28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,800

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,880

Speaker 1: How much of that do you actually does? Josh Power

00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: get to go fuck up?

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: After you pay your agent, your taxes, your lawyers, your trainer, Like.

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: What is that hundred m? What do the one hundred

34
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: ms really mean? We'll go We'll go with the fifty

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, out the gate. Depending on

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 1: where you live, you might as well have that wow

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: out the gate just for taxes, taxes and everything else.

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: So by the time you paid it to you if

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: you save, for example, you in New York, save for

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: example you in Cali, Like those are some of the

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: highest places. Yeah, yeah, but then but then it's like,

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: depending on where you go, they got different ways to

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: go about it. But Texas, Florida, you know, those those

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: those places that don't tax you. So out the gate,

45
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: I would say, just assume you got half of that.

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: Then after just then, after you pay the people that's

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: working for you, if you got anybody, you know what

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you gotta go ahead and take probably another

49
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: ticket just in case. But your agent gonna get two

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: to three percent, you know what I'm saying. So by

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: the time you look up man and then you I mean,

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: but out of.

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: Like standard management.

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: But if they find other deals and different things like that, Yeah,

55
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: so it's like you know, that number can be whatever.

56
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: So I would say if somebody's mothers and you real

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: good with your money, might be able to and you

58
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: put yourself on a budget at least twenty twenty out

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: of their fifty. But okay, and that's that's what living

60
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: all like. If you say your monthly spending is, let's

61
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: just say it's thirty grand a month.

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: I'm saying, so before you get to go buy a lamb,

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: a chain or whatever. You're saying that one hundred turns

Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that sounds that's still but that's cool.

72
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, ship when you think about it, it really ain't

73
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: ship though. You know what I'm saying, you just looking

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 5: at the number, twenty million is a lot regardless. Get

75
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: that's just like you hit the number of the day

76
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 5: for a billion dollars and they tell you U a

77
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,880

Speaker 1: Mean you're gonna be mad right right right now.

79
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,640

Speaker 5: with jene Got.

92
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,120

Speaker 3: Nah, I'm fucking from Indonesia.

99
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: Are you a US citizen? Yes, so as soon as

Speaker 2: you sign up and get that social the security, you.

101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: Get social security, man, like you got it?

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: Did you a lot of in the beginning? No, no, no,

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I ain't. I ain't never been that type of person.

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: What what What did it for me was divorce having

105
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: to start over. Yeah, that's what it is.

106
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: So we wanting up.

107
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: You got the and that, and that's a lot of

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of learning curves in there, you know.

109
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: So I did not damn, so I got married on

110
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of what a lot of people don't

111
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: tell you is like you and again there's more information

112
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: out here now, but at the time they was like,

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: well you can get a pre numbers like I ain't

114
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: got nothing. And this is at the beginning.

115
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: Again because you're not thinking that far.

116
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm at the beginning, beginning. But it's also everything that

117
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: you all accumulate together, that's what you split. So like

118
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: let's say, for example, uh, I signed a pre nump

119
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: right and I'm six years in, but then I signed

120
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: for fifty ms within the time we married. Got to

121
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: split that. Oh so it's what you come with, not

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: what I make. No, no, no, not. I'm saying, what

123
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: you make when y'all get married, like whatever happens after that,

124
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: because you you might. I've seen some people hold out

125
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: until they can't hold out no more. So that way

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: everything goes to them, you know what I'm saying, and

127
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: then they get married. But anything that you accumulate together

128
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: once y'all are married, you got to split that.

129
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: Wow?

130
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: Is that okay?

131
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 6: So you're saying anything that you accumulate, accumulate while you're married,

132
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 6: you have to.

133
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: Split as far as the prenup is concerned.

134
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 6: So basically, a pre nup really isn't an your best

135
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 6: interest if you plan on being in a long term relations.

136
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: You already got money, but it still can. But that's

137
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: why saying the education that comes with it. Because you

138
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: got pre nump, you got post numb. Yes, you got

139
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: different things that you could do to protect to text

140
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: your money, you know what I'm saying. If that's the cause.

141
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: After, I mean the post up is after, so.

142
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: You know that. For me, it was like I'm twenty

143
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: four years old, I had already went through a previous

144
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: situation because the person that I entrusted to help finance,

145
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, help me be in a much better financial

146
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: situation stole my money, so out the gate, I was

147
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: already behind the eight ball. So literally, like what I

148
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: was making my rookie deal was good money, but still

149
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm playing makeup on top of the fact that I

150
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: had a custody case going on my rookie year. So

151
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: I was already with my oldest with my oldest Yeah,

152
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: so I was already like in the middle of fighting

153
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: and doing all of these things as well as trying

154
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: to take care of myself, and I was also taking

155
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: care of other family members and all that. So I

156
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: was I was stretching it, making it do what to do?

157
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: What would you have done different? What would I've done this?

158
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: From the day you sign into the NBA? What would

159
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: you have done different? I'm gonna be real with you.

160
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: I feel like it's nothing for me to do different

161
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: because my experiences can help somebody else. And that's that's

162
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: in life. That's where I am because you learn it.

163
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: And it's not that I've always been somebody that's bad

164
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: with money. I ain't never been that type of person,

165
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: but just knowing the things that I know now, because

166
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, we fall, we get back up. I didn't

167
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: stay down. You know what I'm saying, So I'm in

168
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: a much better place now, but what I learned from

169
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: that has helped me where I am now. So if

170
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: I would have changed that, then I don't know if

171
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: I would have the same habits or been able to

172
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: learn to do the things that I that I'm doing

173
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: now because of the things that's happened.

174
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 6: But I feel like in situations when people come into

175
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 6: a lot of money, whether it be like some lottery

176
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 6: shit or like some sports shit or some rap shit

177
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 6: or whatever, and they lose their money, I be feeling

178
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 6: like it's not necessarily like you said, that they're bad

179
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 6: with money, but a lot of people's problem is that

180
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 6: they're like too overly generous.

181
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: And it's not that you know, they're fucking it up

182
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: on like friblous shit.

183
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 6: They're doing what they feel like they're supposed to do

184
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 6: as the top provider of their situation.

185
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: N that's a fair thing, but I think that with

186
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: anything that we do, people don't appreciate what they have

187
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: at the time that they have it because it ain't

188
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: just money. People losing they girls, they guys, Yeah, people

189
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: losing out business opportunities because at that moment you didn't

190
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: appreciate it when you had it. So you always feel like,

191
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: well I got fifty million, I'm good, I'm straight, or

192
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: that next deal is coming and you never know because

193
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: anything can happen. Yeah, So a lot of times when

194
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: people get in them situation. I know for us as

195
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: ball players, especially because I work with the un you

196
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: now and helping players, so we do like programming and

197
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: stuff like that, you know what I'm saying, and with

198
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: my department, so we're helping guys with their transition. Were

199
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: also helping the guys you know currently, like I said,

200
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: as well as retired guys. So it's just a lot

201
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: of that that goes on when when you're young and

202
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: you get money, you think it's forever. So for you

203
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: and your mindset, if you're not putting yourself in that position,

204
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: you're not thinking what's the next thing, or how can

205
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: I secure this or do this to do that.

206
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: Because you think you're going to spend a check and get.

207
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: It right back and listen, somebody like Lebron or Kobe

208
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: or all of these different people that have been able

209
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: to reach close to a billion, like they came in

210
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: with the mindset on how we're gonna build how we're

211
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna maximize. When you see people with real money, they

212
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: don't pay for anything. That was something that I learned

213
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: being around like the top dogs, like I seen Kobe

214
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: shooting around with people's kids, getting one hundred hours of

215
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: free private jet time, like just on doing some free throw,

216
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: some simple stuff like that, or doing a little signature,

217
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: taking a little picture. Now you got a free little lamb.

218
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: That's that's stuff we ain't thinking about. Were going we

219
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: getting money, We're going, we're buying. They ain't doing that.

220
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: Yeah what minute. That's why they're always in the newest thing.

221
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: They in the freshest thing, like they just got this

222
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: a different system at it? Who coming up?

223
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 5: Who's your life basketball? You're like, damn, I want my

224
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: game to be designed or I want to be looked

225
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: at like this in the game, like who's your who's

226
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 5: your top?

227
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: So my mom introduced me to the game, and I

228
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: was actually playing football and baseball when I first started.

229
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: And when I first cut on the TV, the first

230
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: team that I saw was the Rocket, So I saw

231
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: a team of Juan, So that's my goal, and then

232
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: next up would be KG. So that's why I like

233
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: the number one. Yeah, I kind regard that. So I

234
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: grew up watching that and I would always patting everything

235
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: after that because he was like that guy for me,

236
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: I've seen him do it on both ends of the floor,

237
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: like giving you a bucket, go up, going the other end,

238
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: strap strap up. I was like, man, I like what

239
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: he's doing. So that's the only person that I could

240
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: think about growing up, like those teams that I watched,

241
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: like and then getting a chance to watch the Hawks

242
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: because I'm a home you know this my hometown and

243
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: just being able to see Mochi or see the Kimbay

244
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: or see you know, Nick and all that. So those

245
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: are some of the people like I looked up to

246
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: patting my game after and stuff like that.

247
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: Man holding up that trophy as an NBA champion versus

248
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 2: signing that massive money contract, Like which one was more

249
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: gratifying to you?

250
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: I think championship because it's legended, that's forever.

251
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: So you wanted them to take the dinner niggas.

252
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say I'm gonna take the dinner type

253
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: of guy, but but I but I do feel for

254
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: me like the the blood, sweat and tears that I

255
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: put in, and it's as hard as y'all work like

256
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: you want to be stamped. You want you want your

257
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: name and your legacy to be seen. Many like money

258
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,599
Speaker 1: come and go, you know what I'm saying, But like

259
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in a place of gratitude and appreciation. So

260
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: it's like those things like when you go to my

261
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: high school, you see Boom Jim. You know what I'm saying,

262
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: Like when you think the South Side think of me,

263
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: you feel me like I grew up Brady Jim, Like

264
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: that was one of the teams I played that, you

265
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like Coach Keep, I played for Outlaw,

266
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Like these are just like the same way with Outlaw,

267
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: like his name, you know, he legendre you know what

268
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean. But that to me means a lot, because

269
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: that means you've helped pave the way for something. When

270
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: people speak your name like you're a part of that.

271
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: Right.

272
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: Nobody can tell make that chip away.

273
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: It's historical.

274
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Nobody can take that away. Nobody can take two of

275
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: them away. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like it's

276
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: just a different thing you feel me like and and

277
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: it ain't just about me, like I felt like that

278
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: was for the South Side. You know what I'm saying,

279
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: like I felt like that was for my fault, like

280
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: gotty roll like all that, like where I come from,

281
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: like my people, Like I felt like everything that I've

282
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: done south Side Clayton County has always been on my

283
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: heart no matter what.

284
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: So you think the people that played and made a

285
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: lot of money but they couldn't win because they had

286
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: the Jordan in the way or brun in the way

287
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: or step hurting them in the way. You think that

288
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: they feel some type of void some of them players

289
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: because they never got the hold of the trophy.

290
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Now you know, it's funny because most people, they swear

291
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: they'll take the money. But then it depends on the

292
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: type of competitor you are. I'm not here to say

293
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: anything about what you do how you do it, but

294
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: if you are a competitor the way that you say,

295
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: I would think winning is important. Fact, nobody likes to

296
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: be this because you lose. We know a lot of

297
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: we know a lot of people with money, but we

298
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: talk about the people with money who win. That's true,

299
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: we don't in fact the other people that got reds.

300
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 5: Who getting the Grammars you talk about, right, and niggas

301
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 5: who ain't winning that's a.

302
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: Part of the argument, the goats and all of that.

303
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, that's cool. But then the next

304
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: thing up is like what puts you up there? What

305
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: what they talking about on ESPN right now is like,

306
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: who's the all time got? This has been the conversation forever.

307
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: Is it Cold? Is it Jordan? Is it Lebron? Is

308
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: it this one? Is it that one? They ain't talking

309
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: about who got what money? They talking about who don't want? Who?

310
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: Putting them stats up? They talking about who? You know what,

311
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Okay, they done got for it? This? How

312
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: many other points? Now they're doing it on the other end,

313
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: how do you separate that person? Like that's what they

314
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: talk about. Ain't ain't about no bread.

315
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: They said any else?

316
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: I think being being the goat, Like if he ain't

317
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: talking numbers.

318
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: It's really like it's really like your own preference, because

319
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: some nigga might say niggas the goat because the impact

320
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 5: they pushed off on the people.

321
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, like he could have he

322
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: could have just said if you put like you said, Lebron,

323
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Kobe and Jordan, Jordan's.

324
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 5: Altogether okay, jo ain't got the money, but he counted

325
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: he impacted the coach with the shoes, with the with

326
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 5: the rings with.

327
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: It's like, you gotta put all that shit into play, right,

328
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: you got to. So that what they say about Lebron too,

329
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: that's a part of his argument because of the things

330
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: not only doing on the court, but what he's doing

331
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: off the court exactly, the schools, the businesses putting that

332
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: Miers on, you ain't heard nothing crazy now to his

333
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: side of his camp, like he got a tight ship

334
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: over there. Nigga run for president. Real talking, be powerful, bro,

335
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: real talk, you know what I'm saying. So that's something

336
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: that's to be commended, man, because when you step into

337
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: this role, the same thing with y'all, y'all got a

338
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: powerful voice. People what y'all say, People that stamp, no

339
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: matter what it is, you tell us, aboy, go vote

340
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: for somebody. You tell somebody to show up, so well

341
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: them people coming. There's power in that. Not everybody can

342
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: do that. Everybody can't move to your beat. So that

343
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: lets you know where you're at and what you own.

344
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 2: We all saw that Cam Newton situation that he had

345
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: in his camp. You know I'm saying, when he got

346
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: into a little scuffle what have you? How do you

347
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: as a NBA player, celebrity, public figure, how do you

348
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: personally if you ever had to deal with that type

349
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: of stuff deal with it? Because you know, obviously this

350
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 2: obviously comes with you know, hate, jealousy, confusion, whatever the

351
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: case is that caused that scuffle.

352
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: How do you deal with as Josh Power. I think

353
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: it's For one, I think it's laying like no disrespect

354
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: to anybody that was involved. But I hate seeing our

355
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: people behave in that matter for one. For two, I

356
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: hate to see the fact that somebody's doing something in

357
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: their community and to receive that type of hatred or whatever,

358
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, whatever they're trying to say, Well, he says

359
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: something to us crazy like we can't allow words or

360
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: something to get us out of pocket.

361
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 6: Like that he's positive and he's doing something good at

362
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 6: the end, what.

363
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 5: Like for real, it really wasn't positive out of it though,

364
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 5: because your niggas.

365
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: Gonna learn it. But that that that's the unfortunate part,

366
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: because it's like people are doing so much good stuff

367
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: and it's like something like that happened, and then it's

368
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: like the culture. But then we wonder while other cultures

369
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: struggle in regards to us or while we get pushed

370
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: out of stuff because we don't know how to behave.

371
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 6: And then on top of that, like Cam is a

372
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 6: Cam is a strong person and he's from THEO and

373
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 6: he gets it. But it's a lot of people that

374
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 6: wouldn't understand that, and that Woulin the program, and that

375
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 6: would not only destroy what they were trying to build,

376
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 6: but it'll destroy the kids. And the niggas that were

377
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 6: fighting aren't even thinking about the effect that that could

378
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 6: have had on the kids. If he was like, fuck y'all, niggas,

379
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 6: I'm finna kill this program because y'all want to act

380
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 6: like animals and now these kids have nothing to do,

381
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 6: nowhere to go and.

382
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: Nothing to play.

383
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: Or worse, what if somebody really really got hurt? You

384
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So I think for me, I'm

385
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna throw this out here. Hope camp see it. But

386
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I think for me, invite them on your podcast, bro,

387
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: have a conversation and y'all show man what we got

388
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: to see. I don't know the guys, but that's what.

389
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 3: Would want to talk though.

390
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: But that's what we got to push for. It would

391
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: be it would let's do it. Let's talk about it.

392
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: Talk about it.

393
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 6: I'm on, I'm I'm on the devil's advocate flipped hand,

394
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 6: the other side of the situation.

395
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: This is how you feel.

396
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 6: I feel like I get that, and I get like

397
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 6: having to talk and doing all of that, but I

398
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 6: just feel like.

399
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: I feel like.

400
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 6: I don't I don't see like shining light on stupidity.

401
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: Like I get the talk.

402
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 6: And all of that, but they really tried it in

403
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 6: front of the kids while he was doing something positive

404
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 6: with his time and his money that he didn't have

405
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 6: to do.

406
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: No, that would make.

407
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 5: Sense though what he's saying though, because we don't really

408
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 5: know what exactly what he is, won't know what happened.

409
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: There could to be a big misunderstanding.

410
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 5: We're looking at it because he ca'm new, somebody tried,

411
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 5: and you get what I'm saying. Anything could have happened.

412
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 5: He could have he could have been having a bad day.

413
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 5: I don't don't not to say that I don't know

414
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 5: what happened. I'm just saying we never know what happens.

415
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 5: So a conversation would be nice.

416
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: But so you you have a hold on you bank

417
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: got a great point. You got a great point. What

418
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: I would like to say is, yes, we see enough

419
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: stupidity online, we see enough stupidity in our communities and

420
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: in our households. Why not have people set the example

421
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: to show what emotional intelligence look like, conflict resolution looks like.

422
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Why not be the first to say, you know what,

423
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: let's do that. Even as city as it is. But

424
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: Cam has millions of people that's following him. He can

425
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: literally set the tone and change the narrative. Instead of

426
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: having everybody else speak about it, he can just address

427
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: it himself. Now we're doing something different, and that's gonna

428
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: put us in a different in a different light.

429
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I feel that in everything, But but I

430
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 6: just didn't like the way them niggas was trying to

431
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 6: talk shit after the fact.

432
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: I agree, I.

433
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 6: Put you up everybody saying like, Okay, everybody's taking Cam

434
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 6: side because he's Cam Newton and all that ship. But

435
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, bro, like I just man,

436
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 6: I just feel like he was trying to do the

437
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 6: right thing, and them niggas tried it like, and.

438
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: That's not going I'm gonna say this too. I'm not

439
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm not taking nobody's side because they both was pushing

440
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: peace right, because at the end of the day too,

441
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: there are some questions that I have even in regards

442
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: to CAM, like ou done been in my area, right,

443
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be in my area

444
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: and not have people on deck. Now, other people may

445
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: not know they on deck, but yeah, there's no way

446
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: CAM is supposed to be touchable like that, you know

447
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

448
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 5: So, but on another hand, to though, you're right what

449
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 5: you're saying, But you gotta think about this. If I'm

450
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 5: doing again for the kid, I gotta feel and let

451
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 5: the kid feel like they can touch me. Absolutely, people too,

452
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 5: So if I mean, it's the environment you in. So

453
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: if I'm I got out the security, it make it

454
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 5: look like what am I.

455
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 1: I ain't saying all the security like that to your point, right,

456
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying from the standpoint, it shouldn't have got

457
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: like that. Hold hold on, hold yeah, yeah, it shouldn't

458
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: got because it was like this. But then it was like, Bro,

459
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: it's a whole dude that snuck up with a book bag,

460
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: swung and everything.

461
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 3: You mean to tell me nobody saw that.

462
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: You feel me like he already tussling holes Come up

463
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: the stairs, bro, like where you come from? What if

464
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: he had some moment I got to see that. I

465
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: just seem like, list, we lost somebody shooting dice and

466
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: doing whatever in Houston behind not making the right decision.

467
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Anything can happen because guys us,

468
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: we get emotional and then it's like, no, bro, my

469
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: ego bigger than your You're not gonna disrespect me. This

470
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do. This is what I'm on. Hey,

471
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: how you get like right here? Like you know what

472
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because you be caught when we on the

473
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: phone ship. You can keep the same energy at all times.

474
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: I was, And I'm glad you asked that because my

475
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: mentality growing up, I was a hot head. A lot

476
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: of people don't know that. You know what I'm saying, Like,

477
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: first of all, I was an introvert. I was dealing

478
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: with my pain and different things I had going on.

479
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: But when I started getting a check. It happened before

480
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: that because in college, when I had a grown man

481
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: tell me, f me go back home and all that,

482
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: I was like, that's what we own. Bro, I'm a kid.

483
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be here to help me. But they

484
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: started messing with my playing time. You see what I'm saying,

485
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: So now you mess with my money. That was in college,

486
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: they got so much power control. If you my coach

487
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: and you don't like me for whatever reason, he just say,

488
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: you know what, I got something big, don I'm just

489
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: not gonna play him. I've been working my whole life

490
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: for this opportunity. Now you just like bump brouh. I

491
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: ain't gonna play because I just don't like him. I

492
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: could be the best one on the team. So when

493
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: I went to Overseas, sorry, when I went NBA first

494
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: and then went Overseas and then started going on my journey,

495
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: I started seeing how the behaviors is impacting guys' livelihood.

496
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Why would I want to mess with that.

497
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 3: That.

498
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: I had to flip a switch quick, because it's gonna

499
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: mess with with my name, it's gonna mess with how

500
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: people are viewing me. Now you know what I'm saying.

501
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: That gets in the way of my check. So I

502
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: had to pipe down, bro. And it's the hardest thing,

503
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: especially when somebody disrespect you would get out of pocket

504
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: because you willing to stand on being a man first.

505
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: But then I understood that a part of being a

506
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: man is having that strength to say no, having that

507
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: strength to walk away. Hey, bro, you got it. I

508
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: don't want no problems. So it wasn't though like specific

509
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: you saying that's the incident like that was one because

510
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: over time I really was on that type of time, like, Bro,

511
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: I'll see you like and people can never see me

512
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: that way cause they're like, Bro, you've always so come

513
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: like Bro, for real could go there. I really got

514
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: that deep, deep, deep deep embedded in my bones, bro,

515
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: because I came up having to fight and do certain

516
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: things because of the way I was treated, because of

517
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: the things that I went through, Bro, Like when I

518
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,239
Speaker 1: stayed at Old Tambilla, Bro, we was fighting doing all

519
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: that off. You know what I'm saying. Being jumped was like, Bru,

520
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: I got jumped one time, br by seven people bright

521
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: had an asthma tack bad because I got asthma. Two

522
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: folk jumped down on me over some bull like I

523
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: don't even remember what it was, but I still remember

524
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: those incidents, you know what I'm saying. I got a

525
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: lot of those that I can account on. But then,

526
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: because we always talk about what we do here, I'll

527
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: never forget going overseas and you on somebody else turf,

528
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: So playing for Mafia own team for example, and the

529
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: stuff that be going down. Bro, you got the move different?

530
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: You either move different or you ain't coming home. It's

531
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: however you want to play it. So y'all got it? Bro,

532
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I ain't. I don't seen too much. That's that's the

533
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: other reason why I'm just like, I'm cool.

534
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 5: I don't know, brother, how hard was it like being

535
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 5: like NBA playing like on the road for like being

536
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 5: in a relationship.

537
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard being on the road, and it's

538
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: hard being presents because it takes it takes work two

539
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: individuals that are both for one dealing with their past

540
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: traumas and everything else. And then when you get set

541
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: in your ways, if you're not willing to do the work.

542
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: So now y'all seeing life totally different. The way you

543
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: view problem solving is totally different. Don't add kids to

544
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: the mix because now you you think in your way

545
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: might be better than the other person way. And y'all

546
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: not talking like communication is key, But in communication a

547
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: lot of people don't think about listening. There some power

548
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: in listening, you know what I'm saying. We were so

549
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: ready to do this, this, this, and this, but were

550
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: not willing to listen. How can I understand you if

551
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't listen to you react right, and a lot

552
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: of people it's like you'll talk, but I'm so ready

553
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: to I ain't heard nothing about what you like, what

554
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: you don't like, what you come from. Because that's gonna

555
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: help me manage this relationship. If I love you, food

556
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: with you the way that I say, I need to

557
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: listen to you facts. If that's a fact, I can

558
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: sit on the phone, bro, like for real me and

559
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: you don't chop it up. Plenty of time, bro, we

560
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: just chop it up whatever you got going on, because

561
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: I need to listen what bank going on. I'm listening

562
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: to a lot of things, not just what he's saying.

563
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm listening to his temperament, or if we're in person,

564
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm watching his temperament. There's a lot of things that

565
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: I get just in being present in the moment. All right, cool,

566
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: I got it. I see what bank on, I see

567
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: what King, I see what queen. You know what I'm

568
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: saying just by paying attention because I want to be

569
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: able to develop up a level of trust with you

570
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: all or whoever the person is I can't do that

571
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: if I feel like, nah, but I got it. Okay,

572
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: you talk, okay, cool, I'm ready, I got I got

573
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: the next thing. And it's like they gonna walk away

574
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: feeling kind of like he seemed cool, but I don't.

575
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't really know, bro, it's something about brother. I

576
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: ain't really feeling that.

577
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

578
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: And then the other part to that is too, like

579
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: understand the situations because when I have people that tell

580
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: me they love me, do the things that they've done

581
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: to me that let me know too, I need to

582
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: be tuned in a little differently. But what pushed you

583
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: in the podcast? Like relationship matag now it's dope, it's dope.

584
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to you, now, what pushed you in the podcast?

585
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: Because everything that we do deal with relationships, everything, business, friendships, family,

586
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: being a parent, you know, your kids, all your significant other.

587
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: Everything that we do has to do with relationships. So

588
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, when I first because I

589
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: had people hit me like you know, talk about sports

590
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: or do this or do that. Man, it's bigger than that.

591
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: I want to I want to separate myself. Like if

592
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: you go on my page, I barely post anything basketball.

593
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: People don't even know who. It's a lot of people

594
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: that just really don't know who. And to me, that's

595
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: cool because it's like you get a chance to get

596
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: to know me as a person versus yeah, like bro

597
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: who But nah, I want.

598
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: You to know me, not two time championship winner.

599
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: That's great, but I rather I'd rather I rather you

600
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: know me. I feel like I feel like I don't

618
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 5: same bank. They just did a lot of different shit,

619
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 5: had a song with Candy.

620
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: And all this shit. They don't know. It's it's like

621
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: ten different niggas. But that's the beautiful part of the journey,

622
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And that's that's the thing

623
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: for me, is because I love I love the journey.

624
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: But the other thing that I learned about the journey

625
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: is as you continue to grow, it gets lonely because

626
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: not everybody is seeing that thing the way that you're seeing. Yeah,

627
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: did to get real lonely? Bro, because you know, you

628
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: feel like, man, I'm having conversations people just ain't understanding.

629
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: Not that you have to agree that they see you,

630
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: they understand. I get where you're getting at. Now, let

631
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: me challenge you on this, all right, Cool, let's add

632
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: that conversation. Yeah, I'm willing to go there. But everything else, Man,

633
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: it's hard. But I wouldn't change it for the world

634
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be the type of person

635
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: where I was the hot head or I'm talking to

636
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: people crazy or doing certain things. I want to be

637
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: the type of person that move on, especially not being

638
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: in a relationship like you can't. If you want your

639
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: relationship to be positive and to flourish, you got to

640
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: understand grace, You got to understand forgiveness, You got the

641
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: mimble of it all that you got to move forward

642
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: because it's more. The most important thing is y'all ain't

643
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: got nothing to do with me. I gotta let that

644
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: out the window. So that's why the relationship thing, man,

645
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: it's so beautiful because yeah, everybody in it, but what

646
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: are we doing in it? And then in the space

647
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: that me and her have because we're coming from two

648
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: totally different perspectives. That's what makes it great. Because you

649
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: either got the man thing the woman thing, or you

650
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: got couples and then that's it. And then depending on

651
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: who you're talking to, it's either pro woman bash man,

652
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: pro man bash woman, somebody losing, you know what I'm saying,

653
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: instead of just like we're trying to do this thing together.

654
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: You feel me because that's the only way. And this,

655
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: this war or whatever this is between men and women,

656
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: especially in our community, it's a real.

657
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: Thing man, in big fact tradition. Like I said, we

658
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: talked to Big Baby about this. We talked to the

659
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: Will about this, Steve Jackson, EMU SHUMPERD. But I want

660
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: to know from the Latin.

661
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: Naty, who are the basketball rapping goats? The basketball goats, yes,

662
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: three of them, the ghats of basketball rapping. Does it

663
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: matter like current or just of all greatest of all time?

664
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: That's the greatest because I always jump out there and

665
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: say shack, and then they jump on me because I

666
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: say shack, but you said shock. Because of the rewards,

667
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 1: the plaques. Yeah, it's some hard songs that people still

668
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: listen to. He had a song Biggie that people still

669
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: listen to. Is that because the Biggie? I'm not getting

670
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: into that. Oh you should see. We could see all

671
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: say we could we can say.

672
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: We can say people the person on the Lakers right

673
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: that didn't play, that was on the bench, way on

674
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 2: the side and get no minutes, still got a ring.

675
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: They're champion right, technically they are. I got an argument

676
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: for them too because I'm one on them that people

677
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: like to tell me about me too, So that's cool. Yeah,

678
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: min this though, but people will just spread it. That's

679
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: the beautiful part about the conversation. Yeah, and I'm a

680
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: realist bro like it's not. It's never gonna hurt my feelings,

681
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: like for me, you know what I'm saying. The league,

682
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: the league is going on for seventy eight or seventy nine.

683
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: Have a long the league has been going on, right,

684
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: there's only been almost five thousand people to wear a jersey.

685
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm one of them, so I don't have You could

686
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: call me a bitch more you could say. But I

687
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: also got nine years in of service, so it's like

688
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't like the one and done, which is nothing

689
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: wrong with that. I was able to get a couple

690
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: of years under my belt. There's something to be said

691
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: for that. There's something to be said for a person

692
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: to get a tryout that's not that's not easy, you

693
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So I think that it's fair

694
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: and to your point because we can talk about all

695
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: this nothing. But I wouldn't give Shaq that because he

696
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: had Biggie on the song. Cause Shaq really really go

697
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: bar for bar without any of that other stuff going

698
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: on I'm thinking about. But they like it. But he

699
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 1: came in the era and this is just for conversational purpose,

700
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: but he came in the era where he was able

701
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: to use his status and everything else like shot is

702
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: popping man. Some of the people using everything movies, music,

703
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: get all the chicks. They're gonna give it to you,

704
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: go get it. Some other people use their status amazing,

705
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: Please talk about God.

706
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,200

00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: there when that thing jumping. I want to go in

771
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: there and you know, stretch my wings a little bit,

772
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: watch a little TV.

773
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: Right, you know what I'm saying.

774
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I don't want no. I don't want

775
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: no problem. So but something like that was cool, like

776
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: where you could just go. That doesn't mean I was

777
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: on anything crazy. It was just the entertainment. Watching a

778
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: little TV, eating a little food, having some good conversation.

779
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,959
Speaker 1: Go home. You get to see a little something. Go home.

780
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I go to the I

781
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: like going to the movies. During my playing my playing days,

782
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time in the studio. I'm

783
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: a big music here, big music head making music or

784
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: just giving. Sometimes I give my input, other times just

785
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: sit in on sessions. I'm talking about. Been in there

786
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: with Polo I done, been in there with Timberlin. I

787
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: don't been in there with heavy hitters. Man. I went

788
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: to I listened to the chron two album at dre spot.

789
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: I had a chance to like really just tap in

790
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: man and just have some fun and connect with artists,

791
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: have the conversations about who's the best and all of

792
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: those different things. So that was what I did then

793
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: what I do now, I'll pick up the phone, reach

794
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: out to a brother. You know what I'm saying, tap

795
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: in with him. I'll read that Bible, I'll watch a sermon.

796
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I write, read, meditate, go

797
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: for a walk, workout. That's what my mom went to

798
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: the gail late night yesterday. The all thing you be

799
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: got there slipping back and forth like your mind. You

800
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. In my mind, bro, I'm there

801
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: right now, be one hundred with you, bro, and that

802
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: that that'd be my thing. Like, especially like when you

803
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: share with somebody that you're a believer, it's like, oh,

804
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: all that just go out the window, and it's like, no,

805
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: it don't. I'm a man still, you know what I'm saying.

806
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: My mind still be all over the place sometime, you

807
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I'm I'm always working on that.

808
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: The thing that I am proud of is like no

809
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: action mm hmm. So I'm not doing that the way

810
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: that I used to do that.

811
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 3: Okay, understood?

812
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: Overstood? Then why Atlanta, Bro? Like, because I was you

813
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: played for a lot of teams, so you played overseas

814
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: and everything. Why Atlanta? Why you felt like I gotta

815
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 1: go back to Atlanta? This way I gotta live being

816
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: from here, growing up here, you know what I'm saying.

817
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta's beautiful. Man. I feel like our people,

818
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: the way that we move, how we talk, the way

819
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: we dress, you know what I'm saying. And you might

820
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: have somebody clean, they might have, you know, to fit it,

821
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: to fit it outfit on you go on the south

822
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: side of everything. Three x t stem, three x three

823
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: x sweat stem. You feel me like, but we are,

824
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: we are who we are, you know. I think that's

825
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: the thing that I appreciate the most. And Atlanta is

826
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 1: a straight flight from here to anywhere in the world.

827
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: Can't beat that, and I love it. Man. I feel like,

828
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: you know, we don't put on like real Atlanta people like,

829
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: ain't no putting on. You know, you know who you are,

830
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: whatever side you're from, with how you move, how you move,

831
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: And that's the thing I appreciate. I've lived in a

832
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: lot of different places because of the teams I played

833
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: for and stuff like that, so I had a chance

834
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: to like kind of witness the cultures, you know what

835
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I think that another beautiful thing too,

836
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: is you know, you can raise your family here. You

837
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: know what, I'm saying, there's a lot of history and

838
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: culture here in the city. So there's a lot that

839
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: I that I appreciate about about Atlanta and how we

840
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: are as people. You know what I'm saying. Mm hmm.

841
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: It was one of the places you moved to that

842
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: might have been a little bit of a struggle though,

843
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: like maybe even overseas he was there, he was getting

844
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: the bread, he was hooping, but you was like, man, listen,

845
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: I went to China during the lockout. I went to

846
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: China a few times, but I was in a like

847
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: a third class cities. What that means is it's not Americanized.

848
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: So like if you go to a Beijing, they speak English,

849
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: you got a lot of like it feels like New York.

850
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, where I was, No folks spoke no English.

851
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: Ten inches of snow. During the time I was there,

852
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: I stayed at my room in the hotel. Yeah, I

853
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: stayed at my room the all time. So they had

854
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: either McDonald's. We was able to find a cool little

855
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: Chinese spot that you you know, that you can trust

856
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: for the most part. And then and then they had

857
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: like pizza. Pizza hud is a big thing over there,

858
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: so they treat like the piece of huod is like

859
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: Ruth Chris like, it's top tier service everything. So now

860
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: what n KFC crazy, Yeah, go crazy. It tastes different.

861
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: It's the price so that that money is different. I

862
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: don't know because you know the dollars change obviously now

863
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: with everything going on. But back then, man, I mean

864
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: you can make a dub stretch for sure, just to

865
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: show you know what I'm saying, you make a dumb stretch.

866
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: But the dope thing about like overseas is like they

867
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: pay for everything, so they give you for dim you know,

868
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: your spot is free, like you don't have to do

869
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: none of that. You got a driver, you got a

870
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: babysitter which is your translator. You got all of that

871
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: going on. So you just make a call, bro, You

872
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: just you know what I'm saying. They cater to you. Yeah,

873
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 1: so it's love like. And then when you're going everywhere

874
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: like them folks really will they mob? They come down?

875
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, So how don't you stay

876
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: that time? The two times that I went and played

877
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: done that season was like six months. Six months. Could

878
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: you consider yourself like if you had to build a

879
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: like five year, ten year stript Yeah, especially with the

880
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,480

00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

883
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: But even if I couldn't pick my city and I

884
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 1: got my family, you know, my folks with men, I'll

885
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: make it stress because you're gonna be over there with

886
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: a bad brother. Listen to folks be living bro. When

887
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't playing in the Philippines, our gm bro had

888
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,840

00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 2: Like did you have that problem too?

897

Speaker 1: It the bell was too small and they had the

898
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: toilet was like down. So it was just when you

899
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,520

00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,200

00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: You saying, like the shower water is fucked up too

923
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: all that, bro. They might shut the whole water off

924
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: on the island, you might just play a whole game.

925
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: Bro in Kate Wash, i'd've been in all that. That's

926
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,959
Speaker 1: not what you get paid play basketball. You get paid

927
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: to play basketball. But to the other question, when you ask,

928
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: like why are you always like this? And it's like

929
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: I done seen it all, Like I don't come from nothing,

930
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: And even when I got to a certain place, you

931
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 1: gotta be humble because you're playing on other people's turf.

932
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: Like whatever the situation is, what what I'm gonna do?

933
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: What can I do if it's an island issue, What

934
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: can I do if it's a city issue? You know

935
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like there's nothing that I could do.

936
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: And then like, for example, being in Venezuela, like we

937
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 1: was over there when the riots was going up. So

938
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: I have seen the folks cut up. I've been watching

939
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: a movie, you know, being hard hited because they like,

940
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: stay in your room, don't leave the hotel type stuff.

941
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: I go out anyway, go watch a movie, come out, brother,

942
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: folks shoot tear tear gas, shoot shoot bullets of people,

943
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: the whole show. And I'm caught up in that trying

944
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: to get back to my room. You know what I'm saying.

945
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: But what can you do because you stuck in the room,

946
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: you feel crazy. You got to get out and breathe

947
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: every now and then. So for me, that's what I

948
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: would take off.

949
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 5: So what you think like throughout your journey, what you

950
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 5: came up with, like the key to having a happy

951
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 5: life here? You know how you, how you when you

952
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 5: when you find you're inner piece that you got like

953
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 5: you kind of know it should.

954
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: Keep my happiness. This for me, the key is not happiness,

955
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: is contentment because people are dying behind being happy or sad.

956
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: So I got to be I got to be here

957
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: and just be grateful that I get to wake up

958
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 1: every day that I get another chance to be better,

959
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: that I got a roof over my head, close on

960
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,959
Speaker 1: my back. That's where I'm at. The happiness part, that's great.

961
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: Like if I if I have a great day, cool,

962
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm having it. I'm struggling with my mental health right

963
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: now as we speak, bro, because it's things that I

964
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: got to deal with that's going on in my life

965
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: court wise these kids, Like there's stuff going on right

966
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: now and in order for me to just keep it here,

967
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: like unless I speak on it, people wouldn't know because

968
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm just here and that's a real thing. But I'm

969
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: sharing that with y'all because it's important for guys especially,

970
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: Like it's okay, you know what I'm saying, Like keep fighting,

971
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: keep doing what you can to stay with it, because

972
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: your mental health and wellness, bro. Like we all can

973
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: put on, Bro, Like we all can put on especially

974
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: now we got social media, or even if it ain't

975
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: a social media thing, we can still put on because

976
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: that's in our nature to make people feel like we okay.

977
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: But it's okay to not be okay. But it's also

978
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: okay to express that you're not okay. And just how

979
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: do how do we get over that humps? You know

980
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I'm on that journey, bro, and

981
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,160

1015
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and don't allow people's situations

1016
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: and circumstances to get you out of out of kilter

Speaker 1: to fail, continue to fail until you succeed. And even

1020
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,719
