We were just reminiscing about all 72 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: the good stuff that we did, just riding the bus ride, 73 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: talking crazy on the court. Me and Kyle used to 74 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: do a shooting game every day. Obviously he was a 75 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: way better shooter than me, but I beat him a 76 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: couple of times, and I made sure to let him 77 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: know when I won, And we were just talking about 78 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: some of those moments. 79 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 4: You don't play it in a couple a couple of eras. Man, 80 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like now to be in 81 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 4: the game with how. 82 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,279 Speaker 3: Y'all saying like after seven to eight years. 83 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 4: You are now like a super veteran. Yeah, people don't 84 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 4: really last that long. So explain how the game changed 85 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: from when you first started out. 86 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: When I first started, h it was like a slow game. 87 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: You threw the ball in the post. And then you 88 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: had Joe Johnson. I was on tune with Joe, so 89 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: he got the chance to play IO a lot. The 90 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: nasty years went on, it was way more three point shots. 91 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: Like you didn't shoot fast break threes when I first 92 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: got in the league. 93 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying all this, Nah, you ain't 94 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: doing that. 95 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: Now you get kicked out of the game. 96 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, but now you gotta shoot him. 97 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: So like watching that, just that whole transition is crazy, 98 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: But it was just how cool to be able to 99 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: be a part of both of those eras, so I 100 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: get to hear the old heads talk crazy about how 101 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: bad the game is. But then I was also part 102 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: of the era where you got to shoot a bunch 103 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: of thirty so it's cool. 104 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 4: So so give us a teammate who had like the 105 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 4: biggest impact on your career, because it's a lot of 106 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 4: ends and out when it comes to the game and 107 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: when it comes to the business, Like who was that 108 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 4: big bro for you? 109 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 3: Man? 110 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: It was it was a guy Damian Wilkins, Dominique's nephew. 111 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: He was on the team with this one year and uh, 112 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: that was my second year in the league. He just 113 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: pulled me to the side because I loved Atlanta. And 114 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: when I say I loved Atlanta, I was outside. I 115 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: was outside. 116 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: So he just. 117 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: Pulled me in and like, let me know, you can 118 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: do both, but you got to keep the main thing 119 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: the main thing. And uh, it kind of really saved 120 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: my career because I was on a path of this. 121 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: I was gonna be out of there. Know, you don't 122 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: play long. It's only four years. It's like the average career. 123 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: I was in year two and I wasn't playing that much. 124 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: So he pulled me to the side and he helped 125 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: me out. 126 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 4: So speaking of not playing that much and knowing your 127 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 4: potential and knowing like I watched you, I watched you 128 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 4: grow here, and I watched you become a starter. I 129 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 4: watched you go and go to the other team you 130 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 4: played for him and become a champion. I know, I 131 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 4: know it hurts, but just talk that elevation and the 132 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: transition in the game. When you gotta wait your turn 133 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 4: and when it's time for you to shine, that's when 134 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 4: you got to go. 135 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: Out there and give y'all. 136 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, at that time, when I came to the league, 137 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: you had to learn, like not too many people just 138 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: started right away. 139 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: You had to be like the. 140 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: Top ten pick, top five pick, and you got your 141 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: chance to start.
