- 8:34Speaker 1: Yeah, So it was cool, like I'd rather play my
- 8:37Speaker 1: homies and you know, trying not to get caught up
- 8:40Speaker 1: in that other ship.
- 8:41Speaker 2: And that was it.
- 8:42Speaker 1: And then by the time I was in high school,
- 8:43Speaker 1: we was beating all the good teams. So I was
- 8:45Speaker 1: super cool. We just ain't had the shoot ship, the
- 8:49Speaker 1: sponsorships and all that.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Ain't it crazy now?
- 8:51Speaker 1: Obviously it was about the college situation where you went
- 8:53Speaker 1: to man, you made your move saying what you state
- 8:56Speaker 1: with the n IL and stuff. Now, how you think
- 8:58Speaker 1: it would have been, especially the way I had that camp.
- 9:00Speaker 1: It's rocking when you was there. Yeah, we could have never.
- 9:02Speaker 1: We could have never had the teams that I had
- 9:04Speaker 1: with in I would have been gone off there. Yeah,
- 9:07Speaker 1: two one hundred thousand, I'm out, so I don't even
- 9:09Speaker 1: need too much. But it is money in Wichita and
- 9:14Speaker 1: the coach that we had, yeah, he would have got
- 9:16Speaker 1: the money out the community. But yeah, I mean it's
- 9:20Speaker 1: so much, bro. You eighteen nineteen, Like, that's just a
- 9:22Speaker 1: lot of money.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Bro.
- 9:23Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's really fucking up the
- 9:25Speaker 1: game in terms of like your mindset, because my whole
- 9:29Speaker 1: mindset was like I'm going to Wichitar. I'm kind of
- 9:31Speaker 1: out the way. I ain't really have like no college life,
- 9:36Speaker 1: the shit you see when you're growing up, like the
- 9:37Speaker 1: parties and all that, which you time have none of
- 9:39Speaker 1: that shit. You go to the bar and I was
- 9:42Speaker 1: in a laugh. I'm like, man, I'm trying to go
- 9:44Speaker 1: to the league. I'm gonna have no fun in the league.
- 9:46Speaker 1: So if we would have been getting paid back then
- 9:50Speaker 1: it would have been stupid. Yeah, you talk about that
- 9:52Speaker 1: all the time, Like you said, if I'm getting paid
- 9:54Speaker 1: one hundred bands, two hundred bands at eighteen, where's my
- 9:56Speaker 1: hunger at?
- 9:57Speaker 2: Because I already made it and most people it would
- 9:59Speaker 2: have been over from over It was all right, you've
- 10:03Speaker 2: seen me my rookie year. He was over man.
- 10:06Speaker 1: But it just I don't know, man, I think that
- 10:08Speaker 1: I'll come from the crib too though. It was cool.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll be cool with that little cheese.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Bro. Think about if you get in. Let's say you're
- 10:15Speaker 1: a top top player, you get a million your first year,
- 10:18Speaker 1: and somebody tell you can get this for the next
- 10:20Speaker 1: four years.
- 10:20Speaker 2: I'm not thinking about the NBA at all. Yeah, all
- 10:24Speaker 2: million dollars. If I'm the top motherfucker, I'm out of
- 10:26Speaker 2: there for sure.
- 10:27Speaker 1: But it's a lot of other players that, like I'm saying,
- 10:31Speaker 1: I'm just speaking for myself, Like I wasn't on these
- 10:34Speaker 1: draft never none of my four years, so it's like
- 10:38Speaker 1: I had to keep. But if I would have been
- 10:40Speaker 1: getting like a seven fifty or something, I would have
- 10:42Speaker 1: been like, like, you know what I'm saying, And Overhead
- 10:46Speaker 1: went to Miami, Nagel ranging up, start throwing parties, r
- 10:54Speaker 1: Alklahoma got another bang, right, I wouldn't been thinking nothing
- 10:58Speaker 1: about that would have brought a you know me, I'm
- 11:01Speaker 1: crap prob about Lambeau.
- 11:04Speaker 2: At no bills.
- 11:05Speaker 1: You had sent something to the crib follars. Make sure
- 11:08Speaker 1: mom and them straight and dad five bands a mom outside.
- 11:11Speaker 1: You're a teenager, still really real, real, Fred? I was live. Yeah,
- 11:15Speaker 1: I was burning maxwell that thing I'm saying. But if
- 11:19Speaker 1: I'm there, I still want to go to the league.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Did you have like aspirations to go to the league
- 11:23Speaker 1: or did you want to be the best college player
- 11:25Speaker 1: you want to Hell? No, I hated college. I wanted
- 11:28Speaker 1: to go to the league. My sad every day we
- 11:30Speaker 1: trying to get to the league. I just was crazy
- 11:32Speaker 1: enough to think I was going to go right away,
- 11:34Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I didn't even start my
- 11:35Speaker 1: freshman year, Like, I came off the bench till like
- 11:38Speaker 1: the once we went to the tournament, I started playing
- 11:41Speaker 1: more and more, and then my sophomore year we had
- 11:44Speaker 1: a real good team. We was number in the country
- 11:46Speaker 1: that year. Yeah, so that's when the scouts started coming
- 11:48Speaker 1: to practice and ship. Okay, I'm lit, but I had
- 11:52Speaker 1: a good miss ship. I set up with Sweden College.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to lead too fast. You know what
- 11:56Speaker 1: I'm saying. I was trying to get drafted. That was
- 11:58Speaker 1: my main thing. Like I thought I could work up
- 12:00Speaker 1: the draft boards, but that shit don't work like that. NA.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Like you said I had a whip, Well Clinstone was there, Yeah,
- 12:07Speaker 1: Ron Baker, Yeah, Ron Baker, I had a whip.
- 12:09Speaker 2: I had pros on that team. Yeah, we had a
- 12:11Speaker 2: good ass team, bro.
- 12:13Speaker 1: But I think I had a good coach too, And
- 12:15Speaker 1: I was just because, like we got a lot of
- 12:16Speaker 1: young guys on our team. Now, like a lot of
- 12:20Speaker 1: the kids that's come to the NBA now, they don't
- 12:21Speaker 1: know how to play, damn. So like I was just
- 12:24Speaker 1: happy that I had a good coach who taught me
- 12:26Speaker 1: how to play. So by the time I got to
- 12:28Speaker 1: the league, I kind of you know what I'm saying,
- 12:30Speaker 1: the transition was here. I had a good foundation to
- 12:33Speaker 1: go off of that helped me a lot. Yeah, you
- 12:35Speaker 1: always talking about that email. As a high schol coach,
- 12:37Speaker 1: like I'm having to teach stuff that we should learn
- 12:39Speaker 1: the elementary school now that kids they're not kids, but
- 12:41Speaker 1: should against the NBA and having to learn how to
- 12:43Speaker 1: pick a rolling ship. They learned their game backwards. Now
- 12:46Speaker 1: ship you do. You do all the difficult ship first.
- 12:49Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. By the time you get
- 12:51Speaker 1: you know, it's like a certain age, like if you
- 12:53Speaker 1: can't shoot by the time you eighteen, you probably cooked.
- 12:57Speaker 1: You know, you ain't so gifted that you can't deny it.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Damn If you can't shoot right now, you're kind of caught.
- 13:07Speaker 1: And it's the NBA. It's hard. It's hard to add it.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Ipecting the job boyout. If you can't shoot by eighteen
- 13:15Speaker 1: and you got to be six eight, I'm saying, so
- 13:18Speaker 1: you got to have something, got to jump off the screen.
- 13:20Speaker 1: I used to scout. We need to say, what's this superpower? Right?
- 13:24Speaker 1: So if your superpower is I can't find it when
- 13:27Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, ship you cook. I need to
- 13:29Speaker 1: come in the gym and be able to see your superpower.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Media like.
- 13:34Speaker 1: He can shoot you. Shooting the most important thing to
- 13:36Speaker 1: get somebody into the NBA right now? Yeah, I think,
- 13:39Speaker 1: so what what's what they're paying? Yeah? I think I
- 13:42Speaker 1: mean size, just being tall, just you know that's always
- 13:46Speaker 1: gonna win. Oh yeah, athleticism because that's what it is.
- 13:48Speaker 1: It's like you gotta be a freaking nature out there.
- 13:52Speaker 1: That's what everybody got to survive. But I mean shooting
- 13:55Speaker 1: is the separator to me, Like if you can shoot,
- 13:58Speaker 1: the better, the more better you can shoot, the better
- 14:00Speaker 1: your chance is gonna be. Because that's what they're paying
- 14:02Speaker 1: for right now, Stason and shooting, you know what I'm saying.
- 14:06Speaker 1: And so if you don't have that, you just have
- 14:08Speaker 1: more of a disadvantage. So your other ship gotta be
- 14:10Speaker 1: off the rule you never got to be a superior
- 14:12Speaker 1: athlete much better. Yeah, you gotta have a competitive nature too,
- 14:17Speaker 1: Like that's the one thing I always appreciated about your game,
- 14:19Speaker 1: even being a smaller guard, Like I wasn't a defender
- 14:22Speaker 1: at all, but you was actually known for your defense.
- 14:25Speaker 1: So when you came in the league, I was like,
- 14:27Speaker 1: it's my fucker really be guard. I was like laughing
- 14:29Speaker 1: at him, like a try hard as fuck, like I
- 14:34Speaker 1: don't know. And then he started scoring. Always been a
- 14:39Speaker 1: good shooter, but then he started to adding more and
- 14:41Speaker 1: more to his game, but he was known for defense.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Like when I watched you in the finals, guard and Steph,
- 14:45Speaker 1: yeah he really guarding stuff, Like he doing a good job.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Like what the fuck, man, you gotta be cool with that.
- 14:53Speaker 1: I knew niggas was laughing at me. I ain't you
- 14:56Speaker 1: know what, I just don't talk like I'm just from
- 14:59Speaker 1: me being in Houston. People just realize I'm not from Canada,
- 15:02Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, So like you don't know
- 15:04Speaker 1: I came.
- 15:04Speaker 2: I ain't had no VC, I ain't have no nothing
- 15:08Speaker 2: like got out the mud.
- 15:09Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But I'm out that bitch
- 15:10Speaker 1: picking up full court. I remember my rookie year. I
- 15:13Speaker 1: think I played in ok SEE or we played OKC
- 15:16Speaker 1: and I picked up Russ full court, and I remember
- 15:19Speaker 1: everybody's like, what the fuck you doing? Man? Like nobody
- 15:21Speaker 1: picked him up full court. I'm like, shit, I'm trying
- 15:24Speaker 1: to figure it out, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 15:26Speaker 1: I gotta find a way somehow fucked. So I was
- 15:28Speaker 1: willing to do whatever damn to make my way. So
- 15:31Speaker 1: now that was the way I got in. I was like,
- 15:33Speaker 1: all right, you gotta play d you gotta change the
- 15:36Speaker 1: game and change the temple. That was like the two
- 15:38Speaker 1: things that I tried to do, and then the offense
- 15:41Speaker 1: came later.
- 15:41Speaker 2: I was just.
- 15:42Speaker 1: About to ask you that, like we transition from college
- 15:44Speaker 1: to going to the NBA, what was that, like, bro Man,
- 15:48Speaker 1: it was cool. It was hard because I was trying
- 15:51Speaker 1: to make it like I was trying to find some security,
- 15:53Speaker 1: you know, from being undrafted, Yeah, not having a guaranteed contract.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I was just trying to get some security, like a
- 16:01Speaker 1: year or two then I could work on my game.
- 16:03Speaker 2: So that first part was tough.
- 16:05Speaker 1: And then once I realized, like I wasn't playing, I
- 16:08Speaker 1: was just enjoying it.
- 16:09Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, I'm in the league. I'm chilling.
- 16:12Speaker 2: I mean skittles on the bench, like I'm just watching
- 16:15Speaker 2: the show.
- 16:15Speaker 1: You know, That's how I go. And then like when
- 16:17Speaker 1: you don't have no chance of playing, you really just chilling,
- 16:20Speaker 1: traveling and you outside. Sure, so I did that, but
- 16:24Speaker 1: I worked on my game every day and I studied
- 16:27Speaker 1: every day, you know what I'm saying, And I just
- 16:29Speaker 1: stuck close to the vest that I had. And so
- 16:32Speaker 1: that was like that first initial transition. And then once
- 16:34Speaker 1: I started playing, then I built it a little bit,
- 16:37Speaker 1: you know more from there.
- 16:39Speaker 2: But at first I was just happy to be here.
- 16:40Speaker 1: I'm still happy to be here, but I was just
- 16:42Speaker 1: super happy to be in the league at that point. All. Yeah,
- 16:45Speaker 1: obviously a lot of respect how you got to the
- 16:47Speaker 1: NBA and came grinding and like major way in the situation,
- 16:50Speaker 1: very admirable. But it's funny. Now you went to the
- 16:52Speaker 1: G League and made the most of it and got
- 16:53Speaker 1: back in the league. Now you got people in the
- 16:54Speaker 1: G League trying to go back to college, like like, yeah,
- 16:58Speaker 1: I'm in the G League, fucking back to my school.
- 17:01Speaker 1: The times is wicked what I think about that, because
- 17:04Speaker 1: I don't know. I got a different couple of opinions
- 17:06Speaker 1: on that, because I feel like.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Ship saying, you gotta get back.
- 17:13Speaker 1: If I played in the NBA, if I guarded Fred
- 17:17Speaker 1: van Fleet and I played the whole season or two
- 17:20Speaker 1: in the NBA, NIGGA, I'm not going back to goddamn
- 17:22Speaker 1: at Boston University.
- 17:24Speaker 2: I'm not knowing that, Bro.
- 17:25Speaker 1: But if you're not getting I think it's been nobody
- 17:28Speaker 1: that did that. I think it's like it's bro, it's
- 17:31Speaker 1: to be people that small. I mean games and he
- 17:34Speaker 1: playing in the league. They said, That's what I'm saying, Like, Bro,
- 17:38Speaker 1: if you if you because they're young, right, That's what
- 17:40Speaker 1: I'm saying, they're young. Yeah, so if you young, and
- 17:42Speaker 1: just Ship, you jumped early and they ain't work out
- 17:45Speaker 1: for you. They getting paid anyway. All that college right,
- 17:50Speaker 1: you should have. It's just really the new G league,
- 17:53Speaker 1: the better league. It's a better G league. The only
- 17:56Speaker 1: thing I was gonna say was we let the the
- 18:01Speaker 1: European can come up whenever. Yeah, that's a fact. He
- 18:04Speaker 1: could sign with college. They can go pro. They can
- 18:06Speaker 1: do it. There's no restrictions on them. Let's see, I
- 18:09Speaker 1: ain't no band on European.
- 18:12Speaker 2: So they I'm not argue I'm saying. I'm saying.
- 18:16Speaker 1: But then, like the kid from Baylor got all the attention.
- 18:18Speaker 1: I don't know how many of us done it. Ye
- 18:20Speaker 1: seen the kid from Baylor, But.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Like, man, he ain't impacting the game, like you know
- 18:25Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Like if he was.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Coming like he was a National Player of the Year
- 18:28Speaker 1: and be like, all right, you're tripping still Bailey. If
- 18:32Speaker 1: he get to play college, he gonna have a run.
- 18:34Speaker 1: He gonna kill you know what I'm saying. But ship
- 18:38Speaker 1: they pros now, so you know the pros gotta play
- 18:40Speaker 1: against pro That's like Charles Dago when they played forty
- 18:43Speaker 1: yesterday and they start beating they was just like GE
- 18:45Speaker 1: league drop out. I'm like that's yeah. Now you go back,
- 18:48Speaker 1: you gotta kill. That's my problem. Got to kill if
- 18:50Speaker 1: you go back average ten.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Niggas putting pressure on down gotta go back.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Average twenty five. Don't make more money. Yeah, everybody CROs
- 19:06Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah. I never going to stop you anyway.
- 19:09Speaker 1: So he going back. He ain't never go but it's
- 19:11Speaker 1: your time. Old Sea coolb twenty with Brownie probably twenty three,
- 19:19Speaker 1: probably twenty three. Now that was the thing that will
- 19:21Speaker 1: to suck it up and brought it went back to
- 19:22Speaker 1: USC had been fired.
- 19:24Speaker 2: That's hard, but he bad. I think Brian and Brownie

- 21:22Speaker 1: I told hold on hold one of them digga. Nobody
- 21:25Speaker 1: say nothing about that. We were resparing to take the show.
- 21:33Speaker 1: See look after age is twenty three. That's hope we
- 21:35Speaker 1: hear we good money.
- 21:36Speaker 2: I just don't they all seen.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Just being pros and went back to play with the
- 21:40Speaker 1: young pro That's crazy because if I'm not going to,
- 21:43Speaker 1: if I'm not going and I don't have better years
- 21:45Speaker 1: to aj at the bassa or oh boy from Kansas
- 21:49Speaker 1: is quiet, bro.
- 21:50Speaker 2: I think that I think the real issue they're not
- 21:53Speaker 2: better than them.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Jeff probably know you coach in high school, So like
- 21:56Speaker 1: I think the high school kids get the short end. Yeah,
- 21:59Speaker 1: all the this ship because it's likely your coaches just
- 22:02Speaker 1: in the portal or they're going to get yes, bro
- 22:05Speaker 1: pro So like that. It's harder for a high school
- 22:07Speaker 1: kid to get recruited and come in and play. You
- 22:10Speaker 1: gotta be like stupid, nice, you gotta be McDonald's all
- 22:12Speaker 1: American now. Yeah, but like you said, you look right now,
- 22:14Speaker 1: and the best player of some of them at least,
- 22:16Speaker 1: and they say it right now, all freshman with show
- 22:18Speaker 1: and they putting them to automo niggas. But I like
- 22:20Speaker 1: it because like if you you know, a lot of
- 22:23Speaker 1: people want to go high major and they go there
- 22:25Speaker 1: and they don't play right away or get a chance,
- 22:27Speaker 1: so they might play junior senior year. Now you can
- 22:29Speaker 1: go to a lower level school D lower D one
- 22:32Speaker 1: be and major. If you're really good, you're gonna shine there.
- 22:35Speaker 2: I agree with you on that. I like that.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I'm saying, do you bring these motherfuckers back to the
- 22:40Speaker 1: to the college. Do they get drafted? Now it's quiet,
- 22:44Speaker 1: it's over.
- 22:47Speaker 2: You ain't going back back then.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Life. Y'all drafted twice. Make sure y'all trying to get
- 22:57Speaker 1: higher level for oversea. Hey, y'all remember this day. But
- 23:01Speaker 1: I went drafted twice. It's crazy. I wait for the
- 23:03Speaker 1: person to go back and really killed. I wait the
- 23:05Speaker 1: one twenty five go back to college and go to
- 23:06Speaker 1: the final fours. Bro, I want to see that. Yeah,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I do too, I do.
- 23:10Speaker 2: I think should be the same.
- 23:12Speaker 1: If we're gonna let Europeans do, or people from overseas
- 23:15Speaker 1: or form people like, let them come. Whatever they should
- 23:18Speaker 1: be able to do, we should be able to do.
- 23:20Speaker 1: And I think the NBA is going to step in
- 23:21Speaker 1: at some point and make it makes sense because like, ultimately,
- 23:25Speaker 1: the league would be better if those leagues are better.
- 23:29Speaker 1: If college and the G League is better, that's gonna
- 23:31Speaker 1: give us better players too. They'll step in at something.
- 23:34Speaker 1: League gonna have to step in because I would never
- 23:37Speaker 1: go to I wouldn't go straight to the G League.
- 23:41Speaker 1: You got, I would never go to college. I go
- 23:44Speaker 1: in to G League first and see if I can
- 23:45Speaker 1: make it to the league. I can't going to college.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, step on college campus first for what. Yeah,
- 23:51Speaker 1: I got a chance to go back, I go overseas.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I'll do all that stuff first. Damn, that's funny for sure, man,
- 23:58Speaker 1: that is crazy.
- 23:59Speaker 2: I'll go back.
- 24:00Speaker 1: It's a hell of a fallback player. But it just
- 24:02Speaker 1: looked crazy. Bro, Like we're talking about it. You've been
- 24:04Speaker 1: on campus with fucking nineteen year old Yeah, Bro, I
- 24:07Speaker 1: mean that's college. So I see why people will go though, Like, true,
- 24:13Speaker 1: it's pretty money. They need to open a straight out
- 24:15Speaker 1: of high school again though, because like yeah, because Darreon
- 24:19Speaker 1: Peters said he did the best.
- 24:20Speaker 2: That was pointless.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Bro. Yeah, big players, Yeah, it's pointless in college right now.
- 24:24Speaker 1: I know they're making a lot of money, but what
- 24:26Speaker 1: we're doing bro, yeah, they both of them is bro.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Yeah who we're black?
- 24:32Speaker 1: He did a year, come on bo, pointless years? Yeah, yeah,
- 24:36Speaker 1: that is crazy. Shout the stack house, stack house, I
- 24:39Speaker 1: got Jamal Mashburn. Bro. Cooper Flag would have been top
- 24:42Speaker 1: five this year as well. Bro, he said he was
- 24:45Speaker 1: this year he reclassed for a reason. I'm like, nah, bro, respect,
- 24:47Speaker 1: I know that the freshman's cold, but Cooper Flags just
- 24:49Speaker 1: didn't have fifty.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Bro said he wouldn't have been top up.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Yeah, he said he'd have been number sick. He put
- 24:54Speaker 1: the doctor Lamar on it. So I ain't mad at it.
- 24:56Speaker 1: I get just like his three month I'm rolling as well,
- 24:58Speaker 1: But Cooper flagging drop fifty. He nice if he was
- 25:03Speaker 1: at Duke with Gambos right down, Oh my god, yeah
- 25:05Speaker 1: he nice. He probably be the number two picks the age. Yeah, yeah,
- 25:12Speaker 1: he gonna be a step ahead.
- 25:13Speaker 2: And then he got a year on Now he nice.
- 25:15Speaker 2: I fuck with his game.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Back to you, bro, when you first got your real
- 25:18Speaker 1: footing in the league, how that feels? Man?
- 25:20Speaker 2: We got your shot?
- 25:21Speaker 1: Man? Uh, my first deal, My first deal was two years,
- 25:26Speaker 1: and I signed another two years. Yeah, and then so
- 25:28Speaker 1: it was like two years eighteen man, Man, that was it.
- 25:33Speaker 1: I was cool. I never looked back. I ain't going back,
- 25:36Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I played a little bit
- 25:38Speaker 1: like forty games my rookie year. I was like a
- 25:41Speaker 1: backup my second year and then I got a contract.
- 25:44Speaker 1: I'm like fuck. And then my third year we won
- 25:46Speaker 1: the chick Hell. Yeah, like shit, I'm lit, you know
- 25:48Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Twenty five got paid, made some money.
- 25:53Speaker 1: I was. I was like, I'm here because like, you
- 25:56Speaker 1: think you're good, you got confidence, you know you're good.
- 25:58Speaker 1: You play against your peers and shit like that, but
- 26:00Speaker 1: you're always waiting on us, Like, like I said, some security,
- 26:03Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, especially when you come in
- 26:05Speaker 1: and you see like a guy that's drafted lottery or
- 26:09Speaker 1: the first round, they get four five years to figure
- 26:11Speaker 1: it out.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
- 26:12Speaker 1: So you had time, Like my ship was like, you're
- 26:16Speaker 1: just waiting on the opportunity, you know what I mean,
- 26:18Speaker 1: gotting down no deals? No hell no. I mean I
- 26:25Speaker 1: always tell people like they're begetting that shit misconstrued, bro,
- 26:28Speaker 1: Like you only can operate with the deal that's on
- 26:31Speaker 1: the table. It's a fact what's on the table. So
- 26:34Speaker 1: you be turning down some ship that's on the table
- 26:36Speaker 1: for some ship that is imaginary. Yeah, So whatever the
- 26:39Speaker 1: best deal on the table is, That's what I'm going
- 26:43Speaker 1: every time. That's about right there right here.
- 26:46Speaker 2: I still like for gave Queen grown getting money. But QG,
- 26:51Speaker 2: what's the hell of again? I told cam Thomas said, though,
- 26:54Speaker 2: yeah on leave that change.
- 26:55Speaker 1: I like that money. Bro, you don't know what's gonna happen.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Part about the NBA is damn you dirty black if
- 27:03Speaker 1: you don't take it. Yeah, President still y'all you ain't
- 27:08Speaker 1: to say, yeah, it's just business. Yeah, I think even
- 27:11Speaker 1: more so the basketball just business? Like how can you
- 27:13Speaker 1: negotiate with some ship that you don't even have available
- 27:16Speaker 1: to you. Like, I know I'm worth more than that. Like,
- 27:19Speaker 1: all right, you work for they tell you what you're working. Yeah,
- 27:22Speaker 1: you work market willing to pay you. So then when
- 27:26Speaker 1: you don't, you're in the tunnel trying to smack people
- 27:28Speaker 1: the market. You gotta put hands the feet to people
- 27:31Speaker 1: that disrespect your paycheck. Did you do something crazy for
- 27:33Speaker 1: the first piece of change? Nah, I'll really be chilling.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I bought it roly. Yeah, that was like my first thing.
- 27:39Speaker 1: I bought it.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Really, I already bought my Mama crib.
- 27:41Speaker 1: When I on my first deal, I was making like
- 27:44Speaker 1: five hundred thousand my first year that my second is
- 27:47Speaker 1: nine hundred. So I bought my Mama crib. And then man,
- 27:50Speaker 1: we went to Vegas though, we definitely went to Vegas
- 27:52Speaker 1: at the game. Took all the guys in Vegas. We signed,
- 27:55Speaker 1: and then we flew with the with the management from
- 27:58Speaker 1: Toronto to Vegas for summerly and yeah, we had a time.
- 28:02Speaker 1: We had like a three four day trip. Yeah, fresh
- 28:05Speaker 1: after Fresh after bag about a roll lead. That was it, though,
- 28:10Speaker 1: I don't know, I just he's from a small town.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Yeah, different he had a fight for that spot. He
- 28:17Speaker 2: was like, I'm enjoying this, Bro, I'm happy I got it.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I'm not. I was like a regular person before I
- 28:21Speaker 1: was in the NBA, Like when I was in college,
- 28:23Speaker 1: I was lit, but like, Bro, I was, I was
- 28:26Speaker 1: a regular person, Like nobody know who I am. You
- 28:28Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I wasn't coming in I'm
- 28:30Speaker 1: just a superstar and everybody kissing my ass. Like I
- 28:32Speaker 1: had to grind for that ship. So that's it was
- 28:35Speaker 1: a little bit easier for me when I got the money.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Now I still fu some money up. Yeah for sure,
- 28:39Speaker 1: for sure what I'm saying, as we all do. But
- 28:42Speaker 1: I think like jury and ship like that cars. But well, no,
- 28:46Speaker 1: I worked too hard for mine for that. Like you said,
- 28:49Speaker 1: getting into rotation, You look at that squad of people
- 28:52Speaker 1: I had. Everybody, damn are still around, still thriving. All
- 28:56Speaker 1: Star Yeah yeah, he got squad.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Come on, bro, everybody became all.
- 29:02Speaker 1: And Pasy got his first All Star fish Peasy Yeah,
- 29:04Speaker 1: you know, my god, freaky pig, my god peace skills
- 29:08Speaker 1: for a time first ballot now being balance skills, I'm
- 29:13Speaker 1: fucking with it. I just think you know, pee skills,
- 29:15Speaker 1: you holler at me if you feel the way I
- 29:18Speaker 1: thought you had to be a winning team to make
- 29:20Speaker 1: the start game. No, I don't hate nobody all startized,
- 29:23Speaker 1: but it's the east Man. Anything goes in the East.
- 29:26Speaker 2: He's still living off the twenty fifteen snub of LaMelo ball.
- 29:29Speaker 1: That's what he all right now, well last year, yeah,
- 29:32Speaker 1: like LaMelo didn't make it, Bro and Peace Skills got in.

- 29:42Speaker 1: it comes down to it, now, when you get to
- 29:44Speaker 1: that point, you you're gonna pick somebody that's already been
- 29:47Speaker 1: in there open, somebody that's never been in Like I said,
- 29:50Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta have repeat years.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm defending my man obviously.
- 29:56Speaker 1: At the same time I think that dude, dude like you,
- 29:59Speaker 1: you u picked somebody that already been an All Star,
- 30:02Speaker 1: then you would pick somebody that's not all It don't
- 30:04Speaker 1: work like, oh he not an m v P. That
- 30:07Speaker 1: give to somebody that never had it before. They do
- 30:09Speaker 1: like doing that ship voter Fatigua is real MVP.
- 30:12Speaker 2: But I don't know this.
- 30:13Speaker 1: The coaches so I think you know the coaches play
- 30:16Speaker 1: for the reserves. That's that's what you need to be
- 30:18Speaker 1: talking to an international player though, Yeah, so you know
- 30:21Speaker 1: they got the international world World creg USA versus the world.
- 30:26Speaker 1: You ain't rolling.
- 30:27Speaker 2: I ain't mad that.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I don't want friend you feel me, he I don't
- 30:33Speaker 1: want to mantroll the too bush, but no ship. I
- 30:36Speaker 1: want to hear what you think. But because there's too
- 30:42Speaker 1: many rules to make the All Star teake, I swore
- 30:46Speaker 1: to God the needle moves every year. But trash bro
- 30:52Speaker 1: kills is a killer.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Oh god he can.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Oh my mama, you shouldn't be no all war. So
- 30:57Speaker 1: you like Team Horrible Bro?
- 30:59Speaker 2: Like MPJ over him? Yes, Yes, I left my track.
- 31:04Speaker 1: I left my fuck that six seven. I left my
- 31:07Speaker 1: trash ass team that didn't fuck with me. Yeah, and
- 31:10Speaker 1: I'm over here killing now, Bro. No, I'm killing. I
- 31:14Speaker 1: got my own team, like, I left a championship team.
- 31:17Speaker 1: My fault, not trash ass a championship team. Now I'm
- 31:20Speaker 1: the man, I'm average twenty five. No, he's very deserving.
- 31:24Speaker 1: I think I'm never taking him over Pascal anything basketball related. No,
- 31:32Speaker 1: y'all real basketball players though, Bro, But All Star game
- 31:35Speaker 1: Nigga though that between his legs, that's the other thing.
- 31:37Speaker 1: That's the other thing too. That'd be My argument is,
- 31:40Speaker 1: like I think those lists should be different lists. Who's
- 31:43Speaker 1: gonna put the best All Star Game on? Yeah? All
- 31:46Speaker 1: Star Game should always have a Trey Young, a Lamello Kyrie. Yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 1: that's exciting, but we're talking about just like the best
- 31:54Speaker 1: players or like the best season. I'm not taking him
- 31:57Speaker 1: over pastcal Bro. I respect you. Nah if we if
- 32:00Speaker 1: we're doing the draft, don't God give me pass every
- 32:04Speaker 1: time I'm talking about for the excitement of this game,
- 32:08Speaker 1: like respect Bro, we need thirty and to see Lamello
- 32:13Speaker 1: and Ascal. It's always Bro. He's African too, so you
- 32:20Speaker 1: know on the world ship. Yeah, but it's always that's
- 32:24Speaker 1: deserving to be All Stars that don't make it every year.
- 32:26Speaker 1: In fact, it's gonna be a snub every year. Be out.
- 32:29Speaker 1: You just don't want it to be. Yeah, but I
- 32:31Speaker 1: deserve to be in there. That's a factor year because
- 32:33Speaker 1: they castulated in there this year New York. Yeah, that
- 32:37Speaker 1: is crazy, respectfully, I mean it's costing the towns. But
- 32:39Speaker 1: All Star year, I'm sleeve. But he really his numbers
- 32:46Speaker 1: like his numbers still say, say he's playing like a
- 32:52Speaker 1: what's what's kind of numbers two and thirteen? That's gonna
- 32:56Speaker 1: be respectable? Because for sure, what top for the All
- 33:00Speaker 1: Star playing like an All Star? Bro? We just expected
- 33:03Speaker 1: to play like twenty and eleven? All right, eleven, twenty twelve,
- 33:06Speaker 1: I'm round up. I got around that I'm respected twenty twelve,
- 33:09Speaker 1: killer Bro, all.
- 33:10Speaker 2: These niggas, I just be.
- 33:11Speaker 1: I just a bad year for CAS, that's all. I'm
- 33:13Speaker 1: gonna join B numbers I know. I know a't gonna
- 33:16Speaker 1: ever qualify because a different look for the league because
- 33:19Speaker 1: people are pulled away from it.
- 33:21Speaker 2: So what right?
- 33:22Speaker 1: So now, because I'm in the seat now and I'm
- 33:24Speaker 1: in the conversation, what would y'all change?
- 33:26Speaker 2: Go back to the regular jerseys? Now that I talk
- 33:29Speaker 2: all out? And B I know he'll play that much,
- 33:32Speaker 2: but twenty seven fucking crazy balling? Now that I'm talking
- 33:35Speaker 2: to the morotherfucker president, get this off, my goddamn.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Let's get it. Listen. I don't get right all these
- 33:44Speaker 1: goddamn I get it, bro, the foreigners, they run the league,
- 33:48Speaker 1: top players, I get it, But all these people playing
- 33:51Speaker 1: these the American play the foreigner and then you got
- 33:56Speaker 1: them play the G League niggas. Then you play the
- 33:59Speaker 1: American team, then the winners out of that play each other,
- 34:02Speaker 1: then the first to twelve. Like all this bullshit, bro
- 34:06Speaker 1: go back to when it was a regular nigga match ups,
- 34:09Speaker 1: like yeah, the best twelve versus the best twelve, no
- 34:12Speaker 1: matter where you're from, you like East West or yeah
- 34:15Speaker 1: East West or just blended. We just want to see
- 34:17Speaker 1: the All Star Game be a regular NBA game again.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Bro with you, I'll be having these same conversations. But
- 34:23Speaker 1: I think I think the fans got more more input
- 34:28Speaker 1: than they think they got because Adam, ultimately the league
- 34:32Speaker 1: is listening to what the fans want, what they want
- 34:34Speaker 1: to see.
- 34:35Speaker 2: He don't have like a.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Bias either way, you know what I'm saying. But we
- 34:39Speaker 1: do gotta fix this shit. We gotta address it, you
- 34:42Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I think my thing was I
- 34:45Speaker 1: said the jersey. It was a simple thing, like I
- 34:46Speaker 1: come on back to like the jersey's Nike used to
- 34:49Speaker 1: do the shoes everybody had, like s Pacific shoe. And
- 34:52Speaker 1: I think you just get the best twenty four, the
- 34:55Speaker 1: top twenty four, and you're out of way to separate
- 34:57Speaker 1: the All star from the NBA.
- 34:59Speaker 2: Shit, you know what I'm saying, because it's like two
- 35:01Speaker 2: different things. I'm Roland.
- 35:02Speaker 1: I might want to be an All Star just for
- 35:04Speaker 1: my contractor for my purposes on some Jimmy Butler ship,
- 35:07Speaker 1: but I might not even actually want to play fact,
- 35:10Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Or I'm hurt.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Yeah, but then you're taking away from somebody else that
- 35:14Speaker 1: could get in there too. So no, I'm with you.
- 35:17Speaker 2: But NBC Olympics coming up, you know, that's where the
- 35:21Speaker 2: world should come from.
- 35:22Speaker 1: And the.
- 35:25Speaker 2: European stuff, I'm certain years old has played in America. Man,
- 35:30Speaker 2: damn man, take that.

- 35:53Speaker 1: will talk to a couple of young guys this year
- 35:55Speaker 1: that said they're gonna they're gonna go put on the show.
- 35:57Speaker 2: So I'm hoping. I ain't gonna say who it is,
- 35:59Speaker 2: but he said, he said, I don't know everybody playing hard,
- 36:01Speaker 2: but I am. I'm hoping that I'm young. The young
- 36:04Speaker 2: next guys.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Once the old guys get out the way, the young
- 36:08Speaker 1: next guys can't bring that back because like the old
- 36:11Speaker 1: I mean, but Bro twenty two years in the road,
- 36:13Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, and he put on
- 36:15Speaker 1: the show every year, but it's just hard like for
- 36:18Speaker 1: them to fly somewhere and then put them in these
- 36:21Speaker 1: bullshit cities. You know, I want to see you go ahead, Shae, Yeah,

- 38:12Speaker 1: or you didn't even got to be the best players.
- 38:13Speaker 1: It could be a medium tier guy. I look at

- 46:32Speaker 1: advantage in the World Series, and that'd be crazy in
- 46:33Speaker 1: the NBA if that happened, because a lot of people
- 46:35Speaker 1: be pissed off. I think this year is gonna be better, man.
- 46:38Speaker 1: I'm hopeful because it's l A. Yeah, you know what
- 46:40Speaker 1: I'm saying. We got a good mix, It's NBC. I
- 46:43Speaker 1: hope this year is better. And I'm not going off
- 46:45Speaker 1: for ratings. I'm not going off none of that ship.
- 46:47Speaker 1: I'm just going off all I care about the vibe
- 46:50Speaker 1: in the game. Yeah, I don't even care about Saturday.
- 46:53Speaker 1: I want the All Star Game to the people watch
- 46:56Speaker 1: like they hooping, you know what I'm saying. And I
- 46:59Speaker 1: think it will be like you said, concentrate efforts. Everybody
- 47:01Speaker 1: talking about it for years now. Even the player has
- 47:02Speaker 1: been more vocal, So I think it'll be dope for sure.
- 47:04Speaker 1: What was that like for you though?
- 47:05Speaker 2: Making an All Star team? Hearing your name club?
- 47:07Speaker 1: But she was unbelievable, bro, Like, I still can't believe it,
- 47:10Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'll be laughing you I'll
- 47:12Speaker 1: be talking about the one time All Star shit. But
- 47:14Speaker 1: like like I was cool, you know what I mean,
- 47:17Speaker 1: Like it just came to the point where, you know,
- 47:21Speaker 1: my whole story up until that point, Like I thought
- 47:23Speaker 1: I could do it because the year before I was
- 47:25Speaker 1: like nineteen or something or eighteen and I was twenty
- 47:28Speaker 1: some shit like that, something in that range. And before
- 47:32Speaker 1: the season, Nick Nurse was like, man, we might need
- 47:34Speaker 1: you to score twenty four to twenty five nights. I'm like,
- 47:37Speaker 1: oh shit, I never had nobody tell me nothing like that.
- 47:39Speaker 1: I always gave like a play defense, get guys the ball.
- 47:42Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, they see it. So I'm whooping
- 47:44Speaker 1: that year. You know what I'm saying. I'm like first
- 47:46Speaker 1: option type shit. Pascal was hurt, but it was dope
- 47:51Speaker 1: to come all the way down to that point. And
- 47:53Speaker 1: then only what.
- 47:54Speaker 2: Fucked it up was I got hurt.
- 47:57Speaker 1: I hit my knee on the floor like a week
- 48:00Speaker 1: or two weeks before Austin, but I ain't tell nobody
- 48:03Speaker 1: because I didn't want to give them on spot at
- 48:05Speaker 1: the game. So I was limping around the whole weekend.
- 48:07Speaker 1: So that part kind of ruined, and it was Cleveland.
- 48:10Speaker 1: It was ass, it was cold. It was just I
- 48:13Speaker 1: didn't have a good experience like making it to the
- 48:15Speaker 1: All Star Game and being in the locker room. And
- 48:17Speaker 1: it was the NBA seventy five that year when they
- 48:22Speaker 1: need to legends back. So like it was all of
- 48:24Speaker 1: us and all of them, Like that's something that's something
- 48:27Speaker 1: that I'll never forget. I couldn't never imagined nothing like that.
- 48:30Speaker 1: You know, you was there because we had different people
- 48:33Speaker 1: tell us about like when they said Michael Jordan name
- 48:36Speaker 1: compared to everybody else, what was it like? So it's
- 48:39Speaker 1: exactly what they said, because you gotta think I mean
- 48:42Speaker 1: you so like you got like the rehearsal. So, like
- 48:46Speaker 1: I said, we was upstairs, were taking pictures and I
- 48:48Speaker 1: was kind of like just chilling off to the side,
- 48:50Speaker 1: like behind was watching everybody. I'm looking at Ai, I'm
- 48:53Speaker 1: looking at everybody, and everybody's in there, everybody except for Mic.
- 48:58Speaker 1: So like you know, the chatter started, you know, like
- 49:00Speaker 1: oh Mike ain't coming, heren't fuck with us, or he
- 49:02Speaker 1: don't fuck with them. You know, they got the old
- 49:05Speaker 1: they got going on. So all the way down to
- 49:11Speaker 1: they doing the intros, they walking out, you know, what
- 49:14Speaker 1: I'm saying, nobody ain't seen them, so he nobody didn't
- 49:18Speaker 1: see him until they called his name, that's crazy, until
- 49:20Speaker 1: he was walking out, right, But he was tuk out,
- 49:22Speaker 1: So it was like the seventy five was going crazy.
- 49:26Speaker 1: The guys on the court was going crazy first, So
- 49:29Speaker 1: then when they called him out, it was like he
- 49:31Speaker 1: was like the last one, you know what I'm saying.
- 49:33Speaker 1: So yeah, and he different in that world. He different.
- 49:37Speaker 1: That's what showed for me because like, you know what
- 49:41Speaker 1: the fans think or you know what I'm saying, media
- 49:43Speaker 1: or whatever, but like for your peers, guys, that's older
- 49:47Speaker 1: you guys, that's younger than you guys you played against,
- 49:49Speaker 1: so respect him to be the guy in that setting
- 49:53Speaker 1: right there. I was like, damn, okay, that's different. That's
- 49:56Speaker 1: what they be talking Yeah, he number one that make
- 49:59Speaker 1: you look at somebody. Yeah, that's what they be talking
- 50:01Speaker 1: about when they like, ain't nobody fucking with Mike. I've
- 50:04Speaker 1: seen it in real life. You know what I'm saying.
- 50:06Speaker 2: For sure, he's automatic.
- 50:08Speaker 1: Was at LA somewhere right there. That's what I need
- 50:09Speaker 1: to do All Star weekend. Isaiah Thomas brother that lining
- 50:13Speaker 1: up the first one if we want MJ. Isaiah Thomas,
- 50:15Speaker 1: I ain't a lot of z ain't going. They're gonna
- 50:17Speaker 1: be banging.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Man's gonna fight. They still reacting to this day. They're
- 50:24Speaker 2: gonna be banging. What was that moment?
- 50:26Speaker 1: Like, obviously you was in Toronto, you had the corner
- 50:29Speaker 1: stocks of the franchise with Kyle and tomorrow that trade happening.
- 50:33Speaker 2: What was your first reaction to that that?
- 50:35Speaker 1: It was crazy? It was like, man, that was like
- 50:39Speaker 1: my welcome to the business moment, you know what I'm saying.
- 50:41Speaker 1: It was like, obviously you have. Everybody had they welcome
- 50:43Speaker 1: to the NBA. But that was the first thing. It
- 50:45Speaker 1: was like, Oh, this shit ain't no game. It's not au,
- 50:47Speaker 1: it's not college like because I was with Damar in
- 50:51Speaker 1: Vegas and this when the rumors started coming out, and
- 50:54Speaker 1: so basically the rumors started coming out and then they
- 50:58Speaker 1: was like, nah, it ain't true. True Like I seen
- 51:03Speaker 1: him in my sade talking, I'm not you know, whatever
- 51:05Speaker 1: they talked about they talked about, but like from seeing
- 51:08Speaker 1: them talking that summer league. So we had a like
- 51:11Speaker 1: a team dinner. Some teams do team dinners that summer league.
- 51:15Speaker 1: They bring him up because he had made All NBA
- 51:19Speaker 1: the year before. They bring him up in front of
- 51:21Speaker 1: the whole team, like, hey, tomorrow, you know what I'm saying,
- 51:25Speaker 1: All NBA whatever it was, I forgot the specific award.
- 51:28Speaker 1: They like, yeah, next year, tomorrow he gonna be playing
- 51:32Speaker 1: defense and he gonna take another step and we're gonna
- 51:35Speaker 1: come back. And then it was like a couple of
- 51:38Speaker 1: days later the trade. I'm like, dango, crazy, crazy game
- 51:43Speaker 1: bro wow, So imagine you know what I'm saying, just
- 51:46Speaker 1: knowing him and how he felt he got his own
- 51:48Speaker 1: you know, story of how it went. But from my position,
- 51:51Speaker 1: I was just like damn. And then the flip side
- 51:54Speaker 1: was the first report was that Kawhi didn't want to come.
- 51:59Speaker 1: That made it even work. It was like we traded
- 52:01Speaker 1: our man for somebody that don't even want to be here.
- 52:04Speaker 1: This was the narrative at the time, but all that
- 52:07Speaker 1: ship had worked out. Kaui is the OG definitely did
- 52:11Speaker 1: be here. He's OLG to DPU.
- 52:13Speaker 2: I want to show that's the reason why I made
- 52:15Speaker 2: it up.
- 52:16Speaker 1: And then at that point I hadn't played against Kawhi,
- 52:19Speaker 1: I think, but one time that was my first two years,
- 52:21Speaker 1: because he was hurt so I only played again, I
- 52:24Speaker 1: didn't see him. We didn't need to.
- 52:28Speaker 2: Here.
- 52:30Speaker 1: I ain't know what he was getting because he was
- 52:31Speaker 1: going through the injury thing at the time. Like I
- 52:33Speaker 1: ain't know what he was getting. I'm just like, man,
- 52:35Speaker 1: damn tomorrow is my brother, like to the de Bosn,
- 52:39Speaker 1: like that's my dude.
- 52:40Speaker 2: So I was fucked up about that.
- 52:42Speaker 1: And then Kawhi came and we was in training camp
- 52:45Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, I get it, I get it.
- 52:48Speaker 1: I know why they did it. You know what I'm saying. Business,
- 52:53Speaker 1: it was tough hearing you talk about your potff, but
- 52:55Speaker 1: just what he was just like I don't know why
- 52:56Speaker 1: he traded for me, but fucking I'm here. Yeah, and
- 52:59Speaker 1: like that was just the move because you got to
- 53:03Speaker 1: think he really only talked to Kyle and maybe like Serge,
- 53:07Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying here and there, But like
- 53:08Speaker 1: he's not like a big energy guy.
- 53:10Speaker 2: Clearly we see he cool though in real life he's way.
- 53:14Speaker 1: More than what he do to the media. But like
- 53:16Speaker 1: if he come in the room and everybody in there,
- 53:18Speaker 1: he's not gonna just be the class clown in the room.
- 53:20Speaker 1: So I ain't really had that many conversations with him.
- 53:23Speaker 1: But his whole thing was just like ship. I told
- 53:25Speaker 1: y'all before y'all traded for me, like I ain't doing man,
- 53:30Speaker 1: But that makes it even more impressive to me because
- 53:33Speaker 1: like he still came and did what he was supposed
- 53:35Speaker 1: to do. He the first first ANA player to get
- 53:39Speaker 1: a want to done situation like, yeah, I got your ring, all.
- 53:42Speaker 2: Right, cool. I can't believe I wouldn't left. I don't
- 53:45Speaker 2: know how he left, bro. It's him, Yeah, the only
- 53:49Speaker 2: person in the history of the world that would have
- 53:51Speaker 2: did that. Only yeah, I too. He got to work
- 53:55Speaker 2: from home for the Clippers. You see what he was on.
- 53:56Speaker 1: He's like you had to be there, bro, talking about
- 54:05Speaker 1: have a whole country, Bro, like bound down, like a
- 54:08Speaker 1: whole country.
- 54:09Speaker 2: They said, we'll give you free rent what you need.
- 54:11Speaker 2: I wasn't throw one of that championship because I don't
- 54:14Speaker 2: do that. I can see it load, Oh do do it.
- 54:18Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about the Milwaukee Bucks nothing.
- 54:21Speaker 1: You don't matter. Wonder about that, brother, You were not
- 54:25Speaker 1: the only I don't respect. Before we get before we
- 54:33Speaker 1: get to the ship, y'all reaction with QUI hit that
- 54:36Speaker 1: shot to get over the sixers.
- 54:37Speaker 2: That was crazy.
- 54:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I was jumping around like a little kid because
- 54:40Speaker 1: you think I had a terrible series, worst basketball of
- 54:43Speaker 1: my life, saying I was just happy we was getting
- 54:45Speaker 1: more gang. You know what I'm saying, Like, I ain't
- 54:47Speaker 1: want to go out like that. My whole probably wouldn't
- 54:49Speaker 1: even be sitting here. The whole rest of my career
- 54:51Speaker 1: would have been different if am we lose that Game
- 54:53Speaker 1: seven because I didn't get hot till after that. Yeah,
- 54:56Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
- 54:57Speaker 2: I was shipped.
- 54:57Speaker 1: I was shipped up until that point. So to see,
- 55:00Speaker 1: like you know, I'm on the bench, it was in
- 55:02Speaker 1: front of our bench to see I'm like, damn, I'm
- 55:05Speaker 1: talking about We always just happy to get out of
- 55:07Speaker 1: that series that they Philly gave us a hell of
- 55:09Speaker 1: a series. That was a tough team. I know it's
- 55:11Speaker 1: different times when we talked about it. That was the
- 55:13Speaker 1: being same as that we all grew to love that
- 55:15Speaker 1: Ben Simons was cold and b too. They had a
- 55:18Speaker 1: with Yeah, he was different, Ji, Jimmy j It was
- 55:24Speaker 1: a big ass team. I think James Ands was on
- 55:26Speaker 1: that team squad. Yeah, that was a good team. Was
- 55:30Speaker 1: that deal bro? He special?
- 55:32Speaker 2: That's the best.
- 55:33Speaker 1: That's the best ship I ever seen, like in person,
- 55:35Speaker 1: Like watching him not k in the playoffs, I ain't
- 55:39Speaker 1: seen the playoffs is different. You know what I'm saying.
- 55:42Speaker 1: KD changed the way I view everything this year because
- 55:45Speaker 1: it's just like it's so easy for him.
- 55:47Speaker 2: Yeah, just he really be chilling, like he don't like
- 55:52Speaker 2: do too much.
- 55:53Speaker 1: He just wait. He can go a couple of minutes
- 55:55Speaker 1: without touching the ball. He won't say nothing, gonna stand
- 55:57Speaker 1: in the corner. He ain't a thirsty who nah. And
- 56:01Speaker 1: then he he just don't miss, like he don't miss.
- 56:05Speaker 1: You think makes it look easier him or se Kady?
- 56:09Speaker 1: I think so, Yeah, Shade ship looks so easy, Like
- 56:12Speaker 1: when I watch him play basketball, Yo, he's not eating
- 56:15Speaker 1: sweating brok. Yeah. I think I'm only saying from the standpoint.
- 56:18Speaker 1: Shady's seven ft tall, so like watching him shoot a
- 56:22Speaker 1: MIDI over Wimby. He don't see Wimby. That's crazy, you
- 56:27Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He don't see bodies, he don't
- 56:28Speaker 1: see the help, he don't see the third guy. He
- 56:31Speaker 1: don't touch the rim. Shaye is special though. That's kind
- 56:34Speaker 1: of how I feel about Shadeough Like you know, I
- 56:35Speaker 1: watch him, I feel like he don't see nobody.
- 56:37Speaker 2: He get to that MIDI step back. Yeah, look like
- 56:40Speaker 2: the bickele. He working out, but he's doing the workout. Yeah,
- 56:43Speaker 2: he's doing the work.
- 56:45Speaker 1: Was sixty percent almost yeah, yeah hard, that's just insane.
- 56:49Speaker 1: And he just thirty Saturn So it's like yeah, and
- 56:53Speaker 1: it's still looks crazy. He's still the greatest score I
- 56:55Speaker 1: ever say that. What it's like, you just can't bother him,
- 56:59Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, you can't. You can't
- 57:01Speaker 1: make them do nothing you don't want to do. And
- 57:03Speaker 1: it's just every day. So you see KD in the
- 57:06Speaker 1: finals though, what was that like? Actually making it to
- 57:09Speaker 1: the finals, and it was like playing in the moment
- 57:10Speaker 1: You played to get some of the greats too in
- 57:12Speaker 1: that situation and you got your shut off as well. Yeah.
- 57:14Speaker 2: No, it was a blessing. It was an opportunity.
- 57:16Speaker 1: That's all you want, just like have an opportunity to
- 57:19Speaker 1: be there and still our heartest series with the Philly Series,
- 57:22Speaker 1: we went to Milwaukee, Milwaukee went down two and then
- 57:25Speaker 1: we beat them four times in the row light work
- 57:27Speaker 1: and then we go finals. KD was hurt, so we
- 57:30Speaker 1: win game one easy. Like I remember walking out, like, man,
- 57:34Speaker 1: we weren't celebrating or nothing. We was walking out. We
- 57:36Speaker 1: went in the locker room. I'm just like, damn this
- 57:38Speaker 1: shit sweet, you know what I'm saying. Because they was
- 57:41Speaker 1: built to be with KD. Without KD, we felt good.
- 57:46Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean shit, Steph Clay like to be
- 57:49Speaker 1: chasing stuff around. Were playing Boxing one and Ship in
- 57:51Speaker 1: the NBA finals and I'm the one. You're the ones
- 57:55Speaker 1: chasing them around like man was. It was just a
- 57:58Speaker 1: credible opportunity and you know, being able to make the
- 58:01Speaker 1: most of that Ship was special.
- 58:03Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to get a ring and gets some
- 58:04Speaker 2: of the greats too. That's fire.
- 58:06Speaker 1: Yeah. And I like I always tell people because they
- 58:08Speaker 1: was like when you go to stuff so good, I'm like, bro,
- 58:10Speaker 1: I'm playing the man in box and he still had
- 58:12Speaker 1: fifty in the finals, like he gave me fifty. Like,
- 58:15Speaker 1: and I was in the Boxing one and we was
- 58:16Speaker 1: trapping him every time and he was out there by hisself.
- 58:19Speaker 1: Oh god, you know what I'm saying, Like he said, Guard,
- 58:24Speaker 1: it's different. Kyrie is different from me, Yeah, because he
- 58:28Speaker 1: like Kyrie don't run no plays.
- 58:32Speaker 2: He's no like welcome to this island. Yeah, he's not
- 58:35Speaker 2: passing it.
- 58:37Speaker 1: He might dribble it twenty seven times, ugly, Like I
- 58:40Speaker 1: always after the game, like I need to see the
- 58:43Speaker 1: chiropractor and ship like you know what I'm saying, stop,
- 58:46Speaker 1: go boom, push off like he I love playing against Kyrie.
- 58:50Speaker 1: He the most challenging for me. Steph is just like
- 58:54Speaker 1: you need you need to hold full team because hes
- 58:56Speaker 1: running off of all the screeners and you can't fall asleep.
- 58:59Speaker 1: You can't. That's why I hated guards, Yeah, because I
- 59:01Speaker 1: like people will go one on one. I know where
- 59:03Speaker 1: you're gonna be at. Yeah, when you start running around,
- 59:06Speaker 1: I'm good, it's gone. I lost him one time, I
- 59:10Speaker 1: think in the finals. The whole time I was I
- 59:12Speaker 1: lost him one time he got a wide open three.
- 59:15Speaker 1: Every other time was on him. I just looked like
- 59:17Speaker 1: he was on the other side of the court. I'm like,
- 59:21Speaker 1: you can't even prepare for those like that. But like,
- 59:23Speaker 1: like I tell everybody the toughest person to guard with
- 59:25Speaker 1: de Rose like you feel about Kyrie. Yeah, yeah, you
- 59:28Speaker 1: knew where de Rose was gonna be at and he
- 59:31Speaker 1: wasn't doing fifty moves and it was no jumpers. It's
- 59:35Speaker 1: like straight ye rim like, yeah, he's one of my
- 59:39Speaker 1: favorite shout out to do, bro, legend do the.
- 59:41Speaker 2: Easiest to go.
- 59:44Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I am, but I ain't gonna lie to be.
- 59:49Speaker 1: I feel good out there, bro, Like now you be
- 59:51Speaker 1: cooking the guy, the guys that that that y'all love
- 59:53Speaker 1: the guys everybody love.
- 59:54Speaker 2: I feel good against me off, Bro.
- 59:58Speaker 1: My thing always came down to, like how play I
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: wish I would have played more like how I play
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: a pick.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: Up in the NBA, But the way I had to
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: come in, I had to like go roll by roll
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: by role.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I always prioritize winning over
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: like my own ship. Yeah what I'm saying so, and
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: I can't right what I'm six feet you know, unathletic.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: I can't do that ship every night, but I could
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: make it dynamic to me though, Yeah, like you're not
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: like super athletic, but you create space and you get
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: to where you want to go.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: And you're only six ft. You strong than the motherfucker.
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: Yeah he's strong, but.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: My boy runs like howay Like in the summertime, Shi,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: it is just different. But when it's time to like
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: match up against the top guards, is like that's what
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: I like to do.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: That's why. And I like your guard them too.
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: We know you hurt now, but that's why we was
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Like I was so high on your team before you
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: got hurt, because I believe in your competitive spirit. Like
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: last year.
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: You stright.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: Yeah you did say that on God. But when y'all
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: got kidd like, that's what for you? That shit fucked
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: me up. That was more so like obviously I was
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: fucked up that I got hurt, but like just the opportunity. Yeah,
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: I'm saying the season. He havn't the season. We haven't.
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: They missing this ship out of you know, I just
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: know what i'd be.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Doing, you know what I mean. And then once you
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: get to the end of the season, it's like you
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: want to rise to the to the level too, so
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: you have all year. Yeah, I mean I'm pushing, but
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: six months is crazy, Like nobody really come back in
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: six months. But I mean that's a lot to ask,
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'm not ruling it out.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: Let's get back by playoffs, bro, I'm not that would
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: be insane. It would be insane. I'm not even keep
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: playing with people. I'm coming.
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: But like it would be crazy, but I'm not.
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: Ruling it out.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: I'm saying that on the Morning show every day.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: How many times you've probably been traded on the Morning show.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: I been to trade Ruber. I know that's probably knowing hell,
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: especially around the.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: Right and trade y'all specifically.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: Just coming.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: I never sent him the sack. I never traded.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: I'm always l a. I don't want to talk about
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: the Rocks so much right here, but I never traded
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: you because I think got away for you to get healthy. Yeah,
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: but if you were going to try get rid of
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: some of the bigs though and bring in somebody to
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: feel the void at the time.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: They got your red Shepherdeine take alumni baby.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: Read we ain't gonna talk too much about that eighteen. Yeah.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: I like read.
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: They've been called the cocaine curry.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to stop.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: Clay was just like, hey, respect this stuff. It should
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: never be Clay was nothing.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: I wasn't startin like Clay was disgusted by this. She
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: was like, what I hate when they do ship like that. Man,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: it's bad they did it this in going with Joker, Like,
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: it's just it's just.
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: I've seen that argument, y'all.
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Had the other day all the same the same building,
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: just some building. Yeah, let's get the same the same building.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Because he said, no, I'm not doing that. Wasn't it
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: was a city though, Yeah, he said, I said, they're
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: in the same building. He said, they're not in the
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: same city.
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: Man, I ain't your old.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: I think that we're doing both of them at this
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: service by comparing them.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: There we go for it.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: That's what I say. Two all stars, two killers. He
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: is so he is media trained. Yeah, I think that.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: I think we both of them pirates. And I told her,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: listen after is my dog, like I talked to him.
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: He talked to him like like we talked, you know
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: what I tell him to his face, Like when they
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: came with that Joker shop, I said, stop doing that
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: ship for real, like doing that because first of all,
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: you want your own name god. Second of all, y'all
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: really don't play nothing alike outside of the the the
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: flashy ship. You know what I'm saying. He coming from
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: the top of the key like and he on some ship.
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: But like, come on, bro, I just think joker it's crazy.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: But jo one of the best, come on this ship.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Freaking bread comes saying, he said, something different, though, I'm
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: saying as far I said, they.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Are nowhere near similar. They not besides other bullshit passing probably,
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: I'm talking about the quality dominate the gap. I think
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: what you what you finished with was like I think
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: the ranking.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's y'all having a y'all having
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: a different conversation. I think if you ranking the top
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: bigs in the NBA, he belongs in that conversation.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: That's a fact.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: I just think the gap between one and two may
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: be bigger than the gap between two, three, four and five.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Like he is like Joker is like a like an
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: all time great, already four big, he can sit down,
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: sare I don't want play basketball no more.
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: Better than everybody with Grew White played him.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: So I played him most times where he's had thirty
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: forty point triple doubles and the ball doesn't touch the
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: rim and this is this is three mini float lay
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: up free throw he like multiple times, Yeah the ball
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: don't touch the rim, bro, I give it.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: I am he all time great shade young boy, the
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: young boy just on the rise. I'm just saying, like
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: he got to be a really good place been buses
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: as a couple of times. That's the fact.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: So that's the beautiful thing about the game. Like you
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: still got lace up. You know what I'm saying. But
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: I would I would never compare them.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: To But the whole argument start because I kept saying
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: quick calling.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: Him baby joke. Yeship, he was saying that he got
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: I hate it's just the last But like you said,
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: if he was playing, look he was, he's going at
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: him too. Yeah nice, he's a dog. Yeah, squad right now,
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: it's crazy y'all. Y'all got some kills over there just
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: to win it. Man. Thompson is one of the best
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: athletes we've ever seen the basketball. He do something every
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: night is just like that shit crazy special special.
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: When he learned how to shoot, he going NBA.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Just he just now like adding shit like his reads,
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: like knowing where to pass, knowing where the help is
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: coming from. Like he just now adding that because that's
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: a whole nother aspect to his game that he ain't
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: really tapped into yet.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: He got touched. He a dog and he worked hard.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: He was one of my favorite favorite kids. Bro. Like,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: let me ask you this, Like being out did it
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: make you like obviously you're gonna play for another ten years, right,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: they ever make you like, damn, I could be a
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: coach too. Yeah, Like, hell no, I think it's showing
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: me that I don't want to coach out It's like
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: I'll be going home with headaches and shiit after game,
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You know, like it's just
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: like it's only so much you can do.
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: The facts.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: I like to teach more than I like to coach.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: And I always knew like I would give back to
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: the game somehow. It's like, oh man, you would be
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: a coach. It's like, bro, the NBA grind to do
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: that shit for whatever, ten fifteen, twenty years and then
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: like go back to that again. Like I got kids,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Like I just can't see it. But I would definitely
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: be around the game in some capacity, you know what
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: I'm saying, And I know I can do it. I'm
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: doing it now, you know That's why I was as
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: I'm doing it in a lesser role on disrespect our coaches,
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: but like I'm helping them with the in between between
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: the players, you know what I'm saying. So, so I
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: got a coach out there on the court anyway. Yeah,
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: PG become a coach and you're like, I could do
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: it now. I told I told Rich and them, like
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: what so maybe I'll retired for five six years. So
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: it's fifteen years of coaches making twenty twenty five million
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: a year. That might be out there the game yelling
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: hey the assistant. Yeah he ain't gonna thousand. Damn the
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: money going up. Yeah, you give me a hundred. Come coach,
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: because you're going you go on the same trick.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: I'm back.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: You want to be back at the bench man, Yeah,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: the same thing.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to do the same hotels and everything.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: Yeah, the same. We're making the talk to staff right now.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: We got Fred, we got tig Evan Turner, y'all player specialist.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: I gotta get one right on the head coach. I
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: want to see Rondo coaches too. Rondo too serious though,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: Yeah you can't. That's a hard transition, bro. He takes
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: me to play our team in high school next year
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: with them, like if we want to play all Yeah,
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: he's smartest. Yeah, Like it'd be hard sometimes for them
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: from them, guys. A coach to the game ain't ain't
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: all about that either. Sometimes it's way more simple than
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: than you know what I'm saying, so I think sometimes
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: them guys struggle. But he definitely should be on somebody's staff.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: He specially got a special basketball man.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: Definitely. Hell yeah, I like talking.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Who for you? Yeah? Fred? The rule you got you
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: can't talk about? Yeah, I respect what man. I'm here, bro,
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: he retired. I want to hear a conversation to retire.
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: You want to dance, you know what I'm saying when
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: I need to. But you want to parade? Like though,
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: I want to know because we joked about our parade

- 1:13:19Speaker 1: just going from Toronto to Milwaukee. You can just start the.
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: Johnson different wish people that wont that mother Houston laying
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: on Miami.

- 1:13:31Speaker 1: we're gonna be partying, which we're there.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: Like you think I want to, don't worry about me.
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: You can feel, you can feel like the buzz and
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: the energy in the city, like you know the team
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: the city know a good team.
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: You know, hell so is gonna be filtered? Mo Low
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: you know say, we're not gonna tell you Johnson, come on.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: There, run it back. Yeah, exactly, We're gonna be right there.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: I hope y'all wouldn't want to after their boy seem
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: to do it. Thought, yeah, bro, gotta you gotta get healthy.
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: Y'all already get healthy. Ll crazy what you look about
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: this rookie class though, we got young, a lot of
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: young guys getting to You got VJ, you got Cooper
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: flag kind Kannupple. They represent right now, a lot of
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: first options. I know the league is a little bit
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: different now the rookies get to do whatever they want to.
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: But how has it been obviously you've been observing the
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: games and stuff like that. Man, I like it. I
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: think I think this is one of the better classes
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: that we done had, you know, like, just from guys
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: that's really you could see what they're gonna be right away. Yeah,
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: because then then a couple of these drafts we had,
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: you know, top picks come in and be role players
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: or come off the bench and don't play, and you know,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: ship like that. That is weird because that's not what
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: we grew up on back Like usually when you get drafted,
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: you know, they try to make you like a franchise guy.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: So to see to see the young guys this year,
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot of good players in this draft.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: And then yeah, obviously everybody's looking forward.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: To the next year. But I'm looking at this year
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: like ship.
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: I mean, they got they got some at least six, seven,
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: eight of them, you know what I mean A whip really, God,
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: that's contributing on winning teams. You got Queen, you got
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: the care from Memphis. Cent a coward beginning, he's supposed
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: to be a dukee. He out here do so right
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: now doing this thing. Little Brot Dylan dealing out here,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: killing the limited minutes right now. My fears wabble, everybody.
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: My boy, rookie class is decent. You got dealing, Yeah, yeah,
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: Harper this ship.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: And then the kid from Toronto is good too, Yeah yeah,
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: ce hm b hold it down. Some bully game out there.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: I like his class. I'm excited, more excited about next
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: year draft flash. Yeah, just because the freshman man in
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: college basketball is so many good freshmen. There's a lot.
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: I've just seen the kid from Houston. I went to
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: the Houston game Kingston Flemings Rock. He's a pro. They
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: got the care from Arkansas. That's really good. Cup obviously
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: the top two boozer, which you think about. I ain't
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: watching him play yet, dog. He good.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: I just think he likes Tyler hans Bro.
