Speaker 4: you got like for you to be was you always

115
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 4: like one of the taller kids or like when.

116
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: I mean I was always one of the taller kids.

117
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: But handling the ball and all that that was just

118
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: like a gift from God. And then you know where

119
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: we come from in New York.

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: That's what you do.

121
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, your handle is everything. That's the only way you're

122
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: going to be able to say.

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 4: At what point did you start to see like though, like, yo,

124
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: even though I'm one of the taller kids, like I'm

125
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: different because I'm nice with the handle like this, Like

126
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 4: when did that start becoming?

127
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: Like probably when I was like ten, you know what

128
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: I mean? And I remember I was playing seventeen and

129
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: under tournament and I was I was like five ten

130
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: when I was ten, you know what I'm saying. Still, yeah,

131
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: And I remember I'm telling the coach like, y'all, I'm

132
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: playing the point guard. You know, I don't give like

133
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: I don't give what plays you running whatever we're doing,

134
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: even though you were the biggest kid, one of the

135
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: biggest kids. Well, I'm like, I'm playing the point guard.

136
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: And I always hack confidence in my handle, you know

137
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like I know I could just shift

138
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: you and to go straightna make you go side to

139
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: side for me to go straight.

140
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: And I always grew up playing like that.

141
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: When you finally thought you was a McDonald all American,

142
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,680

Speaker 1: I mean, that was it was. That was good.

144
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: But Jesus, the questions that y'all asked me is easy

145
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: for me to answer because, like you know, I'm a

Speaker 1: to get in.

459
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,359

463
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: Going with it because it was like just y'all just

464
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: standing out by yourself when you didn't.

465
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: Have music playing. They didn't have they had music plan,

466
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: but they didn't have that music playing like the and

467
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: all that stuff.

468
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: They didn't have that plan, but they had music playing

469
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: because we were dancing there.

470
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,040

474
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:46,280

Speaker 2: I appreciate them because they still send me that to

480
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 2: this I see that all the time.

481
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Send me a check.

482
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,240

484
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

485
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 4: We played and stuff like that, did you see yourself

486
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 4: like as the leader of our team when we was

487
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 4: playing at that time.

488
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 3: It's crazy that you said that, though, because I wish

489
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 3: I would have did things a lot different, but I

490
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: was I didn't know, you know what I'm saying. I

491
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: didn't really understood the power that I had. But you know,

492
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 3: looking back now, I feel like, you know what I'm saying,

493
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: because now I would have been like, Yo, let's go

494
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: to the gym.

495
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: If we ain't doing nothing, let's go back to the gym.

496
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: Let's go over these plays again. You know what I'm saying.

497
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: It would have been nothing to do that because I

498
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: would go really should have been the playoffs.

499
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: You know, but I didn't learn I didn't have nobody

500
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: to learn from. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like

501
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: the people that was that I learned.

502
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: From, well, Maurice Taylor, who was a hell of a player, yeah,

503
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 3: Derek Anderson who was a hell of a player.

504
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they didn't know the game either though. They

505
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: wanted to get the fuck out of there, yeah, everybody,

506
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: because they wanted to get money, so.

507
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: They wasn't really practicing what we know to be good

508
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 3: NBA habits. I didn't really have nothing to pass down

509
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: to y'all. You know, you feel like I feel like

510
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: when you went to Miami like that, That's when I learned,

511
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: Like that was when it like it clicked. If I

512
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 3: would have if y'all would have had older Miami older,

513
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: we would have made it to the playoffs every year.

514
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: But we was like the second year we was two games,

515
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: right the.

516
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: Playoffs, feel me because the Miami older would have new

517
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 3: to put the wig down. Yeah, I would have been

518
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: on the court a lot more. You feel I'm saying.

519
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: You feel what I'm saying. Tell how Miami will Yeah,

520
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 3: tell me how that culture shock was it for you?

521
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: Coming from you know, we were in fucking Southwest LA

522
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,679

00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: And Pat I looked up to him. He was the

Speaker 1: Yeah we was gonna have.

627
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: But Kobe, I mean, you know, teammate easy to learn from. Yeah,

628
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, if you ain't learned

629
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 3: from him. Then you were stupid, you know what I mean,

630
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 3: You wasn't really about that life and crazy, incredible spirit.

631
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: I heard him say on the bus that he was

632
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: better than Mike. I'm like, you Alan, you know what

633
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: I mean. But that came out his mouth, so you

634
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: you know, with his drive, like you know, like you

635
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: just you know what I mean, different type of dude

636
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: made you better. Yeah, just to be around him. And

637
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: it was so crazy because coming here just made me

638
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: think of our relationship. I was like, damn, how far

639
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: I wish I played one on one with him more

640
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: after practice, you know what I'm saying, helped each other out.

641
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish I was able to just you know,

642
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: we didn't know he was police. Yeah, how was it

643
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: for you to comprehend that I'm gonna come off the bench.

644
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: And that's how this can work because you low like

645
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: you know what It's like.

646
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: It's so funny, like because he would be like, yo,

647
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 3: you had a Hall of Fame career. I be like,

648
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: probably mm hmm. But I know like a lot of

649
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: that part of that is statistical. Yeah, you know what

650
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

651
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: So you have to sacrifice a lot to come off

652
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: the I mean I did it. I did it for that,

653
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: for these things. Yeah m hm. You know what I'm saying,

654

Speaker 1: because you know.

655
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 4: How big a part of that was Feeled being the

656
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 4: one he came with that bullshit and he was like,

657
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 4: would you have been able to take that if it

658
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 4: wasn't for somebody like it's established this field.

659
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,320

Speaker 3: So you're right with that game. I mean what the

661
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: COBE said about it, he GMI too, God bless him.

746
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,840

00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 3: People remind me of them back to back chips like

807
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 3: it just happened right still daily. But you know, there's

808
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: a lot of pride in the city, and you know,

809
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 3: we're playing in the Homer Entertainers and people really appreciate

810
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 3: when you entertain them and did a great job, especially

811
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 3: with their names across your Yeah, and when you're representing them,

812
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 3: you feel, I'm saying they got different pride.

813
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 1: So the city come out crazy.

814
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 3: And you know, I played for the Clippers and the Lakers,

815
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 3: and so for me, it's like a little double double love.

816
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

817
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: How was it to play out playing basically a sold

818
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 2: out arena? Everywhere you played for about how many years

819
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: you with the Lakers, like you're eight years straight, like

820
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: everywhere the Lakers win and play every arena no matter

821
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: what it was.

822
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:01,959
Speaker 1: That was a sold out game.

823
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 3: But that's why I like when it comes to basketball,

824
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 3: let's keep it up Dallas. They like known as because

825
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 3: football America's team, Like I mean, basketball wise, I think

826
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 3: Lakers is like Americans because you gotta think about it.

827
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: Eighties, who was you gonna catch on TV? You feel me?

828
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 5: M hmm?

829
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: Then Kobe TV even when the games, you should just

830
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 3: come on Channel four always catch the Laker game on.

831
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, because everybody don't get that.

832
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: You know, No, it's a it's a. It's a.

833
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 3: Then you're playing with a superstar, it's a it's probably

834
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 3: one up. Really, if if every game could feel like

835
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 3: a home game, yeah, you know what I'm saying.

836
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: You know, place.

837
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 4: You just said something that is really because every player

838
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 4: don't get the opportunity to play with a superstar, played

839
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 4: with like an uber star, Like but you know what

840
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 4: I'm saying, like just because you know.

841
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 3: Y'all know it's Star Park, really really good players and

842
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 3: then you know that's what I'm saying, superstars exactly.

843
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 4: If anybody don't get a chin like I felt like

844
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 4: when I got with Steve Nash, I was like, oh shit,

845
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 4: not even just how he who we are to play

846
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 4: I'm talking about just from how everybody from him coming

847
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 4: and it was like that was my first time being

848
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 4: like damn like everything. It's crazy when my band saying

849
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 4: like he was probably my most humble teammate ever. He

850
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 4: didn't give a damn. But it was just like I

851
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 4: just called Stevie the President. I used to be like, Yo,

852
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 4: every time you come, it's about like everything to people.

853
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: Just follow him, huh, Like what about he crazy? You know?

854
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, so like yeah, it's different, like everybody don't get

855
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 4: a chance to play, like playing with Kobe that's a

856
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 4: whole nother planet of it in itself, you know what

857
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like that's bigger than any regular superstar period.

858
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 3: But like.

859
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: That's crazy. How was it being a Laker? Like he

860
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: won the most famous Lakers out there? Like how is

861
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: it being a part of that brand? And with Magic

862
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 2: and Kobe in shacking word d lamar.

863
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 3: You know, it's not a detrimental way, but it's you know,

864
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 3: it's Hollywood work, and it's so crazy because I got.

865
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: The experience it first with y'all, but like looking across

866
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: the hall, yeah, like I wanted how one of that?

867
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 2: You know?

868
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

869
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 3: That they want champion three backs and then and then

870
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 3: they you know, to afford to come full circle, you know,

871
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think it was probably one of

872
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 3: the reasons why I was able to adapt so fast.

873
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 3: And so I've been in LA since I was nineteen, right,

874
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 3: so it's really all I know. I might month for

875
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 3: governor one day.

876
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 4: How was it in an eleven when you got the

877
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 4: sixth man of the year that that like kind of

878
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 4: make you feel like, okay, like outside of the championships,

879
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 4: like there is some type of individual you know, situation

880
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 4: in this where you get some type.

889
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,719
