I'm enjoying the fruits of my labor. 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.960 That's dope, man, that's when you're watching. Man, what are 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:28.800 you I don't want to sit up there and call 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.040 it man, but are you sitting here seeing yourself and 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:31.840 playing all that? 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:36.080 Man? Look right now, I'm the third best center in the. 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.600 League right now, right now, right now, right. 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.159 Now, I'm the third best center the league. But I mean, 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.319 I'm a fan of the game. I'm always watching. I'm 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.199 always enjoy you know, these guys talents and things of 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.400 that nature. But I don't know the game just in 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.120 a different place from my from my perspective, it's in 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.720 a way different place than you know. I came in 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.840 with you guys, you know, being the top tier guys 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.280 in the league, and of that and they so the energy. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:02.840 Was way different. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.520 And then you know, it was a certain point where 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.759 I was that guy and the energy was way different 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:07.120 than now. 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.720 It's just different. It's the best way of putting it. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.600 So to the point where you don't recognize it no more. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:14.920 Turned you off a little bit. 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.040 I don't recognize it's it's the game is just so different. 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.759 The you know, the foundation of it is completely gone. 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.440 The competitive nature is completely gone, just you know, wanting 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.000 to outdo the next guy in front of you. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.240 I think that whole dynamic is gone. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.600 So it ain't no competitive juices no more. You don't 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.000 think gods guys. 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.000 And it's nothing wrong with being friendly. At the end 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.319 of the day. This's the brotherhood. This is this is 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:40.560 a fraternity. 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.800 So we're boring against each other. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.680 We came in as competitors, warriors, like you know what 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:52.520 I'm saying, So that whole concept is gone, Like I 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.600 don't want to upset the next guy, or if you 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.280 say the wrong thing is held against you for the 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:58.160 next teen years. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.440 It's just it's just weird. It so I don't know 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.280 the game. It's just in a different place. Man. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.800 I got to ask you this. I never had a 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.800 chance to ask you this man, Rondo is my little brother. 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.560 That's my big brother, no doubt, we're very close. Uh 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.840 not too much, but he will always give script to 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:21.320 you and how great you were. And I used to 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.519 always ask him, man, I never heard about none of 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.079 your influences growing up. Who influenced you when you when 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.760 you was watching who were you trying to be like? 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.600 Or who were some of the pieces that you was 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:31.160 taking from. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.680 So the way I was coming up like, it was 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.400 never one guy I wanted to specifically be by, be like, 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.720 I was fans of a certain guy, and I took 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.119 something from each guy. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.800 Fucked with you obviously, that's no doubt. 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.079 Mello being his size, being able to move the way 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.800 he does, the different gifts with and that's that was 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:51.560 my influence. 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.600 On the offensive side of the ball, mellow. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.720 Power, Gasol being able to do the different things with 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.880 the ball pass and being able to shoot. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.760 It's, you know, very very solid player. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.800 Pound or marred with his explosiveness, just attacking the remnant 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.520 way he did, and then it was shocked with his dominance. 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:10.079 Right. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.840 But the guy that I felt like was a combination 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.240 of all that was Charles Barkley who is really who? 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.200 I feel like I played like you know what I'm saying. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.320 I was a bigger version of him, but we played similar. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.560 But uh yeah, he wasn't a fan of me while 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:27.520 I was a fan of him. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.360 Oh no, no, no, you know what it is, book. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.720 I think a lot of people from the outside watched 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:38.120 you play and forget about themselves. Anybody that's passionate, anybody 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.160 that's played to dominate the game. Everybody. First off, everybody 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.640 don't play the game dominated understand, so they ain't gonna 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.840 understand when you dominating it, you know what I'm saying. Bro, 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.600 you you fifty five, and Dug you fifty five, twenty 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:55.160 and seven, you're fifty nine sixteen, Like yo, yo, you 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.760 was real shit. This is how DO and I would 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.280 get into these conversations because I saw you like a 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.560 hybrid of like five to six people. I saw how 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.040 you could be brute like shock but then have twinkle toes, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.640 you know what I'm saying. And then Bro, you too, 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.560 fifty you two fifty five? You you doing all this 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.520 with power? Like That's why I asked you man, Like 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:21.680 some of those things or hybrids or or mirrors of 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.880 other people. But Bro you was one of your own 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.880 bro where you creatively just in your own head with 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.719 some of that bro. A lot of times I would 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.720 watch Kevin Mchal split a trap with a step over 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.800 and he was split, Bro. I saw you split a 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.440 trap with a spin like some of it, Like are 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.599 you are you conscious of what some of the stuff 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:40.039 are you doing? 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:40.720 I am. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.400 And it's also playing to my strengths and also knowing 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.280 my weaknesses like I was never in a I've never 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.000 been a hot jumper ever at any point in my tree, right, 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.240 So I had to be aware of that. And it 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.599 got to a point as the different levels I went to. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.240 You know, guys, I'm playing against motherfuckers like you right, 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.960 seven feet strong as shit, forty inch vertical, Like, it's 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.280 a different type of game. So I gotta figure out 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.520 how can I still be myself and be productive against 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.520 basically something that I can't even really shoot over. So 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.080 I learned how to use my body from z Bo 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.840 as I after I got in the league. I'm like, 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.200 I'm picking up on shit with it because Zebo fucked 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.360 me up. I'm learning how to play defense the way 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.600 Tim Duncan would because you know Tim, Timmy put that 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.200 hand on your shoulder and. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.280 He blocked you up top, but you it stops you 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.479 from getting that lift. So I'm picking up on you know, 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:35.160 different ship. 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:39.640 So I was a sponge and obviously I never had 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.960 like a real until though. 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.159 But I didn't know. 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.640 God, that's part of my store me coming in. I 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.719 didn't have an NBA guy, a call or a big bro. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:49.440 I ain't had that. 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.400 I'm from country ass and it should have been Barkley. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.039 I was hoping it would have been. But you know, 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.080 those things than the line. So I learned this shit 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.560 on my fucking own through trial and trip. I ain't 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:05.080 have a real VET in Sacramento outside of Francisco Garcia, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.680 but he can only teach me so much. Early on. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.120 He couldn't teach me how to be a superstar because 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.400 he was never a superstars damn. So I had to 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.040 learn a lot of shit on my own. So I 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.440 just pick up every time I play a certain player 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.440 learning from your ad. I'm gonna tell you one thing 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:21.480 I learn from Big Perk. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.720 Oh yeah, shout out the Big Perk. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:24.560 Shout out Big Perk. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.520 I'll come in the game before the game even start. 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.159 You know, we line up for jump Perk giving me 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:34.080 the bump off jump. So I'm already on some ship 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.040 like men, what the fuck you on? You know, Perk 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.559 ain't paying me no mind. He already in my head. 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.400 So I'm picking up on that like ship. All right, 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.800 whoever I play, I'm bumping your ass soon as we 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.479 get out there, to the point you. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.320 Let man what you want.

Seeing that you shit to 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.639 love Fax Facts and seeing that you're better than somebody, 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.760 and then I'm like and then when it just I'm 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:41.200 not even I'm speaking just from a mental stand Fax Fact. 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.359 When it came to the hoop shit, it's just like 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:44.600 all that shit cut off. 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.560 I shut all that shit off, and all I know 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.640 is I'm better than every nigga on this quarter. 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.679 It didn't matter who it was. And even if it 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.960 was somebody considered it better. I'm gonna be better venture 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:59.280 because I'm gonna figure you OUTA that's how you look too, man. 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.280 When I start studying, you start studying. It was hard 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:03.960 to get a beam on like something that you did 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.000 consistently because you didn't normally go one way. And yeah, 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:08.960 you know another thing that you did great now that 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:13.080 you say zbo because I'm I'm putting it together and 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.200 your pump fakes. Man, you was one of the people 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.159 and I'm teaching everybody here right now that when you 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:20.879 rip through and you do a move, you have to 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.840 rip through and go because the defender coming you was 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:27.959 probably the best at rippings and then putting a pump fake. 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.800 I ain't gonna say stopping because you can't stop it 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.920 all of it. But you you gave an a move 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.960 and then your b was to was to put something 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.240 on the end because you knew my momentum coming. 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.160 And here's your momentum against you. 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:42.480 How you how you? How you how you get into 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.399 something like that? You watching films just by again, you 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.720 soaking it up on job training type ship. 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:49.439 Like I said, when they came to me, who I 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:50.400 never wanted to be. 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:54.560 Just one dimensional? One dimensional? But they used to teach it. Then, Man, 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:56.280 you don't hear this shit no more at all. But 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:57.639 when I came in, they used to teach you how 0:21:57.680 --> 0:21:58.520 to have a go to move. 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.800 And what was every big go to move? Fucking bullshit? 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.280 What happens when they stop it? You pass that bitch out? 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:10.800 So it's like, I don't even want that type of 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:11.919 situation to happen for me. 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.960 So I'm like, and you facing and you turn around 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.800 you I'm facing up right. That's different to. 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:19.840 It depends on who's guard me, all. 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:21.840 Right, because you're a dog too. 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.280 I got I got a big perk. I'm gonna get 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:26.920 past because I can't. I can't out body. I'm gonna 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.400 get past it, right, but I might have to make 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:31.240 two extra moves to get past them. 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:33.680 And it's all. And when I mean get past, it's 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:34.840 not my entire body. 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.680 It's my shoulder, because that's what you're all I gotta 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:39.919 get past you is my shoulders on a drive, on 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:42.240 a lay up whatever. I just gotta get my shoulders passed. 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.359 So that's always the angle I'm looking for. Can I 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.440 get my shoulders passed? So if I'm got perk, I'm 0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:52.240 out quickly. I got a smaller guy, let's say, I 0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:56.919 don't know, get me a big, a smaller big from bosh, 0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.119 I'm gonna use my body right. 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.760 I can't out quickly. I can't do quick in no doubt. 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:06.760 But hey, maybe he's super stronger that this motherfucker lifted today. 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:10.400 He taking them bumps well today. So I'm out quick. 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.640 You then bumpy right, and let's see how you handle that. 0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:17.480 And you're constructing all these moves off of watching film 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.600 and then playing these people. Ain't nobody giving you. 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:21.280 No bad man. 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:25.440 You ain't even all feel damn. It's just feel damn. 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:28.280 So you're giving a real download like that where you're 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:31.320 just giving everybody you're playing. It's like a new script there. 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.680 So wow, and I got guy. You know you kind 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:39.000 of talking this motherfucker like I got Minte Moores play 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:42.920 with the Wizards and his favorite point guard really can't 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:44.680 guard me at all. But you know you'd be like, man, 0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:46.560 I know all your moves. I can guard you. How 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:52.160 you know my moves and I don't know. I don't 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.119 know my moves. It's all field for us. About to 0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:58.399 say you reacting. Everything is a reaction. You cut that 0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:00.520 off from the spin and put the shoulder on you. 0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.280 Now you're behind me. I might throw the pump fake 0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:05.440 in too, just to get you off your feet. Then 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.200 I'm stepping through getting bumped and when and I got 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:10.560 the angle to the layup that you can't block. 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:14.320 And you abang that motherfucker. You fucking around, don't around. Yeah, 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:16.960 I've seen you watch a couple of motherfuckers. Let me 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.280 get my feet under me. You're gonna be.

Yeah? 0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:56.880 How? 0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:00.280 Let me ask you this, I asked Peter, is going 0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.960 to be a time where we see four year players 0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:06.000 come back to college to do two years, three year 0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.560 and coach in college just resign those players. 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.880 It depends. It depends on the talent level. 0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:17.560 Really, I mean, because you there's always going to be 0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:20.080 some kid. I don't think every kid is gonna take 0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:23.600 the G League grow. I don't think everybody's preparing for that. 0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:26.560 Some guys need that. I was a guy that needed 0:30:27.400 --> 0:30:29.120 I don't think I could have came straight up. I 0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.840 was too naive, too ignorant to everything going on. 0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:32.040 Shit. 0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:34.600 I was that when I came in, so I was 0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:36.400 even more coming out. I was straight out of the 0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:41.640 jungle guy. So it depends on certain situation. Also depends 0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.960 on the talent of the player, and we can use 0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:47.560 examples guys like a Tyler Hansbrough. 0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:50.000 Who was you know, a college legend. 0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:52.800 I think that type of guy would benefit from that 0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:55.320 greatly because once he gets to the other side, like 0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:58.320 the NBA, it's not the same thing, you know what 0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:00.280 I'm saying. So I think a guy like that Ben's 0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.680 But then you have a John Wall, why the funk 0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:05.440 would you stay for you? 0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:06.360 You gotta go to the league. 0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:09.440 So I think it's a great option, and I'm happy 0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:12.160 about it because one even the guys that aren't as 0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:14.000 talented that can go to that next level, they can 0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.000 they still do that same grind and sacrifice. Right the 0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:20.160 motherfucker feet was hurting just like the next guy. 0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:24.040 Facts. But does it help? But does it save college? 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:25.800 It saves college college? 0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.760 Man, that ship. 0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:29.840 I'm just watching college. 0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:30.440 At this point. 0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:34.840 College is they they're giving their reparations. Man, at this point, 0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:38.280 they've robbed us enough. Let's just keep it a buck. 0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:39.880 These ain't number of reparations, bro. 0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:40.560 It's bad. 0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:43.600 Man. That shits sick when you really talk about it, 0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:44.520 when you really. 0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:46.680 Sit there and indeed, deep into the ship that they 0:31:46.680 --> 0:31:49.160 had going on in college and how they treated these 0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:52.520 athletes that' Sh'S si. This ain't number of reparations, man, 0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:56.080 thinking the funk about that college. I watched how many 0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.960 people and I always that can tell and and this 0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:01.400 is not to contuck, because this is just the time 0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:05.480 we was in. Man, I'm going we having tournaments and 0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:11.880 fucking cancn Mexico and there's three thousand people with the 0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:13.360 cousins in Kentucky shirt. 0:32:15.080 --> 0:32:19.040 But the vendor outside he just made sixty bands with 0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:23.080 my name.

I'm a fan 0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:08.160 of Cat. 0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:11.440 I mean, I think those three are the best offensive 0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.440 bigs in the league. But the guys that I think 0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:16.680 are right on the cusp and like, I would love 0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:20.120 opportunity to work with kind of under the radar. 0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:24.320 Wyndale Carter, Oh yeah, yeah. 0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:27.200 He had a lot of good bones. Man. He wants 0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:29.200 to be a little bit too perimeterve for me. Though 0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.560 he got it. Though he shoot the three, he got it. 0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:34.200 He's strong as hell on. 0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:37.520 He reminds me of Bro. He got it, He got that, 0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:38.200 he got it. 0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:41.680 Bro. The fact that he can play outside and come down, 0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:44.080 get you the jump, come back and count. 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:46.240 Give me one deal. 0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:48.720 I'll turn out into shout the Windale. 0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:49.560 Man. 0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:52.520 He listen a lot of times when I'm watching him. Man, 0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:55.160 he'll finish when I thought he should have. He should have. 0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:58.680 Just sometimes you gotta figure it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:01.640 go figure young to your baby? How old is it? 0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:04.360 What thell like just for three years? Four years? 0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.240 Four or five?

So I would love a chance. I think, 0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:14.799 I like, I think he got a lot of game. 0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:22.200 Who else is out there? I like Scottie Barnes, Yeah, 0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.680 I like scott I like Scotty Barns. I think I 0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:26.640 could add a dynamic to this game. I mean he's 0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:29.719 a more periminive oriented guy that he's such a big forward. Yes, 0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:33.840 he developed anything nitty to around the monster. 0:34:34.040 --> 0:34:36.759 He can play point forward right now. He I didn't 0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:38.960 know his I didn't know his handle was like that. 0:34:39.160 --> 0:34:39.600 Got a lot. 0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:41.560 I didn't know his handle was like that. I love 0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:44.560 Scotty though. Scotty Man is one of my favorite six 0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:49.760 years six years for Windal sam Mitchell shout to Sam Mitchell, 0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:52.480 man he was he was, uh, he was telling about Windale. 0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:54.960 I guess he was doing some mentorship with Windale. 0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:55.719 Man. 0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:58.600 I got to ask you this man, Man, I think 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:00.959 we was outside hollered about Man. I gotta I gotta 0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:01.560 ask you this. 0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:03.520 Man. 0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:08.440 It looks like, well, I'm gonna make this a two 0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:10.560 parter because I got to ask you where a game going? 0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:13.880 The game super European. That's a whole nother story right right. 0:35:14.520 --> 0:35:17.439 But when I'm watching, when I'm watching the league, man 0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:21.880 man joke about to win his third He's about to 0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:25.680 win his third straight MVP. And when I look at 0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:29.560 the abundance of talent in the league, I can't sit 0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:31.680 up here and say like, oh my, I got like 0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:33.839 I can't sit up here. I'm got joking right here 0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:39.560 and everybody right here like three straighter road. Bro, Man, 0:35:39.600 --> 0:35:41.040 you gotta give me something morning man. 0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:47.239 I mean this is no not to Yogis because he's 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:49.600 an incredible and he's a Hall of Fame time. 0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:51.120 I was going hell of a player. I was going 0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:52.920 hell of a player. I was gonna ask you, I've 0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:55.960 witnessed it personally. Is it the system? Though? Boogie? Could 0:35:56.000 --> 0:35:56.759 you picked him up? 0:35:57.120 --> 0:36:00.600 He created the system. I don't think this was a 0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:03.880 system put around. I think he created that system because 0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:04.880 he's that talmented. 0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:09.760 So the offense step, I think he just using yokas 0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:12.879 that stuff. You know, A long time ago seventy six, 0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:17.520 the Portland Trailblazers used Bill Walton like this where he 0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:20.720 was he was just doing all this with Johnny Davis 0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:23.200 and all the guards they had. Do you see is 0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.320 it something like that where he just they just playing 0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:27.160 through him and he just making everybody better. 0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:30.880 He blowing Billy out the water, bro, He blowing Billy 0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:31.279 out the water. 0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:34.120 I'm just saying in the times where in that time 0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:37.560 in seventy seventy six, seventy seven, the Trail Blazers was 0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:38.600 using Bill that way. 0:36:39.239 --> 0:36:41.200 That was more, It was more and so half court. 0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:43.960 This is a full court game. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 0:36:43.960 --> 0:36:46.640 He's blowing Bill after they still bring it all down, 0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:49.400 throwing it to Bill. Bill, then he's making it. He 0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.640 going through it, He going through him, same shit, he's 0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:52.399 bringing it up. 0:36:52.680 --> 0:36:55.719 Yeah, he initiating it. Yeah, Bill wasn't initiated this. He was. 0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.560 Jamal Murray's taking the ball out, giving it to him. 0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:02.719 Facts, Damn, that's a play coming down. 0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:04.560 He's created the system. 0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:09.360 But I'm not okay with it being three m vps 0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:12.880 in the row because it then becomes a conversation of 0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:16.719 is this the best basketball player to ever touch a basketball? 0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:20.040 And I think we can all agree on that and 0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:24.680 say it's not. I'm not saying he can't be, not 0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:28.920 saying he doesn't deserve more down the road, but at 0:37:28.920 --> 0:37:31.160 this stage in his career, I'm not okay with saying 0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:35.800 that he hasn't won anything. He hasn't been to a final, 0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:38.360 Like it's a lot of things still in play for that. 0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:41.360 So that's my only concern. 0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:45.000 And now this is we're in the conversation he's at 0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:46.400 this point he's the best center of all. 0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:48.439 Times with three in a row. 0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:49.319 Yeah, three in a row. 0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:54.399 Hed we're putting them over the likes of Shaquille O'Neil King, 0:37:54.480 --> 0:38:00.359 Elijah Tim Duncan. And it's just like Will Chamberlain, It's like, 0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:04.239 that's a that's a tough conversation to have because we've 0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:07.279 seen what these guys have done, We've seen how their 0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:09.799 careers have panned out. So can we sit here and say, 0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:13.799 right now today the Yokish not only the best big 0:38:13.840 --> 0:38:16.160 to ever play, but the best basketball player to ever 0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:19.000 touch the ball with three MVPs in the row. And 0:38:19.040 --> 0:38:23.439 I'm not comfortable saying that. I'm just not comfortable saying that. 0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:26.080 And he go and it looks like and you know, 0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:29.480 he hasn't won it, but but he's averaging a triple doubles. 0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:31.400 I don't I don't see him not winning us. 0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:34.319 But I also don't understand that analogy either, because when 0:38:34.400 --> 0:38:36.600 Russ was, you know, he made it cool to do 0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:40.120 that again after Oscar and he did it two seasons 0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:43.440 back then, but on the second season, it's like, oh, whatever. 0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:45.600 Right, we did, so why are we now glorifying? And 0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:47.160 now you know we didn't. 0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:48.759 We didn't give it shine as Scheck, And when. 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:50.560 We didn't, we was off. We was on to the 0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:54.240 next guy. So why are we giving him this shine 0:38:54.560 --> 0:38:55.920 to a guy that's not all? 0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:56.640 And I got it. 0:38:56.719 --> 0:38:58.640 Last year he had an unhealthy team. He carried a 0:38:58.680 --> 0:38:59.600 team to the playoffs. 0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:02.879 Cool, he has a fully healthy team. 0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:07.000 He's averaging the triple double. At this point, it's a 0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:08.000 norm because it's the. 0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:10.879 Same thing that Russ did. So why is it now 0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:16.840 being like this is so amazing? Let's let's move my 0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:21.359 personal opinion. I'm going with Joel this year, Joel got 0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:25.960 a chance. I think with this new young generation of players. 0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:29.280 Outside of bron Kadie and all those guys, this new generation, 0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:32.239 those three guys are the most dominant. Two of them 0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:36.319 already gotten their flowers. Let this young guy get his flowers, man, 0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:40.000 because he deserves it. How much how much longer does 0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:41.640 he have to put in his work to get his flowers? 0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:42.800 He's leading the league in scoring. 0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:43.680 It's gonna be hard. 0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:44.880 It's not hard. 0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:48.520 The league always looks at the teams that are winning. 0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:51.919 That's not true. I'm telling you just smoke on two guys. 0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:53.640 Wasn't winning last year? 0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:56.040 He wasn't. Russ wasn't winning that year. 0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:57.919 What they go to They go to the efficiency ship, 0:39:57.960 --> 0:39:58.920 What's I don't know what. 0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:01.560 That's why it changed. It's like, who do we love 0:40:01.600 --> 0:40:03.640 this year?

I don't know what the requirements are. 0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:59.840 Can you be in today's game and be a big 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:04.960 and not have two things a three ball in a 0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:08.960 year row. You gotta have those things to be a 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:10.080 starting center. 0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:11.319 Nah, you ain't gotta. 0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:14.120 You don't have to be You're gonna be a superstar center. 0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:16.680 To be a superstar center, you have to have those. 0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:19.000 To be a max center, you have to have those. 0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:21.759 To be a star center, you don't.

Are you shocked at 0:41:34.000 --> 0:41:36.320 what you're seeing from a guy like brook Lopez? 0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:40.279 He don't know, he don't know.
