- 4:24Speaker 4: He's like yeah. I was like. Coach battle was like
- 4:27Speaker 4: he cold, man, he cold? And I was like he cold.
- 4:30Speaker 4: He was like, he ain't gonna be with us very long?
- 4:34Speaker 4: What you mean by that? He was like, he's gonna
- 4:35Speaker 4: go to the NBA. Damn. That was right.
- 4:39Speaker 7: It was Coach battles Man. He was right about a
- 4:42Speaker 7: lot of things. Coach, what made you choose White? Like,
- 4:47Speaker 7: what made you commit?
- 4:49Speaker 5: I went on my visit them niggas was weak and
- 4:53Speaker 5: I was.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Tell tru.
- 5:03Speaker 7: It was a weak and out I said, oh no,
- 5:04Speaker 7: I'm gonna play here right away, okay.
- 5:11Speaker 4: Right away.
- 5:12Speaker 7: And this is before you I mean, I ain't know
- 5:14Speaker 7: him like that now. I know h l D even
- 5:18Speaker 7: camp before you left, you know what I mean?
- 5:20Speaker 5: It was?
- 5:22Speaker 7: It was definitely a business decision, more than more than
- 5:26Speaker 7: anything else. Shout out Pat Kelsey as well, you know,
- 5:28Speaker 7: making turn the Louisville around too. But sir, he came
- 5:32Speaker 7: around make sure make sure that uh Wake Forest was
- 5:36Speaker 7: the top priority for me too as well.
- 5:38Speaker 5: So hell of a scout, hell of a coach.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Yeah, a cool dude, man, come on, man, getting the
- 5:45Speaker 2: bill back right for short y'all had a crazy introduction
- 5:47Speaker 2: to college though for both of y'all obviously what happened
- 5:50Speaker 2: to RP coach processes. But what was that, Like I'm saying,
- 5:52Speaker 2: linking up getting on campus and then deal with that
- 5:54Speaker 2: before you get into school or school even start.
- 5:57Speaker 4: For real, I was I was one of the most like.
- 6:05Speaker 7: Overwhelming I thought, I think that college ever was at
- 6:09Speaker 7: that time. Bro, Like after that happened, I'm like, there's
- 6:11Speaker 7: nothing else really that can go on that can like us.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:16Speaker 7: Yeah, So even even even that alone was like playing
- 6:21Speaker 7: pressure free because we knew, like deep down our loyalty.
- 6:25Speaker 5: I mean that we deserve this for our.
- 6:27Speaker 7: Loyalty because anybody you could have just left, you knowee
- 6:30Speaker 7: what I'm saying with no penalty or the portal and
- 6:34Speaker 7: all this shit.
- 6:35Speaker 5: They got going on.
- 6:36Speaker 7: Now, it's like you leave now it's good money, but
- 6:39Speaker 7: you you you leave back then you said now the
- 6:42Speaker 7: year you know what I'm saying. But that wasn't the
- 6:45Speaker 7: case for us, Like we got to go to choose
- 6:47Speaker 7: any school we wanted to and with no no penalties
- 6:51Speaker 7: of trading schools or whatever.
- 6:53Speaker 4: So I think it was our loyalty.
- 6:56Speaker 7: And like I said, after something like that happened, I
- 6:58Speaker 7: don't think nothing really can shake you in college.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember the day you remember he took us
- 7:04Speaker 2: to McDonald's that nigga drunk out my shape, no disrespect
- 7:09Speaker 2: r I P.
- 7:12Speaker 8: He drunk out my shake. I was sitting in the front.
- 7:14Speaker 8: He was like, my points, God got to be in
- 7:16Speaker 8: the front, you know what I mean? So JJ and
- 7:18Speaker 8: he was in the back and he drunk out my shape.
- 7:20Speaker 4: I remember.
- 7:21Speaker 8: I was like when he drunk my shake and j
- 7:23Speaker 8: J was like, that's his shake. Now after that you
- 7:27Speaker 8: passed away. I was like, Ship, I don't want no
- 7:29Speaker 8: more shakes, Like that's crazy.
- 7:34Speaker 4: And not just be yeah how long?
- 7:40Speaker 5: Like oh Ship? He didn't.
- 7:41Speaker 8: We had went to he dropped us off. We went
- 7:44Speaker 8: up to uh study tables. He went to his office
- 7:48Speaker 8: and they was like he was running on the track.
- 7:50Speaker 8: He's been there for an hour. They came and got us.
- 7:53Speaker 5: Damn bro. I never considered transferring.
- 7:59Speaker 8: I did because I only knew coach battle Yeah and
- 8:02Speaker 8: coach Prosser. I never met coach Kelson. Now and I'm like, ship,
- 8:09Speaker 8: who's gonna be the coach? They like coach Gattio.
- 8:14Speaker 7: And there was bulches out there happened like I'm getting
- 8:16Speaker 7: text message from other coaches like yo, come here and
- 8:20Speaker 7: come to our school.
- 8:21Speaker 5: You'll play this.
- 8:22Speaker 7: I'm like, damn, they ain't even checking out or nothing
- 8:26Speaker 7: like you to pull up sad for sure, But I was.
- 8:31Speaker 4: I ain't no coach Gattio at all. But we all

- 8:38Speaker 7: and everything. Man, I ain't no, I ain't no Gaudio.
- 8:41Speaker 5: What was next up?
- 8:42Speaker 8: I remember they just had us at coach p house
- 8:45Speaker 8: for like five hours. They didn't tell us nothing, you remember, right,
- 8:49Speaker 8: they were just down there eating pizza Chrispy Krean all
- 8:53Speaker 8: type of ship.
- 8:53Speaker 4: You know.
- 8:54Speaker 8: I'm a kid at the time, eighteen, Yeah, like this
- 8:57Speaker 8: ship cool like bang telling us. So we just think
- 9:01Speaker 8: we having a good that time of coach pls And
- 9:04Speaker 8: they finally told us like Damn.
- 9:06Speaker 2: That's nuts, bro, man, that's crazy to start your college
- 9:09Speaker 2: screw off like that before I even get into like
- 9:11Speaker 2: real campus life and shi like that.
- 9:13Speaker 4: That was crazy. Damn did I fuck with the new coach.
- 9:16Speaker 4: At first, it was always cool.
- 9:20Speaker 8: With me with him, that's gay, get along game. I
- 9:36Speaker 8: noticed Will, what's he going to do with this? It
- 9:39Speaker 8: was like I ain't fucking got.
- 9:42Speaker 4: No, but he was.
- 9:44Speaker 5: He was so good though.
- 9:45Speaker 7: Jeff was so good, like it was undeniably like you're
- 9:48Speaker 7: supposed to be starting.
- 9:50Speaker 5: I'm knocking nobody, like they know how we feel.
- 9:52Speaker 7: This all about yeah, but now Jeff was always always
- 9:57Speaker 7: better than everybody real, like he do moves what they
- 10:01Speaker 7: used to call you by any means necessary.
- 10:04Speaker 5: He used to call means necessary.
- 10:13Speaker 7: I don't know Jeff like that, but he used to
- 10:19Speaker 7: get a bucket any way on five on one, you
- 10:23Speaker 7: know what I mean. So it was like people looked
- 10:26Speaker 7: up to Jeff, but Jeff was always silent, like you
- 10:28Speaker 7: had to really know Jeff. I think the person who
- 10:30Speaker 7: got the best Jeff for real is it is Gary Clark,
- 10:35Speaker 7: his roommate, another fellow fresh like him and g like
- 10:40Speaker 7: shared a different bond, but me and him we shared
- 10:42Speaker 7: the were the best player on the team bond. And
- 10:49Speaker 7: there's how we carried it this year. It was like
- 10:54Speaker 7: it was like it was like me have pushed each
- 10:58Speaker 7: other in that sense, and then we upstairs late night
- 11:01Speaker 7: playing one on one the gym only ones, and that
- 11:03Speaker 7: we be in there Saturdays Fridays till three in the morning,
- 11:06Speaker 7: two in the morning playing once you know what I mean.
- 11:09Speaker 7: So it was always mutual. But like I said, L. D.
- 11:12Speaker 7: Williams was was was great for us. Is Smith obviously
- 11:15Speaker 7: an NBA legend as well in my heart the game
- 11:21Speaker 7: with his speed and all that.
- 11:22Speaker 5: He's a student of the game, all that. Chase Alfarok.
- 11:26Speaker 7: Obviously Al Fruit came in with our Fruit came in
- 11:29Speaker 7: all right, there was there was no longer two best players.
- 11:37Speaker 5: Came into that. Now we had three best players.
- 11:41Speaker 7: Were different. We carried a different bond too. Like I
- 11:46Speaker 7: remember when Al Fruit came on his visit. He came
- 11:48Speaker 7: on his visit and I was what they called chaperone.
- 11:54Speaker 7: He was a guy to his guide or whatever man.
- 11:59Speaker 7: He probably stand wake Forest was giving it up like
- 12:01Speaker 7: that at the time. But right when he got there,
- 12:03Speaker 7: I think he saw a football football fight, two girls
- 12:06Speaker 7: fighting the hallway. You I mean, I ain't gonna say
- 12:10Speaker 7: who picked that up? That's good you got it back.
- 12:23Speaker 4: It was crazy, it was. He was not ready to
- 12:25Speaker 4: go out.
- 12:25Speaker 5: He was like yo, coming away.
- 12:27Speaker 4: We knew he was coming.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Remember a white dude, Ryan Kelly came through and we
- 12:31Speaker 2: had all them fights.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Yeah, m going, we had like ten fights. Bro.
- 12:36Speaker 8: He ended up going to Duke though. We heard Yeah,
- 12:39Speaker 8: Ryan Kelly, you scared of the ship out, you know.
- 12:42Speaker 8: But it wasn't much. It was wake force.
- 12:44Speaker 4: Like I never said that about.
- 12:47Speaker 7: Even know was it wasn't just basketball, Yeah, niggas. What
- 12:53Speaker 7: all from Florida? Uh yeah, I mean all from Florida,
- 12:57Speaker 7: my niggas. It was wild enough.
- 13:01Speaker 4: About all the fights.
- 13:02Speaker 2: It was hello fights. It was Hello fight. We were
- 13:06Speaker 2: just talking about what downstairs, but it was hell yeah.
- 13:09Speaker 7: It was fights. Mutual respect and uh, how was our
- 13:13Speaker 7: relationship with the football team? Niggas was cool?
- 13:17Speaker 4: I mean me and Jeffly, you know.
- 13:19Speaker 8: I mean, I'm gonna go through the first because he
- 13:21Speaker 8: made us cool with the football team because they kept
- 13:25Speaker 8: calling me Mike Conley when I first got there, Oh lord,
- 13:28Speaker 8: and I was like, y'all stop calling I don't like
- 13:31Speaker 8: that ship and uh, me and j J and G
- 13:35Speaker 8: we was all just starting to get cool, like we're
- 13:37Speaker 8: just starting to figure each other out. And dude called
- 13:39Speaker 8: me Mike Conley again, and I got shitty and JJ
- 13:42Speaker 8: was like, Hey, my nigga, if you call me Mike
- 13:43Speaker 8: Conley again, gonna beat your ass.
- 13:45Speaker 4: And football nigga like what nigga? And the l D
- 13:51Speaker 4: was like, nah, he'll beat yours. He was like He's like, here,
- 14:02Speaker 4: beat your ass, dude. Chill. That's how we got cool
- 14:05Speaker 4: with the football players.
- 14:06Speaker 5: Okay, okay, but then all of them turned out young
- 14:09Speaker 5: in turn.
- 14:11Speaker 7: But good guys, good character, a lot of chip bond
- 14:14Speaker 7: that's my brother, Aaron Curry.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Yeah, a c ac even Fawns. Man.
- 14:20Speaker 7: I know a lot of people going, I'm gonna get
- 14:22Speaker 7: backlashing that with the basketball.
- 14:24Speaker 4: But Smith was cool, great human. Oh man.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Obviously your freshman year, I get in there. You know
- 14:38Speaker 2: what I'm saying, y'all get active. I have a little
- 14:40Speaker 2: bit of success. But let's talk about going into that
- 14:42Speaker 2: second year where it got real. Y'all was nasty. What
- 14:46Speaker 2: was that feeling?
- 14:46Speaker 7: Like?
- 14:46Speaker 1: Man?
- 14:48Speaker 5: Shit, Jeff made us feel untouchable for real, No, no bullshit,
- 14:52Speaker 5: I mean, like, keep it a being like we went
- 14:55Speaker 5: to Collige. I think we went to California right that
- 14:58Speaker 5: seventy six classic.
- 15:00Speaker 7: Yeah, Anaheim Classic or whatever. Jeff went crazy, yo. One
- 15:06Speaker 7: of the dudes were watching my films. This thinka jumping
- 15:09Speaker 7: out the gym? What do you play for Bullerton Coah,
- 15:14Speaker 7: I forget the brother's name, but some was bouncy. So
- 15:19Speaker 7: Jeff get a still. I think you get a still.
- 15:21Speaker 7: Some are rebound. He take off, Jeff take off on
- 15:24Speaker 7: Bro punch him. I think after that, everybody knew he
- 15:27Speaker 7: was gonna win that tournament. Like there was mad teams
- 15:31Speaker 7: there too. We didn't, but like I said, Jeff led
- 15:34Speaker 7: the way with that and h our sophomore year. He
- 15:38Speaker 7: was a killer man, all them accolades, everything that that
- 15:40Speaker 7: shit was well deserved, especially like our team.
- 15:43Speaker 5: You know what I mean, we were stacked, y'all start
- 15:46Speaker 5: off no more.
- 15:47Speaker 4: Nah, we start off like twenty five. Damn we got
- 15:50Speaker 4: to one though.
- 15:51Speaker 8: That's because of them though they was they was special, bro,
- 15:54Speaker 8: Like our practices, we all was assholes in our own
- 15:58Speaker 8: right right, always like assholes. Like one thing about JJ,
- 16:03Speaker 8: he always practiced hard. It was give it, give me
- 16:07Speaker 8: a day or two.
- 16:08Speaker 7: I'm like, you know it always there's no practice all
- 16:13Speaker 7: knowing day.
- 16:17Speaker 4: You can't be a practice all American Jack.
- 16:20Speaker 2: He always practiced hard and he rolls the level of
- 16:23Speaker 2: practice every day. But he you see his energy. He
- 16:26Speaker 2: always talking. He always was like the vibes and our
- 16:29Speaker 2: freshman year he was like that. So now I know
- 16:31Speaker 2: him as a sophomore. So they always just rolled like
- 16:34Speaker 2: they made me better player. They did that like I
- 16:37Speaker 2: knew they was going to the NBA.

- 18:50Speaker 8: million dollars bro. No, after your Probably I.
- 18:55Speaker 5: Probably would have been in trouble summertime.
- 18:57Speaker 4: For what.
- 19:03Speaker 7: I mean that like these kids nowadays, they got they
- 19:06Speaker 7: learned about this, you know what I mean, Like we
- 19:08Speaker 7: didn't learn about that ship coming up or even.
- 19:11Speaker 5: Or even while we was there.
- 19:12Speaker 7: In fact, now they're getting this so Paul, so so
- 19:15Speaker 7: so fast that they're prepared. Their parents are preparing them
- 19:19Speaker 7: for it, they got managers preparing them for it. Yeah,
- 19:22Speaker 7: you know what I mean, shout out to them. Obviously
- 19:24Speaker 7: they should be getting this bread. But but they're more prepared.

- 19:31Speaker 4: Media this era.

- 19:57Speaker 4: Yeah, he probably people to go there and get that,

- 37:02Speaker 7: Like, bro, Man, rookie year? I have Annie del Negro
- 37:08Speaker 7: and I swear he ain't playing me because he went
- 37:10Speaker 7: to NC State.
- 37:13Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 37:14Speaker 5: That's bro, That's what I felt.
- 37:18Speaker 7: But it started off with it like I'm playing summer
- 37:22Speaker 7: league first, right, I feel like I'm one of the
- 37:25Speaker 7: best players. Obviously, summer league and regular season even some
- 37:28Speaker 7: of the league and preseason is two different level.
- 37:30Speaker 4: For sure, you know what I'm saying.
- 37:32Speaker 7: Yeah, but even then preseason came, I felt like I
- 37:34Speaker 7: was still one of the best. And you know, every
- 37:37Speaker 7: team I've ever been on, I've been that nigga or
- 37:40Speaker 7: one of them that niggas what I'm saying. And so
- 37:45Speaker 7: I get I get there, I get to Chicago and
- 37:47Speaker 7: I feel I still feel like that. You know, my confidence,
- 37:50Speaker 7: I really feel like it's through the roof. It mean,
- 37:52Speaker 7: my work atic all that. So I get there first
- 37:58Speaker 7: thirty forty games, I don't even play.
- 38:00Speaker 4: I was right with you, brother, at all, I.
- 38:03Speaker 7: Don't play, and I got great guess too. Like Brad Miller,
- 38:07Speaker 7: Kurt hyin Ray, Derek always was like, keep me humble
- 38:11Speaker 7: with it, like, bro, look where you at. You know
- 38:14Speaker 7: before before Derek was the philosopher that these guys know,
- 38:18Speaker 7: Like I know that the young just second in the league.
- 38:21Speaker 5: Derek, you know what I'm saying, still was kicking knowledge
- 38:24Speaker 5: even that young.
- 38:24Speaker 7: I feel like that's why Lou said what he said,
- 38:27Speaker 7: Joe Kim said what he said a bottom about even
- 38:30Speaker 7: though he was younger, that they still listened to him
- 38:32Speaker 7: like he was older and felt like he was older
- 38:34Speaker 7: the way he spoke.
- 38:35Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
- 38:36Speaker 7: So, but anyway, I'm with him, keeping he keeping me
- 38:39Speaker 7: humble with it. But at the end of the day,
- 38:42Speaker 7: I'm young. I got more money than I ever had
- 38:45Speaker 7: in my life.
- 38:47Speaker 4: You feel me, and I'm going out. Yeah, I'm going outside,
- 38:55Speaker 4: like for really real.
- 38:56Speaker 7: And you know you you young, like I said, naive,
- 38:59Speaker 7: so you feel like you damn they're punishing them, you're
- 39:02Speaker 7: not playing you and not not giving you this opportunity
- 39:05Speaker 7: and all that not knowing you sabotaging yourself and your
- 39:08Speaker 7: self worth.
- 39:09Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
- 39:09Speaker 7: You know they say the less you've seen the more,
- 39:12Speaker 7: the more money you get paid for your appearance. You
- 39:16Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. I was the opposite. I'm going
- 39:19Speaker 7: I'm going to the spots for free, you know what
- 39:21Speaker 7: I'm saying. And that shit was really the start of
- 39:25Speaker 7: a of a bad side of the league where you
- 39:29Speaker 7: don't want to be in. You knowee what I'm saying.
- 39:30Speaker 7: Right where they start getting opinions and and shit starts
- 39:35Speaker 7: getting fabricated and you can't stop. It's a snowball fact.
- 39:39Speaker 7: But long story short, that shit came with it. And
- 39:41Speaker 7: then Lou gets hurt. Dang gets hurt. I get my opportunity,
- 39:46Speaker 7: I start playing. I'm playing well, but I'm still young
- 39:52Speaker 7: and dumb. Yo, you get what I'm saying. I'm still outside,
- 39:55Speaker 7: I'm still wilding and I'm playing at this point. So
- 39:58Speaker 7: it's like, yo, all I gotta do at this point
- 40:00Speaker 7: do everything I love to do with who you know
- 40:03Speaker 7: what I mean, work out, go inside, repeat you gee
- 40:07Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. And uh wait, so you're still
- 40:10Speaker 7: going outside every night?
- 40:12Speaker 4: Man? You got that t.
- 40:15Speaker 7: Man, I'm outside. I keep n okay, I'm outside every night.
- 40:22Speaker 7: I'm getting I'm getting real, you know what I'm saying,
- 40:25Speaker 7: funny shit like, so so I'm doing that while I'm
- 40:30Speaker 7: while I'm getting the minutes now that I want it.
- 40:32Speaker 7: But now I'm coming back and uh the next day,
- 40:36Speaker 7: shoot around, I'm smelling.
- 40:37Speaker 4: Wow, you know what I mean.
- 40:38Speaker 5: Like, you can't brust that ship off. You know what
- 40:40Speaker 5: I'm saying.
- 40:41Speaker 7: You can't shower that ship off soon as you start
- 40:42Speaker 7: sweating outside, I mean yeah, yeah, so I don't know this,
- 40:49Speaker 7: you know what I mean, I'm not aware of this.
- 40:50Speaker 7: And then you know, the older guys is telling me, oh, Jay,
- 40:53Speaker 7: like you gotta stay away from coaches.
- 40:55Speaker 5: You gotta do this.
- 40:55Speaker 7: They're doing their due diligence as far as like being
- 40:58Speaker 7: great vets like it had nothing.
- 41:00Speaker 5: To do with them doing this shit to myself.
- 41:03Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, thinking I'm hurting something that really, nigga,
- 41:08Speaker 7: all they do is just get another asset. You know
- 41:10Speaker 7: what I'm saying, I'm not realizing that. I'm thinking the
- 41:13Speaker 7: NBA need James Johnson. No, nigga, James Johnson need the lead.
- 41:20Speaker 7: And so that ship, that ship right there was It
- 41:23Speaker 7: was an eye open especially after your first year, you know,
- 41:25Speaker 7: back in the g like you signed two years, two
- 41:28Speaker 7: years guaranteed and the other one is a team option.
- 41:31Speaker 7: But after your first year, that's where they decide if
- 41:34Speaker 7: they're going to keep your option.
- 41:35Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 41:37Speaker 7: So I'm going into the team meeting, They're like, yo,
- 41:39Speaker 7: we don't want to do this, but you work hard.
- 41:41Speaker 7: You know the normal like threatening, get your shit together,
- 41:45Speaker 7: we want you and all that. But by that time,
- 41:49Speaker 7: it was too far gone down Vinnie Negro's gone, Thibodeaux comes,
- 41:53Speaker 7: you know what I mean. Thibodeau's coming on fresh off
- 41:55Speaker 7: of championship, so he knows from defense head coach Championship.
- 42:00Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying with Doc, like it has
- 42:01Speaker 7: pedigree on him. So it's like he knows what he's
- 42:03Speaker 7: talking about. This and net on first day of practice,
- 42:07Speaker 7: some put me on the Penny team and back then
- 42:10Speaker 7: there is no two ways and nothing like that. Penny
- 42:12Speaker 7: team is the niggas that's trying to make a team,
- 42:14Speaker 7: trying to make that last spot.
- 42:16Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
- 42:17Speaker 7: And I'm guaranteed at this time, So I'm like, he
- 42:20Speaker 7: don't know me from nothing. This is before I knew TIBs.
- 42:22Speaker 7: Like as a man, well, I respect Tis with everything,
- 42:25Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, Like Tips is a great
- 42:28Speaker 7: coach and a great human to me, like I have
- 42:30Speaker 7: go with TIBs. But at that time, like he's trying
- 42:34Speaker 7: to raise the nigga that was already raised by something
- 42:37Speaker 7: far more worse than him. You know what I'm saying,
- 42:40Speaker 7: my father far more worse than you. So them intimidation
- 42:44Speaker 7: ship that don't scare me. You gee, what I'm saying,
- 42:47Speaker 7: but anyway, get traded from there, go to Toronto.
- 42:51Speaker 5: I'm in Toronto. I'm in Toronto loving it. I'm getting
- 42:57Speaker 5: getting a chance. My first game Toronto was against the Bulls.
- 43:02Speaker 5: Let's start, we get that dub, you know what I mean?
- 43:06Speaker 5: Coach coach Traill J Traill j T.
- 43:09Speaker 7: He was like, uh yeah, yeah, I love that guy.
- 43:13Speaker 7: He's the one who really gave me my first chance
- 43:15Speaker 7: to like go get a bucket, go hoop, Like, don't
- 43:17Speaker 7: look at me when you make mistakes and ship, because
- 43:20Speaker 7: you know this this game will cause anxiety and niggas,
- 43:23Speaker 7: Like if you let it break you. You know what
- 43:26Speaker 7: I'm saying, You let that ship break you. Every time
- 43:28Speaker 7: you grab the ball, like your eye is gonna get wild.
- 43:30Speaker 7: You just want to make the right play. You don't
- 43:32Speaker 7: want to fuck up all that ship. So it's like
- 43:35Speaker 7: if you let it break you. They're psychiatrists in the
- 43:39Speaker 7: buildings for ship like that. God know what I'm saying.
- 43:42Speaker 2: That's the interesting you say that because they always talk
- 43:44Speaker 2: about people who transition the league is, oh, he was
- 43:46Speaker 2: so good in college here all this stuff, Why is
- 43:48Speaker 2: he only doing this particular role. It's just like dog,
- 43:50Speaker 2: he doing this wrong because he's trying to feed his family,
- 43:53Speaker 2: but he's trying to make sure he make this next time. Yeah,
- 43:55Speaker 2: he can do all that ship. He trying to do
- 43:56Speaker 2: this and not mess up, and that can just kind
- 43:58Speaker 2: of limit your game.
- 43:59Speaker 5: Try to do that at a high level and then's
- 44:01Speaker 5: still mixing.
- 44:02Speaker 4: Yeah, you know how it is.
- 44:03Speaker 7: But that ship is taxing, especially on your mind frame.
- 44:07Speaker 7: But like I said, if you let it break you
- 44:09Speaker 7: in the psychiatrists for ship.
- 44:12Speaker 4: Like that, I fucked.
- 44:14Speaker 8: I fucked with the journey because I would say me
- 44:16Speaker 8: and you close, I knew it, and I remember, I
- 44:20Speaker 8: remember when things been a little different and you came
- 44:23Speaker 8: to the Hawks, remember and we was talking.
- 44:25Speaker 4: You was trying.
- 44:26Speaker 8: I was like, damn, JJ gonna be on the Hawks
- 44:28Speaker 8: on me because he made he was on the team.
- 44:30Speaker 8: But my nigga is so competitive, he was about to
- 44:33Speaker 8: make the team, so competitive. They love him. Be him
- 44:36Speaker 8: talking to me like JJ, man, this is what we
- 44:38Speaker 8: was missing. It's the perfect piece. But we go play
- 44:40Speaker 8: baseball and this dude we call him good at everything,
- 44:45Speaker 8: like we call him we say he's he's great at life,
- 44:47Speaker 8: like he does everything well. So I didn't know this
- 44:50Speaker 8: need to play baseball right, So we playing baseball. I'm okay,
- 44:54Speaker 8: Kyle Korps, real good, all these guys. It's a pop
- 44:57Speaker 8: fly ball, boom outfield, JJ. Coach Budd about to get it.
- 45:02Speaker 8: He loved baseball. This is primary sport.
- 45:05Speaker 4: JJ. Let me get that. Coach Bud like he can't
- 45:11Speaker 4: play here? What he was?
- 45:15Speaker 7: You know he was shight what so this was for
- 45:21Speaker 7: out three. I'm not sure his old ass even sold.
- 45:27Speaker 2: Me.
- 45:27Speaker 4: I'm a better on myself. I'm anna, man, mean, he
- 45:31Speaker 4: should have sawd the aspect on that side spectrums was
- 45:36Speaker 4: but even wrong.
- 45:38Speaker 5: But you know you're wrong.
- 45:40Speaker 8: But I remember the day I know we I'm fast
- 45:43Speaker 8: forward in your career because I want to talk about
- 45:45Speaker 8: Memphis part when you went to Memphis, because he really
- 45:47Speaker 8: turned up. But I remember when we played Miami. He
- 45:50Speaker 8: was in Miami and you hooping, he running the pick
- 45:54Speaker 8: and roll seventy seven, doing his ship. And I remember
- 45:57Speaker 8: coming to the bench, you know, I was, I asked.
- 45:58Speaker 8: I was like, god, damn, we could have had that
- 45:59Speaker 8: ship it and Coach said, fucked up, funked up. I
- 46:06Speaker 8: fucked up, that's wuck up. And you might say something
- 46:09Speaker 8: to you. And I came up to me because he
- 46:11Speaker 8: was just like, he's like, he's such a good player.
- 46:14Speaker 8: These are the players that you need. He's going to
- 46:16Speaker 8: change the game. It was him and Draymond. He was like,
- 46:18Speaker 8: they're like point guards that play the four position. You
- 46:21Speaker 8: can put them on anybody you can. And he was
- 46:24Speaker 8: just giving Jack so much praise. And that was.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Just like the NBA is bro And that's that's why
- 46:30Speaker 3: I said, that's why I'll because niggas wouldn't know. That's
- 46:33Speaker 3: why niggas don't be in certain places, like Nigga, I'm
- 46:37Speaker 3: way better than you at baseball. Don't make this about
- 46:41Speaker 3: me being on this fucking team.
- 46:42Speaker 4: You know, I'm shitty. He knows, Nigga. Everybody was, Yeah,
- 46:50Speaker 4: he's gotta.
- 46:51Speaker 5: Need more pig for a catching.
- 46:56Speaker 4: Nigga need to be behind the bat a man. He
- 47:00Speaker 4: got for real.
- 47:01Speaker 8: Everybody, like the whole coaching staff was hype about I
- 47:06Speaker 8: was hype.
- 47:06Speaker 7: NBA, especially after training camp. I'm like, yo, I got
- 47:10Speaker 7: my guard back playing. That's for getting out.
- 47:13Speaker 5: Yeah, we got charge for that.
- 47:18Speaker 8: But to me, it's a great thing because I think
- 47:21Speaker 8: you went to a place really find your your skill
- 47:25Speaker 8: set and showed you what you do really well. He
- 47:28Speaker 8: went to Miami turned up.
- 47:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:30Speaker 7: Now after Atlanta, I went to Memphis. Yeah, and that's
- 47:33Speaker 7: what I really turned up for a little. You put
- 47:36Speaker 7: on a show in Memphis.
- 47:37Speaker 2: I was having a ball in Memphis, and they let
- 47:40Speaker 2: you cook, They let you play your right right some
- 47:43Speaker 2: of them highlights, bro crazy?
- 47:45Speaker 4: How was that going there? Though?
- 47:46Speaker 5: They embrace you right away. Yeah, most definitely.
- 47:50Speaker 7: Like I said, like you can carry baggage with you, right,
- 47:54Speaker 7: it's good. All of mine was pretty much bad. It
- 47:58Speaker 7: was like, you know what I mean, I'm at the
- 48:00Speaker 7: into my end. I just went to Atlanta, tried out
- 48:02Speaker 7: for the team, got cut gear me so like I'm
- 48:06Speaker 7: in the G League playing, and then Memphis ten day
- 48:10Speaker 7: when I went there, it was like more like they
- 48:11Speaker 7: wasn't judging me. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. It
- 48:15Speaker 7: was more like, you know, how bad can this nigga be?
- 48:18Speaker 8: Man?
- 48:19Speaker 7: We got we got Zach Randolph and Tony Allen. He sure,
- 48:25Speaker 7: And I think I jailed with I jailed with the team.
- 48:27Speaker 7: I jailed with the management just off the strength of that.
- 48:30Speaker 7: Like you know what I'm saying. They didn't look at
- 48:31Speaker 7: me like the the person everybody else or the other
- 48:34Speaker 7: gems might have passed on or whatever.
- 48:35Speaker 4: It was more like, No.
- 48:37Speaker 7: That's what their culture is about over there, you know
- 48:40Speaker 7: what I mean. But they do teach you how to
- 48:42Speaker 7: be a professional obviously. I mean they got ways around.
- 48:46Speaker 4: That for sure.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Yeah that's Jeff around too much. We talked about Miami Heat, sure,
- 48:53Speaker 2: heat culture. A lot of that is old to you,
- 48:56Speaker 2: if you know, you know for sure, what is that
- 48:58Speaker 2: moment like making a South beach you know I'm saying,
- 49:00Speaker 2: having some real successful years down there?
- 49:02Speaker 4: Man, man, nah it was. You know.
- 49:05Speaker 5: I give a lot. I give a lot of credit
- 49:07Speaker 5: to you, Dannis.
- 49:08Speaker 7: I always I always have because he held a standard,
- 49:11Speaker 7: you know what I mean. He wouldn't let you saddle
- 49:13Speaker 7: over there. I'm talking about with anything for the single niggas,
- 49:18Speaker 7: you know what I'm talking about. He helped y'all out
- 49:22Speaker 7: the club for real a lot of times.
- 49:25Speaker 4: That's real though. Championships, respect and beyond that obviously.
- 49:31Speaker 7: But he's one who really like showed like how to
- 49:34Speaker 7: be tight knit and trust each other because you know,
- 49:36Speaker 7: the league is all about. Yeah yeah, I trust you,
- 49:38Speaker 7: but I want your minutes. Yeah yeah, I trust you,
- 49:42Speaker 7: but I want you to fuck up.
- 49:44Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
- 49:45Speaker 7: And I feel like he was already above that by
- 49:48Speaker 7: winning the championship and understanding what it took to be
- 49:51Speaker 7: a champion. So I think off Rip obviously everybody in
- 49:56Speaker 7: the gym, when everybody on the team had no respect
- 49:59Speaker 7: for him, but being able to to play basketball. And
- 50:06Speaker 7: even this is like even during the like the pickup days,
- 50:10Speaker 7: you know, the pickup days before the presiear starts and
- 50:12Speaker 7: even all that shit starts, so like it's pickup days
- 50:15Speaker 7: and coach out there like YEO, whoever the best players,
- 50:20Speaker 7: that's what's gonna play. You fee what I'm saying, Like,
- 50:23Speaker 7: you know, we came in and O nine, it wasn't
- 50:25Speaker 7: always the best player was gonna play with the nigga
- 50:28Speaker 7: was getting the most money play exactly like you could
- 50:31Speaker 7: be ten times better than the person making at this
- 50:34Speaker 7: time fifteen fifteen million dollars for three years, four years.
- 50:37Speaker 7: That was big chicken, great money back then. And so
- 50:42Speaker 7: and so you finally get to the heat where they're like, yo,
- 50:45Speaker 7: you get to play your brand of basketball, and if
- 50:48Speaker 7: you're the best player, I hear you going to play now.
- 50:51Speaker 7: I think everybody felt a way about that where it
- 50:54Speaker 7: just brought out the best and everybody on top of
- 50:56Speaker 7: ud obviously harping on like we bill champions, heare we
- 51:01Speaker 7: champions around here, and I wanted to win one of
- 51:04Speaker 7: them so bad, so bad over there, especially especially for you.
- 51:08Speaker 7: Donna's Like I feel like for u, d I think
- 51:12Speaker 7: he wanted us to win it more for us, more
- 51:14Speaker 7: than we wanted to win it. More for us, you
- 51:16Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. So that should show you, like
- 51:19Speaker 7: the humility he has and a given kind of person
- 51:22Speaker 7: is gonna at the time, he was thirty six too,
- 51:24Speaker 7: like thirty six, thirty seven, Oh yeah.
- 51:26Speaker 5: Like twenty sixteen, sixteen, twenty seventeen.
- 51:30Speaker 7: Yeah, oh, but that's not that to me. That's not
- 51:32Speaker 7: like old the hoop, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 51:35Speaker 7: to me, like I signed with the team and I'm
- 51:37Speaker 7: thirty six, thirty seven. I think if I have a
- 51:39Speaker 7: good training camp, I give myself a chance.
- 51:41Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, you played he was
- 51:44Speaker 4: forty two, boy, damn.
- 51:46Speaker 7: Yeah, because he got second running seventy sevens with dragons,
- 51:51Speaker 7: go live the White Side and uh picking rolls and
- 51:54Speaker 7: handing the ball off Dwayne Ellington, Tyler Johnson. Of course,
- 51:57Speaker 7: that's my fans that's my man's man's like you know
- 52:01Speaker 7: what I mean, the Johnson name says says enough, But that's.
- 52:03Speaker 3: My mansle Whiteside was crazy. He was who man, he
- 52:08Speaker 3: was nasty bro.
- 52:09Speaker 7: He's really the one who changed the whole like body
- 52:12Speaker 7: fast ship like that nigga came in inhumane. He was like
- 52:17Speaker 7: seven foot tall two fifty four four or five percent
- 52:21Speaker 7: body fat. Niggas was like, yo, dunk, he's a dunk everything.
- 52:26Speaker 7: And then also everybody ship had had to get down
- 52:29Speaker 7: past that. It was like you used to be alright
- 52:31Speaker 7: with seven that don't need you ass six?
- 52:34Speaker 4: That ship really like that, man, what you didn't believe it?
- 52:38Speaker 7: I mean I believe it, but I'm talking about well,
- 52:42Speaker 7: I'm so fucked up that even if I look at
- 52:44Speaker 7: the scale, I know I pictured Miami heat.
- 52:48Speaker 4: Locker room. You know me, You don't me j C.
- 52:56Speaker 4: My should always been bad.
- 52:58Speaker 5: I can't go a week without without working out or something.
- 53:01Speaker 7: Ship that's that I'm like a half somen so I
- 53:04Speaker 7: think like that part of me that should get big
- 53:06Speaker 7: quick for sure, too quick. So like I always had
- 53:10Speaker 7: a thing about that. But that that ship is when
- 53:14Speaker 7: you got there though they're finding you they're losing bread
- 53:19Speaker 7: damn because you're eating crazy.
- 53:26Speaker 3: It's crazy broke cut their on what I'm saying about.
- 53:33Speaker 4: They hold you.
- 53:35Speaker 7: To a standard though that that even yourself didn't didn't
- 53:39Speaker 7: know you was capable of. You know what I'm saying,
- 53:42Speaker 7: And that's one thing I will say about my That's
- 53:44Speaker 7: why I feel genuinely that's why they can get second
- 53:47Speaker 7: round picks and no, no, not not drafted at all
- 53:51Speaker 7: and then make gym.
- 53:53Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 53:54Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely evident as well, because, like you said,
- 53:57Speaker 2: a lot of people who go to Miami where was
- 53:58Speaker 2: getting that ship off?
- 53:59Speaker 4: Man?
- 53:59Speaker 2: Where he was you on whop you're gonna get on
- 54:01Speaker 2: this court? He did not discriminate at all.
- 54:03Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
- 54:04Speaker 7: They give everybody a shot, so I naturally feel like
- 54:07Speaker 7: that brings the best out of you, naturally because you
- 54:10Speaker 7: have a shot to play, not off off of anything
- 54:13Speaker 7: else that goes on around the bubble of the league. Strictly,
- 54:17Speaker 7: Am I a better basketball player than this guy on
- 54:20Speaker 7: my team?
- 54:23Speaker 4: You know, we move around a little bit. What was
- 54:24Speaker 4: one of your favorite season to play?
- 54:26Speaker 7: I'm always gonna love Toronto Chicago obviously, you know what
- 54:30Speaker 7: I mean. You get drafted in Chicago. I feel like
- 54:33Speaker 7: you're a kid. You grow up watching Jordan's so yeah,
- 54:37Speaker 7: you get there. You see all the the trophies, is Jersey,
- 54:41Speaker 7: the banners, and just automatically feel like this is what
- 54:45Speaker 7: you're supposed to be. You know what I mean, you dreamed
- 54:47Speaker 7: about shit like that. So I think the bulls for
- 54:49Speaker 7: sure of Miami. Obviously still love Miami. I still live
- 54:54Speaker 7: in Miami. Beautiful city.
- 54:59Speaker 5: In Memphis, I'm gonna have a Memphis.

- 56:25Speaker 5: a play. You're making a play.
- 56:26Speaker 7: It's more of a raw ray your team up while
- 56:29Speaker 7: we're scared of this team, while we getting thug bullied
- 56:31Speaker 7: by this team. So like as a basketball player, I understand,
- 56:35Speaker 7: like I said, but we cleared up other ship.
- 56:43Speaker 4: I figured out.
- 56:44Speaker 5: I got a texted him, unifier.

- 56:59Speaker 2: We played the Ackey Bucks man and shit got real tricky, man,
- 57:03Speaker 2: and they played in our face. Man, and then it
- 57:05Speaker 2: was only right man. They had to go get the
- 57:06Speaker 2: legend for our team.
- 57:07Speaker 4: Man.
- 57:07Speaker 2: When you pulled up to that, man, all things been
- 57:10Speaker 2: great ever since. Man, what wasn't like we got the
- 57:11Speaker 2: call to pull up in the city, man.
- 57:13Speaker 7: Ship, I was I was extounded, Like I said, bro,
- 57:18Speaker 7: I've seen the build up. I seen the first year
- 57:20Speaker 7: we was here.
- 57:20Speaker 4: Yeah, we didn't go to the off.
- 57:22Speaker 5: And then the second year we were like yo, we
- 57:26Speaker 5: were in this ship. You know what I'm saying.
- 57:27Speaker 8: You thought, y'all, I'll we wanted your to win just
- 57:34Speaker 8: for the city. But did you'll think y'all gonna really
- 57:36Speaker 8: want that game? Step trying hurt?
- 57:39Speaker 4: Yo?
- 57:39Speaker 7: How do you not think that that was hoping. He
- 57:42Speaker 7: was hoping, Bro run and his stories. Bro, I feel
- 57:46Speaker 7: like if it wasn't winning it, that was the only
- 57:48Speaker 7: other way. Yeah, Bro, there was only two outcomes. He
- 57:52Speaker 7: was gonna win a chip or that was going to happen.
- 57:55Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
- 57:56Speaker 7: Hot, Okay, see great players, great team all. Like the
- 58:01Speaker 7: way it was, the way he was, the way he
- 58:02Speaker 7: wanted to start the game. Like you know, normally you
- 58:06Speaker 7: know his game. Normally he's gonna get involved, get people involved.
- 58:09Speaker 7: He might give you you give me the open three,
- 58:11Speaker 7: I'm gonna take it and be honest, then I'm gonna spray.
- 58:13Speaker 4: I'm throwing it up exactly. Aggress was exactly. We've seen
- 58:19Speaker 4: this before.
- 58:20Speaker 2: Anytimes came out that aggressive, we was getting the dub.
- 58:23Speaker 2: History shows every time he came out that aggressive way.
- 58:26Speaker 4: The numbers keep it real.
- 58:27Speaker 2: But outside the unfortunately happened. That was I talk to
- 58:30Speaker 2: you all the time man. Obviously we ain't got a ship.
- 58:32Speaker 2: But that is one of the crazy playoff runs that
- 58:34Speaker 2: I ever got to witness, especially as a fan.
- 58:36Speaker 4: Like you been around it. What was a vibe like, man,
- 58:38Speaker 4: because I was just whooping everybody, Bro.
- 58:40Speaker 5: I'm telling you it was normal.
- 58:44Speaker 7: Especially Andrew like he like does a great job of
- 58:47Speaker 7: like he don't get too high too low because they
- 58:50Speaker 7: even killed killer, you know what I'm saying. Past obviously
- 58:53Speaker 7: you know his vibe. So like Tyrese, he was the
- 58:57Speaker 7: more of the one that was just like, yo, we
- 58:59Speaker 7: got this many more this mean you know what I mean.
- 59:02Speaker 7: But we've seen this ship over and over again, even
- 59:05Speaker 7: before this, this crazy run like what he did, what
- 59:08Speaker 7: he did in the Spurs in Paris, that's sixteen old,
- 59:11Speaker 7: thirteen old run by himself.
- 59:13Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. I mean, DJ talks
- 59:19Speaker 4: about it, y'all. Niggas had a chance, he did. We

- 59:26Speaker 4: no way, you.
- 59:28Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying, y'all. I'm saying, y'all could have
- 59:30Speaker 3: if he didn't get hurt. That ship he's turned.
- 59:35Speaker 7: I'm saying is just look at look at the end
- 59:37Speaker 7: of the half. Look at after he got injured, and
- 59:40Speaker 7: see what the score is going into halftime.
- 59:44Speaker 3: No, I'm saying what I'm saying, think about these niggas.
- 59:47Speaker 3: Someone y'all could waitness motherfucker for real. Like we wanted
- 59:51Speaker 3: to win for the city for our show, we had
- 59:54Speaker 3: to do like we ain't known give me he asked, niggas,
- 59:57Speaker 3: but we had to create some ship for the show

- 1:00:30Speaker 2: the game the other day Nicks and the Cats. Absolutely,
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: so what y'all did is basically what the Knicks did
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: to the Cat.
