1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,720 Speaker 1: Who could I call to put up a billboard in 2 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: somebody else? CYD talk my shit? 3 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 2: Able to do that? That isn't that's legendary. That's pretty good. 4 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: I'm proud of that one. I need that one. That 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: one was good. The backstory on that one is funny 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 2: because originally I'm trying to buy a newspaper ad. They 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: say it's one hundred thousand dollars just to put a 8 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: newspaper a Yeah, well back then. Yeah, it's a little 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: longer ago, but you're right, it shouldn't have been that much. 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: But we were looking for estimates and uh, the Cleveland 11 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: plane dealer, because Lebron was coming back home, refused to 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: sell it to us. They said, no, we're not doing that. 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: They refused our business. Uh, and so we needed an alternative. 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: And it turns out that Akron billboards are like much 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: less than that, and so so they saved me a 16 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: lot of money. And it was like eleven or six 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: Acron I don't remember how many Acron billboards and they 18 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: all said, yes, Uh, you're welcome, Lebron love Miami is 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: what they said. And I was going to fly a 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: plane over as homecoming that said the same thing. It 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: was set up. I had the banner and everything. It 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 2: was set up. I will tell you a secret. I'll 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: tell you a secret I've never I've never told before that. 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: ESPN made me immediately take down the billboards and they 25 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: immediately told me you can't fly that plane. And so 26 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: I got a I got a call from a high 27 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: ranking member of the Miami Heat Organization, UH saying I'm 28 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: going to fly the plane. I'm going to do it. 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: And I'm like, you can't do that, you can't, you 30 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: can't do that. I'm gone fire. You're gonna get me fired. 31 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna have plause deniabilities that somebody else fly 32 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: the plane. It's gonna look like an action. 33 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: Whoever was talking about flying that plane was probably willing 34 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: to go down with the motherucker. 35 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: It was a dark cloud. It was for a while. 36 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: We went in a funk for a while when we 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: lost the king around here. I mean that, I don't know, 38 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: that's just natural. It was a little dark cloud. It 39 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: was for a minute when he left. 40 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 3: Talk about that though, So you're in the you're in 41 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: obviously the media uproar when bron chose to come here, 42 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: and then when bron chooses to leave here. So talk 43 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 3: about Yeah, talk about the highs and lows of on 44 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: your side, what you're hearing, what you're seeing, what's going 45 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: on when he says he's coming and the Big Three comes, 46 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 3: and then when he leaves. I'd like to hear the difference. 47 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I was just profoundly grateful for all of it. 48 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: It was just a it's a content bonanza. You're coming 49 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 2: down to our city and you're making us like this 50 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: just electrical pulsating thing for Paul millsaps Game seventeen, and 51 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: you're like watching this thing that matters so much to 52 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: the city because it's very much Miami against the United States. 53 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: The only other time it's been like that was University 54 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: of Miami football teams that make him stop being a 55 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: Gator for a second, you know, like those because what 56 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: those those teams were hated and Miami forged around them, 57 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: and it was like, yes, this is an ethnic fun 58 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: team that trample sportsmanship. You guys were that polarizing without 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 2: any of the bat like, without any of the stuff 60 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: that was going to horrify the white customer that you 61 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 2: knew about that you knew about it, that you knew 62 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: about it, right, but you guys. So you're the polarizing 63 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: theme thing coast to coast, and only polarizing because you 64 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: celebrated the championship before we dribbled the basketball. 65 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: It would have hear something crazy because you touched on 66 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: it earlier about how hard it is and it's not fun. 67 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: People don't understand that. 68 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: People think like, once we got that team together that 69 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: it was fun and and they just messed and it 70 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: just jailed and we just had to we had to parade. 71 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, nothing about that shit 72 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: was fun until you were riding down the street in 73 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: that parade. That's the only part about that shit that 74 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: was fun. None of that shit was fun because there 75 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: was expectations, and we understood those expectations. If we don't win, 76 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: they gonna blow this shit up. And now we sacrifice money. 77 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: We sacrificed time. Mike talked about this before we sacrificed money. 78 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: We sacrificed time, and we're getting traded some. 79 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: Fun and and we're game away, game away, game in Boston. 80 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: Away from your sacrificees meant nothing. That gooing laughter about 81 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: the sacrifices that you made, laughing stocks because you guys 82 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: took all the discounts and look at that. It was 83 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: supposed to be easy. One of the weird things that 84 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: I'll never get though, because God, you guys change the 85 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: sports so much over the last fifteen years, so I 86 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: figure that it's going to be easy that those years, 87 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 2: and it wasn't easy. And I think you guys get 88 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: the reputation that you have as hard earned champions because 89 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: it was hard. If it had been easy, it would 90 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: have liked Lebron would have been looked at less than 91 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: and Dwayne too if it had been easy. But the 92 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: part that was confusing to me. So Durant sees him 93 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: do that, and Lebron did that because Pearce and Garnett 94 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: and Allen were together, and Durant does it and they 95 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: win easily, and I'm like, well, that must be fun, right, 96 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: Like they win easily, Like it must be fun to 97 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: play basketball like that. That's the greatest thing I ever seen. 98 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: You can pass the Durant, you can or you can 99 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: pass the step and Draymonald do all the shit. 100 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: Only he wants to let me ask you this because 101 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: how was that not fun for him? 102 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: But why? 103 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: And because I want to talk about this, But this 104 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: is what I noticed Why was the Miami Heats team 105 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: hated for the decision we made? But I think Golden 106 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: State team was loved. We were more first go to take. 107 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: They love Clay, they love stuff. That that team were 108 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: first was lifted and they were loved. But when Braun 109 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: came to us, we were hated. Why was that a 110 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: different reaction from the media and from the world. 111 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: I can answer to I think honestly, and I'm gonna 112 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: let you answer too, because you'll be You're way better 113 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 3: at that than I am. But I think the reality 114 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: is like they hated us so much for doing it 115 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: that they had to love someone else to do it. 116 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 3: But before again, right like they hated us for doing it, 117 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 3: they hated us for doing it. I don't know how 118 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: you guy saw it on the media side of things, 119 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: but like we it was. It was a blessing to 120 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,559 Speaker 3: me because I'd never been in relevance in the NBA. 121 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 3: Like I hadn't been in relevance. Is the reason I 122 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 3: came here. I wanted to see what I do on 123 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 3: the stage. I wanted to like either I was gonna 124 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: ship myself, I'm gonna actually perform. But that to me 125 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: is they hate us so much that now you need 126 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 3: someone to like. And when they did it, I think 127 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: it was more of the like. 128 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: On that side. 129 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: I thought it was because step and play with light 130 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: skin That's what I'm just being honest. 131 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: See, see you know it was going around. I had 132 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: the undercurrent of it, and I'm like, I can't say 133 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: that I'm not. I felt it off him, and I'm 134 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: like thinking to myself twenty words, he says light skinning. 135 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: But also am I wrong? Am I wrong? Well? I 136 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: look not how the two teams were perceived. I don't 137 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: think you're wrong. And I think there are a lot 138 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: of variables. And I think you were first and and 139 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: and look that doing the thing on the stage. Yes, 140 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: I don't need to tell you that arrogant black athlete. However, 141 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: it is that you arrive at arrogant black athletes celebrating 142 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 2: something before it has been earned is going to be 143 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: seen a certain way. So there's that, but i'd put 144 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: that off to the side. I'd also put in there 145 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: that Dwayne and Lebron throughout all of that, became adult 146 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: spokesman for things ranging from UH Trayvon Martin to UH 147 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: to we need to improve our schools, and became adults 148 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: in a way that Steph and Clay have not had 149 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 2: to because Dwayne and Lebron were already doing that and 150 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: we're sort of leaders there and and like I I 151 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: found that entire time fascinating, captivating for a lot of 152 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: different reasons. Uh, the brotherhood of Dwayne and Lebron was beautiful. 153 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: Lebron coming here and taking a little brother role and 154 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: doing two media sessions a day, and and and wanting 155 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: to learn from Dwayne.

I was so proud 174 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: to write about it, to see it, to feel it, 175 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: to be next to it, to profit off of it, 176 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 2: because you guys brought a whole economy of attention down 177 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: here to sports. You guys, I moved to the Cleveland Er. 178 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: We got a studio. I'm doing a speedo back with 179 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: Charles Barkley. We're at the center of the universe in 180 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: sports because you guys brought all of that here. Him 181 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: with his bad. 182 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: Back, Motheruck's still bad still. But I don't what you 183 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: don't know about that story. I'll tell you something that 184 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: you don't know about that story. As me and Mike 185 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: were talking about that story and we talked about what 186 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: they offered him, and we talked about what we were 187 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: going to do because of the brotherhood that we have, 188 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: and Mike crazy as hell. He was like yeah, if 189 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: you ain't going, I ain't going, you know what I'm saying, 190 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: And that was that's that's what my brother was like, 191 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: what we what we're gonna do here, because we always 192 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: wanted to have the chance to play together and we 193 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: talked about that since college. But that was around the 194 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: time that the game was changing and the three point 195 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: shot was what it was. It was either dunks in 196 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: the paint or it was three point shots. So obviously 197 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: Mike was the choice at that moment, but we we 198 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: were having conversations behind the scenes because you talk about 199 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: that brotherhood and those things and those conversations. And then 200 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: another point that people don't know is Lebron didn't know me, 201 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: never played with me. Chris Bosh didn't know you never played. 202 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: You were on Dwayne Wade's word is what you were on? Dwayne? 203 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: You that Dwayne Wade cash that check. And it's like 204 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: and it's like, we're all going to share our money here, 205 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: and this is gonna be fun, right the five of them. 206 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: So this is gonna be fun. Well, we'll just we'll 207 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 2: take the discounts. We'll sign you guys, weren't They weren't 208 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: signing contracts until the stage was coming up right, and 209 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: you guys are taking millions less and and it's crazy 210 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: to think that sports would be such a cauldron that 211 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: you guys couldn't enjoy any of that when it seemed 212 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: like from where I was watching, it was the most 213 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: magical thing that for me, it broke you did. But 214 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 2: how but how great is that you wanted to test 215 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: yourself against? How cool is that? Mike? This is what 216 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 2: I'm saying about what the cool parts of this story were. 217 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: How cool is it that he wants to test himself 218 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: against the best? He could have scored twenty a night 219 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: for Memphis for the rest of time. No, I want 220 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 2: to play against I want to play against the best. 221 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: They think he's taking a shortcut. No know, if you 222 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: give me fifteen shots a game, I swear to you, 223 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 2: I'll score thirty aday. Like he knows he can shoot. 224 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: He's taking a lesser role in the name of the 225 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: sacrifice of everybody wants to be about winning, right, brotherhood winning? 226 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: These are cool things for him to physically test himself 227 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: against the best. I don't know what it's like to 228 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: get up in the morning. Is his physical body It 229 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: seems like it would be awful lose a shoe, lose 230 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: a shoe, starts making threes, helps win the championship. It's 231 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 2: a fucking beautiful story. 232 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: So the way you see it now, it's beautiful. 233 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 2: Way you see it now? Did you always see it 234 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: like that? 235 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: Or now if you've got no odering, you've become more 236 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: experienced than there's different ways to look at this media thing. 237 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: Is that how you see it now? Well, it's not 238 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 2: even the media thing, it's sports in life. I really 239 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: appreciate the hard things that people do to be excellent writers. 240 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: I one of the things about the sports media that 241 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: I think I can say it's probably a generalization, but 242 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: we love sports. We're just not good enough to do 243 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: what it is that you guys did, but telling the 244 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: stories about it and loving it and celebrating it and 245 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: being awed by the strength in it.
