- 8:27Speaker 2: Nah, I don't like to bring attention to myself like.
- 8:29Speaker 3: You a humble guy? What makes you so humble like that?
- 8:33Speaker 1: Probably my upbringing.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Man. You know, I come from a big family. I
- 8:38Speaker 2: have six siblings, five sisters, one brother.
- 8:41Speaker 4: Damn five sisters.

- 8:49Speaker 2: gonna do that. I'm not good at this, I'm not
- 8:51Speaker 2: good at that. And but that ultimately is what made
- 8:54Speaker 2: me because that pushed me to be great. I love
- 8:59Speaker 2: one peop but telling me that I can't do things
- 9:01Speaker 2: because now I have to prove you wrong. I've been
- 9:04Speaker 2: doing that from a young age, high school, high school,
- 9:09Speaker 2: even before high school.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I remember.
- 9:13Speaker 2: When I was going into high school, I wanted to
- 9:16Speaker 2: go to Christi King because there was a basketball rich,
- 9:18Speaker 2: traditional high school, and people were like, you can't go
- 9:20Speaker 2: to You're five. Back then, going into high school, I
- 9:23Speaker 2: was five three, one thirty. So you can't go to
- 9:25Speaker 2: Christy King. That's a basketball school.
- 9:27Speaker 1: You're five.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I say, now I'm going to Christy King. So
- 9:34Speaker 2: I went to the I went to the basketball camp
- 9:36Speaker 2: and then killed their basketball camp. And that's when they
- 9:39Speaker 2: started recruiting to go to christ the King. So I
- 9:41Speaker 2: got into Christy King. I played freshman basketball, and everybody
- 9:45Speaker 2: knows who knows basketball. If you're like exceptional, you don't
- 9:49Speaker 2: play JV basketball, you go straight up, you go straight
- 9:52Speaker 2: to Voss. As a sophomore, I didn't go. I didn't
- 9:54Speaker 2: go to the VOSS. I played JV basketball. They doubted
- 9:57Speaker 2: me again. I had a great he had a great
- 10:00Speaker 2: sophomore year playing Jami basketball. We wanted to. We won
- 10:03Speaker 2: the city championship. Next year went to varsity. They didn't
- 10:09Speaker 2: play much. I had to compete for playing time with
- 10:12Speaker 2: my with my best friend, every barker. At the time,
- 10:15Speaker 2: they didn't want to start both of us.
- 10:18Speaker 1: But then midway.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Through our senior year, Chris Kraft, the two guards got hurt,
- 10:24Speaker 2: so then our coach was forced to start both of us,
- 10:27Speaker 2: and that's when the team took off. That's when we
- 10:29Speaker 2: started killing everybody. We had that one and two punts.
- 10:33Speaker 2: We were going nobody, nobody could check us.
- 10:36Speaker 4: I believe that I was.
- 10:38Speaker 2: I was still getting doubted, and then no one was saying.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Everybody was saying I can't play Division one basketball because
- 10:44Speaker 2: I was so small.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I was like, all right, well I got put them wrong.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Then I started getting started getting like you know, mid
- 10:50Speaker 2: major recruitments, the housers, theonas the riders, but houses showing
- 10:58Speaker 2: the most love. And that's why I chose to go there.
- 11:01Speaker 4: And it was loyal to them.
- 11:02Speaker 1: You said, I'm moreal to the soil. I feel now
- 11:07Speaker 1: like you.
- 11:07Speaker 5: You you played for Hostra like they gave you their word,
- 11:11Speaker 5: you gave you kept your word with them, and now
- 11:12Speaker 5: you're coaching.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Well.
- 11:16Speaker 2: One of the biggest reasons why I chose Hofstra, you know,
- 11:20Speaker 2: I wanted to be the big fish in small pond
- 11:23Speaker 2: because coming up, uh, I was even au. I was
- 11:28Speaker 2: on teams with Lamar and Malik Allen, so I was
- 11:31Speaker 2: never the guy got you, never the guy. I was always,
- 11:36Speaker 2: you know, playing third or fourth. So I wanted to
- 11:38Speaker 2: go somewhere where it was gonna be about me, you know,
- 11:41Speaker 2: selfishly that I wanted. That's why I could have went
- 11:51Speaker 2: the same I could have went to a bunch of schools.
- 11:53Speaker 2: I say, Nah, I wanted to be about me. I
- 11:55Speaker 2: want to be when the team wins, they talking about
- 11:58Speaker 2: speedy Classton. So that's so I went to Hofsta And
- 12:02Speaker 2: when I signed it, it.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Was a big thing. I was like, yeah, this is
- 12:04Speaker 1: what I wanted.
- 12:05Speaker 2: It was on News twelve, you know, CBS ABC, There's like,
- 12:08Speaker 2: how did she get this kid?
- 12:11Speaker 1: I was like this that made me.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Smile, got you, Yeah, and then the rest is history. Nah, definitely,
- 12:18Speaker 2: that's dope.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Man.
- 12:19Speaker 4: How did you keep the balance going into college because
- 12:21Speaker 4: you know, you see a lot of college kids make
- 12:23Speaker 4: mistakes as well as NBA stars make mistakes. How do
- 12:26Speaker 4: you keep the balance between everything like your head and
- 12:28Speaker 4: not getting gassed you on the news?
- 12:30Speaker 3: Now you're young, you're a kids still.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Basically, I'm telling you honestly, it's because of my siblings.
- 12:37Speaker 2: They really kept me humble and really shot all that
- 12:41Speaker 2: down like this, no, that's not who you are, Like, no,
- 12:44Speaker 2: we know who you are, Like, you're not.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Going to the NBA.
- 12:48Speaker 2: They laughed at sisters, you know, laughed at me when
- 12:52Speaker 2: I told him I was going to Nyby. But I'm
- 12:53Speaker 2: a big manifesto so like, if I say it, I
- 12:58Speaker 2: truly believe it's going to happen. But I even get
- 13:01Speaker 2: my sister, who at the time she was a doctor,
- 13:04Speaker 2: and she had bought a brand name.
- 13:06Speaker 3: She was a doctor, so the pressure was one.
- 13:09Speaker 2: She had brought in my midway of my senior year.
- 13:16Speaker 2: She had bought a brand new Ford Explorer and I said, yo,
- 13:20Speaker 2: you know, I mean college. I'm like, I want to
- 13:22Speaker 2: drop that. Like I had a little beat up, coutless supreme.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I said, I said, yo, sis, let me try that.

- 13:35Speaker 2: know how. I don't know how people leave me. I
- 13:37Speaker 2: don't know how I beat her, but yo, she let
- 13:39Speaker 2: me rock. I was big money, I was big man
- 13:44Speaker 2: on campus. You didn't tell me anything. You can't tell
- 13:46Speaker 2: me nothing.

- 16:31Speaker 4: The legendary ship we like to heal on the show.
- 16:35Speaker 4: How do you how do you how does an athlete
- 16:38Speaker 4: deal with injury?
- 16:39Speaker 1: Like?
- 16:39Speaker 3: How how do you overcome that?
- 16:41Speaker 4: Like?
- 16:41Speaker 2: Man, it was tough, especially for me because you know,
- 16:45Speaker 2: it's I was branding new to the league and for
- 16:49Speaker 2: me to tem my a c L in the preseason game,
- 16:53Speaker 2: so it's like I was in the league, but I
- 16:55Speaker 2: wasn't in the league yet. Got you know what I'm saying.
- 16:58Speaker 2: I was there, but I wasn't playing, So it was
- 17:00Speaker 2: it was kind of it was tough stating now, but
- 17:02Speaker 2: and it was a long rehab process take you to
- 17:05Speaker 2: get back, like six months, six months, and I remember
- 17:11Speaker 2: it was around playoff time. I was kind of back,
- 17:13Speaker 2: but then I wanted to play. But LB who was
- 17:17Speaker 2: like Brown at the time, It's like, nah, we're not
- 17:20Speaker 2: gonna rush you back, like just take the take the
- 17:22Speaker 2: full year. I wanted to play got you because I
- 17:26Speaker 2: want to live on my drink.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Of course, of course.
- 17:29Speaker 2: You know, they kept my best interest at heart, so
- 17:33Speaker 2: set out the whole year. I went to some league
- 17:37Speaker 2: and started opening again. Definitely.
- 17:40Speaker 5: See Tatum just came back so fast, and I'm like,
- 17:42Speaker 5: that's scary, man.
- 17:45Speaker 2: He had achilles achilles. Man, I don't listen. I hope
- 17:52Speaker 2: he stays healthy.
- 17:53Speaker 5: Because when he put him off right now, it's kind
- 17:55Speaker 5: of amazing to be back so fast.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Yes, correct, correct, and that could be a career killer.
- 18:02Speaker 2: He tears that again a man, but hopefully listen. Yeah golf,
- 18:07Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a tough one. Got that's
- 18:12Speaker 2: a tough one. He's a great player.
- 18:15Speaker 1: That was me.
- 18:15Speaker 2: I probably would not have put my career in jeopardy
- 18:18Speaker 2: like that to come back so fast. KD came back
- 18:21Speaker 2: a little fast too, though, I mean k was a
- 18:24Speaker 2: little different because I don't I don't I don't know
- 18:29Speaker 2: to seek the timing of it.
- 18:30Speaker 1: How many months KD sat out?
- 18:32Speaker 4: I think it was, But there's a big difference between
- 18:35Speaker 4: A C L and Achilles, though.
- 18:38Speaker 2: He told his Achilles also, I don't know the time frame.
- 18:45Speaker 2: But if I, if I was JT, I just want
- 18:46Speaker 2: to say out the whole year, got you, just to
- 18:48Speaker 2: just to make sure, got you, Just to make sure
- 18:51Speaker 2: because he's still relatively young.
- 18:53Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I got already. I think as long as
- 18:57Speaker 4: you got one ship, you know you're good. He's straight
- 19:00Speaker 4: because what's the chances you know, you three P two
- 19:02Speaker 4: P like W one is That's what I'm saying, and you.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Got one with saying Antonio, my man, man, it was crazy.
- 19:12Speaker 4: About talking about that man.
- 19:15Speaker 3: What year was that?
- 19:16Speaker 1: Three oh three?
- 19:19Speaker 2: I had some legends on that team, legends, my man
- 19:23Speaker 2: Steve Jackson, you know, you know, growing up and watching
- 19:29Speaker 2: the finals and then actually experiencing it and not just
- 19:33Speaker 2: be honest, not just be on the sideline, but to
- 19:36Speaker 2: be actually on the court and meaningful minutes.
- 19:40Speaker 1: It was wild. It was wild.
- 19:41Speaker 2: I watched the finals to this day and get goosebumps,
- 19:44Speaker 2: like this is crazy like I was playing in that definitely. Definitely,
- 19:49Speaker 2: NBA Finals is crazy when when you're in the moment
- 19:54Speaker 2: you really.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Don't think about it.
- 19:56Speaker 2: It's not until after you finished and you retire, at
- 20:00Speaker 2: least for me, and you look back like this, damn
- 20:02Speaker 2: like yo, I was on the biggest stage and then
- 20:06Speaker 2: my thing deathly is crazy.
- 20:09Speaker 4: My range man, you I would have you know, I
- 20:20Speaker 4: got my NBA he definitely over here.
- 20:27Speaker 3: That's what I like about you.
- 20:28Speaker 4: You've always been humble, even when I went to his house,
- 20:31Speaker 4: like a humble man, humble nice guy.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Bro about the crib like that bowl.
- 20:38Speaker 4: I mean, my prible little meal ticket. I was like
- 20:42Speaker 4: three and four mil tickets, you know what I mean.
- 20:44Speaker 4: So I'm loving that.
- 20:46Speaker 3: So how it goes from how do you feel going
- 20:48Speaker 3: from player to coach?
- 20:50Speaker 1: Now?
- 20:51Speaker 3: How was that?
- 20:52Speaker 2: It was hard? It was a tough transition for me
- 20:57Speaker 2: because the office hours are so long. You're not as
- 21:04Speaker 2: a player, and I used to being in one spot
- 21:07Speaker 2: for that long of a time. I mean, you might
- 21:10Speaker 2: have you're going to practice, you know, two three hours whatever,
- 21:14Speaker 2: but then you're home and you got the rest of
- 21:15Speaker 2: the day to yourself. Whereas when you're coaching it's like
- 21:19Speaker 2: a real nine to five. You're in the office niney
- 21:23Speaker 2: at nine am and you don't leave to like six seven.
- 21:27Speaker 2: So like that was an adjustment for me. I'm like, honestly,
- 21:31Speaker 2: my first year, I was like, I don't know if
- 21:33Speaker 2: I could do this. I don't know if I can
- 21:35Speaker 2: do this, Like I like, I like my personal time, right,
- 21:38Speaker 2: So I was like I don't know about this, but
- 21:41Speaker 2: I stuck it. I was like, all right, well let
- 21:43Speaker 2: me just see. But I was honestly, I don't know.
- 21:45Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know. And in my first
- 21:47Speaker 2: recruiting trip, this was what really blew my mind. So
- 21:51Speaker 2: they sent me to DC to watch a couple of practices.
- 21:55Speaker 2: So I left home like seven am, got to d
- 21:59Speaker 2: C driving, not flying.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Yeah, this was.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Joe to d C five hours, went to a couple
- 22:10Speaker 2: of practices, bounced around d C, got back on the
- 22:14Speaker 2: road at like five o'clock in the afternoon to come
- 22:18Speaker 2: back home, got home about ten pm, and then had
- 22:23Speaker 2: to go back into the office the next day. And
- 22:25Speaker 2: I am I'm like I was. I was dumb tired,
- 22:30Speaker 2: dumb tired. I'm like, if this is what it's gonna be,
- 22:34Speaker 2: I don't know. If I could do this, like I am,
- 22:37Speaker 2: I am cooked from doing all that and one day
- 22:41Speaker 2: dropping the DC and back and one day what's what's
- 22:46Speaker 2: the guy ten?
- 22:47Speaker 1: I was on the road?

- 23:54Speaker 4: He's a scary dude. I've been scared to come to
- 23:55Speaker 4: practice with him. That was just like the Spurs. You
- 23:58Speaker 4: knew they was gonna win because they just was always
- 24:00Speaker 4: just so humble and just like every time they score.
- 24:03Speaker 3: It was just like especially Tim Duncan.

- 29:57Speaker 4: Do you ever think about writing the book, documentar anything.
- 30:01Speaker 2: But a couple of people approached me, so you never know.
- 30:06Speaker 1: It's everything. Everything is on the table.
- 30:09Speaker 4: Yeah, because people places and things like that.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Like, you know, I'm all about that bread, so it's
- 30:14Speaker 2: gonna make bread makes you know some people want to know,
- 30:18Speaker 2: and probably definitely from your perspective, why do most point
- 30:20Speaker 2: guards become coaches Because we see the game as coaches
- 30:27Speaker 2: where the coach on the floor. So it's a natural
- 30:30Speaker 2: transition that we become, hey coaches, got because we're used
- 30:36Speaker 2: to directing and leading. That's why you see a lot
- 30:40Speaker 2: of a lot of point guards being coaches. And that's
- 30:44Speaker 2: why they say big guys can't be coaches.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Because I've never seen one actually.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Coach right correct, Well, Pat tried it, okay and he
- 30:54Speaker 2: was good.
- 30:55Speaker 1: That was a good coach that George.
- 31:00Speaker 2: That's what his album minter. But point guards there, they're
- 31:04Speaker 2: natural coaches. So that's why it's an easy transition for
- 31:07Speaker 2: us to become head coaches.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Got you to.
- 31:10Speaker 2: Be to be a point guard, you have to see
- 31:12Speaker 2: the game one step before it's happening.
- 31:16Speaker 1: And as a coach, you know that bow as well.
- 31:20Speaker 4: Mm hmm yeah, because you've never seen the tall coach,
- 31:23Speaker 4: Like you said, you know the.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Game where the thinkers out there.
- 31:30Speaker 4: Right is the thinkers? Who's some of your favorite new

- 32:43Speaker 2: same stuff because it wasn't for him.
- 32:45Speaker 4: Who knows, that's a lot of work driving to practice.

- 35:14Speaker 5: big on sports and yeah that's what we call him
- 35:18Speaker 5: and me and him always a yeah, we're always going
- 35:21Speaker 5: back and forth about this Kobe and Lebron thing, And
- 35:24Speaker 5: you played against both.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Coby, you played against both, So who
- 35:29Speaker 1: would you?
- 35:30Speaker 2: Who would you?
- 35:30Speaker 1: Ranking your right?
- 35:32Speaker 2: So I played against the I played against a young Lebron. Okay,
- 35:36Speaker 2: he was a new buck in the league. Okay, what
- 35:39Speaker 2: year was that, like, oh, four o five when Bron
- 35:46Speaker 2: first came the league. I was with Golden State when
- 35:48Speaker 2: he when he first got that. Okay, But cole Man
- 35:52Speaker 2: cod is different, was different. So I'm going to go
- 35:57Speaker 2: with Cob because like Coach has had the hunger. He
- 36:01Speaker 2: Kobe had that dog in them and that's the one
- 36:04Speaker 2: thing that Lebron lacks. He doesn't have that dog, you know, right,
- 36:10Speaker 2: So for me, a lot of people say, what you mean,
- 36:13Speaker 2: Lebron don't got the you mean?
- 36:14Speaker 4: Because Kobe gonna go for the shot sometimes shot records. No,
- 36:28Speaker 4: Lebron broke a whole bunch of records. He's a legend
- 36:30Speaker 4: in the whole thing. He's in the top five.
- 36:34Speaker 2: But I'm not going to play him over Kobe. Like Kobe,
- 36:37Speaker 2: he wants that moment, he wants the ball. Bron wants
- 36:41Speaker 2: the ball Lebron and Bron is a great player. Lebron
- 36:44Speaker 2: is going to make the right play, And what's wrong
- 36:46Speaker 2: with that?
- 36:47Speaker 5: Y'all make it seem like when you say Bron is
- 36:49Speaker 5: going to make the right play, like that's wrong.
- 36:52Speaker 2: It's not. But sometimes the right player is like, go
- 36:56Speaker 2: get me a buck.
- 36:57Speaker 1: I see Mike make the play. I see Mike pass.
- 37:00Speaker 5: I seen Mike pass passing to win the game before
- 37:04Speaker 5: we're all seen as he passed off the curve to
- 37:06Speaker 5: win the game. It's been done. Mike made some passes
- 37:10Speaker 5: to in these moments.
- 37:12Speaker 1: Yeah, but see look see Bron.
- 37:16Speaker 2: I think he failed in that moment a couple of
- 37:19Speaker 2: times early in his career.
- 37:21Speaker 1: And it was early in his career. That was early.
- 37:24Speaker 2: That's why people question when he gives it up God
- 37:27Speaker 2: rather than score it. Whereas you know, Michael Kobe, they
- 37:32Speaker 2: they've had a lot of they came out doing that. Yes, yeah,
- 37:36Speaker 2: most times they they did it then failed, So that's
- 37:40Speaker 2: why they get the pass when they passed it, got you,
- 37:43Speaker 2: Whereas Bron's like, oh no.
- 37:44Speaker 1: You should have shot it. You don't want to fail.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Got you?
- 37:48Speaker 4: Okay, you played with all the fucking greats.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I played it the all time. Yeah, I
- 37:52Speaker 2: played it. I played in a great era. That's what
- 37:54Speaker 2: I'm duncan I played. I cut. I cut the end
- 37:58Speaker 2: of Mike.
- 38:01Speaker 1: I didn't know. That's what year was that. It's all good.
- 38:12Speaker 1: It's all good.
- 38:13Speaker 5: That was.
- 38:14Speaker 1: That was that was even to even be like I'm
- 38:17Speaker 1: on the court with my mi Like what year was that?
- 38:20Speaker 3: Talk about that with Mike.
- 38:22Speaker 2: Crazy be on the same called with Michael Jordan. I said, Yo,
- 38:27Speaker 2: I A'm on the car. I am sharing I am

- 38:32Speaker 2: remember we were I was with I was the Sixers.
- 38:34Speaker 2: So we were playing against the Wizards and somehow Mike
- 38:38Speaker 2: got he got switched on me, so he was going
- 38:41Speaker 2: to me. So Mike was like, you ain't gonna take that.
- 38:45Speaker 2: I'm like, oh ship, this is during again. I'm like, yo,
- 38:48Speaker 2: this dude, Michael Jordan knows my man.
- 38:52Speaker 1: You Michael Jordan's just sending my name. This is walch me.
- 38:57Speaker 2: I said, did you up the place? I passed it

- 39:10Speaker 2: so fast. Let me go stand over here, let me
- 39:13Speaker 2: let me clean, let me digestic. That's crazy, that's do
- 39:16Speaker 2: it was ey like so like all right, you know,
- 39:21Speaker 2: getting to the NBA is dope. You get to see
- 39:23Speaker 2: a lot of people that you looked up to. But
- 39:25Speaker 2: then Michael was different. Of course, it's levels to everything.
- 39:32Speaker 2: I remember so before the game, priorly to the game,
- 39:35Speaker 2: I was in the hallway or whatever.
- 39:37Speaker 1: It was noisy. It was noisy.
- 39:39Speaker 2: I was talking to my boy Olajah who who's on
- 39:43Speaker 2: the same who's on the team also, So the whole
- 39:46Speaker 2: it was noisy, and then all of a sudden, it's
- 39:49Speaker 2: just got dumb quiet, like dangn, what the like everybody
- 39:54Speaker 2: stopped talking at one time, My damn, what the hell happened?
- 39:57Speaker 2: I had my back turn like the like, damn, stop talking.

- 40:04Speaker 4: Jordans Michael Jordan power bro way the way ship down.
- 40:09Speaker 2: Did you stop talking to walk down the hallway?
- 40:17Speaker 4: I'm like, it's crazy.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Look at that, yo, when he walks in the room.
- 40:24Speaker 2: It's different. And like I think Lebron had talked about
- 40:27Speaker 2: it when they when they when they went, I think
- 40:32Speaker 2: it was like the top fifty or seventy five like that,
- 40:35Speaker 2: Yeah you copy copy. He was like, yo, top seventy five,
- 40:38Speaker 2: like it was everybody, Yeah, the best of the best.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Definitely the Legends out of Legends. Yeah, it's different with Michael.
- 40:47Speaker 2: It's different. Michael is different than anyone anyone. Everyone looks
- 40:52Speaker 2: up to Michael.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Look at that.
- 40:53Speaker 2: Everyone got you, Michael the Goat got you.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Yes, Sir Michael Jordan, I mean, you gotta remember that.
- 41:02Speaker 4: To me, the era, that era of basketball was so
- 41:05Speaker 4: crazy because I don't want to advocate advocate the fighting,
- 41:08Speaker 4: but it was rough back then.
- 41:09Speaker 3: Dudes was fighting that It was like a foul was
- 41:14Speaker 3: really a foul.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Shout out to Draymond Green for keeping it going. Man.

- 42:21Speaker 2: he can't can't put no pressure on him like that.
- 42:23Speaker 2: You can't touch him, You can't touch them. That's why, honestly,
- 42:26Speaker 2: I really don't watch too much regular season NBA basketball.
- 42:30Speaker 1: Wait for the playoffs. Right when they get more, they
- 42:32Speaker 1: let they let them be.
- 42:33Speaker 2: A little bit more. Yeah, that's when you get to
- 42:38Speaker 2: see who's who. Yeah, right, how you think about Winby?
- 42:42Speaker 1: Man?

- 42:57Speaker 2: no one is gonna be able to do anything with him.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Seemed like right.
- 43:01Speaker 5: Now, and he got the attitude like he's want to
- 43:04Speaker 5: be the best, Like what you're talking about, like he
- 43:06Speaker 5: wanted to be the best.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Give him another two years. The NBA is in trouble.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Got you the.
- 43:12Speaker 2: Serious trouble, serious trouble.
- 43:15Speaker 4: He's definitely gonna get a chip Bro, a big man
- 43:18Speaker 4: that can shoot the three.
- 43:19Speaker 5: Like right now about the n b P talking about
- 43:22Speaker 5: some defense, don't he's like an old school player, Like
- 43:26Speaker 5: he's not trying to be friends out there. Oh yeah,
- 43:27Speaker 5: that's what I mean. He's not trying to be cool,
- 43:29Speaker 5: be cool with They asked him about the n v P.
- 43:32Speaker 5: He feel like he should be the nb He go like,
- 43:34Speaker 5: you see what I'm doing offensively and defensively, What defense
- 43:38Speaker 5: don't count?
- 43:38Speaker 1: That's what he just said, What defense don't count?
- 43:41Speaker 2: Like that's why I'm up until this this this year
- 43:44Speaker 2: right here, I don't really watched the watched All Star
- 43:46Speaker 2: Weekend because he came out aggressive All Star with Super.
- 43:51Speaker 2: He came out super.
- 43:53Speaker 1: I ain't playing with y'all. We're playing. He may step
- 43:58Speaker 1: it up, though he may step it up. Anybody stepped
- 44:01Speaker 1: it up.
- 44:01Speaker 2: And that's what that's what people they were waiting for
- 44:04Speaker 2: lebron to do that.
- 44:06Speaker 5: Y'a aint gonna be taking shots at my man, Lebronn.
- 44:16Speaker 4: And he's like, I know, my man.
- 44:24Speaker 2: Now, that's what people wanted Lebron. I know that the
- 44:27Speaker 2: dude they wanted because like also, like yo, that's the
- 44:30Speaker 2: best of the best. We want to see our hoop
- 44:33Speaker 2: against each other to see who's real. We don't want
- 44:37Speaker 2: to see y'all short and half court three. It's like
- 44:39Speaker 2: we don't want to entertainment. We want to see a game. Well,
- 44:42Speaker 2: real hoopers want to see a game.
- 44:44Speaker 5: The blame Steph Collory for that three point ship then
- 44:47Speaker 5: it is that, yeah, blame Steph covery.
- 44:49Speaker 2: But it's part of the game. They can all the game. Yeah, yeah,
- 44:55Speaker 2: the game. I agree, Like, na, we want to see
- 44:57Speaker 2: that competitive Like nah, like you go at each other, Kobe, Like, Noah,
- 45:03Speaker 2: go at Broun. Now go back at Kobe. He's going
- 45:06Speaker 2: on you, No, go back at him. The rocket go
- 45:09Speaker 2: back at him. And that's a story that people tell
- 45:12Speaker 2: like Kobe was ready, He's like, let's go Broun, and
- 45:15Speaker 2: Broun passed it. He did case he was telling a
- 45:19Speaker 2: story on his pod.
- 45:20Speaker 1: I remember that. I remember that, I remember I remember that.
- 45:25Speaker 1: The moment.
- 45:26Speaker 2: Now turn the moment, like, nah, Broun, you're supposed to
- 45:29Speaker 2: go at Kobe right there, supposed to go at Kobe.
- 45:32Speaker 4: Yeah, but you think it gets a little political because
- 45:34Speaker 4: there's so much money, like it gets like back in
- 45:36Speaker 4: the days, wasn't Jordan in the slam dunk context.
- 45:39Speaker 2: That's the other thing, like these cats they kind of
- 45:41Speaker 2: looked down on the slam Dunk contest, whereas the best
- 45:45Speaker 2: of the best they.
- 45:46Speaker 1: Were in the.
- 45:49Speaker 5: Michael Jordan was in the slim Because you think about
- 45:53Speaker 5: multiple times, not just one real.
- 45:56Speaker 3: Yeah crazy.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Vince called it did a fact. It changed when Braun
- 46:09Speaker 2: didn't do it. I hate when I had Stephen. It
- 46:16Speaker 2: changed when Bron didn't do it. Everybody they were waiting
- 46:19Speaker 2: for Braun to do it. Then you would have had
- 46:21Speaker 2: the job Morans, you would have had the zions like
- 46:24Speaker 2: that was a staple, like oh no, you're athletic, you
- 46:27Speaker 2: have to be in the dunk contest All Star weekend.
- 46:30Speaker 2: And when Braun didn't do it, they changed the whole
- 46:33Speaker 2: dynamic contest.
- 46:35Speaker 4: Political, man, everything is your political with stuff.
- 46:39Speaker 5: It was political back there with Mike and because they
- 46:41Speaker 5: still everybody got to protect their brand. I'm curious, like,
- 46:44Speaker 5: why would you think Broun wouldn't do that. Bron probably
- 46:47Speaker 5: didn't want to be political. No no, no, no, no no no.
- 46:51Speaker 5: He didn't. He didn't want to be known as a dunker.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Because when you when you when you go into the
- 46:58Speaker 2: dunk contest, you get that stigma it's just a dunker.
- 47:02Speaker 2: You're not you're not a player. And I think that's
- 47:05Speaker 2: what Brown was like, Nah, I don't want to be
- 47:07Speaker 2: knowing even.
- 47:08Speaker 5: With other people that came before him from MIT, Yeah
- 47:14Speaker 5: that's crazy.
- 47:14Speaker 1: You look like that.
- 47:15Speaker 3: You gotta think about it. Say it was Anthony Edwards,
- 47:18Speaker 3: Ja Moran and Win, it.
- 47:20Speaker 4: Would be what I'm saying. I watched it, watch it,
- 47:26Speaker 4: but they.
- 47:26Speaker 1: Called him like a players, like had the young white
- 47:30Speaker 1: boy doing all the crazy?
- 47:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I want that's the whole that's not who
- 47:35Speaker 2: facts facts. So they kind of took it, kind of
- 47:38Speaker 2: took the joy out of All Star weekend. Yeah, like
- 47:41Speaker 2: you gotta that's All Star weekend. To be at his best,
- 47:46Speaker 2: the stars have to be in the tennis and have
- 47:49Speaker 2: to be in the events.
- 47:50Speaker 4: Yeah, Jordan did it, Ship, Jordan did it. Everybody should
- 47:53Speaker 4: do it. That's Jordan, Dobe, Dominic wils If them three
- 47:57Speaker 4: did it? Everybody?
- 47:58Speaker 2: You had Larry burning three point contest. Now Steph does that? Steph?
- 48:06Speaker 4: What's a slam dunk? Contest. Come on man, Yeah, that's
- 48:10Speaker 4: what I'm saying. Just like three big stars and you're
- 48:14Speaker 4: not crazy. The raidings would be yo, John.
- 48:16Speaker 1: Morid, That's what I'm saying.
- 48:17Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards when Bianna Yo, they yeah, them three is
- 48:21Speaker 4: in the slam.
- 48:21Speaker 2: Dunk that they need a bron they need a Jah
- 48:25Speaker 2: and they need a Zion.
- 48:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 48:27Speaker 2: Those three right there, those three entered the slam don
- 48:30Speaker 2: content would have been crazy, would have been in a
- 48:32Speaker 2: good space with.
- 48:35Speaker 1: Correct change.
- 48:36Speaker 4: Especially when Kobe and come on, Jordan's do it. It's like, damn,
- 48:40Speaker 4: nobody do it. It's like nobody does a slam dunk contest.
- 48:44Speaker 2: Nah, that's what I'm saying. You got you got league
- 48:47Speaker 2: is doing that? Like, who wants to watch that?
- 48:50Speaker 1: Now? They've done dope definitely but.
- 48:54Speaker 4: Here to see that because nobody want to do it.
- 48:57Speaker 4: Yeah them, nobody want to do it, know what I'm saying.
- 49:03Speaker 4: That would be epic.
- 49:06Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's that's what they need to rejuvenate the
- 49:10Speaker 2: dunk contest because it's slowly, slowly dying year after year.
- 49:17Speaker 2: They're probably talking about getting rid of it at this point.
- 49:20Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely just happened. At the last one. Boy almost
- 49:24Speaker 5: killed himself.
- 49:25Speaker 3: I didn't even want.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Almost killed himself with the slip hit, the backboard fail.
- 49:33Speaker 3: Oh, I ain't even.
- 49:36Speaker 5: Jason richards Jason Richardson was a pure dunker. I think
- 49:40Speaker 5: he actually won him one year.
- 49:41Speaker 1: He was done. He wanted his son almost his son almost.
- 49:47Speaker 1: He's a bad, bad.
- 49:49Speaker 4: Man, want to take on so we can know about that.
- 49:54Speaker 4: Like I said, I didn't even watch the slip dunk
- 49:56Speaker 4: contest because.
- 49:58Speaker 1: Miss I don't watch All Star Weekend.
- 50:02Speaker 4: Three point contests. I watched because Stephan somebody might be
- 50:04Speaker 4: in there on another.
- 50:05Speaker 1: Good dream.
- 50:08Speaker 2: That's good.
- 50:11Speaker 1: Skills challenge.
- 50:13Speaker 3: You know, we on the Real Reports, we always got
- 50:15Speaker 3: to ask, I guess, what would be your dream team?
- 50:19Speaker 4: Your dream team? What you want?
- 50:21Speaker 1: Your top five? Top five.
- 50:24Speaker 2: Kobe Shack. Those are my two guys and Michael. Of
- 50:28Speaker 2: course it's crazy because I was a big Scotty Pippin fan.
- 50:36Speaker 2: I actually liked Scotty Pippen. M J. Yeah, yeah, what guys, people,
- 50:45Speaker 2: Scotty was nice. Scotty, Scotty was player. Scotty was the
- 50:51Speaker 2: person who made that team go. Now, if you're if
- 50:54Speaker 2: you're a hooper, you you you realize that, like Michael
- 50:58Speaker 2: was that nice. But Scotty was the guy. He was
- 51:02Speaker 2: a guy, he was a two way player. He's the
- 51:05Speaker 2: one who made that team go. So I was I'm
- 51:07Speaker 2: a big Scotty Pippen fan. So Scotty Pippens, he's going
- 51:10Speaker 2: to be in my top five. He's gonna be in
- 51:13Speaker 2: my top five. So I got bron Kobe, Scottie Shack
- 51:19Speaker 2: and then Magic. Okay, okay, that's those those are my
- 51:26Speaker 2: legends right there. Okay for sure.
- 51:28Speaker 4: What a life, man? What a life you live?

- 51:32Speaker 2: Still living in I've been on a great journey. I've
- 51:36Speaker 2: been blessed. So how is coaching these kids? Man?
- 51:39Speaker 5: Keeping them focused? With with social media? It's different from
- 51:42Speaker 5: your time? So how how you adapt that ship?
- 51:46Speaker 1: It's a different day and age.
- 51:47Speaker 5: Man.
- 51:49Speaker 1: You know, I just tell these guys to be.
- 51:52Speaker 2: Smart with small social media because once you put it
- 51:56Speaker 2: out there, it's out there.
- 51:59Speaker 1: And people are going to assume.
- 52:04Speaker 2: Whoever you whatever you portray on social media, that's what
- 52:08Speaker 2: people are going to think who you are, right, So
- 52:12Speaker 2: just be careful of what you or what kind of
- 52:14Speaker 2: content you put out there because that's gonna that's that's
- 52:18Speaker 2: ultimately what people are gonna think, that's who you are.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Got you.
- 52:24Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got a lot of knowledge you can give them,
- 52:26Speaker 4: you know, from high school to college to the NBA.
- 52:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:31Speaker 2: I mean, these my players, they're lucky because most of
- 52:34Speaker 2: them they want to walk the path that I've already walked.
- 52:41Speaker 2: So during the recruitment process, I always tell my guys like, listen,
- 52:45Speaker 2: I got the blueprint. Like all these kids they want
- 52:48Speaker 2: to make it to the NBA. And obviously all of
- 52:50Speaker 2: them are not going to make it to the NBA.
- 52:53Speaker 2: But if you come in and you put the time in,
- 52:56Speaker 2: you put the work in, it could happen. It could
- 52:59Speaker 2: definitely happen. I'm not going to say it can happen
- 53:02Speaker 2: because I mean, that's what people told you, That's what
- 53:05Speaker 2: people told me. So I'm not going to ever say
- 53:07Speaker 2: that to a kid like listen, you come in here,
- 53:09Speaker 2: you put the work in. With my connections, it can happen.
- 53:14Speaker 2: I know a lot of the scouts, a lot of
- 53:16Speaker 2: the gms, and they all asked me before the season, who,
- 53:20Speaker 2: in my confidence should they be looking at. So of course,
- 53:23Speaker 2: if I have a kid that's worthy of it, I'm
- 53:25Speaker 2: not going to just throw anybody out there. But if
- 53:27Speaker 2: I have a kid that's worthy of it. Definitely put
- 53:31Speaker 2: them in a position she didn't get get known. That's dope.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it.
- 53:39Speaker 4: On the road with them, it's a lot of work
- 53:40Speaker 4: practice on tour, like on the music tours.
- 53:46Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I'm just saying, you know, bags
- 53:49Speaker 3: bills playing bus.
- 53:51Speaker 2: We we we definitely try to keep them, you know,
- 53:55Speaker 2: in the hotel and I try to you know, have
- 54:00Speaker 2: them go outside. So we definitely have curfew on the road.
- 54:04Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the thing that we when I
- 54:07Speaker 2: recruited here, I make sure that they're a good character
- 54:12Speaker 2: because culture and the program is everything you have. You
- 54:15Speaker 2: got to have good culture. Oh you're not gonna win,
- 54:19Speaker 2: and so I try to create a good culture.
- 54:22Speaker 1: At for sure, the.
