Speaker 2: So?

135
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: Just talk about the impact he had on you. At

136
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 4: Richard's as yo, he was an assistant coach coach.

137
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was assistant coach when I was a Richard.

138
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: So I used to when I was younger, with my brother,

139
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: I used to go to their practices, you know what

140
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: I mean, because my brother was kind of like babysitting

141
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: I guess right, So I had to go to their

142
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: practice and I'll just be sitting on the side, you know,

143
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: just watch them. Then after practice he always grabbed me

144
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: and be like, yo, doing come down here, let's get

145
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: some shots in whatever. So he started like building that

146
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: in me early, so when I got to school, like

147
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: it was just like an automatic, like, hey, d come on,

148
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: let's get some work in. So he kind of built

149
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: that that work habit in me that I didn't even know,

150
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: like that you needed, you know what I mean, to

151
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: go to the next level. And then from there he

152
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: started doing live things like hey, you know, find a player,

153
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: you know whatever, whoever's your favorite player, watch what they do,

154
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: and then let's work on it. So then Q Richard's

155
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: my favorite player, you know what I mean, because it

156
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: was somebody like size wise, I'm like, you know what,

157
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: we're about, the same eyes. And he had a relationship

158
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: with Q, so it became easy for me to be like,

159
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna follow Q. So we so with him, what

160
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 3: he did to me, like he took me to the

161
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: Paul Games, you know what I mean, He took me.

162
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: He took me to like kind of watch and see it.

163
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: And also so then and then we worked on whatever

164
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: we seen. Like I remember Q was an amazing rebounder,

165
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: so I was like, yo, I won't be a good rebound.

166
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: So we started working on certain ways of how like

167
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: the tricks of the trades, like what you need to do.

168
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: He had me so cold, bro, he had me doing

169
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: stuff that I ain't I ain't know that even existed.

170
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: What's funny is he the one who got me started

171
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: rebound like that? Like when we were you know, my

172
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: grade school team, we had a dope team, you know

173
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So he used to be like, you know,

174
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: we had two good guards. We had Michael Timberlay was

175
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: a center, he was like six four six five and

176
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: grade school, we had my cousin Nate, and like we

177
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: had a cool squad. So it was like, you know,

178
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 4: it was a lot of dudes to get get it.

179
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: And he used to be like, everybody can't get the ball.

180
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: He was like like, which one of y'all? You know

181
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: how you talk to You're gonna be a big dope

182
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: and you like, he's like, look what are you doing?

183
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: Like go get to go get a rebound.

184
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: He was like, nobody yet, ham My cousin they so

185
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: like he had a crew though, but it would used

186
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: to be like everybody can't shoot. He was like, which

187
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: one of you food is gonna be smart and just

188
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: say I don't need the ball. He was like, somebody,

189
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: you don't need anybody to give you this. Nobody can

190
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: take this from me. You the one who controlled that.

191
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: So I was like, man, like, you know what, that's

192
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: pretty smart right there. Let me just kind of figure

193
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: out a way to camp out under this glass and

194
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: I'm just try and get tippings and like, you know

195
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. So then I started figuring that out,

196
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 4: and he was like, see he figured it out. He

197
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: was like the rest of y'all just want to shoot

198
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: the ball. He was like he right next to the basket.

199
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 4: That's the easiest place to score. And you know, ned

200
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 4: just like you said, he would just give you a

201
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: little teed bits and just you know what I'm saying.

202
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,640

00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: was always up ready, But it was one time where

226
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,840

229
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: the street. He was gone. I had to chase him

230
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: all the ways down in the gray duty. Then he

231
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: upgraded to a great Saturn's just like you said, like,

232
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: but like he used to take us to the tournaments,

233
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: like when we' in grade school used to go to

234
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,280

Speaker 1: I didn't play ninth grade only. I started playing high

243
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,720

244
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,960

285
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: He's the murder Bro. They did me so wrong. But

286
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,640

Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

289
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 4: Like because even as a sen he averaged like thirty

290
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 4: one his numbers.

291
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: He came out of nowhere, like out of nowhere.

292
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: It was like when I came, I didn't play ninth grade,

293
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: so I didn't think nobody knew me. I only played

294
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: two teams. We played six games. Eight games we played

295
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: two what they played and two.

296
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: I didn't think nobody even knew who I was.

297
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: I went to the spotlight with.

298
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Butler, and next thing, you know, my ranking just went up,

299
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: like just went sky high. And now I'm playing in tournaments.

300
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: The first turn that I went to was the Purdue tournament.

301
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: I went went there and I met this when I

302
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: met Q them. So now I'm playing like the lower

303
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: level and I'm playing like the higher level with qto,

304
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm playing turn rooms. We killed them by playing the

305
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: low level. But you went on that team. It was

306
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Juran's Howard and all that, Like it was it was

307
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: all them on the team.

308
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: Right.

309
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: So then the next year I went and did us

310
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,640

00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,520

369
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: Hall.

370
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: It was disrespectful, Bro, it was. It was great to watch.

371
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: Man. It's probably been over twenty years. We talked about

372
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: these stories and talked about just them.

373
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: Days with my mama coming in driving the van and

374
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And just all them days

375
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: we have, like I say, you came out of nowhere

376
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: and you was outside of me. Of course, you know

377
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You was the best player on the team.

378
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: Like we needed you. It had been a tougher summer

379
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: for us if we didn't have you.

380
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: And because you didn't come.

381
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: Up in the circuit, all the rest of these guys,

382
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: I'd never seen them for the last three years. I

383
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: was playing down and I was playing high, so they

384
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: was catching up to me. And once they caught up

385
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: to me from playing with q Nem because that's the

386
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: first group I played with, and like Qutenim showed me

387
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: a whole another level of Illinois basketball.

388
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: Like I heard about the Kg's.

389
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: The Ronnie Fields, the Benji's, all the great ones, you know,

390
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: the Tim Hardaways, the Antoine Walkers, all the great ones

391
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: from Chicago. But then when now I'm on I'm in

392
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: the high school level and I just come from playing

393
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: two teams to see how Qutenim roll q looked like

394
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: a superhero to me because he was the leader of

395
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: their crew. They were the best AAU team in the world.

396
00:16:53,600 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: And fo they players go to the same school they

397
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: a young I'm like, then, my school is on strike.

398
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: The first two months, like the whole August old September.

399
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: My school on strike. So they like, yeah, you might

400
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: as well come to with me. Hell, you're gonna win

401
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: a championship this year. We thought I was about to

402
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: go because we weren't even going to school. I went

403
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: to a tournament with them. We wasn't going to school,

404
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: and ship I was about to go and not trying

405
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: to change my mind and stay.

406
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: I was spooked. Big city, you know, too many buildings.

407
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: Ain't like that.

408
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: Down south, down south Illinois ain't like that.

409
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

410
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to give a special shout out to Hargrove

411
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,760

00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: killers and and shooters that came out of Illinois, that

419

420
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: back to back in Illinois and say something he ain't

421
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: get the opportunity to.

422
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: Make the McDonald's game.

423
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: I know how important them them opportunity gets when you

424
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: get a chance to showcase yourself when people haven't seen you,

425
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: they just heard your name a lot. So what was

426
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: your thought of your thoughts on that him not making

427
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: it being back to back one of the best states.

428
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: Well, I asked about history.

429
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: Obviously that that makes no sense, Like you know what

430
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: I'm saying, I can't even compute that. You know what

431
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: I'm saying. It really makes no sense. You know, but

432
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: you're talking to somebody who didn't get to go to anything,

433
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. And I tell my son

434
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 3: this all the time. It's like, you know what I'm saying,

435
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: Yes you want that, Honord, Yes you want those things.

436
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 3: I mean, that's in life. We always all of us

437
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: want it. We always want to be recognizing for what

438
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: we've done. But man, just continue to get motivation, like, Okay,

439
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: they don't believe, make them believe, you know what I'm saying,

440
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 3: And like it's unfortunate. I wish the kid got an opportunity.

441
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: I know you say in the iversing game, which is.

442
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: Great doing that.

443
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 3: Use that for motivation, young man. You know what I'm saying, like,

444
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: make sure they know like they go, they don't know

445
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 3: your name.

446
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: At some point we got to stop holding games like

447
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: that as the pedalestal of the success rate. Like Ali

448
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: iverson a Hall of famisduring the game and he have

449
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: real players and stuff come to the game, and Ali

450
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: Irrison being there with these kids is bigger. It's just

451
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: on the same level as a McDonald's game. I don't

452
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: want these kids to think like, oh, just because you

453
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: ain't make the McDonald I know it's a lot of

454
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: greats that playing in it, but it's a lot of

455
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: greats too that haven't played in it. So I just

456
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: want them kids to, you know, don't hold that as

457
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: the biggest bar.

458
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, And like d Wade said, you're looking at a

459
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer who ain't said foot in the McDonald's game.

460
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: So that go your example.

461
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 4: He's reached the pinnacle, all Stars, all of those things,

462
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 4: got his own shoes, got his own fashion stuff, all

463
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: of that, and he ain't playing on McDonald's game.

464
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 3: So you know, you could do whatever you still need

465
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: to do, just keep going.

490
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: Like.

491
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: So I had only had three scholarship offers pretty much.

492
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: And like for me, it was like Coach Crean was

493
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: so like his ash for turning that program around, his

494
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: passion for making me, helping me grow into a man,

495
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: his past, for graduation, like all these things he had

496
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: for me that no one never really told me before,

497
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like I seen his eyes

498
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 3: that he wanted something for me that maybe I didn't

499
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: even know I can have myself, and I was like,

500
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 3: for me, it was a no brainer. I knew to

501
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 3: forget the school. I knew the coach and the man

502
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 3: that I wanted to be around and to be with.

503
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 3: So I committed to Marquette, but I committed to Tom

504
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 3: Crane first, you know what I'm saying. So from there

505
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 3: it was a no brainer. But Marquette was actually the

506
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: first basket college game that I ever went to. Me

507
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: and Coach Adams went to a Marquette, Wisconsin college game.

508
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: We drove up and I never heard of Marquette before.

509
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: He was like, you want to go to the game.

510
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: I'm like yeah, He's like, We're gonna go this Marqutte

511
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 3: wiscons game.

512
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: Like who?

513
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: And we drove up, went to the game and I

514
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 3: seen see the l and they sucked too, but they

515
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 3: had like fifteen points a halftime. They were terrible, but

516
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: I was there, like I never seen it, you know

517
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So to be able to see a

518
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: college game, to be able to be exposed to a

519
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 3: different college that I didn't even know that right up

520
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 3: the street from the crib. So when they started recruiting me,

521
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: I was looking even more, like, you know, he's on

522
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: the circuit. I see Marquette. Look, you know the polos,

523
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 3: and I see them in all my games. I'm like, okay,

524
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: that ship.

525
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: I know that.

526
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 3: That was the first college game, first college game I

527
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 3: went to.

528
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: The first college game I ever went to My auntie's

529
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: best friend son got a scholarship to Mark Kutt and

530
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: he was played for Marquette. And the first college game

531
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: I went to was more Kid in Saint Louis. You

532
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: I say, that's the first college game, kid game.

533
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 3: So that was you know what I'm saying. That was

534
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: my my process there. Man, It was like once I

535
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 3: got there, and then like before that, so I committed,

536
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: me and old d'Arte blankson. So Darte and him committed

537
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 3: together to Marquette. You know, what I'm saying, because me

538
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: and no Dark, actually, me and No Dark played together

539
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 3: when we was in like sixth grade. We played in

540
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 3: this little, this little local thing in Blue Island.

541
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: Right.

542
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: He was that dude, and I wasn't getting over.

543
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: Dante was nice.

544
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: He was nice.

545
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: He was just too cool.

546
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: He was so cool. He was so cool. Well, I

547
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 3: remember like being a lead, like a little kid. I'm

548
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: I'm on the bench watching O Dartel. He was like

549
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 3: the man on the team. And then as we go

550
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: to high school, we competing against each other. He go

551
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 3: to Hillcrasts I go to Richard. So we play against

552
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 3: each other every time we play againstch other, both of

553
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: us getting thirties whatever. But he still was better than

554
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 3: me in the eyes of everybody. He was taller, you

555
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. He had you know, he could shoot,

556
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 3: he could do different stuff. I couldn't do it at

557
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 3: the time. So then we played Larry Butler together. We

558
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: played with Illinois Warriors together, and so we got this

559
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 3: bar and we're like, bro, what you thinking? He was

560
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: like man Mark had one of my teams. I'm like, bro,

561
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 3: mine too, Let's go there. So we committed the Marquette

562
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: together at the same time and around that time too,

563
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: Like I remember I was trying to pass my ACT,

564
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: so I was, Man, I took the ACT test about

565
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 3: five times and had all kind of study halls everything, Bro,

566
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: I could not pass it for nothing, man. So Krean

567
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 3: was like, Coach Crean's like, Yo, no matter what, we

568
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 3: still want you to come here, we still want you

569
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 3: to be a part of this or whatever. So that

570
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 3: meant so much to me though. So it was a

571
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 3: brain of daughter. I just I was like, I'm going

572
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 3: to mar cat Man.

573
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: Let me just say about the ACT test, bro, Like, literally,

574
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 4: this is no lies told. Like our coached at Whinney Young.

575
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: You know Whennie Young was a magnet school, all that

576
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 4: education driven. So coach Stan, you know a lot of

577
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: kids wait until their senior year to start taking the

578
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: test and they now used to taking the test and

579
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: all that. So Coach Dan deal with us. He had

580
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: all of us start taking the test at sophomores. You

581
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like, sign up, we taking the test.

582
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: Bro.

583
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 4: I took the test and got like an eighteen as

584
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 4: a sophomore. Now mind, you just shows you that this

585
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 4: test ain't really you know, it's to me, it's flawed

586
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: because I didn't really take the test. I was just like, man,

587
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: I'm just about to feel this, ain't I ain't really

588
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 4: I ain't got to take this. I'm just trying to

589
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 4: put feel out and then take me a quick nap

590
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 4: and you feel me for the next brug got an

591
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 4: eighteen bro said, I'm never taking the test again. I'm

592
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 4: taking you need a seventeen and a two point five.

593
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: It's done like you feel me like, And it was

594
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 4: like some people just get nervous at taking ask and

595
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: it's not that they, you know what I'm saying, not

596
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 4: smarter whatever. Some people have problems taking like a three

597
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 4: hour test, and it's just, you know what I'm saying,

598
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: people minds work different to.

599
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: Me, Like that's half I'm and I'm talking about like

600
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 3: I had.

601
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: Friends that when you young, you know, there was like

602
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 4: honor student that was not doing well on these tests

603
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,239
Speaker 4: on a essays. It was pressure and stuff like that.

604
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 4: So it's like those tests are not like.

605
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: You know, you needed to go to the next level,

606
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,080

Speaker 3: Like you know, they combine your scores from the first test.

610
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,680

611
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 3: get a seventeen on this one in the seventh. I

612
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,159

00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 3: you know obviously you know, going to Marquet when I

622
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 3: went there, Brian Water was now the coach. Brian Water

623
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: was the man on the team at the time, and

624
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: see there was still like see you know, hard headed,

625
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: stubborn sea there not buying in yet light. Yeah, yeah,

626
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So they wasn't good. I

627
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 3: never first of all, I'm never I've never seen a

628
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: coach on the player as much as as coach Crean was.

629
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: Don't see them to the point where I'm not even

630
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 3: going like hes gonna break. He ain't gonna make it, Bro,

631
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: but so we were That team was terrible, right, you know,

632
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: from the standpoint of like talent wise, it just didn't

633
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: have a lot of talent. Play hard will coach doesn't

634
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: have a lot of talent. So I remember I set

635
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: out that whole year and I got a chance to

636
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 3: like practice with the guys. That's when I really knew

637
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 3: I can go to the next level, because honestly I was.

638
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 3: I feel like I was better than.

639
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 4: Everybody would tell you, like I would talk to I

640
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 4: would talk to see that like you know, I mean,

641
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna lead my own teammates.

642
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: But when I was killing you, they would.

643
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: Put him on the scout team. See that would tell

644
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 4: me every other every time, you know how much I

645
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 4: talked to see you every day every week? All they

646
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 4: see that'll be like bro, like bro, like d wade

647
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 4: out of here at the next year, Like bro, if

648
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 4: he was playing this year, we would be so cold.

649
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 4: He like this dude be murdering everybody, like we'll be

650
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 4: playing together because he could practice. He just can't play

651
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 4: like dog practice.

652
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: So at that point, like and I'm like, oh, I

653
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 3: can go to you know, I don't know the game time,

654
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: but like one thing, coach Crane did to me too.

655
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: He'll bring in so, like say Doctor Rivers coming town.

656
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: They playing the Bucks. Doc Rivers told come in, he'd

657
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: come to practice, he'll teach me something. He'd come and

658
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: talk to me. Everybody who came in. Coach Crean made

659
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 3: sure I got FaceTime with him. I didn't know he

660
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 3: was molding me, you know, for something bigger. So when

661
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: I got a chance the next year to finally take

662
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: the court, you know, obviously I was just excited to play.

663
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 3: But like right away, I'm thirty balls, boom, boom, I'm like, wait,

664
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 3: hold on, right, hold on, you know what I'm saying.

665
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: So right off, first game thirty, I'm like, oh, you

666
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But the summer before that, man,

667
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 3: we worked so hard. Dog. When I'm telling anybody, you

668
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 3: asking Mark, Coach Crean was a mad man this summer

669
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 3: that team got invite to the n I T. He said, no,

670
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: we're not taking the bed to go to n I T.

671
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: We're gonna work, bro. He worked us so hard to

672
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 3: the point where, like before we work out, your heart

673
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: is just beating real fast. You don't know what's gonna happen.

674
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: You listening to me, you love. You know, we had

675
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: the little sparrow staircase. You listening, you hear him going off,

676
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: You like, dang, he mad today. But he was building

677
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: something in us, you know what I'm saying. For us

678
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: to go from nothing to something, we had to have

679
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 3: this toughness, you know, this mental toughness that was stronger

680
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: than anything. And he was building something else was Bro.

681
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 3: He worked us so hard, and once I got in

682
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 3: the games, Bro, the game was a breeze, you know,

683
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: like chance, this is a breeze, big fella, you know

684
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So we got out there, man, we

685
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 3: just slowly, like see, they all started to buy in,

686
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: and he started hooping my first year playing. See that

687
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: was last year he was hooping.

688
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: Bro.

689
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: I was the most time to play on our team.

690
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: But see that was the best player on our team.

691
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: And we went to the tournament that first year. Like

692
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: we we got ourselves in the position when we was

693
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: a fifth seed in the tournament. You know what I'm saying.

694
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: We feeling good, Marque been here in a while, me

695
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: and see there from the crib. We didn't build something.

696
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 3: We were talking a lot of stuff. We get smacked

697
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 3: first game that twelve five seed. They smack us, but

698
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 3: we built something, you know what I'm saying. So like that, man,

699
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: who was it? I don't even know, Bro, there's a

700
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: twelve seed. Bro, we even know who they was. The

701
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: next round, which was Kentucky, We like, yo, we're gonna

702
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: play Kentucky. We just think we got We thought we've

703
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 3: been there. You know what I'm saying that we got

704
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: a rude awakening. Man, this is March. So we so

705
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: we had started building something, you know what I'm saying.

706
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: We got to the tournament that year and then the

707
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: next year come back, like you know what I'm saying,

708
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: Like obviously I'm coming back. We got a lot of

709
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: like it coming freshmen coming in Dean or Steve Novada.

710
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: We got these good young guys coming in. We just

711
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: kept building, man, to the point where you know, obviously

712
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: we went to the final four. But like the work

713
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: that we put in behind the scenes was like to

714
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: build that school to where it is today. It was tough, bro,

715
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, But like it was worth

716
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: that honestleep. But you know what I'm saying, just the

717
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: same things, just like Richards, just like you know, like

718
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 3: I always had to make my way, and people still

719
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: didn't get me my due, and they just kept driving me.

720
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I was like, all right,

721
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like they don't get my due, Kentucky,

722
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: take this triple double. You know what I mean? What

723
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 3: y'all want? What else can I do? You know what

724
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: I'm saying to let y'all know that I'm for real.

725
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: Do you remember that key moment where that season kind

726
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: of turned, where y'all made their run to.

727
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: Go to the final four in the conference tournament. First game,

728
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 3: we number one seed, we got smacked, smacked. I had

729
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: a terrible game, but I had like ten turnoffs. I

730
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: had a triple double the wrong way. Oh and boy,

731
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: when I tell you all we had was practice time.

732
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: Coach Creen was on us dog, he lit in tours.

733
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: But we need did that, you know what I'm saying.

734
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 2: We wanted to.

735
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: We needed that because like last time we was in

736
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: the turn, we went in with a big head. You

737
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, we go we got this. This

738
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: time we went in nervous. You know what I'm saying.

739
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 3: We was a third seed going in, but we was

740
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 3: we were nervous of like what could happen. Right, So,

741
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: but that was a turning point when we got to

742
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: that Conrace tournament. We got smacked by the day the

743
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: last seedon the tournament of the eighth seed or whatever

744
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: the case may be, and we got our mind right,

745
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 3: got our game together, went to that tournament that did work.

746
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 4: After that, obviously, you know, had the great run. Then

747
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 4: you get drafted by Miami like theft.

748
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but wait, let's let's talk about before that. Let's

749
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: talk about like our conversations that we had. So I'm

750
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: going through that year, right, and like, of course I

751
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 3: want to go to the league. But still I'm like,

752
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: no one is really talking about me like that. Right.

753
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: So I'm on the phone with Q and were just

754
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: talking about the league, and every day I'm living through y'all.

755
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying with y'all out there. Do

756
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I'm living through y'all. You

757
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,239
Speaker 3: know what I mean? I want this, I want that. Actually, well,

758
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 3: Q told me one day, he was like, Bro, He's

759
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: like I just went into the you know, saying the office,

760
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: your name was on the tray. I was like what

761
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, Bro, like you one of the top

762
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: guards I'm like, for real, I'm like, you think I

763
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: can come out? You know what I'm saying. So we

764
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: talking were going back and forth, and that's for me,

765
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: like outside of like I never talked about with Coach Crane,

766
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: Like we we never talked about the NBA. We was

767
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: focused on cars. But like on this other end, I had,

768
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: you know, I had a guy in the least. So

769
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, he giving me this confidence that, bro, you

770
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: could play at this level. He played this league whatever.

771
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: So I'm like, cool, let me just get through this tournament. There,

772
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: I'm out, you know what I'm saying. But like before

773
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 3: I even got to the point of entering the draft,

774
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: it was big for me to be able to have

775
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: somebody that I was close to tell me what the

776
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: NBA level was about without you know, Coach Creane on

777
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: about it. He wasn't playing that. We were focused on

778
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 3: agent early inside track early. So obviously I go through that,

779
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 3: we go to the final four, and I still haven't

780
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: had this conversation with Coach Crean yet because like you

781
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 3: know what I mean, like that he was like a

782
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,800

873
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: my little apartment because I had to move off campus

874
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: because I had a son, Ziera, was born when I

875
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 3: was in school. So I'm about to get out the

876
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: car and I still ain't really told him, like Coach,

877
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 3: I'm out. I don't care what, but I'm out. And

878
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: then like I'm about to get out the car, and

879
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: he was like, yoah, wait hold on, and he put

880
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 3: his hand out and he was in there. He was

881
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 3: just like good luck. He's like, I'll be over to

882
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: heavy back your bags that like you out of here.

883
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, He's like, but you're gonna finish school.

884
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 3: Ain't gonna tell nobody you're going to class. You're gonna finish.

885
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: You're gonna tell nobody this, you know what I'm saying.

886
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 3: So that was the process and the whole journey before

887
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 3: I got a chance to get to the draft and

888
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 3: get to my workouts, you know, and eventually get drafted

889
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 3: by the Heat.

890
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: You was one of the best drafts ever, like mellow

891
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: Lebron and you hold it your own through your career.

892
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: What you thought about Miami picking you up, it was

893
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: a shuffle. You knew there was all these superstar players

894
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: in this draft, and this draft could be one of

895
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: the most specialist drafts ever. But like you said, you

896
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: want to it was like ify on you, he maybe

897
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: can be good.

898
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 3: They was like Lebron and Mellow, like d Wade can

899
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: go from four to twenty. Yeah, I didn't know. They said,

900
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 3: you want dark old, dark old, militant. I want Mellow,

901
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 3: I want Lebron. So outside of there, now you can

902
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 3: go even Chris, Like I mean, I heard about Chris,

903
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 3: but we didn't know. I didn't know how high Chris

904
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 3: was gonna go. He was young, he was talented, but

905
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 3: you know, didn't really know. But all I know is

906
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 3: they was like d Wade go anywhere from for to twenty.

907
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 3: So I'm at the draft like, well, I guess we're

908
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 3: gonna see what's gonna happen. But I did think that

909
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 3: I was going to Chicago, you know what I'm saying.

910
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 3: Chicago had the seventh pick. I worked out for the

911
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 3: Bulls twice. It was a lot of chatter about me

912
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 3: going to Bulls. They needed a guard. You know. That's

913
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 3: when the summer after Jay Will had the motorcycle accident,

914
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 3: so they had just lost him as the PG they

915
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 3: needed a guard. So I'm like cool, like I'm going

916
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 3: to Chicago. So I'm actually kind of sitting there like

917
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm going seven, you know what I'm saying. So my agent,

918
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: Henry Thomas, he had Chris bossaying me, so Chris get

919
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 3: draft fourth. So he go to Chris table, Chris get

920
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 3: draft fourth. And I'm sitting there like, yeah, Chris, boy,

921
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

922
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how when he got for me, I had

Speaker 1: got from them that you like, this stuck with me

1033
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: longer than any other thing that stuck with me with

1034
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: any other player.

1035
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 3: The three individual players would be shocked. So and Lebron

1036
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 3: it was probably the three I took the most from Shaq.

1037
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 3: I was so quiet. I was introvert, Like I didn't

1038
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 3: talk much. I didn't let my person on the show.

1039
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: Shot kind of opened me up, you know what I'm saying.

1040
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 3: When he gave me the nickname Flash, and you know

1041
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like I bought into the Flash character,

1042
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 3: and like he started opening me up. So I started

1043
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 3: being more like, you know, I started speaking for myself.

1044
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: I start saying what I wanted, you know what I'm saying, Like,

1045
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: I started being a little I had a little more

1046
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 3: posized to my leader, to myself. Yeah, so he kind

1047
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 3: of brought that side out of me. You know, Alonzo

1048
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 3: brought off the y'all know, Zoe, he brought out the

1049
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 3: you know, you got to take care of your body.

1050
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 3: You need a chef, you needed this, you needed that,

1051
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,200

00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: Like.

1053
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 3: So eventually, once I started to listen, because at first

1054
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 3: I was young, I don't need none of that. Once

1055
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 3: I started listening, I was like, Okay, Zoe said, I

1056
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: gotta do this. I gotta do that because my body.

1057
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, this right here, this is everything.

1058
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, this, don't go right there.

1059
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 3: I can make that investment because this is gonna help

1060
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: me make this you know what I'm saying, Like, if

1061
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 3: I make an investment of spending five hundred k on

1062
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 3: my body with all this stuff, it's gonna help me

1063
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 3: make millions of dollars later. So mentally was important, you know,

1064
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 3: in my life. And then Wellbron just being around him,

1065
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 3: I've never seen nobody work as hard as he did,

1066
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying from the standpoint like on

1067
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 3: his body, and then how like how he played in

1068
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: the games and how he practiced. You know, I didn't.

1069
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 3: I never was a good practice player. I was I

1070
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 3: was terrible. If they gave us contracts out of being

1071
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 3: a practice player, I would have been the lowest paid

1072
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 3: person in the league.

1073
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,839

Speaker 3: dimension player, you know what I mean. I always try

1226
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 3: to bring like multiple things to the team. People ask me,

1227
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 3: how can you how can you, you know, take a

1228
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 3: back seat to this guy. How can you come off

1229
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 3: the bench at this point? How can you I haven't

1230
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 3: always been a star player. I've always had to figure

1231
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 3: out a way to be to be on the court.

1232
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like the star player, he

1233
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 3: gonna get the ball. How can I figure out a

1234
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 3: way to still make it and do something, you know

1235
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, And that's kind of how I've been

1236
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 3: my whole life. Now, I became that guy that got

1237
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 3: all the shots, that got the ball all time, but

1238
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 3: that wasn't always my role. So I've always tried to

1239
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 3: master whatever role you know, I've been in. So for

1240
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 3: me to be able to do multiple things on the

1241
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 3: FLOORI doll and to be able to have that record

1242
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 3: of the most blocks overall, that's that's big for me.

1243
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 4: I don't think people talk about it enough or acknowledging

1244
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 4: enough what you did in allowing Lebron to come here

1245
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 4: when he came and y'all for him, the Big Three

1246
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 4: and all that, like that was unbelievable and all that,

1247
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 4: But like people don't understand the sacrifice you had to make,

1248
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 4: Like this was you know what I'm saying, This is

1249
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 4: absolutely Wade, counting your team, YO, franchise, yo, everything, and

1250
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 4: you open the doors knowing that this is Lebron. At

1251
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 4: some point he's gonna be the bigger entity for you.

1252
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 4: To be able to do that like that take a

1253
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 4: level of being humbled even still, like people still who

1254
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 4: weren't the guy whatever when they get that I'm not

1255
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 4: about to relinquish it, like.

1256
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

1257
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 4: If I have a choice to say no to it

1258
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 4: or whatever, like and you had that choice, just talk

1259
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 4: about like how you was able to do that and

1260
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 4: what you know made you be able to make that decision,

1261
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 4: because like you know how I did. Like dudes would

1262
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 4: be like now I don't want to come over and

1263
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 4: take up my sign, like no, this.

1264
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 3: Is my you know what i mean?

1265
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 4: Like that made everything be able to happen. If you

1266
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 4: don't say, hey, yeah, it could happen, pack and still

1267
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 4: bring them in, but it's gonna be just head bumping

1268
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 4: the whole time. But like with you, the way you

1269
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 4: took it, it made everything possible.

1270
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: You know what. Like I've always been secure in who

1271
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 3: I am in the space that I walk in and

1272
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 3: I live in, Like I'm secure my man hood of

1273
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 3: who I am. Bro, you know, I know who I

1274
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 3: am and I don't try to be nobody else. I'm

1275
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 3: me at all times. So I'm secure in that, you

1276
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So with Bron coming down here,

1277
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 3: like I wasn't worried about necessary him taking my shine

1278
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 3: or taking this in there, like it's only one d

1279
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 3: way and not staying from the standpoint like oh from

1280
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 3: a from a basketball stammer, just from overall, you know.

1281
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 3: So I was comfortable in that. Ultimately for me, man,

1282
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 3: what it came down to is ME sitting back and

1283
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 3: I want a championship in two thousand and six. And

1284
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 3: I could have ride off. I could have rolled off

1285
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 3: in the sunset and won at one championship and just

1286
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 3: tried to get as much statistical things as I can get,

1287
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But ultimately, Bro, I just

1288
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 3: wanted to win, and this league was getting challenging. It

1289
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,919
Speaker 3: was getting tougher. Once KG and Ray Island and Paul

1290
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 3: Piers and Ronner, once they linked up, Bro, the lead changed,

1291
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, the lead change and you you weren't

1292
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,720
Speaker 3: winning with just one star player no more. The league

1293
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 3: had changed.

1294
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: And I knew it when we seen it have it

1295
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: as something everybody knows. Shit just got rid, it got rial.

1296
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 3: So listen and I said, after we lost it to them,

1297
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 3: you know they going out like this, I said, this

1298
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 3: would be the last time I get put it on

1299
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 3: in the first round. Man, I'm not doing this no more.

1300
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 2: Kobe was loaded up with gasol and buying.

1301
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: And you had KG them loaded up with Paul ray

1302
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: Allen and so.

1303
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 3: Think about how we I'm thinking now you know Toronto

1304
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 3: came out of nowhere. It started to be special. It

1305
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 3: really got dd. So now you know how this league go.

1306
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 3: Years go fast. You know what I'm saying. You go

1307
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 3: from this young superstar as young pup and next thing

1308
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 3: you know, now you twenty seven to twenty eight, thirties

1309
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 3: right around the corner. And it wasn't like it is

1310
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 3: today when I thirty is like whatever thirty. Back then

1311
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, you're on your way out. So

1312
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 3: for me, I was like, man, like this move gotta

1313
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 3: be made, Like I got to do something now before

1314
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 3: I'm in my thirties and I haven't experienced it again

1315
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 3: because once I know, everybody like if you never wanted

1316
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 3: like you want to win it, but once you have

1317
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 3: won it, you know what that feeling is like, and

1318
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 3: you don't get that again. Bro, it's worse. For me,

1319
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 3: it's all about winning. I play a team sport. Individually,

1320
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 3: I'm secure who I am, I know what I could do,

1321
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 3: I know what I bring, But I play a team sport.

1322
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 3: I want team success. And it so happened that Lebron, myself,

1323
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 3: Chris Barson, a lot of others was free agents at

1324
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 3: the same time. I'll sit here to you guys, and

1325
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 3: I promise right hand up. It was a bible here

1326
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 3: I put it in. I never thought me and Lebron

1327
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 3: would play together, never thought it was possible. People think

1328
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 3: we had this thing playing down. I want no plans, bro,

1329
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 3: this was right they thought we had like they thought

1330
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 3: this was started in two thousand and three. In two

1331
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 3: we're gonna play together, Like you don't know that.

1332
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was allmini for about two years, low for

1333
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: about two years.

1334
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 3: I have no means about all the conversations, but it

1335
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 3: wasn't even though it was never about that. And then

1336
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 3: we got a chance to like sit down and be like,

1337
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 3: I think we both reached on our own. Yo, I

1338
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 3: want more out of his career than what I'm what

1339
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 3: I'm experiencing now, Like, yeah, I got a scoring title,

1340
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 3: Yeah I got a Finals Emmy p Yeah I got this,

1341
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 3: I got that, Bron got VPS, he got scoring tires. This.

1342
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 3: Then it's kind of like that's not enough. You want more,

1343
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 3: so you know what I mean. I remember the call.

1344
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 3: I remember going to my agent office and he was like, yo,

1345
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 3: Lebron and Leon at the time was his agent, like

00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 3: He's like, Yo, where your head at? And I'm like,

1352
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 3: that means? You know what I'm saying that The conversation

1353
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,439
Speaker 3: went from there to us saying like if you cool

1354
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 3: with it, I'm cool with it. Let's rock together. I'm like, cool,

1355
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 3: let's do it.

1356
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 2: Let me ask you.

1357
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,439
Speaker 1: This could have been another team, Yeah, so it could

1358
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: have been another thing.

1359
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 2: Could say, was just Miami that this could have worked in.

1360
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 3: Miami was the only well, I don't know, but I

1361
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 3: know at the time when we were trying to make

1362
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 3: a decision of what city we wanted to play in,

1363
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 3: what we wanted to be like, we had to keep

1364
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 3: our options open to these other Chicago was was was

1365
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 3: on the top of both of our lists. So it

1366
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 3: was pretty much Chicago. Miami was on the top. We

1367
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 3: looked at New York the possibility because we're gonna ride together,

1368
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 3: We're gonna play together. Let's see what these other cities

1369
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 3: got to offer. So Chicago at the time they had

1370
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 3: to offer, they had two max contracts and they had

1371
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 3: a young d Rose before the MVP rolls this season,

1372
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 3: before they had a low all Dang, they had Noah,

1373
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 3: they had you know what I'm saying. They had all

1374
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 3: these pieces. So I'm like, in the city in Chicago,

1375
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 3: in the biggest, one of the biggest markets. Craz But

1376
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 3: then it was like EU and d Rolls, that's a lot,

1377
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 3: It's one ball we all needed. That may be too much,

1378
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Defense, Yeah, but we thought

1379
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 3: of listen. But then it was like but then Miami,

1380
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 3: to their credit, they did it to where they had

1381
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 3: enough money to get three max players. They messed the

1382
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 3: game up. It was like, wait, we can get somebody

1383
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 3: else to all over. So it was like cool. So

1384
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 3: then like we're just trying to sit in the side,

1385
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 3: like once it came down to like, okay, who else

1386
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 3: we would love to play with? Once it came out,

1387
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 3: we would love to play with like CB, Like we

1388
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 3: when we sit down and thought about this, what player

1389
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 3: can match up? Who matches us? You know what I'm saying,

1390
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 3: Mari and Mari goodver Man, we all we all alphas

1391
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 3: that ain't gonna work, you know what I'm saying, Like

1392
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 3: Eagles may get in a way, who knows. So we

1393
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 3: had to sit down and think about this. And when

1394
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 3: it came out to Miami was the only team that

1395
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 3: had enough money to get all through of every other

1396
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 3: team could have did too. And but like once again,

1397
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 3: the point was like yo cee b is a perfect match.

1398
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 2: Perfect everybody Miami was. It was a brain. He was perfect.

01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 3: Well, So, you know, I was with Converts for six

1504
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 3: years and an amazing, amazing relationship I have with them.

1505
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 3: I mean they they helped take me to a level

1506
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 3: that was my only endorsing partnership for a long time.

1507
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 3: Convert y'all, y'alls with the Jordan brand, y'all looking at

1508
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 3: nothing else. But then I got a chance to be

1509
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 3: with the Jordan brand for three years. You know, came

1510
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 3: from Chicago, Like there was a big moment for me,

1511
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, to be with Jordan's. Like

1512
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 3: Jordan wanted me to be over there.

1513
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 2: You look good.

1514
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 3: It felt good, It felt good. But then I had

1515
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 3: to look at everything. I was like, I think I

1516
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 3: was turning thirty, you know what I'm saying, when my

1517
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 3: contract was up, and you know, they would have brought

1518
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 3: me back on the lesser lesser years, you know what

1519
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Money was good, but lesser years, and I

1520
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 3: just had to think about where I was trying to go,

1521
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,959
Speaker 3: Like what I'm trying to do with this brand away

1522
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 3: I'm trying to do, Like how I'm trying to do it,

1523
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So for me, it was

1524
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 3: like what Jordan has done, the blueprint that he has

1525
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 3: laid is incredible and it's amazing and I'm thankful for

1526
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 3: because I'm able to take a little bit of that

1527
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,720
