56
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: was thinking I was like, the fans are fucking they

57
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: have to be smart. My you know what, My wife

58
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: actually said that she goes, you know, your fans have

59
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: to be smart because the way that we talk our

60
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: ship like this isn't this isn't we don't we don't

61
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: spoon feed like like yo. This is just an audio medium.

62
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: Podcast is just an audio medium. So the way people

63
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: could sort of digest it, they go with us. We

64
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: take stands on things we talk our ship. The fans

65
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: have to be forward thinking, smart motherfucker's. We have to

66
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: have dope, smart fucking people that listen to the Iron

67
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Wrappers stereo pockets. Because I'm gonna be quite honest, I'm

68
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: dope and smart. Okay, birds of a feather flock together.

69
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Jane Moody's dope and smart. He's the three time podcast

Speaker 1: We're all smart. We're not playing games here. We are

74
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: not playing games here. So Moody, I went to take

75
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: my dog Wheezy out for ship. Did you clean it up? Well,

76
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: that's not part of this story. But earlier today I

77
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: had a woman chased me down a block because the

78
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: dog shot in a public park, a public street, not

79
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: in front of her launch. She chased me down the

80
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: block to have me pick up the ship. Um. I

81
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: didn't see him doing it. I' but I've done a

82
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: lot better in my new neighborhood. I'm trying to ingratiate

83
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: myself with the neighbors. But that's not what I was

84
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: talking about. And by the way, I am Wrap reports.

85
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: Stereo podcast ship bags are coming to a pet store

86

00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: this for years. We're coming out with Iron Rapports stereo

88
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,320

93
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: had got like a piece of his ship, and I

94
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: don't like a lot of ship talk um stuck in

95
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: his ass. I had to essentially wipe his ass. Um.

96
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: It confused him and baffled him, and it did the

97
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: same for me. That's not what I'm here to talk about, Moody.

98
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Let's just jump into this, Okay, alright, we we we

99
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: said earlier. We have the Nate the Great on the

100
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Iron Rapports Stereo podcast. Former New York nick three times

101
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: slam dunk champion from Seattle, super athlete, super athlete, super

102
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: athlete Nate Robinson is rocking with us later on in

103
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: the Iron rapp Reports Stereo podcast. Great interview, great dude,

104
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: funny dude, um, and I'm glad he came through. So

105
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: probably about forty eight hours ago, seventy two hours ago,

106
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. The crossover heard round the world. Yeah,

107
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: James Harden, whether you're a basketball fan or not, you

108
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: probably saw this move. He he made a simple move,

109
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: sort of pushed off the guy who was guarding, and

110
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Wesley Johnson got tangled up and fell. For some reason,

111
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: it looked like everything sort of stopped for a minute,

112
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: like no one moved when it happened. James Harden stepped back.

113
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: Before he stepped back to shoot the three, he looked

114
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: at Wesley Johnson and it was just a weird play

115
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: and essentially he crossed over this guy. He fell, and

116
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: the world has not been the same since. Yeah, ah, man,

117
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: that's no big play. That's no big deal. Like, man,

118
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: that was nothing compared to all the other plays that

119
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: we've seen over the years. That was nothing. And the

120
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: fact that it's been dissected and discussed so much since

121
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: it's happened. And I funk with James Harden. I love him.

122
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: This isn't even about James Harden. This is just about

123
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: how basketball coverage and sports coverage we we coined the

124
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: phrase the skinny genification. Who gives a fuck that he

125
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: crossed him over and he fell, big fucking deal, oh ah,

126
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: and then move on with your fucking life. It's one

127
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: play of a game. You don't get extra points for

128
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: any of it. And I really think that this becoming

129
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: national sports news when there's so many other things to

130
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: talk about. Talk about fucking Andre rum and Venus a

131
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: damn beast up there in Detroit. I mean, there's forget

132
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: even Andre Drummond because he's an All Star. The fact

133
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: that they're putting so much emphasis on a guy getting

134
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: crossed over and falling an NBA guy is embarrassing to

135
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: the NBA. If you're playing any level of competitive basketball,

136
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna get crossed over. You're gonna get dunked on.

137
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: If you're playing football, I don't care if you're Odell Beckham,

138
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers. You're gonna get

139
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: fucking cracked every now and then. Yeah, that's part of

140
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: the deal. Like shaming a guy for two days straight

141
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: because he fell when a guy made a move, Like,

142
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: what is the precedent that this sets for kids? Like

143
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: kids all ready to want to play defense, Like, no

144
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: one's gonna ever want to play defense in any level

145
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: of basketball ever again, out of fear of being shamed

146
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: and ridicule for the rest of your fucking life. I

147
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: just think it's such a big deal over nothing. It's yeah,

148
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: it's a new level of shaming, ankle shaming. Now they

149
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: got fat shame, slut shaming, ankles shamy. This is basketball,

150
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: And if you're playing basketball, you're playing any type of defense,

151
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: you may get crossed over. That's all right, that's part

152
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: of the game, man, that's all right. And I saw

153
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: it on the jump. I saw it on Uh what's

154
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: that nick? Right? Those shows Fox? Oh, they just kept

155
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: running it on the loop, you know, so what so

156
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: what let's see if this motherfucker could get out of

157
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: the fucking second round exactly exactly, and it's like, you know,

158
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: even in the park, it wouldn't be that big of

159
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: a deal. Like you know, what happens, you might not

160
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: be able to cross the guy and make it for

161
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: you get the ball, you go back at him. That's

162
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: how we grew up playing ball. Crazy man, this big

163
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: gass deal, big crazy, big deal. I'm saying, I want

164
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: to see how he does in the fucking playoffs. He

165
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,359
Speaker 1: got Chris Paul. Now, let's see, that's that's more important exactly,

166
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: not him shaking a guy. He's supposed to do that.

167
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: He's nice. Like, let's see if he and his guy

168
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: could get to the fucking Western Conference finals. Can you

169
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: beat Golden State? Because if you can't beat them, that's

170
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: all you're gonna have is that fucking one play And

171
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: Chris Paul doesn't want to get in it because we

172
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: all know what Steph Curry did to him a few

173
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: years ago, and that was the internet wasn't even as

174
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: crazy as it is now. They should play that again.

175
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: How he dribbled his ass into the court, into the floor.

176
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: That was worthy that that's worthy of of praise all

177
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: his ankle shaming. Great phrase just coined by the great G. Moody,

178
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: which is why I come in hot talking ship. And

179
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: on the last night in Rapports Stereo podcast with Young

180
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: m A and I wanted to compliment us on the

181
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: Young m A podcast because I was thinking about this.

182
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: I was listening to it and I rarely listen to

183
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: myself the sound of my own voice. Um Um, it

184
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: distresses me. Um. With all this, all these positive things

185
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: happen with the women's movement and me too and the

186
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: Women's March, I was thinking about what besides her her wrapping,

187
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: that I really like about Young m A. The last

188
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: I am rap Pors Stereo Pockets, and the thing that

189
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: I really love about her and why I think she's

190
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: so special is because she's not preaching like the way

191
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: she is her sexuality, how she comes up. She's just

192
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: out here being and leading by example. And you know,

193
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: she told her story, she talked about it on the Pockets,

194
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: you could listen to it. But coming up in the

195
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: hood in Brooklyn, the way she came up and like

196
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: to be so comfortable and articulate with who you are

197
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: as a young a young woman. I fucking loved that girl.

198
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: I think she's so fucking dope and I'm so proud

199
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: that of that. I am rapors stereo pockets. She's fucking dope. Yeah.

200
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: When when when a person is, uh, it's okay with

201
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: who they are, it comes out like, you know, it's

202
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: a confidence and uh, she's she's um at peace that

203
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: with who she is, and you gotta love that, you

204
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: got you gotta respect that, like she's not high and

205
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: it's like, Yo, this is who I am and people

206
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: accept that. That's what it's about. And and you know,

207
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: some people were like, why do you call her an icon?

208
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, she's a She's an icon. Well, what

209
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: she's gonna continue to do musically is gonna be the

210
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: second thing they mentioned in her as an icon in

211
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen. Because with all these people, uh,

212
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with their sexuality and dealing with who

213
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: they are and dealing you know, coming to terms with

214
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: this and coming to terms of that, for somebody to

215
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: be so open and just so comfortable with it, it

216
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: order it automatically makes her an icon. She's not one

217
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: of these people that's hob nobbing around with Oprah and

218
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: gets invited to all these fancy Hollywood me too movements

219
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: and all these fancies fancy Hollywood you know, women's marches.

220
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: But she's such an example to young women, young girl, right, uh,

221
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: just by being who she is. And that's why I

222
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: really funk with Young m A, like, aside the fact

223
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: that I just love the way she rhymes. So I'm

224
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: proud of that episode. B K. So I was talking

225
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: about how great we are as a podcast. That's right,

226
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: everybody knows that. I was talking about us being the

227
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: big swinging dick of podcasting. And and the other day

228
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: on the Young m A episode, I was talking about

229
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: Lebron James tooting his own horn. He had his thirty

230
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: thousand points, his eight thousand rebounds is eight thousands of sins.

231
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: He's the only player to ever do that. And the

232
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: entire sports world was talking about that, as they should,

233
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: But so was Lebron James. Hey, that's a that's a feat, man,

234
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: that's yo. That's that's him alone. There's no, it's not

235
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: magic with him, it's not Jordan's that's him in that

236
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: category alone. This is a feat. This guy didn't go

237
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: to fucking college who taught him how to play the

238
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: game like this. This is a like the coach, his coach,

239
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: his high school coach did a did a fantastic job

240
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: man on this dude, man, because it ain't no coaching.

241
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: It's not like he went to coach k all that.

242
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: This is high school. And look and look he's in

243
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: the league, dominating the league since he came in, and

244
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: he's all alone in that category. And he's gonna pass Magic,

245
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna pass Kareem. Kareem will be passed. Incidentally, this

246
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: guy is one of a kind, and I appreciate what

247
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm seeing. All that suckers ship y'all saying about this

248
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: and that that ship don't matter if you like if

249
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: you like basketball and you like a guy who's a

250
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: jack of all trades who can do everything. Yo, you

251
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: gotta give this man the utmost props, you know, the utmost.

252
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: Totally agree with you. But but that other stuff that

253
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: you threw in there, that little that little hot sauce,

254
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: the little sprinkles and the hot fudge, that that matters.

255
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: But let let let's not go down that rabbit hole.

256
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: Oh but the point that I was making is somebody

257
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: was saying, well, you always talk about how you're the best.

258
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: Why can't Lebron do it? And my response is because

259
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: because he's fucking Lebron James. Okay, he's fucking Lebron James.

260
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Where the fucking Jake Lamoto podcasting? Okay, it's a different thing,

261
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: but but I get what you're saying. It was somebody.

00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,080

313
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: be the last word you hear from me. Possibly I

314
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: could change specifically about the guy over at barstool who

315
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: bleaches his ass he calls himself l president thing. I

324
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,440

358
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,480

359
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: all sort of colitis and a bronchial situation. Let's get

360
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,080

361
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: ship to somebody's who I couldn't beat their ass. That's

362
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I would not talk ship like I

363
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: know better because I know I'm not a tough guy.

364
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: But you're talking shit like you feel comfortable. Well, let's

365
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: get it popping. That's it. You ain't gonna say no more.

366
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: That's it, Miles. Let me get something funky. I'll come

367
00:22:49,040 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: right back to this. Me and g Moody, all right,

368
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: we're back. You hear that, funk Smoodie. What do you

369
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: think about this? Jalen Rose, who I love, who I know,

370
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: I respect the shift at him, good dude, smart graded

371
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: his job, button pusher, loves hip hop. Fun with Jalen.

372
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: He's trying to initiate a boycott. He's trying to initiate

373
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: the players who were playing in the n c a

374
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: A tournament to boycott the tournament, not play. Yeah, I agree,

375
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: I think they should do it at the final four. Yo,

376
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: you think about this. The players have the leverage, They

377
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: have all the leverage. They just don't realize it. If

378
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: they say, you know, we're not going We're not coming

379
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: out of the fucking locker room. You go play. Since

380
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: you're making five million dollars a year, you fucking play.

381
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: You and the other coach run up and down. We're

382
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna stay here and let's see what happens. Guarantee you

383
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: the point of this is too immediately or make change.

384
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: It won't drag on like the players at the Final

385
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: four say, Yo, we're not coming out of the the locker room.

386
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Drag him out there that

387
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: that will force change. And this is why Jalen Rose

388
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: and Jay Williams are proposing that, And I hope the

389
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: players do that. Fuck that ship, man, These guys making

390
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: you know how much uh they paid for the rights

391
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: to broadcast that ship like eight billion dollars man, And

392
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: and those guys don't get a cent. And then if

393
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: they take money Uh, it's some type of problem. Yo.

394
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: This is a crime. That's a crime. Fuck that now,

395
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you. I just think that

396
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: I don't think it's realistic that it's gonna happen, and

397
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's easier said than done, of course,

398
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: But what are they gonna lose? What would the players lose?

399
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: You're not getting no money. It's not like Motherucker's gonna

400
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: sa oh now. But but you're not now, You're not

401
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna now. You're not gonna play, yo. Well, the players

402
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: that are gonna go into the NBA and possibly play overseas,

403
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: they're not gonna lose anything. But as we all know,

404
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: the majority of these guys know their fate and basketball,

405
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: so they they lose, uh, you know all the hard

406
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: work and ship they didn't come some of the majority

407
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: of them didn't come there to make money. To the majority, like, yo,

408
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the last time I'm playing ball.

409
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 1: I love the ride. I had no problem with it.

410
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm not I totally agree that this this whole thing

411
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: is fucked up. But like it's like Jay, it's easy

412
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: for Jalen to say that as a grown man, but

413
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: when he was in it. There's no way he wouldn't

414
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: never not came out to play U N l V,

415
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: not came out to play Duke. During those big games,

416
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: they would have been like, Yeah, we're going out there

417
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: and busting these dudes as especially that fucking that Fab

418
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: five team, like they were going out there to play

419
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: ball no matter what, because they loved it. Now, when

420
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: you get older and you get perspective like Jalen has now,

421
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: it's different. But but for him to say, you know,

422
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: give up on that dream, give up on that feeling

423
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: of busting these dudes, ask that we we practiced for,

424
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: that we played a AU four, that we did all

425
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: the hard work for. I just think it's a lot

426
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: to ask of a kid, and and these are really

427
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: their children. But they're saying, also, this is for the

428
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: greater good of the people coming behind you, Like this

429
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: cannot continue. I get that, But it's like, why you

430
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: didn't do it then? Like you telling me to do

431
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: it now? I'm nineteen. What Jason Williams smart, Jalen smart,

432
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: you knew this is going on then? I don't know.

433
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, no one, I don't know. No one was

434
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: really saying it like that back when it was coming up.

435
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: It was just you know, march madness. Now people are

436
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: really saying because the money is rising and and then

437
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: the kids get nothing, man, And it's like they sell

438
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: their jerseys, their faces on on these video games and

439
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: they don't get a cent, and the coaches making six

440
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: mill and and and and you know these kids are

441
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: from uh, disadvant backgrounds and they can't get money and

442
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: they're the draw and they don't yo, Yo, they should

443
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: fucking do it like take like do some Kurt Floodship

444
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: have some balls and say, yo, we're not going out.

00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: Fuck it. You play Calipari, you fucking play. What else

00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: is going on? Moody? They did this happened again? What up?

447
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: I hate to say it. There was a woman um

507
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: field of animals. Oh man. Um. Again, this came up.

508
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: Last time we talked about it was Damar de rosen Um.

509
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: He's speaking out about depression and now Kevin Durant also

510
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: spoke out about encouraging the NBA to to to start

511
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: taking mental health awareness and mental health situations amongst the

512
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: players more seriously, which brings us back again to Royce White,

513
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: who is the former number one first round draft pick

514
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: of the Houston Rockets, and he wouldn't shut up about

515
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: mental illness and no one listened. He had a lot

516
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: to say about mental illness, no one listened, and you know,

517
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: he was sort of black balled out of the league.

518
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: And this is just about five or six years ago.

519
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: And it's sad that this kid's you know, life and

520
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: future got derailed by speaking out out about something that

521
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: he was suffering from. And he's sort of like the

522
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: sacrificial lamb. And it's great that k D and DeMar

523
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: De Rosen and the NBA Players Association are speaking on it,

524
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: but Royce White and everything he had to say, And

525
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: Royce White as a person, he needs to be heard

526
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: and looked at now because he was the one that

527
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: set this off and he was the fall guy. Talk

528
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: about standing up for something and taking the fall. He

529
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: took the fucking fall. And if you haven't heard him

530
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: on the Iron Wrap Ports Stereo Pockets, you could hear

531
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: his whole story. And I'm not trying to plug it.

532
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm just proud that we talked to him because he

533
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: kept it real and it's a struggle and and something

534
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: that he still deals with and the ramifications of him

535
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: speaking up when he got drafted, got him kicked out

536
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: of the NBA. So shout out to Royce White and

537
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: you could check out that pot and shout out to

538
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Demartin Rosen and Kevin Durant, two stars of the NBA

539
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: that are taking the stigma off mental health in professional mask. Yeah,

540
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: that's a good thing, man. That takes a lot of

541
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: courage to come out and say that, you know, like

542
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: speak about depression. That's that's a good thing. Kudo man,

704
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,920

705
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 1: you're five nine to play in the NBA, you don't

706
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: look at the world the same way the world looks

707
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: at things. Let alone look say you like your whole

710
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: not looking at the world the way the world looks

711
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: at you. I mean, for me, it was just uh,

712
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I just love. I would say,

713
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: just the competition man like to be a little guy,

714
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: knowing that if I was anywhere between six ft six

715
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: a six nine seven ft, I know the person in

716
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: the game and who I am inside the fire that

717
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: I play with, I'll be one of the best players

718
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: to ever play the game. They would label me that.

719
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: But now being at five nine, they try to make oh,

720
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: he can't play defense, Oh he can't do this, or

721
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: he can't do that, when I have done everything anybody has,

722
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: you know, six ft six six have done. I have

723
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: almost twelve points a game over eleven and a half

724
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: year career in the NBA, and yet not one coach

725
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 1: let me be me. So just think if a coach

726
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: let me play, let me be myself what I could

727
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: have done. Why why do you think they didn't let

728
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: you be you? Because it would always like seem like eventually,

729
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: you know what in your career is so long, so

730
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: I can't say always, but a lot of times they

731
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: could be like Nate Robinson's in the doghouse, uh, you know,

732
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: like even with it Nicks, like they're not letting they play.

733
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: And I remember you working out before the games, like

734
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, like running around the guard, and so I'm like,

735
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: what was it? Like I always think like Nate Robinsons.

00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: in that and then break down like the coaches like

757
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, like so my past, my partner as in me,

758
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: like let like letting me be me, like letting me

759
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,479
Speaker 1: play the game the way I love to play the game.

760
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna play it the right way. I'm gonna

761
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: do what I'm supposed to do. But all the other

762
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: things that they want to add into into it, Oh, yeah,

763
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: he plays too much going on the plane, or he

764
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: plays too much in the locker room, or he's just

765
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: and this they he's never serious. No, it's not that

766
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm serious. I'm not never serious. I'm just enjoying my energy,

767
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: my the world that I'm in. I'm not mad every

768
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: time we lose one game and you're sitting there in

769
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: your pity like they used to really take that serious.

770
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: And I'm like I understand that, but we have another

771
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: game tomorrow, So how so how do we get past

772
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 1: dealing with the loss or whatever? Like all right, cool,

773
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: let's let's figure it out and then let's move forward.

774
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: Like I literally just enjoyed my time no matter how

775
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: they were looking at it, I enjoyed my whole experience.

776
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: NBA wins, losses, everything and I approached the game just

777
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: like that. Every day, every day I'm out there busting

778
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: my ass, working hard, you know, on time everything I do,

779
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: coming in, getting shots up, staying late, you know what

780
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, going to another gym that they don't see

781
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 1: me doing, working on my game, wrtching film, you know, saying,

782
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: being a student of the game. They can't say I

783
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: didn't not do any up those things, because I did, right,

784
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So they just what they did.

785
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: They were like, man, we can't keep doing this to him,

786
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: like holding them back. And then every time we put

787
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: him in, he's always done, He's always done well. The

788
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: fans love him, Like how can we do that? By exile?

789
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They just totally like, all right, cool,

790
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have you in the back and you

791
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: just can't play no more. And when you look back,

792
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: because like when you came to the league, how old

793
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: were you? Twenty years old? Twenty years old, So when

794
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,959
Speaker 1: you look back at that time, like you know, because

795
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: when you you were like a splash, especially New York,

796
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean New York, we loved you. Oh everywhere you were,

797
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: You're always gonna get love Nicks was a whole different thing, man,

798
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: because as a kid, I always dreamed of playing in

799
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: New York City because watching movies. I'm a movie guy,

800
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, so watching movies, that's all you saw was

801
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: New York City, New York City. So as a kid,

802
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, like, that's got to be like the

803
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 1: coolest place on earth to be. So I remember, I remember,

804
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: I remember this prayer. Man. I was like when I

805
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: was coming up in the draft and I was like, uh,

806
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: when I played, us said and it would be just

807
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: a dream to play for the Knicks, man, and like

808
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: to be in New York. And I said that to

809
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: myself and I prayed to God. I was like, man,

810
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: that would be so dope, like you know, a man type,

811
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: you know. And it happened, and I was like, yo,

812
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: like that's crazy. Like I got drafted by Phoenix, traded

813
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: to the Knicks, and out in New York City, you know,

814
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: with a teammate of mind that I played high school with,

815
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: Jamal Crawford. Uh, it was just like it was just

816
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: a perfect, perfect script, like for a movie. It was

817
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: just perfect and for the fans, you know, like and

818
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: again it's like now basketball players in particular football to

819
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: any professional athletes, all of us really, but NBA players

820
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: are in seven reality show. Every comment you make pre

821
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: game like post game, Uh, you know what you say

822
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: on the court, Like I mean the the artist ship

823
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: talking has gone in the NBA, like it it's changed

824
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: so much even since when you came in league, with

825
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: the social media of it all. But like for the

826
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: Nick like as a Knicks fan, like we love Nate Robinson,

827
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: Nick Romsey out there busting people's ass, blocking shots Duncan

828
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: and like who was the first coach? Was at Dan Antoni? No,

829
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: my first coach, uh, Larry Brown, Then it was Isaiah Thomas,

830
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: then it was D'Antoni. As a Knicks fan, when you

831
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: just said that, aren't that was a time as a

832
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: Knicks fan, it was. It was tough for me, Like

833
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: you said, even thing those tough times, I still I

834
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: enjoyed that, Like I enjoyed the struggle by dealing with

835
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: that the losses, and like man I can help with

836
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 1: that by letting us play more, letting the young guys

837
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: play more, like myself, like I feel like I could

838
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: have been a difference maker with with the younger group

839
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: coming in, if they would have just worked with us

840
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: and stood by us and understand that we're gonna get

841
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: better with time. It's just about patience. And it could

842
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: have been a perfect team. You gotta imagine they drafted

843
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: they drafted me Channing Fry, They had Wilson Chandler who's

844
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: still in the NBA bawling, David Lee that had a

845
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: great career NBA champion, Like, how do you like, how

846
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: do you let that go? Danilo Gallinari, Like we had

847
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: the squad that to build a solid team with look

848
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: and with role players. Though, like I consider us being good,

849
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: but we were good, great role players that we can

850
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: blossom into superstars one day. Who knows what's from with

851
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: the Knicks. Let me just put that way, like the

852
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: Knicks organization, why can't we like every you know, what's sad?

853
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: Like the other day they traded this one, they traded

854
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: that one. Everybody trading Lebron's come in l A. This

855
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: one's in Oklahoma City, Houston, and Nick's obviously porzingis being

856
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: hurt as bad. But it's like no one's mentioned in

857
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: New York. It's New York City. What happened to New

858
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: York being like the place where like it's like off

859
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: the people rather go to Okay. See obviously Russell Westbrook

860
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: is enticing. I mean, you got like they just have

861
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: to get the type of caliber player that is like

862
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: a New Yorker is like the people. It's like how

863
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: you guys, rock y'all need people like yourselves. That's what

864
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: the star to Like. Camper's not gonna do it, But

865
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm just saying in general, you guys need somebody that

866
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: fits your city's persona of what New York City is.

867
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 1: You know, ragged, rugget people, you know, not you know,

868
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: not taking ship from nobody. Everything's moving fast, but it's

869
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: like control chaos type. You know what I'm saying. We

870
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: need we like the best, we want the best. We

871
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: want it now, Like y'all need one of those types

872
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: of players, and then around here you need you need

873
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: good solid people to keep him strong. That person just

874
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: like that, a player just like that. What do you

875
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: think of the Isaiah Thomas trade? Like Isaiah obviously, I

876
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: mean I love it. I mean for me speaking like

877
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: if I'm Isaiah, I would love that to be able

878
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: to go somewhere that you said, I want to be

879
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: somewhere where I'm wanted like that's all we want as

880
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: in being a player. So like how Isaiah's going through

881
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: the same kind of the similar things that I went through,

882
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: going from different team and teams training you when you

883
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: don't want to leave, Like I never wanted to leave

884
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: New York City. That was like the ultimate, my dad was.

885
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: It was one of the best organizations ever, Like most

886
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: historic team in the history of basketball. Like it's this,

887
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: it's you guys, it's the Lakers, and it's thes the Celtics,

888
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: and then you have to say Detroit. But just all

889
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: those things, just all that basketball in one like that's

890
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: that's what New York is. And who who want to leave?

891
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,479
Speaker 1: I don't get why anybody want to leave right when losing,

892
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: Like New York has got to be the place to be.

893
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: It's like it's the one of the best places on earth,

894
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: sosolutely so so with Isaiah, I mean last year he

895
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: was the bell of the fucking ball, right he's you know,

896
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: should be m v P. You know, considered mc finished

897
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: fourth thing. He you know obviously went through the terrible

898
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: situation with his sister. He bawled out all season. You know,

899
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: the trade with Kyrie. We know what happened. He's dealing

900
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: with the hip injury. What is your take on how

901
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: it went so bad so quick in Cleveland because no

902
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: one thought it. I thought it was like, Yo, this

903
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: is this is gonna be once he gets told you

904
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: this is gonna be. I just believe that it was

905
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: out of Isaiah's control. That was all gonna happen regardless.

906
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: Really yeah, I believe that, like it happened to give

907
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: me something. You know, these fucking guys, what the funk happened? Honestly,

908
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: like but like something like like I think they discriminating

909
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: short guys. No, I think I think Uh. I think

910
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: KG said it best on his show Man on an

911
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: Area on an Area of twenty one man. He said, uh,

912
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: you know everybody wants the super teams and but you

913
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: don't know how personalities met mesh. You know what I'm saying.

914
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: It's like it's like mixing mixing water and oil. Like

915
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: it's just like getting married. It's not. I mean, you

916
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: can't say that to get jumping into a relationship. And

917
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: you have to be all in to be able to

918
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it's like when you

919
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: want to be the player that you are and that

920
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: team doesn't need you to do that. That's tough on

921
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: you who you are, like like damn, Like I just

922
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: want to be me. I don't want to be I

923
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: need you to just do this. I don't. I don't

924
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: want to be that player. That's hard to deal with.

925
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: That's hard to do with as an athlete, as a

926
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: as a as a player, and what you put into

927
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: the game, because it's taken away from your natural instincts, facts,

928
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: and it's making you. Now, it's making you be something

929
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: that you're naturally just going to react off. Now you've

930
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: got a question like all right, am I doing the

931
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: right thing for the team? Where am I doing? Like

932
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: that's messing with your game. Now you're not being the

933
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: person and the player that you need to be to

934
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: help this team really win. And they think you need

935
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: to do less to help us win. Less is more

936
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: so they did what they did while I traded him

937
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 1: to a great place. If they Lakers, let him do that,

938
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: Let him be Isaiah Thomas, let Alonzo ball be who

939
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: he is and pass the ball whatever he's gonna do.

940
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: But just let zeke b zeke and you guys will

941
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 1: get magic. But if you don't, then you're gonna still

942
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: get the player that they're trying to say he was.

943
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: What he's still averaging was seventeen would have messed up hit.

944
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: What is your prediction on based on everything you know

945
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: and you understand this league. You've been through the highs

946
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: of it, the tumultuous of it, the scent this way send,

947
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: what is your take on what will happen with Isaiah

948
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: in l A. Knowing the Linzo ball of it all,

949
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,800
Speaker 1: the fucking LaVar ball of roll, which is crazy that

950
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: you even have to factor in the LaVar ball into

951
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: a professional basketball team, and and knowing that there, you know,

952
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: there's these rumors of Paul George wanting to come and

953
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: Lebron wanted to come, like in six months. What can

954
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: I say? Well, Nate Robertson told me so. I mean

955
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: not really so I told you so. I just I

956
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: would me going in if I'm Zeke, I'm just gonna

957
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: go there and play how I'm supposed to play. And

958
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: then however the cards lay after that to figure out

959
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: a deal if something that happened. If not, then you know,

960
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: thank you for your opportunity, you know, for the opportunity

961
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: to play onto the next and if nobody wants me,

962
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,959
Speaker 1: then we have to start figuring out the next move

963
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: because at that point all these rumors don't mean nothing.

964
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: The Knicks did that when they thought Lebron was gonna

965
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: lead the first time when he was in Cleveland and

966
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: he went to Miami. They traded the whole nixt team

967
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: while I was in there, traded when then they let

968
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: Gelo go, they let everybody go and traded blah blah blah,

969
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: trying to get you know, different people, and it was

970
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: just it sucked, you know, and it didn't happen. I

971
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: don't want that to happen, you know, especially to my

972
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: guy Isaiah, you know, from Washing from Washington while I'm

973
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: from uh, you know, went to you dub and everything.

974
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: So you know, I just like I just want I

975
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: just want them to treat him, you know, better than

976
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: they like how they did me when I was in

977
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: the league. Like it's sad to watch it go all,

978
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: you know, history repeat itself once again. What is it

979
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: about Seattle? Uh? What is in the water up there?

980
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: You got Isaiah Thomas, This Isaiah Thomas. You got yourself.

983
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,680

992
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: So what is it about? Like you know, like we

993
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: obviously we're talking New York Chicago, and there's the DMV

994
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: area and then you look up and quietly. We got

995
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: Jon Murray played for the Spurs Man. We got Zach Levine,

996
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,400

999
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,720
Speaker 1: We're just hoopers man together as a as a whole.

1000
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: Like that's it's just it's it's hard to explain, man,

1001
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,720
Speaker 1: we just let a hoop and then like our summers

1002
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: competing against each other like in the gym. It's it's crazy,

1003
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: did you Like I don't know Seattle very well. Obviously

1004
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: guys are from different neighbors. What's the proximity of the

1005
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: guys that you like like in New York and like

1006
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: we got Boros, we got Hall in Brooklyn, or like

1007
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: what is the proximity to like we got West Seattle's city.

1008
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: Central District is where like Brandon Roy went to high school,

1009
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: Garfield High School. Uh, south side of Seattle where I

1010
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: you know where I grew up. Uh, we called the

1011
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: South end is Rayner Beach area, Cleveland Renten High School.

1012
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: And then you got uh a little bit kind of

1013
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: in between the South End and the Central District is

1014
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: Franklin where Jayson Terry went Aaron Brooks uh and like

1015
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: literally like literally just like it's like we're all clustered

1016
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: in together, but it's like you know, close but yet

1017
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: far still, like you know, not all the great players

1018
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: went to one school. Like we all spread out, but

1019
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: you're aware of each other, like everybody aware of every

1020
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: you know of each and like the like the rivalry

1021
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: is just not with one school. So rivalry is Randy

1022
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: Beach and Franklin Randy Beach, Guardfield Randy Beach and you

1023
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: know Cleveland or whatever. And it's just it's a cycle

1024
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: of just you know, just this hoop and football and

1025
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: just you know, city city trash talk back and forth,

1026
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: and it's just it's it's pretty fun to be from

1027
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: a city that really everybody competes and with that and

1028
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: everything they do. Yeah, I mean, it's dope. I mean,

1029
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: and it's like it's just sort of crept up and

1030
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 1: like you're like they got like throwing All Star team.

1031
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't have an All Star team, but

1032
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: we got we'll put a team together up against some

1033
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: of the some of the best, and and right now

1034
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: we hold our own. We were suffering New York City

1035
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: as far. We got Kimba Kimball easy pass, easy pass.

1036
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,919
Speaker 1: His nickname is the best nickname at Auto Rutger Park name.

1037
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Easy pass. I mean, we got Lance. Yeah,

1038
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: he's he's back your Lances, back to the too. He's funny.

1039
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: He's Stevens team and to watch, like if I'm going

1040
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: to a game, I'm like, bro, He's truly on that

1041
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: Runker ship looking up like that. He must be he

1042
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: must have he must have fifty points of a triple double.

1043
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 1: And he's up there with only like eight points, six rebounds,

1044
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: and he's you know, he does he does a little

1045
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: bit of everything. But he he thinks that the commentator

1046
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: from Rutger is that every game that he's playing like

1047
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,919
Speaker 1: he's going for that comment. But that's how and that's

1048
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: and and that's the swag that he plays with. That's

1049
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: why I mean a coach letting a briar b him, right.

1050
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You gotta let lands be lands.

1051
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: We need to we need to shenan against untying the

1052
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: shoes or whatever you're doing. Absolutely all that flopping or whatever,

1053
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: do all that. He competes all that. Yeah, and complete

1054
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: plays hard and he's a tough little Yeah. But as

1055
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: far as like you know, New York, we're suffering. I mean,

1056
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell, young rookie, he's doing his thing, but whatever,

1057
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: we're not what we're used to be. When you first

1058
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: got to the NBA, A I love to ask people

1059
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: that you know, you dream, you put in the work,

1060
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: you're in college, you get drafted. What was your first like,

1061
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: oh ship, I'm in the NBA moment where you were

1062
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: just like I had to pay all my mama's bills

1063
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: and my dad. My mom was like, yeah, yeah, we

1064
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: need some you know. I mean, like, that's but that's

1065
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: something that I want to do. Just show my mom

1066
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: the appreciation that she's done for me, because I've never asked,

1067
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, my mom for a dime, bro, And to

1068
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: see her grinding work three jobs, four jobs for me

1069
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: and my brother and my sister. Bro, I'm like, yeah,

1070
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: that's that's easy, you know what I'm saying. But that's

1071
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:20,439
Speaker 1: when I knew. When I can help my mom away

1072
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: where she couldn't help herself, that's when I knew I'm

1073
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: And what about on the court, Just like I would say, first,

1074
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: the first time I played against Allen Iverson, that was

1075
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: my like my most exciting time, not even my first game,

1076
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,439
Speaker 1: but when I played against Ai my first my rookie year,

1077
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't sleep. I called my mom my dad,

1078
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: like yo, Like I went to the gym. I was

1079
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: at the gym all night. I was like, I studied

1080
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: this moves every and he still had forty seven yeah,

1081
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: four seven, But I hit the game when it shot

1082
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: that game again against the Sixers. You know, I think

1083
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: I might have been at that game. So it was

1084
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: pretty It was pretty crazy. How what was playing against

1085
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Allen Iverson when he was rocking and rolling? Like? How

1086
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: how good was Alan? I mean, he's he's like at

1087
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: compared to you, he's by far, He's by far. He's like,

1088
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: kareem to you six ft. You're like, I think you're

1089
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: bullshit about the five nine thing anyway, So if you're

1090
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: just saying that because I say, you look like scals,

1091
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: So it's cool. But but what was it like like

1092
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,959
Speaker 1: when you're a grandparent and they said, Dad, Grandpa, Nate,

1093
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: you played against Allen Iverson? What was that like? It

1094
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: was terrifying and yet satisfying at the same time. It's

1095
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: hard to explain because, like I said, as a kid,

1096
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be exactly like this guy. You

1097
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, you know, where the groo

1098
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: with the hair out corn rows I made. I didn't

1099
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: have a sleeve, but I cut a sock and take that,

1100
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, take that ship to my arm playing in

1101
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: the high school game with it and you had to

1102
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: tape on it. Yeah, everything, everything Irison did the finger

1103
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: things I had. I wanted it all. I wanted to

1104
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: be you know, just like Bubba Chuck Man, and uh

1105
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: like going against him, I was in my mind I

1106
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: would just here playing the moves that he's done. So

1107
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, he likes to crossover, so

1108
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: just sitting like sit on the crossover and just wait

1109
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 1: for him to get a shot off to contest, like

1110
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: just play good defense, like you've been here before and

1111
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: that you've watched this man hoop over over and over again.

1112
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: So like me going up against my idol man, it

1113
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: was just like like I know, I made it. I'm

1114
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 1: here like this is unbelievable, Like this game is dope.

1115
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: And then he gave me his sleep after the game.

1116
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: So I have that at the crib, so you still

1117
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: have it. Yeah, I'm never gonna I told my son,

1118
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: when you get nice enough as yours. So once he

1119
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: gets you know, I'm not saying he's gonna want to

1120
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: wear it, but I mean, who knows, Like you gotta

1121
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: put that in a frame. No it's not frame yet.

1122
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: He's just sitting by my little dunk contest trophies. Man,

1123
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: So I just let that sit there and chill, you know,

01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 1: before us, Like like you can like you feel that

1171
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,360

Speaker 1: against when I was with the Knicks, and I had

1176
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: a great game versus Lakers, and I was cooking their

1177
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: guards and Kobe came and had the garden and I

1178
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: was like like wow, like you know, it's not every

1179
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: day you get the ball and you're checking up in

1180
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: a real NBA game and Kobe Bryant's garden. So you

1181
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: remember that, just like that plink of a moment was like, Yeah,

1182
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: it's time to bust your ass. What's up? What's happening?

1183
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, I'm with it, you know, I'm like,

1184
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: I gotta school. I gotta get a bucket so I

1185
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: can say I got a bucket on Kobe Bryant. I

1186
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: end up pulling up shooting the three and making it,

1187
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: so yeah, I gave Kobe a bucket or two before

1188
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: and then all like, were you a ship talker? Yeah?

1193
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: whatever to get under somebody's skin in the game. I

1194
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: was doing that because I'm like, if I know, if

01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: he's so cool. He's a total opposite you know what

1206
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like it's so it's so crazy. So when

1207
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,479
Speaker 1: I played against him, it was just like wow, KG,

1208
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: you know talking crazy, See you know what I'm saying,

1209
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,479
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And then I get to the team

1210
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: with the Celtics. I get on the team with him

1211
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: and he's like, yo, now he's are so cool. And

1212
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: then on the court, you know, he's like so focused,

1213
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: like everything he does he does already know he's he's

1214
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: into it, he's all in. And it was just like

1215
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: damn like playing on the side of guys like KG,

1216
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: like Paul right, like all these guys y like I

1217
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: didn't play with some of the greatest you know players

1218
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: in the league ever and it was it was it

1219
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: was a treat man. You had big moments with that

1220
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: Celtics team. You know, you guys came up. Sure, those

1221
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 1: were some you know, like throwback rivalries with with the

1222
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Labor I blame I blame Doc for that loss. We

1223
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: should have we should have won that. So with that man,

1224
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: nobody really knows this and now I'll never tell people

1225
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:41,919
Speaker 1: this a you're gonna hear first here. So that day, uh,

1226
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: his game set me me and big baby, you know,

1227
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: Glenn Davis. We helped the team win. I think it

01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: was I want to say game five or Game five,

1229
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,360

01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: six because it was in It was in Boston. We

1231
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:54,840

1233
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,760

1236
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: we're talking and Doc causes in his office. He was like, yo,

Speaker 1: not gonna play all to night. And I'm like, so,

1240
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm like I kind of had like an outer body experience.

1241
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, like in the movies how

1242
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: they just stopped talking and they go to the screen

1243
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,439
Speaker 1: and they go, Yo, this guy's crazy for not doing

1244
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: this back to So that's where my mind went. So

1245
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: I went and I'm like, man, this guy crazy. Guys,

1246
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: do you understand that, you know, we just helped him

1247
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: win and now he doesn't want to play us and

1248
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: blah blahh. So then I come back and I'm like,

1249
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't say nothing, and I'm just like, wow, like,

1250
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 1: what did we do something wrong? He was like no,

1251
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with the guys that got us here, like,

1252
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, Ray and you guys, this might this might

1253
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: be their last go about it. If they win it,

1254
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: they might retire, who knows at the time. And I

1255
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: left the room just like, well, there's a championship, you

1256
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And then baby literally punched the

1257
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: door kicked. He was he was throwing and ship breaking,

1258
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: ship like, he was hot, crying tears like and I

1259
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: felt bad, like for for for him, for for me,

1260
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: because we know we could have helped the team in

1261
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: so many ways to get our for me my first championship,

1262
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: but just to be a part of history. Man, how

1263
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: do you how do you rob somebody from that? Is

1264
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 1: that unusual? We're a coach in the finals. It's one

1265
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: thing if like you're you know, you're you got a

1266
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: game in Utah, and like you know we're gonna sit you.

1267
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: But in the finals, like like to sort of make

1268
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: that beforehand, we're not playing these guys instead of letting

1269
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: the game coming like that seems like and let and

1270
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 1: let like nature take it whatever happens. We're gonna do

1271
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: whatever we need to do to win. And I and

1272
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: once once I figured that out, I was like, yeah,

1273
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't think whatever happened again for for for for

1274
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: us to win the championship like that, No, it's not

1275
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: gonna like for me. I was like, I know, I'm

1276
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: never ever gonna get back here again. And it was

1277
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: it was it sucked to know that, you know, all

1278
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: the confetti coming down and which just wasn't for us,

1279
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: and knowing that, you know, I played like seconds that

1280
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 1: put me in the game at the end of the

1281
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: game where he needed three point shooters out there like

1282
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: it was over there and like it was over was

1283
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: that we we were down four, We lost the game

1284
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 1: by four points, and I'm like four points when I

1285
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,560
Speaker 1: know I averaged eleven over my career. I know I

1286
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: could have got eleven points for you tonight. That's crazy.

1287
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: That's crazy. And I've shown and score points and bunches.

1288
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean I've averaged what when I was with the

1289
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Bulls at averaged like eight points or nine points in

1290
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:29,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter alone that whole season. That was pretty

1291
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 1: What was the dynamic of that Celtics team, you know

1292
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: with you had KG, you had Ray, you had you,

1293
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 1: you had baby uh who was like the leader of

1294
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: that team? Is there was there a leader of that

1295
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: team here? It was every it was so many of

1296
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: them that was that was that was a cool thing.

1297
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 1: But you know, like when one spoke, everybody listened, and

1298
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: when another person says something, everybody listened. So it wasn't like,

1299
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of egos in the locker room up,

1300
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 1: but you know, they respected each other and they let

1301
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 1: each to talk and figure it out, and you know,

1302
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: you listen to him, and just it was watching a

1303
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: whole bunch of great players, know exactly of exactly all

1304
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: the plays, every person's movements and where you're supposed to

1305
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: be the other team's plays. Like it was like being

1306
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 1: out there and you just it's like taking the test,

1307
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: know and all the answers to it, knowing you're gonna

1308
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: get a playing with those type of players. And when

1309
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: you know you've been on so many different teams, so

1310
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: many different environments or cultures as they call them, can

1311
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: you tell right away if it's a good culture or

1312
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 1: a bad culture, Like can you feel it? Uh? For

1313
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: the most part, you can, you know, and like you

1314
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: can still have good culture around and still be a

1315
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: losing team. So it's not like that's the thing like,

1316
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 1: oh you gotta cut you guys are winning because I've

1317
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 1: I've been on teams that win and it was a

1318
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: bad it's a bad it's a bad or I wouldn't

1319
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,719
Speaker 1: say a bad team, but in it's just the energy

1320
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: and the building and on this team is just not right,

1321
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that's what it would be.

1322
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be like guys were not it's not liking

1323
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: each other or whatever, but it's like just that energy

1324
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 1: is just not like where everybody like and like when

1325
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: you're in high school when it's your boys and it's like,

1326
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: you know, like you go home, you go you know,

1327
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: you walk your boy home where I see you tomorrow,

1328
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: like like that energy like with your team, Like it's

1329
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: like some teams have that and some teams don't. And

1330
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 1: you can't predict it either. It's just like it's like

1331
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,639
Speaker 1: it comes yeah because you're magic. Like you said, teams

1332
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: get trades, new guys come in new You know, you

1333
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 1: gotta adapt, you gotta kind of you know, try to

1334
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: feel how like the energy is gonna be, how people

1335
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: are gonna react, how they're gonna judge you, because you

1336
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: know people do that look at you, scan you up

1337
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: like your a robot, tell you what you're about yourself,

1338
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: so you know all that you got to add that

1339
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: in the factor, you know, factors in when you were

1340
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 1: winning the dunk contest, like that period of time. First

1341
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: of all, how old were you? How told were you

1342
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: the first time you legitimately dunk? I was five seven.

1343
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: I want to say, my sophomore 're in high school

1344
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: and you dunk in the game? Yep? My coach through me,

1345
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: Uh job a play for me to out of bounce,

1346
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: play catch up from out of bounce dunk first dunk

1347
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: all you allie you? And after that I never looked back.

1348
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: I've been dunking ever since. I try to dunk everything.

1349
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: What young and dunk everything. When you were winning the

1350
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: dunk contest and and like it was so like you

01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: were so beloved and such a like you know, like

1352
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: how having a little dude win dunk concerts after dunk

1353
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,080

1372
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: dunk concerts, because it might have The thing that I

1373
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: loved about you and Dwight is that you guys went

1374
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: out there to win. My my problem with the dunk

1375
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: contest now is this motherfucker seemed too cool to want

1376
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: to funk up and then won. And that's what and

1377
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: that's what it is to me. I wasn't too cool

1378
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: when I didn't want to win. I wanted to win,

1379
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: and then I wanted to do the dunk that I said,

1380
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 1: I know I do this though, like I remember one

1381
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 1: time I did like fifteen times, right, so with me,

1382
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: I can that dunk. I can do I can make once.

1383
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: It takes two times to do that dunk. At that time,

1384
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't understand why I'm missing it.

1385
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 1: Was it nervous? Was it just then just nervous. I

1386
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: just wanted to make it on the first try, knowing

1387
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I was like, oh,

1388
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show how like all right, I'm gonna keep

1389
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: doing the time make I don't care if I lose.

1390
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm a steal. Stick to what I'm doing. I'm gonna

1391
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: get to whatever points they give me because I know

1392
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 1: once I do it, that's fifteen times of me trying

1393
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: to actually getting it on the fifteen times. That was

1394
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 1: like I won that one. Yeah, I won that one.

1395
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: On the one that he was like it was like

1396
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: motherfucker's were taking naps. It was like, yo, I think

1397
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:58,599
Speaker 1: I was at that. I'm like, I went to guy,

1398
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: gotta prep. So it was a cord went take a piss.

1399
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna wait. We want we know it's

1400
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,000

01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: does and there it is ladies and gentlemen they Robinson

1402
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: I got though, so yeah, I was like for me

1403
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: with the Dunk Countess now, like I want to encourage

1404
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: these guys, like like when Larry Nance beat Dr J

1405
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: and the Dunk Contest. Now this is you're younger than me,

1406
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 1: but watching that broke my heart. But if anybody thinks

1407
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: that Dr J did not want to win, their crazy

1408
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: and I see these young kids out there, I'm like,

1409
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 1: you get a little fucking sweat. I think trying to

1410
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: win it. I think what they need to do with

1411
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: the Dunk Contest is kind of add from the from

1412
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: old school, like when I was growing up watching the

1413
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: Dunk Contest and the New school. They need to let

1414
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 1: you like like they used to let people pick music

1415
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 1: to want it dunk to like me. If I wasn't

1416
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: able to plick a song that always got me hype,

1417
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: I know I can jump higher than what I will

1418
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: because then I'm playing into my song, get that energy from,

1419
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: get the crowd involved, and I'm gonna throw it. I

1420
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: may do some ship I've never done before. Who with

1421
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: that energy, throw the bottle, but just reacting, just do

1422
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: whatever I feel needs to do and just try to

1423
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: dunk in and make it. Like some of the best

1424
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: dunks are sometimes they're not practice or or plan. You

1425
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: just try something. And like I did a dunk off

1426
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: the backboard and I just did a reverse three sixty

1427
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: and just dunked it. And I did it, and I

1428
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 1: was like, yep, I'm doing nothing dunk contests. So I

1429
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'm saving that. So I put that

1430
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 1: one in. Then I have I had a plan of

1431
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: the dunks that I wanted to do, and I just

1432
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: stuck by him and I was like, I'm gonna accept

1433
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: whatever points they gave me and hopefully I make it

1434
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: to the final, because if I make it to the finals,

1435
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: I got one that's going that's gonna that's gonna get

1440
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,519

01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 1: Um Gerald, they need to put Jerald Green in the

1444
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,040

Speaker 1: Ferguson from uh Okay, see got bounced. I usually gotta

1446
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: you just gotta throw. It should be more. It's only

1447
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: four people in the dunk contest, like that's not like

1448
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: they're just trying to hurt, like it should be that

1449
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 1: many people. But you just give one dunk. Everybody get

1450
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: one dunk, and then whoever is the best dunk and

1451
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: you keep Yeah, it's like you know what I'm saying.

1452
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: So it's not you get three dunk three Now one dunk,

1453
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,639
Speaker 1: you go, you make it. That's your points, that's next dunker,

1454
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 1: and then the warm up line, warm the funk up

1455
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,600
Speaker 1: and get real like feed. But this is what they

1456
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: don't do though. They don't let you warm up. See,

1457
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: you guys don't know behind the scenes. So when I

1458
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 1: was in the dunk contest, I was like, oh, I'm

1459
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: thinking that we get to warm up. No, we got

1460
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: to warm up in the back as the three. So

1461
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: we don't never get to see the three point contest

1462
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: because we're in the back warming up our dunks doing,

1463
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: and we don't want to show what we're doing back there,

1464
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: so we're just out there just dunking and you know,

1465
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: not trying to show what we're like what we're doing.

1466
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: I knew when I jumped over the White. I was like,

1467
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: I already know my dumb but I'm not gonna, you know,

1468
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,600
Speaker 1: show nobody. So I asked, I asked a lady to

1469
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: get everybody out so I can practice my dunk, you know,

1470
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: over the white and with with the White or somebody else. No,

1471
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: it was with Dwight. So I practiced. I dunked over

1472
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: and he was like, okay, you can't do it, because

1473
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: he didn't think I can do it. I said, I'll

1474
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 1: show you when we do the warm up, and I

1475
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: showed him he did and he's like, oh, yeah, you're

1476
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna yeah, You're gonna win it with that. So he

1477
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: like there was you know, shout out to the White

1478
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 1: for being a good support by you know, being a

1479
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: good teammate by helping me win that one. But I

1480
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: appreciate that. One of the craziest things when you were

1481
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 1: a nick I think this when I was like, Nate

1482
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:28,600
Speaker 1: Robinson is the toughest motherfucker on the court. The Nick's

1483
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 1: Denver fight. What do you remember about? That was one

1484
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: of the last really bad fights. I I gotta tell you,

1485
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: I was I've always fucked with Carmelo. Syracuse won us

1486
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: the championship New York. But I was like, that was

1487
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: some bullshit. That was some bullshit. He stole. He stole

1488
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: on my boy, Marty collins manh homeboy didn't see it coming.

1489
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: He didn't, but he really he hit him. But he

1490
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 1: wasn't one of those words, oh you know, because if

1491
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna steal on somebody, you don't. You ain't post

1492
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: to back up or still finish him. But you backed

1493
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: him up to half course, you push your finish them

1494
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: like me, like how that game happened? All right? They

1495
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 1: were kicking our ass like by like fifty points. And

1496
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: our coach, you know, he put on all the young

1497
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: guys and he's like, uh, like they're gonna keep their

1498
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,719
Speaker 1: players in. It was like if they there's no dunks,

1499
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: no no more dunks. Saiah Thomas, our coach, he was like,

1500
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: no dunks and he's like I don't I don't care

1501
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 1: what happened. And he was like if something happens, a

1507
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:39,200

Speaker 1: out here dunking and throwing the ball off the back.

1511
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 1: But they had their starting fives in a Melow was

Speaker 1: And my boy and Marty Jr. Had a fast break

1515
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: and Marty went and like just you know, found him hard.

1516
01:18:58,400 --> 01:18:59,960

1519
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: they're screaming back and forth. Then Mellow comes and grabs

1520
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: me by the like trying to like by the throat,

1521

Speaker 1: his hand out the way and then Jr. Comes he

1523
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: rushes me. So when he rushed me, all I did

1524
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,640
Speaker 1: was from all I could do was just you know,

1525
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,799

01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 1: and all that's going on, Malredy gets stole on all

1527
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 1: that happens, Me and Jr. Square up on the side

1528
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,800

1529
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: melow after he stole him. Then I ran up and

1530
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: trying to square up with him. He ran off back

1531
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: there with Nina, and you know, I wasn't going down

1532
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: there with and Kevin Kenyan Martin, so I had to

1533
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: stay in my ground. So but like that, just that day,

1534
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: it was just it was just crazy. But like he said,

1535
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, things happen, man, you know what I'm saying,

1536
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: But you gotta be like you said, you gotta ride

1537
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: with your team. And I'm always gonna do that no

1538
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: matter when loose, draw right or wrong. Um, I was

1539
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: that player, you know what I'm saying. I was that

1540
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,600
Speaker 1: person and I've always been like that from like the

1541
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 1: people that I rock with. So what were the ramifications

1542
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: of that fight, like in terms of you know, the

1543
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,360

01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: thank you, Zeke. I mean, but forget, forget the financial

1552
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: part of it. That just must have been what I'm

1553
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:29,560
Speaker 1: just saying for me at that I didn't even have

1554
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: a hundred thousands. That's that was a lot of money.

1555
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 1: Which hundred thousand, I'm sweating, like damn, I don't know

1556
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. Um, Like, Mama, you gotta get

1557
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: that money back. I need that, I need, I need

1558
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 1: them checks back. But now, seriously, like that was a blessing, bro,

1559
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: Like you can't you can't ask, you know, for something

1560
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: perfect like that to happen. But just know that he

1561
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 1: respected the fact that I'm out there, you know, risking

1562
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,000
Speaker 1: my my life and my ask for my teammates and

1563
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: for what they're doing. So I had to stand up

1564
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: for what I believe in. And when you guys have fights, obviously,

1565
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's never anything like you know, like there's

1566
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: a fans we love it. But then like for me,

1567
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 1: as I've gotten, you know, to be around the players,

1568
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: like the Big Three and like especially like Stephen Jackson

1569
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: and even she had had a Big Three because I'm

1570
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 1: playing in the Big Three, you know, and like you

1571
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: see like the camaraderie that you guys have, like when

1572
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:18,679
Speaker 1: you see Mellow. I mean obviously there's rivalies, like you

1573
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: you cross bass, Like, how does that get swept under

1574
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: the bridge? Well, don't really get swept. I've seen j R.

1575
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: One time, and you know, a couple of times after

1576
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:27,600
Speaker 1: that happened. I've seen him one time when he was

1577
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: like with like at least fifteen of his homies and

1578
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: I was like that this fashion thing in New York

1579
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 1: and it was like fifteen of them. It was just

1580
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: me and my boy, And I told my boy, I'm like, look,

1581
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: if something happens, you just go get the car. I'll

1582
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: make sure I'll make it downstairs. So you know what

1583
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: sing just because I knew that it was still fresh.

1584
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 1: And then on one time I seen him in the

1585
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:47,640
Speaker 1: club one time, and it was it was just it

1586
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: was just weird. But it was just like I don't know,

1587
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 1: I guess an unspoken agreement or whatever, but somehow something happening.

1588
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: It just got it just got squashed over over the

1589
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 1: years because I don't know, I just I don't know

1590
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 1: how I did, but it did. I've seen Mellowe talked

1591
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: about it, and it was just it was just over with.

1592
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 1: It was just, you know, nothing really too much because

1593
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 1: like even in you go to like l a fitness type,

1594
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, people fight all the time and then they

1595
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 1: see the same people the next day and they'd be like,

1596
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 1: all right, cool, Like you know what I'm saying. It's

1597
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: a respect factor at that point. Yeah, alright, Big three.

1598
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: Now I am the the sideline reporter of the Big Three. Wow,

1599
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:22,639
Speaker 1: let's get it. Howard coach Sell of the Big Three? Um?

1600
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 1: How excited are you about the Big Three? Um? And

1601
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now these are my two

1602
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:31,520
Speaker 1: things because I was Howard coach Sell. So every play

1603
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: on the sideline, uh, watch it all. I'll tell you

1604
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 1: the two things. Number One, the games are short, so

1605
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: there is no warming up. You gotta get come in

1606
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,600
Speaker 1: the first quarter ready to go. You guys are conditioned

1607
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: from from college to pro games like, oh, I could

1608
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 1: get it popping in the middle of the second middle

1609
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,720
Speaker 1: second Corter games, sucking over no man. So for me,

1610
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 1: I just prepared myself. I'm just always ready to hoop.

1611
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: So you ain't gotta worried about me being ready and

1612
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, like you said, I'm in shape.

1613
01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: I work out two or three times a day. So

1614
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 1: let this big three. I'm going to encourage other x

1615

1616
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: you why you need to be in shape when I

01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: play against you. So just just know that. So you're

1618
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,200

01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: play an NBA So just know that. That's how I'm

1620
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: treating this. Okay, So it's this is real, this is

1621
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: this is business. And show people like, yeah, I still

1622
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: play and I take this serious and there's no there's

1623
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: gonna be no oh yeah, you gotta hell hold back

1624
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: because of the coach that it's gonna be another treat.

1625
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 1: I get to be myself. So then you guys get

1626
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,400
Speaker 1: to see how I can really play the game of basketball.

1627
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 1: What you're in shape, your thirty three three, about to

1628
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: be thirty four. May that's crazy? Do you in your head?

1629
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 1: Are you done with the NBA? Would you like to

1630
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:42,680
Speaker 1: play with you? I way, why aren't you in the NBA? Now?

1631
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 1: I would say, just I would say, people think I'm

1632
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: still the young Nade that I was when I first

1633
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 1: came in. I believe they just don't want to give

1634
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:53,760
Speaker 1: me the chance to to to to change. Uh. I

1635
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's the reason change. When you

1636
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 1: say to change me change, it would could be I

1637
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:01,679
Speaker 1: guess my attitude to be the chase where I approach

1638
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: anything and everything, do exactly what they want me to do,

1639
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 1: don't say anything at all, don't be happy with whatever

1640
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: minutes they give me, whether it's one minute or whatever.

1641
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 1: When I know I can help, Like they want me

1642
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 1: just to basically shut them up and just be blah

1643
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: blah blah. But like for me, that's it's not hard.

1644
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: But it's like it's difficult to be able to take

1645
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 1: something from somebody and yet this is what you get

1646
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 1: no matter what you do. Like that's hard for me,

1647
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,640
Speaker 1: Like why like why is that so? No? Okay? But

1648
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: now I'm like, all right, do you guys want me

1649
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: to do that. Just to be able to play, I'll

01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: with that pull up stuff, because you seem like you

1695
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,000

1698
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:25,679

1699
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,680
Speaker 1: like tin is hard. Like people think, no, people think

1700
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,600
Speaker 1: pull ups are just easy, but now they're really not

1701
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:35,000

1766
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 1: for it, coming up. Man, after all these am but

1767
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm training for football supers and step you know, get

1768
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 1: back to my to my you know, to my aura. So,

1769
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 1: so you played football in college. I got a football

1770
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 1: scholarship to go to University of Washington, not a basketball

1771
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: s college basketball scholarship. So so quick story, I got

1772
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:54,799
Speaker 1: mr Football in the state of Washington, and UH and

1773
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 1: and and state player of your in basketball. And I

1774
01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 1: got the hurdles record. I ran the hurdles in high school,

1775
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: so I got the record in Washington in the hurdles.

1776
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 1: But I got a football scholarship. And then I walked

1777
01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 1: on and played basketball. And what position did you play

1778
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 1: in college? Mostly football? Played cornerback, running back in high school.

1779
01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:16,800
Speaker 1: So in all honesty, if you had never played basketball

1780
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 1: and you just solely focused on football, would you have

1781
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: been a cornerback? What position you would have play? Running back?

1782
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 1: Probably offense. Then if I would have just solely played

1783
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:26,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL, if well, college probably out have been

1784
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,479
Speaker 1: played both ways out to play offense and defense. If

1785
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 1: if I could have it the way, I would want

1786
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 1: only played football. I would want to play offense and

1787
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:36,720
Speaker 1: defense because I was that damn good and and like

1788
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: that good. Like before Reggie Bush was Reggie Bush, it

1789
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 1: was Nate Robinson doing what Reggie Bush was doing. And

1790
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 1: USC gave me where they wanted me to come to.

1791
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 1: You know, they gave me a scholarship to come to USC,

1792
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:50,640
Speaker 1: but I chose Washington. So you were like heavily recruited

1793
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 1: high school anywhere, probably almost almost anywhere. Only the one

1794
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 1: school that didn't give me the scholarship that I wanted

1795
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: was for the State And because of Dionce Anders, Peter Warrick,

1796
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that I love watching play for

1797
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 1: that school that I wanted to go to, but coach

1798
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 1: b was not recruiting all the way in the Pacific Northwest,

1799
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 1: so I had to settle for Washington. But that's not

1800
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 1: pretty good school though. And when you tried out for

1801
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:16,479
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, that wasn't a publicity stunt. No, I

1802
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't I don't know what that is.

1803
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do publicity stuff. So I

1804
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 1: was like, I was really walking in, like what's up?

1805
01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:24,759
Speaker 1: Like can I get a job? Like I'm gonna say

1806
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,320

1807
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: I said, when you were doing that, my prediction I

1808
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 1: actually was talking about. I was like, Nate's gonna make

1809
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 1: the fucking team. I said, if there's an NFL an

1810
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:37,800
Speaker 1: NBA player who could play NFL, it's Nate Robinson because

1811
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 1: he's probably fucking nuts because he's five nine and won

1812
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:42,719
Speaker 1: three dunk contest and I'm gonna pull the fucking quote

1813
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 1: in David in the show. Alright, cool, that's what's up man.

1814
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 1: I appreciate the love, bro. I would feel it was

1815
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 1: like if anybody could do it, fucking Nate Robertson could

1816
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 1: fuck do it. Yeah, it would have been fun, man,

1817
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: that would have been That had have been a pretty

1818
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: fun thing to be able to be the first person

1819
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 1: to play professional basketball and professional football like rarely play it.

1820
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:01,720
Speaker 1: So you think it was just like sort of politics,

1821
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:04,759
Speaker 1: like he's a basketball player. I just think that they wouldn't.

1822
01:32:05,320 --> 01:32:07,639
Speaker 1: They wasn't gonna look at me as in just coming

1823
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 1: in openly being just got you, not Robinson the basketball

1824

01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 1: a retro guy, bro Like all the new stuff is cool, man,

1947
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:58,560
Speaker 1: but all the retro stuff people are still trying to

1948
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:00,600
Speaker 1: just trying to duplicate. They're trying to recreate eight you know,

1949
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:03,760
Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties, and it's you know what I'm saying, like,

1950
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 1: you still can't you still can't mess with the eighties

1951
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:08,200
Speaker 1: and nineties. Man, It's just something that can't be tampered with.

1952
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 1: I agree, you know what I'm saying. I agree. Um

1953
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 1: final question is is all right, who? Based on everything

1954
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: we know, a barring injury, we want everybody to be

1955
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 1: healthy throughout the whole season. Where we are in the

1956
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 1: season midway point, Who's winning the NBA Championship? Wow? Man,

1957
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 1: I mean I see the Warriors in there for sure

1958
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 1: of the West. Man, unless Houston can really and okay,

1959
01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:31,640
Speaker 1: see can really put something together and find a way

1960
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 1: to knock each other out or something. But out of

1961
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: those three teams, I'm just gonna still stick by the Warriors, man,

1962
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 1: because they're still the numbers, don't lie, man, And they

1963
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 1: can score at the rapid rate whenever they want, and

1964
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 1: that's hard to guard, you know what I'm saying. So

1965
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 1: the only way to beat them is you gotta outscore them.

1966
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:49,479
Speaker 1: So at some point in Houston can continue to do

1967
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 1: that like they did this year, then they have a chance.

1968
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: But out of the East, I'm I'm loving Boston. I

1969
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:58,640
Speaker 1: love Boston, what Kyrie is doing with that team they have.

1970
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:02,639
Speaker 1: They have the best NBA team. And when I say

1971
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 1: by team, people listen to what I'm saying. By best

1972
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:07,719
Speaker 1: NBA team, to the point guard to the shooting guard.

1973
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 1: Their great role players, great coach, great atmosphere, you know

1974
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like they're a great team. They're just

1975
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,760
Speaker 1: dangerous to you know, to on paper, they're dangerous on TV,

1976
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: they're dangers in real life. So I would say out

1977
01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 1: of the East, I would I would like I would

1978
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:21,960
Speaker 1: like to see Boston out of the East. When you

1979
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 1: were with Golden State that year, dumb Nation, what is

1980
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:28,639
Speaker 1: your takeaway from that? Because I was like sort of like,

1981
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, Mark Jackson was the coach and they got

1982
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, so far, and then obviously we all know

1983
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 1: his you know history, Steve Kirk came in and then

1984
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 1: like Stephan, those guys took it to their next level.

1985
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,120
Speaker 1: Did you ever imagine that that team would sort of

1986
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:45,760
Speaker 1: become what it's become in terms of historically these Golden

1987
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 1: State Warriors teams, and that season you were there. I

1988
01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: was the jump off. I was I was there right

1989
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 1: before they they started to uh take off during the

1990
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 1: lockout year, and it was it was fun because at

1991
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 1: that time I got to play a little bit more,

1992
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 1: uh you know, Steph was in and out from you know,

1993
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:04,479
Speaker 1: twisting ankle every no now and again. Monte Ellis was

1994
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 1: there at the time. They end up trading them and everything.

1995
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: So I was in that little area they were just

1996
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:11,960
Speaker 1: now cleaning the house and getting to where they're at now.

1997
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: Like they got. I always thought there were a couple

1998
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:16,559
Speaker 1: of pieces away, a couple of you know, a couple

1999
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 1: of pieces to the puzzle away, Like they went out

2000
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:20,519
Speaker 1: and got Igadaba was great, you know what I'm saying.

2001
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:22,680
Speaker 1: They got some other great role players around them, and

2002
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:26,080
Speaker 1: they just and then you got Clay just playing lights out,

2003
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 1: and you know, they get Draymond Green and just and

2004
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 1: it just ad more pieces, you know, and now they

2005
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 1: have the blueprint of you know, what it takes to be,

2006
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, a great team in the NBA, and and

2007
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: they're rolling with it. And it's fun to watch. When

2008
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:40,760
Speaker 1: Steph was suffering from those ankle injuries, and obviously you

2009
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,400
Speaker 1: saw the talent. Did you ever imagine that he would

2010
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 1: sort of break through the way he broke through. It

2011
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,719
Speaker 1: was just a matter of time. Just watching them at practice,

2012
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:53,120
Speaker 1: guarden him at practice, watching him and Clay shoot jumpers like,

2013
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, competing, It was it was one of the

2014
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 1: coolest things to watch. Speak on that. So when I'm

2015
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 1: what I mean by that, guys like you have two

2016
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:02,719
Speaker 1: of the best players bet, two of the best shooters

2017
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:05,080
Speaker 1: you've ever seen in the gym. What do you think

2018
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:07,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. My jumper is way better than yours.

2019
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:10,920
Speaker 1: Well let's see. You know, it's like old school clant

2020
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: Is would you know, draws like who's the who has

2021
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:18,520
Speaker 1: the best shot? You know? So, uh, it was just unbelievable,

2022
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:20,519
Speaker 1: Like even being down the rebound and after shot after

2023
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 1: shot they would go like twenty without missing in a row.

2024
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:26,200
Speaker 1: This is I'm like, this is crazy. And they're stepping

2025
01:41:26,240 --> 01:41:28,759
Speaker 1: back even further back and forth, shot off the shot,

2026
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:31,559
Speaker 1: shot off the shot, and they're just making shots now

2027
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: they're going backboard, backboard shots and just some shots not

2028
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 1: hitting the net. They don't count hitting all that. I'm like, damn, like,

2029
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: this is like, this is crazy. They do that every day.

2030
01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 1: So just imagine in the game repetition that shot becomes easy.

2031
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:45,439
Speaker 1: You see where Curry's shooting from right now, he don't

2032
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:48,679
Speaker 1: even see nobody. He pulling up three clay Clay shoots

2033
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:50,680
Speaker 1: the probably face. He has a probably the fastest jump

2034
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:54,440
Speaker 1: shot in the NBA. And to be that efficient and

2035
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 1: to have that much accuracy, which your shot is, it's unbelievable. Man.

2036
01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 1: All right, I can't a you how much I appreciate you.
