Speaker 2: to the Bay Area to do some shows like Soldier Mischief,
Speaker 2: you know, and so uh OJ is on the fucking
Speaker 2: four or five that day. Really, so we're literally way
Speaker 2: to start the day watching OJ and his boy on
Speaker 2: in the Bronco Yeah, man, in a major way. So
Speaker 2: we're watching this and we're missing planes. The guys don't
Speaker 2: want to leave their their glued to the TV. So
Speaker 2: I'm booking other flights. Okay, we can get you know,
Speaker 2: it's the Bay. There's a flight every hour. Okay, well
Speaker 2: make sure, make sure, make sure. So now we get
Speaker 2: to a point where we can't fly, were like, forget it,
Speaker 2: let's just rent a van. So one of my guys
Speaker 2: go get a Reno van. Now I already had a
Speaker 2: gun on me, right, so I figured, I'm like, man,
Speaker 2: if we're gonna drive up, I'll just take my gun
Speaker 2: with me. So we drive up. They get what they
Speaker 2: do the shows, but now they want to stay with
Speaker 2: Souls and Mischief to do some recording. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: all right, man, when I want to get back to
Speaker 2: the crib, because I was still doing other things at
Speaker 2: the house. So so I don't get back to the house.
Speaker 2: I said, man, when y'all get home, drive my gun
Speaker 2: back home. I flew back home. I left them the van.
Speaker 2: So when they get back to LA they called me
Speaker 2: up and they're like big, you know, we're backs on.
Speaker 7: And so forth.
Speaker 2: So now I have my other gun on me. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm going to go pick up the gun that I
Speaker 2: had with the forest sign. So I go got my gun,
Speaker 2: go pick up the other gun. I'm driving back. As
Speaker 2: soon as I get to Covid City, boom, they lit
Speaker 2: me up. I had two warrants from my arrest already
Speaker 2: on just some other small shit, small like traffic shit, right,
Speaker 2: And so I always told my brother, I said, hey, man,
Speaker 2: if they catch me on these warrants, I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: do the days. Don't bail me out. Just let me
Speaker 2: hold onto the cash. All right, Cool, that's understanding. So
Speaker 2: then I get pulled over. They come up. I'm in
Speaker 2: a white astro van that had just bought, not knowing
Speaker 2: that when I bought this van, I bought it from
Speaker 2: this dude from thirties, right. I don't know the van
Speaker 2: van enough. So they sit me down, they go through
Speaker 2: my van. My man comes back to me, I said,
Speaker 2: where's the gun at I'm like, I don't have a gun.
Speaker 2: Where's the gun? I said, I don't have a gun,

Speaker 6: back in the day, his best friend is you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying that a lot.

Speaker 6: like it, that's really him, that motherfucker, Like he really
Speaker 6: on the ship, the motherfucker he does this thing, oh man,
Speaker 6: all the way. And the cold part about it was,
Speaker 6: you know he knows the whole all the scenario. Here
Speaker 6: we go, Yo. One day, I'm gonna get that motherfucker
Speaker 6: to do that ship. But he's a real dude. And
Speaker 6: when he came onto the set when we first did
Speaker 6: the readthrough, he had problems with the word nigga though,
Speaker 6: because he was saying and he said, Paula, I.
Speaker 18: Can't I can't say this.

Speaker 27: I hug you a little tighter.
Speaker 7: Welcome to the show, the legendary said the entertainment.
Speaker 12: I love your versatility, though from where you started to
Speaker 12: where you're at now, When did you know in the
Speaker 12: comic space that you had kind of not only made it,
Speaker 12: but you had the ability to cross over and start
Speaker 12: doing more than just stand up man.
Speaker 15: It probably had to go back to the butt like
Speaker 15: commercials like you know. So it was interesting back in
Speaker 15: I guess this early late late ninety early two thousands
Speaker 15: was I was trying to do. But but wise it
Speaker 15: was headquartered in Saint Louis. I was trying to get
Speaker 15: some money to just do a tour like with some people.
Speaker 15: I saw somebody, a country singer with a tour bus
Speaker 15: with his face wrapped on it.
Speaker 18: That's all I wanted.
Speaker 15: So I was like, we go to bud Lights, see
Speaker 15: if they'll do this bud like to it, so I
Speaker 15: can have a tour bus with my face on it.
Speaker 18: And then they did that.
Speaker 15: They did that and then offered me the commercials, and
Speaker 15: so I did a Super Bowl commercial to one where
Speaker 15: I shake up the beers and.
Speaker 5: And it won.
Speaker 14: It won, like the super Bowl.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a long time ago, but it won.
Speaker 15: And then you crossed you you know, you wake up
Speaker 15: the next day and it's like you're walking through the
Speaker 15: airport and a whole nother fan base.
Speaker 18: Like your boy and shake up mirrors, ain't you?
Speaker 14: I tell you what?
Speaker 5: You get to shake them?
Speaker 1: Goddamn like what's your name?
Speaker 18: But you realize it's a whole new fan base.
Speaker 15: And so that's when that's when you kind of you know,
Speaker 15: because you know, we take great pride like I. You know,
Speaker 15: I was the host of Comic View, so I became
Speaker 15: black famous before I was, you know famous with other
Speaker 15: people like you know, in the hood because I was
Speaker 15: the host of Comic View and I was on every night.
Speaker 15: Even in Hollywood standards, I was way more famous, you know,
Speaker 15: like in the like Dallas, down here, Houston than anybody
Speaker 15: would knew me out there before before I hit So
Speaker 15: so I would go in meetings and you know, people
Speaker 15: wouldn't know who I was at all, and you know,
Speaker 15: but I came with this kind of like, you know,
Speaker 15: this kind of sense of grandeur from the assistance and
Speaker 15: the secretary of everybody, like why the he's so excited
Speaker 15: to see you. That was like early that they'd been

Speaker 15: and then it just kind of just kept staying on
Speaker 15: my hustle like that always kind of also been very
Speaker 15: outside of business. You know, me and my partner Eric

Speaker 15: and you know, yeah, it just feels like Hollywood they
Speaker 15: checking for you. You just have to learn how to Luckily,
Speaker 15: you know, I always say for stand ups, that's really
Speaker 15: our saving grace, the fact that we can go on
Speaker 15: the stage, go around anywhere in the country, around the world,
Speaker 15: and still make a living, like we don't have to
Speaker 15: depend on, you know, the business.
Speaker 18: So that was really the saving grace. But when you
Speaker 18: when you.
Speaker 15: Kind of hot, you got that it factor and then
Speaker 15: you not like getting the calls, that's a really that's
Speaker 15: a hard space to you know, to kind of live
Speaker 15: in as a young person. So luckily, I even feel
Speaker 15: like my career started a little late though, Like I
Speaker 15: went to college, I had graduated, I didn't even really
Speaker 15: start doing coining soil. I was like twenty seven, twenty eight,
Speaker 15: which is kind of late for people, you know, and
Speaker 15: then I popped, you know, in my thirties and so
Speaker 15: so I was a little mature for it and had
Speaker 15: worked in corporate, so it didn't it didn't scare me,
Speaker 15: scare me.
Speaker 18: But I definitely was shook that.
Speaker 15: You know what was once like this super fun private
Speaker 15: jet life was back to that.
Speaker 18: Yeah, what's up?
Speaker 5: You know everything?
Speaker 15: That's me too, man, I'm too beef. I used to
Speaker 15: I used to be an all jet life.
Speaker 5: You know, change you all right?
Speaker 18: Good, you realize you're good.
Speaker 5: You're back to jet life. I've been on a couple of.
Speaker 12: A could have been on a couple of inventions.
Speaker 7: Yeah, jet life all right.
Speaker 15: But that that that is one of those things I
Speaker 15: always tell young young people that too. You just got
Speaker 15: to enjoy the ride more than anything, like, because it
Speaker 15: is an ab and flow to any you know, any
Speaker 15: business when you hot and you know, you definitely feel
Speaker 15: like this always your spot, and you try to like,
Speaker 15: you know, kind of respect that.
Speaker 18: But then the littlest thing can change.
Speaker 15: And so like these movies didn't hit like like I
Speaker 15: thought they was, and that was it.
Speaker 5: Like you know, you're like, damn.
Speaker 15: So you fight, you pivot, you fight. I pivot. That's
Speaker 15: when I changed the television. And it's been really a
Speaker 15: great saving grace. So you know a lot of times
Speaker 15: you don't have that with TV. You don't get if
Speaker 15: you're not on the IT show like you know whatever,
Speaker 15: you know fifty producer or whatever, these kind.

Speaker 23: the fuck out of here. They're like, oh, you're gonna
Speaker 23: cut that shit out, coach.
Speaker 7: Oh, no, we don't do that.
Speaker 5: We don't say that here. Oh give him a vest.
Speaker 23: So anytime you had to, you know, you you were
Speaker 23: getting disciplined by any of the coaches, you had to
Speaker 23: wear a weighted vest.
Speaker 5: Yo, run them laps.
Speaker 7: Run, that's it.
Speaker 23: I had to run till a coach Smith told me
Speaker 23: to stop. So I ran for about maybe like ten minutes.
Speaker 23: But it was a learning lesson, you know, like, shit,
Speaker 23: I can't fuck I can't fuck with the All American Senior.
Speaker 7: Facts.
Speaker 24: He saved me my rookie year, my brother Keny March
Speaker 24: came motherfucking mark.
Speaker 12: What was that process like from the day you broke
Speaker 12: it and go to the day you got drafted number one?
Speaker 5: Hey, it was only like six months, right, and.
Speaker 11: When they met long shit. I got hurt March in
Speaker 11: the junie, so I didn't work out. I couldn't out.
Speaker 11: I wasn't like I had screws in my ankle, you
Speaker 11: know what I'm saying. None weight barren. I was in
Speaker 11: a boot on crutches for two months. So I didn't
Speaker 11: do nothing but go to therapy. While everybody else going
Speaker 11: to meet with teams do all that. I didn't do
Speaker 11: none of it. Then when I was able to get
Speaker 11: the boot off and all that, it was okay. So
Speaker 11: how is it like, Well, so we go to Chicago.
Speaker 11: They're like, well, the screws got to come out before
Speaker 11: we even think about picking them. Screws got to come out.
Speaker 11: The doctors got examined, and so so we did that,
Speaker 11: and all these teams trying to so we were like, everybody,
Speaker 11: ain't finna come in this damn room. Ain't no damn
Speaker 11: guinea pig. What number you got? I ain't gonna be there?
Speaker 11: We got you can't come in the room. You can't
Speaker 11: come in room. So we do that and but nah,
Speaker 11: it was hell. And mentally I didn't didn't know, didn't
Speaker 11: know how to deal with it. Man, Like it ain't
Speaker 11: never been through that I always could hoop. I couldn't couldn't,
Speaker 11: couldn't do anything but sit there and wait, wait, and
Speaker 11: hear they think about taking this person.
Speaker 7: And who was in that draft? Who was remember the
Speaker 7: talk I.
Speaker 11: Was thinking about, like they was gonna take theirs first.
Speaker 11: The NETS was gonna take him first. They weren't thinking
Speaker 11: about taking stro Strong miles second, but they were thinking
Speaker 11: about taking there as first. So there's is athletic, but
Speaker 11: he couldn't hit his ass with both hands. Boy couldn't
Speaker 11: shoot that thing. So they was thinking about taking him.
Speaker 11: And I was in Orlando when he was working out.
Speaker 11: I went to visit Lana. I was down there together.
Speaker 5: Said he couldn't.
Speaker 11: Carry So I watched his workout right, and he couldn't
Speaker 11: shoot that bit. Oh, So I was like, ye'all think
Speaker 11: about taking him. I was like, okay. So Stu had
Speaker 11: told me. So Stu Jackson, he was in Vancouver at
Speaker 11: the time. Jim and Stu told me, if the Nets
Speaker 11: do something stupid, but I don't take not taking you
Speaker 11: number one, you won't get past us at two.
Speaker 14: So you good.
Speaker 11: So I was like shit, all right. So from that point,
Speaker 11: from that conversation on, it was like a relief change.
Speaker 11: Of course I want to be number one, but him
Speaker 11: telling me that was a side relief, know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11: So coming up to the draft, all that it was
Speaker 11: still like they still was on the fence. I drafted
Speaker 11: like they was still on the fence, was what they
Speaker 11: was telling us.
Speaker 5: But yeah, non Mike Miller, Jamal Crawford.
Speaker 36: So you did no workout for no teams and sort
Speaker 36: of just sort of a workout. Let me hear they
Speaker 36: wanted to say. They said, we need to see if
Speaker 36: he can run and jump. I had been right before
Speaker 36: the draft, maybe a week before the draft.
Speaker 5: I go to Jersey.
Speaker 11: I ain't really can't really do much, but I had
Speaker 11: been doing rehab. I had been out the boot and
Speaker 11: all that. Doing rehab for a little bit wasn't right
Speaker 11: all the way, but I had been running this stuff.
Speaker 5: Literally.

Speaker 37: I said, I don't want to be no more real actors.
Speaker 37: Put me with some niggas, man coming herded, some motherfucking body.
Speaker 12: But what's it like to like I said, so you're
Speaker 12: transitioning from the streets to a global superstar and then
Speaker 12: now you're fucking around. Now you're in movies. Like, tell

Speaker 37: always put us in theatrical ship where we have to
Speaker 37: either play characters or memorized lines or be somebody famous
Speaker 37: for black history. Benjamin Banneker, James Washington Carver, all kinds
Speaker 37: of motherfuckers that we had, Frederick. We had to do
Speaker 37: research on these people, then we have to become them,
Speaker 37: and we have to act like them.
Speaker 3: We have to present that.
Speaker 37: Then when I went to school, I did like certain
Speaker 37: things in school that certain classes that I took that
Speaker 37: would give me the opportunity to give a little bit
Speaker 37: of that.
Speaker 3: Then when I became a rapper, rappers had personality.
Speaker 37: When I came out, all of them, it was never
Speaker 37: a dead dull rapper.
Speaker 3: Niggas couldn't just be yeah hey yeah, yeah yeah. Niggas
Speaker 3: had personality.
Speaker 37: Look, they had style, they had all that shit that
Speaker 37: was like flatbuoyant, like you know what I'm saying, like
Speaker 37: that shit.
Speaker 3: So it's like when I got a chance.
Speaker 37: To act, I was like, I never went to act
Speaker 37: in school, but I'm not gonna blow the opportunity. And
Speaker 37: my reputation is. And you can ask anybody that's ever
Speaker 37: worked with me on the movie set is Snoop Dogg
Speaker 37: comes to the set and he knows your lines, your lines,
Speaker 37: your lines, and his lines, and the motherfuckers flawless. I

Speaker 37: knock it out the park.
Speaker 3: Whooped the wool woo woop.
Speaker 37: Come back to the thing, like, nigga, you a professional
Speaker 37: nigga the way you and to me, I ain't did
Speaker 37: nothing but just what I'm supposed to do. What to
Speaker 37: an onlooker, and the motherfucker's been doing this shit for
Speaker 37: a long time. The way I do it with ease
Speaker 37: and the way I get it done, It's like, nigga,
Speaker 37: this is what you meant to do. Like certain niggas
Speaker 37: on the b ball court, they just gifted. Like some
Speaker 37: niggas gotta practice and shit and all this nifting weights
Speaker 37: and all's extra shit that some niggas.
Speaker 38: Just like, we'll lift you doing right there, that's the
Speaker 38: dunk on a nigga.
Speaker 3: Some niggas just got to do more than others, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 37: And then some niggas just naturally got it, man, Like
Speaker 37: it's just like that, Like I look at y'all the
Speaker 37: niggas that made it to the NBA, Right, how many
Speaker 37: motherfuckers didn't make it?
Speaker 3: That was better than y'all.
Speaker 5: I know a lot of my partners made most of
Speaker 5: them in jail. They were way colder than me.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying is just a matter of the way.
Speaker 3: You did it at ease, and I had the favor,
Speaker 3: but you did it at ease too.
Speaker 37: The favor gonna give it to you, but you still
Speaker 37: got to do it at ease because if you do
Speaker 37: it reckless and you're gonna lose favor.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I almost fucked it off a couple of times.
Speaker 1: We all almost did.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 3: Was sitting right here, nigga. We perfect combination.
Speaker 12: What was the best acting experience? Ords people you got
Speaker 12: to work with and you felt was it? You just
Speaker 12: spoke on what was that probably coming to America to
Speaker 12: you talking.
Speaker 3: About nah dolamite?
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, that's all the mic.
Speaker 37: But the people that I had to great experience of
Speaker 37: working with. One of them was Fred Williamson. That's the
Speaker 37: hammer played in super Bowl one. Played in Super Bowl one.
Speaker 37: He was a start she and hush.
Speaker 3: He was the lieutenant.
Speaker 37: But he told me because I had a long conversation
Speaker 37: with him, and I was like, fred, I really want
Speaker 37: to start doing this acting thing. Heavy, What should I
Speaker 37: you know, do it? What should I request or whatnot?
Speaker 37: Because I just want to be good at what I do.
Speaker 37: He said, look here, young man, let me tell you something.
Speaker 37: When I started making movies, it was three things that
Speaker 37: had to happen or I wouldn't fuck with the movie.
Speaker 37: Got to win all my fights. I got to win
Speaker 37: all my fights.
Speaker 3: That's number one. Got to fuck all the pretty girls.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get you suck, that's what that's number two.
Speaker 37: And I got to live all three of them. Things
Speaker 37: got to happen in the movie for me to be
Speaker 37: in them. And I looked at every movie this nigga
Speaker 37: was in and it's the same, and nigga beating up
Speaker 37: niggas from the beginning, fucking the bad bitch in the middle,
Speaker 37: and that nigga lives at the.
Speaker 3: End and in that time in the area.
Speaker 37: But just listen to me, in that time and in
Speaker 37: real life, nigga would get beat up. We're gonna take
Speaker 37: your bitch, and you're dead by the end of the movie.
Speaker 37: These are three things that's happening to you. Black actors
Speaker 37: get that part in your head. So somebody had to
Speaker 37: create a stigma of hold on, we wanna see some
Speaker 37: superheroes that look like us. That's where the super Fly
Speaker 37: and the Shafts and the Black Dynamites and the Dolomites,
Speaker 37: that's where they come from. Because it had to be
Speaker 37: somebody that set the trend on. You're not gonna do
Speaker 37: me like that. I'm not gonna be in it. So
Speaker 37: that's why when I got to a certain point of
Speaker 37: doing movies, I pulled back from Hollywood because they always
Speaker 37: wanted to kill a nigga. They wanted me to die
Speaker 37: in the movie. The last movie I died in Me
Speaker 37: and John Single How to Understand, And it was like, look,
Speaker 37: I really don't want to die in no more movies
Speaker 37: cause because I just don't like the spirit of that ship.
Speaker 3: I like to live.
Speaker 37: He was like, Nigga, the way you're gonna die in
Speaker 37: this movie, Nigga, you're gonna live forever.
Speaker 4: What was I to do?
Speaker 3: Nigga?
Speaker 38: Rodney from Baby Born, Welcome to the Show, Tyson Challer.
Speaker 24: Comptent, Demeanain, legendary, legendary, I know all about them.
Speaker 5: How was the hoop saying to talk about coming up?
Speaker 24: You know in that era because basketball was high school
Speaker 24: basketball was different when we was coming up.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 24: Compton the Menas is one of those schools. Talk about
Speaker 24: that experience of you know, growing up in Compton and
Speaker 24: playing with Compton Meaz with all those high school legends
Speaker 24: that you play with.
Speaker 20: I think the difference back then it is like it
Speaker 20: was like myths. Like anytime you heard about a player,
Speaker 20: I heard about the school you it was talking was
Speaker 20: no like YouTube or something like that, a chance to
Speaker 20: see build it up, you know in your head or whatever.
Speaker 20: And so for us, we built that up too because
Speaker 20: we know everybody felt about us. So I mean we
Speaker 20: walk in the gyms, we walk in hoodie deep. Yeah,
Speaker 20: you know what I mean. It's like like we're gonna
Speaker 20: We're gonna win either to fight or the game.
Speaker 5: So what is gonna be?
Speaker 20: And we came in with that type of mentality, and uh,
Speaker 20: I mean it was a hell of an era.
Speaker 24: Tommy Prince, Jason Thomas Turn, the most dropped name ever
Speaker 24: was all the smoke term Turn.
Speaker 5: But what was talking about we gotta got this our
Speaker 5: term segment? What was term? Game like? Turn?
Speaker 20: Terms nice nice point guard like your term is gritty.
Speaker 12: I call him ten day term now because you swear
Speaker 12: the Lakers gonna callis. But he's doing more gang banging
Speaker 12: in the video and than playing basketball, Like we can't
Speaker 12: just cuss everybody he cuts when he make a shot,
Speaker 12: turn will come back and play pickups and start fights.
Speaker 5: We don't go there no more. Yeah, you don't come
Speaker 5: here no more.
Speaker 20: We get somebody new from another income. Term banging up.
Speaker 7: This is our team, turn right, this is our team.
Speaker 5: Our team messing our team.
Speaker 7: I graduated four years ago.
Speaker 20: But it was I mean, you know, Tay, like you said,
Speaker 20: Jason Thomas, I got a chance to watch. I didn't
Speaker 20: play with Kenny or art team, but I got a
Speaker 20: chance to watch him before I came there. And that's
Speaker 20: really what made me want to go there. Uh you
Speaker 20: know the culture there. Tate was like the most clean
Speaker 20: cut out of them all, and he kind of like,
Speaker 20: you know, set the tone of how to get to
Speaker 20: the McDonald's, all American, how to ridle all of that.
Speaker 20: So I knew that I wanted to go to the league.
Speaker 20: Uh from highcho from high school, so I knew whatever
Speaker 20: t did, Like he was he was like at the
Speaker 20: top of the top and going to college. Like whatever
Speaker 20: he did, I got a cutting surpassed nothing. So he said,
Speaker 20: like a great bar for me.
Speaker 12: You had like a legendary was it junior high or
Speaker 12: freshman year? Like a sixty minute interview?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 12: Talk to us about that because there was talks. I

Speaker 12: was like, and then you know that's that that's a
Speaker 12: huge platform at it earlier.
Speaker 20: Was honestly, I didn't. I did not know what I
Speaker 20: was like actually doing. They said sixty minutes, wanted to
Speaker 20: do a piece. I just thought it was like a
Speaker 20: news channel. I didn't realize the magnitude of what it
Speaker 20: was going to do. Because after that, I was like,
Speaker 20: I got I got a target on my different it's different,
Speaker 20: like you know, especially like they put that target on,
Speaker 20: labeling you that dude, everybody's shooting for you now.

Speaker 20: At first, it was so exciting having cameras fall and stuff.
Speaker 20: I was like, oh, yeah, like you know, I'm that dude.
Speaker 20: And then until you got to be that dude, and
Speaker 20: then I was like almost embarrassed by and like embarrassed

Speaker 16: Him because he's about the team. He's about if you
Speaker 16: on his team, he got your back.
Speaker 5: You ain't got to worry about that at all.
Speaker 16: And the second thing was, uh, if this was interesting,
Speaker 16: it's kept my life interesting. Uh anytime we play a game,
Speaker 16: all right, Jack, not this soon as he man, I'm okay, saying.
Speaker 5: That was too right away, soon as he fuck up,
Speaker 5: he know the horror coming right.
Speaker 16: Okay, And he as soon as he hear that horror,
Speaker 16: he don't eve turn look.
Speaker 5: He start cursing, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, ship, okay, okay, I don't have to deal
Speaker 1: with this.
Speaker 16: So Pop Pop ain't even look at him now okay,
Speaker 16: walking just looking at Pop looking at dashing Jack walking
Speaker 16: to Then as soon as he passed the coaches, I
Speaker 16: know it's my job.
Speaker 5: I get up, So I go down to the end.
Speaker 16: I get my curse up the fuck that he'll be
Speaker 16: the fun out of here.
Speaker 7: There you go.
Speaker 5: There's about so I sit there and get cursed out.
Speaker 5: Then I'm like, okay, done. Then if he ain't done,
Speaker 5: he'll keep going.
Speaker 16: But if he's done, if I say yeah, I'm done,
Speaker 16: I said okay, now, now that is what you need
Speaker 16: to do. And after he take a breath and get
Speaker 16: After he take a breath, he know what's right and
Speaker 16: what's wrong.
Speaker 5: He relaxed for a second.
Speaker 16: Then he go back out there and if he and
Speaker 16: if it was bad enough.
Speaker 5: He goes. You get it out. He's blocking even coaching,
Speaker 5: and you know what, it goes back again.
Speaker 16: It's just a testament to his heart. If he was wrong,
Speaker 16: he'd be the first, and not just not just to
Speaker 16: one person, like the whole group.
Speaker 5: He goes, he gonna go from a whole group.
Speaker 24: And because I didn't know no better, I didn't know,
Speaker 24: you know what I'm saying. I was still learning. I
Speaker 24: was going how to be a professional. You know what
Speaker 24: I'm saying. I was on a team with a whole
Speaker 24: bunch of guys who are the ultimate professional. I'm still learning,
Speaker 24: you know what I'm saying. So but that was a
Speaker 24: culture shock to go from New Jersey where you had
Speaker 24: a whole bunch of guys who on their way out,
Speaker 24: you know what I'm saying, Sherman Douglas. Then I go
Speaker 24: to a team where you got stars like Tim Duncan,
Speaker 24: Dack Robinson. But this is an organization that that's uh, everything.
Speaker 5: Is about winning. It feels like a championship here.
Speaker 24: So it was a different It was a culture shock
Speaker 24: for me, but it was a great It was the
Speaker 24: best thing for me because if I went anywhere else,
Speaker 24: I wouldn't have lasted that long. But talk about it,
Speaker 24: it just resurfaced of me calling off my wedding.
Speaker 5: My boy was there. Oh yeah, Mike was there.
Speaker 7: So you came all the way from nothing to.
Speaker 5: Nothing. Michael was holding me down, holding me down though
Speaker 5: you know I was in the crime.
Speaker 24: I remember, I remember this Vivili bro Uh when I
Speaker 24: called the webnam, I was to be honest, all joke
Speaker 24: a side. I was really hurt, bro. He know I
Speaker 24: loved that girl and I was really want to be married.
Speaker 24: For me to take that step, but this is what
Speaker 24: I remember vividly, and this is why I love him
Speaker 24: and Mike Bibby's Mama. I was in the crying, like
Speaker 24: hard down crying. Mike will be Mom came in there
Speaker 24: and WAPs wipes not until the way with her bare hands,
Speaker 24: and told me you became a man today. And he
Speaker 24: came right behind her and said the same thing. You
Speaker 24: know what I'm saying. I was, and I was what
Speaker 24: twenty three twenty four at the time. Yeah, And I
Speaker 24: came straight up out of it, do you know what
Speaker 24: I'm saying? And that meant a lot, because if I
Speaker 24: didn't have him have them there that day, I don't
Speaker 24: know how I would have made it out of that.
Speaker 24: You know, people can talk all this shit. Yeah, you
Speaker 24: was a man. You did what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 24: But I was hurt, bro, I was hurt for a
Speaker 24: long time because I actually wanted to be married.
Speaker 7: You know, it might not have been the best thing
Speaker 7: for you.
Speaker 5: Definitely was Definitely was in my pockets, got it?
Speaker 7: I mean obvious to getting back to important Mike and instrumental.
Speaker 5: Got too many stories.
Speaker 12: I'm gonna keep navigating, y'all. Throw y'all, Michael was one
Speaker 12: of three people the help you get back in the league.
Speaker 12: You guys both speak to that. This is after obviously
Speaker 12: after the brawl Indiana.
Speaker 5: I started.
Speaker 24: So after San Antonio, I wanted my big contract. We
Speaker 24: won championship. I felt like I deserved a big contract because,
Speaker 24: like Mike said, they didn't look at like that.
Speaker 5: But I carried a lot of games.
Speaker 24: Game six in the West Commence Finals, we don't win
Speaker 24: that game if I don't carry. It's the first three quarters,
Speaker 24: so a lot. I was thinking like that in my head,
Speaker 24: but I didn't know the business as well. You know
Speaker 24: what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. So if
Speaker 24: I could rewind back, I would have took that three year,
Speaker 24: ten year, three years, ten million dollars because I would
Speaker 24: been on a championship team.
Speaker 5: I probably won two more championship. Then I always got
Speaker 5: a crazy bag. That's the end out there.
Speaker 24: But I didn't understand the best of the time, so
Speaker 24: I was upset with them not getting my bag.
Speaker 5: So I had to go to Atlanta for one year
Speaker 5: to prove myself.
Speaker 24: I'm betting on you. I bet on myself today in
Speaker 24: front of anybody, I'm betting on me, and I went
Speaker 24: down balled out. But I had this in my mind
Speaker 24: that I didn't get my big contract. But I knew
Speaker 24: I had Mike and Rick and Indiana that was interested
Speaker 24: in me. I had no idea I was gonna get
Speaker 24: a contract from him, but I knew they were interested,
Speaker 24: and I knew I had a relationship.
Speaker 5: With him, so I knew go to Atlanta and ball out.
Speaker 5: Sure shits, think got ball out in Atlanta.
Speaker 24: They have another mid level exception available and Donnie Walshall
Speaker 24: was hired me by then too, And I remember Mike
Speaker 24: tell them like, we're gonna We're gonna get you over here.
Speaker 24: And that's how it worked out for me going to Indianna,
Speaker 24: end up getting the biggest contract ever.
Speaker 5: Had, thanks my guy.
Speaker 12: Now fast forward till thanks to you, I went running
Speaker 12: for it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was running for fast forward to the brawl.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that that was crazy, man like.
Speaker 24: So so the bra situation was crazy because it seemed
Speaker 24: like it happened from this. I'm getting Larry Barry calling
Speaker 24: me telling me that I'm signing a big deal with Indiana,
Speaker 24: and it seemed like the brawl happened the next day.
Speaker 5: In my mind, that's how you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I was that happened soon as I got there.
Speaker 24: In my mind, I was in the position Matt where
Speaker 24: we're finna win the championship.
Speaker 4: Y'all was loaded.
Speaker 5: Nobody beating us, bro nobody beating us. You know, we
Speaker 5: had Ridge on the court, but O would lineup.
Speaker 24: Was Jamal me at the two, Run at the three,
Speaker 24: Jeff Foster at the four, Jamaine ain't nobody beating at
Speaker 24: five at that time on both y'all lost.
Speaker 7: Y'all can fight too, you know.
Speaker 5: We was that type of team.
Speaker 24: Yeah, I can dig it so and at the time
Speaker 24: we beaten everybody like fourteen to five or something like
Speaker 24: the time.
Speaker 5: Probably I think so, I'm not privy to you know,
Speaker 5: I'm not privy to the.
Speaker 24: Beef from the previous with Eastern Conference finals. So I'm
Speaker 24: sure he wasn't surprised when I went the stands behind
Speaker 24: run because that's just how.
Speaker 5: I am, you know what I say. That's why I
Speaker 5: said earlier.
Speaker 16: He ain't about the team. I'm lawyer, and he knows
Speaker 16: sometimes it could be talking so far.
Speaker 5: Ye exactly, That's just that's who he is. And when
Speaker 5: he went, I didn't think twice the game was over.
Speaker 24: You know, we could talk about it now because people
Speaker 24: willing to look it down and slow down the frames.
Speaker 24: When I first win the stands. I didn't throw a punch.
Speaker 24: Me and Mike got to run at the same time.
Speaker 24: We both grabbed him. What made me throw that punch
Speaker 24: was another beer was throwing it wrong face, So that's what.
Speaker 5: Made me click. If anybody look at it, I had
Speaker 5: no intentions.
Speaker 24: I ran by thirty people and got to run, so
Speaker 24: I had no intentions on hit nobody. But when the
Speaker 24: second beer came, I felt like it was just it
Speaker 24: was just too disrespectful. That and that's what happened. But
Speaker 24: this is the funny part. What we don't talk about.
Speaker 5: This motherfucker went off after the game, so doing the scuffling.
Speaker 24: Somebody fucking around the elbow him. Bus just lit. So
Speaker 24: we're in the locker room. We are, and let me
Speaker 24: tell you something, but I'm trying to.
Speaker 7: Bring your mother.
Speaker 5: Hold on and come Rick, so read it came coming there.
Speaker 16: Yeah, mother, We kind of breaking out.
Speaker 5: Jamaine, they were grabbed Jaun there about. They came in
Speaker 5: and going on.
Speaker 2: So it came to one point with Jamain stood up.
Speaker 24: All we check with the culture because he got hit
Speaker 24: the MAMO, you know what I'm saying. So it was
Speaker 24: the emotions were highest the time, but I knew that.
Speaker 24: Like yesterday, dog, the emotions.
Speaker 16: Was high, and it was not till it until they
Speaker 16: came in and said, okay, we're gonna rest.
Speaker 5: Remember they said they gonna rest two players and one
Speaker 5: coach was like.
Speaker 11: Rest.
Speaker 24: It got serious, It got serious, and it got serious
Speaker 24: when they came to Baron killed the whole everything. When
Speaker 24: he asked me was to go get trouble. When he
Speaker 24: said that, bro, the whole locker was like, oh, come
Speaker 24: on in trouble.
Speaker 21: You ain't playing no more this year. That we'll be
Speaker 21: here all day. We'll be here all day, all day.
Speaker 21: But I love you, Mike.
Speaker 24: I never I never got a chance to tell you
Speaker 24: this on camera publicly, but you know how my mom
Speaker 24: and how I feel about you. How from the opportunities
Speaker 24: you gave me to to San Antonio to where you
Speaker 24: embraced me as like a little brother in the somewhere
Speaker 24: I was in the league to be able to tutor me,
Speaker 24: and even when I wasn't playing on your team, you
Speaker 24: still made phone calls and make sure I was straight,
Speaker 24: still checked on me. So that meant a lot to me,
Speaker 24: because you know badly making into the league and the
Speaker 24: road I took you didn't have that many coaches that
Speaker 24: actually cared about me or my family or to come
Speaker 24: to my web to the leaves like that. So you
Speaker 24: made it a point to show me that you cared
Speaker 24: about fighting played for you. So I love you forever
Speaker 24: and I appreciate everything.
Speaker 5: Coach.
Speaker 16: I love it too, man, and I can say the
Speaker 16: same for you in a lot of different instances. More importantly, though,
Speaker 16: some times you showed up Saturday morning to support my boys.
Speaker 7: They had a hug. They had a hug today. I'm like,
Speaker 7: how you know him? I started thinking, like a nice embrace, bro.
Speaker 7: I was like, okay, brother, Yeah, that's dope.
Speaker 12: Coming to you from Dallas. Set the tone with with
Speaker 12: the boss man, mister Mark Cuban, and now we got
Speaker 12: one of the greatest to ever do.
Speaker 5: It, Jack Dennis Rodman had a brief stand here. What
Speaker 5: was that?
Speaker 22: Like?
Speaker 4: I was wild. I mean.
Speaker 40: I'm a big Chicago Bulls fan in the nineties there obviously,
Speaker 40: so he was. He was one of my heroes. And
Speaker 40: then you know, Q spot the team the second my
Speaker 40: second year, halfway through and he's like, you know, we
Speaker 40: need to make a splash here, we need to get
Speaker 40: on the map. This is a Cowboys Town and I
Speaker 40: want to bring the the Mavericks back. I think I'm
Speaker 40: gonna sign Dennis Rodman and we're like, are you serious?
Speaker 40: But he ended up doing it and it was it
Speaker 40: was quite an experience, so he uh every time. So
Speaker 40: as a team meeting, we usually meet with Nelly obviously
Speaker 40: with forty minutes before the game. So the first game
Speaker 40: we have Dennis Robmin we're all kind of like excited
Speaker 40: he's starting. So forty minute rolls around. He gets up,
Speaker 40: new it's about to start the film. Robin gets up
Speaker 40: and goes take a shower, Like okay, so he comes back.
Speaker 40: He didn't see the video, he doesn't know the coverages,
Speaker 40: so he just goes out and kind of does Sometimes
Speaker 40: he squeezes, sometimes he hedges a little bit, sometimes he
Speaker 40: does nothing. So I was like, okay, maybe he just
Speaker 40: did it one time. Second game, forty minutes on o'clock,
Speaker 40: he gets up, showers, so he missed all the pregame
Speaker 40: meetings before the game and had no idea about the
Speaker 40: coverages that we're doing and kind of did his own thing,
Speaker 40: And I was like, that was just his routine. At
Speaker 40: forty minutes before the game, he was he was showering,
Speaker 40: and then and then after the game, he would just
Speaker 40: put his own gear on and would go lift hard
Speaker 40: for like an hour and a half, two hours. Wouldn't wouldn't,
Speaker 40: wouldn't be with the team, would just be fine, fine,
Speaker 40: his his workout room and he had his little workout coach,
Speaker 40: and then they were just lifting heavy for like an
Speaker 40: hour and a half after the game. And then he
Speaker 40: just put on a cowboy hat with these long feathers,
Speaker 40: didn't shower and just walked right out the arena. And
Speaker 40: it was and then media scrum would chasing him and
Speaker 40: he's and he's mumbling something is it was a comedy
Speaker 40: side show. And then it just wouldn't work. It wasn't
Speaker 40: working well that those couple of games he was here.
Speaker 40: And but it was definitely a splash. I mean, you
Speaker 40: know that the arena was full, and he got kicked
Speaker 40: out of one game. He sat on the court for
Speaker 40: a while and the rest didn't want to throw him out.
Speaker 40: I mean, there was a lot of stuff happened, which
Speaker 40: which was a cool experience for me, I guess as
Speaker 40: a young guy growing up. But it just basketball wise,
Speaker 40: it just unfortunate.
Speaker 12: Didn't brief stint when you first got the team Dennis Rodman, Yeah, day,
Speaker 12: what was that?
Speaker 7: What was that like? And did he really stay with
Speaker 7: you or is that just urban legend?
Speaker 5: No, it's true.
Speaker 29: He had lost his driver's license and so I have
Speaker 29: a I have a guest house behind my house.
Speaker 5: I'm like, just stay there.
Speaker 7: I can take you there.
Speaker 5: It was funny. I loved you that, right.
Speaker 29: He was just and he would come up to my
Speaker 29: house and he would just sit there watching cartoons all
Speaker 29: day for real, you know. Or he'd sneak Carmen a
Speaker 29: lecture through the back door back to the guesthouse. But
Speaker 29: he was a cool dude, right. But you know, we
Speaker 29: had a team vote because we couldn't rebound at all,
Speaker 29: and I We're like, well he's a rebounder and he
Speaker 29: needs a job, and the guys Nelly had the guys
Speaker 29: vote on they said yes, and I never We were
Speaker 29: playing Sack one game and he was supposed to guard
Speaker 29: a s Webber and now he's like guards Chris Weber
Speaker 29: and instead of guarding him, he just pointed at sea
Speaker 29: web and see what, Boom hits a jumper. But you
Speaker 29: can't hit that again. Boom And the other guys.
Speaker 14: Like, what going on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the end of it.
Speaker 29: So let me just tell you I learned more from
Speaker 29: Dennis Rodman about PR marketing than I learned in any
Speaker 29: NBA class, anything I've ever done. The man was a
Speaker 29: master of marketing in like he knew.
Speaker 5: Like we'd go place he was still super hot.
Speaker 29: Then we go someplace and there'd just be masses of
Speaker 29: people that were just excited to see him, and you know,
Speaker 29: he'd be like, Okay, you just got to keep on
Speaker 29: refreshing and coming up with new stuff and letting people.
Speaker 5: Know you're going to be there.
Speaker 29: And so him and Paris Hilton are my two like
Speaker 29: marketing and PR googles, But d R. D rod was
Speaker 29: like a machine. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Speaker 12: You, it's good they've been asking for you.
Speaker 24: Before we dive into music. You know, we gotta touch this.
Speaker 24: You say he was top of twenty five ninety four, hard.
Speaker 5: Breathing, like, I'm just saying, I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
Speaker 24: I seen I seen him tell Mace he blew the
Speaker 24: game for us and all that, and and I didn't
Speaker 24: believe him until until I shot him and I saw
Speaker 24: the footage.
Speaker 5: I saw the push he blew it.
Speaker 11: No, I missed a shot. He wanted me to pass it, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you blew it.
Speaker 24: But he said, he said, you blew the game. But
Speaker 24: you said if you would have passed him, he wasn't
Speaker 24: gonna make it anyway I had.
Speaker 5: I had nineteen points, had two points.
Speaker 7: You gotta go some market, I gotta I'm cooking.
Speaker 11: At the most points in the game, like makes my man,
Speaker 11: don't get it fucked up because because you know why,
Speaker 11: like this ship comes up like twice a month. I'm like, yo,
Speaker 11: you really you're on this type of time. But yo,
Speaker 11: my nigga, look you gotta realizing. He'll say he was,
Speaker 11: you know, he did it for the sake of the team.
Speaker 11: But a year older than me. He a junior, a
Speaker 11: sophomore when I was his junior year. My sophomore year,
Speaker 11: I started, and you come off the bench like he was. Yeah,
Speaker 11: So I'm like, am I starting over?
Speaker 4: Young men?
Speaker 5: Ye're younger than he talked about genobally did it for
Speaker 5: the sake.
Speaker 7: Of the team, that's.
Speaker 5: So yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: If I got look, man, you know, if I got
Speaker 11: nineteen points, he got two points. They shooting free throws.
Speaker 11: We a massive square guard and that game is a
Speaker 11: massive square guarden. This is a real NBA court. So
Speaker 11: you all the way up to court. The niggas missed
Speaker 11: the free throw as soon as you get there. I
Speaker 11: got to be bad.
Speaker 5: I'm going I'm not running to play. I'm not looking.
Speaker 5: I'm looking.
Speaker 11: I'm dribbling, literally looking at the clock. Take down. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 11: he ain't square game, bro, Like, man, we're.
Speaker 5: Gonna win or we're gonna lose.
Speaker 11: On my merit, I'll take that. But yeah, he's that
Speaker 11: up twice a fucking month still today, even when she
Speaker 11: don't got done to do a basketball. Like when we're
Speaker 11: doing the show cam you see passing me we win,
Speaker 11: I'm like no, because he helped. You know, we negotiated
Speaker 11: our deal for the show. He was far of negotiation
Speaker 11: and we got you know, the underdog took care of us.
Speaker 11: When you passed to me, we win. You see what
Speaker 11: makes leave me the fuck alone about the game already? Fine,
Speaker 11: I should have passed the ball, bro, But Max was
Speaker 11: really good too. It's just it's really gard orientated and
Speaker 11: during that time, like you know, we're playing against stuff
Speaker 11: on Marlbury at the time. Felipe Lopez was there at
Speaker 11: the time.
Speaker 12: You know, it was speaking to cut you off, speak
Speaker 12: to Felipe because he had a lot of game and
Speaker 12: never really materialized.
Speaker 7: But he had a whole lot of game.
Speaker 11: He's all right, he's like, you know what it is.
Speaker 11: I'm being honest with you. First of all, we don't
Speaker 11: know how old Felippe is. He comes from Dominicans birth certificate,
Speaker 11: so we don't know. My man with the rice with
Speaker 11: Felipe right there, that's as yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: We really don't know how old Felipe Lopez is.
Speaker 11: Now, I tell you this much, New York, especially Manhattan
Speaker 11: has a big Dominican community, like talking about a big
Speaker 11: Dominican community. Now, Felipe, I'm not gonna say and say
Speaker 11: he wasn't good. I'd rather take stuff than Felipe if
Speaker 11: you asking me my person question. But no, they was
Speaker 11: hyping it. Yeah, yeah, that Felipe's it's better than stuff.
Speaker 11: He's a year older as far as grade wise. But
Speaker 11: he was good. But it was the hype behind. And
Speaker 11: that's why to me and the materialize it in the
Speaker 11: NBA because look, you go to the game. I'm not
Speaker 11: even exaggerating. I don't know if y'll ever been in
Speaker 11: the like Broadway in Amsterdam and New York. Probably Jackass
Speaker 11: have been everywhere this old Dominicans, Yoe. So when you
Speaker 11: go to these games, they come with guitars, they come
Speaker 11: with being Joe's, they come with with xylophones. Facts are
Speaker 11: not bro ya. He went to He was the mascot
Speaker 11: at Rights, my man.
Speaker 5: That's a fact.
Speaker 11: Though these niggas come, yeah niggas like so when I'm
Speaker 11: talking about these niggas, the half the arena or whoever
Speaker 11: nigga's performing at was uh filled with Dominican people, which
Speaker 11: was great support because it wasn't like a Dominican basketball
Speaker 11: player at the time coming out of New York. So
Speaker 11: his hype was crazy. And I'm not gonna say and
Speaker 11: say he wasn't good. He was good, but the hype
Speaker 11: behind it was it was a hype. Traine like to
Speaker 11: keep it a buck.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 11: It showed when he got the Saint John's. You know,
Speaker 11: as soon as you get to see Yeah, you wouldn't
Speaker 11: have been there all four years with the hype he had.
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying, he should have been with
Speaker 11: Kevin Garnett, did yeah or not been going.
Speaker 5: They wanted him.
Speaker 11: They talk about the Knicks taking him straight from Rice
Speaker 11: and nobody was really doing that at the top. KG
Speaker 11: kind of broke that code.
Speaker 5: Was on sports illustrating high school all that exactly.
Speaker 11: That's a fact, you know. I'm telling you. I remember
Speaker 11: looking at the newspaper and they talk about the Knicks
Speaker 11: may give Philippe. Then when he got the Saint John's
Speaker 11: you just seen. Niggas wasn't with that, especially when you
Speaker 11: that nigga is supposed to be that nigga. Niggas can't
Speaker 11: wait to kill you. Y'all.
Speaker 5: Niggas know like better than anybody, like, Oh.
Speaker 11: Like I don't really know what uh who y'all played
Speaker 11: against college or high school, but I'm pretty sure that
Speaker 11: it was a nigga that Jay was like, Oh that's
Speaker 11: y'all king back. Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11: So that's kind of how it felt. When it came
Speaker 11: to Felipe. I thought he was good, but if I
Speaker 11: had to pick, I would have picked Steph. That was
Speaker 11: like a pure point guard. He had brothers that played
Speaker 11: before him. He was really good. Felipe was decent, but
Speaker 11: he was just toler and no disrespect. He had the
Speaker 11: Dominican culture with him. Yeah, exactly, that hype trading, that
Speaker 11: whole joint. I must felipe as. When I played to
Speaker 11: I played them and stuff Marbury and skipped the my
Speaker 11: Loup shout out to Rafael Austin and my niggas. But
Speaker 11: when I played it was the same thing, like telling
Speaker 11: you like this, so y'all love this, so you're life.
Speaker 11: You know it's funny me and stuff Marlborough. You one day,
Speaker 11: was that niggas funny? We was arguing on Instagram or Twitter,
Speaker 11: one of them since I said, Steph, every time I
Speaker 11: played you, I busted your ass. Bro every single time
Speaker 11: I said every time, I said, matter of fact, let
Speaker 11: me specified what I said.
Speaker 5: Let me be vert beta. I said, Steph, every time
Speaker 5: I played against your high school I bust your ass.
Speaker 5: He said, exactly, you're still a high school basketball. That
Speaker 5: sounds like something Wop was saying. I said, I said,
Speaker 5: you won, hey, but I'm glad you said that.
Speaker 24: He is one of the most underrated NBA players of
Speaker 24: all time. The numbers he put up is no reason
Speaker 24: he shouldn't have been the first ballot Hall of Fame.

Speaker 12: GP said, if GP said, if they would have put
Speaker 12: him on or mj earlier, y'all would have won it.
Speaker 42: Yeah, Gary was having he had. They had a couple
Speaker 42: of little injuries he had, so they didn't want to
Speaker 42: exert him at first. Uh, they put Detla on Michael Jordan,
Speaker 42: which didn't go well. I mean, I mean, look at it.
Speaker 42: DeLand was a great player. I mean he is man.
Speaker 42: I don't think it was fair to him all of
Speaker 42: a sudden. You know, you come on, you know what
Speaker 42: I'm saying. If anything, you pull somebody off the bench
Speaker 42: and pull on Michael Jordan, they can just waste files
Speaker 42: and be physical with him. But you know, you come
Speaker 42: out there being soft with Michael. He's gonna take advantage
Speaker 42: of you. And that's exactly what happened. But Michael wasn't
Speaker 42: the reason he didn't beat us in the championship. He
Speaker 42: did not beat us. Man we we we was on
Speaker 42: his ass. Well, he didn't beat us. Dennis Robbins is
Speaker 42: the one who we had no answer for him as man.
Speaker 42: Really we had no answer for Dennis Robins. I mean
Speaker 42: every time that they needed a second shot or something special,
Speaker 42: extra rebound or tip in. This motherfucker was flying and
Speaker 42: winking and I mean wincing and testing and ship straighten
Speaker 42: everybody on the team. Man's not even like that. He
Speaker 42: just do that ship. Just you just doing that ship
Speaker 42: he had, you know, my team just flustered.
Speaker 7: Man, what kind of ship would he do?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 42: I'm gonna tell you what. Frank McCosky man dinner this morning,
Speaker 42: didn't started wearing color contacts the championship. He started wearing
Speaker 42: color color contacts in the Championship with some lip ship
Speaker 42: on man. He would be like he was trying to
Speaker 42: kiss Frank's arm and shipped and then Frank just couldn't
Speaker 42: take it. Man, it was just the man and him
Speaker 42: just couldn't allow it. Dinner's new with buttons to push, man,
Speaker 42: and we need to freak the rebound ship. He got
Speaker 42: him all discombobilated. Man. So yeah, my god, absolutely, man,
Speaker 42: Dennis Robber, I was his defense man, well me, I
Speaker 42: mean his defense was good, wasn't. I mean he wasn't
Speaker 42: too big for dinner, right, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 42: I'm a little bit too big for Dennis. I don't
Speaker 42: think that's a fair agile. But his defense was great, man.
Speaker 42: Like I said, he was just tipping the ball and
Speaker 42: rebounding high knee and doing all this silly ship man,
Speaker 42: all the ship that you hate to see.
Speaker 7: And they need it.
Speaker 42: Yeah, that's exactly what they need, man. Scotty piping is
Speaker 42: great man. You know, I played with Pippen in Portland.
Speaker 42: I just say this, but sometimes they people don't get
Speaker 42: pipping his props. But Scottie Pippen was gonna be good
Speaker 42: ball player without Michael Jordan. He would have been a
Speaker 42: quality ball player without Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan definitely made
Speaker 42: him a little bit better. But my man, Scottie Pippen
Speaker 42: was still balling when he was in Portland. You know,
Speaker 42: he wasn't no match for Kobe when we was playing
Speaker 42: right back then. Yeah, you know Kobe. But Scotty was
Speaker 42: still balling man. He could still play the pass and lanes.
Speaker 42: He's never been a great shooter, but he's just been
Speaker 42: athletic to do a lot of different things, you know,
Speaker 42: past scoring, rebounding, that's his game.
Speaker 7: Talk What was Mike like in the those finals? Talking
Speaker 7: just straight about business? What was it like?
Speaker 42: And well, we played Mike in the finals. We were
Speaker 42: trying to engage with him a lot man. We really
Speaker 42: wanted him. We wanted physicality, we wanted to uh, we
Speaker 42: were trying to test him, but he wasn't.
Speaker 5: He wasn't going for it. He was focused all right.
Speaker 7: Here was a picture right there.
Speaker 42: No, that's that's Gary. Gary was letting him know that
Speaker 42: he was getting in his ass. Because that's when they
Speaker 42: didn't put they took Gary. They took de Las off.
Speaker 42: Michael put Gary on. So Gary, you know, I used
Speaker 42: to run down the court. I'd be and I'd be
Speaker 42: like showing the glove. I'd be like the glove. Garyol
Speaker 42: giving his back the ball away and gave him flashy
Speaker 42: glove to that's you see Michael looking back at flashing
Speaker 42: that glove side. He didn't like that ship. That's the ship.
Speaker 42: That's the ship. That's the ship there. That's you had
Speaker 42: to get Michael going. Man, when you see that look
Speaker 42: right there, you got some problems coming back because now
Speaker 42: he don't want to talk to you. Now he got
Speaker 42: something to prove to you. He got another problem.
Speaker 7: Get a chance to know Mic off the court, not
Speaker 7: so much.
Speaker 42: Off the court, but definitely battles on the court. Man,
Speaker 42: definitely battles on the choir respecting. I got a lot
Speaker 42: of mad respect for the matter. You know, I've seen
Speaker 42: people be physical with Mike. I've seen him have a
Speaker 42: game plan to stop him. He altered his game plan
Speaker 42: every night. You couldn't stop him. Is he the best
Speaker 42: to ever played the game?
Speaker 5: No? Who is? I mean?
Speaker 42: People get mad at me when I say this, spell
Speaker 42: but Bill Russell, Russell, Bill Russell, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 42: The best to ever played the game is not gonna
Speaker 42: be the lead scorer. Be'st to play the game is
Speaker 42: gonna be one. It's gonna be in the middle doing
Speaker 42: a lot of different things because he's gonna be able
Speaker 42: to help people out keep the ball and play Bill
Speaker 42: Russell was the first one blocking shots, keeping the you
Speaker 42: know we was blocking shots doing that Ship seventeen rolls
Speaker 42: up in the stairs. He was actually blocking shots and
Speaker 42: they was actually getting fucking layups off of him. So absolutely, man.
Speaker 42: I you know, as I look through the years of basketball,
Speaker 42: I think Will Chairman was a beast, but Ship Bill
Speaker 42: Russell was wearing his ass up. So let's keep it real.
Speaker 42: If you're talking about the all around best player of
Speaker 42: the game, you look and see how many championships they won,
Speaker 42: how long they did it. He's got to be up there, bro,
