Growing up as 61 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: a kid, you know, Detroit to me was the Detroit Lions. 62 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: There was a movie called Paper Lions about a guy 63 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 1: who played for the Detroit Lions. And then of course 64 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons where I fell in love with the 65 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons when Isaiah Thomas was drafted out of Indiana 66 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: and um, you know, played for the Pistons starting in nine. 67 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: I was only eleven years old, but there was you know, 68 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: it was Isaiah Magic, Larry Bird, dr J. But I 69 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: fucking loved Isaiah Thomas. Like Isaiah Thomas was everything. He 70 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: was everything to me. He was he was so good, 71 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: so small, so unique, always had this smile on his face. 72 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, at the time, we didn't know that that 73 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: smile masked a tough fucking demeanor. I mean, we just 74 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: thought this guy was just like you know, almost like 75 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, like smiling and out and out of this 76 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: is a tough motherfucker who grew up in the fucking 77 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 1: hood of the Hood of Chicago. I gotta get Isaiah 78 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: on the pot. Guess I know Isaiah. You know I 79 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: met him and got to spend a little time when 80 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: he played for the Knicks. But I had his poster 81 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: on my wall when he was playing for those Pistons. 82 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: And although the Piston teams were duking it out with 83 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: my New York Nick teams, especially in that nineteen eighty 84 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: four I believe it was eighty four, that four playoff 85 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: and it was you know, Daryl Walker, and it was 86 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: Bernard King and it was Hub Brown and Isaiah scored 87 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: sixteen points in ninety four seconds. I always, I mean, 88 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: it was a record. It was crazy. Sixteen points in 89 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 1: ninety four seconds. Um and Bernard had the broken fingers 90 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: and the two of them were just going at it. 91 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: I mean in Isaiah, you know talking about he was 92 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: pulling from beyond the three and he was doing wild ship. 93 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: You know those games like if you watch highlights of 94 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: those games, you know they're not even you know, like 95 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: in h D they're grainy. They look like shit. But man, 96 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: those games, those series between that Detroit Piston team in 97 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: that night, four New York Knicks team with Bernard and 98 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: Isaiah going back to back, going at it full fucking tilt. 99 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: To the day, I think it was a five game 100 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: series and the Detroit they weren't even playing. They didn't 101 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: even have an arena. They played in the the Superdome. 102 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: You know, I don't fact check. I don't mean any 103 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: disrespect to any of the Michigan people. I believe it 104 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: was the Superdome. The Detroit Superdome, which was a football arena, 105 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: was where the Lions played, and it was just awesome. 106 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: It was just awesome. They had Bill Lane beer and 107 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: they had Benny Johnson from Brooklyn, Brownsville, Brooklyn, and uh, 108 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: I think Rory Sparrow might have been with the Knicks. 109 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: Ray Williams was with the Knicks, and it was just 110 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: they were just Bill Cartwright was with the Knicks, and 111 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: it was just a fun I mean, it was just 112 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: a such an exciting series.

Those games 116 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: were etched in your memories, and those guys just went 117 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: at it um and in such a competitive, full tilt away. 118 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: And then of course the Detroit Pistons, you know, with 119 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: the Bad Boys and the John Sally and the the 120 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: Rick Moarne and the um Joe Dumars, and it was 121 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: just I love those teams. I was so happy when 122 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: they got past the Larry Bird Celtics and then you know, 123 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: they went on to win their championship.

And 127 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: then I went to the Magic Johnson basketball camp and 128 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: he was there as a guest with Magic Johnson and 129 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: I played Isaiah Thomas a one on one up to three. 130 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: You know, they picked me out of the crowd of 131 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: UH kids there and I played Isaiah Thomas a one 132 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: on one up to three.

But I 146 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: fucked with Tommy Hearns. Tommy Hearns versus Roberto Duran. He 147 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: caught him with that fucking right hand. It sounded like 148 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: he fucking killed Roberto Duran. But I just loved, uh, 149 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: Tommy Hearns and the Cronk Gym and all things, uh 150 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, Detroit. But the crazy thing about Detroit is 151 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: the first time I ever went to Detroit was to 152 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: do my very very first film, which is now out 153 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: on Amazon, and a couple of other streaming places.

Adrian Brodie was not cast, but he was, 163 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, they were definitely leaning towards him. I didn't 164 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: Adrian Brodie was nobody, nor was I at the time. 165 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: But I remember I went to the audition and Adrian 166 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: Brody was there and I was like, Yo, I'm getting 167 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: this fucking part.

And it was thirty years ago, thirty 216 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: years ago almost of the week that I was out 217 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: there making that movie, and I didn't know what the 218 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: funk I was doing. You know. I met my friend 219 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: Kevin Corrigan, who's been on the podcast a couple of times, 220 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, and and he he had just come off 221 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: Good Fellas. You know, he was in Good Fellas Um, 222 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: which which came out, like you know, ship, seven or 223 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: eight months before we were shooting Zebra, and so it 224 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: was just exciting to work with this actor that had 225 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: just done Good Fellas. He plays you know, the late 226 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: great ray Leo to Henry Hill's brother in the wheelchair. 227 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: And it was just a really really exciting time and 228 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: a fun time and a memory. And you know, it's 229 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: fucked up because you know, the producers of of Zebra 230 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: they were inexperience. I was in experience, and I remember 231 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: them sort of not believing in me after a week 232 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: of shooting, and at one point, you know, I found 233 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: out later on they were talking about firing me. And 234 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: then I saw the producer the producers actually named is 235 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: Jeff Dowd. This producer named Jeff dow and really, if 236 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: you want to go into the rabbit hole of who 237 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: Jeff Down is. Jeff Down was a movie producer that 238 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: produced some of the Cohen Brothers movies. You could look 239 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: him up and he's the person that inspired the character 240 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: from The Big Lebowski called the Dude. Fact, this movie 241 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: producer named Jeff Down inspired the character from The Big 242 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: Lebowski that Jeff Bridges played called the Dude. But when 243 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: I was working with Jeff Dowt, he wasn't that cool 244 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: with me. And I was young. I'd never been in 245 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: a film before, certainly never started a film before. I 246 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: didn't know what the funk I was doing. And I 247 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: told him later on after ze Brad came out and 248 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: we won Sundance because we won a Sundance Award, I 249 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that was fucked up what you did 250 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: when you made me feel insecure.

And he was like no, no, no, 253 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: no no. But I always remember like I confronted him, 254 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, after ze bred you know, got successful, and 255 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, I started to move on to do other things, 256 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: like I let him know, like yo, that ship you 257 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: did with some sucker ass ship.

And then that's a mass 324 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: shooting and it happens and there's no discussion. And like 325 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: I said the other day, there's another school shooting in St. 326 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: Louis at a school, and were become so desensitizing, it's 327 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: so normal, and um that that these things aren't.

If you could 344 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 1: just punch in shootings today in the United States, and 345 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: you'll just be flabbergas, your mouth will be open, and 346 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: if you give yourself a time to just think about it, 347 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: how disgusting and how sad it is that these things 348 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: are happening, you know. And two policemen shot in Jersey 349 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: this week. And it's just the guns and the guns 350 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: and the shootings and the shootings all over the place. 351 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: Whether it's rappers, whether it's kids, whether it's policeman, whether 352 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: it's just all over the fucking place. It's it's just terrible. 353 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: It's horrible, and it's just so sad, and it's sad 354 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: that it happens, and it's sad that it's normalized that 355 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: a school shooting could happen. And because the carnage wasn't enough. 356 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: Most people don't even know that there was a shooting 357 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: last week in the St. Louis High School. The carnage 358 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: wasn't enough. There wasn't enough dead bodies to be deemed impressive, 359 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: to be deemed a true blue tragedy um. And it's 360 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: just very very upsetting and very discus origin that these 361 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: things continue to go on before podst So it happened. Personally, 362 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was gonna happen because it didn't 363 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: happen over the summer, but it happened. Kukie Kyrie conspiracy 364 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: theory Kyrie and Kevin Scrape. Durant got their wishes. They 365 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: got Steve Nash fired. And let me tell you something, 366 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: what a ship show in Brooklyn? What a ship showed 367 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: that they got Steve Nash fired. And it has nothing 368 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: to do with the nets playing good, not playing and 369 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: good whatever their record is, two and five, one in six, 370 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: whatever it is. Durant wanted him fired. He said during 371 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: the summer, I want Steve Nash and the GM, the 372 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: director of player Operations whatever he is, the director of 373 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: basketball operations, Sean Marks fired. And they didn't do it. 374 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: They tried to trade him. They couldn't trade him to 375 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: this that in the third, and inevitably the season started 376 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: and the Nets look like shit for whatever reason. I mean, 377 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving is on record saying we don't need a coach. 378 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: Some days I could be the coach, some days Kevin 379 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: could be the coach. We don't need a coach. He 380 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: thinks he doesn't need a coach. They both are not leaders. 381 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: They're both We don't need to sit there and say 382 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: what they are. We know they're great talents, generational talents. 383 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: I've never seen anybody handle the basketball like Kyrie Irving, 384 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: the way he finishes around the rim, the way he 385 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: attacks offensively, Sick Durant. You know, we know the deal. 386 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: We know what they are, but what they aren't is 387 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: almost just as important with these two, because what they 388 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: aren't is the leaders. What they aren't isn't intrinsic winners. 389 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: And then NBA is in a conundrum because you got 390 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets, and granted, like, if you don't know 391 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: the demographics of Brooklyn and Manhattan and what the Brooklyn 392 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: Nets mean or don't mean to New York, they're never 393 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: gonna have the fan base of the New York Knicks. 394 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: The Brooklyn Nets can win six straight championships in a row. 395 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: They're always, always, always, It'll take a hundred years, fifty 396 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: solid years at least, and even and then they'll always 397 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: be the redheaded step child to the New York Knicks. Again. 398 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: They could win championships, and they will never mean as 399 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: much to New York City, to the world, to the 400 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: NBA as the New York Knicks. You get these two 401 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: great players, three great players. Ben Simmons was a great player. 402 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ever going to be great again. 403 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: He was a potentially great but he had great things. 404 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna sit there and, oh, my grapp he's not 405 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: get I know, I know what the fun Ben Simmons is. 406 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: You get Kevin Durant, Kevin Scrape Durant and conspiracy theory, 407 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving. And this is what you start with. Two 408 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: and six. You start with getting swept last season, not 409 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: one game, not to nothing. You got fucking swept out 410 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: of the playoffs by the Boston Celtics four in a 411 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: row for a straight I was at the last game. 412 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: They gave up. They threw their fucking hands in the air. 413 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: You couldn't win one game with two of the best 414 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: players on the planet. Say what you want about both 415 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: of them. They're two of the best players on the plane. 416 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: You got swept. And then you demand to trade. You 417 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: demand to be traded. They can't trade either one of 418 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: you because you're both fucking too expensive and you're not winners. 419 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: You're great individual players. They couldn't find a deal for you, 420 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: fucking guys. Then you demand the coach to be fired, 421 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: You demand the GM to be fired. You come out 422 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: too and six and poor Steve Nash and Steve Nash 423 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: ain't no flunky.

They 439 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: don't even understand. They don't embrace what it means to 440 00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: the community, to the black community, the gentrifiable parts of Brooklyn, 441 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: to have basketball in Brooklyn.
