Speaker 4: and bro all all the way across the arena.
Speaker 2: You here, crack, they molly, they molly watching out there.

Speaker 4: Them after that championship. Them Laker fans were celebrating them.
Speaker 4: Philly fans was knocking them out going.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: And then the only other one, Like, as a fan,
Speaker 4: I would say probably the most incredible ship I seen
Speaker 4: was when I went to Game seven.
Speaker 2: Uh, when y'all lost to Lebron. That's crazy. That was
Speaker 2: no reason to bring out a house. I'm just saying, Bro,
Speaker 2: I ain't never been in the series. I'm a Raider man,
Speaker 2: I'm a Raider fan right now.
Speaker 4: Hey, I do want to know, like, besides that, I
Speaker 4: want to know what you and Steph talked about after
Speaker 4: that France moment. I know y'all talked about this game, Bro,
Speaker 4: what what was he saying?
Speaker 1: We actually did speak about it, and it's one of
Speaker 1: those things where he just gave you, like the man.
Speaker 1: It was crazy, you know, man, unbelieva. It's one of
Speaker 1: those things, right, he ain't give you any word. It's
Speaker 1: because he was he was he was doing it facts.
Speaker 1: It was just like, man, I'm like, bro, that was unbelievable,
Speaker 1: Like I know right, Like if I talk to him
Speaker 1: about it today, it's still like the same reaction of like.
Speaker 3: Like he just kind of give me to.

Speaker 2: those reactions.
Speaker 1: But I knew exactly what he means, Like he don't

Speaker 1: a million words.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not for sure.

Speaker 2: don't know that happened too much. He had happened too much.
Speaker 2: Where's the superhero suit? You feel me? One? But he
Speaker 2: just he got that Jeene though.
Speaker 1: Man he I think the one thing that makes him
Speaker 1: so special, it's like he he really just loved a moment,
Speaker 1: like in any moment, like for instance, and we had
Speaker 1: the open practice the other day and we shot half
Speaker 1: course shots for ten thousand dollars and he always the
Speaker 1: last one to shoot, and he stand under the room
Speaker 1: while everybody else shoot, throw the balls back and then
Speaker 1: when it's time for him to shoot. He grab a ball,
Speaker 1: he walk up to the to the half court line,
Speaker 1: he turned around and he shooting. And I saw him
Speaker 1: on his walk and I told Wiggs, I said, I'm
Speaker 1: about to block his shot because he going to make it.
Speaker 1: And I was about to block his shot, and I
Speaker 1: just didn't go for the block, and he sure enough
Speaker 1: made it. And I was just telling Wigs. I'm like, Wigs,
Speaker 1: he like, man, that's crazy. I'm like, but there was
Speaker 1: no chance. All of these people in this arena and
Speaker 1: there was just no chance he was going to miss
Speaker 1: that shot, Like it.
Speaker 2: Was never gonna Like why y'all keep doing that, Why
Speaker 2: y'all keep shooting out courts shots with this man for money?
Speaker 1: Like there's no chance he was missing that shot. And
Speaker 1: that's just that gene he got like in.
Speaker 2: The game, bro Like.
Speaker 1: Like KD knew everybody in the world knew he wanted
Speaker 1: to take that shot.
Speaker 3: And when he passed the ball to KD, KD knew too.
Speaker 1: You see, k KD didn't look anywhere else, he didn't
Speaker 1: think about KD threw him.
Speaker 2: The ball right back.
Speaker 1: Everybody in the world knew that he was supposed to
Speaker 1: take that shot. When he took that shot, and that
Speaker 1: is the thing that Steph Curry has that.
Speaker 3: Not a single other person.
Speaker 2: In the NBA.

Speaker 1: moment is.

Speaker 4: the best moves? And you know, I hate to do it,
Speaker 4: but man, I gotta ask because you didn't tell me
Speaker 4: last time.
Speaker 2: We gotta talk about Klay Thompson.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of talking about Ain't he ain't talks to me.
Speaker 2: You put me on ice last time. I was like, man,
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 3: Always hurt my feelings.
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, dog, I'm gonna let it slide.
Speaker 1: My feelings ain't hurt no more. I'm over it now,
Speaker 1: and I'm sick of talking about. Clay walks out to me.
Speaker 1: Where's in the gym? Where's in the gym? Clay walked
Speaker 1: up to me and he said about travels in the gym.
Speaker 1: First I had left because I had to go to pilates.
Speaker 1: Clay was coming in the gym after his Traves song.
Speaker 1: He walked up travel I think it was talking to car,
Speaker 1: talking to somebody. Play walk up? Are you talking to
Speaker 1: the ops? Let me talking to the ops. So Trave
Speaker 1: told me later that day and I said, and Trave
Speaker 1: was like, is he serious? And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: he ain't serious. That's just how Clay talked, and that's
Speaker 1: that's his sister. But there is some seriousness to it,
Speaker 1: for sure. So then the next day I'm working out,
Speaker 1: Clay coming in after and now I'm talking to Car
Speaker 1: and sure enough Clay walks up.
Speaker 2: He says the same thing.
Speaker 1: Come on, Ky, you can't be talking to the ops.
Speaker 1: And when he said that, I told him to trave
Speaker 1: I said, And now I'm gonna run the It's just
Speaker 1: because there's some seriousness to that. Yeah, yeah, I know, Clay.
Speaker 1: I know I've been playing with this on the same
Speaker 1: team with his brother for twelve years.
Speaker 2: I know how you think.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of seriousness for sure, that statement, Well,
Speaker 1: but you gotta think like.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 4: He gotta he gotta steak his claim, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. He gotta steak his claim with the Mavericks,
Speaker 4: And he gotta go tell the Mavericks like, look.
Speaker 1: Man, Dre Man gonna be on this, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like they don't like me, no more like
Speaker 1: he he he needs for y'all not to.
Speaker 4: Like him in order for him to be successful. You
Speaker 4: know what I mean, When y'all when y'all match up,
Speaker 4: he needs y'all not to like him.
Speaker 2: He don't. He don't need it. It's you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, like y'all are as.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for him, he's gonna get a great tribute video.
Speaker 2: People will be very happy to see him. You gonna cry, Yeah.
Speaker 1: He gonna cry. He probably gonna bring Rocco to the game.
Speaker 1: People are gonna have Roco science and soft. So unfortunately
Speaker 1: for him, he's emotions and he comes back twelve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to him now. Honestly though, I think
Speaker 1: that's gonna My hope for Clay is this. My hope
Speaker 1: for Clay, and my hope for him is that I
Speaker 1: hope and pray that he go to Dallas and play great.
Speaker 1: And the reason I hope he go to Dallas and
Speaker 1: play great is because that will allow him to appreciate
Speaker 1: what he's done here. Like right now, if I'm totally
Speaker 1: honest with you, I think it's like a stain on it.
Speaker 3: Like I feel like he's like a stain on it
Speaker 3: for him.
Speaker 1: And so many times people don't get to and Clay
Speaker 1: hasn't said this a staining on it, by the way,
Speaker 1: It's just kind of a little how I feel in
Speaker 1: my gut. So many times people in the NBA, like
Speaker 1: don't have a place to call home and to know,
Speaker 1: like and like again, regardless of how he may feel,
Speaker 1: he getting the statue here, his jersey going up, He's
Speaker 1: a legend, this is Hollo forever, you know, like all
Speaker 1: of that, Like, but you just want him to feel
Speaker 1: how he's supposed to feel, even from a place that
Speaker 1: you built.
Speaker 2: And I hope that for him.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, because again, I just know who
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson is as a person. I feel like, and
Speaker 1: he go to Dallas and play great, that then he
Speaker 1: could be like that, all right, that's cool.
Speaker 3: I'm cool now, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He's just so competitive man, So I just want that
Speaker 1: for him, bro, Like, I want that for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Speaker 4: I was like, uh, it's almost good for him to
Speaker 4: have kind of like a new beginning because like y'all built,
Speaker 4: y'all built this warrior thing, right, and at a certain point,
Speaker 4: like you know, y'all, y'all three, y'all, DNA is you know,
Speaker 4: stuck in it, you know what I mean? And so
Speaker 4: with his with his injuries and coming back, it wasn't
Speaker 4: like he wasn't playing good or playing there's just time.
Speaker 4: When time start catching up and these young dudes start
Speaker 4: getting better, you know what I mean, there comes like
Speaker 4: a compass, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: You reached that compass and you.
Speaker 4: Got to say, like you know, as a vet, you're like, well, shit, bro,
Speaker 4: I'm I'm still who I am, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: But I think you know, he put like he probably
Speaker 4: put more pressure on himself, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: to try and be whatever it needed to be for
Speaker 4: him to feel like, ah, I told y'all can do.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 4: I like him in Dallas, and I want to see
Speaker 4: him successful in Dallas too, because similar to what you said,
Speaker 4: gonna he gonna be able to put the Warriors in
Speaker 4: his own legacy box. For sure, he gonna be able
Speaker 4: to share a lot of that shit with you know,
Speaker 4: his new teammates, you know what I mean, because now
Speaker 4: he he free, you know what I mean, Like it
Speaker 4: wasn't no beef. It was just time to move on,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Because that chapter of your life,
Speaker 4: you could say, you know what I mean, like you
Speaker 4: can own that and say I.
Speaker 2: Built you know what I mean, I was a part
Speaker 2: I built that.
Speaker 4: I was a part of building that, and so you know,
Speaker 4: it's still a little ichiness just because of just how
Speaker 4: like I'm still I'm still good. I'm still better than
Speaker 4: what you think. And so I can't wait to see
Speaker 4: y'all play, bro. I can't wait to see y'all play
Speaker 4: against each other. Oh well, I'm gonna have to come
Speaker 4: to that game.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: It's already beef with the Warriors in Dallas anyway, so
Speaker 4: you might as well just keep that little, you know,
Speaker 4: situation cracking.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of crazy that Clay kind of went
Speaker 1: and joined the Ops for real.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey man, it may be some.
Speaker 1: To that we beat them in the playoff series two
Speaker 1: years ago.
Speaker 4: It may be some to that it is joined the
Speaker 4: He joined the Ops and caused you the Ops.
Speaker 3: Call me man, like how I become the option? You
Speaker 3: joined the Ops.
Speaker 1: It's cool though, hopefully we got the way and shake

Speaker 1: Unbelievable I said, preseason training camp training Hawaii. Yeah, training camp,
Speaker 1: first four days of training camp in Hawaii, first preseason
Speaker 1: game in Hawaii. Yeah, the vibes in Hawaii immaculate. Great
Speaker 1: carre us out there crazy. Did you stay in the
Speaker 1: in the in the in that like all the way
Speaker 1: in that like little Ramote Island, Turtle Bay, Yeah, Turtle Bay,
Speaker 1: Turtle Bay.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 1: We had a great time, but it was also you
Speaker 1: know what was great about it, and we got off
Speaker 1: to a great start because with and speaking of Clay,
Speaker 1: with Clay leaving and starting this training camp they're in Hawaii,
Speaker 1: it almost felt like the ark of a new thing,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like doing something different, not
Speaker 1: starting training camp in San Francisco how we always do.
Speaker 1: It's a different thing. Everybody had their families out there,
Speaker 1: so you're getting to know people and to know the
Speaker 1: guys obviously Hawaii and the bag. Yet, man, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it was it was incredible for us.
Speaker 1: Lindy Waters h Lindy Waters the third hits, the game
Speaker 1: winner to start off the fro hit the game winner
Speaker 1: and start off the preseason vibes on ten. So now
Speaker 1: we kind of feeling that like, oh yeah, like this
Speaker 1: felt great like and then you know, we come back
Speaker 1: uh ye, and now we're back home. It's time to
Speaker 1: get rolling, you know what I'm saying. And we and
Speaker 1: we bought the Vibes back from Hawaii. Always I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of the rock. You always talk about the Mana.
Speaker 1: We brought that mana back from Hawaii, and and we've
Speaker 1: had great practices. Bro, We've had an incredible preseason, obviously
Speaker 1: going six and oh. But the but it's no surprise
Speaker 1: to me that we went six and oh, because hey,
Speaker 1: the young guys, Yeah, and they've been working, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, So them come in when we weren't
Speaker 1: playing in the preseason and seeing them come in and
Speaker 1: dominate how they were, it wasn't a surprise because they've
Speaker 1: been working. And then you know, getting to see how
Speaker 1: d Anthony Melton playing with us, how Kyle Anderson is,
Speaker 1: how Bunny Hill it is, and getting to know these guys. Man,
Speaker 1: the ViBe's been on ten preseason. One of the best
Speaker 1: training camps and hardest training camps. I might add, like
Speaker 1: Steven Steve was killing us in camp. We had one
Speaker 1: super long practice. I ain't practiced that long since, and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, man, this is nuts. But you know what,
Speaker 1: but we was in every practice, in every drill. And
Speaker 1: I say we, I mean like me, Steph Lone, guys
Speaker 1: who've been there. We was in everything. Because again this
Speaker 1: is a new thing. You gotta set a tone, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And so I think we did
Speaker 1: a great job of setting the tone.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And we could not have asked for a better training camp,
Speaker 1: a better preseason than we had. And so speaking of
Speaker 1: being undefeated in preseason, what happens.
Speaker 2: It's not that, oh, you won every.
Speaker 1: Preseason game, but what it is, it's like when you've
Speaker 1: done it as many times as we've done it, there's
Speaker 1: a filler. Yeah, And you know what I'm saying, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying we're gonna go win a championship, but I
Speaker 1: am saying, don't let us win another fucking championship.
Speaker 2: That you don't let that happen.
Speaker 1: Another fucking championships on the team.
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you they ain't macke.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know.
Speaker 1: I also think we got a lot of depth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of depth. We got a lot of guys.
Speaker 2: Versatility, versatility, So defensive versatility too. You got smart.
Speaker 4: You got a lot of dudes who can cover ground,
Speaker 4: and then you got smart defenders. Right Like, you look
Speaker 4: at somebody like Kyle Anderson, right and you say like,
Speaker 4: man like slow mo, you know U c la, that's
Speaker 4: my boy. He knows how to read you, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean. And some and people who are who
Speaker 4: understand know where to be to make shit happen.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So like that all all all those pieces together start
Speaker 4: coominga he you know what I mean, as your room protector,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, y'all.
Speaker 2: Y'all, y'all.
Speaker 4: If y'all ground teams, you know what I mean, and
Speaker 4: just make them play on the ground, like, don't even
Speaker 4: let them jump in past.
Speaker 2: Make teams play fundamentals. Y'all gonna beat the ship out
Speaker 2: of everybody.
Speaker 3: No, that's the fact, bro. I think I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: I think this team has a really really really good
Speaker 1: chance to be special.
Speaker 2: Man Like, yeah, good, you.
Speaker 1: Know once you once you you become a really good team,
Speaker 1: then you get down to it. You know, it's matchups,
Speaker 1: it's healthy, is clicking. I think we got a chance
Speaker 1: to be doing all of that.
Speaker 4: So I like the I like the Hawaii shot Man.
Speaker 4: We did that a couple of times. Uh, we did that. Uh,
Speaker 4: I think it was coming off that we believe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did that. Yeah, we was internal. Bay.
Speaker 4: I remember Nelly gave us a day off, but he
Speaker 4: was like, y'a, I'm gonna give you a day off,
Speaker 4: but y'all gotta do some type of team activity. And
Speaker 4: everybody decided we was gonna go paintballing Bro, fire not fire.

Speaker 1: open to enjoying basketball, enjoying the season, enjoying the grind.
Speaker 1: My body feel great, my mind is great, like my
Speaker 1: drive is great. Yeah, in good shape. Like, man, I
Speaker 1: feel incredible. I have not felt this good coming into
Speaker 1: a camp. I've only felt this good coming into a
Speaker 1: camp out of like an Olympic year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel incredible. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: This year for me is all about just just taking
Speaker 1: it all in man like, embracing these moments with my
Speaker 1: teammates because I'm like, man, last couple of years, I
Speaker 1: just stopped really enjoying it and it's just been hard,
Speaker 1: like like this season just and I'm like, nah, man,
Speaker 1: let me let me enjoy this again. Like I'm playing
Speaker 1: basketball for living. I have loved this since I was
Speaker 1: five years old, Like, let me, let me enjoy this.
Speaker 2: And so that's where I'm at. Man, I feel great.
Speaker 1: And then it does not help to feel like you
Speaker 1: got a chance going into the season, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like that that also changes things for me,
Speaker 1: But man, I feel great. It's it's kind of put
Speaker 1: me in a place of like you know, I've been
Speaker 1: saying all this time, like yo, two years is it shit?
Speaker 1: It kind of put me in a place you feel
Speaker 1: I'm telling you two years you know what it is, bro,
Speaker 1: It's show rebirth, And I wanted to tell you this.
Speaker 2: Other dudes in the league look up to you, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 4: You're in thirteen now, so you this your rose ceremony, right,
Speaker 4: And I remember like when I was in my thirteen year,
Speaker 4: I was kind of hurting shit for all the young
Speaker 4: dudes no matter where they play, Like we got to
Speaker 4: realize that they fuck with you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So it's a responsibility, you know what I mean, for
Speaker 4: you to enjoy it, for you to enjoy the game
Speaker 4: and know that these dudes.
Speaker 2: Is a mold.
Speaker 4: You feel what I'm saying of you, and they whatever
Speaker 4: they gonna do to you is because what they've learned.
Speaker 2: So keep that in mind.
Speaker 4: You feel what I'm saying is like your reverend, you
Speaker 4: know everything for your team, but like every time you
Speaker 4: match up these young dudes, they look up to you.
Speaker 4: So that is and now you have a greater responsibility,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, which I think is like, Man,
Speaker 4: I can't wait for this season, brocause I can see
Speaker 4: it like you're shooting at three, you know what I
Speaker 4: mean like, you know, you know what you know, you
Speaker 4: know what you need to do, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: and like and these dudes they look up to you,
Speaker 4: they coming at you. This is the year where it's like, man,
Speaker 4: come on, man, this is the year thirteen where it's
Speaker 4: like you don't figure it out. It ain't no pressure,
Speaker 4: it's all fun and like everything you learn is gonna work,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And so you're about to
Speaker 4: you about to get to relearn really over the next
Speaker 4: two years, the style is about to be your style again,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, for sure, but more you know,
Speaker 4: So even the kid with Steph you feel what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: Like I think other dudes gonna be coming to you
Speaker 4: after the game and be like, yo, Dre, you know
Speaker 4: I looked up to you. Man, I went to your camp.
Speaker 4: It's greater responsibility, you feel me.
Speaker 3: That's the fact.
Speaker 1: Man Quincy Oliverari, by the way, yep, that was crazy.
Speaker 1: That moment was so dope. I was actually standing at
Speaker 1: the free throw line talking to him for the game,
Speaker 1: I mean during the game, and he was like, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm a big fans, right mind, you remember me? And
Speaker 1: I actually remember, like I actually remember him to see
Speaker 1: him having those moments though, like getting off like by
Speaker 1: the way that kid can shoot the piss.
Speaker 2: Off the ball. To see him having that moment.
Speaker 1: Man, like Steph is an icon, like and see him
Speaker 1: like like Steph changed the.
Speaker 3: Game of basketball.
Speaker 1: And to see that kid like had that moment and
Speaker 1: start crying and like.
Speaker 2: But that's shute, Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: It's like to these kids like kind of like mjst
Speaker 1: to us, like, like he changed the game of basketball.
Speaker 1: He changed how we look at the game. To see
Speaker 1: him have that moment, man, it was so special and
Speaker 1: I'm happy he had that moment. I will tell him,
Speaker 1: that's so great, that's incredible you had that moment. Always
Speaker 1: appreciate Steph the way you appreciate him, because you should
Speaker 1: always get that respect. But now you had that moment.
Speaker 1: Now you need to pick him up ninety four feet
Speaker 1: when you play him again. Man, Now they're need to
Speaker 1: be healthy. But I'm trying to get at you, my
Speaker 1: idol and all. And I say this to all the
Speaker 1: young fellas like I love and like sometimes I'll talk
Speaker 1: I talk shit to young fellas on purpose just to
Speaker 1: see where they at with it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I love when they don't back down. I went
Speaker 1: at Keyante George last year, young fella from Utah man,
Speaker 1: he went at my next so crazy.
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, like I like that.
Speaker 1: I told Okay, I told Hardy answering his old Jesus,
Speaker 1: I said, I like young fella. He ain't backing down
Speaker 1: at all. He talking, He's whooping. God's respect that. So
Speaker 1: for him, Like you had that moment with Steph, that's incredible.
Speaker 1: You want to earne yourself a two way, which means
Speaker 1: you're gonna be up in the NBA something.
Speaker 2: If and when.
Speaker 1: You face Steph Curry against check checkish Joe checkis Jaffe.
Speaker 1: If he drop you, if he hit three's on you,
Speaker 1: that's Steph Curry. He's supposed to do that to you.
Speaker 2: But if.
Speaker 1: You play well, if you give him a little bit
Speaker 1: of a hard time. And again, this ain't just quincy
Speaker 1: with Steph. This is all these young guys. You are
Speaker 1: supposed to get dominated by the guys who've been doing
Speaker 1: it that you grew up with. But you have a right,
Speaker 1: you have a responsibility to compete with them like never before.
Speaker 1: Number one, because who knows how long you're gonna get
Speaker 1: that opportunity right number two. You trying to make a living,
Speaker 1: just like he trying to make a living. Well, he's
Speaker 1: making this living now that made it, but was once
Speaker 1: trying to make a limit. And guys respect you more
Speaker 1: when you go at them. Now, Steph ain't gonna be like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I don't like him anymore, Like nah, you get.
Speaker 2: You know you're a fan? Yeah, if I know you're
Speaker 2: a fan, and he always gonna be a fan.
Speaker 1: If you don't go at me, I'm well, I know
Speaker 1: I got an easy way right here because he's my.
Speaker 2: Friend, you know what I mean? Friendly for the game.
Speaker 2: He a fan. He ain't gonna do much, you know.
Speaker 2: And I would say the hardest thing is.
Speaker 1: Hell playing against the Jason Kidd, John Stockton, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like, man, you played against John Stockton too.
Speaker 1: Playing against John Stockton Bronte is my first game and
Speaker 1: he ripped me and stole the ball twice and I
Speaker 1: sat on the bench, wo he pushed me into a
Speaker 1: pick and I han't even one know.
Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway playing against him in the playoffs. He was
Speaker 4: my idol, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And it's like I'm a fan of Nervous, but my
Speaker 1: nervous energy. Was like, oh, bro, I gotta to pick
Speaker 1: these dudes up full court.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like absolutely, I just if
Speaker 2: I can get their respect, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: if I can get they respect after the game, win losing, John,
Speaker 2: It's like I want them to know my name, not
Speaker 2: like uh this BD, Like they gotta be thinking about me,
Speaker 2: like on the calendar. You feel what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: And so that's what the kid gotta he gotta come
Speaker 4: with that now because everybody know you're a fan of
Speaker 4: step So they gonna think one thing. You gotta show
Speaker 4: them another thing, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's the fact that I had that the two guys
Speaker 1: I was star struck by when I came into the league.
Speaker 1: Shacka just retired, shackles up my all time favorite player
Speaker 1: of all time, my number one favorite player, Shaquille.
Speaker 3: O'Neill by far, it's my guy. Shaq had just retired.
Speaker 1: But when I'm my first time I had mess Shaq Man,
Speaker 1: that shit was so surreal for me, Like, Yo, you
Speaker 1: just cassed shock Diesel.
Speaker 2: It was crazy.
Speaker 1: But the two guys that it was for me is
Speaker 1: I always tell people this story and they could quickly
Speaker 1: guess the first one, but can never guess the second one.
Speaker 3: The first one is obviously Kobe Cole.
Speaker 1: I remember we was playing a preseason game and I
Speaker 1: had just finished doing my shooting time, and you know
Speaker 1: the rookie you shoot early. And I had just finished
Speaker 1: my shooting time, and then we was like supposed to
Speaker 1: go in the back and like dorough some weight stuff
Speaker 1: and some other stuff, get your body works on whatever,
Speaker 1: and you had like these time slots. When I was
Speaker 1: about to leave out from my shooting time, Cole walked
Speaker 1: on the court. I had sat at the end of
Speaker 1: the bench, and my eyes just tracked and walk all
Speaker 1: the way down the court. Before I knew it, I
Speaker 1: had sat there and watched him do a thirty five
Speaker 1: minute work up.
Speaker 3: And just sat there like this the entire time.
Speaker 1: And he walked off and I just tracked him as
Speaker 1: he walked off to the tunnel, and then I got
Speaker 1: up and I went it was like, oh man, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry I was late. I had missed all my time,
Speaker 1: but it was cold. And then the second one, people
Speaker 1: never guessed it. So part also far the reason I
Speaker 1: was a little more crushed about the USA team because
Speaker 1: the other one person I was started struggling was actually
Speaker 1: Great Hill.
Speaker 3: And people never guess ge Hill, but people don't remember
Speaker 3: g Hill.
Speaker 1: Like when I was coming up as a kid, Grant
Speaker 1: Hill and Turquoise missed his uniforms.
Speaker 2: Bro, he was sick, crazy, Bro, he was sick. He'll
Speaker 2: come down full speed, hit you with that has he got.
Speaker 2: Has he crossed the in and out.
Speaker 1: Man, he he's booming on you too, like g Hill
Speaker 1: was crazy and so oh, those were the two guys
Speaker 1: for me that I was most star struck by when
Speaker 1: they came when I came in the league, and I
Speaker 1: remember my first time seeing g Hill.
Speaker 2: He was about to play the Clippers.
Speaker 1: He came out of the huddled us when he was
Speaker 1: hurt and the start lineup was happening, and when he
Speaker 1: came out, he walked down and when he walked when
Speaker 1: he walked out the tunnel, the lights was down and
Speaker 1: they was they had just finished and started lineups. He
Speaker 1: walking out and he walking across to the Clippers bench
Speaker 1: and I saw him come out the tunnel and my
Speaker 1: eyes just tracked and out Washington and I was just
Speaker 1: watching them walk and Richard Jefferson came and tapped me
Speaker 1: on my shoulder, like it's all right, young fella. It's
Speaker 1: all right, young fella. That's she here.
Speaker 2: It's cool.
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh man, my bad, and he
Speaker 3: was like nah.
Speaker 2: He was like, I actually had a moment like that
Speaker 2: with David Robinson.
Speaker 1: He was like, we played him in the NBA Finals, though,
Speaker 1: he said, once I realized we was about to lose,
Speaker 1: lose the it was either four to one or four
Speaker 1: all four, Ah, I think they lost, he said. I
Speaker 1: was that at the free throw line next to him.
Speaker 1: Game four us pretty much over. And I told him like, well,
Speaker 1: now that this is over, I can tell you. But
Speaker 1: Ourja actually caught me just staring and watching g Hill.
Speaker 1: Watch everybody, bro. Everybody had their moments, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. It's like when you get to the league,
Speaker 1: it's like, man, like.
Speaker 2: Yo, this is really like yo.
Speaker 4: It's a surreal moment because you're playing with the basketball
Speaker 4: cards as a kid, he's sneaking to watch games when
Speaker 4: you can't fit him in the family time. Then when
Speaker 4: you get in the position of authority, you were watching,
Speaker 4: you know, them become superstars.
Speaker 2: Then you're on the court with him, it's like damn,
Speaker 2: like hold on over, I'm really on the court back
Speaker 2: with one of these ones. Don Yeah, and I.
Speaker 1: Can't really be like, hey, man, I want to tell
Speaker 1: you how dope you are, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: how big? You can't say none of that ship. You
Speaker 1: gotta bottle that up and hide it and took that
Speaker 1: all the way to the left, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Because them dos ain't fans of yours until you make
Speaker 1: him that's a fact.
Speaker 3: You don't have to or they're just gonna disrespect you.
Speaker 3: If not, man, they just gonna walk past you.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Like, that's what I plan for, man, I want to
Speaker 4: earn when I walk in the room people, that's bad.
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying. That's it, you feel like
Speaker 2: I think that's that's the upper echelon with Mike, the
Speaker 2: Hall of Famers, the legends. It's like, man, they know
Speaker 2: your name. You one of them ones. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean? You're one of one? Right when you say
Speaker 2: Draymond Green, you know you are a one of one.
Speaker 2: There is no there is. You are a mold. You
Speaker 2: feel what I'm saying. For You're a mom you know.
Speaker 4: For me, I got a chance to play against Grand Hill,
Speaker 4: not like the Grand Hill with the Pistons. You know,
Speaker 4: I was afraid him and TMAC teaming up in Orlando,
Speaker 4: but that never happened. But when he did play, he
Speaker 4: was in Phoenix.
Speaker 2: And you always know how great I always say this,
Speaker 2: You always know how great a player is when they're
Speaker 2: a shell of themselves and they're still great, right, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Like this dude ain't play basketball in two years starting
Speaker 4: on a you know, top team in Phoenix. Still play defense,
Speaker 4: still candle like he was, still he was still getting busy, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I happened to have my grand Hill moment running down
Speaker 4: the court because when I was with the Warriors, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, I catch him on the island.
Speaker 2: You know, I catch him on the island. It's like, Oh, Man,
Speaker 2: Grand Hill, Oh this grand Heel. You know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Come on, young fella. I'm like, man, this is you
Speaker 2: Grand Heel. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But for him to be out there and to be
Speaker 4: a felt like I always say, no matter if you hurt,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, the injuries that man went
Speaker 4: through to still be one of the best players in
Speaker 4: a mind and know like and still be effective and
Speaker 4: still be able to get money.
Speaker 2: He was well into his thirties.
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying, Like, well into his thirties,
Speaker 1: hadn't played in a while, it was still balling. That's
Speaker 1: when you know somebody like their mind and their skill
Speaker 1: and their greatness. Like it's a lot of dudes that
Speaker 1: are great and are superstar players as they get older.
Speaker 4: They only were superstars playing like that. You feel what
Speaker 4: I'm saying for sure. And so it's like you look
Speaker 4: at some dudes be like, oh man, this dude was.
Speaker 4: He was crazy for four years scoring. But like you,
Speaker 4: that's skilled on track asfer as you get older, unless
Speaker 4: you are a very skilled, intelligent player.
Speaker 1: So speaking of which, you speaking on Grant Hill being
Speaker 1: a shell of himself, there was a moment on TV
Speaker 1: this week. It really pissed me off. So I would
Speaker 1: love to get your take on it. I'll give you mine.
Speaker 1: But the moment was again he's speaking of injury and
Speaker 1: being a shelly yourself. The moment was Kendrick Perkins pretty
Speaker 1: like telling.
Speaker 3: Kawhi he need to retire.
Speaker 2: That's sick coming from Kendrick Perkins, coming from Bro That's sick.
Speaker 2: That's sick.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was bathefled when I heard him say that,
Speaker 1: because I just think taking athlete to know that a
Speaker 1: guy who people has questioned, like whether he cheated the game,
Speaker 1: But clearly, as you look at this, this what's happened
Speaker 1: over time, the man ain't cheated the game. He got
Speaker 1: better from the time they came into the NBA. He
Speaker 1: improved everything, ball handles, shooting, you name it, and he
Speaker 1: started to get hurt, won championships. Hasn't been the healthiest guy.
Speaker 1: People questioned whether he was really faking or whether he's
Speaker 1: Clearly the man wasn't faking. Good question that to say,
Speaker 1: like to hear Perk say, yeah, he need to retire,
Speaker 1: he need to consider retiring.
Speaker 3: I thought that was crazy because.
Speaker 1: Perk last three years in the NBA, nobody was pushing
Speaker 1: him to retirement and everybody probably should happen. I mean,
Speaker 1: averaged two point five points for three years straight, like
Speaker 1: two point five, three point five, two point like, and
Speaker 1: nobody was really pushing you for to retire. Guys like
Speaker 1: Brian and KD was actually inviting him to the team
Speaker 1: like he was kind of he was kind of sad
Speaker 1: the forum and to push this man towards retirement like
Speaker 1: obviously the man want to play. He play every chance
Speaker 1: he gets. He go out there, he try to play,
Speaker 1: and he come back still.
Speaker 3: Looking like Kawhi Leonard balling.
Speaker 2: It, not being the man. Average twenty points fifty percent
Speaker 2: from Phil forty three last year. When you average two,
Speaker 2: like and you you're gonna lead, like, tell me you
Speaker 2: need to retired now. When you average too, Bro, you
Speaker 2: can't walk in that. You can't walk in that room.
Speaker 2: If you average two, you can't walk in that room. Bro,
Speaker 2: you can't do that. You're not allowed room. You can't.
Speaker 2: You ain't even allowed in the door. Y'all allowed it.
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying, like my reason why you
Speaker 1: got there because you're on the championship team.
Speaker 2: That's it. And by the way, I'm not going again.
Speaker 2: But you're in that room. But you're in that room, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're in that room.
Speaker 1: When you say Kawhi, come on, that's one on one
Speaker 1: like you know, it's almost like I understand what Perk
Speaker 1: was saying and how he was trying to deliver it,
Speaker 1: but it shouldn't be delivered from him.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? You average too? You feel
Speaker 2: like on the rail. You average too? Bro? You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, and like, come on, bro, like, okay,
Speaker 2: this is the media. Okay, we're in the media too. Now, okay,
Speaker 2: you're in the media. I understand hot takes and all
Speaker 2: that ship for ESPN and you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: but you average too, and you're speaking on you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? You you you damn there, like you
Speaker 2: discredit yourself.
Speaker 1: Yes, when you speak on another dude and the injuries,
Speaker 1: knowing how the ship we gotta go through mentally psychologically,
Speaker 1: this man is great.
Speaker 2: He finals MVP, All Star every time your two time
Speaker 2: finals MVP. You feel me, Why is this man? You
Speaker 2: think he not trying to play? Why is he a
Speaker 2: training camp? You think he's not trying to play. So
Speaker 2: you're gonna say, oh, and then you're gonna throw the injury.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, because uh, people experience. You ain't experienced shit,
Speaker 2: you know, like dog, you ain't experienced what he experienced.
Speaker 1: So being out a law and in his brotherhood, like man,
Speaker 1: you don't speak on nobody like that, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: Like, it's a hierarchy, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 2: a hierarchy. And I understand we in the media and ship,
Speaker 2: but if we hoop it. Everybody in the media need
Speaker 2: to understand. It's a pecking order. For sure. You ain't
Speaker 2: one of them. Once shut the hell up, you should.
Speaker 1: And it's that Paul or KG because it's gonna it's
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because they're gonna have They're
Speaker 1: gonna be better to articulate that when you you ain't
Speaker 1: articulating that, right, and it's not coming from like we
Speaker 1: ain't catching that the way is you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: On ESPN and all like damn bout it. The season
Speaker 1: ain't even started, and I.
Speaker 2: Don't know's I don't feel that ship. I think it's
Speaker 2: very simple.
Speaker 1: I think a great skill in life, and a very
Speaker 1: important skill is knowing how to read the room. And
Speaker 1: obviously he ain't reading the room he on TV, but
Speaker 1: like you gotta read the room like and man two
Speaker 1: point five three point five two point five perk.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 2: You can't push that man to retirement. Twenty people as
Speaker 2: people as people is pulling you in, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, They pulling you into the league, right. You
Speaker 2: ain't even really like on the rail. You're taking it young.
Speaker 2: You know, I probably took three years of a young
Speaker 2: dude's salary. You know what I mean, because what exactly.
Speaker 1: Do that?
Speaker 2: You can't he can't speak, he will. I don't know, man,
Speaker 2: that's performing at a high, high level. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: Who injured? You don't know his injuries? You don't You
Speaker 1: don't know nothing about his injuries. And that's what I
Speaker 1: hate when we start switching up on this media shiit
Speaker 1: thinking like it gotta be a hot take, no, bro,
Speaker 1: like sometimes just park it. PA's that ship to KG
Speaker 1: and Paul Perk also let out by saying, and this
Speaker 1: ain't no hot take. That's like saying, hey, no disrespect,
Speaker 1: but I'm about to dis if I tell you yo,
Speaker 1: no disrespect, I'm about to disrespect you. Like, hey, this
Speaker 1: ain't a hot take, it's a hot tape.
Speaker 2: Like stop, bro, That's that's all it is. Stop. This
Speaker 2: may sound like a hot tape.
Speaker 3: I mean, no disrespect.
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry to bother you but cannot get a picture.
Speaker 1: You're not sorry, You're not sorry. Sorry, I am sorry
Speaker 1: to bother you, But like I know you're eating. I
Speaker 1: know you're eating, but you want to.
Speaker 4: Take a picture. Hell, no, go, bro, don't want to
Speaker 4: sit here and eat my food. I didn't come here
Speaker 4: to take pictures when I'm.
Speaker 2: Trying to eat. That's all right, all right, all right
Speaker 2: park Man, all right, So man looks jokingly, you know,
Speaker 2: and this is just a joke. Before we end the
Speaker 2: upcoming Warrior seasoned conversation, I have to ask you, should
Speaker 2: I be worried about you? I done? That ship was classic?
Speaker 2: Hey bro, Hey, I was on the I J and
Speaker 2: I and I said, I ain't worried about him. Oh bro,
Speaker 2: they start coming at me. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: My man said, Yo, people are worried about you. I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe he said that. I was like, people are
Speaker 1: worried about?
Speaker 2: Like what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What tell me.
Speaker 3: What it is that they are worried about?
Speaker 2: What are they worried about?
Speaker 3: I'm doing incredibly well, possibly better than.
Speaker 2: Them, be the best that I've ever done in my life.
Speaker 1: This but that's neither here nor there. I just forget
Speaker 1: how if it's better than them? Are I'm doing incredible?
Speaker 1: My wife's doing amazing, my kids are doing amazing. Life's great,
Speaker 1: families good, everybody's healthy.
Speaker 2: I'm great.
Speaker 3: So again, help me understand who's worried.
Speaker 1: And what exactly are they worried about? The reality is
Speaker 1: that guy always chases like stuff with me. You think
Speaker 1: I've like disrespected him or like never given him a
Speaker 1: quote or bah.
Speaker 3: The reality is I don't really take him very.
Speaker 1: Seriously because he's just, yeah, he's kind of just like
Speaker 1: an older guy. Like my grandmother would be mad if
Speaker 1: I like got upset at him, Like he's an older guy.
Speaker 1: So I kind of don't take him serious because it's
Speaker 1: like he's always chasing like something with me, and so
Speaker 1: I really just don't take him serious. And when he
Speaker 1: said it, I was a little bit thrown off, but
Speaker 1: it was just like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, what.
Speaker 5: I don't know though, So I.
Speaker 2: It was awkward to like like that and started, Oh
Speaker 2: that was the first question.
Speaker 3: It was within the first three questions for sure?
Speaker 2: Is that what we all?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 2: Is that? What way?
Speaker 1: So he just showed me what type of time he's on.
Speaker 1: The reality is this, most people like this guy always
Speaker 1: pick with me. Most players probably would have tried to
Speaker 1: get them banned by now. At the end of the day, bro,
Speaker 1: do your job. I'm not going to try to get you.
Speaker 2: I don't care about doing that any Yeah, like it
Speaker 2: is to go to the media.
Speaker 1: The dudes who used to fuck with me, I used
Speaker 1: to read all the articles, and then when they would
Speaker 1: talk to me, I'd be like, dude, you're the worst
Speaker 1: fucking reporter I ever met.
Speaker 2: Let's have a writing contest. I go at him.
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, your ship is terrible. I bet you
Speaker 1: can't write. Let's have a writing contest. I ain't even
Speaker 1: tripping on you because you're not even good at your job.
Speaker 2: I read everything he wrote about me. I ain't really
Speaker 2: had no flow, no real story, and it was inaccurate.
Speaker 2: So like, you want to have a writing content on that?
Speaker 2: Pis a mom? Were you telling that, Oh you're not
Speaker 2: a good job. You're right, bro, you're right, excerts in
Speaker 2: the paper. Get out of here. Bro, you're not like
Speaker 2: no journalist. It's always that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was just like, men, don't want to take him down?
Speaker 2: Like why you want to take why you want to
Speaker 2: take you to you?
Speaker 1: Bro? Do you by the way, I don't want to
Speaker 1: take you down? Like I'm not even.
Speaker 2: Thinking about you. You're not worried about you. Nobody nobody
Speaker 2: I'm talking to is worried about you. Why are you
Speaker 2: talking all these people on me? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Don't make most Like I said, I probably have a
Speaker 1: great relationship with probably ninety seven to ninety eight percent
Speaker 1: the media, and I have no problems, no issues. I
Speaker 1: respect the job, even the guy always trying to pick
Speaker 1: on me. I respect it. Do your job. Unfortunately, I
Speaker 1: don't think he got the answer he was quite looking for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do apologize because I do. I do try my
Speaker 1: best to give people the answers that they're looking for.
Speaker 1: So I apologize to him.
Speaker 2: But yeah, moving.
Speaker 4: Along, Yeah, moving along. I say, as a dad, you
Speaker 4: know Lebron and Bronnie playing together, I think the shit
Speaker 4: is dope. You faced both of them in the preseason, right,
Speaker 4: they didn't play together, but Bronnie had a solid game
Speaker 4: in the last one. There was a report out that
Speaker 4: said the Warriors passed up on to respect the wishes
Speaker 4: of Lebron.
Speaker 2: James. Cool for the Warriors to say something like that
Speaker 2: or to do something like that.
Speaker 1: Uh, I mean, I think it's great for the Warriors
Speaker 1: to stay in do that because the reality is they
Speaker 1: could have drafted Brownie. And I think after watching Stephen
Speaker 1: Bron in the playoffs, you probably look back on it like, dang,
Speaker 1: we probably should have tried to learn him away because
Speaker 1: that thing just looked incredible.
Speaker 2: Watching them too, Yeah, in the Olympics together.
Speaker 1: Uh, and saying that I think number one, Brownie and
Speaker 1: bron playing together incredible.
Speaker 2: It's insane, Like incredible.
Speaker 3: Anybody who hated on that, hate yourself.
Speaker 1: If you're hating on that at all, hate yourself, because
Speaker 1: there's absolutely nothing to hate about with that number one
Speaker 1: to play against Brownie, especially the second game of the
Speaker 1: last game of the preseason. My only thing to Brownie
Speaker 1: is this, brother, if you're gonna fail, And I actually
Speaker 1: said to him, hey, man, if you're gonna fail, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know how to play basketball and something. Some of
Speaker 1: this time I'm watching you play and you acting like
Speaker 1: you don't know how to play basketball. The one thing
Speaker 1: I know you know how to do is you know
Speaker 1: how to play basketball.
Speaker 6: Bro.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, man, just play your game. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna fail, fail because you fail playing like you know
Speaker 1: how to play. Don't fail because you ain't doing what.
Speaker 2: You know how to do. Yeah. Like, And to see
Speaker 2: him how.
Speaker 3: That last game that he had, I enjoy I enjoy
Speaker 3: watching it.
Speaker 1: Because the scrutiny that he's under for the fifty fifth pick,
Speaker 1: Like if you go down, if you go to the
Speaker 1: average NBA fan and ask them, give me the fifty
Speaker 1: fifth pick of the last ten years.
Speaker 3: They probably can't get two of them.
Speaker 1: Two absolutely cannot get two of them, right, And so
Speaker 1: the scrutiny that he's under. You don't hear about the
Speaker 1: first pick, you don't hear it about the second pick,
Speaker 1: you don't hear it about the third pick. But for
Speaker 1: some reason, all of a sudden, because African American dad
Speaker 1: and his African American ass son are now on the
Speaker 1: same NBA team, Like, we don't see this in corporate
Speaker 1: America every day, Like we don't see this in ownership
Speaker 1: and NBA teams every day.
Speaker 2: Like we don't see this in.
Speaker 1: Lawn services every day, construction companies every day, Like we
Speaker 1: don't see this all over the place. And people want
Speaker 1: to act like the fifty fifth pick that if it
Speaker 1: wasn't if his name wasn't Lebron James Junior, they wouldn't care,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't know, and they want to act like, ah, man, look,
Speaker 1: he had a bad game. What did you expect, by
Speaker 1: the way, from the fifty fifth pick.
Speaker 3: Quite frankly still right, yeah, nineteen guess.
Speaker 1: What if I'm honest, the fifth pick that comes into
Speaker 1: the NBA after one year of college, ain't ready to
Speaker 1: play in it.
Speaker 3: Nobody to act like the fifty.
Speaker 1: Fifth pick supposed to be just ready to go in
Speaker 1: the NBA on day one, Like you're just a hater
Speaker 1: because it's unfair and it's why.
Speaker 3: And the last thing I'm gonna say about.
Speaker 1: Bronnie is this, when he gets the ball, stop fucking
Speaker 1: cheering like he don't know how to play and like
Speaker 1: he not in the NBA. You make it so much
Speaker 1: harder when an NBA player get the ball in the
Speaker 1: cross like an NBA player because you're making this like
Speaker 1: some phenomenal When I'm on the corner, Oh, and I
Speaker 1: just want to go play basketball, So stop with the whole.
Speaker 1: Every time he get the ball, y'all go crazy, like relax,
Speaker 1: let that man play basketball. Ain't nobody coming to y'all job.
Speaker 1: Every time it's time for you to Oh you're trying
Speaker 1: to do something like, ain't nobody coming to y'all job
Speaker 1: doing that? Stop going to that man job. And he
Speaker 1: get the ball and you start going crazy and like
Speaker 1: he gotta do something because you're not giving him a
Speaker 1: fair shot to be successful.
Speaker 3: Get up, young man, a fair shot to be successful.
Speaker 1: He worked his ass off to get to where he
Speaker 1: at and regardless of how you feel, he got there,
Speaker 1: he there, So give him a fair chance. Like he
Speaker 1: can't play. I hate when people do that. That's an
Speaker 1: NBA player, Stop.
Speaker 2: All NBA players, whether he like him or not. They
Speaker 2: got Game No. One on the Fringes and the g
Speaker 2: League and the two way.
Speaker 4: I like Briannie Game one Ross Row's alumni, so I'm
Speaker 4: a fan, you know, the SC thing.
Speaker 2: I'm glad he got out of there. But I didn't think,
Speaker 2: see like Ronnie, you should have said, we ain't. Don't
Speaker 2: even get into that. You know. I had to hate
Speaker 2: on him a little bit when he went to SC,
Speaker 2: But I also didn't when I saw him at SC,
Speaker 2: I was like, this kid does not belong in college,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Because he's a good player, and he he can fall
Speaker 1: into being a good player in college and the glue dude,
Speaker 1: or he can go to the league and become a
Speaker 1: point guard at six ' two with his bill his athleticism, right,
Speaker 1: and so he's gonna get so much better, bro right,
Speaker 1: And how about this.
Speaker 2: Is Daddy, who were on the team with.
Speaker 1: Is one of the greatest player ever played, one of
Speaker 1: the greatest players ever played.
Speaker 2: Okay, so look at that is.
Speaker 4: So that isn't gonna fall He nineteen, He can jump
Speaker 4: out the gym. He fearless, brownie, no permission, Bro, We're
Speaker 4: not asking for no permission on me. I don't give
Speaker 4: a fuck. We turn it over, steals blocks like you
Speaker 4: gotta just go and learn, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: That's all you gotta do is just go and learn.
Speaker 4: Because he is getting better. And I was telling people, bro,
Speaker 4: summer league is the worst time to judge somebody. Once
Speaker 4: you're in training camp and you start seeing where you
Speaker 4: fit in, and like everybody, when you get to the league,
Speaker 4: I don't give a fuck how good you are. You
Speaker 4: better figure out how you become some part of the
Speaker 4: gloom exactly, you know what I mean, or unglued you out.
Speaker 1: So he's smart enough to know how to fit in.
Speaker 1: He's smart enough to know how to play. He just
Speaker 1: gotta be able to say, you know what, I don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck.
Speaker 2: If y'all don't think I deserted it got they show
Speaker 2: you exactly. Oh well I'm in, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And if there's a party, I'm gonna dance too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that sit and and I think him doing that, But
Speaker 2: I also say this is good for the Lakers, Bro,
Speaker 2: you know, because Lebron has more responsibility to be a
Speaker 2: great teammate to everybody on the team.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 4: You can't even you can't. You can't be the Kobe
Speaker 4: thing now. Yeah, you can't be like you can't be
Speaker 4: what you used to be. You kind of gotta be
Speaker 4: a little bit engaged. You kind of gotta be a
Speaker 4: little bit coach mentor in a different way.
Speaker 1: Right, And they're having your son there, it's like you
Speaker 1: gotta leave all the goodness so he can continue.
Speaker 2: Fact, you know what I mean. So you gotta treat
Speaker 2: everybody on you on the team ten times better than
Speaker 2: you treated them last year. You can't walk by nobody,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So, like the level of leadership is now, it has
Speaker 4: to be outside of King James. It's gotta be like
Speaker 4: I gotta show my son. I got to show these
Speaker 4: young dudes the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's a fact. That's one thousand percent of fact.
Speaker 1: And I think Bron, just like any other responsibility he's
Speaker 1: ever had, he gonna shoulder he gonna sell in it,
Speaker 1: and it ultimately will help Brownie.
Speaker 2: And I would say.
Speaker 1: The last thing I would say about Brownie is if
Speaker 1: I'm Brownie, anytime I check into an NBA game, if
Speaker 1: the point guard is bringing the ball up the floor,
Speaker 1: I'm picking you up full pick every time as long
Speaker 1: as I'm in that game. And I say this to
Speaker 1: all young guards, by the way, if you're not a
Speaker 1: starting point guard in the NBA, when you come in
Speaker 1: the game, I ain't saying you gotta be Patrick Beverly
Speaker 1: turning the guy like, but you better be up there
Speaker 1: just to turn him a couple of times just so
Speaker 1: he ain't walking the ball up he ain't comfortable. Because
Speaker 1: if you're gonna let these guards, starting guards like yourself,
Speaker 1: just walk you up to the spot that they want
Speaker 1: to get you to, you dead. So that would be
Speaker 1: my word the Brownie is anytime you just step foot
Speaker 1: in an NBA game, you go pick up the point
Speaker 1: guard and you go pick them up ninety four feet
Speaker 1: every time.
Speaker 2: Man, that's your moment to introduce yourself. What sub Jason
Speaker 2: Kidd man o BD, I'm watching, I'm about to pick
Speaker 2: you up full court? What's that? Full course? Sam Cansell,
Speaker 2: Sam Canselle, tell you, man, what are you doing over here?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You better get back there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But like you developed that relationship and that's how that
Speaker 2: is the first initial way you earn respect bro Yep,
Speaker 2: that's the fact.
Speaker 1: And switching over to the East, you know, speaking a
Speaker 1: little bit about the West, we're gonna switch to the East. Well,
Speaker 1: obviously the current world champions resign for now. Do you
Speaker 1: think the Celtics will come back out of the East again?
Speaker 3: Last time?
Speaker 2: Team repeat it. I'm just saying I am.
Speaker 1: You know, no pun intended was two seventeen eighty. You
Speaker 1: know that's what we got going. Do you think the
Speaker 1: Celtics will be the team to come out of the East.
Speaker 1: You know, the Knicks made their moves, Philly Madson moves.
Speaker 1: What you're thinking the moves? Who you got coming out
Speaker 1: to East? Uh?
Speaker 4: You know I played for the Knicks, so I'm rocking
Speaker 4: with the Knicks. I gotta say the Knicks don't come
Speaker 4: out the East this year. I feel like I think
Speaker 4: the Karl Anthony Towns trade allowed them to match up
Speaker 4: with Boston with Al Hortford at the five or Prezingers
Speaker 4: at the four.
Speaker 2: You know, like you can use cat and in that
Speaker 2: you know trail five position.
Speaker 4: You got og, you got bridges, you know, Jalen Brunson,
Speaker 4: and then a bunch of scrappy dudes like Josh Harten.
Speaker 2: He gonna play hard, he gonna make big shots.
Speaker 4: But I think having at coming into that trail five
Speaker 4: now you can't double brush and Brustling is one of
Speaker 4: the best post up guards you know in the league,
Speaker 4: and him down below the free throw line is dangerous
Speaker 4: for any guard. So, you know, I think it's I
Speaker 4: think it's a it's a great matchup because they do
Speaker 4: have guys who can't defend the Jason Taintum, who can't defendit,
Speaker 4: Jayalen Brown, you know, And you know, I think Jayalen
Speaker 4: you know, I think Jalen Bruston is It's probably one
Speaker 4: of the most difficult people I've seen. Nobody can guard
Speaker 4: this though, man, I mean, Jaylen Bruston is damn good.
Speaker 1: Uh. I think in order to guard Jayleen, though, you
Speaker 1: you just you have to put size on him, Like
Speaker 1: you can't like to think that you're going to put
Speaker 1: a guard his size or smaller on him.
Speaker 2: You're not going to speed him up.
Speaker 1: So if a smaller guard not going to speed him up,
Speaker 1: then they have no chance because he's just gonna use
Speaker 1: his body, gonna get this spots raised up over.
Speaker 2: So I think in order to guard Jalleen Brust and
Speaker 2: you have to guard him with size. Sometimes that may
Speaker 2: not even be a guard.
Speaker 1: Like like I told you, I said I've said before
Speaker 1: when we played the Mavericks when Jaylen Brust was there
Speaker 1: right before he left to New York. I guarded him
Speaker 1: that series because he was just he wanted to get
Speaker 1: to that MIDI you know what I'm saying, want to
Speaker 1: get into the paint body and so I can. I
Speaker 1: can take the shoulders like that's what we do in
Speaker 1: the pumps like, so I can take So I guarded
Speaker 1: him like you have to guard him with size. If
Speaker 1: you do have size on him, then the Cat and
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brunston pick and roll you can switch. I also
Speaker 1: think the problem that and I think you tripping. They
Speaker 1: don't have a chance at beating the Celtics. And the
Speaker 1: problem that they're gonna have is the Celtics defensively our Horford.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you people don't often our Horford is going
Speaker 1: to give Cat some trouble Like our Horford defensively man,
Speaker 1: especially come playoff time, he may not care all these
Speaker 1: but come play our Horford is going to give Cat fits.
Speaker 1: The Boston Celtics also have a lineup where they can
Speaker 1: switch Jason Tatum on the cat, they can switch Drew
Speaker 1: Holliday on the cat. They can switch Jaylen Brown on
Speaker 1: the cat.
Speaker 2: Well you think that because he played, because he's just
Speaker 2: picking pop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's picking pop and by the time he walked
Speaker 1: down to the to the post. Those guys have so
Speaker 1: much length, Like, they have so much length to wear.
Speaker 1: They may not have the girf although Drew Holliday, I
Speaker 1: bet you can guard Cat in the like Drew Holliday.
Speaker 2: By the way, I ain't going that far, but.
Speaker 3: I think I know for sure that Boston will be
Speaker 3: able to guard them.
Speaker 1: And so with that being said, I just don't think
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to guard Boston because JB
Speaker 1: gotta check Kat. You gotta check like everybody on Boston
Speaker 1: is a threat, like and so you can't. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't have weak links on your defense or yeah, And
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Kat is a weak defender.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying JB are week defenders.
Speaker 1: I'm saying they better come in, locked in and focus
Speaker 1: if they're gonna if they think they're gonna compete with
Speaker 1: that team. And me personally, I like the Knicks, but
Speaker 1: I don't think they can compete with the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 2: I just don't think.
Speaker 4: So what about the Sixers or anybody else? I mean,
Speaker 4: who do you think? Okay, so it's Boston. Who do
Speaker 4: you think is two, three and four.
Speaker 2: In the East?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: I got Boston, I got the Knicks, And by the way,
Speaker 1: I'll even go step further, the Knicks may end up
Speaker 1: even being the number one seed because sometimes you I'm
Speaker 1: off a championship and the Knicks gonna come out hunger
Speaker 1: try and win every game in Boston. Sometimes you just
Speaker 1: trying to get back to the playoffs, and you may
Speaker 1: drop a couple here and there, so that could happen. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: the best teams in the in the East would be Boston.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 1: I think the Knicks will ultimately be better than Philly. Okay, Orlando. Oh,
Speaker 1: and then I think you have Indiana. Oh oh, man,
Speaker 1: I forgot about Milwaukee. Let me rewind Boston is the
Speaker 1: best team alright, exclude Boston.
Speaker 2: Then you got Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: Then the Knicks.
Speaker 1: No Knicks, Milwaukee Knicks, Milwaukee Sixers, Magic, No, not six Knicks,
Speaker 1: Milwaukee with the Sixers. I'm gonna tell you what in
Speaker 1: the second yeah, Nick, Milwaukee Magic Pacers, Uh huh.
Speaker 3: And then I'll roll with the Sixers. Sixers are being
Speaker 3: fIF for six.
Speaker 2: What about the heat?
Speaker 3: The heater will be in the play in.
Speaker 2: Cleveland.
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland has a chance to be one of
Speaker 1: those teams, one of those four, four or five.
Speaker 2: They have a chance.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to figure it out fast. And
Speaker 1: you know, they got a new coach. I think Kenny's
Speaker 1: gonna do great. I'm just not sure how fast they
Speaker 1: can figured it out. Went to East tough man. But
Speaker 1: it's saying that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I My problem with the Sixers is they already hurt,
Speaker 1: and we know they struggle with injury. Who's heart, Joel?
Speaker 2: I keep me not good at all?
Speaker 1: The g now dealing with the neat hyper extension and
Speaker 1: Joel and probably not PG I ain't playing back to backs,
Speaker 1: so you're giving those games away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then them team you're gonna need them with.
Speaker 1: And so that's the Boston yeah for sure. So that's
Speaker 1: why I don't think Philly is going to be in
Speaker 1: the top four or five. I think could be five,
Speaker 1: five or six. But I don't think they are going
Speaker 1: to be up there at the upper echelonta of East teams.
Speaker 2: I don't see. I do like Indiana. I like Indiana.
Speaker 2: They play hard, they got good guard play, they play defense.
Speaker 2: I like it. I like Indiana. Yeah, I like Indiana
Speaker 2: as well. I like it.
Speaker 4: I like them over and I do like Orlando. That's
Speaker 4: my boy, Jamal Musley. But I do like Indiana a
Speaker 4: little bit more than I do Orlando.
Speaker 2: But that pop, that pollow he's said else and they
Speaker 2: brought in guy like k C. P. I think that's
Speaker 2: gonna that's gonna help them. I think that's gonna help
Speaker 2: them a lot. They still need a point guard though,
Speaker 2: they do. They do.
Speaker 1: I think Jayleen Sucks is a backup yeah, or a.
Speaker 4: Good combo guard, you know what I mean to start,
Speaker 4: But they definitely need maybe they Yeah.
Speaker 2: What you're gonna what do you think gonna happen in Atlanta? Bro?
Speaker 1: It's over for Atlanta? Okay, it's right man. They have
Speaker 1: the number one hit. Yeah, they might have a number
Speaker 1: one pick again. Damn, thank you, young boy.
Speaker 2: About to get paid though, Jaylon Johnson. They better pay nice.
Speaker 2: That kid is nice. He's gonna be all right. I
Speaker 2: mean that's the East, but uh, you know, getting out
Speaker 2: the West ain't gonna be easy either. Man. You got
Speaker 2: the thunder upgraded, right, kids are? And what's de bo?
Speaker 2: Timberwolves upgraded? Ah okay.
Speaker 3: And it's no disrespect to Julius or Cat.
Speaker 2: I just think like.
Speaker 1: It's going from it's going from Cat to Julius the
Speaker 1: thing that gets you over the Hunt. I don't think
Speaker 1: that Cat was your number one issue, So I don't
Speaker 1: think that's the thing to get you over to Hunt.
Speaker 1: I just think ultimately the timber was, and Tim Connelly
Speaker 1: is one of the better gems in the NBA. I
Speaker 1: just think Tim Connley know like, we can come back
Speaker 1: with the same team and it's still not going to
Speaker 1: be enough. So we do have to try something, you know.
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's kind of where Minnesota was.
Speaker 1: It's like you kind of gotta try something because you
Speaker 1: just know it wasn't enough before. And so I kind
Speaker 1: of view that trade more as that, like now the
Speaker 1: Knicks getting Cat, I think that I think that could
Speaker 1: be a high.
Speaker 2: But in saying that, you know, I think, but I
Speaker 2: do think the sleeper in this is de Vincenzo, No
Speaker 2: he is, he's a sleeper in there, somebody like that.
Speaker 2: They didn't have none of that at all.
Speaker 4: Last Like last year was just really depending on how
Speaker 4: An't play and Cat you know, showing up, Rudy showing up,
Speaker 4: and then everybody else would have a game or two.
Speaker 4: But they didn't have like somebody was just a spark,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, like a like a scoring spark,
Speaker 4: a spark like what an attitude too from guard play.
Speaker 1: Well for sure, and I think Dante can be that
Speaker 1: and Dante will be that. But again, I still think
Speaker 1: it boss down to their number one problem that they had.
Speaker 1: It's still the number one problem that they have. So
Speaker 1: until you correct the number one issue that you have,
Speaker 1: I know Dante is great. I think that's incredible. I
Speaker 1: et think Julius can come out and play great. But
Speaker 1: until you correct the number one issue that you have,
Speaker 1: you keep doing what you're doing, You're gonna keep getting
Speaker 1: what you're getting.
Speaker 4: And it looked like the Kings is starting to upgrade,
Speaker 4: you know, It's looked like they building, you know, the
Speaker 4: team and try and catch on after y'all beat them
Speaker 4: in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: And Damar how you feel about how you feel about
Speaker 2: the Kings.
Speaker 1: I like, I like obviously Damars. You know, twenty three
Speaker 1: plus thousand points in this league. Like was what I
Speaker 1: was saying, hall of famer for sure. Anytime you can
Speaker 1: add a hall of famer, I think you added hall
Speaker 1: of famer.
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I do think Addam Damar is going to change the
Speaker 1: way they play a little bit. But Damar is good
Speaker 1: enough to change the way you play a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's just kind of what it boils down to.
Speaker 1: I think what it ultimately does is when it get
Speaker 1: down to the nitty gritty in the playoffs and in
Speaker 1: these big games, I think it relieves the pressure of
Speaker 1: some bonus to need to score because now Damar and
Speaker 1: Fox going to have the ball, add some monk that
Speaker 1: you don't have to have the bonus trying to score
Speaker 1: down the stretch where it can get tougher, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: you can make it harder on the bonus down the
Speaker 1: stretch when they letting you really body back and.
Speaker 3: Like not call it TICKI tack files like you can
Speaker 3: make it a little tougher on him. And I think
Speaker 3: that out of tomorrow.
Speaker 2: That takes that takes him out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it takes him from being a focal point one
Speaker 4: because a big, a big part of like their offense
Speaker 4: depend on him, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But it depends on him like getting going early every
Speaker 2: time you get it then you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And so like after a while, if you know, and
Speaker 4: he's a great player, if if it ain't no flow,
Speaker 4: then the next thing is like, all right, dann you
Speaker 4: take over.
Speaker 2: Month, you take over, right.
Speaker 4: I think Damar coming in and kind of takes some
Speaker 4: of that pressure off of him having to go so hard,
Speaker 4: so early, so fast, either pick up files get you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, like getting into a lot of
Speaker 4: little murky, little foul trouble and things like that, because
Speaker 4: he has to be that that focal point of that offense.
Speaker 2: So hopefully that'll ease some of that pressure off of him,
Speaker 2: you feel me. I think it will.
Speaker 1: And I think I think like that's kind of one
Speaker 1: of the things that they have been trying to figure out,
Speaker 1: you know, in these big games and stuff, and so
Speaker 1: I think that ultimately takes that away. Now and Adam
Speaker 1: Lamar and he shot the ball well in the preseason,
Speaker 1: but he got to keep on shooting him. You know,
Speaker 1: you lose like having he heard her uh you know
Speaker 1: with the floor spacing and all that. But again, you
Speaker 1: replace Herder with DeMar DeRozan any day of the week.
Speaker 1: So that's neither here nor there. I think they definitely
Speaker 1: upgraded for sure. Hell yeah, breakout player. You got any
Speaker 1: breakout guys, young fellas, any of the guys that you
Speaker 1: expect me to break out this year?
Speaker 4: I think Jalen Green, I think I thank him and
Speaker 4: the big dude, uh saying I don't call him saying geek,
Speaker 4: say goom.
Speaker 2: I like him. I think he's gonna have a breakout year.
Speaker 2: Uh kay. Cunningham is gonna be an All Star this year.
Speaker 2: I do. I like that. That's my guy. I think
Speaker 2: k Cunningham becomes an All Star this year and even
Speaker 2: winning two games.
Speaker 4: Now they're gonna list some games, you don't say, I
Speaker 4: think Detroder is gonna list some games like they they
Speaker 4: they got a different coach, right, yeah, yeah, who's the
Speaker 4: coach now? Bing they got a new coach, So now
Speaker 4: you're gonna see they were in a lot of games
Speaker 4: last year they just couldn't figure out how to finish,
Speaker 4: And then a lot of times he was keeping them
Speaker 4: in games. So I just think he's gonna have a
Speaker 4: breakout year. And then my comeback player of the year. Oh,
Speaker 4: another breakout year, Trey Man Ain't Charlotte Ah okay, I
Speaker 4: like that about you.
Speaker 1: My breakout player. I'm gonna go Jonathan Cominga. I think
Speaker 1: JK is due for a big year. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna take some huge steps. So I'm gonna go JK.
Speaker 1: I like your Jay, I like your Jalen Green pick.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that's that's a really great pick. So
Speaker 1: I'll plase you on that one. Uh. My second breakout
Speaker 1: player of this year, I am going to go with
Speaker 1: I am going to go with Devin Vasell. I think
Speaker 1: Devinll is going to have a really big year for
Speaker 1: the Spurs. Everybody's talking about Winby next to CP, but
Speaker 1: people tend to forget JJ Reddick next to CP and
Speaker 1: Devin Vaselle. They run a lot of sets for it.
Speaker 1: They could havem coming off screens, he can shoot the ball.
Speaker 1: CP gonna find him. CEP also gonna help him out
Speaker 1: born in his pick and roll game. I think Devin
Speaker 1: Vasell is going to have a breakout, big year for
Speaker 1: the same game.
Speaker 2: I like it. I like his game. I think the
Speaker 2: Spurs gonna be uh here, will be a team to
Speaker 2: reckon with.
Speaker 3: Absolutely like they're gonna be some people.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, they're.
Speaker 3: Gonna be some people. For stung, I'm not. I don't
Speaker 3: think they get into the playoffs.
Speaker 2: But no, they definitely gonna be some people, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: But so that's a that's a good ass call right there.
Speaker 2: That that's a good call. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: I think Kevin Porter Junior too. If the Clippers let
Speaker 4: him rock, you got him. You got him and James
Speaker 4: two lefties, come on, yo.
Speaker 1: Two lefties just don't feel right though it feels too left.
Speaker 1: Both of them can rock of course now with him
Speaker 1: coming off the bench, you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean, I feel like a lot of left hands.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying a lot of left hands.
Speaker 1: But they both are Nights before we get out of here, Man,
Speaker 1: opening night of the last season of Inside the NBA,
Speaker 1: I want to drop a tier, as I'm sure most
Speaker 1: people do. But can you share, like some of the like,
Speaker 1: what share may be your favorite moment when.
Speaker 4: You worked on that show, man, I think every time
Speaker 4: I worked it was just a privilege because you get
Speaker 4: to be around shot. Usually I would come in and like,
Speaker 4: if Kenny was on the road, they have me come in.
Speaker 4: Got the rock with Barkley, who are legend. And if
Speaker 4: it's no Barkley, there's no us in media, you know.
Speaker 4: I remember the time I did fill in for Barkley.
Speaker 4: I put a bunch of snacks in his drawer and
Speaker 4: I was like going through his drawer during the show, putting.
Speaker 2: The snacks out.
Speaker 4: But the thing I love about the show is like
Speaker 4: they encourage you to like try spontaneous shit, you know.
Speaker 4: And then I say, when we nod on the show,
Speaker 4: the best part is the camaraderie, getting to know people.
Speaker 4: You play against these dudes all your life, or you
Speaker 4: idolize them. Look, you know you idolize them, but you
Speaker 4: never really get a chance to have a conversation and
Speaker 4: to see them be normal people. And so like that's
Speaker 4: where like my joy was. Obviously I beat Shack to
Speaker 4: the board who was running, But every little thing was cool. Uh,
Speaker 4: every time I felt in it was just a cool
Speaker 4: it was a cool situation.
Speaker 1: I thought I got a chance to like show my
Speaker 1: personality and then I did the players only thing.
Speaker 2: Too, when they ran that for a year.
Speaker 4: So that was hell of cool working with see Web two,
Speaker 4: seeing c Web and KG like meet for the first time,
Speaker 4: Like that was that was the craziest shit I had
Speaker 4: ever seen in my life. Man, when Chris Webber met
Speaker 4: Kevin Garnett at TNT on the first day of Players Only,
Speaker 4: So I was like, that was a moment where I
Speaker 4: was like, damn, Doug. We playing this game for so long,
Speaker 4: and like we never get a chance to get the
Speaker 4: people roses that we we battled against, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean. And so like that was kind of like
Speaker 4: my approach on the Stoke. It's like I want the
Speaker 4: young dudes to know we love them, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, we give them their roses.
Speaker 2: And then also like just being in that company was incredible.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know what I run. I won the
Speaker 2: Indy five hundred shit, we had the cars. We have
Speaker 2: to uh.
Speaker 1: We was racing kids though on the Indy. On the
Speaker 1: Indie drag racing. I smoked everybody canas Parker. Everybody brought it.
Speaker 2: You know, that's old South Central, that's my old South
Speaker 2: Central ways. I get out. What about you? What was
Speaker 2: you know? I mean, you've been on the show, and
Speaker 2: you know, I like the addition. You feel what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: appreciate it. I appreciate it. Yeah, Like tell me how
Speaker 2: you feel about the you know, the show and all that.
Speaker 1: I think number one, like you said, man, just going
Speaker 1: on that show as an honor, the way those guys
Speaker 1: all for Ernie, Chuck, Shaq, Kenny, you know, all the producers,
Speaker 1: you know them having me on that show, It's just
Speaker 1: always a special feeling for me. Like there's never not
Speaker 1: a time that when I go up there, I'm not like, wow,
Speaker 1: like this is amazing. I can't believe I'm up here.
Speaker 1: I think my favorite times, man, some of my favorite
Speaker 1: times are like, like the show is incredible, and I
Speaker 1: think when they brought out them them wild rodents, that's
Speaker 1: my most memorable time because it's just like why do
Speaker 1: we have rodents? Like why do we have rodents up here?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but like, like what are we doing? I
Speaker 1: came here to talk about basketball? Man, Like I'd say,
Speaker 1: that's one of my most memorable times. It's always fun, man,
Speaker 1: chasing Kenny to the board, chasing Shock to the board,
Speaker 1: you know, like all these different things, the jokes, Chuck
Speaker 1: and Shot getting into it You're sitting up there, it's like, man,
Speaker 1: you feel like sometimes like yo, is he really about
Speaker 1: to get up to hit him? You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like just all of those moments, and then also like
Speaker 1: who they all are as the people Like Shaq had
Speaker 1: me at his home, you know what I'm saying, like.
Speaker 3: Gave me a I went and did his podcast and
Speaker 3: you know, have some food for us.
Speaker 1: And like when someone opened up their home to you,
Speaker 1: that's the ultimate respect, you know what I'm saying, Like Chuck,
Speaker 1: Chuck always hey, man, where are we going, Like like
Speaker 1: let's go come with me, You go with me, We're
Speaker 1: going to get a drink. We're going here, like we're
Speaker 1: doing this afterwards.
Speaker 3: And you know Kenny, Kenny's just always want to have
Speaker 3: a conversation.
Speaker 1: He's teaching you stuff, you know. So, man, I think
Speaker 1: I think it's in then Ernie the best man in
Speaker 1: the world. Like you just want to know how you're doing,
Speaker 1: how your family.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So just being able to interact with them, to step
Speaker 1: in their world and go on the stage with those guys. Man,
Speaker 1: it's always an honor and a pleasure. I'm sick to
Speaker 1: see the show lead even because it's you know, I
Speaker 1: always tell you like people talk ship and we all
Speaker 1: do like, man, shut up shocking, shut up shocking. They
Speaker 1: don't know what they talking about. Man, we are the
Speaker 1: reason everybody gets so but hurt about what they be
Speaker 1: saying is because we all look.
Speaker 2: To that show for validation.
Speaker 1: And as an NBA player, when you play well, like
