00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: Everybody know what happened in the finals and you came

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: out and was like it was ludicrous to think that

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: anybody forced you or anything like that. I just want

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: to hear your viewpoint on how you approached the whole

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: injury and your what your mindset, because I mean, obviously

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 2: it was a million opinions and thoughts about what you

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: thought you were gonna do and the plan and what

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 2: what was your initial plan after learning what was going

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: on with you, cause I remember I text you that night,

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: right wouldn't happened. We talked to you like, you know,

50
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: I gotta see what's up. But you know what I'm saying,

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: because you weren't sure yet. So it was like from

52
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: then I remember that, like people were saying this. They

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 2: started rumors that night, and I remember you Sam Mataus said,

54
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 2: he don't he not sure? You know what I'm saying,

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: He going to get this. You checked out, see what's up?

56
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 2: And so just you know, this is hindsight. How many

57
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: months later everything is done? Like how do you feel

58
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: about everything with that? And what is from your perspective?

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: What was going on.

60
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: When I I mean when I was pulled my partially

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: tore my cab muscle. I mean a slight strain. It

62
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: wasn't That's exactly what it said on the MRI, Like

63
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I was just so it was a partially

64
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: calve like yeah, it was like yeah, my calf at

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: you know, when you got like a slight tear. It's

66
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: not like a full tear in your cab, but it's

67
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: just like you know, your muscle fiber was pulled a

68
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: little bit too far. You know what I'm saying, So

69
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: it cast some irritation in my in my cab, up

70
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: in my legs. So like, yeah, that was gonna take

71
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: four or five weeks to kind of get right back

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: to where I was. So I was planning on playing

73
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: in the finals when it happened. Anyway, anyway, you know

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So like game I was Game five,

75
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: I was, I mean four, I was like, man asking

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: the trainer every day, you think we could play in

77
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: this game? You think I'll be able to play in

78
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: this game? He was like, ah, yeah, maybe game five

79
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: looking more realistic. So like I just worked until then

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: and you know, checked every box before the game, like

81
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: got get, did my whole routine, worked out, everything felt good,

82
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: and then boom in the game it happened. I'm just like,

83
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: I can't really trip because I went through all the

84
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: steps that I had to go through and it just

85
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: happened that way. Sometimes you gotta take it on the chin,

86
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: like you know what you're gonna get into when you're

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: playing ball. You might injure something, you know what I'm saying.

88
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: I was looking at you on your warm up before

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: the game, and you was looking good. You dunk, you

98
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: was in such a zone that you forgot that you

99
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: even had ship going on. It was because it was

00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: I felt like you was already I'm going into blackout mode.

104
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: So I was like he was already there, and it

105
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: was like at that point, I don't know nothing. It

00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 2: was like I'm just going to my ship.

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: And then that I was like it just I was

112
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,400

113
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I felt like I was

114
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: back at the park, stepped back real hard like, and

115
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: then I was like boom. I felt it immediately. It

Speaker 3: was like a pop, and I was like nah, and

117
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: I looked back. I was like, fuck, I want a sideline.

00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: slantt you know what I'm saying. So like I was

120
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,600

00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 3: ship ain't crazy, you know what I'm saying. I left

Speaker 3: me just regather myself, and like my whole career just

126
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: went flashing in front of my eyes. I'm like, all right,

127
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: what's next? You know what I'm saying. Once everything kind

00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: of cleared up and I understood what was going on,

129
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: I was just like, all right, let me get surgery

130
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: and let me just go sit up and chill until

131
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: I'm ready to get on my feet, you know what

132
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So since then, since the game, I've been

133
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: on this grind. Yeah. Yeah.

134
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: What was your reaction to see Clay get hurt? That

135
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: was like it's like we was already devastated and you

136
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: heard it was like another knife to the.

137
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: To the heart because Looney was he had like a

138
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: broken something up there and he came back to play

139
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: and we was like all banged up. So he's just

140
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: like damn, Like Looney got hurt on the freaking play.

141
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: And then you know, I'm watching the game, I'm I

142
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: think I just got surgery. Maybe I don't remember, but Bob,

143
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: I'm calling Bob Myers throughout the game, you know, we

144
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: bouncing texts, and I see Clay go up. I'm like, yo,

145
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: please don't tell me. Ain't nothing serious. But when Clay

146
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: on the back, I know it's serious because he don't

147
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 3: never leave the court.

148
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: Like he's not like that. He was like out there

149
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: walking around. See I'm good.

150
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: I'm not one of those walked back to the locker

151
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: room dudes. Like he's not doing that, Like his ship

152
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: gotta be off, you know what I'm saying, like for

153
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: him to do that. So when he walked back and

154
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: he was limping, I'm like, he must really be hurt

155
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: because he don't do that type of stuff. So but

156
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,440

Speaker 3: we have every player that had great memories in orcs.

194
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,640

199
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 3: people in the organization and the fans at Oracle such

200
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: a special place because did you have Yeah, crazy man,

201
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: like they put a lot of work into that. Just

202
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: being there for the last three years, you've seen the process,

203
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: you know, from Joe lake Up and his team and

204
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: Peter Goober and Rick Wells, like those brilliant business minds.

205
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: You know, they had a vision for that and that

206
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: shit came together perfect. That's the best one in the league.

207
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: Do you see the locker room? It was good to

208
00:09:59,000 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 3: see that. Man.

209
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: Free agency you got you chose Brooklyn out of the

210
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: free agents.

211
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: That you went through.

212
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: What'd you think about all the other teams that made

213
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of moves that switched up their teams and

214
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: so forth on, what do you think about them?

215
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think this was a time where I mean,

216
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: you had the best of the best as free agents,

217
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: and majority of these guys have accomplished a lot in

218
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: their careers and just wanted to choose a place where

219
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: they can get everything from the living arrangents to coaches.

220
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: They wanted the players that they want on their teams

221
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 3: to just everything. And I think, you know, it was

222
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: only great for the league when you got the players

223
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: putting themselves in positions to you know, affect organizations like

224
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: the Clippers who haven't been put in a position like

225
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 3: this before, you know what I'm saying, Like now the

226
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 3: nets Like now it's opening doors for like not just

227
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: the Lakers, Knicks, you know the best, but like Boston's

228
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: the traditional teams and some teams that would brand and

229
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 3: new face to starting to get an opportunity to get

230
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: some of these bigger name players. And you're seeing owners

231
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 3: building billion dollar arenas to keep players there. So it's

232
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 3: only adding more service to the league. So people trying

233
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: to compete to keep their players now. So it's just

234
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: it's all like an arms race. But it's all fun,

235
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: it's all good for the game. It's all pushing the

236
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: game forward and make the anticipation for this season even

237
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 3: more I think for.

238
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: A big treat as far as like the season, And

239
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: if you're a fan, I think you have now more

240
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: than ever, you have a real hope, like, man, maybe

241
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: my team could get one of these guys, because before

242
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: you didn't have much hope of that. Now it's like

243
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: you see different teams Utah signing guys and making deals

244
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: for the big guys that made big moves this year,

245
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 2: and you know, different teams you're not used to doing that.

246
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: They added such a cool element to a fan experience

247
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 3: now because like free agencies now is almost like your

248
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 3: team winning the championship. So Clippers got PG in Kawhi

249
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 3: like they really had to. That was a victory Like

250
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: when absolutely even you talk when they got Mike Conley,

251
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: like that's a victory for that fan.

252
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: Just for the Clippers in particular. I mean you have

253
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: to understand, we know from being there those fans, it's

254
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: like we got he chose us over the Lakers. That's

255
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: that's a win.

256
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, he chose us.

257
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: Could you imagine that, like twenty years ago fathom thinking

258
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: about the Clips. Come on, man, we were there like

259
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: nobody we had three Maxes open, nobody talk everybody.

260
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: So like now all these organizations feel like, man, we

261
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: just like one player away. You know what I'm saying.

262
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: You never know why. You know, this guy might be

263
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 3: from Sacramento, he might want to come home, you know

264
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Like, we got so many dudes from

265
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: all around the country that may want to go back

266
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: to their hometowns to play, and it's going to open

267
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: up so much for the league and it's gonna be

268
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: an amazing Yeah.

269
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: I think I feel like, you know, people have put

270
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: their opinions of why you made mood you made. I

271
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: just want to hear your reason is in your own words.

272
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: What made you choose Brooklyn and what are you looking

273
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: forward to it with Brooklyn?

274
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: Well, just a basketball experience, you know, it's a whole experience.

275
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: And learn so much from just looking at my whole

276
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: basketball life from high school to college. Learned so much

277
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: in college and you know, obviously, okay, see in Golden State,

278
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: it was just a part of my basketball journey to

279
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 3: step into something new. So taking everything I learned along

280
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: the way and pouring it into my new environment and

281
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 3: my new teammates, new coaching staff. You know, we'll see

282
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 3: what happens. But I'm excited about it. But I think

283
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 3: I've learned so much up until this point that you know,

284
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 3: no matter where I play basketball, I'm make a team

285
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: to keep getting better.

286
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Thirty five and seven. Like you know, we all know

287
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: you for number thirty five. You made thirty five famous. Yeah,

288
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: but you chose number seven in New York while it

289
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: was the change and what made you do that?

290
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: I mean, it was something I was thinking about for

291
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 3: a while. You know, thirty five was a number that

292
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: was kind of agreed upon you know, my whole family,

293
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: like you should wear this is a cool idea for

294
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 3: you to wear that, And you know I carried that

295
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 3: for a while and it was time for me to

296
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: kind of step outside of that and put that up

297
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: in the rafters and my personal you know, you know,

298
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: put to hang it up and just kind of step

299
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: into a new realm. It's a new perspective of me,

300
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. And it's like it started

301
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: with something subtle as a number, changing it and cause

302
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: it kind of got my vision on it, just solely

303
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: my vision on it, you know. So it's just part

304
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: of evolution. And it wasn't seven was number seven, man.

305
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: It was my mom's birthdays on the seventh. You know,

306
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: you know what the number seven stands for, and you know,

307
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: spirituality and just awakening and so much went into it,

308
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. It's seven seven Seven is

309
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 3: a lucky number.

310
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: You know.

311
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: It was just so much you see it around so much,

312
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: and my grandmother's birthdays on the seventeen. You know, so

313
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: so much went into it. And I wont the single

314
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: digit number. So it's cool.

315
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irvin one of my favorite players, and you chose

316
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: to come to Brooklyn with Kyrie irving elaborate on him,

317
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: like while you chose him and what you've seen in

318
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: him that you feel like you can go on this

319
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: next journey with.

320
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: I men playing with two great point guards. I like

321
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: connecting with point guard since the kid, my best friend

322
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: on the team, has been a point guard since I

323
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: was nine years old.

324
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: You know.

325
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, running up and down to Cory,

326
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 3: a point guard, always looking for you, you know what

327
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

328
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: So like smart point guard.

329
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: He didn't want to pass the connection with the points.

330
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: You know, that's always been my thing because you know

331
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: they gonna get you the rock I love, you know

332
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So like just knowing so many point

333
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: guards and just being cool with all of them in

334
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: the league. You know, Damon is like one of my

335
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: closest friends, you know what I'm saying. So just getting

336
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: to see their mindset and then being around Kyrie for

337
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: a year and then having so many people behind the

338
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: scenes that we mutual friends and his game is flawless

339
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: to me, So like it was just it was an easy,

340
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: easy decision to be like, all right, go from Steph

341
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: to Russell Westbrook to Steph Curry like, I'm blessed in

342
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: my career to play with three point guards. And I

343
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: haven't played with Kay yet but looking forward to it.

344
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: But three point guards that we work so well together.

345
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: We set each other up, and it's like that's how

346
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: the game supposed to be played with a wing and

347
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: a point guard. So it's like I always envisioned that

348
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: for myself, playing with the best point guards in the league.

349
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, me and my homeboys talking about that, I was like, man,

350
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: you play with three of the best point gods of

351
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: this era. You know what I'm saying, Like, who gets

352
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: a chance to play with that?

353
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: That's that's unbelievable.

354
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: That's rare. I man, I mean, it's just and it

355
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: worked perfectly, you know what I'm saying, Like everybody shine perfectly.

356
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: You know, hopefully it works that way. I know it

357
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: will with me and Kai, you know what I'm saying.

358
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: But like everybody got their game off and got better

359
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: at along the way.

360
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: I saw the big Dre DeAndre Jordan had a big

361
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: part of you. You know, I started you and Kyrie

362
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: took kind of like some haircuts to make sure that

363
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: y'all can take care of him. Talk about his importance

364
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: and his impact on you guys coming together and why

365
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: it was important for you guys to take the haircuts.

366
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: So y'all, can you know what I'm saying, make sure

367
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 2: he got situated and got straight too.

368
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: I mean, first off, DJ is a center that you need,

369
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: and you know what I'm saying, all start playing player,

370
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: but the rim affects so much on the offensive side

371
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: of the ball, rolling, rebounding, so like to have them

372
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: on the team. It's only gonna be good for us.

373
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: But outside of that, that's our boy, you know what

374
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Playing the Olympics with him, you know, I

375
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: think that's when we really form the bond.

376
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: One of the funniest and coolest due anybody don't know,

377
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: one of the fun He's gonna make it a lot

378
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: lighter in the locker room.

379
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: I know that actually always smiling, got a good vibe.

380
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 3: But as a competitor, wants to win. I think at

381
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: this point in his career like he wants to help

382
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: build something and you know, something that can eventually lead

383
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: to a championship and something special. So I mean, we

384
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: got big visions, big dreams, and obviously they take a

385
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: lot of work. But DJ it is something you know,

386
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 3: he's seen a vision that we all had and wanted

387
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: to see if we can make it work.

388
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: You've seen last year. Then Woodie and the Vert played

389
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: good on their team last year. Like them two guys,

390
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: they have to step up. The only do they got

391
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: to step up this year without you, But they're gonna

392
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: have to step up too. Yeah, when you come back,

393
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: like speak on them to guys in general, that that's

394
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: part of our arsenal to help.

395
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it was great that they got the

396
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: play experience last year and knowing what it's like to

397
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 3: be in the series and being tight games, and I

398
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 3: think that's only going to help them. And I mean

399
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 3: you just gotta let them progress. I mean, it's just

400
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 3: natural for them. They're just natural basketball players. Like it's

401
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: not like I'm gonna go in there and just like

402
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: tell them what to do. They know exactly how to play,

403
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 3: you know, and I feel like they got a right

404
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: approach to it, and you know, they already know what

405
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: the situation is. But like Torrian Prince, I think that's

406
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 3: the one for us who's gonna have to step up

407
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: and you know, continue to keep growing and keep getting better.

408
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 3: Because he got the skills, he had the mind that

409
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: he got the Yeah, he just he got all the skills.

410
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 3: And I think playing with a winning program now and

411
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: a team that's a spot that's got dreams of winning big,

412
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: I think that's only gonna help him help him get Yeah.

413
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: For sure, all deep, man, I think it's gonna be

414
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: huge with you being out with all those guys getting

415
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: all that experience, from the verb to Priens to being

416
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: with Joe Harris, all those guys getting those key minutes Jared.

417
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: So when he come in, it's like, now when you

418
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: get back, those guys have gotten that much better and

419
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: gotten that much used to playing meaningful minute and being

420
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: a meaningful moment. So that's gonna be good for y'all

421
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: for sure.

422
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: A lot of players not built for New York basketball, Like,

423
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: I feel like your game and the way you play,

424
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: this is the perfect place for you to take it

425
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: by storm. New York in general, the basketball culture and

426
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I was just feeling to like being

427
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: to feel it in acdiculately. You know, when you walk

428
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: around the city, you just it's something.

429
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 3: You already no feel like how it is to be

430
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 3: in New York now and kind of it's different. I

431
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 3: mean when I walk out, I'm in a hotel right now,

432
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 3: but when I walk out the hotel, I mean there's

433
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: people on the streets at all times of the day,

434
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 3: and majority of these people watch basketball. So like everywhere

435
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: I go, it's I hope you get you know, get

436
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: well and can't wait to see you back and congratt.

437
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: So it's been it's definitely been dope running to the

438
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: fans here in New York. Of course, a lot of

439
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: Knicks fans come up to me and I wish that

440
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 3: I went to the next but it's still just you know,

441
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: all love and you know, I feel like everybody in

442
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 3: the city wants both teams to be at that level.

443
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. It's only gonna be good

444
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: for the whole city. So it's been cool, man, number

445
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 3: great vibes.

446
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: That's one thing that is definitely great about New York

447
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 2: sports fans. Even if you're not they're a particular players

448
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,120

Speaker 2: and appreciation. Like yo, that's KD some like you know

452
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, run up and won't take pictures in.

453
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: Even though I didn't choose the Knicks, they still gonna

454
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: You're gonna get a lot of that.

455
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always love from here is like respect here

456
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: is like you know, somebody see you across the street.

457
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 3: They're not gonna run across. They're just gonna get your head.

458
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: And I'll let you know that they perspect what you do,

459
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: you know, And and I think that's a cool part

460
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 3: of the city. And you know, obviously it's just my

461
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 3: first few weeks. Who knows what's gonna happen if we

462
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: hit a ski and we lose two or three in

463
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: a row. You never know how stuff goes in the

464
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 3: you know, the ups and downs of the season. But

465
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: just the passion that everybody has here for sports, not

466
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 3: just the Nets, but you know, obviously the Nests is

467
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 3: at the lowerd the Totem Pole in New York, but

468
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: everybody just had love for sports in general.

469
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: In LA.

470
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: You know, you got the Lakers around here, you got

471
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: the Knicks with Kawhi and Paul George going to the Clippers.

472
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: They trying to kind of change the narrative, steal some

473
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: of them.

474
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: LA fans.

475
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: You being in Brooklyn, you look forward to stealing some

476
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: of them Nicks fans bring the Moon on board over there.

477
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 3: Man, It's gonna be hard to do that. You know,

478
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: this team, Lakers, Knicks are just staples in our game,

479
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: you know, so the love for those teams have been

480
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: I've gone like forty fifty sixty years. The blood it's

481
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: cross generations. So you know, expecting to convert Knicks fans.

482
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: It just want to convert people that probably never watched

483
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: basketball before, you know what I'm saying, to come in

484
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: and see something new and enjoy your show. You know,

485
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 3: so new basketball fans. I'm sure those the ones that

486
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna try to turn it too, you know, Nets fans.

487
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: How happy was you for Russell and James getting the

488
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: opportunity to play together? I know, like what was your

489
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: reaction when you actually seen that Russell was going to

490
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: play with James?

491
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: It was it was definitely crazy, you know what I'm saying,

492
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: because like how the whole trade went about, first off,

493
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: PG starting it off, you know, going to the Clippers,

494
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 3: and then you know, like you said the when you

495
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 3: was with the Clips, like you've seen it from the beginning,

496
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: I've seen, okay, see from the beginning and then like

497
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: and I never would expect expected anybody to leave, you

498
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying now to see all of us,

499
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: you know, gone, and now Russe and James on the

500
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: same team, and like it's cool for them because they

501
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 3: reunited and they're gonna have some new energy and new

502
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 3: life around the team. And as of me sitting out

503
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: and as a fan, now I can look at it

504
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: from a fan perspective, like I'm really excited to see

505
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: how those two work because I don't know, you know,

506
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, to be real, like if like different players,

507
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: I probably can see how they can fit together, like

508
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: those two, I don't see exactly how how it's gonna

509
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 3: work yet, but I know it's gonna be like spectacular,

510
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Like I don't, I don't.

511
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: I can't understand it from a basketball standpoint right now,

512
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: but like I know they're gonna figure it out and

513
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: work it out because those two of the most talented

514
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: players in the league like we've ever seen in the league,

515
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

516
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: Russ, did you feel like it was time for a

517
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: new beginning for health, for sure, he needs to kind

518
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: of go somewhere, not really reinvent himself, but just go

519
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: somewhere and just kind of feel like a start over for.

520
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 3: The pressure. Okay, yeah, I mean it's my third team,

521
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: so I'm all for it, like restarts and like kind

522
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: of rea just a pivot in your career, not even

523
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: a pivot, but just like a new fresh look, you

524
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So I felt like for him,

525
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: like going into a different city, you know, after playing

526
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: somewhere for so long, and a new just a whole

527
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: new organization, new feel. I know it's gonna be different

528
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: for him. I know it's gonna be just a totally

529
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: different organization from what it was with the Thunder, Like

530
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: you know, just how they operate. It's just different, you

531
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Different gm, different philosophies on how

532
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 3: they play, you know what I'm saying. So this whole

533
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: NBA experience is like Harvard, you know, we're supposed to

534
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: learn everything and every small part about east organization we

535
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 3: come across, whether it's do a meeting or if we

536
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 3: get traded there. Like, so I feel like he's only

537
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 3: gonna learn from this experience.

538
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite players to watch. Even still,

539
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: I'm happy you got a chance to get out of

540
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: that scenario, because I don't know how he would have

541
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: did being in that rebuilding scenario while they're getting they

542
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: you know, getting kick kicked around every year. You know,

543
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: how competitive and how hard and how much he pours

544
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: in the game. I didn't want to see him have

545
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: to go through that type.

546
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 3: Of little He's too experience.

547
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: He deserves.

548
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 3: Any All Star player like that who's been an All

549
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: Star for eight nine years, like obviously they'd be great

550
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: for that young team, but like they deserve to, like

551
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: their timeline is different.

552
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 2: So I just felt like you.

553
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: Need to be around veteran players, and he made the

554
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 3: right choice without when to have a high.

555
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: Level of respect for the you know, for the Thunder

556
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: and everybody over there for doing it that way, for

557
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 2: respecting him and not you know, not making him kind of,

558
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: so to speak, have an ugly exit. They kind of

559
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: granted him a graceful exit, not him forcing his wall out.

560
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: He seems like to the fans, he'll always be beloved.

561
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: He never bailed on him or whatever. And even it

562
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 2: came to the point where where he should go now

563
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: because he deserves a chance to compete. So I was

564
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: glad he got to go out like that. Everybody doesn't

565
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: get that opportunity, you know, situation.

566
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 3: Especially when I left there and he had to basically

567
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: patch everything up for that year until they got PG.

568
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: So like he's strapped up.

569
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 3: Respect and I think I think everybody there he always

570
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: be immortalized there, Like you don't have a statue there,

571
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: he gonna have a streets name not you know what

572
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm saying, And forget all this other stuff. To look

573
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 3: out from the outside looking in, it's just like a

574
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 3: human being to see somebody come up from not even

575
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: recruited to that, Like that's a come up right there, really,

576
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So like he stamped you

577
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying in a legit NBA city, Like

578
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 3: that's done to me as one of the first ones.

579
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 3: Like not a lot of people got that opportunity for real.

580
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: You know, right now in this time, you know, guys

581
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: can kind of control the narratives, you know, they can

582
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: kind of switch up their career instead of letting them

583
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: teams kind of control or send you here. They're everywhere NFL.

584
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: You're starting to see a lot of guys yelling out

585
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: I want to trade, which is you know, it's not

586
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: really like that in the NFL. So for far in

587
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, do you think that that's that's good for

588
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: their game? Because I know I was seeing Steve Young

589
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: on the countdown and he was saying, this is not,

590
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: this is not. I was like, man, but if I

591
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: don't want to play here, like why as you make

592
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: your player? I want to play football, but.

593
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: The game is to play here. No more game is

594
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 3: played on the field, Like these dudes come to work

595
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: every day, Like football players admire him so much because

596
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: the level of focus they got to have every day,

597
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: every play, every rep, Like like people can't. People don't

598
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: have that much standing in your body yeah while crashing

599
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 3: your body, Like they don't have that much stamina even

600
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 3: to think like that mentally and to play like that physically.

601
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 3: So like, let these dudes they do so much for

602
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 3: this game for his owners, like at least let him

603
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: have a little something. If Jayalen Ramsey want to get

604
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: go to another team, Like what's the big deal about it?

605
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 3: Like I don't see it hurting the lead at all.

606
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: It's like people get traded and cut and we won't

607
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: hear nothing about it the next day, But the best

608
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: player at his position want to go to another team, Like,

609
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 3: I don't see the problem with this even you Like.

610
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 2: I didn't like that he said, like, oh, what is

611
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: just becoming being like what did you that was like

612
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: said in a negative way, Like people they've them NFL

613
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 2: players wish they had the you know, the security that

614
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: the NBA players had with the contracts and all of that.

615
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 3: There's too much focus on what goes on and at

616
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 3: the negotiating table and less focus. It should be more

617
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 3: focused on what these dudes do on the field. Obviously

618
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: that sells. That sales you know, and we get it.

619
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: But like you know, there's a lot of division within

620
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 3: like players, ownership, just everything. I feel like, you know,

621
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: down with jay Z partnering with the NFL, I thought

622
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: that's gonna do nothing but good for you know, any

623
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: division that we have within you know, the community, the

624
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: black community, especially in the NFL. So I mean, I

625
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: feel like.

626
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: People need to be patient. Yeah for sure, see what's

627
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: going on, because I feel like as soon as it happened,

628
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: it was a lot of rush to judgment before or

629
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: any type of action with it. I have nothing, don't

630
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: happen for a while and it's like what's going on.

631
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: Then you can start to have your murmurs or something.

632
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: But like, don't jump on something before it even do anything.

633
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean jay Z has done nothing but great

634
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: for anybody that's touched. You know, he's affected so many lives.

635
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: So you know, whatever you said he's gonna do, I

636
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: believe he's gonna do. You know, So I think, like

637
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: you said, everybody should just be patient and whatever they're

638
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: expecting out of it. I mean I wasn't never expecting

639
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: too much.

640
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: You know.

641
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure having jay Z as a partner is gonna

642
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 3: be cool, but like everybody should just be patient and

643
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: let's see how it work out.

644
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: I don't know somebody who who in the league like

645
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: you in the situation this year where you're gonna have

646
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: to reab and sit out and be watching and be

647
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 2: a spectator. So for you, who is somebody that the

648
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: average fan or maybe even us, we wouldn't expect that,

649
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: Like KD love watching this dude play, like whether work,

650
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: the way they hoop, whatever it may be some that

651
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: you just like about them that the world, Like everybody

652
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: loved Lebron everybody loved Dame. You know what I say,

653
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: it's the obvious people we know, but who's somebody under

654
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: the radar that we may not know about it? And

655
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: what you see and what you like about it.

656
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: I mean, Lou Weills probably the number one guy I

657
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 3: feel like. I feel like he's a Hall of Famer

658
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: underground king. Yeah, I feel like he's one of those

659
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: guys that, uh is a culture changer as far as

660
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: like set the lane for players, you know, being an

661
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: undersize six two sixty three, not a point guard, the

662
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: two guard, but just a player. You know, he put

663
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 3: a lane open, the lane for a lot of players. Obviously,

664
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: I still love watching Jamal Crawford and.

665
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: The two boys. They might have to. I don't know

666
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: who they gonna name the six man one of the

667
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: other split exactly.

668
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 3: I feel like Jamal still could win the sixth Man

669
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 3: of the Award today. It's unfortunate that he's not on

670
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: the team right now, but like.

671
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: He hikes the NBA.

672
00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody already right now, somebody last one. He had

673
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: fifty points at that age. Like he's phenomenal, you know

674
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like I like the real Hoopers like

675
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: that that don't really have a position, don't really like

676
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: you know, they're not gonna wow you on the stat sheet,

677
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: but they're gonna get a bucket. You're gonna know they're

678
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 3: out there.

679
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: You know.

680
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: I like a lot of bigs that just play strong

681
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 3: and hard too. I mean, I like watching I like

682
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 3: Andre drumming when he on the boards. You know what

683
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: I'm saying. He's dominant when.

684
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: Buddy, when you when I work for the Pistons, I

685
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: would tell him I can tell when you when you

686
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: and when you be as if it's like the first

687
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: six seven minutes, if you ain't got seven eight rebounds,

688
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: you'd be. I used to tell him that on the day,

689
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: Like I want to see you get twenty or thirty rebounds.

690
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: I want to see he he got a he got

691
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: a skill for that, Like he upsets.

692
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's all time great. Like I don't care what

693
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: else he does. He's beat an all time great rebound

694
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: when you get he has a knack.

695
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 3: I think he can get twenty a game if he

696
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 3: put his mind to it. That's tough to say, I

697
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 3: mean because they playing such a game over there in Detroit.

698
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: But like he's specially on the boards, I like watching

699
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: him and playing against him, Like you don't realize how

700
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: strong he is, Like he wants strongest, same game, you

701
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Like I like Andre. I think

702
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: when he gets a great point guard that like it's

703
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: just a great system, you know. I think with d

704
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 3: Rose this year, they're going to toss that live up

705
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: to him. Like d Rose know exactly how to play,

706
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, get some best around. I

707
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 3: really like Andre Drummer.

708
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: He funded on the most athletic big guys that there's

709
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: ever been. Like he never gets hurt and he's like

710
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: he's a workhorse.

711
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: I mean, so many guys, you know, Trevor Reza, you

712
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, just dudes that play that role. Really,

713
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: he's solid, solid, know exactly what they're going through out there,

714
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 3: Trevor going locking, He's gona knock down to three. Now

715
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: he's playing off the pick and roll. Even like he

716
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 3: got better at the year fifteen sixteen, that's like, yeah,

717
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, he playing a different game at

718
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: this age. I like, I like seeing players like that.

719
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: Who is a young guy in the league that you've

720
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: seen play over these last couple of years that he'd

721
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: be like, Oh, hes gonna be something as he steady

722
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: continued to get better.

723
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: The Aaron Fox, I think he gonna be a stud

724
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 3: like a star in the league, like a perennial All

725
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: Star once their team gets better. I like and his

726
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 3: speed is something you can't teach, like he's in the

727
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: mold that like d Rose, Russell Westbrook. Yeah, I think

728
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 3: he's gonna be a star. I really think Lonzo can

729
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: be pretty good too. He liked Loo. I like lonzol

730
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: a lot. I think I held him to such a

731
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 3: high standard when he got into the league. I had

732
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 3: to realize what he was as a player, Like he

733
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: just to do everything, Like you don't notice he out

734
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: there but until you make a fast, flashy pass. But

735
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 3: outside of that, he gonna just play solid, play defense,

736
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: make the right plays, never complain like, never argue to

737
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: the reft, never distracts you, like he. I like who

738
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: he is as a player. I feel like him.

739
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: He's He's one of them players that any given night,

740
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: that's he gonna give you. If you need to assist,

741
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: he gonna get you to assist. If you need the

742
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: points from him, You're gonna get you the points you

743
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: need them to play defense or I feel like he

744
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: all around like that he's not really not no one thing,

745
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: And I feel like that with that, you can you

746
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: can shy away from his value. But it's like he's

747
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: valuable because he can bring whatever the team need.

748
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 3: That I think his value. A lot of people put

749
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 3: stock in what his father said coming into the league,

750
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: the hype that his father put on a lot of

751
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 3: people held him up to the statement.

752
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 2: First of all, I feel like it was unfair. Prior

753
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: to his dad doing whatever he did, you had, like

754
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: the general fan of whoever began to feel one way

755
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 2: or the other about him, they never had a reason

756
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: to dislike Lonzo, And throughout he never gave you a

757
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: reason to dislike Lonzo. Only dislike that you could possibly

758
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 2: have for Lonzo was because of what was doing. Like

759
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: I don't see and you know you were his teammates, Stephans.

760
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: The type of person is like about the bust this

761
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: kid's ass. But when you hear somebody tell the world

762
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: this kid who ain't never played on stuff like that's

763
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: better than him about the buses ass stuff like that.

764
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 3: Well, even if he wasn't, he don't say he might

765
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: be like you know, but he's feeling that he's thinking that.

766
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: He was likeah, like I heard what your apostle saying.

767
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: He ain't say that, but me and this knowing, I'm like,

768
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying. That put a turn on his back.

769
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: And when I'm saying, can't the first game against pat Bev,

770
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: what I told you?

771
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 2: I said, Yo, if anybody that was the perfect, perfect,

772
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 2: worst first game ever, like this guy here is the

773
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: guy like, come on dog pat Bev, who don't what

774
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: don't care? Like it was I said, I told, I said,

775
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: And he was talking for you think he about to

776
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 2: show out the night.

777
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: I think I think Lorenzo are ready for that thump

778
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: though he ready to bro He for real ready and

779
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 3: he locking in on d like he picking you up

780
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 3: full court. He making the right place, like at first,

781
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: the way he shot the ball, he wasn't shooting it.

782
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: I was like, come on now, forget about any of that,

783
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: just thinking about what I'm about to say. Forget his

784
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: form fluke ya all that was there if you take

785
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 2: away well his dad had to put out there the

786
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: man average twelve what was his twelve? Seven and seven?

787
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: Nobody Yeah, ain't nobody doing that? It was the ball

788
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: was set too long, set too hot. That was unbelievable

789
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: for a rookie point guard. That's like one of the

790
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: hardest positions to come to the league and get put

791
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: right in the fire on the Lakers with all of

792
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 2: this stuff. That averaged like twelve seventh brus average second.

793
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 3: That's tough. That's tough. He didn't shoot the ball particularly well,

794
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 3: But I was just like I had to stop, really,

795
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: I just had to stop listening to everybody else. Let

796
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 3: me just here and analyze this dude game like, oh,

797
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: he's he's his problem. He subtled with it, like he'll

798
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 3: take you all your action from just like playing harder ship.

799
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Dude, don't do that no more.

800
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: You know, he'll pick you up and getting the passoline

801
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: and then he just turned the whole game.

802
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: I like him.

803
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: Last year in the playoffs, as basketball players, like we

804
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: understood where like you was coming from of like playing

805
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: within the game. Playing when you was playing against the

806
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: Clippers and you weren't taking as many shots as possible,

807
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: but you was playing within your game plan and make

808
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: sure you was hitting the open guy. You wasn't just

809
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: forcing a lot of shot over over to people.

810
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: One of my.

811
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: Favorite quotes from last year's that you said when you said,

812
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: like you don't know who I am, Kevin Durrect, explain

813
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: to me that game though, that you.

814
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 3: Had the game before that one when because we had

815
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 3: lost that game, No.

816
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,959
Speaker 1: The game, the game that's in l A three Game three.

817
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, because after that game too, like we have been

818
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: playing a certain way where everybody was touching the rock,

819
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like I wasn't getting twenty shots.

820
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 3: I was getting more like fourteen to seventeen shots tonight,

821
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 3: for like the last two, like month and a half

822
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: of the season. So I went into that push the

823
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 3: game that same way in the playoffs in game two,

824
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 3: like we were up thirty points. We should have won

825
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 3: that game, but they came back and beat us. And

826
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 3: the way I was playing, like I only took like

827
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 3: eight shots and I could have forced it a little

828
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 3: bit more, but I just wanted us to keep playing

829
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: the same way because we were up. Our defense is

830
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 3: the reason why we lost. So, like all that shit

831
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: came out, everybody wanted to talk to me about Patrick Beverley.

832
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: You know, I'm just like, are you seriously? I like

833
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: po it's just like it all it's just too small,

834
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 3: Like it's something that we can't control. You can't control

835
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 3: being seven inches shorter than me, so like, you know,

836
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 3: I can score on this, dude whatever. Like, but we

837
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 3: lost the game, and when you lose a playoff game,

838
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 3: then everybody just turned up a little bit more and

839
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 3: Coach was calling on plays for me. He kept me

840
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 3: out there longer. I was playing, you know, sixteen seventeen

841
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 3: straight minutes, and like when majority of the starters were

842
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 3: on the bench, I was the only start on the floor,

843
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 3: so I got the ball every play, and you know,

844
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 3: I just went from there, and like I was at

845
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: the peak of my powers. Like I felt like the

846
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 3: only thing I was looking at was the rim my.

847
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 2: Boy said, I was at the peak of my power,

848
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: but the goal got big.

849
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 3: I was just yeah, I wasn't thinking about nothing but

850
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: just dominating every time I got the ball, like just

851
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 3: not just scoring, but just like being being trying to

852
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 3: be as perfect as I can.

853
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 2: With almost everything. You know what I'm saying, making the

854
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 2: right to say yeah, yeah, that took me back, though.

855
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: That game took me back to when we had had

856
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: the last time we came out to the bay and

857
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 2: we chilled with When you was talking about how I'm

858
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 2: really trying to be fishing at this, I was like, bro,

859
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: remember what we were looking at? I said, brou He

860
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 2: just looked, I'm walking around the game right now, turning

861
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 2: to his spot like he's still trying to do the

862
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: same shit. He's just not going making moves before they.

863
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you can. You have to make a decision

864
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 3: on our teams, Like our guys are moving so much

865
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 3: on the backside, So if I got on on the post,

866
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 3: you couldn't be staring at me. You had to always

867
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: be in the clay and step body because they moved

868
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 3: so well off the ball. So I'm just waiting on

869
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 3: you to just split second. If you off their body

870
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 3: for a split second and you I thought to him,

871
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 3: they shooting. So I'm just waiting baiting guys. I just

872
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 3: really was having fun with the game because they couldn't

873
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 3: stop me, and I can make every pass in the book,

874
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So like our offense was clicking.

875
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: We know that you was following in the game playing

876
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: and you know most of the times when guys do

877
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: have big games, they kind of go a lot outside

878
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: of the plays or you know, but it would be

879
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,479
Speaker 1: frustrating me sometimes with like reporters. Yeah, it's like y'all

880
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: cover this game and y'all do this game so much

881
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: so when we kind of say, like, no, I just

882
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: played within the floor of the offense, they act like

883
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: they understanding in basketball.

884
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 3: What we're talking about. Were so talented and skilled. To

885
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 3: outside world, it don't feel like our game has any structure,

886
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 3: So they.

887
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: Don't believe we run plays.

888
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 3: They don't believe we come down and get into a

889
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 3: set like we run a set. We go over our

890
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 3: plays every day. We might improvise more so than any

891
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 3: other sport, but majority of that is based off of

892
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: something like we're coming down getting into a pick and roll.

893
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: We got a couple options out of it. But your

894
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 3: best players can improvise, and that's what we did. Steph improvised,

895
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 3: Clay myself, Draymond, and but we had a set template

896
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 3: of how we wanted to play and that's what we

897
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 3: all tried to abuye by, especially once we got cussed.

898
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 3: We really felt like, why we got a center now

899
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 3: that we could throw the ball to in the post,

900
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: So we had to added another dimension to the team

901
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 3: that we had to give up some stuff to other players.

902
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 3: Steph had to take less shots, I had to play

903
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 3: Draymond had to have less opportunities to get cousin involved.

904
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 3: So that's the part of offense I'm talking about.

905
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: He played against Kobe them and the year they won

906
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: the championship in the back to back they had feel

907
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: as a coach, and you know that they run one

908
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 1: play Yeah, what do you think about the triangle offense

909
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: and that one playoff and it shouldn't be got shots.

910
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 3: From he got so many options. It all just all

911
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 3: derived from like the post and the man post. So

912
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 3: they was throwing the ball into Andrew Bynum. Like the

913
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 3: little stuff that we was doing to take centers out

914
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 3: of their actions, we couldn't do. Like we couldn't front

915
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 3: Andrew by the corner man, so like you got to

916
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: stay behind him when they got a guy in the

917
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 3: corner and the guy in the wings, our big had

918
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 3: to play behind Andrew Bynham like you can't guard him.

919
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: He turned around and even though it was like you said,

920
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 2: there was one play, you know how we got it scouted,

921
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: It was like forty plays, all right, this is this

922
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: wrinkle out of it.

923
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 3: And it was called this so called that, and it

924
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 3: was you know the lamar Olden came into the game.

925
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: You gotta watch the line, wash the line. He's throwing

926
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 3: up to the elbowing up to the wing, and he

927
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 3: running hard and should off the other for the lob like.

928
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 3: They had so many trick plays and sets and Kobe

929
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 3: was just a master. He like he was just like

930
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: an orchestra of that ship. He coming off and he

931
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 3: dropping it down and I might pass this time. I'm

932
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 3: gonna pull up the next time. Phil Jackson made sure

933
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 3: the offense was a pressure release. You couldnot overhelp, I

934
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: mean over DENI. You couldn't like get into the past,

935
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 3: and you couldn't double team. You had to play straight

936
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 3: up and you had to play inside the three point line.

937
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 3: Mike was posting up and you couldn front him. You're

938
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 3: gonna have to take that, Kobe. You can't deny. You

939
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 3: can't do all that. You gotta play straight up. And

940
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 3: that's Phil Jackson understood. You get the best players that

941
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 3: play around the basket, and you got the triangle, you're

942
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 3: gonna win. That's a smartest system, man, smart fucking system.

943
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 3: Like you the nine one person another person cut. It

944
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 3: was like it was like Priston's back door and all

945
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: that shit. And then on the other end, they got

946
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: a strategy for defense too. They funneling you to the

947
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 3: bags when Kobe had power and miner but when he

948
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 3: was with the Bulls, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen was

949
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 3: roaming and they was going to steal everything. You couldn't

950
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 3: turn your back on them because Mike and Scotti was

951
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: swiping hard every time, and they out they had strategies

952
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 3: on both sides. And Steve Kerr had the same thing,

953
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 3: Like strategy on both sides, you know what I'm saying,

954
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,720
Speaker 3: And like you could tell he got that from Field

955
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 3: Popp And that's what great coaches had. They bring both

956
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 3: sides together and have strategies for that shit. Not no

957
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 3: roller balls out and play. We're gonna figure this out.

958
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 1: I want to call a couple of names out there,

959
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: because you're a big NBA historian, can you just kind

960
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: of tell us what you used to love about that

961
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: person game? Yeah, Scottie Pippen.

962
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: His versatility, you know what I'm saying, Somebody that can

963
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 3: get off the glass, push, make plays and transition. But

964
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 3: in that triangle, he was making plays from the mid post,

965
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 3: taking dudes off the dribble, throwing dimes like he did

966
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 3: everything for him and he kind of was the glue

967
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 3: for that team. And you know, and then physically to

968
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 3: be that strong with those long arms and good hands.

969
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 3: He was a nightmare on defense. T Mac his heasy

970
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 3: jump shot. I literally worked on that every day for

971
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 3: like still to this day, just because I see him

972
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 3: do it. Big Dog Glenn Robinson, he was just a

973
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: natural scorer, somebody that got like there's some players that

974
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 3: you you seen some players in the league that like,

975
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 3: you don't know how they get buckets, but they just score.

976
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 3: He was one of those dudes. He didn't have a

977
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 3: show for show, go to move or he wasn't giving

978
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 3: you all this extra stuff, but he was just flat

979
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 3: out getting buckets.

980
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 2: First person is dunked on me in the league. His

981
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,479
Speaker 2: faults push you push.

982
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: You know, when you push a person and you're playing defense,

983
00:45:58,560 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 3: I means he's not playing.

984
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,880

1013
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: doing your job. Give me some thought, Man, give me

1014
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: something something, Uh what you thought about the US A team?

1015
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 3: Man? Man, I just thought they were a young group.

1016
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 3: Like I wasn't expecting them to go over there and dominate.

1017
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: I was expecting them to win, but I wasn't expecting

1018
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: them to, you know, go just dominate these teams. They've

1019
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: been playing together for so that's smart experience. Know how

1020
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 3: to play in the overseas game because you can sit

1021
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 3: in the paint course from all three point line closer.

1022
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 3: You got to play a half court game. It's just

1023
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 3: a different game. And those players were young, so I

1024
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 3: feel like they went over there and learned a lot.

1025
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: And do you feel like us? Do you feel like

1026
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: the world is getting better?

1027
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 3: No, we had our best players. We would easily won

1028
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 3: that tournament, you know what I'm saying, Like we the

1029
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 3: if we'd have had what I said. They told all

1030
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 3: that stuff about it's gonna be a time way us saying,

1031
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 3: I don't see, not ridoculous with the telescope.

1032
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 2: I don't see now we got we send all a squad.

1033
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 2: It ain't even close.

1034
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 3: When you got dudes from the United States playing ball

1035
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 3: to put food on the table, These youngest hungry out

1036
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 3: here like it ain't happening. We got the most athletic

1037
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 3: and the most talented and skilled players, and we got

1038
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 3: one of the best coaches in all the sports and popults.

1039
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we should be straight. Who's your favorite NBA

1040
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: team of all time?

Speaker 3: I mean it's twenty seventeen Warrior team.

1043
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: That was your favorite?

1044
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 3: I mean that was one of the christiest basketball teams.

1045
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 3: I see. That was just flawless basketball in my opinion.

1046
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 3: Uh was it one Lakers two thousand they swept the

1047
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: two thousand and one and two thousand two. Yeah, that

1048
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 3: was one of my favorite teams too in the NL

1049
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: Steve Steve Nash first MVP team, that's when they start running.

1050
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that.

1051
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 3: Mom was nice. He liked the one that you got

1052
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 3: the first trade, first time, second year. Appreciate that.

1053
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm saying, the original team, the funning guns times.

1054
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 3: Can you name your favorite NBA moments making it to

1055
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 3: the finals twenty twelve? That game was after that game,

1056
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: that was one of the best moments. Obviously winning twenty seventeen,

1057
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 3: you know it was that took me on another level.

1058
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 3: I was on a different high after that getting drafted,

1059
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 3: you know that just changed my life in a matter

1060
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 3: of seconds. You know what I'm saying, my whole thought

1061
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 3: and my whole thought part of my life. Just NBA

1062
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: history modes outside of minds. Man. When I would say

1063
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 3: when Kobe won his the back to back year, we

1064
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 3: had played him that year, I think we played them

1065
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 3: in the first round and so to see them go

1066
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 3: through the playoffs, that was a memorable moment because it's

1067
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 3: my first playoffs and then losing to the champs that

1068
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 3: that's pretty cool as a young player. But to see Kobe, though,

1069
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 3: like you know what I'm saying, with that shock, you know,

1070
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,479
Speaker 3: people saying come win without shock and all that other stuff.

1071
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 3: You could tell that he felt. You could tell he

1072
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 3: felt liberated after that one, you know what I'm saying,

1073
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 3: Like he was don't prove himself. But then the best

1074
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 3: card dunk contest that that ship was when it was open.

1075
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: High school had a game and we after the game,

1076
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: we instantly went over went home with the house and

1077
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: I've seen that thunk contest. It was like one of

1078
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 1: the most amazing.

1079
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 3: It was a good crew. Though it wasn't just like

1080
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 3: I was was that one I don't know was it

1081
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 3: was somebody like uh might have been I think Larry

1082
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 3: he might have been in that might have been in

1083
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 3: that one. I don't know, but it was just over.

1084
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 3: It was just a good crew. Yeah, that one wasn't. Yeah,

1085
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 3: that's that changed how I looked at all of this

1086
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 3: ship too, because to see somebody throw between the legs

1087
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,399
Speaker 3: for the first time and put their arm in the room,

1088
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 3: that was that was different. One start bench cut Steph

00:51:53,440 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 3: Russ and Kyrie God. I gotta play this game, nah,

1090
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's why we're going. Danny'll put you

1091
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 3: on this spot like that. I can't cut either one

1092
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 3: of them. Dudes. Nah, you're will pass on that on.

1093
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 3: You don't want no smoke with nobody. I don't want

1094
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 3: no smoke.

1095
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: Got smoke from your draft. If you had to pick

1096
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: two other guys to play three on three with, who

1097
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: is the other two guys from your draft that you

1098
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: will pick to play three on three?

1099
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:44,760
Speaker 3: Whip mm hmm. Marcaretsol he was in that draft.

1100
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 2: You was second round.

1101
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 3: Huh second crazy? And Conny like Colin Colly is a

1102
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 3: fourth pick.

1103
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 2: That gridden run.

1104
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 1: I think that's a good good spot for him. In Utah.

1105
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: I thank him and Donald.

1106
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,439
Speaker 3: They were looking for that point guard for a while

1107
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 3: since the Wood left, they've been looking for that type

1108
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 3: of point guard.

1109
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, Utah crazy.

1110
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 3: That's a culture right there. That's that like that. Utah

1111
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 3: will always always play that like that, that tough, hardist ship.

1112
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 3: They're gonna move the ball, play pick and roll heavy.

1113
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,959
Speaker 3: They're gonna always keep too bigs on the court.

1114
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: I'd rather play for any team in the n b

1115
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: A except for Utah. I never want to in Utah. Yeah,

1116
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: like I never want to go to Utah. It was

1117
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: like every time we went to Utah, it was nobody

1118
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,919
Speaker 1: went to the mall. Nobody in the mall I'm talking about.

1119
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 3: And we had to playing twice up there. Yeah, we're

1120
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: trying to trying to take our time to go to you.

1121
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 3: And we was like we played in the playoffs. We

1122
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 3: rather play the Clippers, man, like they lose, we want

1123
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 3: to play them in the second round. Up fucked up.

1124
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: They cheated as well.

1125
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 2: You saw bad.

1126
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: You left a championship team in Golden State, and I

1127
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: know like when you left, Okay, see you took something

1128
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: with you. Now you left Golden State, what are you

1129
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: taking with you from that experience in Golden State that

1130
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna kind of implement to the future of moving forward.

1131
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 3: How Golden State ran an organization every day like it

1132
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 3: was a family organization. Eric Housen, who's the equipment manager, Like, no,

1133
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 3: I don't even want to call him that. He did

1134
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 3: everything for the Warriors, from the setting up flights to

1135
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,919
Speaker 3: dinner reservations to getting equipment. But those type of people

1136
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 3: there are the framework of the organization. That's what's gonna

1137
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 3: hold your group up. That's going to hold the team up.

1138
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 3: And like seeing that every day and okay, see seeing

1139
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 3: it in Golden State. This is two different perspectives and

1140
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 3: how they handle things Like I'm telling myself, I'm gonna

1141
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 3: take that to the nets. Yeah, and then'm like, oh,

1142
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 3: they shit, they already got their shit in order already,

1143
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like they already perfect, they

1144
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 3: got everything that both of these organizations had. Two So

1145
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 3: even though they're young and upper coming franchise, but more

1146
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 3: so than anything, just experienced a lot of these guys

1147
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 3: haven't been in the championship round and don't know the

1148
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 3: focus it takes to get through a series. You know

1149
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 3: what I'm saying because there's a lot of guys are young,

1150
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 3: haven't been in that position of Game five, you know,

1151
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 3: and when the series tied or being down. Oh too.

1152
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 3: I didn't experienced every situation in the playoffs, you know

1153
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So I can provide some type of

1154
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 3: experience to the younger guys who haven't been there, along

1155
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 3: with Kyrie who's been a champion too, So you know

1156
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 3: that's more so than anything. But once I got into

1157
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 3: the Brooklyn, I had this view on how I wanted

1158
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 3: to approach you, and it was like I had to

1159
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 3: just totally throw that at the door because they they

1160
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 3: got the championship mindset already.

1161
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: I feel that's out of all the teammates you can

1162
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: play with, if you can pick four to create a

1163
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: starting lineup with, who is the other four players that

1164
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: you will pick out of all your teammates you had

1165
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: and your current roster right now with Brooklyn, m.

1166
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 3: H, Kyrie, James Harden, myself, Draymond at the full uh

1167
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 3: I played, I didn't play with no like all star centers,

1168
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 3: but I'll say that's my guy from Toronto to the surgeon.

1169
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 3: I could put Yeah, Adam, did you play with Adam.

1170
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 3: I played with Steve to Steve, I would put Surge

1171
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 3: at the five. So uh, Kyrie, James Hard and you Draymond. Yeah,

1172
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: that's team because we could switch everything on d and

1173
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 3: we got all world scores and facilitators and block shots.

1174
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 3: We could block shots. Yeah, that's a perfect team.

1175
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 2: A good line outside of your shoe, your collection. Who

1176
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 2: you rocking with? Oh? The Nike guys, I mean that's

1177
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 2: all I'm talking about anyway, about nothing, you know, all

1178
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 2: under the same umbrolla Jordan Brand.

1181
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 3: His line on with dope causes fire. His next shoe

1182
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 3: you see his joint like the easy Yeah, it's about

1183
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 3: to be crazy. I mean, come on, bro, like PG

Speaker 3: got some fire. I want to see what this next

1185
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 3: show looks like. But his first shoe was hard into

1186
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 3: America joints. His whole theme.

1187
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:53,479
Speaker 2: Great guy man hit it at the part for the person.

1188
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at him.

1189
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: He got to know his shoes instantly. How big the

1190
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: Nike sign and all that stuff was the old Dennis

1191
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: Robbins nic it's not in the same spot or nothing,

1192
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: But soon as I seen it made me think about

1193
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: Dennis Robbins different.

1194
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,439
Speaker 3: I like how I like it. I like everything they're

1195
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 3: doing with like he's gonna be a megastar, and like

1196
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 3: you got next? Yeah, for sure.

1197
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: The Boardroom, it's hosted by one of my favorite college players.

1198
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 3: Ever.

1199
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm not a big Duke fan, but I love it.

1200
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 3: Was hard, he was tough.

1201
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 2: I got a year against he was.

1202
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: Speak don't like the Boardroom, man, I feel like that's

1203
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: good for the culture.

1204
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 3: It was. It's bigger than what people actually think. It

1205
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 3: is what you need to Yeah, I think what made

1206
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 3: me come up with it, well, not just me, like

1207
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 3: our whole team is like we are really interested in

1208
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 3: the business side of sports, you know, with these athletes

1209
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 3: are doing for themselves and their brands outside the game.

1210
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 3: So you know, on the Boardroom, we don't just talk

1211
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 3: about businesses, cultures, state of current events, like all that

1212
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 3: stuff in one but the brand behind the show is

1213
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 3: to give people insight on what goes on behind the

1214
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 3: scenes with contracts to endorsements to marketing everything with these

1215
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 3: athletes and obviously pushing stuff through socials and on ESPN.

1216
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 3: Plus hopefully it's informative content.

1217
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: You seek information and then one of the shows that

1218
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: it's presented out there for you to get the information.

1219
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: Like a lot of these casts like we don't know.

1220
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: We were just talking to previous guests, and it was like, man,

1221
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: we weren't structured when nobody was telling us how to

1222
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: control the money and what we're supposed to do with

1223
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: the money exactly. And so we send people in other

1224
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: cultures they not like us. So when we get some money,

1225
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: we take care of moms, sister, brothers, everything. But in

1226
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,439
Speaker 1: other cultures, now you take care of yourself. You don't

1227
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: got to own pay for your family members and stuff

1228
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: like that.

1229
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 3: It's different. I mean, we all grew up. We grew

1230
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 3: up different, you know. In our culture, you know, we

1231
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 3: were surviving for all those years, and then we get

1232
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 3: some money. We gotta take care of all the staff

1233

Speaker 1: Like what do you think about like that rule of

1288
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:42,439
Speaker 1: the tampering because it's like you're gonna find another player

1289
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: for talking to another player telling them to come play

1290
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:44,760
