Even though 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.720 the last time I saw you, you had me eat 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:08.960 some sort of concoction. It wasn't chicken, it wasn't tofu, 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.880 it was so It was soy, David, and it's healthy 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.120 for you, and you can make soy chicken. Well, there's 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.200 no chick. Listen. My friend Sandy, she was like, you 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.040 gotta try this place. I was kind of skeptical, like 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.479 you were. It was, it was tasty, it was good, 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.200 you know what. I felt good afterwards.

That's actually 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.120 a great first question. We weren't even gonna ask this first, 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:25.440 but just like and look, so the audience knows you 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.560 know me and I call him Grayson, will call him 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.640 the professor. I know him as Grayson. We've shot commercials together, 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.959 we've actually auditioned for movies together. We've we've we've been 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.480 through the ring or to get you go again? Talking 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:40.000 about yourself, all right, let's let's let's include Dave. Dave 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.080 feels left out. No, I'm not talking about me. We're 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.200 talking about the guests. I don't care what you've done. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.200 I want to talk about what Grayson's done has done. So, Grayson, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.480 you've been You've been an actor and and a professional 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.680 basketball player. So how much time, uh, do you have 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.200 to put into the professional basketball of it all? Like? 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.400 Do these moves and everything come natural? Or is it? 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.720 When you're like an actor, you've got to be in class. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.440 You then when you get on set and you know 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.680 that you're gonna film a movie, you gotta prepare for 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.240 that movie like no other. Like what what are are 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:14.760 there similar parallels there? I think it's definitely parallels. I think, um, 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.320 no matter what you do, you're gonna have to be 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.760 committed to the craft, you know, to do anything at 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.800 a high level. Right, So being committed to craft was it. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.840 But I think there's also people different have different gifts, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.120 you know what I mean. So, like, I know, my 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:27.760 gift that I discovered when I was very young was 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.600 I was really good at emulating moves, you know. So, 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.440 like my very first move I ever learned was that 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.800 Alan Iverson crossover in fifth grade. And I was like 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.680 four ft nothing and I could like cross grown man, 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.880 you know. So I immediately realized that was a gift. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.240 But it didn't mean I didn't like work at the 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.760 craft religiously. So I think I think it's a little 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:46.880 bit of both, you know what I mean. But I 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.680 think you can't negate the hard work. Was that from 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.400 studying Ai That particular move was you just picked it 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.800 up from watching him or watching other people in the gym. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.880 My parents actually got me the skills trainer, which was 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.960 more innovative at that time. So this is like or 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.600 something like that. This dude was a skills trainer kind 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.719 of like today, right, everybody in the mom's skills trainer 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.159 in basketball, but this dude, he was really good at 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.040 teaching the footwork of off the dribble moves, really everything. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.800 But like he's specified on that, and Alan Iverson had 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.400 had been on the scene probably for like two or 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.400 three years. We kept doing this crossover. So the first 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.120 movie actually taught me was like in and out. Then 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:23.719 it was in and out crossover, and then it was 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.640 like that Iverson crossover. And so I was a fan 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.320 of Iverson, but him him breaking down the footwork and 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.000 really showing me, you know, having good coaching is valuable. 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.400 So yeah, so let me ask it like this, then, 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.080 if if it's not you, and it's just a normal 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.960 person and they'd come to you and they had no 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.400 skill set in acting and no skill set in basketball, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.720 which one? Which one do you think is gonna be easier? 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.560 Which one do you think is gonna be harder? Where 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:53.880 would you direct that that kid? Oh? That's because I 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.840 think that, Um, I think naturally, like most people will 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.479 probably say acting, but I think the skill of acting 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.440 is very estimated. You know, like like you said, I 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.720 do acting in basketball. I consider myself more of an 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.400 amateur and acting and more seasoned than basketball. And that's 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.520 because I haven't had as much time to dedicate to 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.400 that craft, you know what I mean? Whereas I liked it, 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.359 but my passion was brilliant hoops. I almost want to 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.320 say I would shoot for acting because sometimes the athletics 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.440 thing for everybody, right, and just say that even though, 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.280 but that learning curve would be tough too, So I 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.360 would say it's really hard to even choose one. I 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.080 would choose one. I would choose acting just because it's 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.840 not I think more people could be suited for that 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.440 and even get by if they're not great. Whereas athletics 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.720 it's like, hey, competition is gonna be the bar and 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.560 some people gonna measure up, some people aren't. It is true, well, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.200 because you know the professor, I keep going to go 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:49.920 Grayson the professor, his his career has been Dave kind 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.599 of that similar as to like what actors try to 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.200 how they try to make it. You know, he had 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.839 to go in audition for how professor, how many how 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.080 many people do you think that you beat out for 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.480 that spot? And like I want to say, it was 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:07.360 like two thousand three yeah, or um gosh It's hard 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.400 to say. I would say that there it was a 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:15.640 thirty three city domestic tour and five thousand people maybe 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.960 try it out each city, I'd say, like each shitty. Yeah. 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.000 So it's basically as if like, you know, you let's 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.440 just take uh, what should we take David? Like Twilight? 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.320 You know, the breakdown has just come out for Twilight 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.440 and everybody wants to be in the movie. You know. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.120 It was kind of like that, so that you know, 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.080 Rob Pattinson had to go beat out all these people, 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.280 So what is the professor? The professor had to go 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.360 beat out all these people? So what what is your 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.360 preparation you know, to go into that, because we already 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.000 know you can hoop, right, but now what you have 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.440 to do is you have to stand out. It's just 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.000 like an acting like Rob, you know, knew that he 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.720 could act, right, there's a lot of good but now 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.840 he has to go into the audition audition room and 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.800 do something that separates himself and raise another level. So 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.880 what did the professor do, you know, for his let's 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.440 call it the audition, you know, and what was your 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.920 what was your mindset? Then? Um? So I was just 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.360 coming out of one year at a community college, and 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.559 funny enough, actually played three minutes a game at community college, 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.400 like I walked on, the last man on the team, 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.400 no scholarship. And it's funny because my career was kind 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.480 of looking like a joke at that at that time. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.880 But I always had a passion for the game, so 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.400 it was the only thing I knew was the only 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.920 thing that was fun to me. So I never stopped 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.960 putting mad hours into the game. And I remember in 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.480 junior or in community college, they mayn't even step it 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:31.880 up with more practice. So I would get up in 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.640 the morning, I had just shoot, like I'd like make 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.160 a five d jumpers before a practice, like early in 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.600 the morning, six am, and then we would have open 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.120 gym or something like that around two to thirty, and 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.120 then around five would get in the weight room and 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.560 like I personally, just on my own, would come back 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.160 in and just just shoot jumpers or do whatever I 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.520 had energy for at the end of the day. And 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.680 so you know, you're looking at like five to six 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.480 hours a practice on a you know, on like a 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.600 school day, and then I would still hoop on the weekends. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.560 And I had kind of like lived my whole life 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.959 doing that. And it was interesting because I was kind 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.959 of like a late bloomer. So after my freshman year 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.200 at community college, I got like three better in the 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.880 stretch of like a few months. But I think it 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.520 was just because my maturity was late. So I always 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.880 had good offensive skills, but I really would shy away 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.440 from contact on defense and being physical. But for some reason, 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.040 right after my freshman year, it just clicked for me 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.679 and I got a little bit scrappy and I was 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.240 like actually a good defender. And so the ani Onal 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.360 Mixtape Tour came along, and it was almost like my 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.760 kind of like life dedication to the craft just paid off. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.199 It's like that whole like when preparation meets opportunity for success, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.720 the whole thing just kind of like ran together during 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.760 that trial to two thousand three, Whereas like I hadn't 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.360 had the opportunity before because it's not quite everything clipped, 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.080 so you weren't so you were just gonna go in 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.840 there and go, I'm just gonna be me. I'm not 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.240 gonna try to do anything to stay because you know, 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.360 like like these actors out here, and we know so 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.839 many of them, uh you know some of them are 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.280 like I don't. I don't try to impress or do anything. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.760 I'm just me. And then some are like, no, I 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:58.920 try to find a way to stand out in the 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.439 room because they see so many people got you. Um. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.320 So I was actually going there as a fan of 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.960 AND One. Funny enough, like I had went to the 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.520 game when they came to Oregon Portland, Oregon, like the 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.760 year before that. I live an hour south of Portland 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.080 in a little small town, So I went the game 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.280 the year beforehand, and I saw they had an open 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.440 trial and I played. I actually got to play against 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:19.880 a few of the AND One guys. But they weren't 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.600 doing the Summer Long. They weren't doing the summer long 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.920 contest for a contract winner. So this next year, I 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.480 wasn't aware of the Summer Long contest. I wasn't aware 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.320 of that, but I was aware that they may have 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.640 a trial. But if they didn't, I was cool just 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.280 watching as a fan. So my mind really kind of 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.240 like whatever, like let's just go have a good time. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.319 But when I did see there as a trial, I 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.400 was like, okay, cool, I signed up, and in my head, 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.000 I'm like, there's nothing to lose. I don't I still 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.360 don't look like a hooper, So like nobody ever really much, 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.679 and so you were like the sixteenth seed in the 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:56.000 in the West regional bracket and you're just the whole career, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.719 so like, get on, I can't wait to give it 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.400 all I got and try to show out. But I 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:03.960 really was just going up there with like, hey, I'm 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:05.800 gonna do me. There's nothing to lose. Nobody thinks I'm 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:10.160 good anyway, So let's get it in. Don't go anywhere. Hey, 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.480 Pat will be right back after a work from our sponsors. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.320 What's the the origin of the Professor? How did that 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.439 come about? Who? Who coined you with that nickname? How 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.480 did it happen? It's such a great name. Yeah, so 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.680 it's actually, um, it was on that and we'll make 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.040 it tour that first year. I think after a few games. Uh, 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.959 Duke Tango, who's famous for giving out a lot of 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:40.920 streetball nicknames, guys like Skipped to my lu Escalade. His 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.960 list goes on main Event like all these names. He 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.400 he had gave me the name the Professor because he 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:46.839 said I was schooling people on the court. But I 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.960 think he also thought that I looked I looked like 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.880 a professor. I think like with the way my hair 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.000 was at the time and how I looked, right, he 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:58.199 looked intelligent and edgecated, was his takeaway. It's like the 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.160 school and people on the court thing worked, but was 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.120 it was about the look more so? Yeah, and you 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.720 gained instant fame now Instagram and all that wasn't around, 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:07.360 so you don't know how many people were actually, you know, 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.280 following you and all that stuff. What was that like 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.120 to then like all of a sudden, you know, maybe 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.880 you know, listen, you auditioned, you got the part right, 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.240 and now all of a sudden, like people are recognizing you, 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.280 and what was what was that like? It was there 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.280 was a lot of emotions running at that time because 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.199 you know, I was virtually I was like eighteen years old. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.480 I really was like twelve mentally, like I was old 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.920 with the late bloomer. So for me, it was a 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.520 lot to take in because on one hand, it was 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.920 like a dream come true because Skip to my Loo 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.360 and Hou Sauce were as much or more my I 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.680 don't Michael Jordan Allen Iverson. So now I'm like, I'm 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.800 like playing against them, I'm on their team. Literally, like 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.960 you said one summer, it just happened. And then on 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.800 the other hand, it was kind of weird because I 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.160 was very overwhelmed with being a mainstream star, you know 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.160 what I mean, Like I couldn't even I didn't even 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.120 classify it as mainstream. Back in the day, We're on 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.920 ESPN five times, and like that's as much fewership as 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.840 an NBA thing, you know, and we had just as 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.839 much press. And it's funny too, because I didn't. I 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.680 didn't picture it like that, but I did start to 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.880 be overwhelmed with like, oh, we go to the mall, 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.959 it's a little too overwhelming, you know, Like every time 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.320 I step outside my house it's a picture time. My 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:23.240 neighbors are spying on me my backyard. You know. Certain 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.240 things like that were really overwhelming. But I got used 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:27.800 to it after like a year or two, you know, 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.800 just just got put up on games for some of 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.400 my teammates and stuff. Who's the greatest player outside of 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:37.400 the NBA that you've ever seen yourself? Greatest player ever 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.920 that you've been around outside of the m outside of 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:47.719 the n B A dang uh. Definitely, I would say 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.840 for me, probably one of my teammates I played with. Gosh, 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.680 it's hard to say one. You know, I could say 0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:04.760 um Ao Bone collect there or these guys in their prime, 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:11.880 right like Ao bone Collector or I would go with 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.440 one of those guys only because they were they were 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.240 street ball legs and they did what they did on tour. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.280 But if if they went to uh Summer Pro row 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.440 with NBA players, still kill it, like Boone was a 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:25.320 two time MVP at Brucker Park and it's heyday, you 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.680 know what I mean? And Ao um Ao won a 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.960 championship in the d League and then when you know, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.240 played with the Sixers for a little bit, a little stint, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.840 but not really like on On. So yeah, yeah, no, 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.680 for sure Bone Collector, because I've seen the respect I've 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.640 been around a lot of NBA players and seen them 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.640 on the court and in the respect that they have 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.040 for him, you know, when he was in his prime, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.040 when he would show up, it was it was pretty impressive. 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:48.680 It was pretty cool. Is he the one that I 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.920 did the commercial with? Or is yeah? So Bone was 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.360 all ball up? Um? I think, yeah, So he's the 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.240 one that crossed me and then like it froze on 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.520 me and my ankle. I think it was you know 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.800 when I first stop Boning. I was amazing. I'm like, like, 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:04.920 I knew Ai was quick, but I'm like, this is 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.680 the quickest person I've seen with the basketball, you know 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:07.920 what I mean? Like he was he had that kind 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.400 of speed. Now, what would be your top five? If 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.400 you had to pick a top five NBA team just 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.600 to start and play, uh past or current? Who would 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.120 be your top five? Oh? You're talking about just just 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:26.960 five dudes? Like, who's my team? Starting with? Oh? Man, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.680 we're gonna put Magic at the one. Okay, we're gonna 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:36.560 put Jordan at the two. Huh wait, you're not putting 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:42.440 at the two? Entertainment team or what? No? No, no, 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.840 We'll do team next. Yeah, we can do an entertainment team. 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:52.000 Magic at the one, Jordan at the two. Gosh, I'm 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.360 always conflicted. At the three? Is it is it Lebron 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.560 or Larry Bird? To go Larry, I'm gonna show respect, o. 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.040 G I'm but Larry Bird at the three, even though 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.360 I do classify Lebron's and the top players of all 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.640 time top five or whatever. For team's sake, I'm going Magic, 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.960 Jordan's Bird, Kareem abdul Jabbar at the four and shock 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:18.040 of five. Yes, yeah, not a lot of people do that. No, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.760 that's a great team. That's a dominant team for the 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.000 most the most dominant. You know, well, I think I 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.400 think people and nowadays two and part of it is 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.320 where we're at, you know, age wise. But a lot 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.440 of people forget how lethal Kareem Abdul Jabbar was. I 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.320 mean they just even on the inside, on the defensive 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.120 side of the ball. And people say he's the goat 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.120 because there's like the scoring records, he has six rings 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.040 and all that. It's not a bad argument. And uh, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.600 and though I think he was a five, you know, 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.440 put him at the four I think would seem fitting 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.680 today's NBA. But also I would think about the team dynamic, right, 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.800 A lot of people would say they would want, uh, 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.320 Magic Jordan's, Lebron and Kobe all on the same squad. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.080 I just think that was tough, right, You need like 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.600 team guys. I think nineties those guys could play team ball, right, 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.360 Dream Team, the first Dream team though they were all 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.320 mega stars. Yeah, they knew how to fit a roll 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.480 and make things work. Yeah, I agree. No, that's a 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.760 great team. The only the only other person I think 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.560 in that mix I always always is Tim Duncan. Sorry, 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:21.040 I always bring up Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan with Tim 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:25.160 at the four right, you couldn't exactly alright, you can't 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.479 go wrong with Jason Terry and Jason kitt What what 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:31.040 are you trying to throw some baths in there? He is? 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.119 He is, Hey Navinsky is a beast though like the 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:40.720 new the new version of Yeah for sure, professor. Do 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.719 you remember I don't know if you remember this, I remember, 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.000 But do you remember where we first met? First encounter, 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:51.520 first encounter? Gosh, I want to say, let's see if 0:17:51.520 --> 0:18:01.480 he gets a drum roll please, producer before before the 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:07.040 league day? Yeah, all right, we we met.

Wow. 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.320 Was it really on the semi process? Yeah? Because I 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.600 was friends with Josh Broughton and he brought me up 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.959 there and uh, and that's where we first we had 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.560 first met on that on that on that movie.
