00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: Might have fucked it up, though, but.

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,360

00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: give up? When did it?

35
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: I would say ninety eight? I transferred to the braids.

36
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: But Coach Ellis wasn't fucking with more so of the

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 4: facial hair. Okay, so we had to have a gold

38
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: tea and then how you think of gold tea?

39
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: Look?

40
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Then he like, all we have we couldn't even have

41
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: facial hair, you see it? Like though, no, we had

42
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: to shave marsh. We used to try to hide hair

43
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: underneath the bottom of our chair, like we couldn't have

44
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: nothing up here though, Yeah, fucked up now.

45
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: So Coach Elli's got real big on that. And then

46
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: he was like, no facial hair size, the mustache.

47
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: Look like a cop. That's a problem.

48
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: And if you got if you're gonna have brads, they

49
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: better be done.

50
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, stay on top of it. There's there's rules

51
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: and regulations about that. Sure, what does it mean when

52
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: you hear people like Tyson Chandler, Demart de Rows in

53
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: the game, to name a few like mention you in

54
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: your game and and and in the aura of the

00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: of the man you are.

56
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: I mean, for me now, it's uh, it's humbling because

57
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: I didn't know that they felt that way, you know,

58
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: all these years, you know, so to hear it now

59
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 4: it's an honor because certain people, you know, look at

60
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: them for their celebrity status. So for them to give

61
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: me a little shout out because I'm nobody to them now,

62
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: it means a lot.

63
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: So for those who aren't familiar with tell them where

64
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:43,799

73
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: That's the back West? For the eight trades, Okay.

74

Speaker 4: Nine Trade, Playboy Hustler nine to five, Playboy Style nine nine,

75
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: Mafia you got ten different games right there. I went

76
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: to Bradheart Junior High. But before that I had got

77
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 4: into a little you know, shooting some more other ship.

78
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: To Ford Junior High. Huh, you said at what age?

79
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: This is early on? Man, I'm gonna say, from ten

80
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: I start fucking up. But ten to fourteen, man, I

81
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: was in and out of juvenile hall, back and forth.

82
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: So from there, that's what.

83
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: What other sports did you play growing up?

84
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: I mean I played football too, though, but I got

85
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: too tall, man, So for me, getting hit was out

86
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: wasn't the option. It wasn't option back a run like

87
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: shit too, So I played, I mean I ran track.

88
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: Then Coach Palmer, let's say, let's doing volleyball and shiita.

89
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so when did you know that basketball could possibly

90
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: be a path for you?

91
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: I didn't take basketball seriously, like until after my junior year, okay,

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: because you know, coming in I didn't even know y'all.

93
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: You know, I wouldn't respect it. I didn't know, y'all.

94
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: But that's the reason why it gave me my chip.

95
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: Because I didn't know anything about stats. I didn't know

96
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: anything about rankings, I didn't know anything about really taking

97
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 4: the shit serious. I had just got a juvenile hall,

98
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 4: so to be coming home and seeing everybody that excelled

99
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: that I left them when I was like younger on.

100
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: So it was different.

101
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: After your junior you realized it could be something. Did

102
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: what was Did it shift your mindset? Did you did

103
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: you kind of stray away? Did you did you try

104
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: to stay locked in on? Who were you still in

105
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: the streets? What was going on now? So Coach Palmer

106
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: had told me to take it serious. He's like, man,

107
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: you know you can come back and be one of

108
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: the best singers in the country. He was like, he

109
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: was bullshiting. Are you gonna take it serious? And I mean,

110
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm really I didn't like you niggas not supposed to like.

111
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: I didn't like I didn't like none of you.

112
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: Niggas you're not supposed to.

113
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: I didn't get along with y'all. I didn't grow up

114
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: with y'all. Nigga, I just got out of jail. You

115
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: feel me. I'm young, I'm on some bullshit, but I'm

116
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: also trying to understand what it is to be a

117
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: high school basketball player because I'm known for being in

118
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 4: the scholarship. You know what I'm saying. I went that

119
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: path because I'm growing up seeing niggas around me. Bro,

120
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: that was a celebrities down to us. See, we had

Speaker 4: about baby Lane, you talk about Punchy or a little Woody.

123
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. A little enough from my hood,

124
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 4: Bodine and other motherfuckers from Camptain that really put on

250
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: guys at Auburn, man, it was different cause they were fighting,

251
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: but they were all Americans too, from their respected areas.

252
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: And I didn't know that. Like I said, Bro, after

253
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 4: my junior year, I didn't really take or excuse me,

254
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: I started to take basketball serious. But when I first

255
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: started playing, I was just playing. So now when I'm

256
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 4: starting to see things, I'm like, damn, Bro, you was

257
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: a dog where you from?

258
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:55,480

260
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 4: we like we might could do something because I respect

261
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: my point guard, Doc. I love you man, so Doc

262
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 4: Robinson man, So it was different.

263
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: What was life like off the court coming from LA

264
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: and going to Opera slow?

265
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: Was that a good thing for you at the time?

266
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

267
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: I needed that, Okay, it was slow pace for me.

268
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 4: That's one reason why I chose you. Like I said, tradition,

269
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 4: the guys that was there, just seeing how patient they were,

270
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: and it was a family oriented, you know, university to

271
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: where if you go there, it's just like how you

272
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 4: feel about UCLA. If you go there, Man, you're gonna

273
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 4: love tradition, but you also gonna love just the way

274
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: that they welcome you every time they see you.

275
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: They come to LA, to your to your home. And

276
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: what was that like for him?

277
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: We see, Oh shit, man, it was it was nice. Bro.

278
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: I loved it. Yeah yeah, Man, I had listen.

279
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 4: They thought they was gonna get a cab out of

280
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: Campton at ain't thirty, Bro, ain't no cabs coming over here.

281
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: So we had to give them a ride, you know

282
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. Oh man, And they were staying on

283
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: this side too, you know what I'm saying. So it

284
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 4: was different for him. But to see coach pull up,

285
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: Coach Laplant, Coach Harris, Uh. They did a lot of

286
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: time as far as recruiting me. But they had, like

287
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: I said, Rudy was at Campton College in their back pocket.

288
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 4: So he had coach with my coach down in South Alabama,

289
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 4: so that was his way in.

290
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you're going from school out here to the SEC.

646
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 4: two days later, after being shot, you're trying to go.

647

Speaker 2: To the smoke and you got shot in your back.

648
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 3: I got shot in my back, not my leg.

649
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: So that's what the story. So the legend had it shot.

650
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: So I got shot, meaning I was bent down. Bro,

651
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 4: when they came to dump, I'm like this, so the

653
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: Bro had a chopper, you know what I'm saying. So

654
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 4: it wasn't the leg, so it was around the back.

655
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,640

656
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,560

00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,360

697
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, and that that wasn't where

698
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 4: I was at with it. Like he went to Wyin Dixie, Man,

699
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 4: and got a fucking a Western Union Transaction. The lady

700
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: from the Western Union Transaction turned his ass in because

701
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 4: she recognized him from being on Sports Illustrated so and

702
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 4: she was Alabama fan. So it was I think it

703
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: was Wynn Dixie or Pigli Wiggily, one of the motherfuckers

704
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 4: at Auburn. But Uh turned to me in man and Uh.

705
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 4: The first thing he said was uh and shot the

706
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 4: CP brough. I love you, bro, even though we've been

707
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 4: through all this together. He was like, man, I you know,

708
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 4: I met the agent or a runner to d Ham. So

709
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 4: now they come asking me like, uh, how you know him?

710
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 4: I'm like shit, Uh, you know from being at you know,

711
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: La Trade Tech, different little you know, gyms around the city.

712
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: He's a gym rat. But he was also running players

713
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 4: to different agents. So you know, we had took the

714
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 4: ass for a couple dollars, so you know, the n

715
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 4: C DOUBLEA owners now, so they on me tough now.

716
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 4: But I never received nothing, you know, as far as

717
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: from that person. So when they investigated CP, they made

718
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: him ineligible, you know, because he admitted to taking it.

719
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: And then now they're on me. So I left there,

720
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 4: went to University of Louisiana at Lafayette. So back when

721
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 4: during my recruiting process, Jesse Evans was at Arizona when

722
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 4: he was recruiting me, he took the job down Lafayette.

723
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 4: I'm looking at too, I'm looking at Michigan, I'm looking

724
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 4: at Lafayette. When I'm leaving Auburn my sophomore year, Jesse

725
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 4: take the job. They had went twenty and eleven. So

726
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, decent, they askedhim returning players. I

727
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 4: went down caught a vibe with him. Let me go

728
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 4: ahead and check it out. I get down there, man.

729
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: That shit was probably the worst decision in my life.

730
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: Why because Bro was becoming the head coach. He didn't understand.

731
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 4: I guess after leaving Luke, you know, up there in Arizona,

732
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 4: it was different for him because after the first year,

733
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: you got some success, but you was still.

734
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: Getting your feet wet.

735
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 4: You got players still you know, developing, but coming into

736
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 4: their own and wonting shit. So they not feeling me

737
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 4: because I'm new. I'm coming from Auburn. So I get

738
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 4: down there. I got certain people still sending me money,

739
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 4: doing certain things for me, so they like, man, what's

Speaker 3: Double A like I said, was on me.

755
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 4: So this is me figuring out all the different things

756
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 4: about being in college or collegiate athlete. These motherfuckers, like

757
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 4: the FIDS, they're following me, you understand me. I can't

758
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 4: beat them. I run over there. I got to pass

759
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 4: the clearinghouse, so they're there. So now within that, they're like,

760
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 4: what's up with this money?

761
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 3: Man?

762
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I got that shit from the homie.

763
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 4: But the homie is a gang banger. The homie is

764
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 4: is somebody that I know. So they're like, all right,

765
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 4: well it's cool, we're gonna leave it alone. He had

Speaker 4: to submit his ID and some more things like that

767
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 4: to prove that that was my partner. But outside of that,

768
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 4: I'm at Lafayette. I don't like it. Shit ain't going

769
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 4: right out into my name in the draft. Then I

770
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:06,840

836
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 4: a couple of different Mexicans. Knew something from back home.

837
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:15,040

838
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 4: some weed or me trying to do something was always

839
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 4: the opportunity was always there. So I'm like, man, if

840
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 4: I could get this weed from Compton to Sail in

841
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 4: West Virginia, I can charge these dudes. You know, one

842
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 4: hundred and ten dollars one hundred and twenty five dollars

843
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 4: an ounce, or a quarter pound for me is one

844
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty five dollars at home, A pound for

845
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 4: me is three hundred dollars.

846
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 2: You got some great prices, boy.

847
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 4: So initially it was three hundred and twenty pounds in marijuana.

848
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 4: I ended up going down for twenty. That's what I

849
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 4: settled out of. That's the fast caught was a box,

850
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: my first box. I had mailed it.

851
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: Oh, just straight through the mail, straight.

852
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 4: Through the meal. I started playing with the mail for

853
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 4: about five years. I had a five year run going on.

854
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 4: So after, like I say, when I didn't follow back

855
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 4: up with the Puerto Rico thing, I started really selling

856
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 4: weed and shit took off. Couldn't make it no more shit,

857
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 4: watch youry to keep playing. I'm not getting them calls.

858
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 4: If I can't make NBA money, I'm making in the streets.

859
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 4: So I had a nice little run. Feds came, what

860
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 4: ade you get popped? I was twenty six.

861
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: You have to sit down for a minute.

862
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I sat down for a while, bro.

863
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 2: You know.

864
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 4: So my first one was thirty seven months for the weed.

865
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 4: But then I had a state case, so I got

866
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 4: eight years for the state. Four years killed it, so

867
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 4: I had to do four years. I once the violation

868
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 4: for the FEDS kicked in, then the state let me go.

869
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 4: So then now I got to do thirty seven months

870
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 4: for the Feds. So once that happened, once I get

871
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 4: that time out the way, it was time to come

872
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 4: back home and start over. So just think about it, bro,

873
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 4: Like basketball was out, yeah thirty three you know when

874
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,919

Speaker 4: social media's going on. But it really wasn't big for me.

Speaker 4: in front of me, and I lost it, choices, decisions.

931
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 4: So I try to prevent that now and try to

932
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 4: teach these kids and educate them. I had to go

933
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 4: to Atlanta to get my first run at it. I

934
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 4: got my partner here. Shout out to my boy tie.

935
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 4: We do something called Clippers and Cops, So we go

936
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 4: around in all local barbershops and try to get the

937
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 4: community to interact, you know, or learn how to interact

938
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 4: with the police. And then you got my aspect of

939
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 4: it being a kid from the streets to where I'm

940
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 4: gonna teach you. I could be your uncle to show you,

941
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 4: you know, different things so you won't make these mistakes.

942
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 4: So I spend most of my time now, bro, that's

943
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 4: what I do.

944
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: Now, what's something that David Hamilton at forty six would

945
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: tell eighteen year old super crypt be patient?

946
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't believe or I didn't understand what

947
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 4: it was to be an all American. I didn't understand

948
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 4: what it was to have ma'maa do enji or CP

949
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 4: in front of me, should just be patient, man. And

950
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: if I if I was to be patient, I would

951
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 4: have made it. You know, if I'd had somebody else

952
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 4: in my circle that made.

953
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 2: It, I think I would have made a guidance, some.

954
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 4: Type of guidance. Once I started to see different people

955
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 4: in my circle, from high school coaches to people around

956
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 4: me profit off of me, and I didn't understand that's

957
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 4: my junior year. So I'm like, what if they got

958
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 4: all that my junior year and I ain't know nothing

959
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 4: about it? Bro, So I took my recruitment in my

960
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,959
Speaker 4: own hands my senior year. So I wish I would

961
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 4: have been patient, bro, and just learned more, but also

962
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 4: just understood the business of it.

963
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: And I didn't.

964
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: What's going through your mind when you're seeing dudes you

965
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: grew up with and played against and been around, and

966
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: we're all doing our thing in the NBA, knowing that

967
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: you had the talent you played with us, Yeah, you

968
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 1: were in the same circles. What's going through your mind

969
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: when you're sitting down and just kind of thinking about

970
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: that at that age.

971
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 4: I mean, for me, Bro, it's unfortunate that I didn't right,

972
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 4: But maybe that wasn't my path because if I would

973
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 4: have received that bread, ain't no telling what would have

974
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 4: happened on the lundra, you know what I'm saying, Because

975
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't have no guidance for me. It

976
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 4: would have been it'd have been cool, but it would

977
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 4: have been it been a challenge. So to see all

978
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 4: y'all excel now, I mean it's what expected. You guys

979
