32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a process. It's definitely something I

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: needed though.

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: It was one of those things where you know, that's

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: a mad decision between me and my pops, just looking

36
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: at what we wanted to do as far as basketball,

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: and we wanted to approach the game and where I

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: wanted to take my game.

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: We just felt like that was the better opportunity. You know,

40
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: I was one in Virginia Tech.

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: We also had guys that was also there prior to

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: the year of coming that was going to Virginia Tech.

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I think we had three guys that was on the

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: our great team that was going to the Tech next year,

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: so you know, and then the competition that they played,

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: we only played the top juco colleges and prep school,

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: so you know, you can't beat that.

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: I remember that school from out of my class went

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: to that school out in ninety eight and you went

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 4: straight out of high school from hard Grave, right right.

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: It's a lot of guys there, man, It's like a

Speaker 1: A list of guys, man, crazy, Like you have to

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: like actually go to the school and like see the

00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: be like, wow, I didn't know he was here.

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: You all coached by the same coach.

62
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: Nah, It's okay. So they had a couple of different coaches. See,

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: I was coached by this guy named A. W. Hamilton

64
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: before he was the coach. It was a coach that

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: I ended up playing for in college. That's the head

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: coach and she State now on Kevin Keats, So it's

67
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: been under a memorous different coach from now.

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: But they always had a great basketball. Can have been.

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Anybody else outside of Louisville that you could have went

70
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: to school?

71
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: Wise? Yeah, because my recruitment proces was crazy, man.

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: I actually signed my learned t playt Virginia Tech and

73
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: the senior year of me being in school playing, the

74
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: head coach of Tech got fired.

75
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: So I just had to sit down talk with the.

76
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: Guys that was going to be the head coach and

77
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and just kind of told him, like,

78
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: I know, I kind of signed my learned tend to

79
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: come here. I know, I decided to play for y'all,

80
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: but you know it was under coach and the coach Greenberg,

81
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't really know how you're gonna

82
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: use me your system or what you see doing.

83
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: As a player. But I don't know if I wanted.

84
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: To just you know, use my first year of you know,

85
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: testing the waters and you know we were in the ACC.

86
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: That's that's a power ourse school to you know man

87
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: as a freshman and you know, a whole revamp basically,

88
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: like I wasn't fair for that. So when I went

89
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: back up my letter recruitment after that was you know

90
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: nice enough to give it back to because you know,

91
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: some kids, you know, once you signed that letter, it's over, boy,

92
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, But you know, having that sit down and

93
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: talk to him as a man, I think it was

94
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: the best part.

95
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: And I think they respected that.

96
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: You know, they gave my letter intent back and from

97
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: me playing with my year in prep school. I had

98
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: great numbers, and you know, I played in front of

99
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: some big time colleges, and I open back up my

100
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 1: letter recruitment. I have probably like fifteen to twenty schools.

101
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: You told Louisville, But yeah, because I mean it was

102
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: a team that just made a fund for a run

103
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: a system.

104
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: I couldn't see myself playing in the way they played,

105
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: getting up and now I'm.

106
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Pressing and you know, just NonStop activity, and that's how

107
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: I kind of played the game. So I kind of

108
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, that's why I can go and

109
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: kind of see myself kind of earning some minutes to play,

110
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: especially with the teama they had.

111
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: How was it for you when you first got there?

112
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: How different was it from previously being in North Carolina

113
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: and being in Virginia at Hargrove. How was Louisville and

114
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: DN being at that level, like you said, with that

115
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: greater of a team, How was it for you to

116
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: fit in?

117
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't have to do much really, As

118
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: I said, I went to a team that was already

119
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: establishing guys who already knew how of coach we want

120
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: to assist and ran. So basically I just had to

121
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: go in and just play a game of basketball the

122
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: way I normally.

123
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: Playing, and that's as hard as I can.

124
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Man, they made it very easy for me, And I think,

125
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: why me being able to, you know, leaving home as

126
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: early as I did as a senior and spending you know,

127
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: basically my senior year on an all boys military school

128
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: where you know, you're on the strict military protocols with

129
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: the clean cut and getting up early in the morning

130
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: the uniform is basically prepared me for, you know, basically

131
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: just being out on your own, you know. So I

132
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: think all them, you know, steps along the way to

133
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: prepare me for that kind of helped you. Like every level,

134
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: you done been on every level, like because you like

135
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: a late bloomer, like you can play. But it's like

136
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: a coach gotta figure out what's the best thing for

137
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: you because every time you play, you always bring energy

138
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: and you always do what you Dude, you could have

139
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: been through on this if a coach would have believed

140
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: in you. But now coach are believing in you. Now

141
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: you're really doing your thing. And it's like I've been

142
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: doing this since college.

143
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: Where do you think you got that motor from? Cause

144
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: I think that's the first thing that jumps off the

145
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 4: page when anybody watches you play. It's like he said,

146
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: the energy, but the motor. You know, you hear coaches

147
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: and different people use that term about players, like he

148
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: got a high, high motor. Like when as soon as

149
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 4: you check in the game, it's like the whole game

150
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 4: turn up. It's like, y'all come in the game where

151
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: you lou, it's almost a whole nother lineup that could

152
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 4: be starting, but y'all come off the bench, and y'all y'all.

153
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: Oftentimes you and your energy can single handedly come in

154
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 4: like were you playing like that same way? It's just

155
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 4: reckless and hard. In high school and ever since you

156
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: can remember, well, what did you get that from?

157
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: Definitely ever since I started playing the game, you know,

158
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,680

186
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be the norm around this area. I just

187
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: didn't look back, man, when it came to playing a

188
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: sport and actually felling over to get a basketball, man,

189
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: I just took it in this first and just kept

190
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: working on it every possibility I had. Man, every time

191
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 1: somebody was playing, no matter where it was at Dirk

192
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: Courts as ball, no matter where the run was going,

193
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: we had an open gym you know I'm there, man,

194
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: because it's just being around the game.

195
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: Man, I just fell in love with it.

196
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: What made you leave? Like you played three years, you

197
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: decided to go pro? Like they say you was gonna

198
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: get drafted high?

199
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 5: Oh you thought you?

200
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: Honestly, I thought I was going to leave.

201
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: Back to my sophomore year, honestly, man, I had a pretty.

202
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: Okay freshman year.

203
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: We run one national championship, came back my sophomore year,

204
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: had a rest solid year, and was starting by at

205
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: the end of the season, putting up solid numbers to

206
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: a double double. And you know, I felt like with

207
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: the draft and the people that was going in, I

208
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: felt like I could have definitely positioned myself to you know,

209
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: be able to go into the draft and you know,

210
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: get picked up around somewhere that year, the late first

211
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: round my second year. But it's some things I felt

212
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: like I wanted to work on. I wanted to get

213
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: better at doing and I definitely wanted to add some

214
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: more craft to my low post game and just being

215
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: able to finish down there and also get stronger. But

216
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, my third year and my junior year of college,

217
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: I started three you know, so that was something that

218
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: I was working on adding to my game and something

219
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: that coach actually, you know, had faith in me. You know,

220
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: because some guys when they come back after summer, you know,

221
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: it's like time to get back to the regular routine

222
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: and stuff that she was always doing. But I came

223
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: back added it into my game and coach let me

224
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: first and you know, work at it, and I was

225
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: able to stand my game and we shooting the ball

226
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: from the three point line in college man. So, as

227
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: far as college go, man, I did everything that you

228
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: could do as far as a college athlete.

229
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 3: Man I wanted that's a championship.

230
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: I won almost every conference I played in itself for

231
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: the last one, which was the ACC.

232
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: You know, I want Big East, I want the American

233
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: Athletic Conference.

234
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 5: Man.

235
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: I individual awards. I was blessed to be able to

236
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: win the Carl Malone Award.

237
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: Man.

238
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: So I had done everything as far as the college man.

239
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: That last year was just more so about a growing

240
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: process as far as myself. And then once I hit

241
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: that point and the season was over, I just felt

242
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: like it was I had none left there to do.

243
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: Really, how many.

244
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: Things you worked out for when you came out in

245
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: the drift like you worked out for a bunch of team. Yeah, yeah,

246
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: I think I had. I think I had eight to

247
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: nine workouts. Yeah, I mean eight to nine. Uh huh, Yeah,

248
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: I had a lot. I was everywhere Boston. I worked

249
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: out for Phoenix, Utah. I worked out for Dallas. Did

250
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: you work out for Houston?

251
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: No?

252
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 5: How was that whole process for you?

253
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 4: Because I'm like you two, when I came out, it

254
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: was a wide range as far as where I could

255
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 4: go and where people. It was like I could go

256
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: this higher, I could go this low, so it'd be widespread.

257
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 5: You might work out.

258
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 4: From teams from from eight or nine all the way

259
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: to twenty nine thirty or something like that.

260
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 5: How did you come out of that experience?

261
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: I just embraced all of it, really, you know, just

262
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: enjoyed each you know, opportunity I had to go. But

263
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: when it came down to the basketball aspect, I was

264
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: killing everybody out. I don't care care what it was man,

265
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Like what drill he was doing? Bro, Like I'm killing everybody.

266
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, like, I don't care who is matched

267
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: up for me. Like I was just stronging them. I

268
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: don't care what game we played two on two, one

269
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: on one whatever it was. But I just said, when

270
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: it came to time to get on the corporate that's

271
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: going aspect, nobody has no chances over for you. You feel

272
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: me like the shooting aspect, the drids, they could you do?

273
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: That is what it is, man, because I already had

274
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: it in my mindset. Bro, Like whatever team you go

275
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: to coming into this league, you're not going to be

276

Speaker 1: like what's your form and if you shoot it? You

279
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: feel me like if something's going gonna have to work

280
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: on When it came time to play, that's where you

281
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: feel me like you're going to see who I am man,

282
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: because the drias and stuff like that. Yeah, it's just

Speaker 3: bad team, you feel me.

289
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,000

Speaker 4: We were playing three on three, b were playing three

318
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: on three and I'm talking about this was one of

319
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: the I even talked to John Gabriel, who was the

320
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 4: general manager then when I came back and played for

321
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 4: the Magic and work for the Magic, we talked about

322
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 4: that one day and he was like, that was one

323
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: of the all time sickest workouts. Like, bro, you're talking

324
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: about getting at it because that was like one of

325
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 4: the few workouts of our draft. Our agents didn't hide

326
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 4: everybody because like it was a lot of that going on, like, oh,

327
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: now you can't work out against this, but like we

328
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 4: all for whatever reason ended up in that joint and

329
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: it was cracking. I'm talking about it was bump boy

330
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 4: going down. That was like one of the sickest workouts

331
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: I could remember. That was real like like that nobody

332
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: got close to blows or nothing, but just on the

333
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: competition level, it was sick.

334
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

335
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: So you get drafted to Houston and to me, you

336
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: don't really play too much different. Yeah, you a better

337
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: playing i Q wise, but you don't play too much

338
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: different than to me what you always and always been

339
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: brought to the table.

340
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

341
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: In Houston, did you feel like you sposed to have been

342
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: playing early, like they posed to have been playing you

343
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: instead of going through the road that you had to

344
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: go through?

345
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: Times? I did. Times I definitely did, because it was

346
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: just being weird shitting over there in our holdos man

347
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: and just hearing coach saying like, you know, we're not playing.

348
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: With enough agy, we're not playing I'm just like, I mean,

00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: we should have bea or we came in taking lightly

354
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,000

359
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,880

360
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, lack of I'm just like, all right, I guess,

Speaker 4: gonna go get minutes or not, just because they got

379
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 4: they look at it bad. And to see you at

380
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: that age, you know, at that point asking for knowing that, like,

381
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,560

385
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,440

386
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 4: dudes don't do that, everybody look at it a kind

387
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: of different way. And you know some people even when

388
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 4: they get assigned or told to go down there, they

389
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 4: don't want to go even though it's gonna be you know,

390
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 4: it could be good for him. So to see you

391
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: had that type of outlook on it, that's dope mindset.

392
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: I had good bets arounding man, and one of the

393
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: best bets I could say that I definitely had around Reason.

394
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure.

395
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: And one of my best friends coming into the game

396
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: man was kJ McDaniels music guy that was young aud

397
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: that at that time, and he had got bought over

398
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: from Philly and he was in Houston.

399
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 5: Uh.

400
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: You know, it was very tough to him as well

401
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: because he couldn't really get on the floor because all

402
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: the cards we had that you know, James, Eric Gordon,

403
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Reason was there.

404
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: We had Marcus s thoorton there.

405
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 5: Man.

406
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of older guys Man that was

407
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: just you know, basically had that seniority over him that

408
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: it was toughing him to go for as well.

409
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: Man.

410
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: But you know, we always kind of positioned ourselves and

411
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: coming up in our mindset man, where we had to

412
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: steal and we said you stay ready. You never got

413
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: to get ready. So that's what we kind of lived

414
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: every day by man. We would go in and him

415
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: get extra shots up, work out into each other, play

416
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: one on one.

417
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 5: And you know, when I.

418
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: Was asking to go down to the GD you know,

419
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: I basically tell him like, hey, bro, I'm about to

420
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: ask me, but like you know what you're trying to

421
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: do trying to go down there. Like he was like, yeah,

422
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: i'mtna see what we can do. Our team went down

423
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: there together.

424
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: Man.

425
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: It was fun because we went down there with guys

426
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: that basically already been around doing training camp, but now

427
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: they're down there and it's like their team. But they

428
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: welcomed us with overball.

429
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: Man.

430
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: We just when we came down there, it was a

431
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: lot more fun. Braces man. We just got out there

432
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: to play ball.

433
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

434
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: I think your last year in Houston, I think they

435
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: went to the playoff. I think I played Golden State.

436
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: I forgot.

437
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: I can't think of who they played in front of you,

438
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: like after Compella, you know, getting fire trouble or so

439
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: for long. They played you one time for a couple

440
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: of minutes and you had some engine and then they

441
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: ain't play you no more.

442
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: And it was a veteran player that they was playing

443
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 3: the next name name, And.

444
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: I was so pissed that they didn't put you in

445
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: for energy because like nothing against the they just ain't

446
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: the same name name right that he was, and I

447
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: felt like he was a better fit for that series

448
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: to even play against them, to play defense and run

449
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: the floor and so forth.

450
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: Fong, So I was kind of pissed that they didn't

451
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 3: even play you.

452
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: Then you get traded to the Clippers, right, and it's

453
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: like Chris Paul gone and they get rid of Blake Griffin, right,

454
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: and it's like this new opportunity, Like how was that

455
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: and how you was thinking about that?

456
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: In general?

457
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: I can't I had that same mindset coming into it, man,

458
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: from the beginning start the trade, maybe before Blake had left. Man,

459
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: I just knew it was an opportunity that I have

460
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: to be able to position myself to play because we

461
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: only had, you know, when I first went up there

462
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: to premiere big and they started, you know, and after that,

463
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking like, Man's it's like, you know, know this

464
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: for nobody else on our team, But I'm like, man,

465
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: I can play here. Bro, Like there's nobody else to

466
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: back up these guys.

467
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: Man.

468
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: So I just came in with the mindset of I'm

469
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: gonna work, I'm gonna compete. I'm show coach all the

470
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: little things that he he's done that I do, taking charges,

471
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: blocking shot, muscle players, roost ball and stuff like that,

472
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: diving into the crop. That's that's all the things I

473
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,679

Speaker 3: Man, It always comes back to you. You know.

478
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: I just wanted to go in and basically just position

479
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: myself to show them that, you know, I'm looking at

Speaker 1: help this team be better.

482
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: So that's the whole mindset I went into it with.

483
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: And the way that I play again basketball, and the

484
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,240

Speaker 1: the ball, just being around my family and my kids.

490
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,320

509
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: now you're carving out your own little space, your own

510
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: identity out there. And like you see how when you

511
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: check in the game, it's like an announcement at the

512

Speaker 4: You know, once you finally got to that point, not

517
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: to say you accomplished everything you want, but like once

518
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 4: you started to get a little bit of that respect,

519
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: how did that feel for you?

520
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:12,120

Speaker 1: out and you know, turned into a line off the court.

527
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: But it's just about going out here on the floor.

528
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: And you know, once I walk out to do my

529
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: pregame ritual warming up and stuff like that, and then

530
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: come back out the court just signing fans and listening

531
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,200

00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: around this game for a while. I've been around you know.

640
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: Man.

00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: So he's always you know, working man, Rico. When I

642
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: work out with him. Man, we were going at six

643
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: in the morning, man, and we'll go for a literally

644
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: like an hour and fifteen.

645
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: Man, But we're getting after it.

646
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: And everything that we're creating in that hour fifteen man,

647
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: all in game stuff, all in game sets where I

648
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: catch the ball, that what we're doing in our actions,

649
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: pick and rolls, hand off, step ups, like all that

650
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: stuff and stuff we're doing in the in game situation.

651
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: But I'm doing it, you know, versus him. I'm not

652
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: just doing it versus like a chair or or I'm

653
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: doing we go. I'm doing it versus you know guys

654
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: he have rebound like yeah, man, Because it's about the imagination.

655
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: It's about their creativity in this game, man, because at

656
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the basketball scores, and you

657
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: know that's what it's about.

658
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 3: Man.

659
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: But you know, when you can add all these different

660
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: days of your game, it's not anything that you know

661
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: nobody else hasn't done. It is now that you just

662
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: add your own spin to it.

663
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 3: Man.

664
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: And where I work at and where we go have

665
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: me doing these drugs that all in close orders of

666
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna catch the ball right in that little

667
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: me a post area, catching it in the pocket, off

668
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: pick and roll man, all things, and I'm customer doing man,

669
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: but at the same time on working on things that

670
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: are going to make me a better basketball player.

671
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 3: That's why you see me. You know, it's highlights.

672
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: I'm shooting through, I'm ball handling, and I'm getting the

673
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: pick and roll where I'm handling the ball and the

674
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: players because it's about being a complete basketball player, not

675
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: just being good at something that you do.

676
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: Four team. It's about you being the best basketball player

677
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 3: that you could be.

678
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: And that's what I love the most about Recal not

679
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: just positioned you to be a worker for a team

680
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: or organization, other position you to be the best basketball

681
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: player that Montres have to me, And that's why I

682
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: love the most about it.

683
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 3: Straight up, with the Clippers, y'all was a team that

684
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 3: they ridden.

685
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: Y'all love because y'all so called traded y'all best players

686
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: in Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and yeah, y'all made

687
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: some noise. Then the blockbuster signs and for why and

688
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: trade for PG.

689
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: After y'all have had a season.

690
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: Like y'all have had when people like ridden y'all law

691
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: not only y'all was already in Molde to come back

692
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: and do your thing. But now y'all got some help,

693
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

694
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 4: And they traded Tobias that year, who was the big person.

695
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 4: They still went on like they thought they was dead

696
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 4: in the water, and they still I remember Doc coming

697
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 4: in with the champagne saying, here you go for the haters.

698
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 5: And what was that like?

699
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Man? Honest slyly, it was fun man, because we was

700
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: out there with all guys that I just love to

701
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: come in and compete and work man, just play the game.

702
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 5: Man.

703
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: We didn't have nobody that was known as basically like

704
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: that guy. I guess you could say, because you know

705
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: all the names that you listen man, that known as

706
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: you know those guys CP, that guy Blake, you know,

707
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: being that guy DJ.

708
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: Everybody knows them.

709
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: Tobias is known as a well, uh you know, naming

710
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: the basketball world, especially in the NBA and where we are.

711
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: We lost a lot of our bench peachers, man Boban

712
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: he left in that trade.

713
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: You know, we just had.

714
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: Guys said it was ready to come work man, and

715
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: that's what we went out and did, man, And it

716
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: was just so crazy and so funny because nobody could

717
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: really name one person who was that guy on our team,

718
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, but we knew who we were, you know,

719
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: we knew what guys did. What we knew Lo was

720
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: on squarter basketball no matter what, you know, when he

721
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: came in the game, when his name was called Lose

722
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: on squarter basketball. We knew what Pat was gonna bring

723
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: every night. We had Shade, a young guy who was

724
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: still in the game. But also you know, Shave's the

725
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: very gifted guard man, like, he's very gifted to be

726
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: as youngest he is, so we had him. Then we

727
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: had got Shaman in the trade over, a young guy, right,

728
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: He's another young guy, plays extremely hard and shoots the

729
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: lights side of the ball, so we have him. Then

730
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: you get your Michael, who's another guy basically just like me,

731
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: except he's shooting the three at opposition and he plays

732
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: a fourth five. So another guy who's tough, brings it, compete,

733
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: gets after it. And you know, basically, like I said,

734
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: we just had guys that came and bought into the

735
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: system of what.

736
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: Dot wanted from us. Man, you know, come compete every night.

737
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna go out here and play the way that

738
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: we play, and then we go out here and we

739
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: get deep doing that.

740
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: Hey, just tip your hats to him, and you know

741
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: we would do about it.

742
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: But nine times out of ten we're probably gonna be

743
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: the ones that wins the game because of how hard

744
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: we compete in the way that we play, what we

745
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: can do. But NASA team guys don't really know. Our

746
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: guy that we looked at on that team was Gallop, right,

747
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: Gallo was I got on that team like NASA team

748
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: when it came down here the big time shot. But

749
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: we was post ice on Galla, you know. But at

750
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: the same time, we got other guys on the four

751
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: who are threats that you can't come off of. Louis

752
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: on the four, you can't come off him. Shaman's on

753
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: the floor, you can't come off him. He shoots the ball.

754
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: You put Pat in the corner. Pat shoots the ball

755
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: at the any guard like forty five fifty percent from

756
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: you know that ned to a corner three. So it's tough.

757
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you're trying to make that rotation

758
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: off him. Now we just swing swinging that we're playing around.

759
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: But man, then that Golden State Series. Man, like the names,

760
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: everybody got hyped up with the names. Man they got,

761
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: Oh they're going to get Steph Curry, kag Clay. They

762
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: had no chance with them, man, And hey, talent wise

763
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: on paper, Hey maybe they say we didn't, but I

764
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: mean you came in thinking that basically we didn't get

765
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: paid to do the same thing that you get paid

766
00:30:59,440 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: to do.

767
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: That's at again of basketball.

768
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: And they took us lightly, and you know it went

769
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: out as, yeah, we're just gonna be kicked off.

770
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: Man.

771
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: We just started preparing for Houston were playing next round,

772
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: and we're surprised them and took them all the way

773
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: to a five to six game series, which they wasn't

774
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: prepared to do.

775
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 3: They were looking at walk over us and be done

776
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,280

1053
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: it still gave me the vibe of what we had

Speaker 1: was glad that they chose y'all three. And I just

1060
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 1: thought it was like, man, one of the dopest cover.

1061
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: It did look like an old and new and I

1062
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:24,680

00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: I have kids when they're younger, but always big in

1213
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: the animation. Man, It's just something I always accustomed to

1214
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: watching growing up as a kid. It's stuck with me

1215
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: and going around meeting these different artists and people who

1216
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: paint and you know, work on shooting and stuff like that.

1217
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: It first started out as paintings. I got so many

1218
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: different paintings. I'm about to move into my house that

1219
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 1: you know, I just got my house, so I'm about

1220
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: to hang them up, and it's like I have people

1221
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: reconstruct animation.

1222
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 3: But it's from the scene of a movie.

1223
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: So the paint and for scene with Mitch and all

1224
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: the boys taking the picture in the club. Yeah, I

1225
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: had that picture recreated into a cartoons. So now it's

1226
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: like a cartoon from the family recess and another animation

1227
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: that they got that same pose.

1228
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 3: Like I messed with art like that.

1229
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:20,439
Speaker 5: Man.

1230
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: So when I could get somebody who could get on

1231
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: my shoes and go and create a character from my

1232
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: childhood that I watch so much growing up and putting

1233
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: on my shoes, and now I can incorporate not only

1234
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: the creation that they made on my shoes, and I

1235
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: can also you know, instill it in what I'm doing.

1236
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not paying any attention, you know, but

1237
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,399

1238
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 3: People were watching the game trying to figure out what

1239
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 3: I got on.

1240
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 1: And it's showing love to the people who also crafty

1241
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: and created this shoe, you know. So it's about building
