- 3:36Speaker 1: the team. You know, he played here and there and

- 3:43Speaker 1: probably kind of still upset about this situation. I'm saying
- 3:46Speaker 1: how transpired. So it's okay, you know what I'm saying,
- 3:50Speaker 1: Like you said, get well soon. But you know, I'm
- 3:55Speaker 1: super hospitable, so when you come to Atlanta, it's like
- 3:59Speaker 1: really in the hospitality when you my pottn you know
- 4:02Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So as a you know, as a
- 4:04Speaker 1: he was a football player. So when he came to Atlanta,
- 4:10Speaker 1: I had an I used to have a condo. Uh
- 4:13Speaker 1: so it was over there by Linux. I'm not gonna
- 4:19Speaker 1: say the address, you know what I'm saying, but recipes

- 4:26Speaker 1: when he came in town, I give him a uh
- 4:29Speaker 1: you know, I give him a car and he could
- 4:30Speaker 1: stay over there with his homeboys. It was like a
- 4:32Speaker 1: three little three bedroom, little little condo. So uh, he
- 4:35Speaker 1: would come over. He would come over like doing Uh
- 4:39Speaker 1: what is it like bye weeks off season stuff. So
- 4:43Speaker 1: you know, he came to a game, you know, so

- 4:47Speaker 1: gave tickets. He looking at he looking at team not playing.

- 4:54Speaker 1: couple of guys like in his mind, like the last
- 4:56Speaker 1: guys like that that ain't really playing. Like He's like, well,
- 4:59Speaker 1: I got team. So I'm like, no, the fuck you don't, bro,

- 5:10Speaker 1: this nigga. You know what I'm saying, Like, man, men
- 5:12Speaker 1: gonna drag gas. You know what I'm saying. So I'm
- 5:14Speaker 1: basically taking up for my teammate. You know what I'm saying.
- 5:17Speaker 1: You my brother, You my partner. You know what I'm saying.
- 5:20Speaker 1: You are my family. But you know, at this time,
- 5:22Speaker 1: T is like my my, my, my rookie. You know
- 5:25Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like my rook my young guy
- 5:28Speaker 1: molding him to the game. So I'm like, hell, nah,
- 5:32Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
- 5:32Speaker 5: So he like, mack.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Sh you want to get this at this at this point,
- 5:39Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you want to get away free money,
- 5:41Speaker 1: Like this is free money. It's just like football, like
- 5:44Speaker 1: you catch it, you catch a little nigga and it's
- 5:46Speaker 1: prime that ain't playing. He might have just made a
- 5:49Speaker 1: fifty man roster or something like that, whatever it is.
- 5:51Speaker 1: And I'm sitting back like, man, why he don't never play?
- 5:55Speaker 1: He's Jersey stay clean, five four out of five on him. Uh,
- 6:00Speaker 1: it's a dB like a wide receive. If I can school man,
- 6:04Speaker 1: he's gonna be like, man, let's line it up. Then,
- 6:06Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Okay, you want to hand
- 6:08Speaker 1: out free money. And then what people don't understand is
- 6:11Speaker 1: right in today's society. In today's world, a lot of
- 6:14Speaker 1: these guys don't gamble, you know what I'm saying, So,
- 6:17Speaker 1: which is respectable? You know what I'm saying. You know,
- 6:19Speaker 1: it causes a lot of friction. Uh. You know a
- 6:22Speaker 1: lot of people don't want to pay sometimes when they
- 6:24Speaker 1: see them different tabs going out, so you know, like
- 6:27Speaker 1: so they try to avoid that type of uh atmosphere.
- 6:31Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, which is okay, well we
- 6:33Speaker 1: do gamble, I have to cut you off.
- 6:35Speaker 4: We gambled with draft kicks saying.
- 6:41Speaker 1: But what I'm saying, like, you know, like back in
- 6:44Speaker 1: the day before what is it called draft king? Okay,
- 6:49Speaker 1: drafted Okay? So what else? So before all that, we
- 7:00Speaker 1: was really gambling, you know what I'm saying. Like he
- 7:02Speaker 1: was like bringing in and he was bringing your hand
- 7:05Speaker 1: in hand, comment, hand in hand combat, you know what
- 7:08Speaker 1: I'm saying. So so like hey, look from other from look,
- 7:12Speaker 1: he understands this stuff. So it was it was times
- 7:15Speaker 1: where Recipes shot it low. It was it was like
- 7:18Speaker 1: you know, he had he had he had a squad
- 7:20Speaker 1: where he you know, he gambled and you know what
- 7:22Speaker 1: I'm saying, and he came in town. See, he can't
- 7:25Speaker 1: really be mad at this situation because it was another
- 7:28Speaker 1: situation when shot when they was playing video games, you
- 7:33Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And he was like, man, I'm finela,
- 7:37Speaker 1: I'm fineling, I'm finna, I'm finna. Gamble shot it low,
- 7:39Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm fine. Gamble shot a load on him
- 7:41Speaker 1: and and two came out. I'm like, don't do it.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I'm telling his ad like because he's my partner. Yeah,
- 7:47Speaker 1: I'm like, look, man, them folks, them folks, them folks
- 7:50Speaker 1: got there they got they got a nigga got there
- 7:52Speaker 1: right in the nation. You know what I'm saying. You
- 7:58Speaker 1: know what I'm saying out his business. So he like, no,
- 8:02Speaker 1: we got a lie right cool ship. So the next
- 8:05Speaker 1: day I come over to the spot. It's quieting. The
- 8:07Speaker 1: motherfucker got he on the laptop. You have the wire.
- 8:13Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Because you know that's another
- 8:16Speaker 1: little little incident. I was like, look, don't do it.
- 8:18Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But you know, hey, he
- 8:21Speaker 1: can't be mad at this situation for me wanting to
- 8:23Speaker 1: get free money. Like at the end of the day,
- 8:25Speaker 1: the ship, it didn't go down, So no one needs
- 8:29Speaker 1: to be mad at no scenario. It wasn't. It was
- 8:31Speaker 1: just a scenario that happened. You backed out, which was
- 8:35Speaker 1: the smart thing to do. Yeah, you know what I'm saying,
- 8:38Speaker 1: because somebody probably called your phone like hey, look man,
- 8:41Speaker 1: chill out. You know what I'm saying. I know, I
- 8:43Speaker 1: know that's what probably really happened. Like, nah, for sure,

- 11:10Speaker 2: You had no dad dudes as a coach, especially to
- 11:12Speaker 2: ADU programs. How was that transition? Like, you know what
- 11:14Speaker 2: I'm saying, because you got to talked about the daddy life.
- 11:16Speaker 2: You got you know what I'm saying. Short of going

- 11:20Speaker 2: up for you. You know what I'm saying, Pipe gett
- 11:22Speaker 2: into it. How is that a year later for.

- 11:26Speaker 1: I mean, uh, it's it's just our transition, you know.
- 11:31Speaker 1: It just shows shows the world that we still love
- 11:34Speaker 1: the game of basketball and uh, and we're willing to
- 11:38Speaker 1: pass pass on pretty much free information. If he's a
- 11:42Speaker 1: if he's a head coach at the high school, it's
- 11:44Speaker 1: damned near free information. It's like, this is what I
- 11:48Speaker 1: keep telling the parents of my My, My My program.
- 11:53Speaker 1: It's like where you want to get your kids too?
- 11:57Speaker 1: If you want to get him to the NBA, okay, cool,
- 11:59Speaker 1: If you want to get to the NBA, it's like
- 12:02Speaker 1: answers to a test, you know what I'm saying. Like
- 12:04Speaker 1: we have the answers to the test. So it's like
- 12:07Speaker 1: you're you you want to take a test blindly, not
- 12:11Speaker 1: not dealing with guys like me and team you get
- 12:14Speaker 1: what I'm saying, or guys like Rajon Rondo and other
- 12:17Speaker 1: guys like that. You know what I'm saying. So if
- 12:19Speaker 1: it's guys that are willing to come down and really
- 12:22Speaker 1: basically give you. It's not it's like it's costing us
- 12:25Speaker 1: more to be in a situation dealing with your kids
- 12:31Speaker 1: and surrounding and putting putting them down on different information.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Because it's not only about showing them the extras and
- 12:37Speaker 1: nose and showing them how to be a basketball player
- 12:39Speaker 1: when they're around us, We're showing them how to be
- 12:41Speaker 1: men too, you know what I'm saying, Like how to
- 12:43Speaker 1: carry them said, how to carry themselves because that shit
- 12:47Speaker 1: matters too, you know what I'm saying. If you, if you,
- 12:49Speaker 1: if you listen to a lot of these pro athletes
- 12:54Speaker 1: that are on these on these platforms, they'll tell you
- 12:58Speaker 1: that the guys that are that were in their class,
- 13:02Speaker 1: that were the coders, they didn't make it, you know
- 13:04Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And they're the ones that made it.
- 13:07Speaker 1: So what is that telling you? What is that telling you?
- 13:12Speaker 1: Like they was telling me that team brother was better
- 13:14Speaker 1: than him, I was I'm trying to you know what
- 13:16Speaker 1: i mean. So I'm like, you know, he's he's a
- 13:19Speaker 1: he's a great player, you know what I'm saying. But
- 13:22Speaker 1: you know, like those are big shoes to feel when
- 13:25Speaker 1: you get talking talking different comparisons with guys that are
- 13:28Speaker 1: ahead of you in life. You know what I'm saying, Like,
- 13:31Speaker 1: I got three sons, so I don't want I don't
- 13:33Speaker 1: want nobody say Okay, oh Jed is better than Josh
- 13:38Speaker 1: because it's like shit, not Josh is like man, you
- 13:41Speaker 1: got me fucked up. You know what I'm saying, like
- 13:44Speaker 1: real talk like, but it is not. It's not like
- 13:47Speaker 1: I know, like when you when we get when you
- 13:48Speaker 1: get to that stage when you have different sons, you
- 13:51Speaker 1: teach them to let them know that they're not competing
- 13:53Speaker 1: with each other as well. Well.
- 13:56Speaker 4: It's kind of like a healthy thing though, because Mama,
- 13:58Speaker 4: people will say, like your brother is better, I'm shit cool,
- 14:00Speaker 4: if he better than me.
- 14:01Speaker 1: We're about to be stranged. That's like that's what.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm like, lord, because because people don't understand the
- 14:12Speaker 6: pressure that that like every year like a guy that
- 14:17Speaker 6: makes it pass.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, six seven years in the league. You
- 14:22Speaker 1: gotta respect that. You gotta respect that God, because man,
- 14:26Speaker 1: they printing and knew him every year. That's a fact
- 14:28Speaker 1: they're printing and knew him like that, Like that's what
- 14:32Speaker 1: That's what people got to understand, Like once they find
- 14:36Speaker 1: find out that you have something different. They're trying to
- 14:39Speaker 1: find you in another person because they know that they
- 14:43Speaker 1: have to drop the bag on you and they don't
- 14:44Speaker 1: want to do it, you know what I'm saying. That's why,
- 14:47Speaker 1: like just like Denver, never be the same, you know
- 14:51Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And that's because you you lose guys
- 14:55Speaker 1: like Coentavious Kywell Pope, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 14:58Speaker 1: guys that can still play another eight years in this
- 15:01Speaker 1: league at the pace that he's playing, because all you're
- 15:05Speaker 1: asking him to do is be a three and D
- 15:08Speaker 1: and he could be more. He's more capable player, but
- 15:12Speaker 1: if you if you ask him to do that, that
- 15:14Speaker 1: creates more longevity in his career, you know what I'm saying.
- 15:17Speaker 1: So it's like it's kind of it's kind of hard
- 15:20Speaker 1: to and he's a hell of.
- 15:22Speaker 4: A floor spacer, so like, but they ruined that because,
- 15:25Speaker 4: like you said, they think they can find that in somebody.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Absolutely that if Okay, this the league is a copycat league,
- 15:33Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, which is probably like the
- 15:35Speaker 1: NFL MLB two. Once they find out a guy a
- 15:38Speaker 1: team won NBA championship, that's the norm. Until they find
- 15:43Speaker 1: out it's only one Steph Curry, It's only fucking won
- 15:46Speaker 1: Klay Thompson, you know what I'm saying. So it's like
- 15:51Speaker 1: when the win the championship on how you gonna win?
- 15:54Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. When I like so it
- 15:57Speaker 1: just if they didn't learn that ship from the Lakers,
- 16:00Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And they when they had
- 16:02Speaker 1: brought the d White and JaVale McGee in there and
- 16:06Speaker 1: they've seen that they needed those two guys in order
- 16:09Speaker 1: to defeat the Kolokic, then they wanted they won a championship.
- 16:15Speaker 1: They felt like, okay, we we got we could just
- 16:17Speaker 1: we could just get like two stale bigs in their
- 16:20Speaker 1: eyes like that can just rebound that we can we
- 16:23Speaker 1: can basically make you know, we can make puppets and
- 16:27Speaker 1: we can get it done again. Pay these guys. We
- 16:30Speaker 1: gotta pay these guys, young guys. They can do the
- 16:32Speaker 1: same thing I wanted.
- 16:34Speaker 3: To ask you, like you had an Anthony Edwards for
- 16:38Speaker 3: the people that don't know a lot of young age,
- 16:40Speaker 3: how does the field bro to see him where he
- 16:42Speaker 3: at right now?
- 16:44Speaker 1: Like man, they feel amazing, man, you had him as
- 16:47Speaker 1: on the court. Yeah, I mean, I mean I caught him,
- 16:50Speaker 1: uh like you know, kind of his senior year in
- 16:53Speaker 1: high school. But it was like, you know, it's a
- 16:56Speaker 1: lot of it was a lot of hats in in
- 16:57Speaker 1: the pot, you know what I'm saying. A lot of
- 16:59Speaker 1: hands in that pot, you know what I'm saying. So
- 17:01Speaker 1: when I got to him, I knew Dad. You know,
- 17:06Speaker 1: all I could do was basically give him the information
- 17:10Speaker 1: of of like what he was facing, what he's about
- 17:14Speaker 1: to face, you know what I'm saying. Like it was
- 17:19Speaker 1: just like from the standpoint of you know, like, bro,
- 17:22Speaker 1: you're gonna be one of the faces of the NBA,
- 17:25Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like X, Y and Z,
- 17:27Speaker 1: like this is how you gotta handle it this because
- 17:30Speaker 1: you know, he wanted them trench babies. See what people
- 17:33Speaker 1: understand us. What people understand is like he can really
- 17:36Speaker 1: have a he can really like make some money off
- 17:39Speaker 1: of his story. He got a hell of a story.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Like I think his mom passed away when he was
- 17:45Speaker 1: like thirteen fourteen years old. Father really never never been around,
- 17:50Speaker 1: and then and then like you know, his sister and
- 17:53Speaker 1: his brother had to raise him. And then you gotta
- 17:56Speaker 1: imagine they was like eighteen nineteen years old, so he's
- 18:01Speaker 1: he's thirteen. So the decision that he's making in life,
- 18:05Speaker 1: you can't fault him for it because he's figuring out
- 18:08Speaker 1: the ship pretty much on his own, you know what
- 18:10Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, you know, I know he's he's been
- 18:13Speaker 1: going viral and a lot of like different things and
- 18:15Speaker 1: it's off the court life. But yeah, you can't fault him,
- 18:20Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like the man, the man
- 18:23Speaker 1: is really like figuring out how to be a man
- 18:25Speaker 1: on his own. How did you How did you discover him? Though?
- 18:28Speaker 1: Like how he come across your past? Uh? You know,
- 18:31Speaker 1: like the NBA. Like I said, I wanted to get
- 18:33Speaker 1: into coaching. I know, you say, you you you're a
- 18:36Speaker 1: high school coach. I'm a I'm an AU coach, and
- 18:42Speaker 1: you know, I want to do I want to do
- 18:43Speaker 1: college and pros. But right now I'm cool with this.
- 18:46Speaker 1: So'm I got a couple of guys that are really
- 18:49Speaker 1: special right now, so I want to I want to
- 18:51Speaker 1: kind of like lock in with that. But I was
- 18:56Speaker 1: at the top one hundred camp, you know that, you know,
- 18:59Speaker 1: So I was at the top one hundred camp and
- 19:01Speaker 1: then he was like I want to say, a sophomore
- 19:05Speaker 1: going to be a junior, and he just destroyed the
- 19:10Speaker 1: camp like he he was from Atlanta. He he looked
- 19:13Speaker 1: like the best kid there, like guys that was like
- 19:16Speaker 1: already seniors and all that. And then that's when that summer,
- 19:20Speaker 1: that's when he got that traction. So that that's when
- 19:23Speaker 1: he uh reclassified up. So when he reclassified up, people
- 19:29Speaker 1: don't know that. Yeah, a lot of peoples moved up.
- 19:32Speaker 1: He moved up. I don't know if he reclassified back.
- 19:41Speaker 1: You know, you'll never see a seventeen you highlight for
- 19:43Speaker 1: Cooper flag. He was kicking niggas asses, don't get it twisted.
- 19:50Speaker 1: So I didn't know that. Yeah, so so so yeah,
- 19:55Speaker 1: so so you know, he reclassified up off of the
- 20:00Speaker 1: you know, the traction he gained from that summer because
- 20:03Speaker 1: he destroyed the summer. Yeah, and he reclassified up. And
- 20:06Speaker 1: then he went to a school right down street from
- 20:10Speaker 1: my house. And I was just basically kind of like
- 20:14Speaker 1: give him information on what to expect future wise, because
- 20:19Speaker 1: I'm always thinking like five years, ten years head of
- 20:22Speaker 1: a curve, Like that's my problem, Like I'm not always
- 20:26Speaker 1: living in the moment, you know what I'm saying, I'm
- 20:28Speaker 1: always thinking about what's next, What's next? You know what
- 20:31Speaker 1: I'm saying, ten years, you know what I'm saying, five
- 20:33Speaker 1: ten years, I'm always thinking. That's how I think, That's
- 20:37Speaker 1: how I break down life, you know what I'm saying.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Like I know, like you know, Yolo and all that stuff.
- 20:43Speaker 1: But it's like, hey, man, look I get it, you
- 20:46Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But I'm trying to live for
- 20:48Speaker 1: tomorrow just in case it happens. You know what I'm saying.
- 20:50Speaker 1: I'm that type of individual. So I was, you know,
- 20:55Speaker 1: I was just kind of you know, putting them down
- 20:57Speaker 1: on the information, and uh, he's a guy that's thriving
- 21:01Speaker 1: right now. I knew that he was gonna be one
- 21:04Speaker 1: of the faces of the n b A. What people
- 21:06Speaker 1: don't understand is, uh, what people don't know is he
- 21:11Speaker 1: was committed to Florida State, and I kind of let
- 21:15Speaker 1: him understand the importance of going to Georgia around his family.
- 21:21Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, you need to stay locked in.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I didn't get a dime from that, you know what
- 21:25Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm a Georgia fan, So I kind of
- 21:28Speaker 1: like legendly, no, no, no, No, this is a fact. I
- 21:36Speaker 1: ain't gonna never take no lie. If I'm lying, I'm flying,
- 21:39Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, liking at that. You know,
- 21:46Speaker 1: I'm standing this ship. I'm staying this ship. You know
- 21:53Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So yeah, you know you know what
- 21:56Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's what really happened, you know. So I
- 22:00Speaker 1: just wanted to see the the Georgia basketball organization get
- 22:05Speaker 1: back on their feet. So they back, they're back to
- 22:08Speaker 1: being on something that can brag about now. But doing
- 22:12Speaker 1: what he did was he did some trail blazer and ship.
- 22:15Speaker 1: So a lot of people are known for going to
- 22:18Speaker 1: different organizations and uh, different schools because of the name,
- 22:23Speaker 1: but you know, he did the right thing.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I just wanted you to speak on that because
- 22:28Speaker 3: you was a big staple in his career, like his
- 22:30Speaker 3: career path bro, so for sure, and.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Some interesting you said.
- 22:33Speaker 2: You said, always living in the moment, think about what's
- 22:35Speaker 2: coming next, and even though people have their feelings about it,
- 22:37Speaker 2: but you always ad just like you said, all right,
- 22:39Speaker 2: if I'm playing the sea going forward, I gotta be
- 22:41Speaker 2: able to stretch the floor.
- 22:42Speaker 1: And that's what he always talked about earlier. That's why
- 22:43Speaker 1: I'm telling him team was going to guard. So that's
- 22:54Speaker 1: what people don't understand. That's why he just had to
- 22:56Speaker 1: get on his ass. You know what I'm saying, mano
- 22:58Speaker 1: back because he was added the ass guard. So once
- 23:02Speaker 1: I look, I was setting the screen to get me
- 23:04Speaker 1: the ball. But you know what I'm saying, so like
- 23:07Speaker 1: slip out, Hell no, look, I'm finel. Look I used
- 23:10Speaker 1: to mean brother gets headed up. Watch how Draymond Green
- 23:15Speaker 1: said screens? That's how you said scream? Then they're illegal.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Every screen was down the illegal. I'm moving into some ship.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Josh trun get that pill by wanting to pill ball
- 23:26Speaker 1: double what a team? Can you contest that ninety percent
- 23:30Speaker 1: of the offense was ran through Joe Johnson? Oh definitely
- 23:33Speaker 1: all right there. So then so then you gotta understand
- 23:38Speaker 1: seven percent was was was our Warford? You know what
- 23:42Speaker 1: I'm saying. That means it was like a little bit
- 23:46Speaker 1: left three percent I need that? No, was that it
- 23:51Speaker 1: ain't needed. It's like ship, how can I get this ship?
- 23:55Speaker 1: That me You know what I'm saying, Jamal too, that's
- 24:03Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So we already knew when
- 24:05Speaker 1: Jamal came in he cutting the percentage in half. You
- 24:09Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, he said, I already scanned the room,
- 24:14Speaker 1: scanned it, scanned the ring, and you folk got no hooper, No,
- 24:18Speaker 1: I take the shots. I'm shooting shots.
- 24:21Speaker 3: How you feel about like the young generation growing up
- 24:25Speaker 3: you in the AU world now, Like do you think
- 24:27Speaker 3: it's like a I don't know, like a gap between
- 24:31Speaker 3: like the n B A and the youngsters like so
- 24:35Speaker 3: far as like the where they learned it from the
- 24:37Speaker 3: learning curve.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's alot of bad basketball, man. Yeah, it's alot
- 24:42Speaker 1: of bad basketball. And my son coffee. Yeah, it's a
- 24:53Speaker 1: lot of It's a lot of bad basketball man, and
- 24:56Speaker 1: and too overcompensate the bad basketball. Parents are reclassifying their
- 25:03Speaker 1: kids thinking that that is the answer, you know what
- 25:07Speaker 1: I'm saying. And then what they don't understand is is
- 25:10Speaker 1: that it's an oversaturation and kids working your kids out trainers.
- 25:17Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I don't know if I
- 25:20Speaker 1: spoke on this. The gift and the curse is that
- 25:25Speaker 1: the trainer is available. You know what I'm saying. The
- 25:28Speaker 1: curse is is is it translating? Is what I'm showing
- 25:33Speaker 1: your kids translating to the court you know what I'm saying,
- 25:38Speaker 1: because in reality, all of these trainers are training these
- 25:44Speaker 1: kids to overdribble and they can't like I swear, like,
- 25:50Speaker 1: I bet he could go to his practice and it's
- 25:55Speaker 1: no more ones than twos, no more like I like.
- 25:58Speaker 1: I went to my son practice and I loved, I like,
- 26:02Speaker 1: I love the like, I love the decision that I
- 26:05Speaker 1: made and taking him to this school and he's developing
- 26:09Speaker 1: because the coach is so detailed. But it's sad because
- 26:15Speaker 1: it's sad because he's happening to go to seven and
- 26:20Speaker 1: saying twos and threes instead of ones and twos because
- 26:24Speaker 1: you motherfuckers can't go to my too music dribbling their
- 26:29Speaker 1: motherfucking life away, they fucking life away, and then they
- 26:33Speaker 1: can't shoot threes, and then you know, because they can't
- 26:37Speaker 1: shoot threes, and then when they get to the to
- 26:39Speaker 1: the to the whole, they can't they can't make layups.
- 26:42Speaker 1: So it's like it's like it's showing the kid, like, damn,
- 26:48Speaker 1: I really need to work on my game. Y'all doing
- 26:51Speaker 1: work now. Now I'm gonna put you like the reclass situation.
- 26:57Speaker 1: It's only it only works middle school, elementary school. So
- 27:04Speaker 1: now you like, come on, let's be let's be honest.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Like I got an eyebro, like you got an eye
- 27:12Speaker 1: to So you know what these you know what these
- 27:14Speaker 1: you know what these recruiters are looking at. You know
- 27:17Speaker 1: what these scouts are looking at. What's your mom and daddy?
- 27:19Speaker 1: How you look? Like? Why you holding these kids back?
- 27:22Speaker 1: And you know these motherfuckers gonna be five? Five? You
- 27:25Speaker 1: not even all got damn six in this real game?
- 27:28Speaker 1: Where's the six? And girls? You know what I'm saying.
- 27:35Speaker 1: You can't get there, You can't he can't get you
- 27:39Speaker 1: can't get the D one crash outs. So we're trying
- 27:42Speaker 1: to figure it out. Man, So what's the okay?
- 27:46Speaker 3: So I got you like, So say you got a
- 27:49Speaker 3: six four twelve year old, are you going to reclassify
- 27:55Speaker 3: him lower?
- 27:57Speaker 1: Hell no. If he's sad though, if he fucking jumping
- 28:01Speaker 1: that deep end, jumping that deep end and learn how
- 28:03Speaker 1: to swim, give him the game you want to. You
- 28:06Speaker 1: want to always play the shallow end. Females don't like
- 28:09Speaker 1: niggas had to play in the shallow end, slashing it
- 28:24Speaker 1: to swim or not. I just want you to get
- 28:30Speaker 1: his job. I want I want you to get saying though, Man,
- 28:35Speaker 1: you're gonna jump in the deep end or not, Like
- 28:37Speaker 1: you gotta learn how to swim. That's an analogy. Don't
- 28:40Speaker 1: don't get too far deep into what I just said
- 28:43Speaker 1: on some freaking ship. Just yeah, think about what we're
- 28:46Speaker 1: talking about. Basketball. We're talking about basketball. It's like my
- 28:52Speaker 1: son now right, he's six five here in the tenth grade.
- 28:57Speaker 1: That man was like Bambi legs like it was like Banby,
- 29:00Speaker 1: Like it was like raising Bambie. Like it was like
- 29:02Speaker 1: I had to create real patience in my life. I'm like, damn,
- 29:05Speaker 1: do he really wanted to play basketball? But he wanted
- 29:07Speaker 1: to play He just wasn't me at the time. Like
- 29:10Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, all of them, like our
- 29:13Speaker 1: kids are different. You know what I'm saying. They raised different,
- 29:16Speaker 1: They're there, they come from different like circumstances. So it's
- 29:20Speaker 1: a different type of feel like them wyans popping the ship.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Hey nigga, man, my daddy put me up right now,
- 29:30Speaker 1: And which was what man, Hey, hey, hey hey dad,
- 29:36Speaker 1: hey dad, man put pull up in that goddamn motherfucker. Motherfucker.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Yeah the may bag, Yeah, pull up in that. Yeah,
- 29:45Speaker 1: come on, man, Like so it's like, yo, yo, your
- 29:49Speaker 1: son man pull one of man.
- 30:00Speaker 7: Man. Look Atlanta, man don't play with.
- 30:21Speaker 1: So he haven't reached baby. So it's like at this point,
- 30:25Speaker 1: you know, they popping it different, you know what I'm saying.
- 30:27Speaker 1: So you gotta you gotta kind of real it in,
- 30:29Speaker 1: you know a little bit and let him know that
- 30:31Speaker 1: you you know, you still want to raise a you know,
- 30:35Speaker 1: a humble individual, but you know it's kind of hard
- 30:38Speaker 1: because it's like, man, how can you raise a humble
- 30:40Speaker 1: individual when number one, he has your blood in you?
- 30:44Speaker 1: So imagine when you didn't have nothing, you still were
- 30:47Speaker 1: popping it. You know what I'm saying. You still was
- 30:50Speaker 1: popping when you had nothing. Now this is like a
- 30:52Speaker 1: two point over you you know what I'm saying, and
- 30:55Speaker 1: he haven't. Yeah, so you know, listen, we're gonna talk

- 37:04Speaker 1: like that. It was definitely arguing. You gravitate towards team though,
- 37:09Speaker 1: like because he was he was our point guard in
- 37:12Speaker 1: the future and shot to Bibby. I love Bibby, but
- 37:16Speaker 1: I just knew like he was more like other of
- 37:22Speaker 1: the little nigga I needed, you know what I'm saying,
- 37:23Speaker 1: because he's gonna play a little defense. He's gonna pop
- 37:26Speaker 1: his ship at the beginning. In the beginning, Yeah you

- 45:07Speaker 1: it's always like one dude that's gonna make the team,
- 45:10Speaker 1: that's not on the team. It depends on how he

- 56:45Speaker 1: foundation from the ground up. They're building it from the
- 56:49Speaker 1: top down. So when they make it and they're facing adversity,
- 56:54Speaker 1: they can't they can't take the ship because people been
- 56:58Speaker 1: stroking their fucking ego. They've been fucking in fifth and
- 57:01Speaker 1: sixth grade. They've been letting them get away with little bullshit.
- 57:04Speaker 1: They've been letting them get away with not fucking boxing
- 57:08Speaker 1: the man out and not passing the ball. This teammate

- 57:48Speaker 1: I'm telling you a little adversity. I'm telling you, bro,
- 57:52Speaker 1: And then they want to blame it on other shit
- 57:55Speaker 1: like no disrespect to that griff of kid. But you're

- 1:00:39Speaker 1: Okay, so you're telling me all. You're telling me he
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: had a bigger platform to do nothing. See that time.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: He ain't seeing it on this way he got drafted.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: He wasn't. It was because he wont has more support. No,
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: let's be on my kids. I don't think he was
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: better than the Rivers had more support than you had

- 1:08:04Speaker 1: So I finally got used to the snow and stuff
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: like that. But Detroit was like a city that's like Indiana.
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: It's like you want, you want to win, you know
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because you know, the fans are passionate
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: about sports, you know what I'm saying. And it's not
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: a lot of states that are really passionate about like
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: professional sports. You got you got collegiate sports like everybody.
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: Because it's alumni. You got what you got North Dakota
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: State in football, that's like they'll sell out their sell
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: out arenas because it's a following because people went to
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: school there. But basketball is like bandwagon. You know what
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: I'm saying. Damn there. It's like if you if you
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: got a if you a fan of NBA team, it's
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: because you're from there, or you got a player, yeah, player,
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And Detroit to play about
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: their teams at all, not the man, not at all.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: I remember when I was playing, they had like when
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: there was an opera heels, they had like tallies of
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: like sold out like consecutives sold out arenas, you know what,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: like showed out games and it was like it got
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: like two hundred and something. So like when I seen that,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: like when Chauncey Billison, then was there Ben Wilson and
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: then was there. When I was playing and I seen it,
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: I was like, man, I want to be a part
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: of something like that, but it just never happened. But
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: they deserve a winning team. Indiana deserves a winning team,
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like not seriously though, When
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: you when you have like passionate fans, like guys want
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: to talk like guys like on opposing teams, it's just
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: like a player. It's like you hate to play against them,
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: but you love to love him to be on your team.
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: It's like certain cities like Boston, Utah, Indiana, Detroit. You
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Houston is one of the one
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: of the one of the places. Golden State definitely. Yeah. Fact,
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: So it's like Lakers at the.
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: I just me personally, I don't think Detroit probably need
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: to move. Bro, Nah, they need to move, move out
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: offer Hill.
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: That was I think. No, it's not them, it's it's
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you a team
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: that might need to move. Let me see. Let me
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: think about Memphis. When I'm just saying, I'm gonna say,
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I say either Charlotte because they fans
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: ain't ship like even when it's easy, like you're gonna
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: feel the pressure. I'm gonna say, like, Charlotte, give me
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: a West Coast team. I'm gonna give your West Coast
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: team too. I promise you don't give you one. Let
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: me think Phoenix is good. But they just they felt
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: that they like they're not really like they like it's
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: like a retirement place. So like Phoenix is a retirement place,
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: so they ain't really like it ain't a whole lot
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: of fans. Phoenix fans like I'm gonna say either Phoenix, Phoenix,
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: Charlotte or like from l A like from West Coast.

- 1:20:55Speaker 1: I'm like, Nigga, I don't want to be known as

- 1:21:03Speaker 1: plus minus in practice. I want to.
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: I was different though, because I remember one time I
- 1:21:09Speaker 4: was killing the practice, like when I first was a rookie.
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: You know how you're playing hard as hell as a
- 1:21:13Speaker 4: rookie and y'all just kind of chilling. And what he
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: got mad at y'all and y'all was like, come on, man,
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: this nigga just start blocking every show.
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: I'm going to the back heat block. I'm trying to like,
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: I'm trying to save myself. And I'm like, because I'm
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: athletic as hell, bro, I'm not trying to come down
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: on nigga for the practice. Then boom, I'm out fucking
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: two weaks. But I didn't know how.
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: I mean, I take my ankles like I I knew
- 1:21:37Speaker 4: him from high school, like he was athletic, but I
- 1:21:40Speaker 4: ain't no like, I wasn't no fan of too many people.
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: So I'm like, nigga, don't give fuck. And then we
- 1:21:47Speaker 4: were shooting free throws and I'm like, y'all can go
- 1:21:48Speaker 4: through the legs. He was like, for real, shot the ball,
- 1:21:51Speaker 4: grabbed it, just went through the legs.
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: To it. Everybody was like, you're not athletic. You told
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: you legs. So he just shot, got the ball, just
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: went off, got that walk into it. I was like, yeah,
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: it was just like when you what we were saying,
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: like the shoot around ship, right, So let me like
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: what we had shoot around like either eleven o'clock or
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: ten o'clock, right, so we had shoot around. I'm shooting.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: We shoot like a motherfucker. We're going through their plays,
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: We're going through our plays. Right. Then you going to
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: the game, right, you got it. You got the rookie bus,
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: you got a veteran bus. So I'm on the veteran
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: bus by the time he gets there. So I'm like,
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: I'm already knowing I got eight shots, eight to ten
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: shots this game. Every game, I know I got eight
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: to ten shots, depending on how wide, how maneuver this
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: ship you know what I'm saying. So I'm like, Isaac,
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: did we not like so nigga, you got fifteen shots?
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: Like you got fifteen minutes per slot. You know what
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: I'm saying. So my my slide is fifteen minutes his
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: slot fifteen minutes when the game, like before the game start.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: So I'm coming to that motherfucker. If I make two shots,
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: I'm like, Ship, I'm cool. You know what I'm saying.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: I'm like, mentality is like, okay, Ship, I'm hot night.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. If I missed two, I'm like, Okay,
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: I gotta stay like extra five ten minutes. You know
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm never I'm never staying at fifteen minutes.
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: That nigga shoot around ship was cracky. It was like
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: that was my mentality, Like fuck that ship, like they
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: need to shoot two shots. Fucking listen here crazy going,
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: Oh I'm running, I'm running a lout them two go in.
- 1:23:56Speaker 4: But stuff and be playing hard as hell. And I'm like,
- 1:24:00Speaker 4: because on defense, bro, he made up for everybody's mistakes.
- 1:24:03Speaker 4: That's why I used to be like and why am
- 1:24:05Speaker 4: people don't like, like y'all understand what this Nigga doing.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: He got six blocks and three steals.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: But even if you look at it now like Drew did,
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: Drew got dpo whid like ad got like but you
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: talk about them as being regarded some of the best
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: defitens at least, like you said, to your point, the
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: players know it's more political than it is.
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: All nine it is because I got it was one
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: time I was defensive player runner up and I make
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: the second team. You know what I'm saying, Player the
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: Year and get second team, Like, yeah, that's what happened
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: with Like so d White one day year and I
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: got second behind him and I was still second team.
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: Yeah that's crazy. Make that make sense. So I'm like,
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: because you don't play a five, so that's right now.
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: So after that, it's like like just like being out
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: of by you, Like I respect everything he do because
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: he's guarded one through five. And then it's skilled as
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: the league is today for him to be able to
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: isolation stop a point guard that can really just dribble
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: thirty times now to try to get a bucket and
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: to stop him, you gotta look at stuff like that
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: like that was yeah, that was me. So it was
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: like two years I led the league in like isolation.
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: Like isolation plays percentage wise, I led the league in that.
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: But that's what I hang my hat on, Like I
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: love cutting the nigga water off. You know what I'm saying.
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: I love that ship. Cutting the nigga water off is everything.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: Like I used to tell I used to tell Tea, like, man,
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: just just just act like you're gonna strip that mother
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: let him. Let him pick his step up. So my
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: step was like, if you do this, I'm blocking that ship.
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: If you come straight up, I don't know, Like, but
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: if you picking that motherfucker up, you're stepping do not.
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: I will just reach I'm a blocket. Yeah, just run
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: through them and get the You're gonna get a rebound. Listen, yeah, yeah, absolute, Yeah,
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: he's gonna swing through boom rebound. He get a rebound
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: at least one, one or two rebounds. I'm in dwhite
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: at that time, Broa, because I'm chasing ship. I was
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: chasing it down before Lebron was. Now. Lebron did that
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: ship one time with Tayshaun Prince and you know they
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: made that like, oh that's his career, But no, I was.
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: I was really one of the ones that that did
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: that ship in high school, I started at McDonald's. McDonald's
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: all American. You gotta highlight tape the chase down blood
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: because I'm you know, did you always live on that though?
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: Was that your like? Who put that better in your back?
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: And the negga to play defense?
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: Because to me, like, well, I pay attention to the
- 1:26:51Speaker 3: au world, but I feel like a lot of people
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: if they see you, they don't catch those highlights. Are
- 1:26:56Speaker 3: you swatten ship or you know being the best help
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: side defender them their.
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: Low key ever in high school? For real? To me, yeah,
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: I got I gotta shout out of coach frank Man
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: shouting out Celtics reci pe r P when they talking
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: real one man, real man. He had to the man.
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: The man had the hairline back there to his nick.
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He got that look. He
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: had that sticky just ain't stick in his mouth. He
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: was like, chieve y'all played the chief, y'all play defense?
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: Chief you want longemany I played defense? He had that
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: stick in his mouth. I'm like, man, I got you.
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: But it was a coach that I knew, Like, see
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: one thing about these players, they don't they go through
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: life meeting all kinds of coaches, all kinds of trainers, right,
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: but they never rarely meet a coach that's gonna put
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: them down on some ship, you know what I'm saying,
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: like on some real ship. Like so he was a coach,
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: like I was a nigga that didn't have ship. I
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: ain't have I ain't have no money, you know what
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like my parents ain't have no money. So
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: whatever the program gave me, that's what I had. You
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I was a nigga that had
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: like I'm getting a basketball pair of shoes for the
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: whole year, you know what I'm saying. So I'm telling
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: him like, Okay, I got it, Like he like he
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: holed me down. Niggas talking about me. You know what
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: I'm saying, my home, my teammates talking about me. I
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: ain't got ship. He taking up for me, you know
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because he knew I was special, Like
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: he knew I didn't have the ship that he knew
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: I was gonna obtain. But he just like you know
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: what I mean, he knew so like that was a
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: that was a that was the coach that kind of
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: like he more than my my everything. Like then I
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: went to Okhill. So Steve Smith was one of the
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: mother coaches too, So like where you rank Steve Smith
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: as like I don't care, like what level coach one
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: he won? He won, He's one, not the two. We're
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: going rankings where you work yourself at O Hill.
- 1:29:14Speaker 4: You got Mellow, I'm got Rondo, I'm top five, you
- 1:29:20Speaker 4: got Jackson on top five, So I'm the five.
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say Mellow, stack House, me Rondo,
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, Are you gonna call KD? But he went
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: to Mount I mean he ends up going to Mouth.
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: O Hell, you got you got Michael Beasley. All these
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: niggas went to school there. So are we doing graduates? Graduating? Okay?
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: So me Carmelo, stack House Ron though, you gotta have
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: the Jenis in their.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: Sight before we get out of here. Last question back
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: and forth. Sure the BJS Arondo conversation, OK Hill. Rondo
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: broke a record for assist. So it's like, are you
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: a point guard or your shooting guard?
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: Because you can't want to be a point guard because
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: it's shooting guard. So you get to shoot the ball
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: and the point guard. So point guard is the he's
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: the set up man. And my honorable mention goes to
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: thy lawson. T loss you, Michael Michael Beasley, my my
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: dog man. He got he got. He got kicked out
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: because he was autographing everything. Now that's what people don't know.
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: He was an autographing. This what got him. He autographed
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: the bumper sticker of the deans of the school. That's
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: what kicked out. He's autographing library books, everything, shirts he
