  Speaker 5: All I did was went to the gym, came back
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: to the hotel, sat up, laid u till it's time
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: to go back, over and over and over, just grind

  Speaker 5: was on the roster or whatever, like, I had to
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: check out at the hotel every single night we went
• 17:23

• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I had to take my luggage. I only had two suitcases.

• 17:29
  Speaker 5: it's up until January tenth, I could have been cut, damn.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: So I'm checking out every single t's like every game,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: every practice, practice.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Is my game facts. So how you go from that
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: to starting That's what I love about. He get people opportunity.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Like honestly, I remember I was in the
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: gym one time on an off day and Sloan came
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: in and he smiled like he just I don't know
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: y'all of it, like sloan, but like he like, how
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: you doing something.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm a good coach. He's like go home.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yh you know, I'm brook. I ain't going home.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: I gotta be here. He's like, go home. I was like, okay,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: go back to the house. And I'm just like, damn,
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know what to do, you know. And I
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: think he just saw that. And then they ended up
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: trading my guy, Ronnie Brewers. That broke my heart when
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: that happened, traded him, and then it was just opportunity,
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Like it was just go and it was just like
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: that was just the mentality you just gotta keep going.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: And that's something you can speak to.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Shit, you never know where your moment happened, but when
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: it happened, Shit, all that other shit that happened before,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: it don't matter. You really gotta go play. You gotta
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: go a prove yourself. You really get one opportunity in
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the league. They're like everybody get that one moment and
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: you gotta like seize that moment. But if you don't,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: that's when you get lost in the sauce. Like I
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: seen a lot of people to go out there. You know,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: somebody get hurt, they're gonna be out two or three games,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: and them two or three games could be your moment
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: to show like I'm ready and then you can maybe
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: crack the rotation or another team could see it and
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: that's something they might pick you up in the summer for.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of what happened to me really, uh
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: with Kurk getting hurt in the playoffs, got an opportunity
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: to play. I remember that you're asking the fire, but
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: that's he started in the West, started in the West.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And mellow, mellow, mellow.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's tough, but that's that's the thing, though, is
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: like you like never took you never blamed nobody else,
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. It's just like it's harder
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: to digest, like it is what it is sometimes. But
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: I just got to keep doing my job regardless and
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: be ready because at some point, ay two game seasons
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: too long, somebody gonna get it. You know, somebody's gonna
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: happenn opportunity life too long, Like something's gonna happen. Like
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: it's just if you mentally prepared that I did when
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: I'm to do this day, then I'm ready for whatever happens.
• 20:03

  Speaker 5: I know exactly where I was to I checked in
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: that game in the third quarter for the playoffs. I
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: was watching that. I said, oh my god, this is
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: the n b A that was. That was my first
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: NBA game.

• 25:42
  Speaker 1: oh ship.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he thought he was gonna travel. He was trying
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: to outlet and Mellow kind of jumped it. I'm like, Sap, no,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: now you're on a poster forever.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And that's when he was saying I'm back.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: He was going through all that scrutiny or whatever that
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: summer before he had a he had a music mission facts.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: So playing with Dee Will, though, did you just have
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: to spot up and be ready to shoot?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: That's it? And I couldn't even shoot. That's the thing.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Like I was. I was a slasher, energy, all that
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: So like, honestly, it wasn't to Jeff HORNI sack because
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: I had Kyle Korver's on that team, okay, so respect
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: they would sub me in. So when I started playing,
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: I was playing because I was guarding. I was energy
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff. But then like Kobe and
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: all them guys, they would guard me obviously and sag
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: off because they wouldn't worry about me shooting right, So
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: then that's when they would sub put Kyle Lein so
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: he was more of an offensive threat.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: So horn secks like you want to stop coming out
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: I was like, hell, yeah, like you learn how to shoot,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: all right, let's do it. So every morning I'm shooting
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: on the gun with Jeff Horny Sack every single morning.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Never beat him, yeah, never beat him.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: But then you know, the game start coming around, start
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: feeling confident, I'm wide open, catch it. Bo hit one,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: hit another one. Now they got to close out to me.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Now I can start doing what I want to do, slashing.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: All that stuff.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: And then now, like you said, like that's how it
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: started starting, just like adding stuff to the game.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: But you know I had to have someone that saw
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: it for.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Me too, So shout out to Jeff, want to say,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I tell him that every time I see him.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Obviously ship working.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: It's crazy like this even happened because last episode we
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: mentioned you because we referenced it was just like if
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: you not a lottery picked you, damn it better all
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: being in this situation where you could be second or undraft,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: because now, like for you your situation, you grind it
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: to a point to where you got paid quicker than
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: everybody else in your draft class.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I was one of those people in that draft class.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I was like, what the fuck right to it?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: After that?
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Portland, that's when he really starts shooting that motherfucker.
• 27:52

• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Next thing I knew, I so let me shut the
• 31:28

• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Came soon as he came in, like to practice and ship.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: You kind of got to feel like, yeah, he the one.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it was quick. I mean he I
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: forgot what it was. Were probably just playing pick up.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I remember I was on the right corner. I was
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: on this side.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: He comes down by by whatever, gets to the right,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: get to the faint like tax like the forty five whatever.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: My man helps him a little bit. Yeah, he had
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: no point. Do we make our contact at no point
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: in the possession. And he just throws over his head
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: straight to me. I'm like, okay, different, he's.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Doing that, you know. And this was before he played
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the NBA game. All right, you see the court different.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: So that's why you're talking to this goofy.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: You know, slow.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Just running them off. He got a long listening for y'all.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: T t here you go crazy.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: But that's that's why I wanted to ask you to
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: like Luca playing with Luca. That motherfucker is so big
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: and slow, bro, Like, I don't know how he'd be
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: getting that ship off.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Like do you know the trick? Like what's the trick
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: to his game?
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: Like, I mean one, he's got his breaks, like he's
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: he's like James where he can stop on the die,
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: change direction, his handle. You're not taking it from No
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: One NBA left. He carrying one, but too, it's how
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: the game go now, Like he knows how to play.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: He doesn't.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: He's not like those six eight sixty nine guys that
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: want to play six to two. He's gonna play six
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: eight with a six two skill set.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: So that's a great way to That's a great way
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: you gotta he got a future man on TV.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, you gotta ask the people that play with
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: great before you gotta ask, because they like right there
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: with him every day, you know what I'm saying.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: Like he and he understands situations. He's like I got
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: a little guard right here. I'm gonna play post up
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: game one because I got a post up game and
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: then too, like I know that's the move.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like all right, I got a big up here.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: Okay, I can break him down, you know, like he
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: and then you know how I get filed too.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: So like thinking about all the elite point guards you
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: play with, I know it's a tough thing to do
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: because you like Caul, you wrank him like with Dame
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: d Will Luca Trey.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Right now, you.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Don't want to throw in there that people ain't gonna
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: remember you will Andre Miller. Yeah, I'm putting Andrew Miller
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: up there. Just stood the game. He understood the game.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: It was high pitched voice too. He break the game now.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: He like one time he was like.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: All right, I I know you ain't got the ball
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: in a minute, but we got to throw the ball
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: to la Marcus Aldridge. So we're gonna throw it to him.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: But the next time when you cut underneath the basket,
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: I'm just gonna throw it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Just be ready that like he would read the situation
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: like he know, like I'm not happy right and I go,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: you know, like I'm guarding.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I'm dogging the best player on that like that, I
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: ain't got a touch.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Like he was like, hey, look I need him to
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: keep dogging, need him to dog I need him.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: The staying game.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: So he's like, look, we were shooting a lot of threes.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: We've been jagging the ball up. We need to feed
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: big fella. That's off bread and butter. But like after that, look,
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you a touch that's real. So like
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: he'd be up there, I'll say d Will was up there. Yeah,
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: I mean d Will Andre Dame Luca and trade. Trade
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: that boy can pass the ball.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: He got he could.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: He could see that fluid in four to seven.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Boy. I remember I was on the court at the
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: same time. I was like, damn, that's the little back.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Six. Well he's six ft.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: He could pass the ball though, Like I think him
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: and Luca might be one of the more even trades
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I've ever seen in the NBA, like for what they
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: do for their team, like talent wise, and I hate
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: what people say it's Luca because they fly, Like Luca's better.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I do know that Treyon did go to
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Eastern Conference Finals, like that actually happened the best the
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Eastern Conference Finals, Western Conference Finals, Like yeah, comparable points,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: like obviously different situations, but I mean very yeah, Like
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know the break down to you, who's one more.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Who's lost more. But I gotta imagine it.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: I think people will take look up more just because
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: of he rebounds better.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's a that's why.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: That's why niggas giving him the nod. I mean, yeah,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: what you got. That's why I'm luka to differ. It's
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: understandable and respectfully to.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Atlanta.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: It's a different market for sure. If Trey would be
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: on TV more, there would be different.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Feel young was in New York.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Come on, I agree. I mean yeah, market definitely plays
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: a role for sure. You know because trade nasty and
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: he game like down here for tray is twenty four and.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: You also get like this like that's the other thing
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: is like I was seeing like that's honestly with this
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: whole team, Like there's just so much. There's so much there,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: like we just got to continue to you know, those
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: habits are win it. You know how that ship are
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: like because the hardest part about development habits of winning
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: is like you're not gonna win every time you try
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: and develop them has fuck damn, you know every time
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: you try Like I did everything right, everything I was
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: supposed to do, and lost lost. You know what I'm
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: saying that's life too. So it's like how do you
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: continue to do that ship over and over and over?
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: And that's the part where it's like everybody's taking strides
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: on that. So like that's I'm excited ship. Like I
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: know we're talking about like train and Luke and all
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: that ship, but like I'm excited about like this team
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: and everything.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: You know, facts, Manna got a special place in my heart.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: They always got I'm always a Hawks fan from as
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: far and I used to work for him.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: So on that and off the court, you got.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: The fact you got a little Marcus all your story
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: for us. Bro, it's a big name. We can't let
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: go without, you know, speaking on for a few seconds.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Why what's that about?
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I just feel like he's probably you know, shout out
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: to all the bigs you play with, but he probably
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: the best.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah before but I don't know, Bro, I played with

• 38:21
  Speaker 4: that just different. I'm talking like a real big yeah yeah, okay,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: the traditional talking about.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: The last of the dime breed of the traditional.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, because I saw Dirk on his on the
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: on the back. But even even though he slashes that.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Like dark training, Bro, like they no one loved basketball
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: more than him.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: That was crazy but l A yeah, he could go
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: get you a buck, even when you knew he was
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: gonna do.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Going middle, going middle, He's going to turn around, he
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: going to that block. He bumped bump, bump, fade or
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: his bump.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: You two light, I'm going on to the middle.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: That boy did not use his left hand at all ever, Bro,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: it was crazy and to activate the midi And that's
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: what's so hard. Niggas in the league. Know what you're
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: gonna do. You're not about to use both, But you
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: can't stop me, Bro.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: That nice, he didn't see. He was just that athletic.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: But he turned on when he needed to, like he
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: had that he was a dog though he was gonna
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: go get it like he always played with an edge
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: and the chip. And that's why you know, I gravitated
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: towards him, and I think that we had a chemistry too,
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Like he was a big reason watch why I got
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: all them threes because I was always postfeeding, I'm like,
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: post they go double, I'm.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Like, come on, come on, I love team Bro. When
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: y'all got Dame, I.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Said, yeah, he was cold and I was cold and too,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: it's crazy was cold. I was up and out the
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: big I was putting my putting at the five and
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: putting two at the four.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: And yeah, he used to strap niggas a pause, you
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: talk strap, but I ain't talking about that want to
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: really good. What I was just saying, niggas used to
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: really like lock niggas up.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: The keyboy while we would go with that team is
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: because like Nick allowed Dame to be naturally what he is,
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: which was a shooting guard, to take him off the ball.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Nick like he would score if he wanted to. He
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: wasn like he wanted to facilitate. So like that allowed
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Dame to cut off screens, be cut off flaares and
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: you know Nick trying to throw them lives.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And Nick won the games of like eight eight eight
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: eight eight. Nick, that's what he wanted to do.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: He was like the he was like the black.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: He do like the white.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: He facilitated the offensive, ship can still shoot and do everything.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Probably was perfect, you know.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying, it he runs.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Nico was coming off that for fucking high pick and
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: roll chain action wherever y'all called it going right and
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: he's looking for people. I'm like, man, y'all, don't let
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: this go left. One time you going right now? They
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: was fired and then you used to run that flair action.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I hate. I remember they were trying to what's that point?
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: It's like a fir fl.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Coming off a pin down, like I would run off
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: a pin down from somebody passing back to Dame l
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: A was flair over the top.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I would flare over the top. He throw it over
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: or whatever you.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: Used to blender man to be like, listen because you're
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: gonna switch it. They had too much going on with
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: that play. I hated that play bro. We was flying around.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: I fuck with that team, Damn, that's crazy. So you
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, you said Dallas, you know what
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: say you to? That lifestyle was there? You know what
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, You play you play.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: The LA How was that?
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: I always wandered how it is to play in Los
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Angeles cause I fel like it's a lot.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Of pressure just to play for the Kress.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: That was COVID year though, so it was completely different,
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Like there weren't even fans and nothing like that, so
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: it was just kind of like open gym.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was open gym.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: So like I mean it was just show up work
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: when you cook because you know, you had to swab
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Like it wasn't I ain't even really got nothing for you.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Like the completed like you know, it was the teams cool,
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: like playing with Bron, like you know, I got a
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: lot of respect for him and uh, you know all

• 42:43
  Speaker 3: through that just like yeah, just like you know, staying
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: with it, you know. But like seeing Bron's level of
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: attention to detail and stuff like that was was pretty impressive.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: You know, he's doing what he's doing four weeks.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: It ain't a mistake like he first one taped up,
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: you know, first one ice bags on already you know,
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: ready engaged, ready for film and all that kind of stuff.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Like he really cared about basketball. So like that kind
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: of environment. Yeah, it's it's cool, you.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Know for someone that feels that same way. You know,
• 43:22
