So when he made all Start and this 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.160 is his first time, this is the league's chance to 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.360 not only Appreciape but celebrate our players.

Shaq had a shoe, pepsi, whatever he had, 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.600 he brought with him to that. So guess what when 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.480 Jordan stepped out there, he had the all red joint on. 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.080 Talking to David Letterman, he was like, man, what the fuck? 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.080 Jordan got on and they had the little air. Jordan 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.360 was like, what it was a trampoline for you to 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.919 perpetuate your platform, your brand. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:34.760 Bro. 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.040 He got in the dunk contest then, so you can 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.479 see the Jordan's right. He got in the jud contest 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.760 because they had already strategized. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.520 But what's killing that as the social media now they say, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:46.599 I don't need to do that on that. 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.320 Arm hit me out. It was a strategy. Ope, yeah, 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.320 Nike was in on it. So guess what they already said, 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.920 we got this campaign and we've seen you work out 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:57.520 and we think you can fly. We need you to 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.560 go out in the dunk contest and actually fly. So 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.880 guess what he did. He was doing all dunks when 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.000 he was just hanging in the air for two three seconds, 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.720 hanging in the air for two three seconds, hanging in 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.160 the affritude. And then what I'm saying, here come this air, 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.280 Here come this air campaign about walking on there and 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.360 guess what we all did. Everybody in this room. I'm 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.600 talking about everybody who holding the camera. We went in 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.240 the backyard and I ain't gonna lick he I feel 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.960 for about one and a half seconds. I don't know 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.720 about y'all, but my firens fell like like man with 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.000 Joey was kicking his legs and sick. I was like, yeah, 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.040 this is who I want to be. 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.080 You start wearing it on socks like that the knee breaking. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.760 My knee got hurt because I started wearing it. Shit, Lord, 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.600 listen to me. I'm seeing all this is saying that 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.280 it perpetuated whatever you were selling. Yeah, now in the 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.840 world of I've seen it already. What color wave you 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.040 come in with, I've already seen your one, two and three, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.480 give me four, five and six. Now that trampoline no more, bro, 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.960 it's on display. Now you're on platform eighty. 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.680 Everywhere twenty four seven, twenty seven. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.000 So that's the burnout. I'm thinking that we are burning 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.200 not only All Stars out, but we're burning the viewership. Bro, 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.200 We're watching so much basketball that I'm going, oh shit, okay, 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.680 I'm over there, Okay, give me something else. We ain't 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.040 even let the Boston Celtic young boys grow. We ain't 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.560 let Gunnis go into what we just want the next 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.200 right now, because that's what it's giving. You think about 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.800 our stars last year, Nate, right now, if you was 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.480 to go back and look at All Stars from two 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.560 years ago, and who's on that list. Zion's on that 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.720 list Ingram's on that list, Rents on that list, Bro, 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.160 they wouldn't know none of us list Listen more older, 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.200 you hear what I'm saying. So as I'm watching the 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.120 league progressive with the waves, man, the league just gonna 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.040 have to catch up, sit down with the guys and 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.800 really have a real conversation about, Hey, how can we 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.119 make this better? Why are y'all not being as competitive 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.160 in the game as y'all are when y'all go to 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:57.000 play next Thursday or that Wednesday? Because that Wednesday, I'm 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.360 being honest, that's when people start disconnecting. You ever, see, 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.840 if you go back, you can go back on almost 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.720 the last ten years that you can find right at 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.520 that Wednesday game. This nigga's getting blown out like seventy 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.320 to night, like because they already got already getting ready 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.040 for the break. So why would you even play that game. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.040 I would give Listen, Monday, it should be the last day. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.280 You got to give some time for the stars to 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.120 actually enjoy the break. And whether it's four games and 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.800 then boot and they all show up Thursday, it's something. 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.720 But the stars are tired. The stars are burned out 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.360 and they need a rest, and no one wants to 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:31.760 say it. 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.000 Yeah they know it. They that's why they stand. And 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.800 they extended to days TI we had no rest. We 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.320 played Sunday, Doll. I would literally every All Star game. 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.880 I never spent the night. I was on the jet 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.080 go out of there to the next city we played 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.840 because we got practiced the next day. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:50.760 So all that's going on. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.000 So now they get like Monday off, Tuesday, Wednesday, they 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.280 get at least a few days. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.199 We got no days. Niggas not even playing the whole season. Yeah, 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:04.319 you're playing games anyways, you're sitting out anyways. You hear 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.040 what I'm saying. It's not like this nigga's playing eighty 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.600 two games. See, he's playing forty five fifty games at 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:10.520 the most. You understand. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.800 So what what is it that can bring the All 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.960 Star Game back in Because I'm saying it's dead. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.640 It ain't us. It's dead, it ain't us. This is 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.760 what I'm saying. The league gonna have to sit down 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:26.520 with the players of the future, the job morants, all 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.040 the guys who finish characters for the next fifteen years. 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.600 This is y'all, okay, how can we make this better? 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.439 Because we want to. All the league wants is a 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.439 more competitive game. And then you're gonna hear the young 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.560 boys start talking. And if they don't talk, all the 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.160 old heads go to make their decisions. The young boys 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.240 got to step up and speak up for the younger generation. Y'all. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.080 You're in tired of how's being ran, and you gotta 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:46.920 speak up and you gotta say what it is, what 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.040 y'all want. Y'all want more of this, less of this 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.080 because you see where it is going now going. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.680 I saw too, and I've been seeing this for years, 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.920 you know, like when we talk about the best players 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.679 or the league is becoming a European league and our 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:09.120 top Europeans Luca and Joker, they yn John They could 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.880 care less about the All Star Game. And that's fine, 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.240 but how can I How can I see one of 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.960 them as the face of the league. 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:19.080 You know what I'm saying. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.520 With that type of attitude, I can't like see one 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.120 of them being the face. So whoever's next in line, 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.800 whoever's gonna be the face of the league? I need 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.480 to I need to see it at all times. Bro, 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.040 you gotta be like, come on, like, who who's in 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.559 that line? I gotta Tatum in that line. 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.280 Jonas Janis is the champion out of all the young boys. 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.040 But now, but I don't want to hear I don't 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:48.800 want to hear you say I don't watch basket If yo, listen, 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.599 if somebody you care about coming to you say some 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.760 real ship, you gotta take it into count he tells you, 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.120 I don't watch basketball, so you got to play, oh ship? 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.400 So I'm a fan, like I get to at the 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.960 dude who the face of the league.

I need I 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.520 need to feel their their pain and there when they 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.240 hit the pinnacles, you know, and now when you're telling 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.880 me you're making fifty million, sixty million dollars a year 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.320 and you don't watch like for me as a fan, 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.880 as a fan, as a fan, as an older fan, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.040 as an older fan, I'm thinking like that. He generation 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.400 has multiple interest and they don't think like that. 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:24.959 You hear what I'm saying to you. So I want 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.760 me as a fan of a fan of that players 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.760 to face the league. I need him to be invested 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.080 in all phases of it, because that's showing me. You know, 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.120 when my kid who I want him to emulate, I 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.440 want him to emulate that player. 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.240 That's that's that's passionate about it. That that's like saying, yeah, man, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.959 I like like I work, I work out in the morning, 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.480 six am, I watch film, I do my weights. That's 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:50.160 why I want my son to be watching emotions about it. Yeah, exactly, exactly, 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.640 exact exactly. So now I'm not I'm trying to pick 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.600 out today who is that player? 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.680 Today? I just told you is the face? 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.000 But he just said I don't watch basket. 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.520 Okay, then that's a real conversation you gotta have. That's 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.040 all I'm saying. You cannot address the problem if you 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.560 keep looking over Okay, you didn't like that answer, but 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.120 that's the answer. Pepe. Okay, that's what I'm saying. So 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.079 now guess what we need to We need to work 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.320 with that because guess what he's talking for a whole 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.720 generation who else don't like watching basketball? Then nobody else. 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.880 I don't even know what that answer is, but I 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:24.880 bet it's more than what you think it is. And 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.040 this is the interest in the young guys. So you 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.160 think kids today don't watch absolutely not. And that's the 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.120 issue of the league every not only the issue with 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.560 the league, but the issue with NFL, issue with MLB, 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.720 issue with NHL. Somebody's trying to figure out how to 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.120 get eyeballs. Everybody's start thinking of an old traditional way 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.400 to get linear eyeball. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.880 How you get better, bro? Because I think my game 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:49.480 was built off watching tape video recording games, you know, 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.600 rewatching them looking at this player, trying to emulate this player. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.280 So kids is just like not trying to emulate nobody 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:56.280 no more and not watching. 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.520 They just looking for the clip they. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.000 So they can give you the this or or to 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.240 this or that's what they that's what they in search 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:05.479 of that highlight. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.480 This, because that's what you're gonna watch because that's what 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.560 you're gonna watch. That's what you're gonna watch. And they 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.480 looking for what put eyeballs on the table? What's gonna 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.240 put eyeballs? And watch this while they watching this peak. 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.560 You know why they're watching this piece because we can 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.520 say ship that the league can't say. We can say 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.120 ship that players playing right now are thinking. Yeah, I 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.440 ain't speaking for nobody. I'm telling you what a mindset 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.680 of a nigga who work and play eighty two games 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.240 and gotta come in the All Star Game. You got 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.720 paid another two hundred and fifty thousand to bring his 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.760 family here. Get out of here, right, y'all want y'all 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.880 feel sorry for me, but guess what this is the 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.960 real parts of it. I don't get no rest in here. 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:40.840 I'm not gonna say like when we played in the 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.600 All Star Game, Dad, we didn't. We didn't bullshit because 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.480 there was some bullshit going there. But I know one 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.560 thing that fourth quarter come it. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:53.320 Was all bullshit. Where you entertaining entertain It's like entertaining, 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:57.400 but listen, you gonna be said, I'm riding, but you 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.560 go to dunk. I'm not trying to hide your job, 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:05.720 hotch Yeah right, man, d Wade broke cold news. Lord. Yeah, 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.280 were always serious.

But if I'm going to give you 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.440 some work, and I got something, and I got some 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.200 incentives on this work. You gotta get this work. It's 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:23.840 a little nigga. 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.640 What I said. It come from the top. Throw it 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.200 come from the playoffs. The players are the answer to 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.000 this because because ain't no way in the locker room 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.520 you was in, or in the huddle you was in. 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.920 You you if you saw somebody was like, come on, man, 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.520 let's win. It was always serious, bro. 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.120 I saw it like I said, this Cole came out 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.360 like it was game set. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.800 Bro. Every time all start, he was going for it. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.960 I'll be on the bench to start to get going 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.840 for it. Listen. And that set the tone. And that's 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:48.640 coming from our top. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:53.480 Alan Irison, you call, I'm seeing y'all like, oh, these 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:54.800 these cats are set in the tone. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.080 So it's real out here. You wouldn't hear my theory 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.440 on this. This is my theory. Tell me you feeling this? 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.760 So a long time ago, y'all, y'all don't know this. 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.880 If I'm capping at any time, stop me, okay, stop me. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:14.280 Y'all don't know this. But a long time ago, every 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.160 other seat was an old head. Matter of fact, it 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.880 was probably four five old heads before some young guys, 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:25.280 so old heads outranked and outnumbered the younger guys. Five 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.280 years later, that young guy was an old head, and 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.840 he looked up and there was more old heads. At 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:35.160 some point it started being less old heads and more 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:40.240 younger guys. Now a five week puppy and a two 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:46.000 week puppy or in the same room managing, speaking, talking, leading, 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.440 ain't nobody talking, nobody nothing. So what we are seeing 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.560 is to disconnect from the older generation, the jews. You 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.720 get from the old head and then coming in here 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.720 knowing how to actually be not only professional, but being 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.600 all star, know how to actually talk and deal with 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.880 the all star director, to say this when I'm doing 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.600 and this when I'm not doing. Uh, and then managing 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.159 your time because if not believe, we'll use you the 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.720 whole day. Hold on, I got to get some rest. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:13.800 I gotta get some shots up. And then too, I 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.040 got something I'm doing my family. You gotta honor that. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.720 Guess who teaches you how to do that, y'all? The 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.760 old head Jordan pat Ewing, fucking shaf fucking oh, the 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:24.520 old heads. Who's sitting in there? You know what I'm 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.320 nigga as sitting in there. Waitesn't here talking. It's cars, 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.119 it's music. But then the old head knowledge is going around, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.960 Tim Bodaway telling you some real shit. Sean Kimp telling 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.040 you some real shit. And this is what happened. So 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.040 by the time you get to year two, man, guess 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.680 what Kobe Man, rest in peace to my dog man. 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.080 He was nervous as fuck when we got to New York. 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.280 He didn't make it his first shit.

I was talking like, man, we're from the West. 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.439 Steve's old lass nickas me. It was I was just 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.560 on some young boys shit, right, bro. By the time 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.720 he got to year four or five, he was yeah, 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.399 that's hey, hey, hey, hey, hey hey, right yar me 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.480 And that was the energy he got that from all 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.239 the old heads who was right there, gp Sean All 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.080 those are all ole heads, charged Barkley telling us how 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.680 to how to come into it.

But bro, 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.520 this is all part of learning how to not only 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.160
