But that was as a as a fan 23 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: of basketball and even being away from I mean, I 24 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: live in Memphis, I've been there. 25 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: Forever. 26 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: That was my favorite team, and I played on teams there. 27 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: So talk about that team though, and just and just 28 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: kind of getting to where you all got and just 29 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: what this, what that meant to the city. 30 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 3: Man, Just you know, that team was special, Like you said, just, 31 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 3: I think just for us, we all treat each other 32 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 3: like brothers. Like we were, you know, like you come, 33 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 3: you make a team off the court, the time you 34 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 3: spend off the court, you're going out to each you 35 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: laugh and he he high high together and everybody, we 36 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: trust each other. We were like brothers. And I think 37 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: that team was special because we left it all our line. 38 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 3: And not only that, we believed in ourselves. I think, 39 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 3: like you said, that year we was we beat San 40 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 3: Antonio and knocked them off AC so we had a 41 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 3: lot of confidence. So and we believe, man, and and 42 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 3: we played for each other. So I think that's one 43 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: of the probably my favorite teams, you know, being in 44 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: you know, my time in Memphis was that that team, 45 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 3: just because I think the way we supported each other, 46 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: the way that we believe fall for each other, and 47 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: you know, we were brothers off the court, you know, 48 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: to come camaraderie. 49 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: So you know, that was a special. That was a 50 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: special time, the biggest thing off support off the court. 51 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: You know, but think you show up for practice and 52 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: it just worked. It don't work like that, you know 53 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: what I think? 54 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: You know what I think was that made that team 55 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: so special, in my opinion is like the way it 56 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: was constructed right, Mark was traded for Powe and he 57 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: was a fucking throw in. T A was like, hey man, 58 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: all right, got him on their cheat You got him 59 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: on the Chief of New York right, Like it was 60 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: like a bunch of it was like, okay, put this 61 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: team together and see what happens.

But that team was 64 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: like and it came together and. 65 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: It was it was just fit perfectly.
