At some 199 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 4: point you have to leave, Like whether you come back 200 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 4: or not, that's a different thing. 201 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: Totally. 202 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: I feel like for our survival and for us to 203 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: get to where we've gotten in our life, that it 204 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 4: was imperative for us to leave because if we didn't, 205 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 4: who knows what could have happened. Just so, like you said, 206 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: just from being around it so much, not necessarily being 207 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: directly involved in anything. But we all got friends, family, 208 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 4: whatever it may be, that have been impacted or our 209 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: in the streets in one way.

So when I 578 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 4: got to college, it was like I already knew you 579 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 4: really don't talk back to the coach like, and if 580 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 4: you do, you do it in respectful man, Because my 581 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 4: pops always was like you could speak your peace and 582 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 4: say your mind, but you gonna not ever disrespect me 583 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 4: in no type of way. 584 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: Like You're gonna always respect this. 585 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 4: So like I always knew how to communicate back and 586 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 4: forth and still be able to move within that, you 587 00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, what, especially when it's volatile, I 588 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 4: could go back and forth. I can think of times 589 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 4: with me and coach Poster, coach stan Van Gundy, we 590 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 4: going natty. He yelling me, I'm yelling at him, but 591 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 4: it's like he still know that my heart was in 592 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 4: the right place. It was never about me being selfish 593 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 4: or something like that. It would be always something as 594 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 4: long as it was that they never had a problem 595 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 4: with me and they you know what I'm saying. I 596 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 4: think that's why they loved me for my passion for 597 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 4: the game and for the team. As long as it 598 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 4: wasn't selfish and stuff like that, it was cool. But 599 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 4: I think that's why some of these kids they can't 600 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 4: take it when they get to this level because they 601 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 4: ain't been coached like that. 602 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely understand that, but I didn't get coached 603 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 2: in high school like that, and I'm with all the 604 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 2: authority stuff. I don't really got no problem that because 605 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 2: I run through a brick wall. For you too. It's 606 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: just when a coach come to you like he gonna 607 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: beat your ass, like he gonna come to me, you 608 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: got a point at me, or you running up on 609 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: me like you're finna do something like you coming from 610 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: an environment where I'm coming from, the first thing we 611 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: ready to do is step up and do whatever you're 612 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: talking about. So when you coming at me like that 613 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 2: instead of really teaching me and getting on my that's 614 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 2: the right way, and you gotta you gotta be at me. 615 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: That ain't how you coach, you know what I'm saying. 616 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: It's a proper way to do things. They try to 617 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: say be professional, but if a player get up and 618 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: get in your ass, then it'd be like, oh, he's 619 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: being unprofessional, So why not the coach being professional? Like 620 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: I said, I don't got no problem with coaches getting 621 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 2: on your ass saying what you do. But when you're 622 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 2: talking to me like you're gonna put your hands on me, 623 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: that I ain't come from that.
