125
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: start hooping.

126
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 3: Man, I got a late start, so I didn't start

127
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: playing until like I was in the eighth grade. Man,

128
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: this dude that lived up the street from his named

129
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: Tony O'Neill. Man, he's a little guard in my neighborhood. Man,

130
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: he could really hoop. So when I moved to this

131
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: new neighborhood, I used to walk to the park every

132
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: day and just go up there and shoot by myself.

133
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: This when I was just learning. And man, he saw

134
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: me one day and he was like, Man, you ain't

135
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: got to go to the park. You can come come

136
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 3: to the house and hoop. So Man, I started going

137
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: to his crib, and man, we would hoop every day.

138
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: Saturday morning we had a little hoop tournament. Like the

139
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: whole neighborhood, other neighborhood come over, and I think that's

140
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: why I started to develop the love for the game.

141
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 4: Was you always tall?

142
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was, man, I always taller than all my teachers.

143
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: I think from fifth grade. I think I was like

144
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 3: fifth grade, I probably was like five eleven. And yeah,

145
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: I think once I got to middle school, like I

146
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: kind of shut up. I was like six three, six

147
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: four in the eighth grade, six five in the ninth grade,

148
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: and then after that, I think I grew three inches

149
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: from my freshman year to my sophomore year, so I

150
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: was like six eight. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1: organized or you just weren't doing nothing and then just

154
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: started playing organized.

155
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: Man, I wasn't like I wasn't hooping nothing like. Man,

156
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: I really didn't think I was going to be a

157
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: basketball player. I wanted to be a professional wrestler when

158
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: I was young, So.

159
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: I know that's right.

160
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: You used to watch the rattles and stuff that wrestler too,

161
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: rastling with the ship back in the day.

162
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 4: They don't know.

163
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: My muscles didn't grow right, So I was like, man,

164
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: thing up Yeah, that's hilarious.

165
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: So since you started late your freshman year, did you

166
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: play varsity?

167
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: So I played about five games my freshman year. Five

168
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: bars of the games my freshman year, like, so I

169
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: played freshman like I didn't play JB. And out of

170
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: those five games, I may have gotten in about three games,

171
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: but like I wasn't making no noise my freshman year.

172
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you build it your way up for your

173
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: senior year to be the way it was.

174
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: I put a lot of work in and I think

175
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: most of it was around here, like we didn't have

176
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: a lot of people to know like how they have

177
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: now where it's a lot of people teaching you skills,

178
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: and I think, like, man, we just like what we

179
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: had here was like we groomed and bred a lot

180
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: of athletes, and those were the type of workouts like

181
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: we did football, basketball, track workouts. So I think that's

182
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: what that kind of helped me a lot to get

183
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: to where I was.

184
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 4: I didn't do the training and all that stuff.

185
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I just hooped a lot, Like that's what got my

186
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: skills up to park to just move like everywhere it

187
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: was who we was there across town, in the town,

188
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: in the city.

189
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 4: This gym.

190
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: That gym we played in the Church League everything, So

191
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: we all from the same era.

192
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: Bro.

193
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: It wasn't like we had a couple we like a

194
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: generation or two before the whole evolutiony Like, yeah, the

195
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: training started when we was in the league, when we

196
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: started doing the real training and getting with trainers and

197
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: ten grovers and stuff like that. So I definitely feel

198
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 2: you on that. We definitely just hooped it that win.

199
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: When did you get your first dump?

200
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,840

209
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,880

Speaker 3: was I was playing in the summer league. He drove

211
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,920

215
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: trying to dunk, but I couldn't do it, so I

216
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: just left. But yeah, man, it was like I think, yeah,

217
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: eighth grade going to my ninth grade year. So once

218
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,960

00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: Boll get ready, when did you feel like it was

221
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: turning around that people was appreciating how you who When

222
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: you start seeing your name ranked in the state, then

223
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: when you start seeing your name raked in the country.

224
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: Man, I'm going to give you a try to make

225
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: this a quick little story. So my this is my

226
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: sophomore year. Like we're in the playoffs. So we had

227
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: to play against this school called Glen Oaks out of

228
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: Baton Ruge. I don't know if y'all remember the name

229
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: Lester Earl so Leicester man. He was one of the

230
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: top Like he was one of the top players in

231
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: the state at the time. I had never heard of, Like,

232
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 3: I didn't know who he was. And so we had

233
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: to go down to ben Ruge and play play in

234
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: this playoff game. And I remember we went to the

235
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: mall before the game, and there's a couple of people

236
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 3: in there. They was like, man, where y'all from, Like

237
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: what the team y'all? And they was like, well, who

238
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,480

239
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: y'all might as well get back on the highway and

240
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: go back home. He was a monster, man. But after

241
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 3: that game, I probably had about twelve I found out

242
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: the game, I probably had like twelve points, like five blocks,

243
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: Like I didn't think I played that well. But after

244
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: the game, I don't know if y'all remember a bad

245
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: founcer from Adidas, Like he came in and talked to

00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: my coach and he was like, they wanted to invite

247
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: me to the Adidas camp, the abc D camp. So man,

248
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,720

252
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: He asked me if I heard Kobe Bryant and I

253
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: was like, no, I never heard Kobe Bryant at the time,

254
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 3: like this like my tenth grade year, I ain't know

255
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: who Kobe was. So he was like, well, the guy

00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: you just played with, like he was at the Adidas

257

260
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: So I was like cool, Like I was excited about

261
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: it because I was able to finally go and see

262
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: like test my game against some of the best players. Yeah,

263
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: so they told me I had to get on the airplane.

264
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: I was like, man, I was. I was terrified to

265
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: get on the plane. I was like, man, y'all. I

266

272
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: I remember. So this was crazy though, because so once

273
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: I get there, I think this is where I like

274
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: kind of blew up and kind of made a name

275
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: for myself because I wasn't even really traveling, like playing

276
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: like aau ball at this time, like this like I'm

277
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: just not getting started. So I get there and they

278
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: put us on this team. You know, when you get

279
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 3: to the camp, so they kind of get everybody together

280
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: and put you on the team. So I'm there and

281
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 3: I was watching the podcast. I can't remember which one

282
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: it was. I think it's The Pivot with Ryan Clark,

283
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 3: and they had TMAC on the on the on the show.

284
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 3: So I always like, I always like to get like

285
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: different perspectives on how people remember like certain events. So

286
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: when I get there, like they put the team together.

287
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: So we there for like maybe a day or so,

288
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: and then they bring this one guy to the team.

289
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: He's like the last person to get to the camp

290
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: and they put him on the team. Man, it was Max,

291
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: So he came in and like, this is just my

292
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 3: memory of the first game that I got a chance

293
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: to play with Mac when I found out who he was, Like, man,

294
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: I thought I could play a little bit. At the time,

295
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 3: I'm like six eight, Like I can put the ball

296
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: on the floor just a little bit. Like I wouldn't

00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: like I ain't had like to Gouart handled, but I

298
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: can handle a little bit. Man Like the first game

299
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: he came like nobody knew who he was, and man,

300
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: I like, and when I tell you, he wouldn't shoot

301
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 3: the ball at first, but he came out the second

302
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: half and lit that thing up. I was like, damn.

303
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: I was like I had never seen I had never

304
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: seen nobody play like that before. At six eight. They

305
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: can handle, they can shoot and had hops like man,

306
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: he was the truth and the whole time at the camp.

307
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if he remembered you, but Big Vattel

308
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: was there and man, they was just like Lamar Oldhams

309
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: Lamar Oldhams like he was like he was supposed to

310
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,080

Speaker 3: i probably had one of my, best like my best

1393
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 3: seasons playing Under. Human but like, Man hubet was the

1394
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 3: type of, guy like he wasn't really like a politics.

1395
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 3: Guy you, know there's a lot of politics going on

1396
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 3: in the. League AND i REMEMBER i Think bondzi like

1397
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 3: we had made a. Trade bunzie had came over From,

1398
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:05,479
Speaker 3: portland and THEN i think we end up Trading Drew

1399
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 3: gooden to Get Mike. Miller Mike, miller SO i Remember

1400
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 3: bunsie And mike they were playing basically kind of like

1401
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 3: the same. Position man B. Wells he was kind of like.

1402
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:19,959
Speaker 3: You he was a, Monster like he could play defense

1403
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 3: like hed get, buckets he could play in the post

1404
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 3: and he be like. That he had this toughness about.

1405
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 3: Him he'd be like. That SO i just remember it

1406
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 3: was a it was a dilemma of like who they

1407
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 3: was gonna, Play who was gonna start Like Michael, Bunsen

1408
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 3: and at the Time bunsie was like was playing a

1409
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 3: little bit better Than, mike BUT i Think mike had

1410
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 3: just got his, money like they had just Paid mike or,

1411
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 3: something and, uh BUT hu didn't care about, this Like

1412
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 3: he's gonna play the best person at that. Position he

1413
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 3: Eventually mike got that, spot but at the, time, like,

1414
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,719
Speaker 3: man he wasn't like nobody upstairs was gonna make him

1415
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 3: play somebody that he didn't want to, play so like he,

1416
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 3: know he ain't really buying to that politics. Stuff so

1417
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 3: the system that we had it was like you knew
