  Speaker 4: I would say, my family started fading away and putting
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: on the next gear away when I went to New Orleans.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: And then now it was all about New Orleans, which
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: they you know, because I was there.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But then once they had that call, they pulled that.
• 1:54

• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Everybody that hats and stuff like that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, yeah, I thought the quote you posted in
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: your yearbook from twenty thirty, it's my goal for my
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: future is to be a basketball player. I know everybody
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: says that because they love the sport, but I mean it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: I work out every day by going straight home to
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: do all my homework and then to the gym to
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: practice my game. Chris Paul has inspired me to become
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: a basketball player. You definitely had the dream of being a.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I mean that was my goal and whole life to
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: be But I'm also really myself, you know, all this
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: and make it to the NBA, especially in my size.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I knew that was like the X factor a lot
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: of stuff, but you know, I obviously put that behind
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: me once I started getting my feet wet and putting
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: myself in the rooms where people are making it to
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: the NBA, and I'm like, I could do this, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: this is something I could do.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And then I was my junior year of college.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I finally at the end of the like going towards
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: my senior year, I was like, yo, I don't know what.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm gonna make it to the NBA.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: But I know I could make money off this basketball thing,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: so how can we do that? And then a little
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: about little I was like, yo, no, I'm believing I'm
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: making to the NBA.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: You know on TV you look way balling six foot
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: like on TV, I guess because everybody's so tall. So
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: when you were undrafted, did you know that I'm gonna
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: have to put in this extra work or do you
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: think I was gonna have to go overseas? What was
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the mindset thing? Because your whole life was basketball?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And did you think you were gonna get drafted?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: No?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I ain't really had no second option
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: to like, no plan B, I swear. But my senior year,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: my junior year, I had my daughter, So one of
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: my senior I'm like, yo, I need to figure something out,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: you know, like money wise, at least financial wise, Like
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I was living with her parents and I was twenty
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: two years old asking my dad for money and he's
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: still you know.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So it was a lot going on.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: So when I was getting my feet well with this,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: I was like, yo, I'm going up drafted. I was
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: going overseas. I'm like, yo, whoever is my agent, Let's
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: try to get this money overseas and you know, built
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: it up. And I was fine with that. I wasn't dripping.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: And then I got my a CEC player. We won
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: my senior year. We won, and then.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I got a call like, yo, we're gonna do pre draft.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I'm like I bet. And as a pretty draft kept happening,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I was like, nah, I.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Could be here.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: A little by little, it just kept on saying, nah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I'm I could be here. I never knew I was
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: gonna get drafted, but I was like, I had eighteen workouts,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: eighteen like around like my fifteen. I'm like, yo, maybe
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I could go late second round, and like my confident
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: kept getting boosting up, boosting up, boosting up every time
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I got the opportunity to see other stuff.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Did you have a.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Chip on your shoulder when you didn't get drafted? Yeah?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I had a chip on my should
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I still got a trip on my shoulders because people
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: don't understand, Like, bro, I'm like, I'm normal high.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I guess you could see, right, I don't know, I'm small.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I'm small in the NBA.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Five six is not normally five sick.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Five six seven is normal.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Abnormality continue, Yeah, yeah.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: So, I mean in the NBA, I'm small. We can
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: say that, right, So I just knew every time I
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: had to prove it. If you look down the line
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: of like my story, I never really had consistent minutes.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I never really had consistent as a role. You know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I always made it my way. You know, coaches always
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: tell me, you know you're not gonna play today, or
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: you know this is not gonna go your way, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: then the game needs some energy. So they might have
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: told me that before the game. But then my the
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: game needed somebody to change it up, and it was
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: always me. So I always made my way. So it
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: was always like, yo, every time I gotta come here,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I got to prove to myself. And that's you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: that's so and that's what my life is about. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: that's fine with me though.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So even after being an NBA champion, you still got
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that chip on your shoulder.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got First of all, I gotta go get paid. Man.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: We got a contract, is contract, so so hopefully get
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the big contract what you should.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully that's God willing.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: That's and then you know, I'm still I don't want
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: to be in this for a long time.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I love his life. You know, I love the NBA life.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: You know it feeds my family, and you know it
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: puts me in rooms where I can never be.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I'm here with y'all. You know what I'm saying. So
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I gotta work.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I wanted to know.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Was there any point in your career where
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you did that believe stop? Yeah? Yeah, I could be honest.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Now that I'm a championship, a champion, I could be
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: on It was time like my second year in the NBA.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I think I wrote.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Like a I told my girl and my fam my
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: mom and everybody, like I think I wrote like a
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: message on my notepath like I'm done with this. I
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: can't do it no more like this the mental part,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: like all the frustration part, and then you know, everybody
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: sees the glory and happy days, but like like I had,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: they like I'm crying to myself, like yo, I messed up.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: And so it was like my second in the NBA,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I was, like I wrote, I literally had in my
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: notepad like I want to say thank you to everybody,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and I'm sorry that I'm doing this, but it's time
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: for me to hang this and I want to do
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: like I just want to have.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: A normal like a suicide.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, I wasn't depressed in the sense I like,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I would never take my life for that, like because
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: I just you know, that's just not who I am.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: But it was definitely times like I was like, damn
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: this this this life is really hard, you know what
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like, but I would never go to that
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: route because I got kids, you know, no matter what
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: it is. And I also or no, it's more life
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: than you know, just doing that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's love out there for me.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: So I ain't gonna that route. But it was definitely
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: times that I was like, Yo, I'm out, bro, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: can't do this or shit no more.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: It's interesting in New York they alway talk about New
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: York and the media in New York and the pressure
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: that comes with that. How they growing up in New
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: York City prepare you for the pressure and the expectation
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: that comes from being a fucking I.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Think it's just the way we talk.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I think everybody like the hostility, the the way we
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: approach it. We don't hide nothing, so like if somebody
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: think you suck or you think they don't they tell you.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: You know, that's what New York they you know, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: guess New York like a lot of people told me, yo,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: you you whack, like you know, I grew up with that,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: and I always you know what, I check up and
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: that's how I was built. Like, Yo, give me the
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: ball and I'll show you I'm not whack or whatever.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: You want to play one on one, and I think
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: I heard in my whole life. So it's just more like, oh,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I just feel like that's your opinion, and I know
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: that's not true, you know, if that makes sense.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you said that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: That's how I felt when I saw the fans, you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: after y'all want right, Like, I'm like, yo, we don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: know what that taxi driver did, you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Know what I mean, you don't know what how New
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yorkers are coming to America when they were like fuck
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you so much. He thought it was a greeting, you like.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: But these people not from Africa.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: But that's my point, my point of death New York
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: after a while, just like that's just how people are here.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you go other places, they'd be like, oh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: he from New York, you know, like you can tell
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: cut off the hot.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Like the way we talked. Definitely, our energy is definitely
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: different from other people.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I guess you could say that, like, you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: you're from New York, but coming to New York was
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: a lot pressure, you know, Like I don't know if
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: when I got traded, everyone showed me so much love
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: that I didn't even see the hate, like if to
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: be honest, like I know it was other people say Yo,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: what they gonna do?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Or what he why is he on his team? Or whatever?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: But I always get so much love from superstars like Mellow,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: all the j Auto, all those old g guys. You know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: they showed me something love. I don't even see the hate.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: So I was like I felt like I was really
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: the missing piece. I was like Yo Mo, like Yo,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: hold up, I'm coming in here, y'all Maine showing so
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: much love, maybe it made me think different.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Nobody would have Dick.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: While you're playing, You're in New York, you and the garden,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: you're feeling, and you're seeing your people around.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I mean.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Crazy, You don't want to know when when you first
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: got traded, right, And I was watching the game, your
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: first game, and I think you're at the basketball in
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: your hand and you went up to Jaalen and he
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: was like, yo, you know where do you like the ball?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: This is my first game and he was just like, yo,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: play your game. Did you feel like you weren't gonna
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: be received well during that time? And I was like, damn,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: he just said play your game here, but like, yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: now you could do it that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: It was just it felt cold at first.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: It's just you try to get you know, you you know,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: obviously every every team got they superstars. He's just two star,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: you know, and you got to blend in with them superstars.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: You're gonna be You're gonna get out somewhere else. So
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I was just trying to, you know, pick pick a
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: bring out on like what you what you need, what
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: you need from me, or like what you see And
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: when he said play a game and gave me so
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: much relief because obviously the superstar is telling you that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: You know, you want the superstar to be on your
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: side at all times because at the end of the day,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: it's his team. So when he said that, and he said,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: when you're gonna know, you're gonna fill that when you're
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: in the game, and that's exactly what happened.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: It was easy though. That was the easiest group too.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: If I had to get traded, I'm so happy it
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: was in New York because not only that, when you
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: get traded, you gotta move right away.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I had apart, I got a house out in New Orleans.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I had my kids in school.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Or when you get traded, you gotta literally once you
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: get traded, you don't really go back.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Like I'd never been back to New Orleans.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: I got traded on the road when I was with
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: New Orleans and I was in Minnesota, and I never
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: went back to ever since. So I had somebody take
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: my clothes, wrap it all up, take my card, come
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: over here. And then I had changed houses. I had
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: to change schools and start that. So it was anywhere
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I had to get traded. Obviously it was New York
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: because I have family here, So it was so much
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: easier if I would have got traded somewhere else. Now
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: I gotta do something else. Now I gotta bring family
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: and make me feel comfortable, you know. Miss It was
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: a lot.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Now that one move that you do that that I
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: would say. The NBA loves right, but you act like
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: you on the bench and you come still that ball
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: coaches and everybody getting hitt to it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Now, yeah, yeah, they showed you know what I'm saying.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Before they was like, Yo, what is this. You're not
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: gonna do ship with this. And then obviously when they
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: got to a point where it was working, it came
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: a play like yo girl, Jose we need this. Yo,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: whatever time you need to do to get it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Now with this series, did you ever think the Knicks
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: weren't gonna win? Right, even when they did the gambling
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: and they did the all of the gambling sits they
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: said the first everything was the Spurs were gonna win,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Spurs were gonna win.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Spurs.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Did you ever think like this is gonna be difficult
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Winby's a problem? Did you ever think that was gonna
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: be issue?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: We knew he was gonna be a problem, but we
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: never had like I ain't gonna lie. We we won
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: because we was on that like we knew. We were like,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: whatever happens, we're gonna we're gonna make this work. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: to be honest, you know before I was there, I
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: wasn't there at the time.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: So they beat them in the in the NBA Cup.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Like, so when you know you could beat a team
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: at another high level, like it was no like no
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: fear or no like.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Like it was appropriate fear.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Like, Yo, these they good enough to beat us, but
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: we know we could beat them, so it's like and
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: then we did what we needed to do.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Obviously, Winby is a great player. But how did you.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: Feel about the way he acted after the game?
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean, I got to mix emotions, you
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: know what I mean. I'm a competitor too, but I
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: also like I stare my my like, stare my enemies down,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like I look forward to them,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I shake their hand.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Obviously, it's a game. You don't like the moment you
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: lost the.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Probably the biggest game of your career, but you're gonna
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: have more moments. And I feel like the way he
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: did it was a little too crazy for me because
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: I loved how he compete during the game. Obviously people
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: didn't like how he was being aggressive, but bro, we
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: want to fight. Were fighting for something between the lines.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I feel like anything it's cool outside the lines, shake
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: your hand, you know, shake hands and.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Call it what it is.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Jose when he mush Jalen right from New York, You
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: from New York. Nobody at the bench would get him
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: a little shove.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: In the chest. We didn't even see it. Like like
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: if you really ask anybody on the bench, like JB.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Jalen can't do nothing, like not saying that he can't
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: do nothing, and he like or he want he didn't
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: want to do nothing. We need him to stay in
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: the game, like if it's a basketball thing, like it's
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: it's guys like me, me, Mitch and Jordan Clarkson or
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: who does we gotta do something, And we didn't see
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: that at the moment. I mean, if I would have
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: saw it, I think I would have got like not
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: necessarily kicked out, but it would have been like overview it,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, because that was a.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Little of part.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Because you ever think the next game that was ever
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: in a conversation like somebody got to hit him one time?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but you didn't in the last game.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: The next game, I.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Mean, y'all beat him up, but nobody gave him that one.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Mitchell gave him a good way. I mean, you can't
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: get kicked out. We need these guys, you know, he
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: can't wait to go back to friends. I love y'all
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: to say, y'all got to.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Crazy. Listen, how did game four field? Yo? I wonder
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: what for you? What was more emotional? Game four?
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Actually winning Game four?
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Okay, game four because I was gonna be hype regardless.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: You see me, Yo, you look at the last game, job,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I had one rebound and zero points, like and it
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: turned up like I said, I'm celebrating like I was
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: an m v P.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: But I was going to celebrate regardless, like because we won.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: And is it crazy? Game four made it so much better.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: You played a crucial role, and that's what so much
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: better for me, you know, just so now, like it
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: just gave me a better like, oh yo, I actually
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: did something for this team or we did something to
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: win the game.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: So that Game four changed everything for me. Which was
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: three for three in the fourth quarter. Yeah, I scored
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: all my points in it in the fourth Yeah, I
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: only scored it only in the fourth quarter. So and
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: in the role I was having, you know, it's very
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: you know, Mike Brown did a good job. You know
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: some days, you know it's everybody had a step up,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: you know. That was that day was my day and
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: not just happy and went with our way though we
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: was down thirty and we came back.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: So that's been moved.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Layup was you was you afraid to go through the
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: rim at all because it wouldby nah?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You kind of called him lacking he was on the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: other sideway.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but that he just bro he's different. Bro, you
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: think you have an open layup or open jump shot,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: He's just he's just there. Yeah, he's an alien for sure.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: How do you do you practice that with tall ass is?
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Because you were shooting over him like it was to
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: the point where it was like just getting over his fingers.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: No, because honestly, I think he's you know, he's gonna
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: be He's great, he's a great player.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: He a little goofy to.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Me, like you know what I'm saying, Like you hit
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: him with something, he's just like oh, like he was tumbling,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: so like I was just trying to keep him off
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: balance as much a I can't, because if you don't,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: he's gonna block it regardless or make you shoot differently.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I don't even know how og was shooting over him
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: like consistently good like that.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: So we dumped on him with two hands one time

  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I was drunk.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: First of all, we see it was just crazy though,
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: because one think I do not regret, but like one
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: thing I wish I never did so. But once we won,
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: I got drunk, like I'm not even playing with you.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I went to the back. I was drinking. The only
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: thing I was doing wild. I was drinking like every
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: type of lego, like now I have.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Some trash as looking yeah yeah, I was wild though,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: like I was wild. Yeah, I was drinking. I don't
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: even drink champion. I was drinking like yeah yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: So I got drunk too fast, like I was like, damn,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: my head is spinning like I'm over here, looking like
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: I'm over here, sack. I'm like, nah, I need to
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: wake up. And they do something. But that was the
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: only the only down for it. But we celebrate from
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: the arena. There's long ass flight back from New York
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: to San Antoine that was that was.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: It was just long. But we was party on the plane.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: And once we land, I went home, took a shower
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: and put some clothes on, and I went to that
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Puerto Rican bur.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: The Puerto Rican kids in New York kids, they see
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: themselves in you so what what responsibility comes with representing
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: you know, both those communities.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Like that responsibility representing a high level. I like, I
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: think the best thing about me I could be myself.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I don't got to pretend to be nobody else. I
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: don't got to be political, right, I don't got to
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: like you know, this is who I am.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: And then you know, if you like it, you like it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: If you're don't, you don't.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: And I also going to I respect though everybody at
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: a high level.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna represent my flag and all my my
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: parents that are like tremendously with respect.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: But I think the most.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Important thing is about being me. It got me here,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: So why would I change that?
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: You know? Does it get tiring at all?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Because I mean, like when I seen you use with
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: your family and people are nick fans, and nick fans
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: happened once since fifty three years, so the knicks of
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: God to a lot of these kids. So does it
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: bother when you're out with your kids and you're trying
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: to do things as a family, but you still got Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I mean I wouldn't say it bothered me, but it
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: definitely has moments of like yo, come on game. I
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I'm chilling right now. You know, it's not like because
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: always a blessing. Like, bro, I was a kid, I
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: was asking mad people for like like famous people for
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: autographs or pictures. But like it's certain, it's a certain
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: point where you'd be like, yo, chill, I'm at dinner.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: But like, it was not a ball.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: It was never a bothered because I also understand, like
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: you know, this is a blessing.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: You know, at the end of the day, did y'all
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: really do this the ten weeks thing? Like you said
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: that y'all sacrificed a lot, but.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: No cheeks for ten weeks?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, crazy, no cheeks for ten weeks?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Did you participate no cheeks challenge?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I was? I was having sex, yeah, crazy Yeah was
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: serious with that.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: No, no, he was, but you know, my girls pregnant,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: so it was a little different, so it made it
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: made a little bit more easy for me. But appreciate it. Yeah, yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: I'm having a boy. Finally I got three girls. But yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: I think I don't know if anybody else listening, it
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: looked like we locked in.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: So the ten weeks paid off?
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: What did y'all do the lock in because there was
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: a definite yeah from the first round and the Hawks
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: when y'all was down to one to the rest of
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: the playoffs.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I think it was more like the fact that you know,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: JB did a great job of just being solid the
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: whole time, you know, our leader and making sure we
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: was locked in for can see the right things. And
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: we also had everybody played the good role. Josh Harty
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: like everybody had a good thing to say and everybody
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: listened to it. So, I mean, and we wanted one thing.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: We know, we wanted to want that. We wanted the championship.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: So the only way to be on that, we got
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: to be on the straight line. And that's what we
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: did that season.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: With that series with Atlanta. What was the change because
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Atlanta that series was no like the rest of the series.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: So what changed during that series with everybody else?
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: They came out hot, you know, they they came out
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: and played and I think, you know, it's a lot
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: of pressure for New York no matter what people say
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: or how people it's like we as players, you feel
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: it just a little bit. So at that moment, you know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: they coming out and making everything when you play the Knicks, bro,
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: everybody plays good role players the stars.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Like it's just like, yo, we played the Knicks. Nah,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: we turn it up.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: So Atlanta was hooping and they had a great they
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: were doing a great job. But and also we felt
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: it like damn, we're in a close game with Atlanta.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: We shouldn't be and they had nothing to lose. We
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: had everything else to lose, so they in the close game, like, yo,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: we got to close this out.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: We gotta figure figure figured out for it out.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: And it was so staggering that we were trying to
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: figure out that we was putting so much pressure on ourselves.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: And then it was a time when we had a
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: meeting and it was like yo, you know O G
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: pat pat Ewan talked to us like listen, you know
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: we've been here before, let's do this. And after that
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: we just woke up and we never looked back.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: How bad is it when or how forgiving of y'all
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: when personalities go at y'all? Like I remember when Jaylen
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Brunter came and everybody's like, Jalen Brunton, who's that?
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: He's not this?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: And I've seen Stephen A. Smith apologize to him the
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: other morning, Like, how personal? How forgiving do y'all get
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: when it comes to it, Because when Nick Low's we're
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: talking shit.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I only been here for a few months, so I
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: can't talk.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: About you know all the But I JB. I don't
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: think he taking nothing personal. I think it's just like
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: to show that his work. You know the person, I
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: know him, you know what I'm saying. But we hear
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: all that noise, like we're not like we were on
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: social media. We hear all that. I get to a
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: point where I like when I was like in New
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Orleans stuff, I didn't do it on the Knicks she
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I'll be on my phone and I see somebody tolking crazy,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I'm on about yo.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: What you know what I'm saying.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: So I get moments like that, but then I just
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: be like, yo, you know what I'm I'm bugging like
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: these fans they have they make emotions about everything too.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: So but you get the same type of critique for
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: being undersized. I'm sure people say the same things about you.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Everywhere you go.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I just feel like everybody, like everybody
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: want to be gangster, like it's cool to be like
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: a good guy or like just chill. You know, I
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: ain't a gangster, but I ain't sore though, you know
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. Like, so, I just feel like that
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: social media thing is just like chill out, like, bro,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: So I gain a moment that I was like, oh,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: what the hell, like what you doing? What you're talking?
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Like, oh, if you my hood, I'll smack you. I'm like,
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: all right, so when you see me do it, you
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So, but it's not like no hostile,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: like I'm not, like I said, everybody want to be that.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: But bro, you know, gains is paid prices that you
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: don't want to pay. So I ain't a gagster. So yeah,
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: I just keep pushing.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: What was the emotion behind when you were celebrating you
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: said I wasn't eve supposed to be in the league?
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Yo?
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: That emotion that's real though, because well, yeah, I could

• 23:12
  Speaker 4: people couldn't tell me, yo, yo, you're gonna do that.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: It was a lot of people that said, yo, you can't.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: And I remember that, like I remember a lot of
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: people telling me, yo, you can't do this, You can't
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: do that, you can't do that. It was it was
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: a few selection people that I still got around me
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: that you know, it was always love. They was like, yo,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: put your mind to it, it'd be possible. And I
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: don't even tell my parents though. My parents like, yo,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: we know you was going to be a star or
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: or on the NBA. I'm like, my I stop lying. Yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I know y'all lying because I was a bad kid though, bro,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Like I I like, looking back at it, I gave
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: my mom my parents hell, you know what I'm saying.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: But it shout out to them though, because they didn't
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: never gave up on me. They gave me the great
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: support they showed me. Like I would mind. My dad
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: made me go to stan Island to play football because
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: he didn't want me to play football in Brooklyn because
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: either it was a crash like were fighting or you know,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: guns violence or like he's like you, I don't want
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: my kid running from bullets. I want him to run
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: from from foot players on play football. So he took
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: me out the area. I lived in the area, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: he just took me out. You know what I'm saying,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: to play sports and here and like that. So like
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: shout out to him. That's a lot of people said
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: I couldn't.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: And then I was like, I remember, yeah, I pulled
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: them wrong.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: So you've been doing that your whole career, right, proving
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: people wrong. Do you ever worry about losing that hunger
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: once you you know, reach I guess that mountaintop.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: You already got the championship.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: You say you want that long term contract, Like, once
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: you get that, you ever worry about losing your hunger?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Nah? And not losing my hunger? But uh, it's not nah.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think I ever do that because after that,
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: I still feel like, bro, this thing, this life could
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: go right away, you know out right away? You know
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: you you you relax. It's the draft father come up,
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: so they players sixty pays coming in for sure. Then
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: you got unsigned undrafted people, then you got people oversee.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: So it's just like, you can never lose your hunger
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: for this outside of being a role player, because if
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: you're a role player, you.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Lose your hunger. Then you're probably gonna find someth out
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the league.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Does the team stay together, does the gang stay together?
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: The band stay together?
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I hope so, I really do, man, you know, I
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: think they'll you know, out outside of the noise.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I think we get along very well.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously we want a championship together, so we
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: know how that you know how that that feels.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: So I hope it does.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, I hope everybody wins, though,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: you know, everybody got Some people gotta get paid.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Some people, you know, now hopefully this is your your payday.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Would you take a shorten to stay with the Knicks
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: like JB did?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it gotta makes sense.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Though JB he took his short but he knew at
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: the back end that he don't get that back.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna get no.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: So I gotta see what makes sense for everybody, you know,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: I do, truly do. I feel like, uh, if it's
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: it's if it's a great opportunity to stay home, I
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: stay home.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Who who declined the White House visit?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I really don't.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: They didn't put me in that mix of but they
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: probably talked to the main the main people like, I mean, guys,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I guess it was just so.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: They did decline.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: That's what I saw on social media. I don't know.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't even when. Yeah,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know nothing about that.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was on social yesterday.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, people people were saying that it was declined. Then
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: I saw some people saying that it wasn't declined. So
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: I think we were been trying to figure out like
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: y'all going or.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Not they like, don't put me in that.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Game three was the river really off.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Yo.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Oh that was the craziest game. I probably, like, like
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: just getting this. So we had to get there super early,
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: like we felt like we was on a way team.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: But it felt like a movie though, like all those celebrities.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Obviously celebrities every game, but like the celebrity and then
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: you got the president.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Like it was just a lot going on.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I think it was more pressure on us than the
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Spurs because, like I said, when you play the Knicks
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: all come to the garden once or twice, you you
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: want to perform and Nick, this is what we gotta
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: do every time.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: So it was a lot going on. And they put
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: you through extra security too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: We had to get on Like we don't get on
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: the team bus on home games. We had to get
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: on the We had to get on the team bus
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: together and get out together, and then get searched a
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: little bit and then go and then go to our
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: locker room.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I picked the Knickson six.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: But after after watching how y'all you know, handled everything
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: throughout all our games, if that don't happen in game three,
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: I think, y'all, sweet.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: You think so?
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: I mean I think yeah, I mean it would have
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: we would have had a good chance, obviously, but I
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: don't think they wanted us to win in the crib.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: That would have imagined you imagine if Game four was
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: the game y'all was up three to zero and then.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Y'all one game and the way y'all wanted, we would
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: be missing two borrows.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: It would have been.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think we would have left the garden, like
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: I don't think players could be able to left the garden,
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: like I think we would have partied there so much
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: because it would have been the energy would have been
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: and we wasn't in town. But I heard the energy
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: obviously y'all can tell me why different why, but the
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: energy was different in the city.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Didn't leave to four in the morning out in front
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: of the garden when y'all want a game. When you won,
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: you didn't leave. It was it was that many people,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: just people. Yeah, they would just have a good time.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Like it was crazy.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we would have won home man, you
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: would have had to get a helicopter for everybody, like
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: right off the top.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Was it crazy in San Antonio? Nah?
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: I mean it was a lot of Knicks fans, like
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: they came out obviously. I feel like a lot of
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: it was like I heard it was like fifty two
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: percent of the tickets of Knicks.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: But then I think, like, I.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Don't know if they were sure or not somebody so
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: they was there though. But I'm gonna be quite honest, bro.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Game one, no, no, no, no.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: One through four, one through four.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: For like a finals game. Game five never really felt
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: like that and we won.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: To me, I feel you said, really, wasn't no pressure,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: y'all love three one, Like I felt like it was
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: weird like Game one.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Game one through.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Four though, was crazy, Like the energy, the atmosphere, the
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: admophere was great Game five because obviously we won.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: But I was like, like, I don't know, You're probably right.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I think I knew he was gonna win.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did you feel like the reps wanted you to lose?
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Because I feel like all the calls and that whole
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: series was going to Santatory.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: I mean it was.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: It was a lot going on, you know what I'm saying. So,
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna talk about the RESK.
