  Speaker 5: you're gonna do because half the time you might guard him,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: you might not, but what you're gonna bring to the table.

  Speaker 5: She didn't believe. He said, you just figure out a way.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: He always wanted me to score and always wanted me

  Speaker 5: we was going against in a big game, whoever their
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: best player, best player was. I mean, he just wanted
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: me to go go after him, and uh so it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: just that's that's definitely part of the story. And uh
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: because you know that I was going to gainst A
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: lot of good players were talking about you, Michael Conley, Golden,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: the list goes on for real them of course, baking
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: them ship. Did you ever play? Uh what ship? Walter
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: was hyped back.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Then a little bit.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: I mean see what we've even played against Gordon Hayward
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: and Brownsburg. We traveled and I mean we traveled. I
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: mean we were traveling everywhere he played too, he started laughing.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Hold I did.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: That switch was crazy, motherfucker.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I don't set a pick on me so hard to
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: the ground for speed.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: That's what when we get to the high school stuff. Though,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you was a part of one of the best ATU
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: teams ever. Man, we talk about it all the time.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: How was that like planning that experience with that crazy
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: ass team? Did y'all know y'all was that good at
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the time?
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: No, we knew that was We knew there you talking
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: about speech Indie heat Absolutely, yeah, No, we we knew
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: that we were that good because we we were body
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: and we weren't trying to be like most people. Most
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: kids out there trying to score thirty forty fifty points.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: I mean the average I would say the high score
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: of that game probably would had eighteen sixteen. And everybody
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: shared the ball, everybody, and we won every game, like
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: every game that we when we were all healthy, we
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: won every game. So but I think in three summers,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: only lost probably two three games. Yeah, I was, I
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: was whooping. Ship. You ever remember one of your toughest
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: matchups back then, because when you played little Will Lou
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Williams was a major problem. I've never seen too many
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: guys like him in high school. I mean I remember
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: that d game which Georgia wh he had an NBA
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: game in high school, Like he played like how he is,
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: but imagine way more athletic, and Lou Will would dunk
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: on you in high school too, Like there was he
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: he was.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Lou was a proud Yeah, he was made shout.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like what he was doing the NBA. I mean
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: he in high school. I mean it was just with
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: more athletics.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: But that's what I tell people about you, Like when
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: we go to when we got when you got to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the league, and shit, everybody was like, man.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I'm like, man, I should have seen how athletic he
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: was in high school.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, the fucker dunk on a free throw line
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a type of crazy ship like, and people know you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: as a shooter. I'm like, he was shooting like that,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: but that used to dunk on everybody.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I said I did early on in my
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: career before I had those injuries during my time in

  Speaker 1: Now we know he was one heat, but you know
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You finished your career with a different
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: team and was the reason he got dunked on court.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: And I remember that game too because I felt like
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: there was some calls getting missed and we were up
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: and we were pissed off and then.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Ship No, I just that's when I say, yeah, he
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the best player in the country was between you and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Bees because Bees did us bad. And then we was
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: being young and you went off for like thirty five
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in the second half. I'm like, this, motherfucker, here's crazy man,

  Speaker 5: against one another and uh, we always and then we
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: played against each other in a regular high school game
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: and so uh and then we was like, you know,

  Speaker 5: I was like, you know what, let's just drawing forces.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: And they were like, for sure, let's just make that happen.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: And uh, I mean I had a That team was fun, man,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: but we only had six seven big players.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah they y'all didn't need nobody else.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I ain't had no real big man. I mean Tim

  Speaker 6: My heart was always an Indiana.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: I always wanted to play at IU always, so uh
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: but you know it all worked out at the end.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: I went to you, he went to Memphis. But sure
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: I thought I thought we were both gonna go TOU
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: at one point.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. It's crazy they try to put us in
• 11:57

  Speaker 5: I'm not going there there automatic number one like after Gate,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah I did. I mean, you always love the how
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: you growing up.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: But okay, and.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Because I know I wasn't gonna go far. I wanted
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: my parents and I wanted my family to go to
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: every game. So that was that was the main thing
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: for sure. I mean before we get to the college.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: So we got to talk about one of the most
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: of stored high school basketball games of all time. What
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: you did to the Jordan kids in North Central Bro
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: was very disrespectful but still one of the best things ever.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: But please recap that because, like you said, you're going
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to say these games hating everybody possible.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: The batterial back because what you did is them, Bro,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: that looked personal.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Before you start, I just want to say big shout
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: out to Marcus Jordan. Go ahead.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: If Marcus would have had we had, they might have won.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: You know, I didn't know anything about Loyola Academy, but
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: you know, first thing to kind of my mind, you
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: know at Chicago school. You know, I thought, you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: but then when we when I watched him on film,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: and I was like, you know, everything's evolved around the
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Jordan kids, like they're the best players on the team,
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: and and their team was small, and I was like, okay,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: every time when I get the ball, if I don't
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: have a catch and shoot, I'm going down. I'm taking
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: it to the rack like every time, or I'm gonna
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: at least try to dunk. But the main thing with
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: what I really wanted was to do one of Jordan's
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: dunks in end game.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Respectful Broby, he did he right, he's so disrespectful.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: With Jordan and the crowd.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: What was that a fifty piece?
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: What you have? I think it was close by, I
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: don't know the exact number.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Crying. Then they had the air of Gordy Jerseys. I
• 14:26

• 15:33
  Speaker 5: I mean some of the best days my life was there.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: So the fuck fight you can change in our coach
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: and it wasn't no Irriantine.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Forty four merch.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: They had none of that. Only think we had a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: pet rally. We didn't even have a real student section
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: for for real.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: Let you do talking crazy though, Yeah, talking shit.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about that. That that senior year mashed up
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: beginning of the year. It was always a common thing tradition.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Pipe played North Central first game of the year, y'all
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: senior years. You know what I'm saying, you was going away,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: You're going to IU. That's another legendary high school game.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I was that from your side, and he talked about
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: how you walking to it, Like what would your mind
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: say going into that. I was always underrated, so I
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: knew he was the number one player almost in the country.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I was like one hundred or something. So I was
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: just trying to let people know I can hoop. I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: was just trying to go out there and have a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: good show. But we used to beat them all the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: time before, so I knew. He was like, yeah, it's
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: my time to beat the ass. Like I was like,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: he's gonna come in here on some ship. I ain't
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: really got reinforcements like I used to have, you.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Know, load and we needed to be loaded.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, it's just me and my guy. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: feel Kyle ain't never played varsity. Fucking I'm about to
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: shoot this one. So we was having him back and forth,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and at the end of the game, he did what
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: he had to do.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: You killed though, Bro.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: It looks like thirty three point wise something like that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, he you did get it going.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: And uh, I just knew like he would always be
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: up there, like he's always gonna have a good game.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Like I knew a lot of those things. And uh
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: uh because if if he does well, Pike does well.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: You know, even though they got other guys that can
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: do some things, because y'all still had Cordell pass league
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Kyle and Phil and uh big Dennis. Yeah, y'all had
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Big Auto though, bro Otto was a motherfucking problem back
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: in the night to play.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: And then you'll had a gang coach there. Now we
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: didn't know him yet. He came to Senior. I don't
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: even know he could hoop. He came out hooping. Yeah,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: because we just talked. We just game planning for you
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and your brother and Ida. That was it. He's like
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: everybody else fucking this little dude came out there hooping.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, damn, that was a good game for sure,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: classic game for Shure. And like you said, you know
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you go to IU. I had a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: hell of a You had a hell of a freshman year. Man,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I had a sad ass squad. How was that, steff
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: like playing at that level? Because you know what I'm saying,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: playing it simply all was different?
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: No, it was differently. No, we had a rocket and uh,
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: we just went through so.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Much adversity throughout that whole you know, freshman year because
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: we were talented as hell. I mean I mean every
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: practice and you know, every to every game. I mean
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: you play against good teams, and I mean we just
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: had a whip, you know, DJ White and Jordan Crawford
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: coming off the bench.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: You had our mind on my basket. Yes, sorry, and you.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Had a uh JaMarcus Ellis Tone Marcus pieces in peace
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: for him, and we had you know, land Stem. I mean,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: we just had a lot of guys. You know, I
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: can name the whole team easily, but we just had
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: we did have a squad and uh uh I just hated.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I would love to see how far we could have
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: went if they didn't fire Sampson.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: That's that was the thing.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: That's crazy, would you.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we didn't think he was going back,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: but like that playout, like you said, how like heavy
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: was that moment because you was killing but you could
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: see everybody like stopped that a hope when that shit
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: came out. So like, dealing with that in university different
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: than deal with that in the high school because you
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: know that's administry stuff, but you on campus, you got
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: to see it here and now, like y'all going through that,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: like like you said, the issues he was going through,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: and I saying internally with the team going through the tournament,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: you was like, all right, now I gotta look focused
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: now you like, shit, I love college, but I know
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I'm about to go to the least. Now I gotta
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: kind of think about me more than the team. But
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: how is that mental process?
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Well, it was a lot mentally because I mean as
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: soon as Samson got fired. The next day I practice,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: I see four motherfuckers in the gym, and it was
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: it was just weird because I wanted to win. I
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: still wanted to win, but it was just such everybody
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: was distraught because you know, I mean that team was
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: just so talented and we were so into with that coach.
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: What I mean, with Samson and U. I mean, it
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: just kind of broke us apart.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: But me mentally, I mean I still had to I mean,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: I still had to do what I had to do
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: as far as trying to get to the leg.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: I miss.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: I even fractured my risks, uh during the during practice
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: one day.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: I mean, we go to the doctor. Doctor said, oh man,
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: you fractured your risk. You're gonna You're gonna be out
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: for a little while.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: And after that doctor's part, my dad said, fuck that
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: taking that ship up.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: And we're still playing, I think, and we had to play.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: I'll never forget we played.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: Had to play against Wisconsin like two days later with
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: a fractured risks so damn Yeah.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Went to a location boy locked in.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Jackson, I thought, I think it said it hard going up.

  Speaker 5: How was that? No, I mean getting drafted was. I mean,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: that was a great experience and my rookie year, I

  Speaker 3: My boy went to LA. Yeah, that was hell get

  Speaker 5: was like, what are we doing here? You know?
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: So, uh, kids got it good today.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: I mean you could be these young kids now, the
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: guys that get drafted, I mean they get the keys
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: handed to him from day one, because I think everybody
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: in my draft only d Rose was the only one
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: that started, and everybody else had to work their way
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: to starting and figuring out their way throughout the throughout
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: the year. They gave you the keys.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: It was up.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you start night.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Doing what he do best.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: What what was that changing point though? Like what game?

• 22:37
  Speaker 5: the coaching staff, like what like all right, give Eric
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: the ball now? God damn it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: I mean there was I mean there was a lot.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: I got into it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: I remember I got in trouble a little bit with
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: the team, and but things just turned out for me
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: because you know, a lot of guys were injured. I
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: think Baron Davis was injured and all that, and then
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: uh then I got to start a lot of guys
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: got injured. So I got my star and I never
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: forget It's against New Orleans against CP three, and uh
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: next thing, you know, we won like.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Three four games in a row, even though we still.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Went like twenty and sixty two. I was trying to Yeah,
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: we as, but uh but that's kind of solidified. And
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: you know my career and I you know, I did
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: well and I started to find my way and be myself.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: That's why I feeled that they helped your confidence out
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: a lot in the NBA. Like, damn, I'm averaging twenty
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: in the league. We losing. I want to win, but shit,
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: I'm killing.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I remember how strong this motherfucker was.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: When he came back after his rookie season, he was
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: working out with Chris we was over there that best choice.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: He called me up there.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I was getting ready to go to the draft, and
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I came up there and I looked what the fuck?
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I was like, Nah, Chris is like, you gotta get
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: bigger man. I'm like, shit, looked like the rock I'm
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: gonna do with that?
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: Like that's what the.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Guards look like. Mann, I ain't gonna make it. You said,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: like be here. When Gordon came back.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Especially Schwartz of God going, Hayward, I love you. You
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: know you my one of my guys. He was on
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: that ship. Don't nobody My boy just returned. So we
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: can speak that my boy, that vein in this stick.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: I was coming back to Swallow came back to campus
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: because he was skinny. He was skinny his whole life. Yeah, shut,
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: he got to the.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Damn mare what the league? Or is like his last
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: year Butler?
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: Last year, his last year Butler.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I remember, like I was on campus at the time,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: and I was all right, but we kept in there
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: at that that's a pro. But when he came back
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: that first year from the Jazz, I'm like, damn, like
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: you hit a growth spurt of twenty two?
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Did that slow you down though getting bigger? Or did
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: that you feel like that helped you? No, it helped
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: me because my game was all about contact. Every time
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: I get in the basket, I'm all I was looking
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: for it. So you know, because I believe in every
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: time I look for contact, I don't don't even really
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: have to be sometimes, I don't have to feel like
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: I have to be explosive getting to the rim.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: So okay, using the science, using the VET tricks, learn
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: how to score professionally. It's crazy. I never really put
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: to it to together. Now you was on the Donald
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: style clipper. That is crazy? Is greaty, That's no wonder
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: why there was a lot of issues you go to
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: the White.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Party three years three years of it, biggest ship.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: In the directors. They said, yeah, a white party on
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: the show. I just want to see that's true.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: That's that is crazy. But like you said, one of
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: your best games against New Orleans, you didn't know you
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: was auditioning. You know what I'm saying that you go
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: to a boy had to leave Sonny LA for New Orleans. Man,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: how was that transition your first taste of the basketball business?
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Man? I was, I'm not gonna lie. I was pissed.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: I was pissed because during that time, people forget I
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: was supposed to sign like a max deal with with La,
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: like right then and there.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: And then uh that's when we had the lockout.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: And once we got back from there, I mean I
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: was they were promised like you're gonna be here for
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: five years, this and that because the trade was done.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: I mean it was supposed to be. I think, uh,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Bledsoe came in and alfru alfa roup and and then
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: we thought that. Then once they backed out of it,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: I guess they were someonemight have probably went to the
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: gym and and they just threw me in there and
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: the rest was history. And I, you know, I was
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: a little bit confused, and I was younger too, so
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: and then when I got to New Orleans, like I
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: wanted to do well, but I had already got injured.
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: I was already injured.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: And you know, people down there, they just thought I
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: just didn't give it them or anything while I was
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: down there. But but uh, but they a couple of
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: years earl when I got to New Orleans, we went
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: to the playoffs. And I don't know what people be
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: getting mad for down there.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: That's a lot to ask for down there. Be grateful.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: New Orleans is cool city. Though it is, it is
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: cool city. But nah, going from l A to New
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Orleans is like me going from Atlanta.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: By saying.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Here it is, it's like Atlanta to it back home.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: It's crazy. It's like it's a different toll. It's like, man,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, being from here made it a little easier,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: but the way life.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Is a different for sure. I gotta ask you don't
• 27:34

  Speaker 5: all the time.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: You know, it was.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, it was easy to win. Like, it was
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: very easy to win. We just hoop our coach. I mean,
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: he was a big part of it. Dan Tony was
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: a big part of it. He let us be us.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: We followed, you know, his scheme, but at the end
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: of the day, you know, he just let us be
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: us and he made it fun. You know, his experience
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: made it fun. But uh, but yeah, I mean like
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: we had a hell of a team. James was, I
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: mean being around him, working with him every every day,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: a special player. But we had a lot of other.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Guys that I mean it was y'all had a squad, No,
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: we did have a squad for years.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Yea, I had a squad.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Bro What was that like, like embracing that six man road,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Like coming from being a starter, it ain't going to
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: being like a six man And then like embracing the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: rod and then like really really flourishing in it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Though. Yeah, because during my time in New Orleans, you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: I was like, I'm going to go to after I
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: left there, I was like, I'm going to go to
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: a team where I just want to win and I'll
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: figure out the rest. Like I'm just gonna figure it out.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna be injured. I'm going to figure out
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: ways to be injured and just go out there and play.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: And uh, I didn't care what if I started or not.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: But as soon as I got there, I was like,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: they gave me a you know, a formula to to
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: what I needed to do. You know, they didn't care
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: if I ever practiced. They was like, we just want
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: you to be healthy to love and uh, you know,
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: great training staff, good you know medical staff and everything
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: and uh.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: But after that, I was I just embraced it. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: think I was like, I don't care, I'm gonna win
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: six Menut of the Year.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: I want to you know, knocking out knock down a
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: lot of threes during d'antoni's play because you know how
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: that that it was difficult to guards show.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: And that was perfect for the way you played basketball. Like,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: oh no, just layups and three of course he.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: Can do that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, see everybody.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: The funny thing is everybody wants to talk about doing that,
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: but you got to still be able to, you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: move the ball. You know, if you don't have a
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: clear cut lay up or what not, then somebody else
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: has to be open. So but it was it was
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: good basketball, y'all.
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: Was tough to play.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: We played on the playoffs.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: Like that sweet out of there. Y'all got one game,
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: didn't you? Minnesota?
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: Y'all cook that game?
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: You're right, we didn't get.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: I cooked that for me. I'm like, at least I
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: got one year.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: They got I had one good game.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: That's crazy they listen, you know, So we can't talk
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: about James hard too much in this podcast. You'll beginning
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: with it, but we're not gonna let that legacy down down.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: You saw it first hand, like James Harden was really
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: killing everybody trying to act like that did not happen.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: It's weird that that he wasn't kidding.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: They try to they try to downplay that now like
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: it was just okay because of the Luca stuff.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: I might know.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: James Harden was really destroying ship.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: If y'all didn't run into the Warriors, it's a different
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: conversation and even some of the stuff that happened with
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: like don't pull his hand stright, y'all win that seriously
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: for sure?
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I truly believe if CP didn't and get injured,
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: we would have we would have won that year.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: I really do think want the championship.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they had the beat for sure, I would m
• 31:08
