642
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna ask like, like like was

643
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: you was you like hesitanting that? Like after you said

653
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 4: into money. It kept pumping in the money. So you

654
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,440

Speaker 2: know a lot of people on other teams take that

1264
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: as offensive. Sometimes, you know, that's my groove to get

01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 3: talking like this.

1447
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 4: I like, mother fucker, you're the biggest dude on the court,

1448
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 4: and you got to get five, five picks in the court.

1449
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 3: Every time.

1450
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 4: John Stockton sixty one, he pick it for you. And

1451
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 4: I used to get it and just be outside patting

1452
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 4: it like this, like I don't need no pick. I

1453
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 4: don't need no Pickure there. She would jump on him,

1454
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 4: something like that, I'm guarding him, and I got one,

1455
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 4: said hit me a little stock and hit me. I'm like, man,

1456
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 4: they six one and you getting all the picks, you

1457
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 4: big old blah blah wow.

1458
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 3: But you know you can't. You can't argue with his numbers.

1459
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 3: You can't argue with his number.

1460
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 2: You was a power forward that was quick. You can

1461
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 2: face up and you can bag down. And like you say,

1462
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 2: most of the power forwards of that era was like

1463
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 2: real big. It was more close to centers than they was,

1464
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 2: you know, than they were small forwards like you was

1465
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 2: like a small forward slash power for with the strip.

1466
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 6: Every matchup you had, you feel like you can score,

1467
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 6: Like my.

1468
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 3: Problem was gardening sixteen sixt eleven casts.

1469
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 6: It was just jump hooks. The motherfucker. I hate them.

1470
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 3: That was the problem. But on the other end, they

1471
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 3: couldn't guard.

1472
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 6: Me, thank god.

1473
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 3: It all.

1474
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 6: Used to shake up.

1475
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 3: Listen like DS. You know, he was a huge part

1476
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 3: of inspiring my game.

1477
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: You made me feel like, okay, you Barkley was like

1478
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 1: all right, like even if because like you know, when

1479
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I was younger in high school and I was a

1480
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: power forward, nice long however, So that's what I'm saying,

1481
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: Like you definitely, like y'all definitely made me feel like

1482
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: all right, it's cool, Like I ain't like, I ain't

1483
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: gotta be six safe to be able to you know

1484
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, play in the league, Like I'm cool,

1485
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: and it gave me a belief that I could go

1486
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: in and still rebound, like I have to go figs

1487
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: the rebound in college, Like I was cool. So I'm

1488
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 1: like all right when I'm watching y'all, I'm like, all right,

1489
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: cool like that you offensively right? For me, it was

1490
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 1: a struggle sometimes against the wiry sixteen type guys. Like

1491
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: for me, my worst matchup I always say it was

1492
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: it was Tayshaine Prince and Andre Carolinko. If I had

1493
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: a good game against one of them motherfuckers, I was.

1494
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: I felt good, you know what I'm saying. Like they

1495
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: was for real, It wasn't. They weren't coming to me.

1496
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: I could he was easy well but you know, like

1497
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: but you know, like they weren't like physically, they couldn't

1498
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: do nothing with me. I could bomb bomb bomb, but

1499
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: they had that length where they could just wait. They

1500
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 1: could just wait. When you get through, I'm gonna beat

1501
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: this list up.

1502
01:07:58,040 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 3: Was that the same?

1503
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: Did you run into those problem like like anybody your

1504
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: side or around your side, it's a mismatch. I already

1505
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: know that, but like when you get against that sixteen

1506
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: wire we dude, was that a problem?

1507
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 3: Same thing? Bro?

1508
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 4: To this day, I had scored two points on Ben

1509
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 4: Wallace and I'm hitting him and hitting him with the shoulders,

1510
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 4: hitting him, hit he just going back, going with it.

1511
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 4: But when it got here, here you go, here you go. Yeah,

1512
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 4: Marcus Camby. I was so happy when Marcus Cammy came

1513
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 4: to the nick. You know how skinny Marcus was. I'm

1514
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 4: knocking it back two feet three feet and then you

1515
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,600
Speaker 4: go like this, give me that, give me that.

1516
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 3: Yup. Wait now it was the same.

1517
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 2: Way out of all the years you played, all teammates

Speaker 6: They don't got to be on the same team, they

1521
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 6: don't got to be the same year.

1522
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 2: Just all the years you can play, if you had

1536
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 6: I knew because they hanging out with this with us

1537
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:43,400

1538
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeahuse Charlie Wood. Christ didn't take.

1539
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 2: Nothing outside of Zaion. Who are some of the players

1540
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 2: that you see today? They remind you of some of

1541
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 2: the players of the older days.

1542
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,600
Speaker 3: Well, we got to get physical, y'all. I'm looking. We

1543
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 3: look at the these youngsters and I go, okay, well,

1544
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 3: who could have played with us?

1545
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 7: You know?

1546
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 3: Leonard? Of course, I think. I think because he played.

1547
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 4: Defense first, why yeah, yeah, so I think why I

1548
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 4: definitely would have fit in. Of course, Lebron got the

1549
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 4: big body, he can play. I don't think he'd be

1550
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,839
Speaker 4: as dombinant as with us as he is with these youngsters.

1551
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 8: You know.

1552
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,560
Speaker 6: I mean he hit a lot of flow, they got it.

1553
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 3: He got into a lot of country, got into some fights.

1554
