Like I do I 174 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: stop this guy? But this is when he's running pick over. 175 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: Marce started of mind and he always keep his dribble 176 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 3: under the basket. Like he was very difficult, you know. 177 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: I mean this was my rookie year, was d Roe's 178 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: MVP year. Yeah, you know what I mean. I always 179 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: tell him like he's the hardest guy that had the 180 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: guard at that time. You know me in my career 181 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: for sure? 182 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: Did you think about that, like you had mentioned we 183 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: were talking about it before that you decided to play 184 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: for coach cal because you saw what he did with 185 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: de Rose at Memphis, So what was like sort of 186 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: your mindset before that first matchup and then did you 187 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: have to like learn how to guard him over those years? 188 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got tippy. 189 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: Like when I was watching d Rose play he was 190 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: I think it was playing Oklahoma in the guard I'm 191 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 3: not mistaken. 192 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: And just the way Kyle let him who he was free. 193 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 3: I was fast, athletic like him, and I was like, Damn, 194 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: that's the school I'm going to. Like, I already had 195 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: it in my mind, you know, I mean, but at 196 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 3: the same time, I have to meet coach Kyle. I 197 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: have to go visit the school, see how it is, 198 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: to make sure that is the right decision. 199 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: I mean. 200 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: But from where I looked, from the point of view 201 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: of minds of watching from the TV, it's perfect. And yeah, 202 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 3: I think over the years I figured out ways to 203 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: guard him a little better. But also I think the 204 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 3: injuries kind of changed his game a little bit. 205 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: For them. It was like, damn, what do you do? 206 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 3: Like the same thing you kind of would do with me, 207 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 3: is like, hopefully he's not making jump shots that night, 208 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But even when he was, 209 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: and he still was religious of getting to the basket. 210 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: Uh. 211 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: He had a master master float off two feet, so 212 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 3: he was just a difficult gard to deal with. And 213 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 3: then the team he had was so perfect. I mean, 214 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: those guys defended at a high level and they knew 215 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 3: their offense flew when he flew, so he was getting 216 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 3: shots up, he was making the right place, He's making movement. 217 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 3: So a lot of people didn't want to see d 218 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 3: Rose at that time. A lot of people was missing 219 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 3: games and acting like they were sick and when he 220 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: came in town, but he was special. 221 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: Well is that real?
