• 6:42
  Speaker 5: just try to just get a hustle, maybe do what

  Speaker 5: I didn't But by the grace of God, that last
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: day I got I was just so happened to get
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: qualified and not think I was passing that sat.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I did not think I was getting those grades. I was.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: It's up when I got through, when I got in
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: that door. Man, it's just God just work work with
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: you on just so many different places. And faith was strong, man,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: be honest with salute.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And it's like especially obviously were telling our age with this,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: but to hear that time period how many tients of
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: people had to wait for those type of tests. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: it's just like a lot of them tests ain't even
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: built for us to even pass or be successful in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: like not trying to be on a walk ship. But
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that stuff wasn't designed for us and better ourselves. So
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: it's just like for you to have to wait to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that last decision. Yeah, that shit is crazy.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: That's tough. I'm glad it worked out for you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But like take it on the lighter side, like coming
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: out of high school, how much money you think you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: would have got off there nil even though they paid you.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: But don't hearry about that, but if you would have
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: been coming out right now.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Low board number at least five hundred fast five hundred
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: bro fact because we came up in a time where
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: dudes was really official, Like you look at it now,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: it's a little bit of watered down and we kind
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: of contributed to that. But coming up, even looking back
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: on some of the highlights, I'm looking, I missed the
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: long shorts, just the small stuff about it. Like that's
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: what I love about our draft class, Like even though
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: we were all doing our own things, but we all love,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Like we always made sure we showed each other love.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: And that's a fact class that's hard.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I damn got everybody Jersey and our draft class beside
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: uh Ricky Rubio coincidence, Nah, I actually, man, just never
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: get shout to Ricky you bro give up.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I take a Barcelona Jersey man for sure. That's right. Bro,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Show love, Ricky, show love. Yeah. Man.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: The n il shit is so crazy because like working
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: with some of the top prospects going on now, like
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: they in high school seeing tickets before they even get
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to college.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and like it's so hard to keep them real then.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, it's just like I'm making
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: generational money at sixteen, What you're really gonna tell me?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And now they get so much money off the social
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: media sites. It's a totally different ball game. I think
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of that Camaradi is lost because everything is legitimately.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: A business now. Yeah, true? How do you come back that?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Like as far as like keeping them like, obviously you're
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: talking to the young kids, like I'm already at this level,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: but how do you keep the grounded? Obviously with you
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: coaching with the kids, Like how do y'all keep them
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: somewhat focused when it's so easy to get lost with
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: this shit?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Oh me, I just.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Try to It's so tough because I've never been in
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that position to make money in high school, so I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: don't even know how to navigate it for them. I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: can speak from like the NBA experience, like try to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: do this, try to do that. Like as far as
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: like saving and stuff, but like to get money at
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen, I don't. I can't help you because I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: don't know what I would have did at sixteen with
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars. I know what I did working
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: at Mayer with five hundred dollars, and that shit was
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: gone them yours and forces was every weekend, So I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: can't even imagine what they're doing, how they feel.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Hell yeah, my opinion. You gotta think about you gotta
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: look at the parents too. You gotta look at you
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: gotta zoom in on how the household is. Like half
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: of these kids not even checking that account. Moms and
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: dad or either just mom's got that account. He may
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: be doing little things, but the parents mostly getting all
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: the money. Then you got a crew he got. He
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: got his uncle, uncle, cousins, few guys, so he already
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: getting trained to be in that mindset of taking care
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: of the family already at seventeen. Before you know it,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: he'd be twenty two, twenty three pot broke, trying to
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: play overseas, trying to do what you gotta do, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: nobody's teaching them nothing because once the money's gone, they
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: don't tell you that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Everybody falls back.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: The only could fall back off you off just telling
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: you telling them no, I can't got it right now.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: But he don't know. He really messed up like that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, money go really quick, fellas, and I'm on
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: the back, in the back end of the bit, not
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: right now, and I'm just looking like, man, I got it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: I'm preparing for the next level, and I'm seeing a
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: lot of guys really not not there, like they really
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: still trying to get back into the league, wondering why
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be that kind of guy begging
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: like pick me, pick me up, please winden up. Why
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: can't I now just take it and keep it pushing?
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: This game is twisted for real. Yeah, now that's.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Real, and even I mean, we ain't gonna fast for
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: too much.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: But being a breadwin in your house if you get
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: drafted at twenty one twenty two is like you said
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: to be that at seventeen eighteen. That's an absurd amount
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: of pressure because they don't even know how taxes work yet.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: No, that's enough. That's tough.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Are you gonna I mean, you're gonna run through majority
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: of it. But hopefully they when they go to the
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Universal that's giving them some type of financial literature class
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: or something at least, bro, Yeah, just give them. Somebody
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: got to have a course, bro.

• 12:01
  Speaker 1: with this. The top one hundred camp. Yeah, they got
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: classes they gonna learn about that. But being around guys
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like Todd who've been in the league for a fifteen
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: plus years.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: It's like they can give you that advice.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Like I'm just saying that, somebody watching it gonna be like, Yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that's that's valuable, you know what I mean?

• 14:01
  Speaker 5: didn't understand like the real perception behind money, how to
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: be a pro. He's a he's a freshman, and I'm

• 14:10
  Speaker 5: how you supposed to carry it like And I'm not ashamed,

• 14:16
  Speaker 5: I'm always gonna give gods his flower. I learned a
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: lot from juice, and a lot of dudes get learned.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: A lot of Juice is giving out bread and making
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: sure a dude's ate. And people ain't gonna never tell
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: tell you.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: That about Juice.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: They gonna say he came, he was nice, he got
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: the bread, he took some bread and left. No Juice
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: got that bread. And Juice was making sure everybow on
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: the team had money. Yeah, if he went somewhere, we
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: was with him. So like, you gotta look at the
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: whole spectrum of this game. This is got to take
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: what you can can, take your family with you. Constantly
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: smile because he suck his boy. I think he's trying
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: to pull you down every minute of the game. That's
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: a fact.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Now we sull love the juice for real. Like, so

• 38:51
  Speaker 5: could it was nothing I could do. Just I'm just
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: I'm just standing here, but players like that, like I
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: just I'm just thankful to honestly get a chance to that. Seriously,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: get to stop him, because that next year he was
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: a whole different guys like him. Just I call the
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: guys like him alligators, tall big Paul's and they know
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: how to move. And then the first move they got
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: that spin and DeMarcus Cousins like certain guys when they
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: spin them shoulders hit you.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: You can't stop them. Better play.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: That's what I wanted to ask you. It was a
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: hell of a defender who was the toughest your toughest matchup.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Depends on what eras.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: The beginning of your career. Start getting Dirk KG.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: That's back when it was more like false physicality. It
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: had to be like at least two fortying up, power forward,
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: big Carlos Bulls of Josh Smith. It was always but
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: back then it was just unpredictable because you had different lineups,
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Like God, it was so many forwards like Josh Smith.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Uh, Dirt KG. You got Stack. It's then you go west.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: You still got on the arm, you still got Pile,
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: then you got l O coming off the bench.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Everybody was at least two fortying up. Yeah.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: Then now this era is just like you got a
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: few bigs, but it's like the top three bigs. I
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: can say, like four bigs off off top of my
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: dome and be he pick and choose when he wanted
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: to destroy you. He can just really just kill you instantly.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: But he's just like a fanessa til you get him mad.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: But if you play it psychology like he all midy joker,
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: he's just like I'm what, I'm sunning you and I'm
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: destroying you and I'm letting you know like no, you're
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: not my level. Different now at one point, I was like,
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: Cat is different. I tell him practice Cat.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Cat is like.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: He's different, like all the time for sure, graz But
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: people keep slat. I ain't gonna never slide on the mark.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: His cousins, no talents, his favorite player the best.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: That's my fast big pause. He like, if Roland have
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: got hurt and they wouldn't have played with him like
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: that in the NBA. I wish you would have signed
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: that contract in New Orleans. But he was a dog
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: bro that's twenty three and twelve.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: Allegate that because I say I'm saying he at least
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: over too fifty. Yes, he got moves and you can't
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: stop that spin when an alligator grab you.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: He's doing that spin. Take you underneath. It's over. That's
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: what he doing was right away.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: No.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: I remember one time we played them in New Orleans.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: They had Anthony Davis and they had a Cuz right
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: so before the game were about to play, tips like
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: you got a d to Tajty Cat, you got cut
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: fuck with you? He said, you got cuz. He was
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: like the first person to get one foul. Switch Cat,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Cuz get the ball first play Cat, just grabb me.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: Do switch.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: You even try to go to them. Look, cat, you
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna try. You know he had I didn't want
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: to with him. You seen that, maybe Marcus because everybody,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, switching figure something with them those U
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: K U K guy.
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: Maybe they be having some little in the beef. I
