal is

534
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: harping on his very hardest lockdown on defense. They locked

535
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: down deficially and become a great defensive team, like right before.

536
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: Right now they have a great chance to win it

537
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: all because they don't have nothing on the office and

538
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: they miss it. It's just defensively they got a lock.

539
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 3: Is the NBA trickling down to college right now?

540
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: Because I'm never in my in my entire career seeing

541
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 2: college teams like good ones like the Kentucky's, the Alabama,

542
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: like the SEC's flight level teams are scoring one hundred regularly.

543
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, it's crazy, there's no It's like to me,

544
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: for real, I feel like it's really no defense.

545
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: But as I'm saying, It's wild to me though, because

546
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: I think about it as good as you guys were

547
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: five number one.

548
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: We probably act like seventy five. When I first came

549
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: into the league, the first team in eighty was winning.

550
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 2: Like now I'm watching I'm watching these games one hundred

551
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: and nine to I'm like, what the he what am

552
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: I miss?

553
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: You got a team that got eighty eighty five and

554
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: a half. That's what I mean. When I plays came

555
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: into that team, you got eighty. You winning the game,

556
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: You're winning the game.

557
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 4: Win that game.

558
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: So like you go back to that, not even jumping ahead.

559
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: You go to a star game, like you score two

560
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: hundred eleven points.

561
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: That was crazy, you.

562
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: See, But but one team shot eighty eight threes.

563
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 4: That was crazy.

564
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean threes you would you would your your career?

565
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: Would you have if you're shooting fifteen to twenty three

566
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: the game, like these guys are shooting twelve to fifteen

567
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: three the game.

568
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: And me and Ray Allen had this conversation because me

569
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: and Ray were both kind of like the nuts, like

570
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 2: we always were in the gym shooting and so we'd

571
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: always bound stuff back and forth, and that was one

572
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: of the things me and Ray talked about is like

573
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: you're reading a scout report now and you're going to

574
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: play a team, especially at D'Antoni team or whatever, and

575
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 2: you're you're looking at it. Dudes averaging eleven threes attempt

576
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: at the game, shooting thirty three percent, Like we're hot.

577
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: Guys, like you run them off the line.

578
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, damn with me and Ray were coming

579
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: through at the beginning of our careers, especially the first

580
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: five or six Like if you weren't shooting forty plus,

581
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: you didn't shoot more than two a game, Like coach me, Like,

582
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: damn what you're shooting at three four?

583
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Some guys don't even get eleven

584
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: shots the whole game. No, some guys shooting eleven threes,

585
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: they still getting twelve fifty more shots.

586
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm like, I'm like Rondo. Remember Rondo said he

587
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 4: get to fight them things up and he made one

588
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: out of ten. I'm five up to Like that's the

589
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 4: game now.

590
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: That's it's all that. Like if I shoot, if I

591
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: only shoot three and I only make one, I don't

592
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: make nothing' have a bad paying. But if I get

593
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: to shoot ten and twelve make four. So it's gonna

594
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: look at it. So the game is definitely expanding and

595
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: one to a whole nother world. But we'll talk about that.

596
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 4: We can talk about Florida getting that win and reparenta

597
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 4: real quick to this year.

598
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all good.

599
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 4: I ain't never wanted.

600
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: But but you know, I go through this problem with

601
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: Brandley Bilker. He was from Florida, so I had to

602
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: do it. So we used to do the same thing.

603
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 4: You and Thayland Bam, but Tyler bamaon't pay me.

604
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: Just let you know the automatic bet Yeah automatic.

605
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: Yes, automatic, so all your automatic.

606
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: So even though even we know every year we're doing

607
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: doing that, I don't want to smoke.

608
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to smoke. I'm a hurricane when a

609
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 4: come to football. I'm just being honest. When the Comet

610
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: of footballing paid my money though, let's we can see

611
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 4: for sure because they still me and it's crazy that

612
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 4: they maxed out and they don't pay me one hundred dollars.

613
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Max out, max out computation, the max out on another level,

614
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: then ye max out on the whole numbers.

615
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: But going but going into that, like you know, we

616
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: were just talking about the Kentucky's I'll be honest, I

617
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 2: would not want to prepare for them in two days,

618
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 2: like they're gonna have a huge advantage because of you know,

619
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: if they can get through the either the Thursday, Friday

620
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: A both days of both weeks, like they're a final

621
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: fourteen to me, because you prepare for them in one day,

622
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: you have no chance.

623
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: You get time to prepare for it might be a

624
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: little different right away.

625
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: Because you'll attack some of their stuff defensively and on

626
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 2: the glass, like you can do that, but as far

627
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: as like ball movement and pace and space and the

628
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: way they're shooting it, like.

629
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: They got like you got Antonio Reid, that could be

630
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: a first day All American, you got Reach, got djag,

631
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: you got just to add with this find his rhythm,

632
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: Bill had Ham, then you got all the big they

633
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: can find the rhythm. So like early on they had

634
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: a look like I went to the early game when

635
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: they could have been cand them but then you just

636
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: tell that it was young. But I was like, to

637
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: be in a game like this on that big stage,

638
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: like in first three or four games, you might lose it,

639
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: but you're building that confidence for later on. Yes, And

640
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: I think that's what kind of hurt us because like

641
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: we was like all those tests we got early when

642
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: I was there, we was winning. Like we had you

643
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: con in the garden with Kim but Ron Dice and

644
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: Stanley Robbers, you know what I mean. Yeah, Net, you

645
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: know we played Carolina had Larry Larry Drew, Market was

646
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: Marcus gen Yard, William Graves, John Henson, Tyler Zeller, Deon Thompson,

647
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Ed Davis. They had all those.

648
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: Guys you took when you took your trip to North Carolina.

649
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 4: So I heard this. I don't know if this is true.

650
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: I heard that you you kind of bumped into hands

651
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 4: Bur and he was kind of some of the reason

652
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 4: why you didn't choose North Carolina.

653
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: A little bit.

654
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like to me, I remember, like when I go

655
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: to Carolina, you stopped by football game, you know, you

656
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,560

Speaker 1: you got your own little section. Yeah, you know what

658
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean. Sometimes the older guys that's a star don't

659
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: want to say what's up to recruit. It's cool, like

660
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: that's not your recruit. You're not worried about hand that.

661
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: Handsbrough didn't do that.

662
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,400

676
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 4: That's crazy to me though, because at the end of

677
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 4: the day, whether you my recruit or not, you're still

678
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,560

691
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,600

695
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 2: for you, like everybody understand how it is guarding Giannis.

696
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,879

697
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: and build that wall. But you wasn't sixteen, but literally

698
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: when you got the damn ball, you better get back

699
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 2: and build a wall because he coming, he coming full

700
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: speed downhill and he getting to that paint and the

701

Speaker 2: league was different than obviously, like you say, now everybody

702
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: wants to get to that spacing, but you was getting

703
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:32,880

Speaker 4: That ship was like yo, listen, like it was like

711
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: a sense of urgency when John Wall had the ball

712
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 4: in transition, like that ship was on. That was the

713
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 4: top of the stout.

714
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 3: Handful of people out here to getting switched on him.

715
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: Uh. Jamal Crawford hated getting switched on the d Rose

716
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: Russ because back then, man, like you guys, it was

717
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: a physical part of it too, Like they like you

718
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: came at me full speed and it was like come on, man,

719
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: what am I?

720
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 4: I mean, Yeah, it was a match like you came.

721
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: I definitely appreciate that, Like I said, uh, just coming in,

722
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: Like you know, you get a high draft pick, you

723
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: go to a team that's not winning. I mean, so

724
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: you just try, like just talking a lot of OJ's

725
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: and oh head in the game. I always just trying

726
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: to figure out, Like I ain't trying to get customed

727
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: with losing. They're like, don't get custled with it's gonna change.

728
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: Just continue to do your work, continue to grind. And

729
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: I think just the physicality in the NBA, Like I

730
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: first came in, it's like you come across the lane,

731
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: they chucking your ass and ribs that ain't no foul

732
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: Like I came when it was physical, Yeah, and just

733
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: being there like every time I was on scouring port

734
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: like load up, load up, load up, and I'm like, damn,

735
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: like I'm just pushing pace push paces. Then I learned

736
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: how to change page, learn how to play a little

737
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: better develop but just playing against great, great teams. I mean,

738
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: just seeing how those teams are. Like we got to

739
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: focus in on him and like, all right, I'm doing

740
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: a great part for me to come in at just

741
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: seventeen and eight is a rookie man. I was like,

742
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: that's great, Like I'm making the right steps to where

743
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: I supposed to being. Like to get the respect and

744
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: the credit from all the OG's and the superstars there

745
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: was in league at the town was a blessing for me.

746
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: And like I always told people, like I don't compare

747
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: like when we first came into now, like because if

748
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: I came in the here and now, it would be like, damn,

749
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: what is this? Like you know what I mean. I'm like,

750
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: MVP d Rose is my rookie year. I was like, Damn,

751
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: I thought I was. I thought I was quicking. He

752
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: was on another level, you know what I mean. So

753
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: it was fun. It was a sign. It was a

754
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: great just to see like how the league was and

755
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: she everything that I've dreamed of to be in that

756
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: moment to play.

757
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, this is special. I just want

758
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 4: to know, like because I've never been in that situation.

759
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 4: But people always talk about the pressure. You're coming in

760
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 4: a number one pick, and it's basically here, this is

761
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: your organization. Take it and lead us there, Take us there. Like,

762
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 4: how what's the pressure of that? The mental because it's listen,

763
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: when we get on that basketball court, that's easy. Yeah,

764
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: but off the basketball court, I just understand that pressure

765
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 4: as a young man. You know what I'm saying, that

766
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: trying to lead an organization, pecially before you.

767
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: Answer, especially when you don't have a whole lot of

768
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 3: the control of it either. Yeah, yeah, I think just

769
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: you have pressure be number one pick and then you

770
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: get to pick guys.

771
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just what my mom instilled in me,

772
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Just like, always be known

773
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: as a greater person off the court than a basketball player.

774
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: That's what my mom always did. Like, people might love

775
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: you for your game, but when you're done, it's people

776
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: don't want to be around your people gon respect you.

777
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: That's what I always try to instill to myself. But

778
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: it was it was heavy, man, because you know what

779
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Like DC is like nobody know that's where

780
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: my dad was from. So like we drafted. That was amazing.

781
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: Then it's four hour drive from North Carolina. My family's

782
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: always coming up, that's all.

783
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 3: This is a four hour drive.

784
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, three and alfage, you don't do the speed limit,

785
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: but you know so you got there three Yeah sure,

786
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: but it was It was amazing though, because like I'm like, damn,

787
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: Like they really embraced an eighteen year old, nineteen ye

788
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: old kid with no face here and no kids to

789
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: come here and to put the city on his back

790
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: to where I got it to with the help. I

791
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: think it was amazing because I went from we wasn't

792
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: a playoff team, he wasn't winning, to touching the community.

793
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: That's what the most important thing with me was, Like

794
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: I know where they coming from from Section eight and warded.

795
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: I knew where they was coming from, what they didn't have.

796
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: So I'm like, how can I bless them more? Just

797
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: blessing them on the basketball court. So I think that's

798
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: why the people in DC love me and appreciate me

799
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: as much as they do. Yes, the one hundred and

800
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: Timberson I gave, like I was playing through every injury,

801
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: doing everything I could to try to win the championship,

802
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: just get the team to where I could get them

803
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: to the high level. But I think touching the people

804
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: in the community is what people are bracing. Like you said,

805
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand it. They think just

806
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: playing basketball and been between these four lines, that's it.

807
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: But we got all this ship. We gotta do outside this.

808
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: We don't just wake up and go to practice. We

809
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: got media attentions, we got photo shoots and family all this.

810
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: So it's been amazing.

811
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 4: It's been You ain't even nothing drink, No you handling

812
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: it and you carrying all shoulder.

813
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: When I went anywhere, I was no lie. I would

814
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: leave the practice for the arena and go to Hooters

815
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: every day right there, give me some and watch football.

816
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: But that's like what I was doing because I lived

817
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: like three blocks away. I'm like, I don't know where

818
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: else to go. He went to bun buns. Oh ye, well,

819
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: ain't got that in DC. I went to.

820
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 4: The office, one of those I'm a day shift guy.

821
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,400

Speaker 3: I think two years yeah, two years. Yeah, because that's

826
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: what I'm telling you. You guys.

827
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: You guys to me were unbelievable out in the playoffs

828
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: and it was fun to watch you guys talk about

829
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: that with Bradley Bill and.

830
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: It was a blessing man talk about the Gators.

831
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: For sure.

832
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: He was a special talent bro. He even played with

833
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: my boy Kenny Boy, and that was in My Kenny

834
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: Boy played Kenny Boy. Yeah, Florida Kid, American Heritage and

835
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: Ray Taylor. Yeah, I played against them and Brandon Knight

836
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: a team breakdown. Oh yeah, history. But just get him,

837
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: I knew, I especially was. I watched Brad a lot

838
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: of a you know, I mean, like one thing, I'm

839
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: a basketball junkie, Like I got a big TV and

840
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: I split you know, you got direct TV, go quiet switcher,

841
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: split that bitch before you. That's all I'm doing. So

842
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: if you catch me on a Sunday or after this later,

843
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 1: I'm doing that. But just to get Brad was amazing

844
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: because when he first came in, he was just a knockdown,

845
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: catching shoot guy and not really put the ball on

846
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: the floor as much. And he just kept developing development,

847
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: getting better and better, and he stays in the gym

848
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: when a big gym rat and then when I got injured,

849
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: he took us get into another level how to play

850
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: make more. Became really that superstar type of guy, and

851
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: uh shit, it was great to play with a guy

852
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: like that. I was hoping I got another opportunity to

853
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: get another run at it, but I ended up getting traded.

854
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: But the way he was, the way he developed in

855
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: his career, uh, the space he's at now, I just

856
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: hope he can stay healthy because he's a great piece

857
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: and can help Phoenix get to whatever they're trying to commis.

858
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: But he's a he's a special talent.

859
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: So you, Bradley Beal, and you touched on something before

860
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: we came on here that I think needs to be

861
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: said because you were in the workout when Klay Thompson

862
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: came in and you said something because could you imagine

863
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: your speed with those two dudes. You said that you're

864
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: telling him to take Clay. Yeah, I think called anybody out.

865
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I think we should have took for sure,

866
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: took Clay like youlet mean a sharp shooter, knowing he

867
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: could shoot the ball.

868
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: Like you said, this was how many shots in that workout?

869
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: One or two shots man. He was fired bro, So

870
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: like I knew play was special, could shoot it and

871
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: were the gay in the year before that that was

872
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: twenty eleven.

873
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: That's been a problems like and then.

874
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: Because like Clay was a good a great definiti at

875
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: the time to know, I mean, he was a great

876
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: definish so he probably would have played the three four

877
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: Braddy too. And then you have me, Nyna and Gordty

878
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: like it would have been amazing with the pick and

879
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: roll time.

880
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 4: I remember that had the Jordan tattoo on his legs.

881
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did.

882
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 3: Look it made pick it.

883
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: Roll easy for me though, because a lot he learned

884
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: from Steve Nash and be in Phoenix. He brought to

885
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: me and taught me that. So he helped my point

886
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: guard game go to another level. Those two shooters, though,

887
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: I would have faces.

888
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 4: Not too many of that. You can't build a wall,

889
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 4: get to the elbows if you want to just going

890
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 4: up this going up. I'm happy they didn't happy they're taking.

891
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: Staff ya obviously yeah, obviously obviously they was calling the

892
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: baby Blake grif from overseas.

893
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,120

00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,080

Speaker 2: so many points. Well, I'll be honest, the way the

932
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: rules are and the way it is, it's not a

933
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 2: player's fault these guys. First of all, they're way too

934
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 2: talented and the ways you're skilled and shoot the ball

935
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: way too well. Yeah, right, so if you're not allow

936
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: of people to be physical and touching them like you

937
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: have no chance, let's be just.

938
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: Look at it. We added the takefoul, you know, Yeah,

939
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: and oversee they value for you have fast breaks. So

940
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: that's what they added now, so you know what I mean.

941
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, if you if you really look at

942
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 2: it now, is as much as these get are shooting

943
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: as well as are shooting skilled skilled as they are, Like, yes,

944
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: if you're not gonna be physical and do those things,

945
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 2: like you're gonna give up one hundred and thirty point,

946
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 2: that's why tell people like I honestly, I'm an agent now, right,

947
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: so I get in the draft. And then someone's say, well,

948
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't guard nobody, I said, who does. At the

949
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: end of the day, the game right now is the

950
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: first two one hundred and twenty five.

951
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

952
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 4: I mean for me, I just think everything is copy cat.

953
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 4: I mean, the NBA is a coffycat league. Just like

954
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 4: somebody running play and then the next team started running

955
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 4: that same player, and the next team start somebody got

956
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 4: a good European, the next team trying to find the

957
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 4: next one, and the next one in the next playing

958
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 4: just a coffee captain. Everybody ain't gonna be Luca, Everybody

959
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 4: ain't gonna be Joker.

960
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: And then when Golden State and.

961
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 4: Everybody everybody looking for the next Luca and Joker.

962
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: And Golden State when they put Daymond at the five,

963
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: every team couldn't do that. Yeah, I mean when they

964
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: had Stephen Clay and those got it worked out for them.

965
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 3: They used to I used to blow my mind. Man,

966
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: I think we touched on our podcast, So just.

967
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 4: Like just to touch on that real quick. I have

968
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 4: a problem with European basketball or Europeans. If I ain't

969
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,960

00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 4: trying to go, so I have a problem with it.

979
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 4: But like I'm saying, I have a problem when you're

980
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 4: missing on talent right here, yass go all the way

981

Speaker 4: problem with that. That's what I have a problem. And

983
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 4: I fell victim to that. I still got a list

984
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 4: of Europeans that got drafted before me.

985
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: We ain't gonna go.

986
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: Over it, but I know call them out right now.

987
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: We ain't got enough time.

988
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 4: I ain't got enough time. So it's just so you know,

989
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 4: Bron y'all. Once again, y'all missing motherfuckers that's sitting right here,

990
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 4: just to go over there and look for you to love.

991
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 4: I love a preacher.

992
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: You come up.

993
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: But it's good, So talk about now you're obviously the Wizards.

994
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 2: Fast forward to the Wizards. Now what's up man, you're

995
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: watching the Wizards?

996
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: Watching the Wizards? Man, what's up?

997
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what's up?

998
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: Man?

999
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 4: That's hard.

1000
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: They got it. It ain't gonna like not even just

1001
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: because I'm not. I'm not gonna be both like live

1002
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: because I'm not in there. If I wasn't, and it's

1003
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: just like the ending, like you said, the game just

1004
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: changed so much. It's hard to watch, you know. I

1005
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: mean like it's hard to watch because nobody's playing defense.

1006
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: It's a lot of shots, and it's just like for me,

1007
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: it's like go and play pick up, Like it's like

1008
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: we go play pick up and something like you get

1009
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: a buck get a bucket, go one on one, go

1010
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: one on one. So that's just all it really is.

1011
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,479
Speaker 1: But I don't know. They just got to now I didn't.

1012
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to figure out what they're trying

1013
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: to do since they got a new front office they

1014
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: just made adjustments. You know, they start off this summer

1015
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: by trading Brad and training for drum Pool and trying

1016
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: to make the justice. So I think, you know me

1017
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: doing doing the trading line, they didn't do anything. So

1018
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: I think going into the summer, they're gonna try to

1019
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: figure out who they want to keep it they really

1020
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: want to get rid of. But it's like starting over.

1021
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: It's like a rebuild for you. You got to really

1022
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: start over and try to figure out what piece you want.

1023
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: So those guys at the top trying to figure out

1024
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: who they want to keep over there that's been there

1025
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: for years, and who they want to let go.

1026
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 4: I think personally, when I look at that team and

1027
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 4: I look at it's Cools one, I'll be wanting to

1028
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 4: make some free Cools T shirts because I feel like

1029
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 4: Cools to help somebody. But see, but see, but Cools

1030
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 4: could have could have helped somebody.

1031
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: Remember Dallas wanted to but he turned it down.

1032
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 4: Is that true that what they told us. I feel

1033
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 4: like the Cools to look me in my eyes, call

1034
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 4: you and tell you, yeah, he need to look me

1035
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 4: at my eyes, say yeah, I understand what.

1036
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: But I really think, I really think they did come

1037
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: to him because they say what they want with Brad,

1038
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: They're like, Yo, we feel like we're gonna move you

1039
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: because we're trying to take this step. And I think

1040
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: they gave Cools the opportunity from like what I'm know,

1041
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: like how those guys I think they are a game

1042
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: the opportunity. I think he was like, you know, I

1043
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: just want to stay in Bill, But you know, also

1044
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 1: it might because cool, like you know what, Ship, I'm

1045
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: the man over here, like going to Dallas. Now, I

1046
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: might be I'm the third option show getting twenty to

1047
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: twenty two shots. I might get.

1048
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: You got and then you might not going on.

1049
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: You might just be a catching shoot guy over there.

1050
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to be over every point because.

1051
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: You got to think like PJ.

1052
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 3: Washington took that role, and I mean Hendre second be

1053
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: catching you together.

1054
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: You might put the ball on the floor once in

1055
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: a while to get a Midge mad post, but you

1056
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: know the ball Lucas getting the ball to play that

1057
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: Dorian Face Smith role. Yeah, and a guy like that,

1058
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: like he's done that with the legacy. He was young

1059
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: in the career. They want the championship. He did that.

1060
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: Now he got to DC where Ship I'm getting twenty

1061
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: five shots a game, avenue twenty five, I might want

1062
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: to stay in this moment.

1063
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 3: Guys like Who's are important just when it comes to

1064
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 3: playoff basketball, because the scoring comes down the playoffs. It's

1065
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 3: just it comes more position or possession games and stuff

1066
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: like that. So it's gonna be obviously it's over now.

1067
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 3: But that'll have been a good spot for a really

1068
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 3: good spot.

1069
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you like, because if you want those

1070
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: guys that one of those main guys, if you have

1071
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: between three, you gotta go up twenty eight plot points.

1072
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: But a lot of gods they stayed to saying they'm

1073
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna go down. Then hey, we got worried about something.

1074
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: You might not be that guy. Yeah, that's what they say.

1075
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: In the playoffs. If you have the thirty, it's like, damn,

1076
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: I gotta have thirty five more. The like number go up,

1077
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: got up, And that's why you're making money in the playoffs.

1078
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: Like the regular season's cool playoffs where you be made

1079
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: at would you.

1080
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 3: Have those good runs with those Cleveland?

1081
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: Serious, man, I'm mad we didn't get to get to

1082
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: see Cleveland in the playoffs. I wanted to. I broke

1083
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: my hand one year then the Hawks went and got

1084
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: swept by Bron and them, So that that was all

1085
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: that stuff with the riff raffle.

1086
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 3: For the Cleveland stuff was before the season, before the playoffs.

1087
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: It was regular season when I said bron shot, because Bro,

1088
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: we were saying, like, ain't a lot of like me.

1089
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm just competitive person. I'm never gonna say a team

1090
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: on beat us like you just gotta Like when y'all

1091
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: was in Miami, I wanted to play them so bad

1092
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: because in the regular season, we just felt like we

1093
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: matched up with him, Like we ain't got nobody to

1094
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: stop bronyway, but we just feel like we matched up

1095
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: with him, like and with that Cleveland, we feel like

1096
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 1: me and Kyrie was gonna do what we do Brad

1097
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: and j R. You know, I mean, we had nobody

1098
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: for Bron, but we for like gord Tien Trisha. We

1099
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: had that match up and the regular season, every game

1100
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: was on TV, and it was a battle like it

1101
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: was no blowouts. He was back and forth. And that

1102
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: year he made that shot, he traveled before the day

1103
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: and called it. He missed the layup that made two

1104
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: free throws and we were supposed to foul when he

1105
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: got the ball when he threw it to Kevin Love

1106
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: threw an amazing pack. He outlet king he called it.

1107
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: He fade away. I'm like, man, he ain't making this

1108
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: ship bang shot. He come out talking to me. I say,

1109
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: may he don't be making that shin shit and working

1110
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: this all the time. You know wrong, Listen, I'm like,

1111
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: damn makes him crazy.

1112
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 4: Sometimes when we used to be in the middle of

1113
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 4: practice and everybody just stopped, like, come on, man, can't

1114
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 4: do this. Ain't nobody else here could do that?

1115
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: For sure?

1116
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 3: Brother, nobody he could do that. Yes, what he knew it.

1117
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 3: He knew it too. You get that job going on?

1118
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 4: Go ahead, we can't do that.

1119
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ones, how do you run back?

1120
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: Because that little light job when you walk into it,

1121
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: we can't do that, bro, That's not when you walk now,

1122
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, you cold and everybody watching to give them

1123
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: a little.

1124
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 4: Light job like they want the coaches over there, like

1125
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 4: everybody just every time the practice turned into the brown.

1126
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: So we just watching now. Everybody just watching it now

1127
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 4: for a while.

1128
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: So let's talk about this year going into it. You

1129
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 2: played another team, you played for Clippers. Can they win

1130
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: it this year?

1131
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: I think they have a chance, you know, I mean

1132
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: the most important thing. And I think with any team

1133
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: y'all know, y'all you've been to the finals, is staying

1134
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: healthy for sure? I think he losing hell of a coach,

1135
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: you know, yes, hell of a coach. Like yes, I

1136
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: love playing Phone is a great guy Mann, but respect

1137
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: for him. And I think it's funny because when James said,

1138
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm the system, not the system. I am the system.

1139
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a system, he won't lie like he went

1140
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: over there, and like I mean PG and Kawhi, those guys,

1141
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: especially bro like Kawhi is on a whole other level.

1142
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: Like I see them guys put in the work every

1143
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: day and just see they work at how good they are.

1144
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: They didn't have to. They don't have to be the

1145
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: guys that make plays for them here, like James is

1146
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: the guy that orchestrate, they pick and roll and makes

1147
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: the job easy for everybody. He's the leader there to

1148
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: He's super because you can't go on these screenscause he

1149
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: shoots the ball well. He can make every pass. He

1150
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: might not be explosive as he was in Houston, but

1151
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: he can make every pay in every pass. Most one

1152
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: the one thing for them, I think it's just staying

1153
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: healthy for them and just ships up in the air.

1154
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 4: After that, I mean before obviously he was with the Clippers,

1155
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 4: but before that, you spent some time in Houston, and

1156
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 4: from a veteran perspective, I cringe sometimes not watching you

1157
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 4: be able to do what I know you were still

1158
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 4: capable of doing, but you still should be doing now. Yeah,

1159
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 4: you're right what he should be doing now.

1160
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 2: That's what he hold on. I'm gonna go on this

1161
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 2: because I have to say this. We talk about this

1162
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: shit all the time, though. This is what this is

1163
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: what the league's missing right here.

1164
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 4: Let's talk about bug at a job.

1165
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: But it's but it's so to me, like even when

1166
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: I got towards the end of it, there's certain things

1167
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 2: I could do, but he can still go and get it.

1168
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: He's still ge get eighteen and nine right now.

1169
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1170
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 2: So it's different when you have that voice and you're

1171
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 2: still doing it. You had it because you just would

1172
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: have whooped to do his ass. Yeah, but I'm saying

1173
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 2: this is what the league's missing right now. But if

1174
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 2: I if I was ready for a playoff run, man, man,

1175
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 2: what's your cell phone number? Man? With that shit out there,

1176
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 2: because I'm telling you right now though for real, like

1177
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 2: that's that's that's so important. People miss that, they missed

1178
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: this whole deal, like the young about what they can be.

1179
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: But it's right here in front of you.

1180
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.

1181
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for me and is I

1182
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: think like a lot of people would be like I'm

1183
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: an alpha dog like you, I mean, but like for me,

1184
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: like when I went to the Clippers, I didn't care

1185
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: about being the man that's like a thing I want

1186
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: to get out there for people to understand. Like I

1187
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: don't care about being the guy that was an All

1188
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: Star averaging twenty and ten before, Like I might not

1189
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: be that same player, but I was averaging eleven and

1190
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: seven last year in twenty minutes. So I feel like

1191
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: I could still help a team, you know. I mean,

1192
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: like you said, if you talking about defense, nobody's guarding

1193
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: nobody anyway, you know what I mean. But I feel

1194
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: like the pace I bring to a game, the way

1195
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: I can run and pick a roll and find shooters

1196
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: and find people, I get a team and I'm cool

1197
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: accepting role, Like I don't care about making a big check.

1198
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: I just want to play because I still have the

1199
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: game and I feel like I can help a team win.

1200
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people think, oh, he wanted

1201
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: to be the man. I don't give a fuck about

1202
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 1: being a man. I did that before for ten years.

1203
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: It's a lot of pressure. I was cool with it,

1204
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: but at some point in time, your body and your

1205
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: career tell you you ain't that no more. What can

1206
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: you accept? And I'm cool accepting the bench roll like

1207
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: people think, oh, he wanted to be started. If you're

1208
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: playing motherfucker, that's not a superstar all star and he's

1209
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: just like you didn't draft him, and I can compete

1210
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: for it. Hell y'all. I want to win that spot.

1211
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: But if it's a guy like I'm going behind a

1212
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: John Morant, Steph Curry or Devin Book or Drew Holiday

1213
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: and those guys that fixed those guys, and that's the

1214
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: glug guy, I'm cool with that. Whatever they help a

1215
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: team win.

1216
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 3: With Derrick Rose of Memphis is perfect my perception.

1217
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: A lot of people think like, oh, he can't accept

1218
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: that role.

1219
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 4: I'm cool with that, And that's what I wanted to

1220
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,479
Speaker 4: get Out's what I wanted you to speak on because

1221
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 4: I think a lot of times when things don't work

1222
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 4: out and they see veterans not playing in a certain situation,

1223
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 4: they automatically assume on the outside that he didn't want

1224
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 4: to accept his role, that he wasn't cool with that role. Now,

1225
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 4: sometimes organizations just do fu up ship, sometimes the organization

1226
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 4: and then when people sit on the other side and say, oh,

1227
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 4: why won't he take less money to stay or why

1228
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 4: won't he do this? Because at the end of the day,

1229
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 4: what we come into a situation when you're dealing with

1230
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 4: First of all, let me just take it back a

1231
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 4: little bit. When you dealing with young preach a littleit

1232
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 4: when you deal with young back kids. We already at

1233
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 4: an issue with trust. So now you put yourself in

1234
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 4: a situtionuation where you're in an organization and they're giving

1235
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 4: you a lot of money, and you playing for a coach,

1236
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 4: and you in the locker room and everything is built

1237
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 4: on trust. I can't play with you, I can't play

1238
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 4: for you if I don't trust you.

1239
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: Respect.

1240
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 4: That's just as simple as that. I don't give a

1241
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 4: fuck what nobody say, but you're not gonna get my

1242
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 4: best version if I don't trust you. So, now you

1243
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 4: put yourself in a situation where you trust this organization

1244
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 4: and you trust these people, and now it comes back

1245
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 4: to a situation where they're telling you everything you did

1246
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 4: to get to that point that made you the player

1247
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 4: that you are is wrong. You're supposed to accept that shit.

1248
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 4: He'd be like, when did it become wrong? Motherfucker?

1249
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: Yesterday?

1250
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,439
Speaker 4: Because it wasn't wrong, but we could go it wasn't

1251
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 4: wrong a year ago. When did it become wrong? And

1252
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 4: now it was your fault?

1253
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 3: Now is your fault.

1254
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: And that's how I feel like me, I'm just a

1255
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: straightfor a person like me, and you do have a

1256
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: conversation and I don't know them that well, but if

1257
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: I say him in the game, he'd tell me something

1258
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: I tell them, And it's like, be honest with me,

1259
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: telling me the truth, because if I'm fucking up that

1260
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing some wrong, tell me so I can know

1261
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: how to fix it. But if you lie to me

1262
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: and then I go out here and see this and

1263
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: you just do something different, like I can't respect you

1264
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: no more. Yeah, and I'm gonna look at you a

1265
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: different way. You know what I mean.

1266
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 4: And it's all based on the communication of it. And

1267
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 4: I think that's where you know a lot of the communication, Yes,

1268
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 4: And I think that's where the lines get blurred between

1269
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 4: players and organizations. When you don't care the truth or

1270
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 4: you don't communicate at all, that's the key.

1271
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: We respect it.

1272
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 4: We might not like what you gotta tell us, but

1273
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 4: if you look us and I like men and tell

1274
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 4: the truth, we're gonna respect that.

1275
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: And if I don't respect that, it's all on me.

1276
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: I said, if you moved on and I gotta go,

1277
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: And that's my fault because you gave me the opportunity

1278
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: to respect that. You told me face to face like

1279
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: a man.

1280
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all I want to get out.

1281
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: I like it. Who do you got?

1282
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 3: Who do you got coming out of the East, come

1283
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 3: out the west?

1284
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 1: The East ship. You just seen the game last night.

1285
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: That's who I think is gonna be in the finals.

1286
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: That's my two picks.

1287
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 4: Dallas.

1288
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: Uh.

1289
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 4: I know, but man, I don't want to hear that.

1290
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 4: That took something from me by last year.

1291
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: I know. I know this is all to you don't

1292
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: want to talk about. I know because he's like, if

1293
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 1: I leave out here one on the way out, I'm clean.

1294
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 3: What in it for? Yeah?

1295
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 4: I would have been a way to go out. It

1296
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 4: was the hell of a ride. Do I ain't got

1297
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 4: no complaints.

1298
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, And I just feel like, uh Yo could

1299
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: just been and ship you could do and I get it,

1300
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like a lot of

1301
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: the one thing people question when I said this before,

1302
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't even know basketball. They talk

1303
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: about it, but they don't really know it. I think

1304
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: like a lot of GM they don't really know how

1305
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: to put good talent together. Like someone just do it

1306
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: because that's their job. Like, but you got certain ones

1307
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: you could tell they know what's going on, like they

1308
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: know how to do it. And uh like Denver don't

1309
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: have the bench they had last year, but those young

1310
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: guys are starting to play and develop the way they

1311
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: need to. But like as long as they could keep

1312
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: marrying in the second uniton he play cool but like

1313
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 1: the young guy Peyton Wahsington doing their part, but Yoka

1314
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 1: is just so dominant.

1315
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 2: Bro, It's like you talk about you talk about Joker.

1316
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: This is a perfect segue. We just started a new

Speaker 3: Look too damn easy.

1323
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,440

00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you him.

00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 4: I just say I have sweated how many years he

00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:36,439
Speaker 4: been the league?

1340
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: But what I'd been trying to.

1341
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:39,160

00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: Come on, like we could go for days. The crazy

1344
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: part is like I was saying this like Russ did

1345
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: amazing thing after Trip Double. I mean, like we ain't

1346
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,920

1347
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 1: and he really, like, oh for Shure jokes for the

1348

Speaker 1: it was amazing.

1350
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 4: People talk and they get into their feelings and they

1351
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 4: say what they want to say about Russ. At one point,

1352
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,320

1417
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: I probably won't be a pick, That's what I'm saying,

1418
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: because he just brought Yeah like, hey, j was nice

1419
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: about him, but he was nice in college. But like

1420
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,640

1423
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 3: an opinion. What you do, don't man, don't be DM.

1424
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: And it's hard enough the way it is why they

1425
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: got it. Like, but it's my point why they did

1426
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: me all four because like they go have their only too.

1427
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: They might be different also everybody, but you know, like

1428
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: they all be like when we got our opinion and

1429
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: said the wrong one. But they can go up there

1430
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: and say whatever they want what.

1431
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 4: I'm saying, and they could DM must and say crazy ship.

1432
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 4: I would never some of the ship people, DM me.

1433
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 4: I would never write it. I would never do some

1434
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 4: of this stuff to people.

1435
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: But said he said, because they.

1436
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:25,520

Speaker 1: I think it was gonna be I think.

1460
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 3: I would have loved Holiday Drew.

1461
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: Holiday was solid and perfect portograph for him at the time,

1462
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,399

1469
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,360

00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 4: take big cat just because that's my dog. That's just

1471
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,520

1472
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 3: Antoine Walker, Ron Mercer.

1473
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,440

1474
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: Like we go Kyie Street playing a small ball and

1475
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: you play Big Ben and call. You know what I mean.

1476
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: Because if I'm playing like a Florida team that got

1477
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: like our hoard for the Joe Kim, I gotta have

1478
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: too bigs. But if I'm going to they go small

1479
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: balls and I'm going like Antoine Walker playing my four. Wow,

1480
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,600

Speaker 3: That's pretty good five right there, coach.

1483
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: Then you got a whole another fight. Get half of

1484
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: this year.

1485
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,040

00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: Were talking about then playing with Elik munkin Dan and Fox. Yeah,

1491
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: hold on.

1492
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:47,919
Speaker 3: That's what we gotta talk about.

1493
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 4: That it's getting out of control and getting just getting

1494
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 4: out of control.

1495
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 2: Just you know what, we just we just bring pros

1496
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 2: to bro that that's why that's why there's no bity,

1497
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 2: because this man just is off the cuff.

1498
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 3: And you sit here and talk about it, you might change.

Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. We talking about the team

1542
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 4: that wasn't really known for their defense, wasn't really known

1543
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 4: for winning, and now you got a team that has

1544
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 4: a dog mentality that competes on both fans of the

1545
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 4: floor and offensively and offensively and believe they can win

1546
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,479
Speaker 4: every night. Because he believed. You know what I'm saying.

1547
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: I think the thing when with him doing that, the

1548
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: piggyback on that. With him doing that, I think Cat

1549
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I might be in here longer,

1550
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: but it's man team.

1551
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 3: Oh for sure.

1552
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: And I think last year or the year before, they

1553
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: were going back trying to figure out who I passed

1554
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: the torch to. I know you've been aroundie me when

1555
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: bron came here, like trying to figure out like the

1556
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: way passing the brown or he's still staying So when

1557
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: he finally passing the end, you could tell they took

1558
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: that next step. I feel like that's the same thing

1559
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: when y'all.

1560
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 4: Think Cat came out and if I'm not mistaken, he

1561
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 4: said that he's gonna be the face of the lea

1562
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 4: like this is the face of the lead right.

1563
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: Now, and man, it was like, no, I want to

1564
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: be like he's so like ship, he's gonna have to way.

1565
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 4: He's bad right now, And I like the little friendly

1566
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 4: competition that him and Shaye got.

1567
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.

1568
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 4: Nobody disrespecting nobody.

1569
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: But I would have said the same thing.

1570
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm the man. I like that. That's the one

1571
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 3: thing about the league right now. They ain't good hands

1572
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 3: for some of this time.

01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 3: Man I wish Man.

1612
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 4: I talked to him in the prog and I was like,

1613
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 4: man that.

1614
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: All the time.

1615
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, And you're living right down

1616
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 3: the road.

1617
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Just just I feel like they can. I can help

1618
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: them a lot, you know what I mean. I think

1619
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: like getting Terry was a great piece for them that

1620
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: like somebody that can make plays and pick a roll

1621
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: for them and stuff. But even if I didn't start

1622
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:50,439
Speaker 1: come on to bench, I think I could be another

1623
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: person that can help them and impact them like men

1624
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: you do. You talk about this plenty of times, and

1625
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: I work out with Bam a lot, so you never

1626
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:57,439
Speaker 1: know what can happen.

1627
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 3: You want to write O G podcast because that's assistant

1628
01:01:59,360 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 3: GM right there.

1629
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 4: I wish I was vice president of player development.

1630
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 3: There you go, you gonna develop you?

1631
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 4: He thirty three years old.

1632
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: That man know what time it is.

1633
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 4: I ain't got to develop that man. That man got

1634
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 4: it all in the bag. That's somebody just needed to

1635
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,439
Speaker 4: take care of the man. It's sign a man because

1636
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, this is where I'm

1637
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 4: gonna touch on this once again. You get these guys

1638
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 4: at nineteen he was able, but it was a different error.

1639
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 4: But you get these guys a franchise and an organization

1640
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 4: at nineteen to twenty years old, and you throw millions

1641
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 4: dollars at them. Who can relate? They homeboys can't relate

1642
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 4: they brother can't relate, their cousin can't relate. John Wall

1643
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 4: can relate. John Wall know what that feel like. John

1644
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 4: Wall knows what it means to have a fucking organization

1645
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 4: on your back at nineteen years old and making millions

1646
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 4: of dollars and pushing it forward. So he knows that

1647
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 4: only people could speak on that iss somebody that's been

1648
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 4: in that situation. This brings me to another thing. Real quick,

1649
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 4: here's something that we talk about. And this kind of

1650
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 4: looks serious because I remember in twenty nineteen what you

1651
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 4: dealt with personally with your mom passing away, and you know,

1652
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 4: I remember reading that, you know, mentally, the toad that

1653
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 4: it took on you. I remember coming in and I

1654
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 4: speak on this, and my mom passed away thirteen years ago,

1655
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 4: my father passed away about three years ago, and I

1656
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 4: lost my step mom about three to three and a

1657
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 4: half four months ago. So I remember reading and the

1658
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 4: mental effect that it took on you. And I just

1659
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 4: remember landing two three in the morning and flying going

1660
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 4: straight to the hospital to see sit spend the night

1661
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 4: with my mom when I get in, and then wake

1662
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 4: up in the morning, go home or whatever. Just talk

1663
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 4: about that real quick. Because I know we like to

1664
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 4: have a lot of fun, but I also want to

1665
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 4: talk about mental health and how that challenges you and

1666
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 4: how that changes you.

1667
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I think just us as African American men, we

1668
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 1: feel like you shaid, like trust is a big part

1669
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: for us, and coming up from like our background, we

1670
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: feel like we ain't trying to ask another man for

1671
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: no help. We try to figure it out on our own.

1672
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: And twenty nineteen, matter of fact, I move up a

1673
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: little bit before that, twenty eighteen or tear my achilles,

1674
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:52,360

1790
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,800

1791
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 1: the find happenings.

1792
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:45,000

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, twice I wanted to commit suicide. And I

1795
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: was like, man, if I take myself away from this earth,

1796
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm felling my kids like it's gonna be able to

1797
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: raise them, you know, I mean, I wrote about it

1798
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: in a players treatment, I wrote a story about it.

1799
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, I take it away from them. That ain't

1800
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:01,560
Speaker 1: fair to me, you know what I mean? And I

1801
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: know I got to be here for them. And what

1802
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: a piggyback on and expressed about mental health is like

1803
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: I had a video come out a boy certain shit.

1804
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Nobody's perfect. You make mistakes. And at that time I

1805
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: was in a dark space trying to find happiness. So

1806
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 1: for me was going out party and having fun, just

1807
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: trying to find something to get me some peace. And

1808
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't the right way. And when I had all

1809
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: that go through and I had like me, you got

1810
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: I think twenty seventeen, I signed a mass contract. I'm

1811
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: one of the top ten best players in the league,

1812
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 1: second best player after bron have achilles injury after that,

1813
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: and now I see I go from rock bottom to

1814
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 1: the bottom, And who's really fucking with me? Who's really

1815
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,679
Speaker 1: there for John Wall the person, not the basketball player,

1816
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: because you know, when you're done, the phone don't ring

1817
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: the sacond way than So I'm like, all I'm ana

1818
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Sue really close to me, and my mom told me.

1819
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: She asked you was like, you're gonna lose a lot

1820
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 1: of people close to you because they're not there for you,

1821
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: They're there for your lifestyle. And I finally got to

1822
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: that point when I realized it. So mental health is

1823
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:57,600
Speaker 1: a big fact. I still talk to a therapist to

1824
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 1: this day to figure out and better myself. So if

1825
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 1: you ever feel like you're in a spot where you're

1826
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: not comfortable as a black man, after American or any race,

1827
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: no offency, that go get help. It's okay, it's nothing

1828
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 1: wrong with it. Because I had to figure that out

1829
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: or I wouldn't be here today.

1830
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 3: And how old we are, your kids now five and three?

1831
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:13,320

01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 4: I know that feeling. I know what that feels like.

1839

Speaker 4: little Malcolm, you know what I'm saying, Like I could

1845
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 4: see the list goes on. But when it really hit

1846
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 4: me was when I lost my father. Because my father

1847
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 4: was my best friend. Like, if anybody know me, I'm

1848
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 4: a daddy's child. Boy, my daddy walked through the door,

1849
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 4: it won't be no different than me walking through the door.

1850
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna say that I

1851
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 4: talked like him, I act like him. You know what

1852
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 4: I'm saying. There's so many similarities. But when I lost

1853
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 4: my father, it was one that I really had to

1854
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 4: tap into that mental health, you know what I'm saying,

1855
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 4: because that's when things just kind of start to pile

1856
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 4: up and everything starts to hit you at once because

1857
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 4: you start to suppress a lot of things. You go

1858
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 4: back to when I lost my mom, Man, I ain't

1859
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 4: take no time off. I mean I literally had the funeral,

1860
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 4: did awake, and everything was right back into practice, right

1861
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 4: back into basketball. Really take no time away. But when

1862
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 4: I lost my father, that's when everything kind of caught

1863
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 4: up with me at once. That's when I had to

1864
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 4: tap into the mental health and sit down and talk

1865
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 4: to somebody and just had those conversations because, like you said,

1866
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 4: you know, as black men, we taught to suck it up.

1867
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 4: You can't nothing can affect you. I remember the first

1868
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 4: conversation I had with my step mom about having a heartbreak,

1869
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 4: and her conversation back to me was, don't be no pump. Okay, listen,

1870
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 4: I can't talk to you. You can't help me. You

1871
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 4: can't help me. I'll talk about a heartbreak, you talk

1872
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 4: about be being a punk like this hurts. You can't

1873
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 4: help me. So I just understand I ain't no punk either. Shoot,

1874
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 4: well think about it. I know THEYMN punk either. But

1875
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 4: the stigma, you know I said of that, you know

1876
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 4: what I'm saying that that was tough. So you know

1877
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. I just wanted you to speak on

1878
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 4: that because that's real, you know what I'm saying. And

1879
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 4: now fast forward. Just lost my stepmother three months ago.

1880
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 4: So now for me, cancer has taken all my parents.

1881
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 4: My father had a little bit of colon cancer, my loma.

1882
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 4: My mother had a drink acrossan noma, and my stepmother

1883
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 4: had lung cancer. So now cancer has affected me in

1884
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 4: all those ways. So it's my mission to fight with

1885
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 4: cancer and things that I have, the partnerships would bounce

1886
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 4: back from cancer, the things I have with Baptists because

1887
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 4: of how special that is in that relationship that we

1888
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 4: have with those people. So I just want to commend

1889
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 4: you for not, you know what I'm saying, going that

1890
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 4: route and stepping out there and you know, being vulnerable

1891
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 4: and being honest with somebody and getting helped done a

1892
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 4: lot of times, a lot of times we won't do that,

1893
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 4: and we don't do it. We don't do it enough.

1894
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, because my dad died for living cares, my mom

1895
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: breast cancer and one of my little friends of Maya

1896
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: definitely Keemi. That's the little girl that I had that

1897
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:47,599
Speaker 1: special thing I did for see. So that was specially,

1898
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: like you said, just to pick it back a little bit.

1899
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 1: I didn't really take no time other than my mom

1900
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: passed it and I wasn't even playing and I remember

1901
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: I went back to Detroit to meet the team and

1902
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: we was practicing. I'm just like it's my sanctuary, certain

1903
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: thing that's gonna give me peace to my mom, Like man,

1904
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: get your ass back to work, like I'm good, I'm greeting,

1905
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 1: I'm done you, I'm at peace right there. You ain't grieving,

1906
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 1: go get back to work. And that's what I did,

1907
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: and uh it kind of made a cool for me.

1908
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 1: But then I devastated hit a year later because my

1909
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,600
Speaker 1: grandma passed. Yeah, and I felt like my grandma was

1910
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: just like, man, I'm tired, like my my daughter died.

1911
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm good. And it was hurtful for me because we

1912
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 1: couldn't have a real funeral. It was COVID and uh

1913
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: we was in I was in Houston and we was

1914
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: playing okay, see we won, and was about play another game.

1915
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: I flew, but I couldn't be around my family. You know,

1916
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 1: if you're around your family, anybody you got to go

1917
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,560
Speaker 1: to Uh yeah, you had to go to Courtine for

1918
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 1: ten or fourteen days. I'm like, fuck, I can't be

1919
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: around my family. It's a bad time. So I had

1920
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: to go in there and see my grandma on her

1921
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: own and I could just wave in my family from

1922
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: the window. And then I went back to the team.

1923
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 4: If I could give you one piece of advice, and

1924
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,759
Speaker 4: this just my advice to you is like, don't remember

1925
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 4: how we saw them in those hospital beds like jobs.

1926
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 4: Because yeah, because for me, I was I'm the oldest,

1927
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 4: so I had to be the one to take my

1928
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 4: mother off life support. They had my decision. There was

1929
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 4: nobody else to make that decision that had to do.

1930
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, I got to say pull

1931
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 4: the plug.

1932
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 1: I was saying, yes, I want the oldest. But they

1933
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 1: look at me like, what you want to do. I'm like,

1934
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 1: she did that, Let her do it.

1935
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 4: What we're looking at and that version of them is

1936
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 4: not the version we want to remember. But oftentimes that's

1937
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 4: the vision that comes out head. But we got to

1938
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 4: remember the times that we had, the great times, the fun,

1939
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 4: everything they instilled in us. What you're going through right now,

1940
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 4: regardless of whether you miss your mom or not, she

1941
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 4: prepared you for it because you're handling it. You're handling

1942
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 4: it the right way. That ain't mean you ain't got

1943
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 4: knocked down. That ain't meaning shit been easy, but you're

1944
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 4: handling it. So she prepared you for it. So she

1945
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:35,679
Speaker 4: did a great job. I'm sure she was amazing.

1946
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 1: It's only one thing I still be question that you

1947
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 1: probably got the same thing. Did I do enough?

1948
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1949
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:42,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think about it, and I look back at

1950
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 4: old pictures, and I just wanted to make sure that

1951
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 4: they enjoyed the journey just as much as I did.

1952
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, because I wouldn't be harvest

1953
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:48,200
