  Speaker 4: I had to let go, you know what I mean,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: and great kids, it's just you know, damn, they're more
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: likely it's the fathers that think their kids and where
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: they need to be versus where they should be versus
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: this hold them accountable, you know what I mean. That's
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: my main thing. That's what we appreciate. My program is
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: we're gonna, We're gonna check ass. But the thing about it,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: what I love about it is that we watch every game.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: So it's like when your parents or your parents come
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: to us, like my nigga, I don't watch more tape

• 21:26
  Speaker 4: deal or transferred portal. But it's like kids hot versus
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: like if you want to play for a program, play
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: for that program and learn from that program. Like it's
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: not about these kids nowadays, like oh, let me get
• 21:35

• 21:38
  Speaker 4: of like the nigga. You ain't developing, Like it's about developing.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Y'all want to worry about being number one team ranking,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Like how good is your son? And I see a
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: lot of I had a real conversation with the kids
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: maybe about a month ago my team. I was like,

• 22:09
  Speaker 4: what was out there. We had to get asked out
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: there in the fire. My son was a part of it,
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: and I hated to see that nigga loose. So I
• 22:14

• 22:17
  Speaker 4: develop and put players around them that you know what
• 22:19

  Speaker 4: against the best, and make them make a decision based
• 24:19

  Speaker 4: were competing. Like I said, at that time, I felt
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: like I was getting the.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Best of them.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: So I wanted to play. And we lost eighteen straight
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: that year. So I'm like, God, damn, like, you know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: shake something up, do something different. He never really did.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Like I said. Doc told me some things that didn't
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: you know, come to light, and I was like, damn, like,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: get me out here. So I stayed down again. Kareem
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: rise at the top. I kept working that summer. I
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: at the crib my mom's house, and I see my
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: name on the on the TV. It's like seven names
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: on the bitch. We're going to Minnesota. I'm like, oh, yes,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: get me out here. But I'm like, damn Minnesota. Ah,
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: but whatever whatever.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Now I get to play, right, so I you know,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I see it. Whatever they go by. Denny called me like,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you ain't going nowhere? Okay, cool? Whatever? Going to find
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: out kg.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: He said what he said, let me lock in and
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: stay home at the Crib Boston at the time. So
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: the following year, like we want, we lost eighteen the
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: first year. Next year we obviously win a championship. So
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: that transition itself was a blessing in disguise because again
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I'm fighting to get out, but the lawyer had a
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: better plan for me. Obviously, just go through adversity, handle
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: this ship, and then now I prepared you for the
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: next year, which was the doll the pressure between me
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: and Perk.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: You know, they had two guys that's.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Not proving you know, no name guys that can't do this.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: They can't do that playing with three Hall of famers.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: So for me, it was just my mindset and when
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: the people I had around me like, you know, I
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: have a strong mindset to think like I am who
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: I am. I had to prove it. But again it
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: had to show through work, and I was in the
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: bitch every day in the weight room. I learned to
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: work in the weight room from Kevin. He worked every
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: day and I'm like, now you always in some motherfucker
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: like But again to play longevity to get through that
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: season without hitting the wall, or to get through, you know,
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: playing through injuries, continue to have your body, maintain your body,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: have a strong core from jump upbringing lord extremity. So
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: for me just learn that this from them guys. I
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: would come in the gym at night thinking I'm doing
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: something by myself. Upstairs is Paul Peris on the Treadmill
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: reality show up Game Days at three o'clock getting shot
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: at before you know what I mean. So it's like
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: I got, I got a mix of all that, and
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: I'm taking everything. Give me that. Let me get that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I'm a sponge. So and I'm adding to what I
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: love to do. Now I'm getting my pre game routine.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Now I'm figuring out what I like to because at
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: first I was come the league. I was even big
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: max full games. I'm going across street, you know, number two,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: number one in McDonald's fries, thinking I can do it all.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: But I was like, young fella, got slow down. So
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: tell you what you was on. I went to the mall.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: What's that that bourbon bourbon chicken, every city bourbon chicken meat.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I was on a budget too. I was going crazy
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: on that burbon chicken. Hiven that budget It's.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Crazy, man, It was broke. Bro gotta gotta manage. That's
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: the problem now a lot of us, maybe not now
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: because of the money they getting. But it's like when
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: I first came to the league, them classes with teachers, man,
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: it was eighty five cent of us going broke after
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: six years.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Crazy. So I was like, damn, I cannot be a statistic.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: That's real.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I think they're doing a better job, like being acknowledge
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: of financial literacy now in the bag.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: In the bag I was talking about you. I think
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I'm signed.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: I seen somebody sign for four year forty and we
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: thought that was crazy. Like listen, I think it was
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Chauncey because back my I wanted my deal, like I
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: think Tony Park was getting like eleven and twelve at
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, man, give me eleven.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: I'm cool. I signed five fifty five. Sadden like, man,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: this is like you know, I mean, like I'm from
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: when you got it.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, fifty five. Remember d Rose got eighty.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that's what I'm saying. So that was
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: eighty is like that's the birst.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: He after three points.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: But I seen my I love payting Pritchard, but he
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: got four year thirty two off the bench. I'm like, damn,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: that was like I got that was starting playing my hardest.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I was like, damn, all star like numbers you're getting,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: you all, this is what you're getting. I'm like, man,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: it's a blessing for them though, for sure, for sure,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: but for you to be the PG to run the team,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Like how was that? To deal with all the personality
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: because they was all successful, they were right.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: It was fun man, it was funny.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: The KG man he was, you know, he helped me
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: a lot, like I said, help me accountable from when
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I was doing the right thing and when I wasn't.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: So you me and Pete tight as ever now, you
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: know what I mean. Like we clashed a lot, like
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I said, he was he was a captain, you know
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: what I mean. And for me being able to run
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: it through Doc. Learning from Doc, they brought in Sam
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: could Sale which helped me a lot on my hill.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I had great guys around me. It helped me like
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: manage the guys, learn how to you know, manipulate the game,
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: make sure everybody's cool. But Kevin was the one that
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: sacrificed most. That's why I say shot to Kevin because
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: you know, he obviously still won his shots. Ray wanted
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: his shots, but Kevin, when he won, that motherfucker'd be like, hey,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: bring that motherfucker down here. And then there was you know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: it was time. But for the most part, he was
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: a willing pick setter. You know what I mean, you
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: understood this role.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: He was a star in his role, which he was
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: a superstar, but it's you know, people understand like he
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: was a star in his role. He was gonna pick
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: up ninety four feet with me. He was gonna talk
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: the most on defense. He's gonna lay the motherfucker down
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: if he needed to, elbow wise, he's gonna talk shit,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: get the ten going. So his mindset, he didn't talk
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: to nobody before games that Nigga was locked in every time.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I remember one time my rookie year, we in Rome,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: my second year, we in Rome and he's going through
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: in layup line.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Man, Nigga bumped shot at me one time.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what the fuck, didn't look at me, didn't
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: break a sweat and kept it locked and I'm like
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: this Nigga is for real. Like but he was just
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: it was his mindset before the game, like it was.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: It was him against everybody, and not necessarily he bought
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: me on purpose. I'm saying his like his mindset. He
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: did ritual every game. He never shot before the games,
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Like he never came out at four o'clock or sixteen
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: minutes on the clock his shoot. When he shot, he
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: would grab one or two rookies and make the ass shoot.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Every time he did the rebound, we out, there's the
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: team twenty minutes on o'clock. He get to He get
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: to his four spots every time. Every day in practice,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: You're gonna do the same thing every day after practice.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Like so I was like, okay getting him. I think
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: him and Brown was the most disciplined players I've ever
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: played with. M Daily Great Daily, Yeah, why do you
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: bark at.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Me in the game? Bro? For me? No, kg oh Man,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: that's him man, Like, I mean, get all four and.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Bro, Bro, we got the clip man, please finally clip Man.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: That was crazy.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's what That's what I loved about him,
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: And like that motherfucker you would love to go to
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: war with him. I think people compare him a sense
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: of kind of like a Joe King or you hate
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: to play against some motherfucker when you get, you get
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: him on the team, is like, he's your favorite team
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: at of all time.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So that's my little brother.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: But I had a question. I was going, well, I
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: want to talk basketball for real. Like we had a
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: clip with me and Jordan Crawford was talking about Avery
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Bradley and I remember y'all too a start in the
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: back court at one point. You two niggas playing defense.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: That's the most wild shit.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I used to be like, hey, man, look that love
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: young nigga shot. That's my little bro a b man.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: That nigga inspired me, bro, because when he got there,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: it's like I didn't have to be that guy that
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: picked up ninety forty. More so, I was like, you know,
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh shit, good looks you fell. And
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: the way he did it, they practice, Man, the nigga
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: was intimidating. He was dominating, like and he would every
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: time you get a nigga, he'd be like, yes, that's
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: what he's on my list.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Though.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: I got him getting ashed, I got him, add him,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Jimin Nelson got him. I'm like, and I'm in the
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: game watching niggas. Do not want to put the bitch
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: on the ground in front of him, Like niggas throwing
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: that motherfucker anything like, Man, I don't give a funk
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: who get this ball.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: It ain't gonna be me getting embarrassed because as a PG,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: you can't get ripped ninety four feet runs in the basket.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Like I mean, you just at half court. That's one
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: of the most brass works to me. It's worse to
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: getting equivalent and getting dunked on, like the getting picked at.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Especially in the league.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Man, but they was guarding and he's in the playoffs
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: against him, and he was like, let's get these niggas.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Man, that's my love.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: That's yeah, that's exactly what it was. That's the mindset.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Like I said, he was always with it. That's why
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: another one of my favorite back court makes was yourew Holliday.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: We played that series against Poland and niggas Like, Man,
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: it was either it was either Poiland or it was Houston.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you know me, I'm let's get Houston.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: He's like, let's get poored.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: I'm like a nigga whoever like And it was that mindset,
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: having a running mate with you besides you like that.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: It's like when I'm ready to go to the ward.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Any time, any time of the day, defenders right there,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: and I'm cool with switching with him. And I'm okay,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: So if I got a guy like a d Rolls,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: if I got to Chase to Steph, I'm not comfortable
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: to switch with everybody. But Avery Browley Drew hot Day,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, cool, they understand that I'm on, shut
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: this nigga down.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: We're gonna jump around.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: But we got to talk about that Pelican team, in
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: which I did say trail blas a shame. I was like,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: that's one of the few teams and you you've been
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: to callus for a lot of great playoffros. That was
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: his game plan.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I seen him.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I was watching the guy. I said, he made this
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: game plan. He's coaching this.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: I promised, shout out to gentry man you coached that
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: that man, I shout out the gentries.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: He coached that.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: He allowed me. I think you know, I think you
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: know people.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: I'm thankful for people that coach that allowed me to
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: coach when I play, you know me, because I said
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: they had had to earn that respect. Because again that
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: year in particular, man, y'all forget we had the Marcus
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Cousin on that team.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: We didn't forget so my thing when he towards a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: C because before that.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: I wasn't in rotation like that because it wasn't enough
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: basketlall as it was Drew a D cuz I really
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: didn't fit in because I needed a ball too.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: So once Cousin went down, he was she was starting
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: to master the game too. Man, that's me. I was
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: a bed at the time. It wouldn't really an ego thing.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: It was like, man, if I could see my young boys,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: which was Cousin a D and I said, one of
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: my favorite team boys, Drew go crazy. I was trying
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: to teach cause how many play the game because at
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: first Cousin eighty with both trounds.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Score fifty.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Like I'm like, cuz that eighty, get to fifty, you
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: get twenty, twenty and ten and now we all can
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: still eat, Yes, sir. And at the time, if you
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: look at up, I think Cousins starting average a couple
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: triple doubles. At the time he was going got hurt
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: against Golden State, a kill lee, shit happened whatever. I
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: don't know who what might have been going to say
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Popper's Achilles and then they inserted me and I was like,
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: all right, get into it. Okay, I got eighty as
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: a webinar.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I got. I had Nico, uh, Nico, what's my man?
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Marriages? Yeah, that big he was my shooter. And I
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: had Drew. I had a eat one more.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: I mean I had to have some well, so I
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: mean I had I felt like I had I was
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: able to have a team where I had weapons.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like I can beat you four time before
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: you beat me four times. That's that was my That
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: was always how I played and thought the game.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I ain't even saying it because you're hearing, and
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: I sort of got. I thought you'all was going to
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: the finals now you always but I always appreciated.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: The only reason I believe that we didn't, man, is
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: because one we didn't have Cuz because when we were
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: gonna going against Golden State, we needed that enforcer and
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: we needed somebody to.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Check Draymon.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I mean I wanted Ad to first play the game,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: hit Drama on the chest, set the tone different, bro,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like it had to set
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: the tone. I think Draymond hit first against a d
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: and again we obviously we lost that series. We were
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: able to get one. Like people obviously had us swept
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: by the way we did Portland niggas had to start
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: looking like, oh, okay, what the fuck they got going.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Over here in New Orleans.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: So Gentry was coaching in Flynn, Minnesota coaches the office
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: of coordinator.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so so he know how to work with
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: two big Yeah. So now it was because we had
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: a stretch forward. We had damn you know, Nico, he
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: was stretching the bitch out you, I mean where Nurkic
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: couldn't get there. Yeah, but now it makes sense how
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: he plays in Minnesota, cat being a stretch for Rudy.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Now I didn't even know that that makes sense now.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: And then another crazy playoff team you had. We ain't
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: eve gonna talk about the chests first, but come on,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: the bull situation, dog, that's another one of them.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: You don't know.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let me tell you a little bit of history
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: of that though. Man, that was that was a year
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: I had the biggest contract. So I'm I'm in Chicago.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: I'm uh, like I said, in downtown, it was a
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: great experience. Like I said, we're in there playing for
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Michael Jordan where you played in Chicago. Like I said,
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I'm only I think it's a close distance from the
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: crib that I was at. So I would get off
• 37:23

• 37:24
  Speaker 4: try to take my kids school and drive back like
• 37:26

• 37:28
  Speaker 4: So that particular year, though, them niggas fucked me. I
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: mean they benched me, uh for a long period of time.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: They brought a couple of players, like, you know, you

  Speaker 4: Them niggas benched me for a couple of months.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: So yep, for me.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: Remember again, Cannon was playing Isaiah Cannon Cameron Payne, Michael Carter, William,

• 38:16
  Speaker 4: is all my young niggas. I love them all, you

  Speaker 1: Y'all. Y'all brought me in. Said, y'all want me to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: run the show again.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: I've been brought in a couple times where niggas like

  Speaker 4: we want you to do this, and when I do it,
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: it's like, oh shit, he's doing too much or he's
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: he's wild.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: And now, nigga, y'all told me this is what I do.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: So that year I get bench again, I'm like, man,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: this is wow ship what I do. I went to
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I went to damn near every hood in Chicago in
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: a sense and play runs called one fifty shout out
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: to everybody.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: They kept me in.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Shape, they go to they played one fifty Yeah, and
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: that was I was able to keep my head, keep
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: a cool head because I was still playing the game
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: I love.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I was still able to say in shape.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: And then when I was obviously when I would saying
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: the Kreean raster the top, when I got an opportunity
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: again it was playoff time, yes, sir, so on my mind,
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I'm like ship, I'm ready to fuck these niggas up.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: And again we were the eighth seed. We got nothing
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: to lose.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: And that and I'm back at the crib and they
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: you know, Isaiah Thomas is going crazy. M hm, you
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: know they got to help a squad at number one
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: in the East. Man, I figured, okay, cool, let me
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: so Game one were in the lobby. We had our
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: team meeting, so I told Jimmy and d Wade to
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: stay back. Let's be walked through a play with y'all.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Because again Brad ain't ready for this shit. In the
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter, was able.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: To maniplate the game.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: That way, we obviously get Game one, same thing we
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: did Game two. Now at this time, people bought into
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: what I was telling. At first, niggas were really trying
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: to hear what I was saying that by that time again,
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Negg was like, Okay, let me what are you talking about.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's do that, and that's what we did. Then
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: we went.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Then we win both games by both games. Then I
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: reached on Al Horford broke my thumb.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I'm out.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to play that. Like now it's you got
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: a chield. So, like I said, another blessing from above,
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: the Niggas lose four straight, just like, come on, man,
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: the crazy thing about it. So we we went to
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: on the roll. We come back to the crib. It's
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: supposed to be crazy. Back in Chicago when that game three,
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: it was like this the crowd damn, Like I'm thinking
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: this going to be crazy. Like when we we number
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: a c we done won two games that nobody in
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: the world expected, sun up all the bets. If it
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: was heavy betting back then out of out of I
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: would hit we would hit a lick John t right.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Like I got like who who taught you how to
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: play the game? Because the way you think the game,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy. Bro. Like you hear like Kobe
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: and Lebron talk about like your i Q about the
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: game and stuff.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Like that, like as a hooper.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: When I see stuff you was doing on the court,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: we will play you and you will have a bus.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: This nigga, I don't know Pauls, but nigga hands big
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: as ship. So the nigga would hold the ball and
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: he'd be telling this nigga sit there right here. And
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: I used to be like, what the fuck, Like I
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: look back and this nigga take off and lay the ball.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I tell him, Kurt, he you going
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: this motherucker.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Because he's doing too much sneaky ship man. All that.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I really guard every brother whoever run off these screens
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: right Allen, fuck all this ship because he would be
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: holding the ball who is doing and start attacking do
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: all them in and outs. And I was like, man,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: who taught you how to play?
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: Probably taught me how to play, and like Bibby taught
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: me my husand coach Doug Baby. Shot Doug Baby again,
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: he's a he's a sense and this ship.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: But I said, I grew up playing everywhere in the city,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: I was always the smallest. I always play up my
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: older brother. He's fires older me. So every time I played,
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: it was niggas around his age, you know what I mean.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: So it was like, so I didn't get picked up
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: at first, so I had to prove myself. So it's
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: like I always had that chip on my shoulder and
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: always played against more athletic, taller, stronger guys. So it's
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: like for me, I just wanted to be great and
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: I had to find a way to figure ou how
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: to do it. That's where I guess maybe the shot
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: fake came from it. Again, I'm playing aginst tall niggas's
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: they're gonna block my shot, so now I got to
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: smart them on how to you know, to me, I
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: love I compared to like chess. I mean to be
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: a two three steps ahead of the game. And that's
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: always how I thought the game. And for me, the
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: film is the answer to the test. So when I
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: once I was introduced to film my freshman in high school,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Doug Baby, May's watch film and I'm in this bitch.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Like man, hear you go with this shit.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm bad bady language and film like man,
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: you always talking about me. So at first I didn't
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: understand it, and I see it now teaching the au kid.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: It's like the same energy it's like, Okay, keep working
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: and think you'll think me later. That's why I continue
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: to do it. So for him to teach me the
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: game and be able to watch myself and understand my
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: mistakes and where my weaknesses are and how teams are
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: going to play me, I was able to learn and
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: tinue and just pick it up and be a sponge.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: And now when I got you know, I got success
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: from it.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: It was it was I want to I'm not going
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: pay it to a drug.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: But it was very addictive to continue to learn to
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: watch and play the game and understand guys tendency. So
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: when I get in the game, it's like, huh, I'm
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: ahead of you.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was a psychopath, I'm like this dude.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Like when we used to guard you, I know I'm
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: doing too much basketball. We like the joking ship. But
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: when we used to guard you, I used to tell
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the coaches like, hey, we got to pick him up.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: We gotta play him, like like we're playing Steph Curry.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: You gotta guard him, Like no, no, no, sad back.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, he like Tom Brady and the PA whatever,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: But Tom, they're gonna pick you apart. And we used
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: to we's in a playoff series against you. We used
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: to argue about that, and I'm like, bro, we gotta
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: guard him and make him like be a score, make
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: him like you let him do this. Bro, he gonna
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: dissect that ball. Man, he just sit there and let
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: him off a panda.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: I had too many weapons. It was hard to play like.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: I got KG on the spinout lot and it's crazy.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: I'm I think eighty. He would have to get it
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: from him. Like I said when Adie connection same ship,
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: I was like, man, me and Kevi, you get to
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: every big I played with Cutz like me and that
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Katie that KG reverse spin because niggas so Thirsty's not
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: to deny the ball because they're such a great players.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Now you're playing that.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Top side, I'm reading the backside defense and if he
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: ain't a foot of I can only throw to him
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: where you can go get it. So I'm actually teaching
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: my young au team. He ain't duncan yet, but trust
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: being bad. By two years from now year and a half,
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: we're gonna we're gonna have to spend that live my
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: son and a big kid.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Jacob Carter, I'm happy you brought that up. The head fake.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: You was a two K legend.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Dog that was that was that half fake bro with
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: the certain that spin around late.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: It was green every time. I never played two K never.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I mean I played it my son, but I never, like,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: I never get on the game.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not a gamer. I don't.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: I just can't get into it. But all the games
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: and I never played games.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Listen, two K eight to two K, Like, Bro, you
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: was unstoppable.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Bro. It didn't matter. Bro.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: But you talk about that Bulls series when you was
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: part of Bulls. Let's talk about that series when you
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: was with the Celtics. Y'all played the Bulls. One of
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: the best first round series ever ever. It was probably
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: about seven over times at that series.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: That was one of the best. It was. It was
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: a dog.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: It was a dog fight, man. It was one of
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: my favorite season ever played in shot d Rose one
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: of my favorite player I played against you. I mean, like,
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: he didn't talk shit. He just let his games. We
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: were talking and he was a tough motherfucker to guard
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: like unreal like one's.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: He number one hard as the guard.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, nigga tough bro. Yes, I mean you know you
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: could say Steph. But at the same time he was
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: a monster. He is a monster as well, but that
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: particular time with the Rose, you needed all five help,
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: like you had to all five guys had to have
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: eyes on him like a nigga getting the paint just
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: like that. And then he's elevating on any big filet
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: in finessa shit, and I'm like, I mean, this depends.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: So he was tough man. Transition was She was a
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: one man fast break for sure. And obviously we got
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: to talk about thieves up here. Which one would you say,
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: what's harder to get? Because I both had the legendary
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: rolls for both of them. What sheveryship would you say
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: was a little tougher than the other one. It's different
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: and it's hard to speak on that because again, at
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: one point I was twenty one years old, the other
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: one I was thirty four, so different times in my life.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: At twenty one playing, I think we played twenty six
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: games and win. We went to the Hawks seven games,
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: Detroit six, Cleveland seven, and then LA six, so the
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: it was like twenty six games and that was, like
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: I said, every game.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: And you know, if you play in the playoffs like it's.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: The high and low, you win one you up here
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: and you lose, You're like shit, I can't eat, don't
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: talk to me.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: You know, when do we play again? That's the mindset.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: So it was like for me, that was a tough
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: one mentally to get through because again, like I said,
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: we had seven games, damn near every time and then
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: like I said, that seven game niggas do it die,
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: So that mindset nigga, and I loved it. I think
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: I thrived the most when it was game seven. So
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: it was them type of pressure games because I wanted
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: that moment. But I had a great cask around me.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, I felt like the pressure
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: was all on me, but it wasn't in a sense
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: because everybody was starting the role and we're able to
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: be great and we didn't have to do it all.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: Being coached by one of the best motivators ant nexting
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: those guys, Doc Rivers.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: He's fetching a lot of heat lately, and uh, you.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: Know, but again, like I feel like players make the
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: coaches in the sense, you know, you can't do shit
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: with our talent.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: And the year before again we lost eighteen straight with
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: that team. With Doc, you get you.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: Get a mixed a couple of Hall of famers, the
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: right chemistry, Thibodaux coming that motherfucker. Shout out to Tabodeaux defensive,
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: you know, juggernaut, and we were able to mesh man.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: We had great leadership, guys that sacrifice and ball into
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: one another. It wasn't uh no egos at all that
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: particular year, and we we figured out and made it work.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: We had a group of.
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: Older guys with the big three, and then we had
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: a young guys me, Tony Il and Leon pold Perk,
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: y'all been you know what I mean, Eddie House, Jane Posey.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: So we were deep, uh you know, and and it
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: felt good, Paul, you know, and it felt good to
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: run at that table. But the bubble was completely different
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: too though. I mean, like I said, we isolated no
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: motivation really in the sense of just like Nigga check ball,
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: it was it was me against you, wasn't no fans,
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: it wasn't no the extra shit on the side, It
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: wasn't no distractions really because we were able to lock
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: in and hoop and play basketball.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: So I feel like we will always be able to
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: be at our best sense for sure. And everybody talked
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: about that bubble basketball. Y'all was there living in the dorms.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Everybody was just on Amazon packages and packages hooping like
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: that was like the purest form of basketball. Don't know
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: why people were trying to discredit the bubble ring and
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. I might not niggas had to really
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: just sit there and hoop.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Bro, Yeah you know, I mean it was. It was
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: checkball classic. If you ask me, it wasn't no like
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: I said, no extra ship you checkball. You played against
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: each other and like in the playoffs, that's went to me.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: Mary went crazy Like that's when I was like, oh,
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: this nigga for real, Like I didn't know he was.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: So he went crazy on us. He destroyed us, like
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: we couldn't check him. He had to move on me
• 48:33

• 53:48
  Speaker 1: What do you mean.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: You got to go? Like, okay, little low light behind
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: the back path we talked about please tell over you
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the club. That part okay for sure. Man,
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: that's crazy. But like, obviously, man, we know how smart
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: you are, but I like to see the greats give
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: you your credit. Like, how does that feel that had
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: that type of validation. Obviously accomplishments is there. But to
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: the people that we all deemed its ghosted. Like hey,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: now man, rage Rondo is that one? How does that feel?
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: It's unbelievable, man like to get their respect, to be
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: honored from you know that said part of the greats.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: I mentioned my name as far as how I understand
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: the game and obviously playing against me for years, I
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: played in this thing for sixteen years.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: So how they respect from?
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Like I said, the guys that's doing the podcast now,
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: the people that obviously everybody's talking and to hear those
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: responds and respect they give me, it's a blessing and
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: it's something I don't take for granted, you know what
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: I mean? Like I said, I never played it for that.
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: I played it just because I wanted to be great
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: and I wanted to find my niche on how I
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: could be great because again, I wasn't the fastest, I
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: didn't shoot the best, I didn't jump the highest, like
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: so it's like, okay, how can I be great in
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: my own way? And for me, it was like, shit,
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go study harder than most niggas and
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: like I said, be a Sponge. I was fortunate to
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: play with Damn there probably over ten to twelve Hall
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: the first Balltleh Hall of Famous. So for me, every nigga,
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: every person I played with, it was like, let me
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: get that.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, let me get that.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: And then when I did, when I went to different teams,
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: I try to pass it along to the young guys,
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: like to the eighties and I went from Derk to Kevin.
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: Now I'm able to talk to Cus and give it
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: to him and give it to the you know, I say,
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: Anthony Davis, So whoever that's young player DeAndre Jordan, I mean,
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: any young guy I played with. And that's why I
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: pride myself on too. It's always giving back to the
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: young boys, to the rookies, the first second player. Your
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: players and niggas don't really fuck with or respecting the
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: sense because again I was once that player.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't I came in to Sweny first pick. I
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: didn't play my rookie year, you know.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: What I mean.
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: So I feel I understood what it took to work
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: and continue to have positive people arounning your veterans and
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: people that may look up to me and like Damn
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: niggas fuck with me. Okay, cool, now I get it.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: Let me this is what he doing, then let me
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: add a little bit of to that. So that's the most
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: time that they gonna get. When I go to these games,
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: I see these young niggas and they're like, man, I
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: appreciate what you did for me. Though, It's like that's
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: the most satisfying thing for me, along with you know,
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: argub be the greatest about time, Brian saying that he
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: respect my.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: C like no other. So it's like I can't change
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: to be thankful for it.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Trying to pass and the nigga crazy Bro. Y'all don't
• 56:16

  Speaker 2: even know. I get the news on the radio going
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: back to the arena.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, that's crazy.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Window I was. I was trying to go. It wasn't Now.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I would.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: Have done if I would have just fell down because
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: I had a parstial tear. In order for me to
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: play again, I had to get the surgery. But if
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: I was just regular Joe, I could have just continued
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: to walk.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: I probably propped a couple of parks and went crazy
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: thirty thirty.
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: But at that time I said de Rose towards a
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: CLO and min Shumper towards a cl and they couldn't
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: finish the game. So for me in my mind was like, well,
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: I finished the game, so I didn't turn my a
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: cl So I was like, okay, I thought this iry extended,
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: I can play.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: That was my mindset, thinking what the ac of terrible?
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: I just remember like this Nigga finished the game real.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think I'm this dedicated.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Finished the game, bro for sure. Before we get out
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: of here, though, we got to talk about it.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: That number nine Rondo is one of the legendary rap
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: lines out of that feel.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: When you was in everybody wrap.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: So like anytime somebody said nine, your name was coming
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: right after that.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: You know what that?
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: It was so crazy, Like I said, again, I never
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: understood knew it because again the reason why I got
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: nine in Boston was because four was gone.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: No, no, four wasn't gone up.
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: The single dish number was gone, and Ryan Gong was like, man,
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: give me some bread for it. I'm like, Nigga, like
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: you said, I ain't got no breade. I can't pay
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: for no motherfucking number.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: With that.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Let me get nine.
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: That's how it came about. So I didn't really know
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: obviously what I was doing when I got it. How
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: crazy I've been through maybe like about ten years AGL.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: I have one of my boys out and Seattle used
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: to make the iPods for us and Nate Robinson's Homeboy,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: and he made all the track lists with Number nine
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: in it with my song and it was maybe like
