I'm passionate about what I do. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.440 I love what I do, like this is not about money. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.040 This is what I love to do, and I'm able 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.680 to do that. This is what makes me most happy, 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.120 you know, being able to help young people. Inf's the 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.640 true education. Think about what I've always been on a 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.000 financial literacy journey. So I've always been teaching and helping 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.000 the next generation, the ones that want to listen. I 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.920 done went from NFL players to NBA players to make 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.880 you League Baseball. I've been helping showing them, like, you 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.079 know what we have to understand in partners of financial literacy, 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.599 and now to be able to help brothers in this 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.480 sport to be successful because everybody's not going to the 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.400 NBA right So now I'm gonna show these kids why 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.679 they want to come and play for me, because not 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.959 only that this is a basketball game, but most of 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:22.280 these kids are feeding their. 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.760 Families right now. In college, it's no more time waiting 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.800 to get to the lead. You know, I know what 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.720 it is to be hungry. My grandparents sent me to 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.679 college with five dollars, like going on, I hope. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.960 You make a baby. And guess what, I came back. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.640 And made it and brought our house, brought my grandmother house, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.680 And so I know what these kids, you know, feel 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.800 what they've been through. Me and Brandon Jennis talked about 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.880 this last night. I said, what made you so good? 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:46.120 Brand? 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.520 He said, Man, Look, I know the conditions where I 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.800 was at. Nobody wasn't gonna outwork me, even though they 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.960 was bigger than me. You know, I was just with 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:54.840 a dog on the court. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.640 And then I got a chance to be around you, 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.920 Pete and see mansions and see all these nice things, 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.640 and then that even motivated me even more so so 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.480 imagine these kids around me gonna see that I come 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.840 from the gutter. I come from nothing, and look where 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.240 I'm at now. Now they get a chance to touch 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.760 me and and play for the team that I'm coaching. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.080 But I'm gonna coach him. Hold, I'm gonna coach him. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.120 Tough, because you we're not gonna win if we don't 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.079 create toughness. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.760 And that's what this about for me, man, And that's off. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:23.280 And on the court. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.960 And so I'm not only I'm not only a coach. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.280 I'm gonna be a father to a lot of these kids, 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.480 the same way Deon Sanders would happen to be a 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.720 father to a bunch of these kickers. I'm giving I'm 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.400 giving some kids opportunity, man, that never had this type 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.800 of opportunity before. I'm being honest with you, like, because 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.160 the regular coaches will be afraid of these type of players. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.200 Think about I had the margin roles and he was 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.000 out of Compton, Brandon Jennis. 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.319 Think about all these kids from some tough neighborhoods, Lance Stevenson. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.880 But I knew how to talk to this lot because 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.280 think about it, you can't talk to everybody the saying no, 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.960 you cannot, you know, because that's what a lot of 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:05.920 players are gonna They're gonna, they're gonna be Yeah, And 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.480 so you know what my thing is, right if I 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.920 could talk to these players and coach them in love, 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:11.800 and it's gonna. 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.080 Be tough sometimes I'm gonna have to talk to them tough. 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.040 But guess what, they gonna know that I'm gonna be 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.840 there for them to thick and thin, and that's why 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.120 they want to come be on this program with me. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.120 And Plus, we got a great city. We got a 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.160 great atmosphere. This is a big city. And so you know, 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.439 my next thing is getting a lot of television time 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.760 to where we get that time now at the University 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.040 of New Orleans. It's gonna be all about you know, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.240 the privateers now privateer nations. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.360 So getting getting all these you know, major channels to 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.000 to zoom in on us because I got some of 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.920 the top entertainers in the world coming. We starting off, man, 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.960 like we start off. The culture is being built right now. 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:52.000 It's built. Pet. 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.240 One of the things that I tell kids, I said 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.360 for me growing up, if I see it, I could 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:57.719 be it. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:58.800 I could get it. 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.320 Yeah, all I needed to do was see I saw 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.400 my brother go to college, went. 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.800 To college and lived with me. He go like I did. 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:06.320 He was poor. 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.080 If I was, I'm doing he went to the NFL. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.240 So if you see it, you should want to. You 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.599 can pee it or you can get it. Let me 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.520 ask you this, when you going so, what's gonna be 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.160 your sales pitch? Because there are a lot of people 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.320 that's watching this and they like, Okay, let me see 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.440 what be talking about when you going to something.

Because this is a journey. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.160 It's not gonna be easy. I'm gonna be on them, 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.320 I'm gonna be tough, but I'm. 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.680 Also gonna reward him, and I'm gonna put him in 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.560 a great situation to where he could get the right 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.840 nil money then he could be happy. And also I'm 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.880 gonna make sure he get his education because I know 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:14.880 one thing for me. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.360 Education has changed my life and saved my life. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.160 So if I put you on that right journey, so 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.680 even if you get hurt, you go through something, now, 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.640 you can still take care of yourself as a man. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.520 I'm creating men. I want you to come here to 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.800 play for me, but I also want you to love 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:30.760 what you're doing, and you gotta want to be here too. 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:32.560 So if you don't see this the place for you, 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:33.760 then this is not the place for you. 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:34.720 But it is that. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.320 I'm not trying to sell nobody because I've been through 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.360 it all and I know that I could be there 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.840 for these kids and show them the right way and 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:43.840 then they could learn from my mistakes. But also I 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.080 could teach them business. I could show them how to 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.240 create their own products and brands. Also, because even the 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.960 nil money is nothing to what once you Once you 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.840 make a name for yourself in this college system, you're gonna. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:55.800 Be worth way more than this. 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:57.240 And then the end goal and you want to get 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.160 to the NBA, then guess what I've got people that 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.360 that now that's gonna bring NBA scouts to our arena 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.600 to come see you and so and this is the 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.560 great city and if you're from here, you know that. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.080 But you also have to be able to police yourself 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.040 because you've grown. So I'm gonna also be be looking 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.440 for your son to be able to police hisself, be 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:18.920 able to be accountable. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.600 And he gotta want this, because if he don't want this, 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:22.560 I can't do nothing else on. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.240 But I could definitely show him everything that I've been 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.360 through and I could put the right team around him 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.000 to get to where you need to be at. And 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.840 that's that's just gonna be my self pitch because it's 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.520 not a sales pitch. It's just reality because I'm a 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.960 I'm a I'm a black man that have been through 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.520 what these black kids and and and and and young 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.280 men are going through and I know they're not gonna 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.560 be able to to play games with me because I 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.000 have seen it all. And so when they get on 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.200 this campus, you know they're gonna be held accountable like 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.440 anybody else. But we're gonna win, we're gonna get better, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.680 we're gonna grow together, and that's what it's gonna be about. 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.960 And we're not gonna play games with him because a 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.360 lot of these other coaches of playing games with our kids, because. 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:02.760 It's a business. 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:03.960 I'm gonna let them know. 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.000 And guess what, if you get yourself to a position 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.080 to where you need to go to the lead. I'm 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.880 not making kids say they need to stay here, because 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.159 I know I can get other kids if I need to. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:16.680 But if you come here and. 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:17.840 This is where you want to be and you want 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.040 to be in college for right now until you get 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.200 an opportunity to go to the NBA, this is the 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.800 spot for you because we're gonna take care of our kids. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.919 And that's what I've been doing all my life. And 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.120 you can check you could check my you could check 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.480 my record on that.
