  Speaker 5: I gotta start fucking lifting weights and then we played.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: I played the White for the first time, and that
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: was the day I was like, yeah, I need to
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: really like because I never felt so helpless as a
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: player in my life. Like he was like doing the
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: post move and I just was like not there, like
• 24:52

  Speaker 5: Yeah, hour, for sure. It was personalized, like every time
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: I saw the White I tried to violate. Yeah, like

  Speaker 5: it was personally. I didn't like what he did.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the White was he was laughing and ship your
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: big as kids, giggling and ship scoring on me, you know,

  Speaker 1: on top of your mock biscuits. Man, what I used
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to I threw a floater, hit the top of the backboard.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I shot it at the front at the top of
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the backboard. The White was crazy. It was like he
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: blocked everything and people, I know, whatever you say the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: junxst is cool, but like the reason why they got
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to the finals was because.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: The White was that good.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: There was a Progression team that had all shooters. Turk
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: was a six nine point but Dwight Howard was like that.

  Speaker 5: It felt like streetball, man, It felt like we was
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: really just out there hooping with no conscious No one
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: was thinking. It was just like you get a bucket,
• 26:56

  Speaker 5: tired life and we have the same trainer at Miami shot.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: At the remy workouts. He came man.
• 27:15

• 27:17
  Speaker 2: He a solid nigga too, man solid. It was cold.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I mean he still is good at basketball, but he
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: was super cold. It's just people catch him on the wrong.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Highlight and he got highlights. Yeah, Like his highlight tapes
• 27:32

• 27:32
  Speaker 1: They just never playing, but they always play him getting
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: dunk across by carry.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: But time that mother dunk that it's one of the
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: most because he failed and went flat.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: That's when memes start first coming out. He fell into
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: somebody cask and the closed that bitch me, that's crazy.

  Speaker 5: So I'm sitting I'm sitting on the bench in my
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: suit watching this ship. Mind you, I've never seen Lop
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: City live until this game. So when I saw that ship,
• 28:13

  Speaker 1: Is the NBA for real, like they had, Man, I
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: gotta talk to you. I would never handle that. Man.

  Speaker 3: Who are you best big to play it against so
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: far in your career? White or somebody else?
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Man Jokic and Be a couple of years back out
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: of those suits, I would saying be because he's more physical,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Like I had to really like put force in the
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: guarden him with K I just used my speed. I
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: just guard him.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: But he's scrafty man, crafty, crafty player, smart, how his
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: teammates involved.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like high man.

• 29:03
  Speaker 2: because you don't, I hate it? Click?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: But do you see it kind of like turning a
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: little bit though, because they're starting to go back a
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: little bit. Say you got some bigs that can play
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: like I know, like thirteen years ago used to throw
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the ball in the post on like let get after it.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Went to all threes like usually to catch a live
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: where you gotta shoot all threes. And now I see
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: it kind of transitioning back to like you can throw
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the ball in the post some of the bigs and
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: still operate.

  Speaker 3: How do you adapt though?
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: For me?
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's being being athletic is really will helped me
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: throughout the throughout the changes of the game, Like when
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: they were playing small ball five and everybody shooting threes.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: I was able to guard one through five. You know,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I really kept my body right throughout that time. I
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: didn't let you know the game like, yeah, I didn't
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: let it. I let it happen because I wanted it too.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: And I offer the service that teams always seen. I
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: still give you fifteen rebounds. Then they got to guard
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: me in the other end.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Two. So choices, Jorge, you really want to keep putting
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: a six y five guy on me and I can
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: guard him to Yeah, choice is yours. How you want
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: that to go? Keep you in business?
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: For sw I want to ask you, as a crazy rebounder,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: more shot attempts, a lot, more crazy er threes week,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Does that help your brand?
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Easy? For sure? Keep shooting that. If you want to
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: get it, I'm gonna get it.
• 30:27

• 30:31
  Speaker 1: if I'm a rebound. I'm like, yeah, shoot sixty thirty. Yeah, shoot,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: that ship.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Helped the payroll.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, contract it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about mayor first All Star and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: it being one of the most special Offstar games around.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Man, how was that moment?
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Crazy Kobe's last All Star game? Sane insane in Toronto?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: It was cool to ship out there, like you wouldn't
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: even enjoyable, Like you couldn't even like walk off side
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: in piece, like you will freeze the moment you steppedup side.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: But that game in itself was just memorable, like start
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: to finish, from like walking into the locker room seeing him,
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: you know, being on the same court as him, being
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: able to interact with him, knowing that this is like
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: the last time you'll really be on the floor with him.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: I think we played them already twice, so I didn't
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: get to see him again after that, And it was
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: just a special moment for me because as a kid
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: growing up and watching Kobe and watching the things he's
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: done with this league and to have a moment to
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: share the court with him one last time like that shit.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Is You'll never forget that, bro.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Like I got the highlight tape playing in my house
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: in Miami for no reason, like it's just circulated.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Just that Again, did you like when you got announced
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna make the All Star Team?
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: What was that film?
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I know, like getting drafted is the ultimate feeling. But
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: when I got my one night all start not like that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Shit felt like unbelievable. It's a crazy feeling. Yeah, it's like, nah,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: this is it, Like I'm at the pinnacle, like I'm
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: top twenty four or whatever.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: If you want to chasing you start chasing it after
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: that once you get there, like no, I got to
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: stay here, like if you get it once and always.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Have to just disrespect me every.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Ship after Early I said this Nigga talking about his journey.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Were talking.

• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I got he do that a lot. He get offended.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: He's saying, Nigga, he's trying to chase it. You want
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: to keep going because you don't want to make it.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: You don't want to make it once, and it is
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: a fluke like that.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I try to give it Early I made it once.

  Speaker 3: You got a lot of faith in your mama, and
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Mama always said, Man, I got that.

  Speaker 1: Listen, I want to talk about I mean, we're going
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to talk about other teams the show, but one of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the most unappreciated years is Blake Griffin and Detroit.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Man, he won't need to speak on that more about
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I know people talk about his Lop City days, but
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: what he did that year he was still hurt as well.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Y'all was going crazy to get into the playoffs. Man,

  Speaker 1: talk about that year, man, because b was in the
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: what top three and vy people they both of Hooper
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that year that I was killing.

  Speaker 2: I think we knew that if we didn't do it,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: now this is it. M hmm.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: So like between myself, Reggie and Blake, you know, we
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: came together that summer like yo, like now is the
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: time we know Blake, you know he was having the
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: knee issues, Like if we don't get the best out
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: of him now, like so this is this is it?
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: So I think we just had that that disposition in
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: that mindset that we weren't going to be denied, and
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: we just had this level of focus as as a team.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: I didn't just us three, but as a team, he
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: had this level of focus that like, now is the
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: time because if we don't do it now, we're all
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: getting fucking shipped out of here.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: It happened, and it happened. So shrut to Blake Griffin. Man.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: You know, he he didn't have to do it, Like
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: he didn't have to put his body through that throughout
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: the entire season, come back during the playoffs and still
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: try to play on a on a hurt knee and
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: still produced, still produced. So you know, Blake was one
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: of my favorite teamates that I had to You know,
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: he definitely got the best out of me too, because
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: I was still learning. I was still young, bro, Like
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: if you really think about it, like I was twenty six,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: twenty seven. You know, Blake has been around for a
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: minute and he's an established guy too, So I learned
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: a lot from him too about just being a winner.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: So shout out to Blake Griffin, Appreciate what you've done

• 36:31
  Speaker 2: What was that like? I just want what that feeling like?
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: The second one wasn't said the second The second one
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: he's been a block. The second one was just you.
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: Know it was.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: It was cool for me because I kind of I
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: got it late. I was a reserve, reserve, a feeling
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: for somebody who didn't play in So it wasn't like
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I made it, but I made it.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: That counts reserve. It wouldn't have matter if I was picked.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: But still still a great feeling, you know, getting two
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: of them, and you know, playing in that game always is.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: It's fun though most definitely I gotta ask you know
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying that make sure you make a change.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: What's that light?
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying going for being an organization?
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: You was in Detroit for eight years now, your first
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: time switching up do a different city.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: How was that like? Especially?
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I know, like people talk about the actual situation of basketball,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: but mentally, what's it like?
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: All right? Now? I'm in a different phase of my life.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, getting traded from Detroit was the ship was like
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: a movie bro Like, it didn't it didn't make sense.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: I didn't understand it, none of it. I didn't process
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: it well, and I don't think I took it very
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: well because I was kind of blindsided by it and
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: I didn't know why. I thought the relationship we had
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: in that city was a lot stronger than what was presented.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: But m hm, you know, I forget that this is
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: also a business.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: You want your yay. I wanted to retire in de Troy. Man,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: that was that was it. That's home. I still got
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: a crib there.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Now, don't people say that I grew ugled in.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: I grew I grew up in the Troy, so like
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: Detroit was home for me. Like I just got there,
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: like when I was twenty three, twenty four experienced life.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: I got eighteen years old, so I was still a kid.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: So everything I learned was there. But being traded in
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: synth of Cleveland, I was was weird because Tristan Thompson
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: was still there, and so I'm like, how does this
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: work for me?
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're good? That would CT thirteen.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't understand what the what the plan was,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and how this fits, like for the purpose of this trade,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: like how does this work for my career?
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: And lo and behold to find out that it set
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: my ship spiraling. My stock just went down, you know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: the appreciation for my game down. So I had to
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: get to a new mindset of just like how do
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: I maneuver and how do I shake this? Uh this
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: narrative that is painted on me right now.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: So not one of my favorite clauds, but like one
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: of my things I think the kids need to see.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: When he was giving games to the kids, he was
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: just like, look how this game goes. You know, so
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I've been here, I've been here, I've been here. This
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: game will take you anywhere, but you got to always
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: be ready. That's like a true testament that situation. Like
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: now I'm somewhere where I know I'm elite, but I'm
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: in a situation that don't make sense. But I still
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: got to keep my mental here because I know I'm
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: still working. So that was one of the most fire videos.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I was a max player one hundred million dollars and
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I had to go figure it out again.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean a lot of people don't want to
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: do that though, and with that situation, it wasn't playing
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: too like a lot of people asked, yo, did you
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: plan to do that? Not Like I was genuinely like
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: in the moment with that situation, because I'm seeing the
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: next generation of what I was and if I can
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: just shed a little bit of light and show them
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: there there's so much more to this game than just
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: scoring thirty points a game. You know, I feel like
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: I've done my job and it was just one of
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: those moments I feel like I really it really stuck
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: what I said because it was personal. Bro, it's just us.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: It's just me and my team did I was coaching,
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: it was just us. There was ten of us, had
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: us in the circle, and I was talking to them
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: like it was I let them with y'all. These kids
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: are fucking fifteen sixteen and they don't know what the
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: fuck I'm talking about. But the way I explained it
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: to them, it's like, Oh, there's so much to this
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: game that that that has to offer. Yeah, you take
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: this shit seriously.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Who embraced you down in Cleveland?
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Did anybody like make you feel comfortable while you was there?
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Or you just the team didn't?
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: The team was great, and the organization, Cleveland's organization was great,
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: Like they definitely knew that.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: I was like.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: Uncomfortable and I did. I still wasn't like understanding what

• 47:19
  Speaker 2: they will.
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: Talk your ass I of not playing basketball no more now.
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: So for me, I mean I went there with the
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: mindset just to try to help the team the best
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: way I can. Both a D and Lebron were hurt
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: when I got there, so I was playing under man
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: at the time too, So I did what we made
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: it to the playing game we wanted to play in games.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: So my experience wasn't bad.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, looky, I would have stayed if they offered so,
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: but they had a different, different plan.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: So it's what it is. I enjoyed my time. It
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: was great.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Great to play with Lebron, great to play with AD.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Both great players. Will you could have did more? I
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: got a question, shoot it ad Or and B in
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: what sense gang like?
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Skill wise? Yeah and B you think he got more
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: ad Dron v p B. I mean.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Mainly I say that because I played against them both.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Bro that your tape, Yeah, I played against them both.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I mean AD is uber skilled, Like he's super skilled.
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: It's not even not even the question, but the ship
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: that Joely and B does at seven foot and almost
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: three hundred pounds, that has Yeah, it's ridiculous.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Bro, do with that.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Not only is he beating you with guard moves, he's
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: gonna catch you in the paint too and body.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like a D. If he catches that on the.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Pick and roller, the pop picking pop to the elbow,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: he's dangerous. I feel like with him beat there's just
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: so much more ship that you.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Throw at you. I think in B Iso game is
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: better than ADH for sure.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I think a D he uses quickness and his athletic
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: ability more right, Joel and B, you can really just
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: thrown the ball like watch out.
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, trust me, I reguarded that nigga in practice every day.
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: I was a tout on me for you was just
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: trying to ship.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: I just asked you that, bro, because just listening to
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: your story, I know a little bit about you. But
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: like over the conversation asking this questions, you played with
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of the best big man in like our
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: era of basketball, like Floyd Griffin, all them niggas is crazy.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: That is crazy. Think about it.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Who would you say is an underrated like Big D
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: don't get a lot of recognition that you were probably
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: like he cold if y'all ain't really tapped in.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: Or he's good. I don't say.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: I got.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Underrated big I think it's nice that I don't think
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: it a lot of like boot play, Yeah, but I
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: knew you play. I'm like, yeah, who's your bucket? Yeah? Defense,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: but that's not what they about the same.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Level of defending exactly. He's not getting the stops, bro
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: De ro stops. I never once said I was the
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: best defender.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: I compete. I never was like that.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: That's what the sad thing saying I compete.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: I compete, tried defended ski the ball.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Well, He's one of the first man I say that, Like,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: I want to ask both of you this. Obviously know
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: you coaches, Tige hoaching ar Madel for Shure. How was
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: it like talking to kids about basketball, like trying to
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: trailer because y'all played at such a high level. Obviously
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: y'all greater, which I both did. How was it translating
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: to the kids?
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Is like it seemed like kids now, I just like
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: they don't give a damn about anybody. Resume They like
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: we all we all? How's it hard? Like that's exactly
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: How is it like trying to get through to them?
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: You got to try to relate to them in their way.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: You can't talk to them like, yo, you need to
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: do this or that's how you do it? Like you
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: gotta shoot the ship with them, ask them what they
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: fuck with? What you enjoy, like, oh, you like playing
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: a game? What game you play? And you slipping a
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: few conversations like yo, like what you think about this?
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: What you see when you on the on the floor?
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: How do you make your next guy better? But I
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: think it's the little things with this generation that's gonna
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: be beneficial. Just kind of really trying to understand them. Yeah,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: I went throughout with like you just gotta kind of
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: encourage this group. Like I know, I grew up my
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: coaches always like yo, you gotta do this relate to
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: their better nature. So now you gotta They so used
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: to everybody kind of encouraging them or babying them, like right, spoony,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: So everybody more used to being catered to and everybody
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: getting stroke like you're gonna be great. You're gonna be great.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be great, And I think you got to
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: kind of play into that. You still give them real game,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: like he ain't gonna be that easy, like you gotta
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: do it this way, this way, But you also got
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: to encourage them because they don't hear too many negatives
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: no more like if you hear a negative, now it's
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: like he don't like me, he don't like Yeah, and
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: now kids don't have to fight. I'm ain't gonna say
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: they don't. But like you can transfer now if you
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: don't like that, coach, bro, Like that's a great question.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Like if being the number one player in your class

• 55:39
  Speaker 5: went to over him in Munson, and then the same time,
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: it's more.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: Damn, your mom had a vision.
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: Brom didn't really know much about basketball, which which is
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: the crazy part. I go to really start learning basketball
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: till I got the same time with more.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, how taught were you like in seventh eighth grade?
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Probably damn? So were you at your Grossbert? I don't
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: even think I did. I think I was just big
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: always Bro's crazy.
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: I mean high school, that's one of your numbers. Was crazy.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: That's when I found out about you. Been since niggas
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: seven blocks, Bro. I heard, always watched rivals, was dribbling
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: and ship though Yeah, I remember, I'm like this nigga here,
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: you want that motherfucker big motherfucking mother put on the college.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: That shot.
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: Du that shot you you was you was skinny Ship.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: He was like handling the ship video you you crossing
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: niggas and Ship. I'm like, shot the pans.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: I was like, so you started off as a guard
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: or they always I was always.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: I was always taught to play every if you watch
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: my video or somebody school, always say I want to
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: be able to do everything.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: I never want to limit.
• 56:56
  Speaker 5: Myself, So I would always play that way. Bring the
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: ball past shoot. I love passing, like getting my teammate talking.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: So I need to watch what you.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: Think the best part of your game is though I
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: know you the greatest free batter all the time. That's
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: what you said.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Passion, Yeah, definitely good passion for sure.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: The underrated part of your game that I think is
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: your ability to steal the ball from guards, Like if
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: you watch, like obviously I'm a basketball head, he will
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: pick point guards pockets all the time, like they try
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: to crossing. I was like a thing I'm from though,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: like in Connecticut, Like if you steal the boss someone's
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: second dunk on damn.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like for me, like I always gotta I gotta
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: throw out of that. Yeah, all the people to pick
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: everybody and then he.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Get on a fast break, punch that ship, like get dribbled,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: like if you run out and he's gonna throw it behind.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: His back, like I guarantee it. So how like Luis
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: to find it?
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: You on a fast break throwing it behind your back,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: going down, punching that bitch.
• 57:53
