Speaker 1: sitting up and thinking like, damn, you work this hard
Speaker 1: to get all the way here and you finish jagged
Speaker 1: off with just you doing The All Star Game used
Speaker 1: to be bro, real shit. So everybody in the league
Speaker 1: is somebody. Everybody in the league. You see that make
Speaker 1: that has a jersey, has a superpower to bring to
Speaker 1: a team. So when he made all Start and this
Speaker 1: is his first time, this is the league's chance to
Speaker 1: not only Appreciape but celebrate our players. Hey, we got
Speaker 1: super We got superheroes in this, in this goddamn thing
Speaker 1: of ours. Let's show off to his superhero. Let's show
Speaker 1: you the strongest man alive. His name is Shaq DDD
Speaker 1: and whatever. Shaq had a shoe, pepsi, whatever he had,
Speaker 1: he brought with him to that. So guess what when
Speaker 1: Jordan stepped out there, he had the all red joint on.
Speaker 1: Talking to David Letterman, he was like, man, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Jordan got on and they had the little air. Jordan
Speaker 1: was like, what it was a trampoline for you to
Speaker 1: perpetuate your platform, your brand.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: He got in the dunk contest then, so you can
Speaker 1: see the Jordan's right. He got in the jud contest
Speaker 1: because they had already strategized.
Speaker 2: But what's killing that as the social media now they say,
Speaker 2: I don't need to do that on that.
Speaker 1: Arm hit me out. It was a strategy. Ope, yeah,
Speaker 1: Nike was in on it. So guess what they already said,
Speaker 1: we got this campaign and we've seen you work out
Speaker 1: and we think you can fly. We need you to
Speaker 1: go out in the dunk contest and actually fly. So
Speaker 1: guess what he did. He was doing all dunks when
Speaker 1: he was just hanging in the air for two three seconds,
Speaker 1: hanging in the air for two three seconds, hanging in
Speaker 1: the affritude. And then what I'm saying, here come this air,
Speaker 1: Here come this air campaign about walking on there and
Speaker 1: guess what we all did. Everybody in this room. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about everybody who holding the camera. We went in
Speaker 1: the backyard and I ain't gonna lick he I feel
Speaker 1: for about one and a half seconds. I don't know
Speaker 1: about y'all, but my firens fell like like man with
Speaker 1: Joey was kicking his legs and sick. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is who I want to be.
Speaker 2: You start wearing it on socks like that the knee breaking.
Speaker 1: My knee got hurt because I started wearing it. Shit, Lord,
Speaker 1: listen to me. I'm seeing all this is saying that
Speaker 1: it perpetuated whatever you were selling. Yeah, now in the
Speaker 1: world of I've seen it already. What color wave you
Speaker 1: come in with, I've already seen your one, two and three,
Speaker 1: give me four, five and six. Now that trampoline no more, bro,
Speaker 1: it's on display. Now you're on platform eighty.
Speaker 2: Everywhere twenty four seven, twenty seven.
Speaker 1: So that's the burnout. I'm thinking that we are burning
Speaker 1: not only All Stars out, but we're burning the viewership. Bro,
Speaker 1: We're watching so much basketball that I'm going, oh shit, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm over there, Okay, give me something else. We ain't
Speaker 1: even let the Boston Celtic young boys grow. We ain't
Speaker 1: let Gunnis go into what we just want the next
Speaker 1: right now, because that's what it's giving. You think about
Speaker 1: our stars last year, Nate, right now, if you was
Speaker 1: to go back and look at All Stars from two
Speaker 1: years ago, and who's on that list. Zion's on that
Speaker 1: list Ingram's on that list, Rents on that list, Bro,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't know none of us list Listen more older,
Speaker 1: you hear what I'm saying. So as I'm watching the
Speaker 1: league progressive with the waves, man, the league just gonna
Speaker 1: have to catch up, sit down with the guys and
Speaker 1: really have a real conversation about, Hey, how can we
Speaker 1: make this better? Why are y'all not being as competitive
Speaker 1: in the game as y'all are when y'all go to
Speaker 1: play next Thursday or that Wednesday? Because that Wednesday, I'm
Speaker 1: being honest, that's when people start disconnecting. You ever, see,
Speaker 1: if you go back, you can go back on almost
Speaker 1: the last ten years that you can find right at
Speaker 1: that Wednesday game. This nigga's getting blown out like seventy
Speaker 1: to night, like because they already got already getting ready
Speaker 1: for the break. So why would you even play that game.
Speaker 1: I would give Listen, Monday, it should be the last day.
Speaker 1: You got to give some time for the stars to
Speaker 1: actually enjoy the break. And whether it's four games and
Speaker 1: then boot and they all show up Thursday, it's something.
Speaker 1: But the stars are tired. The stars are burned out
Speaker 1: and they need a rest, and no one wants to
Speaker 1: say it.
Speaker 2: Yeah they know it. They that's why they stand. And
Speaker 2: they extended to days TI we had no rest. We
Speaker 2: played Sunday, Doll. I would literally every All Star game.
Speaker 2: I never spent the night. I was on the jet
Speaker 2: go out of there to the next city we played
Speaker 2: because we got practiced the next day.
Speaker 1: So all that's going on.
Speaker 2: So now they get like Monday off, Tuesday, Wednesday, they
Speaker 2: get at least a few days.
Speaker 1: We got no days. Niggas not even playing the whole season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're playing games anyways, you're sitting out anyways. You hear
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's not like this nigga's playing eighty
Speaker 1: two games. See, he's playing forty five fifty games at
Speaker 1: the most. You understand.
Speaker 2: So what what is it that can bring the All
Speaker 2: Star Game back in Because I'm saying it's dead.
Speaker 1: It ain't us. It's dead, it ain't us. This is
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. The league gonna have to sit down
Speaker 1: with the players of the future, the job morants, all
Speaker 1: the guys who finish characters for the next fifteen years.
Speaker 1: This is y'all, okay, how can we make this better?
Speaker 1: Because we want to. All the league wants is a
Speaker 1: more competitive game. And then you're gonna hear the young
Speaker 1: boys start talking. And if they don't talk, all the
Speaker 1: old heads go to make their decisions. The young boys
Speaker 1: got to step up and speak up for the younger generation. Y'all.
Speaker 1: You're in tired of how's being ran, and you gotta
Speaker 1: speak up and you gotta say what it is, what
Speaker 1: y'all want. Y'all want more of this, less of this
Speaker 1: because you see where it is going now going.
Speaker 2: I saw too, and I've been seeing this for years,
Speaker 2: you know, like when we talk about the best players
Speaker 2: or the league is becoming a European league and our
Speaker 2: top Europeans Luca and Joker, they yn John They could
Speaker 2: care less about the All Star Game. And that's fine,
Speaker 2: but how can I How can I see one of
Speaker 2: them as the face of the league.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: With that type of attitude, I can't like see one
Speaker 2: of them being the face. So whoever's next in line,
Speaker 2: whoever's gonna be the face of the league? I need
Speaker 2: to I need to see it at all times. Bro,
Speaker 2: you gotta be like, come on, like, who who's in
Speaker 2: that line? I gotta Tatum in that line.
Speaker 1: Jonas Janis is the champion out of all the young boys.
Speaker 1: But now, but I don't want to hear I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear you say I don't watch basket If yo, listen,
Speaker 1: if somebody you care about coming to you say some
Speaker 1: real ship, you gotta take it into count he tells you,
Speaker 1: I don't watch basketball, so you got to play, oh ship?
Speaker 1: So I'm a fan, like I get to at the
Speaker 1: dude who the face of the league. To be passionate
Speaker 1: about this.
Speaker 2: I love this ship. That's I'm saying. I need I
Speaker 2: need to feel their their pain and there when they
Speaker 2: hit the pinnacles, you know, and now when you're telling
Speaker 2: me you're making fifty million, sixty million dollars a year
Speaker 2: and you don't watch like for me as a fan,
Speaker 2: as a fan, as a fan, as an older fan,
Speaker 2: as an older fan, I'm thinking like that. He generation
Speaker 2: has multiple interest and they don't think like that.
Speaker 1: You hear what I'm saying to you. So I want
Speaker 1: me as a fan of a fan of that players
Speaker 1: to face the league. I need him to be invested
Speaker 1: in all phases of it, because that's showing me. You know,
Speaker 1: when my kid who I want him to emulate, I
Speaker 1: want him to emulate that player.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's passionate about it. That that's like saying, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: I like like I work, I work out in the morning,
Speaker 2: six am, I watch film, I do my weights. That's
Speaker 2: why I want my son to be watching emotions about it. Yeah, exactly, exactly,
Speaker 2: exact exactly. So now I'm not I'm trying to pick
Speaker 2: out today who is that player?
Speaker 1: Today? I just told you is the face?
Speaker 2: But he just said I don't watch basket.
Speaker 1: Okay, then that's a real conversation you gotta have. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. You cannot address the problem if you
Speaker 1: keep looking over Okay, you didn't like that answer, but
Speaker 1: that's the answer. Pepe. Okay, that's what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: now guess what we need to We need to work
Speaker 1: with that because guess what he's talking for a whole
Speaker 1: generation who else don't like watching basketball? Then nobody else.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that answer is, but I
Speaker 1: bet it's more than what you think it is. And
Speaker 1: this is the interest in the young guys. So you
Speaker 1: think kids today don't watch absolutely not. And that's the
Speaker 1: issue of the league every not only the issue with
Speaker 1: the league, but the issue with NFL, issue with MLB,
Speaker 1: issue with NHL. Somebody's trying to figure out how to
Speaker 1: get eyeballs. Everybody's start thinking of an old traditional way
Speaker 1: to get linear eyeball.
Speaker 2: How you get better, bro? Because I think my game
Speaker 2: was built off watching tape video recording games, you know,
Speaker 2: rewatching them looking at this player, trying to emulate this player.
Speaker 2: So kids is just like not trying to emulate nobody
Speaker 2: no more and not watching.
Speaker 1: They just looking for the clip they.
Speaker 2: So they can give you the this or or to
Speaker 2: this or that's what they that's what they in search
Speaker 2: of that highlight.
Speaker 1: This, because that's what you're gonna watch because that's what
Speaker 1: you're gonna watch. That's what you're gonna watch. And they
Speaker 1: looking for what put eyeballs on the table? What's gonna
Speaker 1: put eyeballs? And watch this while they watching this peak.
Speaker 1: You know why they're watching this piece because we can
Speaker 1: say ship that the league can't say. We can say
Speaker 1: ship that players playing right now are thinking. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: ain't speaking for nobody. I'm telling you what a mindset
Speaker 1: of a nigga who work and play eighty two games
Speaker 1: and gotta come in the All Star Game. You got
Speaker 1: paid another two hundred and fifty thousand to bring his
Speaker 1: family here. Get out of here, right, y'all want y'all
Speaker 1: feel sorry for me, but guess what this is the
Speaker 1: real parts of it. I don't get no rest in here.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say like when we played in the
Speaker 2: All Star Game, Dad, we didn't. We didn't bullshit because
Speaker 2: there was some bullshit going there. But I know one
Speaker 2: thing that fourth quarter come it.
Speaker 1: Was all bullshit. Where you entertaining entertain It's like entertaining,
Speaker 1: but listen, you gonna be said, I'm riding, but you
Speaker 1: go to dunk. I'm not trying to hide your job,
Speaker 1: hotch Yeah right, man, d Wade broke cold news. Lord. Yeah,
Speaker 1: were always serious. Let's keep this one, honey, bro. We're
Speaker 1: just looking for a good game, that's all. Okay. Boom
Speaker 1: oh shit, I gotta switch up and see it. Niggah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you pull up for the three. Okay, you pull up
Speaker 1: for the three. But if I'm going to give you
Speaker 1: some work, and I got something, and I got some
Speaker 1: incentives on this work. You gotta get this work. It's
Speaker 1: a little nigga.
Speaker 2: What I said. It come from the top. Throw it
Speaker 2: come from the playoffs. The players are the answer to
Speaker 2: this because because ain't no way in the locker room
Speaker 2: you was in, or in the huddle you was in.
Speaker 1: You you if you saw somebody was like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: let's win. It was always serious, bro.
Speaker 2: I saw it like I said, this Cole came out
Speaker 2: like it was game set.
Speaker 1: Bro. Every time all start, he was going for it.
Speaker 1: I'll be on the bench to start to get going
Speaker 1: for it. Listen. And that set the tone. And that's
Speaker 1: coming from our top.
Speaker 2: Alan Irison, you call, I'm seeing y'all like, oh, these
Speaker 2: these cats are set in the tone.
Speaker 1: So it's real out here. You wouldn't hear my theory
Speaker 1: on this. This is my theory. Tell me you feeling this?
Speaker 1: So a long time ago, y'all, y'all don't know this.
Speaker 1: If I'm capping at any time, stop me, okay, stop me.
Speaker 1: Y'all don't know this. But a long time ago, every
Speaker 1: other seat was an old head. Matter of fact, it
Speaker 1: was probably four five old heads before some young guys,
Speaker 1: so old heads outranked and outnumbered the younger guys. Five
Speaker 1: years later, that young guy was an old head, and
Speaker 1: he looked up and there was more old heads. At
Speaker 1: some point it started being less old heads and more
Speaker 1: younger guys. Now a five week puppy and a two
Speaker 1: week puppy or in the same room managing, speaking, talking, leading,
Speaker 1: ain't nobody talking, nobody nothing. So what we are seeing
Speaker 1: is to disconnect from the older generation, the jews. You
Speaker 1: get from the old head and then coming in here
Speaker 1: knowing how to actually be not only professional, but being
Speaker 1: all star, know how to actually talk and deal with
Speaker 1: the all star director, to say this when I'm doing
Speaker 1: and this when I'm not doing. Uh, and then managing
Speaker 1: your time because if not believe, we'll use you the
Speaker 1: whole day. Hold on, I got to get some rest.
Speaker 1: I gotta get some shots up. And then too, I
Speaker 1: got something I'm doing my family. You gotta honor that.
Speaker 1: Guess who teaches you how to do that, y'all? The
Speaker 1: old head Jordan pat Ewing, fucking shaf fucking oh, the
Speaker 1: old heads. Who's sitting in there? You know what I'm
Speaker 1: nigga as sitting in there. Waitesn't here talking. It's cars,
Speaker 1: it's music. But then the old head knowledge is going around,
Speaker 1: Tim Bodaway telling you some real shit. Sean Kimp telling
Speaker 1: you some real shit. And this is what happened. So
Speaker 1: by the time you get to year two, man, guess
Speaker 1: what Kobe Man, rest in peace to my dog man.
Speaker 1: He was nervous as fuck when we got to New York.
Speaker 1: He didn't make it his first shit. His second year

Speaker 1: get all the stuff that come in in, then all
Speaker 1: the dope ship because you just throw it in your
Speaker 1: bag so the trainer, the trainer gets the fuck out
Speaker 1: of the way too. Don't nobody know to do that?
Speaker 1: I guess you taught me that. GP said, look, man,
Speaker 1: this is how you do it. Come in mane you
Speaker 1: come in here, you step out and doing this out
Speaker 1: for your boys, just for your mom. He was getting balls.
Speaker 1: He was just putting it in there. Then he'll go
Speaker 1: around here, man, sign the bill, man, everybody gonna sign
Speaker 1: it for GP. Right. He looked up. Lord, he had
Speaker 1: a whole bag of merch, yeah, that he had got
Speaker 1: from every year that he just threw it in the closet.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, all of this is part of All Star
Speaker 1: I said to Cod. I said, Bro, you're gonna look
Speaker 1: up and in five years, Bro, this whole room gonna
Speaker 1: be different. And that's the wave. The league got to
Speaker 1: catch up with what's going on with the wave. But
Speaker 1: that disconnect from how to be an All Star, how
Speaker 1: to go about All Star and then guess what you
Speaker 1: have gp at halftime saying all right, now just for
Speaker 1: the money. Now, when I gave the fans they have
Speaker 1: all right, just for the money, now let's go, because
Speaker 1: that money was like one hundred thousand to fifteen thousand,
Speaker 1: It was like a huge niggas just going now you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, right, So in that fourth quarter, coach,
Speaker 1: for everybody who hitters, okay, you, you and you and
Speaker 1: everybody in the huddle like this, hey man, now you
Speaker 1: can reject let's go. It's a real game. It's a
Speaker 1: real it's a real fucking gaming. That's that's all I
Speaker 1: think everybody's talking about.
Speaker 2: So how we get back to that or we never
Speaker 2: going back to that?
Speaker 1: I don't. I think we're too gone. We're too gone.
Speaker 1: I think I think if you super incentivized the.
Speaker 2: Game, what's super incentivized? Like what you're gonna tell me
Speaker 2: I make I'm coming in the game, I make fifty million.
Speaker 2: You're telling me I can win one million, Like what,
Speaker 2: I ain't tripping enough of that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, bro? A million? Still a million, people, I
Speaker 1: know it's a million.
Speaker 2: You're gonna go fights a million from my rass and
Speaker 2: not really tripping.
Speaker 1: You gotta play pe you out here, right all right?
Speaker 1: I'm my mind like, I'm just trying to think like them. Now.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, This ain't me. I love you,
Speaker 2: This ain't me. I'm just trying to think, Nah, this
Speaker 2: ain't me. I'm saying like, I'm just trying to understand
Speaker 2: that mindset. If I'm making fifty million, what's it gonna
Speaker 2: take for me to go on this All Star and
Speaker 2: change my mindset? Because right now I'm on vacation.
Speaker 1: Knowing that it's a fit, knowing that they're gonna give
Speaker 1: you million dollars after this million in cash. Just looked
Speaker 1: at it.
Speaker 2: I just looked at my account. I made a million
Speaker 2: just for making all cool.
Speaker 1: I know that that's cool. But you we got another
Speaker 1: million if you win the game. How much if we
Speaker 1: lose five hundred thousand cools? Cool with that? Okay, Now
Speaker 1: get out here. I'm gonna tell you what's going on.
Speaker 1: This is the real problem of the of the game.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be the mean. Nobody wants to get
Speaker 1: crossed up, you know, so I don't give no effort.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be the guy who. Man the other
Speaker 1: day they show, hey, y'all go for a layup and.
Speaker 2: He had the rapid shit around Tim Duncan and do
Speaker 2: some shit like like lord, he was really trying.
Speaker 1: You feel me like, we just shouldn't want to see
Speaker 1: a real game. If you can't incentivized to be out
Speaker 1: here at all Star, we shall break y'all.
Speaker 2: Y'all get all just rest something. It was only like
Speaker 2: two thousand in the game or something like that.
Speaker 1: Told you, bro, this ain't no real game though, and
Speaker 1: the players, the players are the only thing that can
Speaker 1: change this. The players gonna come out soon asan Listen.
Speaker 1: Jordan came in there. Listen. I think the players need
Speaker 1: to understand the history too. For all the players out there. Man,
Speaker 1: Mike Jordan came into Chicago and told every nigga in
Speaker 1: the Chicago locker, Hey, look the Chicago you motherfuckers don't
Speaker 1: want to play. Sit the fuck down. We ain't gonna
Speaker 1: get this product to the people in Chicago that come
Speaker 1: out pay their hard earned money to wash the all
Speaker 1: store y'all sick the fuck he told Pistons Cleveland. He
Speaker 1: told everybody in the East, y'all don't want to play
Speaker 1: sick the fuck down. Yes, straight up, that's how it's
Speaker 1: gonna go. You hear me, Who is that gonna come
Speaker 1: from today? Well, I would think Giannis, But after hearing
Speaker 1: that ship right there, I don't know Pete. I'm telling
Speaker 1: who's gonna come from. Anthony Edwards. It's gonna come from
Speaker 1: a young nigga.
Speaker 2: But he just said, you know his mind you see
Speaker 2: what his mindset. He was like the All Star gown.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just here because I'm happy to make
Speaker 2: the All Star Game.
Speaker 3: But what was it?
Speaker 2: He said something like, I'm just it ain't competitive, guys
Speaker 2: is tired. Nobody really play hard in the All Star Games.
Speaker 1: Sad bro. It's like, but he got that from them?
Speaker 1: Where he get that from? So it ain't he hear me? Now?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: The mindset that's been passed now and you know where
Speaker 1: it started with Nike in the league didn't actually put
Speaker 1: pressure on Lebron James to get in the fucking dunk.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you what. I'm gonna tell you what.
Speaker 2: Your niggas protect that nigga all the fucking time. Let's
Speaker 2: keep it sting it early. That's real you said it.
Speaker 1: You should have made that nigga getting dunk because that's
Speaker 1: now Zion Giant. All these niggas think they don't have
Speaker 1: to get in it. Real ship, you said it early.
Speaker 1: Element of defeat. The All Star Game was really a
Speaker 1: platform trampoline, a trampoline for you to show off your
Speaker 1: your brand who you are.
Speaker 2: But you got coming out, coming out fact. So now
Speaker 2: when you got social media do all that. By the
Speaker 2: time you get the All Star I mean, you already
Speaker 2: got a big enough following that you don't really need
Speaker 2: that platform. You got your own individualized platform. Help through
Speaker 2: social media helpstow pe. You know what I'm saying, I
Speaker 2: start reaches placing that you don't know. Lord, We was
Speaker 2: in social media's reading places that got everywhere around the world,
Speaker 2: and knows noticed I noticed that the.
Speaker 1: Super How social media do this? What I'm saying, can
Speaker 1: you go be seeing in two hundred and fifty countries? Yes, yes, No,
Speaker 1: everybody ain't got ig and the product? Did you notice
Speaker 1: the notice? The production understand it's not IG does not
Speaker 1: have IG did you notice? Thank you Lord, I got
Speaker 1: a form of it. Though I'm saying that the league is.
Speaker 2: I mean, so they have social media, I got it.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying the league is reaching out to places
Speaker 1: where people don't usually watch basketball or it's being new there.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. So it doesn't hurt to be
Speaker 1: on the league platform pushing what you pushing. I just
Speaker 1: think that the concept is just it's over here. You
Speaker 1: got so much these kids are doing. Bro, look at Halliburn.
Speaker 1: Halliburn was another kid that I felt like they're getting
Speaker 1: no rest this week, but it's he's the host of
Speaker 1: the city. Yeah. I think he actually got to get
Speaker 1: his brand off. He got to show his style all up.
Speaker 2: Into the production of it.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 2: I just noticed that the production. Remember of guys that
Speaker 2: come out do their little two step, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, come off the stage the fans. They just
Speaker 2: introduced the guys on the court.
Speaker 3: In my memory, where they.
Speaker 2: Come out they come out like yeah, like stage, listen,
Speaker 2: get on the stage.
Speaker 1: And another thing was a fun part about all I
Speaker 1: used to like the continuity of whatever you came up with.
Speaker 1: Came out with your dapping family. You had like a
Speaker 1: looking as you was doing whatever whatever right that comes
Speaker 1: with it. And I just think that everybody's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm too cool for that, Like, yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, that's crazy.
Speaker 3: Fall to your point about the All Star break rest
Speaker 3: and I just looked up two thousand and eight as
Speaker 3: an example. The game is on February seventeen. You guys
Speaker 3: have a game in Denver on February nineteen.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. We had one day, right move
Speaker 2: out after the game. Practice the next day. No matter
Speaker 2: what time we got in, we'll practice that evening. Say
Speaker 2: I got in three in the morning, practice that evening,
Speaker 2: and then we played.
Speaker 1: Man Taking the Truth. Man, y'all know what it is.
Speaker 1: Let's get it. You know. All Star's supposed to be
Speaker 1: where you're supposed to go and just enjoy your family
Speaker 1: and all your friends that you come and let your
Speaker 1: hair down. I'm supposed to go to all of you.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to go to Shack's Party're supposed to go
Speaker 1: to Pea's party, supposed to go to Jordan's party with
Speaker 1: all my friends. But I'm supposed to be able to
Speaker 1: enjoy the city, go to the Capitol, grill over here,
Speaker 1: the nice restaurants over here, the fifth and something over here,
Speaker 1: Like that's what they experienced. Is you're supposed to be
Speaker 1: able to go to these cities and enjoy the cities.
Speaker 1: And the league got to get back to that. We're
Speaker 1: overkilled right now, and I think less it's more. You understand,
Speaker 1: like we're throwing so much at it that it's almost
Speaker 1: like impossible to take it all in. And you feel
Speaker 1: me if you're not at the convention center, or if
Speaker 1: you ain't at the arena, or if you ain't at
Speaker 1: the hotel. You know what I'm saying. It's always been
Speaker 1: like this, but I think it just needs to be
Speaker 1: less is more, And I think you need to give
Speaker 1: the players a chance to actually enjoy the city and
Speaker 1: give time for the players to enjoy their break, because
Speaker 1: after this, you're asking them to go into a whole
Speaker 1: forty forty forty five game schedule and just go this
Speaker 1: is the only break they're gonna have, and this is
Speaker 1: the only thing. This is the only time they can
Speaker 1: actually turn off to enjoy whatever little three four days
Speaker 1: they get bro Like, come on, man, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta think about the players. But the players need five
Speaker 1: five days, bro of a real break. Some of this
Speaker 1: shit's two three days and then I meet you all
Speaker 1: off now because you gotta flying day in there. All
Speaker 1: that shit matters, bro, All that shit matters. It ain't
Speaker 1: nobody saying nothing. So yeah, the league gotta clean this up. Man.
Speaker 3: The first thing I want to ask you guys about
Speaker 3: is the Milwaukee Bucks. Dark Favers's coach ten games at
Speaker 3: them for three and seven. In those games we just
Speaker 3: talked about Gianna saying he doesn't watch tam he doesn't
Speaker 3: watch basketball. What's the worry level for the Bucks right now?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, man, I'm not worried about them.
Speaker 2: He's not worried about the Buck.
Speaker 1: You know why because all the pressures on them. If
Speaker 1: they are going to make a serious run at it,
Speaker 1: it's on them. And I don't care what kind of
Speaker 1: coach coming here and who rides you and get it
Speaker 1: in here and did it there? Doc Rivers is a
Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle, right It's up to the players. Listen.
Speaker 1: I knew p was serious about defense where he would say,
Speaker 1: hey take it, I'm sitting him baseline. When a mother
Speaker 1: fucker come to you and talk with conviction like we
Speaker 1: finna get a stop. Like that's the only thing. Like, Bro,
Speaker 1: that's the kind of focus, you know what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: when you are a championship team, Bro, the one thing
Speaker 1: I've always known that you can always rally the troops
Speaker 1: and y'all can always get us out. Championship teams think
Speaker 1: they can actually whatever's in their mind. They think they
Speaker 1: can do it as a group, and they have the
Speaker 1: communication as a group to go out there and do it.
Speaker 1: So when the team comes together with listen, if I'm
Speaker 1: honest this one, I'm saying, Hey, listen, we finna go
Speaker 1: through this, motherfucker. And then it starts in practice. And
Speaker 1: when you initiate in practice, guess what the next guy
Speaker 1: starts to actually copy and follow your lead on energy
Speaker 1: and how you doing shit and effort and all that shit.
Speaker 1: I may dive on the flow in practice to me
Speaker 1: and baby may get into his fumble. I look up
Speaker 1: P and motherfucker TA and some shit. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like that energy is infectious if you're gonna
Speaker 1: take a serious move and take a serious dive into
Speaker 1: something two feet I'm talking about straight down the rabbit hole. Bro,
Speaker 1: your lead is gonna have to stand up. But he
Speaker 1: gonna have to say some uncomfortable shit. Yeah, he gonna
Speaker 1: have to. He's gonna have to make it uncomfortable for
Speaker 1: everybody in there. And I ain't just talking about some
Speaker 1: bully shit. I'm talking about some consistency shit that he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to put on himself every night. I can't
Speaker 1: tell Peter to get through the pick and roll if
Speaker 1: I'm not showing on the pick and roll or showing
Speaker 1: like I'm supposed to, you know what I'm saying, So
Speaker 1: that initiative first has to come from your best player
Speaker 1: that's real.
Speaker 2: Till I'm a little worried about them, I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 2: tell you the truth. But at the same time, they
Speaker 2: ain't been all the way healthy, They ain't been all
Speaker 2: the way right. You know, Middleton he been in and out.
Speaker 2: Dan ain't been in and out since Doc got there.
Speaker 2: But right now is what you're gonna really see who's
Speaker 2: real from the fake. Because we always know after all
Speaker 2: Star break, all that get real.
Speaker 1: You know, we know how we.
Speaker 2: Know how the first half of the season go. Absolutely
Speaker 2: it goes through ebbs and flows. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: We we having fun, but we're serious. But we know
Speaker 2: all Star break come, and then after All Star Break come,
Speaker 2: we're putting all that extra shit down. Ain't no more
Speaker 2: hollering at these chicks or going out over here or
Speaker 2: lose dinners over here and popping bottles. We's time to
Speaker 2: tighten it up now because we know these last thirty games,
Speaker 2: if we got something to play for, and we a
Speaker 2: contender right here, and that's coming from your leader, and
Speaker 2: that's coming from your locker room, and that's like, hey, look,
Speaker 2: it's trying to buckle down now.
Speaker 1: We had our fun.
Speaker 2: The fun shit is over with our eyes is on
Speaker 2: the prize now and it's time to lock in. That
Speaker 2: gotta come from your leaders, though, So I want to
Speaker 2: see if we can see them hit the switch and
Speaker 2: second half of the season right now, because we know
Speaker 2: this is the last This is the end of the
Speaker 2: marathon right here coming up. You know, you on that
Speaker 2: last that last hour, you know, and it's time to
Speaker 2: kick it in the gear.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna see that.
Speaker 2: They gotta show me something in these next ten games,
Speaker 2: in the first ten games after All Star break, that's
Speaker 2: what you're gonna see who looking to get there. Listen,
Speaker 2: you shut the tone. You shut the tone with this
Speaker 2: first game.
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm gonna tell y'all some real shit, don't I
Speaker 1: haven't been around Doc, it's quite some time in the
Speaker 1: locker room, man, I've been seeing a real like kind
Speaker 1: of ginger. I anticipate Doctor get a little more aggressive
Speaker 1: in the second half. They're gonna start to see like
Speaker 1: him really get on that demon mode when he really
Speaker 1: want to be infectious, when he really want.
Speaker 2: Defense to have no practice time.
Speaker 1: I get it, Bro, that's another thing. Bro. You can't
Speaker 1: actually create no chemistry with no practice time. Some of
Speaker 1: the shit that's going on in the league, Bro, I
Speaker 1: have never in my life seen go into a place
Speaker 1: going to going to the account of when something is
Speaker 1: trying to get better with no preparation, And how the
Speaker 1: fuck are you girl? Somebody watching film? Bro, get the
Speaker 1: fuck out of here. Bro. Listen, listen. That's that's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. That's that's like a never you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Even even motherfuckers who say they didn't watch
Speaker 1: faim watch film. You watch film. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear that ship. You gotta watch film. You watch film,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get your ass really busted out here. Hell no,
Speaker 1: he don't watch basketball. They don't even sound right. Now
Speaker 1: you watch film, he don't watch basketball. They don't even
Speaker 1: sound right. They don't even Yeah. But anyway, I look
Speaker 1: for Doc Rivers to not only get aggressive, but I'm like, pee,
Speaker 1: these first team games gonna.
Speaker 2: Be They're gonna tell us, They're gonna tell us, tell
Speaker 2: us everything. And then this is gonna tell you who
Speaker 2: for real. We gonna see it star. You're gonna see
Speaker 2: who for real and who's serious at these first team games,
Speaker 2: at the All Star Game, because when you come out
Speaker 2: of All Star.
Speaker 1: You seventy ball to somebody gonna have a watch it.
Speaker 1: Watch how many I'm in these first five games? Watch
Speaker 1: how many All Stars have some big nights? Because you
Speaker 1: ain't read other thing.
Speaker 2: I want to tell you you got that little superpower
Speaker 2: going on that I was talking about a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago. It's gonna be a two hundred point game
Speaker 2: in the league. It'll never be a two hundred point game.
Speaker 2: We saw it in the All Star Game.
Speaker 1: If I ever see an NBA game get two hundred
Speaker 1: points the way they got in an All Star game.
Speaker 2: I'm done watching. I'm done watching. It ain't gonna be
Speaker 2: no two hundred point game in a regular season game.
Speaker 2: Because you saw it in an All Star that means
Speaker 2: they would have to look like that in a regular
Speaker 2: season And if I ever see that in a regular
Speaker 2: season game, it.
Speaker 1: Was a triple overtime. Thank you.
Speaker 2: No, it ain't gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I get it. You know what's crazy, all the old
Speaker 1: I have been taught to watch the game through these
Speaker 1: old traditional eyes. We've seen the game. We like it
Speaker 1: the way it is, and this is the new wave.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to listen. These kids got feed their polishes,
Speaker 1: shit on their fingers. You feel me, I'm being dead
Speaker 1: assd bro. In order to understand, we are gonna have
Speaker 1: to get out of this these we got to take
Speaker 1: these glasses off, put the whole one straight up. These
Speaker 1: are different lenses, you know what I'm saying. We seen
Speaker 1: it through this old lens and it's looking like it's looking, bro,
Speaker 1: sould you put that bitch in five K and it's
Speaker 1: got some color and it's moving like you know, it's
Speaker 1: got the AI in it, and you can be like, damn, what.
Speaker 2: Am I to get some of those uh is.
Speaker 1: The things those yeah.
Speaker 2: The Apple Visions. I'm gonna have to come here and
Speaker 2: doing all this ship.
Speaker 1: You don't come don't come in.
Speaker 3: Here with the next ten games for the box they got,
Speaker 3: They got some tough ones.
Speaker 1: They take the.
Speaker 3: Timberwolves, the Sixers, the Lakers, the Clippers twice, the Kings,
Speaker 3: the Suns.
Speaker 1: Hey, Nate, let me say something to you. Ain't nothing
Speaker 1: easy to lead, bro No, no, no, no, no, no. So
Speaker 1: what they think it's gonna be a cakewalker? You gonna
Speaker 1: see Orlando, Charlotte, Portland, Charlotte, came Utah. Hear me. I'm
Speaker 1: saying that they play hard. Those those teams that get
Speaker 1: beat every night, you're gonna have to beat them, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Ain't no, ain't nothing easy. Everybody's
Speaker 1: ride is hard. Christ listen. And then with Milwaukee, everybody's
Speaker 1: on everybody's on deck. Mining is the part of the
Speaker 1: season where you see the league go like this. No.
Speaker 2: Look, so you're gonna have the winners, the teams that's winning,
Speaker 2: takeoff and the teams that's losing and continue to nose die.
Speaker 3: So that's what I want to ask you guys about next.
Speaker 3: So we have under thirty games to go in the season.
Speaker 1: Under thirty twenty nine games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now they're gonna start playing home.
Speaker 1: So you guess what hold on Before you even say this,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be some rest. You're gonna see teams trying
Speaker 1: to no, no, no, what I'm saying. You're gonna see
Speaker 1: some teams trying to get up early and then try
Speaker 1: to rest their players around like late March, early April,
Speaker 1: just so that you got like a little cushion to
Speaker 1: be able to go in there.
Speaker 2: Some of them teams ain't gonna be in four, especially
Speaker 2: in the East. When you got two through six, they.
Speaker 1: All in the pain. They all are packed together. Three
Speaker 1: through eight is like this, they right packed together.
Speaker 2: They like shiit.
Speaker 1: So the question after.
Speaker 3: You, guys, which teams are most poised to make this
Speaker 3: stick push towards the end to kind of elevate themselves
Speaker 3: into that Tier one tier two status that we talk.
Speaker 1: So we are talking about everybody healthy coming back from
Speaker 1: All Star break. Who do you like? Give me your
Speaker 1: who's gonna elevate, Who's gonna elevate rods to the top
Speaker 1: on what they got straight after the draft, after the trade,
Speaker 1: Give me your West and give me your East.
Speaker 2: I think, uh, in the West, who gonna elevate? I
Speaker 2: mean in the East, start with the East. Who's gonna elevate.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch, you know who I'm gonna watch. The
Speaker 2: two teams I'm gonna watch. I'm looking for the Knicks
Speaker 2: in Indiana. I think when they are healthy, you know,
Speaker 2: based on their trades and how they put together their
Speaker 2: teams and how they you know, how they look. I
Speaker 2: mean them the two things to teams I think gonna elevate.
Speaker 2: When the Knicks get healthy, I'm i can't wait to
Speaker 2: see what they look like. Same with Indiana. I just think, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I like, I like when they're healthy, they
Speaker 2: they gonna make They're gonna scare.
Speaker 1: Some teams couple of weeks. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So there there's two teams I'm looking to kind of
Speaker 2: elevate in these last thirty games, to make a push,
Speaker 2: you know, to try to try to get home court
Speaker 2: advantage in the first round. I think both of them
Speaker 2: are are teams that can do it. Cleveland is starting
Speaker 2: to separate themselves from the rest of the guy They
Speaker 2: trying to be in that they looking like they want
Speaker 2: to be in that upper tier because right now. Ain't
Speaker 2: nobody playing better than Cleveland, Nobody playing better than Clift
Speaker 2: in the whole league over their last twenty games. I
Speaker 2: think they like eighteen and two or some shit like that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so yeah, they trying to put themselves in that tier
Speaker 2: to where they they like, we want to be in
Speaker 2: the conference finals Rus Celtics if everybody's healthy, and then
Speaker 2: our West, I think a team. I think you're gonna
Speaker 2: see a different Denver team because I feel like Denver
Speaker 2: been kind of coasting along. They've been like right there
Speaker 2: between one and four all year long. I think they're
Speaker 2: about to get there. That championship energy back now, you know,
Speaker 2: and I think they about to let teams know that
Speaker 2: we're defending champs. I look for them to beat the
Speaker 2: number one seed. I think they're gonna win the West.
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna win the West. Yeah, they three back.
Speaker 2: I think they gonna I think they gonna push the
Speaker 2: number one because they know if they get they know,
Speaker 2: if they get home court advantage throughout the playoffs, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be tough to beat them in any series. So
Speaker 2: I look for them. And then also man New Orleans,
Speaker 2: they worry me because nobody talking about them. They've been
Speaker 2: flying under the radar. Zion's been healthy this year, Ingram's
Speaker 2: been fighting. Neither one of them made All Star, and
Speaker 2: their team looking to get recognized. I think they are little.
Speaker 2: They might come out a little pissed that nobody talking
Speaker 2: about them, but they've been like right there, teetering like
Speaker 2: sh we we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna we're gonna back door, y'all. Y'all, y'all like talking
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. And then they just
Speaker 1: gonna come through the door. Shit you do when you
Speaker 1: want in the water, no, no, no, when you're just chilling
Speaker 1: right there, treadwater. They treadwater, they tradewater.
Speaker 2: I think the second half they're gonna be like, all right,
Speaker 2: it's scary, y'all, gonna y'all gonna know we're gonna get
Speaker 2: some We're gonna get some more national televised games.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's crazy, man. This team does this
Speaker 1: every year and we never give them. We never give
Speaker 1: them the shine, we never give them the spotlight, none
Speaker 1: of that. And I'm going on a I'm going on
Speaker 1: a on a different route here, so hit me out,
Speaker 1: and I'm going with consistency and coaching. I knew he
Speaker 1: was gonna say. Many body wants to see the heat
Speaker 1: from a coaching supposed when he gets to the fucking playoffs,
Speaker 1: he's probably one of the best, not only exposing but
Speaker 1: getting the best out of his talent. Bro the calet
Speaker 1: wins Man, he came on, not like you didn't. You
Speaker 1: didn't see him coming. You didn't see Straus and all
Speaker 1: those you see all those guys, Bro, those you guys
Speaker 1: got big deals in other places just by being in that.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So the heat man just
Speaker 1: cousin playoff Jimmy is a real thing. It's a real thing.
Speaker 1: It's a real thing. And he's out of anybody I've
Speaker 1: seen hit a fucking button and goes to another level.
Speaker 1: Jimmy fucking Butler. Man, I'm gonna say the heat and
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy, I'm with you on that. On
Speaker 1: the Knicks because the Niss got pieces. Now that just
Speaker 1: it just looks scary, man, if you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like you look at him like oh wow. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest. The Bucks, the Bucks got more to
Speaker 1: lose out of anybody. They got to me, they got
Speaker 1: the most pressure on them because Dame. His window every
Speaker 1: year that he doesn't win gets closed that much more.
Speaker 1: Hear me, And I think his window is probably less
Speaker 1: than three years. I'm being dead ass. He can probably
Speaker 1: play a little longer. I'm talking about at the rate
Speaker 1: that we see in Dame. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: it's out to Dame two for winning the MVP of
Speaker 1: the game. You know what I point. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, three point cham two because you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, he came and did this damn thing. But
Speaker 1: he is. Oh did you know what I'm saying? Right,
Speaker 1: that's that's the community pays the favorite. That's screaming, ego,
Speaker 1: that's a bottle of screaming. I was right there streaming screaming.
Speaker 1: I almost hit you head. Your line was busy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, he got you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying this to say that Dame is win now, Dame,
Speaker 1: it's the new KG.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: You remember when y'all, man, I felt like the whole
Speaker 1: league was rooting for me. Man Like, when I got
Speaker 1: to thirteen years now, I started seeing everybody come up
Speaker 1: to me, just everybody just like hugging me. Differently, man like,
Speaker 1: get the fuck off me, Man Like, nah, Bro, we
Speaker 1: want you to. I feel like that with Dame. I
Speaker 1: want to see Dame get one a two couple, you
Speaker 1: feel me because he liked that. So Milwaukee I got.
Speaker 1: I love what Cleveland is doing. I just don't know
Speaker 1: if Cleveland can be consistent. I love Minnesota. You know,
Speaker 1: we love these young parts with OKC. The consistency creston
Speaker 1: Mark is the thing, you know what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: off the ones that ain't nobody looking at Bro. I
Speaker 1: got Milwaukee and I got the heat in there. They're
Speaker 1: the ones I think that's gonna make the runs to
Speaker 1: where you go. Oh ship, they hitting the button. I'm
Speaker 1: worried about Philly. I'm being honest. I'm worried about Philly.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Philly just because the East is so
Speaker 1: thick and yeah, but yeah, i'mnna stick with Milwaukee and
Speaker 1: in the heat and then and then the West. Pak
Speaker 1: Phoenix Phoenix been. Oh they look like Phoenix Been like
Speaker 1: kind of giving you shades and kind of like okay, okay, bro, listen,
Speaker 1: If Bradley Bell can get any kind of decency consistence
Speaker 1: health man, they scary in the series just because you
Speaker 1: ain't really the booking. I went off a couple of times,
Speaker 1: but he ain't really debooked it. You feel me like
Speaker 1: when that I'm just looking at all the potentials of
Speaker 1: when you got all your talent healthy, was it looked
Speaker 1: like man heywood and then hey we'll go to uh okay,
Speaker 1: see that that's a solid piece. Ain't nobody talking about
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Hey, what got something to proved?
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's He's been moved around a couple
Speaker 1: of times to where now we had him at this,
Speaker 1: are we still seeing him at this? So you know
Speaker 1: he should come in with a chip on his shoulders.
Speaker 1: So I'm like Pete Man, I think Denver Gon hit
Speaker 1: the button on everybody and coming there. They finished the
Speaker 1: Gorilla from the Gorilla, You out from the Gorilla, You
Speaker 1: out here we go? You ready? You know? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And it's in two one of the
Speaker 1: things my sleeper These are sleepers. I'm going with Phoenix
Speaker 1: in Dallas because Dallas has enough superstar uh Aura in
Speaker 1: power to be able to perpetuate themselves. Not only just
Speaker 1: in games. Luca has the effect to where he can
Speaker 1: affect games. And then you gotta you gotta Kyrie, and
Speaker 1: then you got the you got the you got the

Speaker 3: Victor Webber yam and named of Louis Baton and Bastard.
Speaker 3: I want to ask you guys, you work with many
Speaker 3: brands throughout the years, what was your favorite experience working
Speaker 3: with the brand, sponsor shoes something.
Speaker 1: What comes to mind for you guys?
Speaker 2: I guess mine. For me, it was Nike one when
Speaker 2: they had that campaign with the uh you know, they
Speaker 2: was running that campaign with the dribbles, the dribbles.
Speaker 1: That was like one of my first just call it
Speaker 1: what it was, the Nike and one campaign trying to
Speaker 1: bite the whole. Yeah, like I like that. I like
Speaker 1: that one that it was hard, that it was hard,
Speaker 1: but they ship out of the air one on that. Yeah,

Speaker 1: exercises have you been doing? All right, I gotta right here.
Speaker 1: I'll show you what I just yesterday. I'll show you
Speaker 1: what I did. He was doing lateral. Yeah, me and
Speaker 1: Prince and Prince we was doing this drill right here.
Speaker 1: Look look what the call this?
Speaker 2: This is what I was doing.
Speaker 1: I record him, but I don't see you know. We're
Speaker 1: next though. We have to tap the light. Get to
Speaker 1: this light, get to the Yeah, I did next this
Speaker 1: the other day we're doing press. I don't see you
Speaker 1: I was next. I was next.
Speaker 2: We're doing the test the light. When you see the
Speaker 2: light come on, I'm lateral.
Speaker 1: Everybody think they like that till you get I am
Speaker 1: hitting him with a lot of the movement.
Speaker 3: All right, When did you guys feel and know you
Speaker 3: were coming to the end of your career?
Speaker 1: And how hard oh man, p you know what I
Speaker 1: was thinking about the other day, real ship before you
Speaker 1: even asked this snake, before Klay Thompson had a good
Speaker 1: game off the bench or whatever whatever. One of the
Speaker 1: hardest things to actually come to grips with its being less.
Speaker 1: You know, you worked your ass off to to you know,
Speaker 1: to get to a certain confidence, and then I think
Speaker 1: as soon as you get king of confidence, then some
Speaker 1: of your physicals start to start to drop a little
Speaker 1: bit and your verticuaim is high, your explosion, you know,
Speaker 1: I always said you you had like an elusive kind
Speaker 1: of game because you would look like you were so
Speaker 1: did you you know what I'm saying, So it kind
Speaker 1: of I don't I watched you as gracefully because you
Speaker 1: couldn't really, you know what I'm saying, Because you start
Speaker 1: playing the four you got there, you know, cause you shoot,
Speaker 1: so you start really stretching it, and then the league
Speaker 1: start going in that direction right right to go to five's.
Speaker 1: And the next day I looked up I was guarding
Speaker 1: shocks and I was like, what the fuck like? But
Speaker 1: I've always said that one of the hardest things for me,
Speaker 1: and you got to be real with yourself is on
Speaker 1: the decline. And that decline is real, and it's more
Speaker 1: of the physical elements because as your physical declines, your
Speaker 1: mental actually gets better. Your your confidence in what you
Speaker 1: do because you don't really do a bunch of shit.
Speaker 1: You know what you're doing, you get right to it,
Speaker 1: and you do that shit. You don't go out a
Speaker 1: bunch of extra shit. You be more effective. I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't bust, you don't use a bunch
Speaker 1: of energy in places where you don't need it to.
Speaker 1: And I got more effective as I got older, I
Speaker 1: could pass, I can shoot, but yeah, when your physical
Speaker 1: stars to go, bro, you gotta be real with yourself
Speaker 1: and yeah you gotta find ways to still make yourself effective.
Speaker 1: But that, yeah, that was one of the more harder
Speaker 1: things to go through to watch, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because p know, I love the practice. I love to prepare,
Speaker 1: and I prepare a certain way. And then those same
Speaker 1: things that actually made me, you know, the player I was,
Speaker 1: also was the things that I felt like was hurting
Speaker 1: me so because sometimes I felt like not sometimes, but
Speaker 1: sometimes the outside perspective thought that I should take a break,
Speaker 1: or I should do things a little lighter. And you know,
Speaker 1: old dog, he don't know light. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I know what I know. I got here like this
Speaker 1: and if I could do one thing, I probably would
Speaker 1: have took my foot off the gas a little bit
Speaker 1: at the end, just because you know, going hard with
Speaker 1: what I knew, you know what I'm saying. But it
Speaker 1: was it was real hard for me, how about you.
Speaker 2: When I knew it was the end, I was like,
Speaker 2: all right, well just to Clint and no, no, I
Speaker 2: mean I knew. I was like once I left Boston.
Speaker 2: I knew I was gonna take a lesser role anyway,
Speaker 2: which I was cool with, you know, for carrying a
Speaker 2: heavy load for so many years.
Speaker 1: You know, so I was cool with that, you know,
Speaker 1: not having to be at the.
Speaker 2: Forefront of just like pressure on me to go out
Speaker 2: here and lead the top scorer and top defender on
Speaker 2: this guy.
Speaker 1: So I knew that. So I was cool with playing
Speaker 1: that role for a few years. You know.
Speaker 2: I thought though, when I knew it was like, man,
Speaker 2: it's probably time to retire. So, you know, I got
Speaker 2: to Washington and we had a cool year. I called
Speaker 2: game and then I was like damn.
Speaker 1: You know. I went to the Clippers and I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: I can probably help the Clippers get over the top.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I could be that dude down the stretch, you know
Speaker 2: that that that X factor. But when Doc didn't start
Speaker 2: me after I called game and I was coming off
Speaker 2: the bench and Wesley Johnson was in front of me,
Speaker 2: I knew it was the end.
Speaker 1: It was the end.
Speaker 2: I knew it was the end. I was like, damn,
Speaker 2: I musta sin't got it no more.
Speaker 1: Doc. I'm here with Doc and he I just call game,
Speaker 1: Like what's going I just call game, and now I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: I can you know, at least come here play a
Speaker 1: starting role. But I started coming off the bench and
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, all right, you know, coming
Speaker 1: off a bench as a whole nother mindset, bro, because
Speaker 1: you know, as an older player, you know when you
Speaker 1: used to start in so many years and then you
Speaker 1: coming off the bench, you you don't know how to
Speaker 1: prepare for that. You know, because I'm in layup line,
Speaker 1: I'm stretching and I'm getting a good lather and then
Speaker 1: I'm sitting down. So now I done went through all
Speaker 1: this as an older player. Now I'm sweating. So now
Speaker 1: I might sit down in real time if you just
Speaker 1: talking about not clock time, real time, I might be
Speaker 1: sitting down for like thirty minutes seven twenty seven. Shake
Speaker 1: your leg a so just mentally and physically.
Speaker 2: And it's a different mindset like that you got to
Speaker 2: prepare for and you kind of liking shock. So now
Speaker 2: you come in here and you don warmed up, then
Speaker 2: you get cold, you know, coming off the business for
Speaker 2: young dudes, you know what I'm saying, Like an older dude,
Speaker 2: if you still in the league, you either start or
Speaker 2: you just just time to retire you straight up if
Speaker 2: you ain't.
Speaker 1: Keeping it one hundred. Did you think he was better
Speaker 1: than Wesley? Yeah? I did.
Speaker 2: I thought I thought I should start.
Speaker 1: Did you go to doctor and have a conversation or
Speaker 1: you just like, you know what?
Speaker 2: I was like, fall back. I'm gonna fall back. You
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I'm gonna see how this play out.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. And then it was just
Speaker 2: like I wanted to retire after the first year, but
Speaker 2: I was just like, you know what, I'm gonna come
Speaker 2: back one more year. And I didn't even play hardly ever,
Speaker 2: But I want to get back to the young dudes.
Speaker 2: I want to show them how to prepare. I want
Speaker 2: to show them what it meant to be a pro.
Speaker 2: And that's the end. I was home and so I
Speaker 2: was just like, all right, I know this is my
Speaker 2: last year. So I'm gonna get again. I'm gonna get
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna do the same ship i've been doing.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get the practice early, I'm gonna live, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get my shots up. I'm gonna bring the young
Speaker 2: boys in. We're gonna go one on one. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: show them what it's like to be a pro. And
Speaker 2: so I gave them that, and then I was like,
Speaker 2: all right, this is it, So.
Speaker 1: Say you start. You think that would have perpetuated you
Speaker 1: to a couple more years with the Clippers. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know that. Keep playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the love was the love was there for sure
Speaker 2: because I saw, I said, I was still coming in early.
Speaker 2: I was still coming in early, getting shots up, doing drills,
Speaker 2: swam on the treadmill. Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I was still coming in early. I'm coming out. We
Speaker 2: got practice at tea and I'm there at like eight.
Speaker 2: I'm there at eight making making sure y'all get in there.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get our lift, we're gonna run, we're gonna
Speaker 2: go ones, and then we're gonna do some shooting and
Speaker 2: then y'all can get on the training table and get ready.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was giving them that. How was they recepted to that?
Speaker 2: All the veteran They was respectful of it, though, there
Speaker 2: was respectful because I but I wasn't no other See,
Speaker 2: this is where I saw the disconnect from the other veterans.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, And this is what we
Speaker 2: see today. It's a disconnect from the OG's in the
Speaker 2: league now and the young fellas. And this is when
Speaker 2: I first saw it. When I got to the Clippers,
Speaker 2: none of the older players was messing with the young
Speaker 2: dudes at all. I was just like, damn, Like I
Speaker 2: would love to see Chris Paul or DeAndre or Blake
Speaker 2: come in here and take one of these young boys
Speaker 2: and let them work with them sometime like early, or
Speaker 2: go out with them to dinner. You know, maybe they'll
Speaker 2: work with them here and there. But like it wasn't though, like,
Speaker 2: young fella, let's go to dinner, or let's all sit together.
Speaker 2: You know, we'll have breakfast, you know how we have
Speaker 2: breakfast and shoot on the road and breakfast club. We'd
Speaker 2: be all sitting together talking about, you know, whatever y'all
Speaker 2: going talking about. It was like I come in the
Speaker 2: breakfast room. Nobody's sitting with each other. I'm telling you, Lord,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, nobody sitting with each other. I'm sitting there, car,
Speaker 2: I'm looking like, damn, he over here, he over here,
Speaker 2: Like what's going on? And that's when I noticed the disconnect, bro,
Speaker 2: And I was just like, damn, you know what, it's
Speaker 2: time for me to get on because I ain't never
Speaker 2: been on a team that we ain't.
Speaker 1: We all always came together. He ain't try to bring
Speaker 1: it together. I did.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm telling you I did. But it was
Speaker 2: just like you know, at that point in my career,
Speaker 2: ticket I'm tired. I didn't want to do I want
Speaker 2: to come here, give to the young boys. You know,
Speaker 2: hopefully we can make a run. But it was just
Speaker 2: too much mentally at this point. Towards the end, it
Speaker 2: was up to them, you know, it was up to
Speaker 2: them leaders to do that. I know, I'm at the
Speaker 2: end and I'm like, man, I'm gonna just take the
Speaker 2: young boys under my wing and I'm gonna rock with them,
Speaker 2: and you know, the captains and y'all figure this out.
Speaker 2: I if it's something in the middle where I see it,
Speaker 2: I see it. I see it, and I said it once,
Speaker 2: I say it. It's up to y'all to try to
Speaker 2: mend it now. And so it has just been too
Speaker 2: much on me every day. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: I want to come get my work in, and I
Speaker 2: was ready to go home.
Speaker 1: You understand, that's the definition of what they what they
Speaker 1: are probably perceiving as a veteran leader because when I'm
Speaker 1: got too minutes, I had younger guys. I had Zach,
Speaker 1: Livine Jue Wiggins, and I had Cat And they were
Speaker 1: three young young stars that have n't blossomed yet, right
Speaker 1: right right. Drew Wiggins had probably the most talent out
Speaker 1: of all three of them. Zach was probably the most
Speaker 1: naturally and raw ass because he would go times where
Speaker 1: he had to play the point guard and look like
Speaker 1: what the fuck is this? And then you'll slot him
Speaker 1: to the two and he'll be looking like Air Jordan
Speaker 1: out this small fucker. He had the ability to put
Speaker 1: shots together and make shots in overtimes and in fourth
Speaker 1: quarters that I have never seen a young boy dude before.
Speaker 1: Then Cat he was. He had the charisma and kind
Speaker 1: of the Cat had. He had the it seemed like
Speaker 1: he was already a pro. You know. Cat would come
Speaker 1: in and knew how to do an interview, spoke like
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like he was real polished
Speaker 1: to be like a young guy. So come in and
Speaker 1: watching these three guys, and then I had to have
Speaker 1: uncomfortable conversations or have uncomfortable situations with all of them
Speaker 1: to where Zach's that next to me, and I would
Speaker 1: you know some nice you know, I'll have to tell
Speaker 1: him some real shit, and you know it came off
Speaker 1: and you know it's crazy. He actually took criticism very well.
Speaker 1: His dad was really hard on him. He came from
Speaker 1: like tougher backgrounds. But when I got into the minutes,
Speaker 1: when I came to Minnesota, Man, I noticed right away
Speaker 1: Rubio was the kind of the vet of the voice.
Speaker 1: And when I came in, I just saw everybody look
Speaker 1: at me as hey, what do we do? And you know,
Speaker 1: if anybody know me, man, I'm a natural leader, meaning
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna go out here and I'm gonna show you.
Speaker 1: So you know, I didn't really talk a lot. But
Speaker 1: in practice, man, I was super competitive. You know. I
Speaker 1: mean practice, but I'm on one leg and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do whatever whatever. But damn we are you know, Sam
Speaker 1: got these niggas fuck out everybody in the line go.
Speaker 1: So I was you know what I'm saying, I'm jumped
Speaker 1: back in the rookie year so to not have to
Speaker 1: show any favoritism or just you know, because I can't.
Speaker 1: I'm too good. I'm eighteen years into this now, I
Speaker 1: jump in the line. Now I actually try to beat
Speaker 1: these niggas, and Lord, I was actually finna beat. I'm
Speaker 1: finna beat, gonna be everybody in the line. One day
Speaker 1: and Andrew Wiggins saw that. Lord, Andrew Wiggins tapped into
Speaker 1: a whole nother all hell on all and that's what
Speaker 1: I saw, Bro, you bullshitting. You got another level to you,
Speaker 1: And that's what I started pushing out. Then I start
Speaker 1: working with Now you give him this, give him and
Speaker 1: make his ask f I did, and then I start
Speaker 1: seeing my my I guess my influence of not just
Speaker 1: how you work, but just how you work. And I
Speaker 1: was on that. I was on that uncle ship and
Speaker 1: you put you you know, I was on some on
Speaker 1: some uncle ship. You know what I'm saying. I want
Speaker 1: they big brother. But I was like the uncle, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And then they they wanted that.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing the young kids don't know how
Speaker 1: to initiate. They don't know how to come up to
Speaker 1: me and say hey, O g like oh yeah. I
Speaker 1: got to be like, hey, what's up? We are you good? No, gimy,
Speaker 1: I hurt my ankle the other day. Man, look at this,
Speaker 1: and you know, what I'm saying. You feel me like
Speaker 1: the younger generation is not the generation to go up
Speaker 1: to you and initiate anything. And if they do, they're
Speaker 1: fucking nervous and they're shy at shit, and everybody's scared
Speaker 1: of rejection these days. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I find it that when I go up to
Speaker 1: a young fella, s up, young fella, you good, off
Speaker 1: the slap, now, grip him mouther like, yeah, you good,
Speaker 1: look him in his face, and then you'll see it.
Speaker 1: And then I try to initiate the conversation to get
Speaker 1: it going, and then once it's going, you'll get the interaction.
Speaker 1: So I think it's on the vest. I think it's
Speaker 1: on the vest to initiate a lot of the conversation.
Speaker 1: I think it's on the vest to initiate a lot
Speaker 1: of the a lot of the the knowledge and the exchange.
Speaker 1: But a lot of times too, I'm being honest, man,
Speaker 1: these young boys feeling theirself too. So young boy might
Speaker 1: not might be wanting to hear what Pete talking about. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm doing me shit, I would use young like me once, right,
Speaker 1: So some of the young boys don't want to hear
Speaker 1: no direction they doing it how they want to do it.
Speaker 1: So but guys like that, I'm like, you know, kudos,
Speaker 1: go ahead, bro, you got it. And it always it
Speaker 1: always come back around like the boomerang. You feel me,
Speaker 1: nigga fucked up? Something came back og man. And that's
Speaker 1: being young. You know what I'm saying. Everybody here who
Speaker 1: is young can understand that. But it gotta be more.
Speaker 1: I think stuff like this All Star to me should
Speaker 1: be where the young guys and the older guys have
Speaker 1: a safe place in a median to sit and just chop.
Speaker 1: Because I know this about young people. They love to
Speaker 1: hear your stories. They love to hear how up? Man
Speaker 1: did you man? The first thing Jenniber asked, men, did
Speaker 1: juwe p every fight we got on camera? And he goes, man,
Speaker 1: juie p every fight? Say Dad, we ever fight? Man?
Speaker 2: I fought with our whole team.
Speaker 1: Damn your fault. But you know, out of that and
Speaker 1: then it wasn't necessarily a scrap of none. It was
Speaker 1: like a verbal and all it is is that Pete
Speaker 1: believes in something. I believe in something. And then we
Speaker 1: meet in the middle.
Speaker 2: You know what they need to do? What All Star Weekend?
Speaker 2: They need to have the ogs with.
Speaker 1: The current lunch brunch. Mm, that'd be hard and just
Speaker 1: sit and chill. We get at the tables. All that
Speaker 1: hard because niggas break bread bread like we're in there.
Speaker 2: We all having a brunch. That's what the that just
Speaker 2: to keep that connect every year, it should be an
Speaker 2: annual thing to where you got ex NBA players with
Speaker 2: the current brunch.
Speaker 1: Because they need to hear the mindset because I love
Speaker 1: to hear shot.
Speaker 2: We get in the room with them and we have
Speaker 2: just convos and and chop it up.
Speaker 1: And it's different when this camera is on. When this
Speaker 1: camera is off and these mics are off, that we
Speaker 1: speak so candidly, we speak so right to it when
Speaker 1: all this cameras and ship and all y'all producers and
Speaker 1: everybody off the room. Man, the nig can be some atmosphere.
Speaker 1: You hear me, Nigga be some You feel me.
Speaker 2: That's that's gonna Adam, if you listen, that's this we
Speaker 2: need to have that, Adam launching the lunching with the
Speaker 2: current All Stars and just ex NBA players brunch at
Speaker 2: All Star weekend.
Speaker 1: Right, We're gonna have a big baby. That's how you
Speaker 1: keep the connect man, we need some good drilling and
Speaker 1: we need some of them tacos from the You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We're gonna tap in the f a
Speaker 1: get get the food. Right, We're gonna have a good
Speaker 1: old shin dig in. There ain't no cameras allowed in here.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Right, We're gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: be the shin dig. You know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 1: need a good player player shin dig straight up. We
Speaker 1: need amigo and ego. That's what we need. Friend the friend,
Speaker 1: feel me, hear me out. So the problem I have
Speaker 1: with the league is this, and this is all positive.
Speaker 1: This is all positive to me. This is all positive, ridicule,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. But the league has
Speaker 1: replaced what you love and the players that have built
Speaker 1: the league for entertainers. I look on the sideline now
Speaker 1: I'm seeing NFL players. I see I see a fucking artists,
Speaker 1: I see recording artists, I see actors, I see everything
Speaker 1: excepted I see. I thought I saw doctor j H.
Speaker 1: I thought I saw. I don't see Ai. I don't
Speaker 1: see I see Pe. I ain't see I ain't see
Speaker 1: none of guys. I ain't see magic. I ain't see
Speaker 1: none of the guys to help build the league. I see.
Speaker 1: I thought I see Larry Bird, he was there. I
Speaker 1: saw wanted to. I think I seen Bill Walnan in
Speaker 1: something like you know what I'm saying. But it wasn't
Speaker 1: like players that I wanted to go and down to
Speaker 1: shake they like you remember man up Man. I was
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Man, Big Will was there about you feel me? Bro, Bro,
Speaker 1: you gotta bro, you wanna if you want to. It's
Speaker 1: the fraternity, Bro. And I never watch an NFL something
Speaker 1: to see NBA players in the NFL setting and nothing.
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't, they don't, they don't cross breathing,
Speaker 1: none of that shit, you understand. I'll watch a celebrity
Speaker 1: game and I'll see I'll see a death jam artist
Speaker 1: in that motherfucker. I'll see an NFL player that motherfucker.
Speaker 1: I see a UFC. I'll see everybody that's outside of
Speaker 1: the NBA in that game, you understand. So I think
Speaker 1: that the league needs to get back to bringing the
Speaker 1: fraternity back together. You brought us back for seventy five
Speaker 1: and I thought Cleveland was dope. Bo. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: taking that same energy in LA or taking it to
Speaker 1: San fran You understand like that's a different type of energy,
Speaker 1: and that's a different type of energy in the building
Speaker 1: in which if you're a content maker, you know what
Speaker 1: you're doing. You can sit there and just eat all
Speaker 1: day off there. You feel me, And that's what I
Speaker 1: think we need to get back to. We need to
Speaker 1: get back to the one on one basketball, one on one.
Speaker 1: We're getting too it's getting too dressing. Now you said
Speaker 1: it's an event. It's an event company entertainment. It's starting
Speaker 1: to look like entertainment. It's not a game. So we
Speaker 1: need to get back to it looking like a game.
Speaker 1: Fuck this event. Shit, let the events be outside of
Speaker 1: the game. Niggas showing up paying tickets. Two it's too
Speaker 1: expensive too, Bro, two thousand us some four hundred man,
Speaker 1: get the fuck out of here. Bro. Don't do that
Speaker 1: to the fan and want to come in here and
Speaker 1: get this experience. M Bro, fuck out of here, because

Speaker 1: the cracking game and we went down the street and
Speaker 1: took the dopest West fourth or put it indictments somewhere. Bro,
Speaker 1: we can make the cracking game. Damn. There more Cracking, boy,
Speaker 1: don't get me started. And they're gonna have to take

Speaker 2: What about you? Damn Cole's performance. You've seen the coldest
Speaker 2: performance I seen. Well, shit, one of them was against
Speaker 2: me when Bron came into Boston game six. When Bron
Speaker 2: Game sixters, I mean, but you gotta understand that the
Speaker 2: game right there for Bron was like when Jordan got
Speaker 2: over the instance. Bro, that was like he had to
Speaker 2: have that game, and I think that changed his career.
Speaker 2: But that game was unbelievable because because he was hitting
Speaker 2: shots that I wanted him to take fadeaways threes, you know,
Speaker 2: instead of him getting to the basket.
Speaker 1: I forgot about it.
Speaker 2: It's that game. And then the other game was Bron. Also,
Speaker 2: I thought this was the best game I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: A human play. I thought it was damn there the
Speaker 2: perfect game. It was Game one versus Golden State. And
Speaker 2: this is when I was working doing the game broadcast,
Speaker 2: and the Game one versus Golden State in Golden State.
Speaker 2: In Golden State, I think they still lost the game.
Speaker 1: The j R.
Speaker 2: Smith Game, that's the best game I've ever seen somebody
Speaker 2: play live. I was just like, dude, did everything possible.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: I think he down there played the perfect game. Bro,
Speaker 2: I'm watching this. I'm actually watching the game like it
Speaker 2: ain't nothing more you can humanly do on a basketball court.
Speaker 1: I forgot about it.
Speaker 2: I think he had about like fifty six or forty
Speaker 2: nine around that. Yeah, yeah, what do he had that game?
Speaker 2: He had about fifty one? Yeah, I mean, but just
Speaker 2: the way he played the game, it was like it
Speaker 2: was like he orchestrated everything. It was like because Golden State,
Speaker 2: I didn't think they could even beat Golden State. They
Speaker 2: should have won that game. And if they win Game one,
Speaker 2: I truly believe they would have won the chip that year.
Speaker 2: But that game game won.
Speaker 3: The j R.
Speaker 2: Smith Game was the best game I've seen live. Vich
Speaker 2: Carter has a spectator. I played Vince Carter one time doog.

Speaker 1: going to Seas because we finished see the Siege take another.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the Seas like really hitting overdrive.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I think I think these
Speaker 1: first five games too, so the whole league are all messages.
Speaker 1: Real shit, these these first five games that every team
Speaker 1: has to come out of, you need to come out
Speaker 1: with a message. I'm talking about signature wins. And when
Speaker 1: you're supposed to beat the teams you supposed to be,
Speaker 1: you supposed to demolish them and the teams that you
Speaker 1: know on the same tier. You can win those games
Speaker 1: and go five hundred of those games. Those are gonna
Speaker 1: Those are the teams I'm looking forward to go like,
Speaker 1: and the Celtius are one of those teams. So I'll
Speaker 1: own Listen, the Knicks got something to prove and to
Speaker 1: build this robbery. If the Nists can win at home,
Speaker 1: it makes this robbery or it makes this this matchup
Speaker 1: a little more livelier for later on. So I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised that Jay and Brunton went crazy and this
Speaker 1: motherfuck you feel me? Yeah, but I'm going with the Seas.
Speaker 1: The Seeds look like they locked and loaded, especially when
Speaker 1: they got Paisingers. Yeah, everybody off the break, everybody's ready, Yeah,
