Speaker 1: Now let's get to my much anticipated appearance on a
Speaker 1: Gills Arena podcast. To be clear, those aren't my words.
Speaker 1: This came from the crew who accused me of ducking
Speaker 1: the show for more than one hundred and thirty eight days.
Speaker 1: So yesterday I sat down with gilbel Arenas, Kenyan Martin
Speaker 1: and Rashard mccantz and Nick Young and of course Josiah
Speaker 1: Johnson for nearly three hours. We talked about several topics,
Speaker 1: including my running with Lebron James, where everyone seems to
Speaker 1: have an opinion. Of course, so check this out before
Speaker 1: I begin my next guest, what.
Speaker 2: Do you make of Lebron infront of you in the
Speaker 2: aftermath of that situation, I thought.
Speaker 1: It was weak. I thought it was some bullshit. But
Speaker 1: in the moment, I knew that I was listening to
Speaker 1: a father. I remember during the time out in the
Speaker 1: first quarter seeing Bronnie Brownie looked over at me and
Speaker 1: he had this sad look on his face, and I'm
Speaker 1: imagining Pop saw that shit you hit him and he
Speaker 1: couldn't hold it and he rolled up on me.
Speaker 3: Isn't it weak?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 4: Like when you think about it, you know he wasn't
Speaker 4: ready right as a father, you're still a father to
Speaker 4: your son. You're still trying to praise them and make
Speaker 4: them feel like they're worthy of playing basketball, because they can.
Speaker 3: Get discouraged at any moment in time.
Speaker 4: Right, So I'm pretty sure every game he's over.
Speaker 1: The life, you got it. Don't worry about they just
Speaker 1: go out there and play the game. That's that part
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 4: The NBA part knows he's not ready yet, right, but
Speaker 4: as the father part him sitting there nervous and shit,
Speaker 4: you lie, hey, relax, you're gonna go out there and play.
Speaker 4: At what point when he gets drafted fifty five, do
Speaker 4: you supposed to sit back and be like, all right,
Speaker 4: there's nothing to talk about here. He's fifty five. He
Speaker 4: wasn't seventeen. He wasn't the first rund his drift status actually,
Speaker 4: let you know what he was.
Speaker 1: All he had to do this, Listen, I got this
Speaker 1: moment with my son. All right, now it's time to
Speaker 1: go to the G league and do what you're doing, and.
Speaker 2: Or let the draft happen organically. And if somebody's going
Speaker 2: to draft, right, let them draft. But you know, no,
Speaker 2: just that's for ships and giggles, all right, What if
Speaker 2: somebody at forty four wanted to know, I'm just like
Speaker 2: for ships and giggle know, I get right? What why
Speaker 2: forty four wanted to pick him?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Yes, so you're gonna stop, yes.
Speaker 5: Lord, because he wants to play with his kid. He
Speaker 5: don't want to see his kids. He don't want to
Speaker 5: see his kid. Yeah, okay, he wants to play on
Speaker 5: the stor I think. Yeah, that's way different. That's way different.
Speaker 3: And here's why my son could have died.
Speaker 4: Yes, I've been in the league twenty one years, right,
Speaker 4: so what is going on?
Speaker 3: I've been in the league twenty one years.
Speaker 2: What is Brownie's dream to be in the NBA.
Speaker 4: I've been in the league twenty one years. I missed
Speaker 4: nineteen to twenty years of his life. You know how
Speaker 4: we are as parents, We're in, we're out, we're in,
Speaker 4: we're out.
Speaker 3: My first born.
Speaker 4: With my name almost passed, and you're telling me that
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep I'm gonna keep playing this league to
Speaker 4: miss this Fuck No, this is gonna be the first
Speaker 4: time in my career where I get three hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty fucking five days with my son.
Speaker 2: But what is Bronnie's dream? Brannie's dream was to be
Speaker 2: in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Dream was this.
Speaker 4: I don't give the fuck where I get drafted.
Speaker 2: I just want to hear my name.
Speaker 3: So why dream.
Speaker 2: So therefore, what I'm saying is that was his dread
Speaker 2: that happened organically. Listen, I told y'all seeing this, motherfucker,
Speaker 2: I was a bigger wreck on Kj's draft day than
Speaker 2: he fucking.
Speaker 1: Right, right, for sure, it should be.
Speaker 3: A bigger record.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to stay away from him because I don't
Speaker 2: want him to fence since this ship, right right. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I wanted more than he fucking wanted, right, absolutely, But
Speaker 2: it's his dream and his journey, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: With you.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, yes, Gil, Yes, absolutely, hear his name called
Speaker 2: by for any fucking team, right for.
Speaker 1: Anything, Which means that when we're talking about the Lakers,
Speaker 1: that's about Lebron, not Bronnie. Bronni wanted to get drafted
Speaker 1: by any NBA team. He wanted to hear his name.
Speaker 1: It was Lebron that wanted him as his teammate. For
Speaker 1: Lebron up here and you know you're up here. He
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. The problem is when it comes
Speaker 1: to the media, God damn it. I'm up here. We
Speaker 1: all know what happened with me and Lebron. I'm give
Speaker 1: shit if I never speak to him again in life.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he feel the same way. If that
Speaker 1: man had something going on in acron or Hire with
Speaker 1: the kids or ow here with the kids. Yo, man,
Speaker 1: we need Steven a help. What you need. It ain't
Speaker 1: got nothing to do with us what you need. I
Speaker 1: don't need to say anymore. That encapsulated everything. I was
Speaker 1: there for three hours right frame. Tired of talking about it.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. You know. Everybody knows where
Speaker 1: I stand now what happened, and that's that. But my
Speaker 1: nephew was there. He was in the house, and he
Speaker 1: was out there in La with me, and for a change,
Speaker 1: he wasn't styling and profiling. He was just there hanging
Speaker 1: with his uncle, listening intently for a change, and I
Speaker 1: was very very proud of him for doing that. Actually,
Speaker 1: like his outfit right now, it looks nice. What's going on, Josh?
Speaker 1: How you doing? Man?
Speaker 3: Nothing much, just being rich and you know, living life.
Speaker 3: You got on my shirt today.
Speaker 1: No, this is mine, Josh shirt.
Speaker 6: Listen, it's it's slow down on the creatin and the
Speaker 6: muscle milk.
Speaker 3: You're busting out of it. That's not your size. But
Speaker 3: when you talking about my style, that's it's not your size.
Speaker 3: It's not your.
Speaker 1: Size, but w W is my size.
Speaker 3: It is my show your cuts, and I don't appreciate it.
Speaker 1: It's a sports hill. That's because you're not in the gym.
Speaker 1: You're too busy looking pretty. You're looking in the mirror
Speaker 1: all the day going time. I got news for you.
Speaker 1: If you went to the gym, you would notice there's
Speaker 1: a lot of mirrors there, so you could look at
Speaker 1: yourself all the time. You should try it.
Speaker 6: No, I don't want to waste my time. I got
Speaker 6: any things to do with this body anyway. Looking about
Speaker 6: the Gilbert Arena, what did you do?
Speaker 1: You would you would hear the whole for the whole
Speaker 1: damn near three hour interview? What were your thoughts of it? Man?
Speaker 6: I feel like y'all wasted a little bit too much
Speaker 6: time on that w W E moment. We know nothing
Speaker 6: was going to happen at that at the Crypto Arena,
Speaker 6: but I wanted you all to talk about because I
Speaker 6: watched the show all the time. They're good at you know,
Speaker 6: are you in the talent versus greatness, because that's where
Speaker 6: I come in because I don't value all of like
Speaker 6: the rings and the all NBA teams that y'all vote.
Speaker 3: For and stuff like that. I go with for what
Speaker 3: I see.
Speaker 6: So I wanted you to go in there, and I
Speaker 6: wanted all of y'all to put put together like a
Speaker 6: starting five of players minus the accomplishments, just about how
Speaker 6: nice a player is. When I say nice, were from
Speaker 6: New York, so I'm nice at different Stephan Marberry, Kenny
Speaker 6: Anderson like just nice, not your resume. So if I
Speaker 6: asked you to give me five, what would it be.
Speaker 6: We're not talking rings, we're not talking resumes. Just nice
Speaker 6: five and don't.
Speaker 1: Put it just nice. But when you say just nice,
Speaker 1: I could I could retort by asking the question, Josh,
Speaker 1: are you talking one on one? Are you talking five
Speaker 1: or five team NBA basketball? When you're talking.
Speaker 6: About no, no, no, it comes in the lines of an
Speaker 6: NBA player. Like I said, when I name nice, I'm
Speaker 6: talking Kevin Durant, who's not in the goat conversation. But
Speaker 6: if you want to talk about the nicest players that
Speaker 6: you've ever seen play, he's in the top five.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that. I think that Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: is maybe the greatest scorer we've ever seen. So he's
Speaker 1: a professional scorer. He'thing, He's something special to behold. I
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that, But.
Speaker 3: You would to put him in your top five resident
Speaker 3: with his resume.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Would you put him
Speaker 1: ahead of Kobe?
Speaker 3: I would they in the top five? Kevin Durant to be.
Speaker 1: My okay, would you put Lebron in the top five? No,
Speaker 1: you would have put Lebron in the top five.
Speaker 6: I'm doing in position. Kevin Durant is the nicest small
Speaker 6: forward I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: So you put Kevin Durant ahead of Lebron?
Speaker 3: As far as being nice, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You'd put Kobe Bryant in top five? So who would you?
Speaker 1: So where would you put Jordan?
Speaker 3: He not he wasn't nice like that.
Speaker 6: It's the resume talking right there, the six for six
Speaker 6: and stuff like if we've seen him playing in the park,
Speaker 6: we're picking Kobe. We're not not twenty four Kobe eight,
Speaker 6: Kobe Athletics still dunking jumpers. I'm not with the Jordan stuff.
Speaker 1: And you know that Josh is nobody that would pick
Speaker 1: Michael Jordans they saw Michael Jordan. There's nobody that would
Speaker 1: pick Michael Jordan, that would pick anybody ahead of Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1: Talk if you saw, if you saw, if you saw
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, I've seen him, you would not pick anybody
Speaker 1: ahead of Michael.
Speaker 3: George's telling me my opinion. This is what I'm talking
Speaker 3: about with this media stuff. All right, so you got
Speaker 3: two more. Who's the point?
Speaker 1: Who's your power forward?
Speaker 6: Janni's yeah, I don't want to doing over jump hooks
Speaker 6: all day.
Speaker 1: I don't so in other words, so, in other words,
Speaker 1: Yanna's dunking on everybody but struggling to do almost anything else.
Speaker 3: He gets his own shot on a fast break, he'll
Speaker 3: run it by hisself. He's dunking on you. He used
Speaker 3: to shoot a little bit. He not even. He don't even.
Speaker 6: He don't even want to shoot no more. I'm Shaquille
Speaker 6: on nil now I'm wearing number thirty four.

Speaker 1: five rings. You're just taking out rings. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm not mad as I want to want to see
Speaker 1: you play. I don't want to see jump hooks all right.
Speaker 1: Where what's Kevin Garnet? Where would he be in that?
Speaker 3: Not better than you? Honest man, He's right, he'd probably
Speaker 3: be second, okay?
Speaker 1: And your center is who gotta go with?
Speaker 3: Joker? Wow?
Speaker 1: Your kitchen? Yeah, I mean the way he looks in
Speaker 1: this day and age is the walking triple double. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know we come from the day's Kareem map dude,
