00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: Was like that shit was just happening, Like he catches

96
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: from the beginning, like what's up?

00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: Like, damn, what kind of colone you got on?

99
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: And then come out first, you know, hit the first

Speaker 4: You know?

285
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 3: So coming up, it was just like, you know, I

286
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: was on the east Side, so I was going to

287
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: east Side school. But my homeboy got killed, like my humeboy,

288
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: he was in sixth girl. I was in fifth grade.

289
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 3: When he went to seventh grade, he got shot. He

290
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: got shot killed at the bus stop. So my grandmother

291
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: was always like, man, she was scared, you know what

292
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: I mean, because like, you gotta get on the bus,

293
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And then when you get

294
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 3: to seventh grade, that's when you really like elementary school.

295
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: You like gang banging, but you ain't like you're not

296
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: like gang. You're like you just mimicking shit, you see,

297
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: and the environment. But seventh grade is when you really

298
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: gotta start, like you gotta pick a lag, you know

299
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: what I mean, Yeah, and try and figure out how

300
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: to like survive more so than anything. But if you

301
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: any type of real dude or a leader or something,

302
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,079

Speaker 3: already know what's happening. You know they gonna pressure. And

304
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,079

00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 3: get him up out of here, you know what I mean.

319
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 3: The crazy thing when I went in tour Crossholds, I

320
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: was like, hell, no, I ain't come here. They ain't

321
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: ain't got no basketball on court. Now, they don't got

322
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: a playground. Yo, my elementary school it's bigger than this school.

323
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: I'm going backwards, Dad, I ain't got no gin.

324
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: I was like, Yo, let me take you to the gym.

325
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: Now they take me to the gym down the sailing

326
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 3: about this big I'm like what so I was like,

327
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: oh no, I'm not going here. My Grandma's like, oh yeah,

328
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: you going here. And that's how I got the crossholds.

329
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: It was just like, yo, this kid need an opportunity

330
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: because for us, you know how, it is just like

331
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: we dream ourselves into these positions, you know what I mean,

332
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: We wish ourselves into these positions, and it's almost like

333
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: every time we do good, stay away from the bullshit.

334
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: You know, something happened, you know what I mean, And

335
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: then that's how we get to this spot, especially you know, Chicago, Dug,

336
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: East Saint Louis, you know what I mean, Come on, Doug.

337
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: It's like, how did that happen? So I just think

338
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 3: it was the grace of God and like, you know,

339
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: just the goodness of people seeing.

340
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 5: Like our people around them, like you said, grandmother, Aunties,

341
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 5: the people that's connected is not only doing for you,

342
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 5: praying for you and all of that different stuff.

343
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 6: We don't know nothing about around there, wild.

344
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: But but you but you know what's right and wrong,

345
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and so you know you

346
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: know where to you know where to take it to.

347
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: It's so many guys that's so talented that come from

348
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 3: where we come from. Right, that could be in the

349
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: same position, but it took it too far.

350
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: It was.

351
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 5: In a better position that would say, more talented, could

352
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 5: have been better than noth but like you said, it

353
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 5: didn't went too far.

354
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: When you start making the name for yourself at Crossroad

355
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: and you know you you're a big deal where you from,

356
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: with the people where you're from giving you a hard time, like,

357
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: oh man, you ain't. You ain't going to the school

358
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: that's around here in the hood, but you go over

359
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: there and you just know you know why.

360
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: Because I tried to transfer and go to the.

361
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: And then the coach tell me, Man, it was like, yo,

362
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to be the third string plaintguard.

363
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: I said, yoh, bet who these two? So I was like,

364
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: I was cool.

365
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: And then like because Crossroads was where it was, we

366
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: weren't playing against nobody, so I was short. I was

367
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: five three and ninth grade, five five and tenth grade,

368
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: five eight and eleventh grade, and that's when I kind

369
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: of like turned the corner. And then by the time

370
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: my senior year, dudes was like, yo, what's up, Doug.

371
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, it's me ful BD.

372
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: They're like, no way, because they always remember me as

373
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: like the smallest kid, and then all of a sudden,

374
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: you know, I had shoulders. I was dunking on people.

375
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: That was like, God, that can't be the same, dude.

376
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 3: I tell you a funny story. Roy Williams was in

377
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: my house recruiting me, and he recruited Paul Pierce and

378
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: I played on Paul Pierce a UTA and he was like, yeah, man,

379
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: you know when I went out there recruiting Paul and

380
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: he played on this AAU team.

381
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: And they had like all these young guards. I was like, yeah,

382
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 4: I was on that team. He was like, no, you wasn't.

383
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: I was like, yes, it was.

384
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: He was like, I was always intrigued by this little

385
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: like handicapped point guard. He was like he was small,

386
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: but he was like and I think they just put

387
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: him out there, but he was like holding in.

388
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 6: Its own give us.

389
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: I was like, nah, Dawn, that was me. I just

390
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 4: broke my ankle. I was a week out of my cast.

391
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 3: That was me out there because I was like, yo,

392
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: I gotta get recruited, you know what I mean at crossroads.

393
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 4: So then he was like, there's no way that was you.

394
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: I was like, coach, I swear to.

395
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 3: God, if you have video. If anybody got video, that

396
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: was me, you know what I mean. So it was

397
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: like I was that small. So even like Roy Williams

398
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 3: and coaches and tho, like like I was always on

399
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: the circuit.

400
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 4: I was just a little ug.

401
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 5: Far as like the whole LA did y'all got stupid

402
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 5: amount of dudes that then came up up under you

Speaker 5: Hey, they're trying to call me up, Like but like

409
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 5: for real, though you wanted the dudes, like especially a

410
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 5: city as big as La then put out as many

411
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,720

Speaker 5: I be around here.

415
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 6: I know a lot of the dudes too.

416
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 5: But so that's how I know that everybody look at

417
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 5: you like you La unified, you Julie, you really want.

418
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 6: Of the dudes. This the fabric that's in it.

419
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 5: Still always been one of the first dudes, and you

420
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 5: a gatekeeper, you know what I'm saying, like you from

421
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 5: one generation to the next, you can connect and bring

422
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 5: all different generations together. How that feel, you know what

423
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 5: I'm saying. How that type of reach and that type

424
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 5: of impact on everybody.

425
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: Man one, You know, man, thanks is a blessing, you

426
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Just humble one. And I think

427
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: at some point when we was coming up, it wasn't

428
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: a lot of la dudes in the league. It wasn't

429
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: right and it's hardly any yeah, and we was known

430
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 3: as soth and it was like, damn, Doug, No, I'm

431
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: not having that, you know what I'm saying. And it

432
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: even go back to my decision to not go to

433
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: Duke but to go to UCLA because my whole thing

434
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: is like, Yo, if I go to Duke and I

435
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: go rocking Coach K, I wound up be one of

436
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: the best basketball players I ever played a game. Already

437
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: knew that, right, come on, dude, Coach K one of

438
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: the best coaches.

439
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 4: Like that was like, ah, I need that.

440
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: But then it was also like, I'm also from the

441
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: East Side, and so it's hard to like leave knowing

442
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: that it's so much at State, you know what I mean,

443
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: you know, just going back to your point. It's like

444
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: I need to put on These young dudes is coming up.

445
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: They need to know that it's cool to stay home.

446
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: That's why I chose chose to stay at UCLA because

447
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: I was like, Yo, it's a wave of point guards.

448
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: If I go to Duke and I go do this thing,

449
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 4: like I ain't gonna even be.

450
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 3: Tapped in, Like I need to be tapped in. And

451
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 3: then it was just like it wasn't no dudes in

452
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: the NBA. So I was like, yo, I gotta stay here.

453
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: I gotta make a way. So when I got to

454
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: the league, all my little homies was in college.

455
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: So I rock with him.

456
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 3: Took them on a private plant New York, hooping a rucker,

457
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: take them on a private plane, We go to commercial shoots.

458
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: I needed them to see what the lifestyle was. Go

459
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: work out with Harden and all them dudes when they

460
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: was in high school.

461
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

462
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: They needed to play against me because Magic did that

463
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 3: for me, and Nick Dunnexell, who Richardson, all those dudes,

464
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: Derek Martin, all those dudes did that for me, and

465
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 3: U see La, So I wanted to do it for La,

466
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: you know.

467
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 6: And then at one.

468
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: And then at the highest point of my career, I

469
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 3: think when I had like all the light, that's when

470
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, I need to create something that

471
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,000

Speaker 4: I don't remember.

613
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: It was Vancouver had the number two PICKA and Vancouver

614
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 3: was gonna trade the number two pick, but Steve Francis

615
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 3: was gonna be the number two pick. I was trying

616
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: to get to number two, so the Lakers would trade

617
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 3: at two. That was like the only scenario. But I

618
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: think Vancouver was like answer for too much and whatnot.

619
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,959

00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 3: And then y'all didn't really have, you know, outside of

753
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: l O and y'all like making play, y'all didn't really

754
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,360

755
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: settle y'all, y'all.

756
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: Let me say, but it was progress because before we

00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: got there, La Clippers won seventeen games out of eighty

758
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: two before we got there. When we got there, we

759
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: got five dudes. There's not even twenty one and older.

760
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: We can't even buy a liquor nothing like that, were

761
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: playing all the minutes. We went thirty one games in

762
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: the grown man y'all saying. Then the next year we

763
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: went thirty nine. We two games out the playoffs. So

764
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 2: the progress with the came and we had money. That

765
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: was about you get big time players. They wouldn't get

766
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 2: no big time player. They had money to go in,

767
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 2: get a Tracy McGrady or anybody to come play with us.

768
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 4: They'd be like, and everybody wanted to play with y'all.

769
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,200

868
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just one of my favorites too.

869
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 2: Right now, the top five point guards in the league

870
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: right now, who would be your top five.

871
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: It's so hard.

872
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: I don't think so. But it's Harden to point guard.

873
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: It's Harden to point guard. So I can't put Westbrook

874
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: point guard. Absolutely Westbrook, that's my favorite player. Uh, Steph Curry,

875
00:38:51,200 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 3: Kyrie Facts, Kimba Walker Facts, Yankes, Kimblwalker, home Boy, and

876
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,200

00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 4: The strip, I know I'm missing Dame. Yeah, Okay, that's it.

882
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: That's all.

883
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 4: Number six.

884
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: So people said, John Wall, before you get hurt.

885
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you brought up you brought up Harden. What

886
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 6: you think of what he this?

887
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: This foolish I was on another podcast and they was

888
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: asking me. I think it was on the radio. It

889
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 3: was like, yo, could you guard Hardening his prime?

890
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 4: In your prime? And I was like, hell, yeah, because

891
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 4: that's what we say. You feel what I'm saying. But like, Yo,

892
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: that kid got some ship. Boy.

893
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: I think he can play it in the air, and

894
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: I think he could score it an the air clearly.

895
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 3: I remember when he was in high school and I

896
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 3: went back and I was playing pick up and we

897
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 3: was playing at Westchester that night.

898
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 4: Yo, this kid was like yo, I got him.

899
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 3: I was like, man, who are you? Yeah, this dude

900
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 3: was locking me up. I'm not bullshiting. Doug dud was

901
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 3: playing like great defense. I couldn't Yeah, I couldn't make

902
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: a shot. Now, I couldn't make a shot. I was like, Yo,

903
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: every time we come to the gym and I hooped up,

904
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 3: I want you to guard me every time we're gonna

905
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 3: go at it.

906
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 4: I was like, Yo, this kid is gonna be special.

907
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 3: Yo. I think now that people see how much he scored,

908
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 3: Like you got to think about how he came into

909
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 3: the league. He was kind of like the glue guy

910
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 3: for Okay See. So he was and that was yeah,

911
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: and that was hard to replace it.

912
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 4: You know.

913
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 3: They in Okay See had some good dudes come after him,

914
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 3: like the Reggie Jackson's and dudes like that, but it

915
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: was like they couldn't replace the fact that the dude

916
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: was a good basketball player and he kind of played

917
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 3: defense there.

918
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 4: He wasn't you know what I mean, He didn't a

919
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 4: lot to do.

920
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: He came out of college leading college and scoring, So

921
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: you know he was a definitely a score. It's just

922
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 2: that when he got to okay, see he had to

923
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: play a role. Man Houston kind of open that Ben

Speaker 2: We came out, We got the opportunity to do movies,

00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 2: We got the opportunity to do TV shows, We got

1001
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: the opportunity to do commercials, all that stuff. And now

1002
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 2: since you out the league, you dibbling and dabbling in

1003
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: the entertainment industry. I just wanted you to just touch

1004
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 2: the light on the stuff that you got, just like

1005
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 2: not really just going on, but just how you being

1006
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: so creative in your mind, how you coming up with

1007
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 2: all this stuff and just showing how like outside of basketball,

1008
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 2: like you turned into this whole I, bro, you know.

1009
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 3: I think it was one I wanted to do it.

1010
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: You know, I take directing classes, acting classes, every class

1011
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: I could take. When I was in New York, I

1012
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 3: took advantage of it. When I'm here, I take advantage

1013
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 3: of it. And you know I always wanted to make movies, right,

1014
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: I always wanted to tell stories. I think you know,

1015
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 3: it just kind of dawned on me when I was

1016
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: like doing my research, like Ernie Barnes, like when I

1017
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 3: was coming up, like he was a hero on mine

1018
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: because he stepped away. He was like, Yo, my greatest

1019
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 3: thing is like my art. I can paint these dudes

1020
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 3: better than I can play. And when you look at

1021
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 3: his art, his heart transcend time. So for me it

1022
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: was like, I'm gonna be as great as I possibly can.

1023
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 3: I'm probably not gonna be Magic Johnson. But at the

1024
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: same time, like everybody got a story, and so I'm

1025
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 3: looking at the story right and I'm appreciating the story

1026
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: as an NFOs and I just think for me, it's

1027
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 3: just like being able to say, like, yo, we're great storytellers, right,

1028
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 3: we have a great repertoire of film and shit like

1029
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 3: that because we spend time sharing ideas, sharing movies, sharing books.

1030
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 3: So you know, that's why I wanted to get into film,

1031
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 3: because I felt like, you know, that could be like

1032
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 3: an even greater voice for me and something to show

1033
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 3: other athletes that you can follow these steps so you

1034
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: can take the steps you want to be able to

1035
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: at least tell your.

1036
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 4: Story or a story that makes sense. To you. So

1037
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 4: I got to show what the fuck WTFBD tune in

1038
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 4: you feel.

1039
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 6: Me like like like how did you come up with that?

1040
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 5: Like just doing that on your own and then taking

1041
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 5: it around and shop know that you you know, understand

1042
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 5: that you developed with somebody.

1043
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 6: Was it your own idea?

1044
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 5: Was it?

1045
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 4: Like?

1046
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was sitting Yeah, I was sitting on it

1047
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 3: for a long time, and it was like kept being

1048
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: like different iterations of it, and like people passed on it,

1049
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 3: or like you get close and you're like, damn, it's

1050
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 3: about to go and it's just like, you know, people's like, yo,

1051
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 3: that's a good idea, but nobody really wanted to take

1052
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 3: the chance. And full Screen stepped up. They took the chance,

1053
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 3: and then I was like yo, like all right, we're

1054
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: gonna freak it, you know. And we only had like

1055
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: thirteen minutes to play with it, so it had to

1056
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 3: be tight, you know. But I was just like out

1057
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 3: there like, yo, I know I can do this.

1058
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 4: You know.

1059
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: I watched Curby Enthusiasm, like my life is funny. I

1060
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 3: want to make something that athletes can relate to, hood

1061
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 3: dudes can relate to, and just like the normal person

1062
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 3: that's like, you know, going through something that got something.

1063
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 3: And so that's when I was like, I need to

1064
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 3: create something for myself instead of for other people. And

1065
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: so now I'm just starting to like really get into
