Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The volume, Let's move to a lot of topics.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Uh. Cam Whitmore got traded to the Washington Wizards for
- 0:10Speaker 2: two second round picks.
- 0:11Speaker 1: That was crazy.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what the Wizards are doing.
- 0:16Speaker 1: You think that was a good move for them?
- 0:17Speaker 3: No, they just drafted came with Moore and Trey Johnson.
- 0:22Speaker 1: They literally did.
- 0:26Speaker 4: They got Cam Thomas even though he ain't signed back.
- 0:28Speaker 4: I'm sure he'll be back. Cam Whitmore, Trey Johnson, Chris Middleton.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Kim Tho for the Wizards.
- 0:37Speaker 4: God damn, I don't know why I said that, But
- 0:39Speaker 4: they got Cam with Moore, Trey Johnson, c J mcc
- 0:44Speaker 4: Chris Middleton, Yeah, Marcus Smart, that one white dude from Gonzaga.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Timmy, who the hell is that?
- 0:56Speaker 4: Kelly ol No, the other one that's another white kid doing.
- 1:02Speaker 1: They still got Cos.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I got, They still got Corey.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't see no room for Cam.
- 1:10Speaker 2: So I'm assuming this has to be a long term
- 1:12Speaker 2: play after next year, because imagine they're gonna probably have
- 1:14Speaker 2: Smart or Broaden on the roster next year. You're probably
- 1:17Speaker 2: gonna try well Buck Harrison. Is they starting?
- 1:19Speaker 1: PJ? Young boy? He solid as hell?
- 1:21Speaker 3: So who playing CJ?
- 1:22Speaker 1: CJ have to be gone for this year.
- 1:25Speaker 3: I'm just saying this year.
- 1:26Speaker 1: This year, TJ is starting toil. He gone for sure,
- 1:28Speaker 1: Okay for sure? Yeah.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Cam Whitmore is looking like your backup three right now
- 1:32Speaker 2: until Chris is gone. But I imagine that maybe their
- 1:34Speaker 2: young core they wanted is Bud Carrenson, Trey Johnson and
- 1:38Speaker 2: Cam Witmore if they went through three, because I think
- 1:40Speaker 2: Camp's with six five sixty six, so maybe he can
- 1:42Speaker 2: play the three.
- 1:43Speaker 1: But I mean for two seconund picks. I am mad
- 1:45Speaker 1: at the gamble.
- 1:47Speaker 5: Trade got a play well, Cam could have went to
- 1:49Speaker 5: somebody who needs that right now though.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Well, the report is that they had other offers on
- 1:54Speaker 2: the table, but they wanted to put him in the
- 1:55Speaker 2: best situation to develop and thrive. And I'm like, if
- 1:58Speaker 2: you send somebody to Washington, you don't really want him
- 2:01Speaker 2: to develop and.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Throw get more opportunity.
- 2:03Speaker 4: They're looking at it as an opportunity standpoint, like, all right,
- 2:06Speaker 4: we like Kim or whatever, We're gonna send him somewhere
- 2:07Speaker 4: where we know he can play. It's all equal playing field.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Like Trey Johnson was the first round pick, Kim wore.
- 2:13Speaker 4: Cam Woodmore was the first round pick. It ain't too
- 2:16Speaker 4: far like if he played more than Trey Johnson's it
- 2:19Speaker 4: ain't like you out of pocket.
- 2:21Speaker 2: He was the first round pick too because he did
- 2:24Speaker 2: this thing. Yeah, and Cam is pretty solid.
- 2:27Speaker 5: Like it's a lot of problems pick up for somebody
- 2:30Speaker 5: else though, Damn. I hate to see that.
- 2:33Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. I'm like, I wonder what
- 2:35Speaker 1: the other offers were.
- 2:35Speaker 2: You know, you hear a lot of ship that goes on,
- 2:37Speaker 2: but the really is I'm sure another team would probably
- 2:39Speaker 2: offered them a little bit more for them to get there,
- 2:40Speaker 2: Like you said, maybe they want him to go play
- 2:42Speaker 2: now cool, But but.
- 2:43Speaker 3: They still got the other young boy like what's his name?
- 2:46Speaker 4: But but my boy, yeah, they still got oh yeah
- 2:52Speaker 4: he nice. Yeah, you know the young wing they got yeah,
- 2:57Speaker 4: whatever his name is, no disrespect to you, friends, but
- 3:00Speaker 4: they still got him too. That's another young wing. And
- 3:02Speaker 4: I'm just like, what we're doing. I don't know, Yeah,
- 3:07Speaker 4: I don't know what that's about.
- 3:08Speaker 5: That that really that threw me off. Shit, I don't
- 3:12Speaker 5: know it just i'ld have kevi him.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I was surprised.
- 3:16Speaker 4: I just got a lot of young wings over there.
- 3:18Speaker 4: I don't know if that's gonna really fit.
- 3:20Speaker 5: But I mean, if you're gonna let him go get
- 3:22Speaker 5: something back that you can use serviceable, we're trying to
- 3:25Speaker 5: win the chip now.
- 3:26Speaker 4: I mean I got two second rounders. I mean they
- 3:28Speaker 4: really ain't got no roong for money. That's the problem.
- 3:30Speaker 4: That's where they came from. They can't signed drany Thing
- 3:33Speaker 4: Smith right now or Clint Capella.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Yeah, do you see there's like a seventeen deal that's
- 3:37Speaker 2: going on. They trying to link all these together to
- 3:39Speaker 2: make him make sense from a money standpoint. That's very
- 3:41Speaker 2: interesting they happen. So we'll see more of that probably
- 3:45Speaker 2: in the next couple of days, but even today this
- 3:46Speaker 2: morning said that it's like a seventeen deal something crazy
- 3:49Speaker 2: like that to make the money shift.
- 3:52Speaker 3: The second Apron thing is done.
- 3:55Speaker 1: What is it for.
- 3:56Speaker 3: It's just for the owners, for the owners to save money.
- 4:01Speaker 4: But it's also like not fair because if you watch,
- 4:06Speaker 4: like the owners can always get their money back like players,
- 4:09Speaker 4: they can never get their money back like you get
- 4:12Speaker 4: what you get like the owners is making money while
- 4:15Speaker 4: they playing, while they're owning the team, they make money,
- 4:18Speaker 4: then they can sell it and get all their money
- 4:20Speaker 4: back and plus more. It's nothing wrong with it. I
- 4:23Speaker 4: get it, because they supplying. They the reason this league works. Obviously,
- 4:27Speaker 4: you can have players, but if you don't got owners,
- 4:29Speaker 4: people who are putting up the capital to make this
- 4:31Speaker 4: shit work, it ain't gonna happen.
- 4:32Speaker 1: I get it.
- 4:33Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, like, if one owner got more
- 4:36Speaker 4: money than another who fucking fought.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Is at absolutely you're right.
- 4:41Speaker 3: If I can afford to pay the tax and you can't.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all of that.
- 4:46Speaker 4: But to me, the second apron is really hurting people
- 4:49Speaker 4: like Okay, see teams that develop these young talents. If
- 4:53Speaker 4: you look at the CBA years ago when James Horten
- 4:57Speaker 4: came up, it killed the OKAC team back then because
- 5:00Speaker 4: they couldn't the CBA didn't allow them to do what
- 5:03Speaker 4: they needed to do to keep their talent. But they
- 5:04Speaker 4: making these homegrown stars, building them up. And now they
- 5:09Speaker 4: came and keep them on their team because the second
- 5:11Speaker 4: apron they came befod to going to tax. It's like
- 5:14Speaker 4: a crazy tax. So they're gonna lose this beautiful team
- 5:17Speaker 4: that we seeing this year.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Hell yeah, and then you know what I'm saying, the
- 5:19Speaker 2: president right now, seat to come and catch your health
- 5:21Speaker 2: for it. They're just like, man, why you agree with
- 5:24Speaker 2: that bullshit? That's what I've just been saying. They're like, man,
- 5:27Speaker 2: what you want?
- 5:27Speaker 1: Bro?
- 5:27Speaker 2: Like, while y'all get into this bullshit, you looking at
- 5:30Speaker 2: w they getting upset with their collective as was. It
- 5:31Speaker 2: seems like the players associations across the board really be
- 5:34Speaker 2: kind of letting down the players.
- 5:36Speaker 4: Well, they tricked them because they made it seem like
- 5:37Speaker 4: it's gonna be parody around the league, like, oh, every
- 5:39Speaker 4: team is going to have stars now because you can't
- 5:42Speaker 4: keep a star. And then you look at it, it's like, yeah,
- 5:45Speaker 4: but you also can't pay anybody else's everybody's gonna get
- 5:50Speaker 4: lowble Like everybody's gonna get lower contracts.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Now.
- 5:53Speaker 4: You're gonna have two maybe three max players and everybody
- 5:57Speaker 4: else who at once upon a time when people was
- 6:00Speaker 4: getting the mid level exception getting fourteen fifteen twenty minutes,
- 6:03Speaker 4: you're gonna have like one player like that one or
- 6:05Speaker 4: two who's getting ten, twelve, thirteen, forty fourteen million. It's
- 6:11Speaker 4: just not good, Like yeah, like it took the fun
- 6:14Speaker 4: out of basketball.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Con Like you said, to the point though, we were
- 6:16Speaker 2: so surprised that special then when it got fourteen million
- 6:19Speaker 2: for one year from Charlotte. That's a mid level exception
- 6:23Speaker 2: in years past. That's a couple of people getting that bread.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Now people is like d Loo had to get two
- 6:29Speaker 2: year twelve million. That's crazy for somebody that's.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Calibern just to make your work and try to hit
- 6:33Speaker 4: free agency again next year to see if you can
- 6:35Speaker 4: get fourteen to fifteen eight you know what I mean,
- 6:39Speaker 4: Just to be on a team.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And it's forbids. You get injured your.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Cup, yeah done, and don't be one in a situation
- 6:47Speaker 2: to where you lad of your career you want to contend,
- 6:49Speaker 2: you're most definitely now with this law, you're taking a
- 6:52Speaker 2: pay cup for sure.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Definitely hmm.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Yeah, don't know.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Like Al Horford minimal, which is crazy. He's gonna get
- 7:01Speaker 4: life mostly gonna get five million, that should be getting ten.
- 7:07Speaker 1: He's still service, but he plays enough minutes of qualifif
- 7:10Speaker 1: can't up body afford them, that should be getting ten.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Look at the ship they're trying to do to give
- 7:14Speaker 4: Clint Copella seven million, dran Phinneysmith fourteen fifteen million.
- 7:19Speaker 5: That's what I told you you're talking about this when
- 7:21Speaker 5: I said, y'all, boy need a software update. I said,
- 7:25Speaker 5: what's that boy named Ken Tao KCP No, no, no
- 7:29Speaker 5: from the Sixers, the two.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Guard that you'll look.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Yeah, he tripped, I said, twenty five. He's not getting
- 7:36Speaker 2: you ain't righted the little fucking pamphlet.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Nah.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Yeah that clearly Yeah that that was quiet for that
- 7:43Speaker 2: twenty five for my boy.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Now he you know what I'm saying, trying to get
- 7:46Speaker 1: it how you live?
- 7:47Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna have to think that again.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 7:52Speaker 2: And I feel like that gotta leads to like division
- 7:54Speaker 2: in the locker room because you're gonna have so many people.
- 7:56Speaker 2: We gotta have a few people who comfortable. Everybody else
- 7:58Speaker 2: is literally fighting for their life now. I mean, I
- 8:00Speaker 2: I know it's competitive, everybody's always going for the next contract,
- 8:02Speaker 2: But now you got a smaller windows. Ain't nobody really
- 8:05Speaker 2: getting three year deals. You're getting one plus ones at
- 8:07Speaker 2: best two.
- 8:07Speaker 3: They took it back to the old NBA.
- 8:09Speaker 4: You gotta think that's how it was back in the
- 8:11Speaker 4: day when I first came out, Like the male level
- 8:14Speaker 4: exception was eight million, that's what I had got. It
- 8:17Speaker 4: was like eight million or whatever. But you had one
- 8:19Speaker 4: player on your team had a max deal. You had
- 8:23Speaker 4: people had making thirteen fourteen, like I was making fifteen,
- 8:27Speaker 4: Josh making thirteen, Mormon was making like yeah, Joe was
- 8:32Speaker 4: making twenty four right, and then they're the next player
- 8:36Speaker 4: is making like fourteen.
- 8:39Speaker 1: That's a pecking you know what I mean. It was
- 8:40Speaker 1: just like a pecking order. Now.
- 8:42Speaker 4: I mean it's always been like that in the league,
- 8:43Speaker 4: but now at one point it had got so cool
- 8:46Speaker 4: where like a guy like kim Boy Baisemore was making
- 8:50Speaker 4: seventeen million and you're like, damn a nigga.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Though he had four or five right time you.
- 8:57Speaker 4: Had Duncan Robinson getting twenty million a year. Yes, sir,
- 9:01Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It was just like at
- 9:02Speaker 4: a point in time it was good where the money
- 9:04Speaker 4: the TV deal came.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Theydn't had a second Apron.
- 9:06Speaker 4: Ship yet people was getting paid because they had to
- 9:09Speaker 4: spend that money. But now this ship didn't ruined it.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Like look at Boston, bro they went from top of
- 9:15Speaker 4: the world too.
- 9:18Speaker 5: I don't know what they gonna do, but ship, I
- 9:21Speaker 5: don't know because Dame said be interested. I mean, yeah,
- 9:25Speaker 5: I'm just saying they they're still gonna be competitive.
- 9:27Speaker 1: But I said, had to break up your whole team.
- 9:30Speaker 1: They like, yeah, we got two years.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Then you gotta slice this team up because ain't no
- 9:34Speaker 4: way we're paying that tax.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Yeah, they let go everything.
- 9:37Speaker 5: Yeah, bro, that's do y'all still think, uh, Jaylen Brown
- 9:42Speaker 5: be up for a trade.
- 9:45Speaker 4: I mean, you still got to put a nice product
- 9:47Speaker 4: on the floor. I mean even though it's Boston, people
- 9:49Speaker 4: are still gonna go to the games. Yeah, just because
- 9:52Speaker 4: it's routine.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Now.
- 9:53Speaker 4: People probably didn't pay for their season tickets ever since
- 9:57Speaker 4: the championship, probably three years in advance, you know what
- 9:59Speaker 4: I mean, got because that's what happened with Cleveland when
- 10:02Speaker 4: Lebron left. Their games were still sold out because people
- 10:05Speaker 4: bass season tickets for like four years.
- 10:06Speaker 2: In events, danbrind the vibes. You want to tap in?
- 10:10Speaker 2: Tap in now? I see your boy's got a love
- 10:13Speaker 2: threat on the Pacers, shouts my doll.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Jay huff Man.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I like Jay huff He's a really quality back up.
- 10:20Speaker 2: He's probably gonna start because we don't have to start. Well,
- 10:22Speaker 2: he doesn't have a choice.
- 10:23Speaker 1: We don't have got to start. The jersey.
- 10:26Speaker 4: I like the way that he played though, he plays
- 10:27Speaker 4: just like like Miles.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just a little bit more athletic. Who the
- 10:32Speaker 1: mouse turner?
- 10:34Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, talking about the.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Hoof the big white boy. Ain't more athletic than Miles.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Yes he is, bro, Yes he is bro. Yeah. He
- 10:43Speaker 1: a better love threat, Yes he is.
- 10:46Speaker 2: He can shoot, He finished about the room. He always
- 10:49Speaker 2: awards dunk and he catch a lot. He's more athletic
- 10:52Speaker 2: than mouth. Absolutely all right, that's it. Damn, that's a sneaky.
- 10:58Speaker 2: That's a sneak. That's a good pick a.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Quarty pick up. I'm rolling. I've been thinking very hot
- 11:04Speaker 1: on him.
- 11:04Speaker 2: I didn't know why it didn't work in mephis Obviously
- 11:06Speaker 2: they got Hello big, But I didn't never know why
- 11:08Speaker 2: he because he got a little bit of mess with him.
- 11:09Speaker 1: He was productive, but they got Hello bigs. But he
- 11:12Speaker 1: run four really well. A good player.
- 11:14Speaker 3: But like some of Miles dunks that you we've seen,
- 11:17Speaker 3: I mean.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Man's come through the middle with that bitch. Now that's
- 11:19Speaker 1: one thing. Miles will pump drop the basket.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Hell now some of the stuff dow low would I
- 11:24Speaker 2: expect Miles to just turn to dunk some times.
- 11:26Speaker 1: That ain't really his game. He'll do that.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a really quality back up. I wish you
- 11:31Speaker 2: would have had him last year. I think it would
- 11:33Speaker 2: have made it a little bit of Yeah, but he's quality,
- 11:36Speaker 2: He's quality.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Thomas Brown want to get in if he was.
- 11:39Speaker 2: On team that that I was saying, he can shoot
- 11:42Speaker 2: out the basketball.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Shoot he could play, but more athletic. Yeah, I don't
- 11:47Speaker 4: know about that, but he's definitely Lot three.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I like him.
- 11:50Speaker 2: I'm taking hopefully he can sack around for another year, retires,
- 11:53Speaker 2: get back. I think that'd be real dope to see
- 11:55Speaker 2: him with that.
- 11:55Speaker 1: That was a great pick up for you. It's not good.
- 11:57Speaker 5: It's not jumping off the radar, of course, but that
- 12:00Speaker 5: for the Pacers.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Here remind me of I already had in Goga.
- 12:06Speaker 2: But yeah, he a little bit better than Gog the
- 12:08Speaker 2: same type of I think Goga's offensive touch as far
- 12:10Speaker 2: as passing the balls a little bit better.
- 12:12Speaker 1: But I like Jaff. I like you have a lot
- 12:14Speaker 1: you get shoot it. Yeah.
- 12:16Speaker 2: I don't know what we're gonna do next year. I
- 12:18Speaker 2: have no expectations, but why not. I ain't mad at it.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Two second round picks you an't gonna do no, But
- 12:22Speaker 2: in no way auditions next year for us?
- 12:26Speaker 1: Yeah, should the Pacers have a bullshit year.
- 12:28Speaker 3: Yeah, get another hot pick?
- 12:30Speaker 1: Yeah? Should that? Yes? Am I yeah, I.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Think they should go all the way tank Like you know,
- 12:36Speaker 4: at some point somebody got to get the first round pick.
- 12:39Speaker 4: So everybody superstar got hurt. We know to us it's
- 12:42Speaker 4: somewhat rigged right. So Boston lost Jay j T. Milwaukee
- 12:49Speaker 4: lost some Dame Indiana Pacers. Sorry the draft off, the
- 12:55Speaker 4: drop off for the Pacers is gonna be so much
- 12:57Speaker 4: more drastic. But from going to the finals was in
- 13:00Speaker 4: your star player they drop off, I'm gonna be like
- 13:02Speaker 4: understood compared to everybody else. They still got. They still
- 13:05Speaker 4: got Jaylen Brown. Place the fucking around be the numbers
- 13:08Speaker 4: to get the number two pick.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Listen bro we lost Tyre's and we lost two starters
- 13:14Speaker 2: in a matter of two weeks, two people who meant
- 13:17Speaker 2: a lot to our team. I'm alway letting the young boys,
- 13:21Speaker 2: all the young players at the beginning of the year
- 13:22Speaker 2: go crazy, get y'all off, get your value high as
- 13:26Speaker 2: we possibly can, and figure out what start they wanted
- 13:28Speaker 2: to pair with ty Resent Pascota next year and trade
- 13:30Speaker 2: the niggas.
- 13:31Speaker 5: So we jump ahead a lot on the pod. So
- 13:34Speaker 5: if y'all was in that seat in position to pick
- 13:38Speaker 5: a player for next year? What type of player would
- 13:40Speaker 5: you go after? And if you got a name, say
- 13:42Speaker 5: the name that you would pick up for the Pacers.
- 13:45Speaker 4: Yeah, uh, they need to start. They need Ja, they
- 13:49Speaker 4: need from Kansas.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Their Pierson would be perfect.
- 13:52Speaker 4: They need him. They need one of them. Boo Boozer
- 13:56Speaker 4: Twin is good, but you can get that. Not saying
- 14:01Speaker 4: no disrespect to him. I think he but he just
- 14:03Speaker 4: not as dynamic as those other two.
- 14:05Speaker 1: But he can play.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Yeah, he a killer, but they need a wing scorer
- 14:11Speaker 4: and Edwards tight. Yeah, I can put Butts in the seats.
- 14:15Speaker 4: I'm excited to see him because they thought they was
- 14:17Speaker 4: getting that math. But he's still is an exciting player.
- 14:20Speaker 4: But Rick just don't like him. So you need somebody
- 14:23Speaker 4: who's the number one two pick where you got to
- 14:25Speaker 4: be forced to play.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Yep.
- 14:26Speaker 2: And also money isn't played for business year too, It's
- 14:29Speaker 2: time for him to get an extension.
- 14:31Speaker 1: I just mean, like, so y'all pick a no question.
- 14:34Speaker 2: I mean if we go pick yes, a j run
- 14:36Speaker 2: it if we can get to it, get there Pearson
- 14:38Speaker 2: pull up A.
- 14:40Speaker 4: Sleeper pick for me would be Mike Hill Brown only
- 14:43Speaker 4: I know y'all got tyres on god on something, but

- 15:43Speaker 4: don't know what he gonna look like. In college is
- 15:44Speaker 4: a completely different game than the NBA. Yeah, but when
- 15:48Speaker 4: he makes it the NBA, he's gonna be good as ship.
- 15:51Speaker 1: If you had to drop him on the team, though,
- 15:53Speaker 1: what team would you drop him? Ball?
- 15:56Speaker 5: Hopefully the Patiers, you know, if he's available, But I'm saying,

- 16:20Speaker 4: He's just one of my favorite players in that class.
- 16:22Speaker 4: And I think this class coming up is the I
- 16:25Speaker 4: think this is the class. Like everybody was high on
- 16:27Speaker 4: this class or whatever. I thought it was just okay, yeah,
- 16:31Speaker 4: it was top heavy, that's what it was. It was
- 16:33Speaker 4: very high time. But it's some players in that class.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Twenty five twenty six class. There's some killers in that class.
- 16:38Speaker 1: For shore.
- 16:38Speaker 4: Can you go to the rankings to the twenty five
- 16:41Speaker 4: twenty six class whatever class.
- 16:42Speaker 1: It is, twenty twenty five class, alright, you like.
- 16:49Speaker 4: The high school ranking, Like, yeah, it's some killers in
- 16:51Speaker 4: the Ajdvansa obviously.
- 16:55Speaker 1: That Peterson.
- 16:56Speaker 4: Yeahs was a dog co too. It's another one that
- 16:59Speaker 4: can is this nice person?
- 17:01Speaker 1: Till it good too? Yeah yeah, yeah, hove too. Yeah.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Look at some of these names. Boy, they admitt it's
- 17:14Speaker 1: hard there.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Kids.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I never heard that.
- 17:19Speaker 4: You'll see him in the draft. Don't worry, he go TODs.
- 17:22Speaker 4: Yeah you're going to Arkansas.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Nice, come on, brilin Big Andy.
- 17:32Speaker 5: Believe Thomas is a favorite point guard this year, right, Yeah,
- 17:39Speaker 5: that's that's my boy right there.
- 17:41Speaker 2: They got some killers in this class, but I think
- 17:43Speaker 2: I think he's in that town. Yeah, man, I like them.
- 17:50Speaker 4: It's top heavy too, but it's still gonna be some
- 17:54Speaker 4: guys in college like the high Betiphord yeah, and some
- 17:58Speaker 4: of the other dudes that came back for the sophomore season. Yeah,
- 18:03Speaker 4: you might go crazy if there, but it's a lot
- 18:07Speaker 4: of guys that came back because you know that many
- 18:08Speaker 4: people that enter the draft this year, so some guys
- 18:11Speaker 4: that came back.
- 18:11Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a really good draft.
- 18:13Speaker 4: But I just think Michiel Brown, man, I just think
- 18:16Speaker 4: when I watched him play, bro just jump off the
- 18:18Speaker 4: page like that.
- 18:19Speaker 3: As an NBA player, Bro how.
- 18:21Speaker 2: You feel about seeing Jerman fears. That's how I think
- 18:24Speaker 2: both of us feel about.
- 18:25Speaker 1: I think Malik Thomas might have a Jeremidhir year this year.
- 18:28Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 18:29Speaker 5: There's just so many people at Arkansas is dynamic. If
- 18:32Speaker 5: he starts, you got there's two more people.
- 18:36Speaker 4: You still got Carter Knox there, Yeah, you got. There
- 18:39Speaker 4: is Darius Acuff going there and he's he's him. Yeah
- 18:43Speaker 4: you still you got j Wagon was still at Arkansas.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Oh you know, you know right he stayed home. You
- 18:54Speaker 1: got the other.
- 18:54Speaker 4: Lefty Damn the freshman that was a freshman in Arkansas
- 18:58Speaker 4: last year that came off the bench and was playing
- 19:00Speaker 4: well FORGOT.
- 19:01Speaker 2: So this might be a development year. I mean he
- 19:04Speaker 2: might go crazy because he's raw.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I mean they had two people come off the bench
- 19:08Speaker 1: go top five of the year before. So he's the
- 19:12Speaker 1: color party recipe.
- 19:13Speaker 5: No, for sure, Bro, he male Thomas. Bro is a
- 19:17Speaker 5: special kid. I seen him here at UH. I don't
- 19:20Speaker 5: know what they call that ship. It was when the
- 19:21Speaker 5: E Y b L stops last year. He went crazy
- 19:25Speaker 5: bro at Pack at the Pack Center. Yeah, that's when
- 19:27Speaker 5: I became a fan. And then I think I believes
- 19:29Speaker 5: played for OT this year.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some talent, bro, Because I was even looking
- 19:33Speaker 1: at that that Louisville team.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Shout out to Naptown, Royn Conbo going there, they got
- 19:38Speaker 2: two other Transpress's crazy Love was gonna be nasty this year.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Bro. If then goes all the way, Bro, we have
- 19:44Speaker 1: a final fourteen?
- 19:45Speaker 6: Bro?
- 19:46Speaker 5: Could we get tickets to that? Not saying like free,
- 19:49Speaker 5: what I'm saying, could we buy tickets or do a
- 19:51Speaker 5: Louiver game to a Louisville game.
- 19:52Speaker 1: They already be gone, like UK, Ship, you can get
- 19:55Speaker 1: some tickets, you go.
- 19:57Speaker 5: Yeah, they played in the Ship. Yeah, you know a
- 20:01Speaker 5: little more up straight though. I would love to go
- 20:02Speaker 5: see them hoop though. I just you know you can, Ship.
- 20:05Speaker 4: They probably can go to a practice. I call coach Keil,
- 20:07Speaker 4: so we just want to come to a practice.
- 20:09Speaker 1: I want to, Bro, Bro, I want to. I want
- 20:12Speaker 1: us to do that for sure, nah Man shout out
- 20:15Speaker 1: to them. Man.
- 20:15Speaker 2: College basketball looking looking very prompt and again like you said,
- 20:18Speaker 2: a lot of people saying and you got people coming back.
- 20:20Speaker 1: I think that's gonna turn the game up. Yeah, college
- 20:22Speaker 1: basketball is gonna be fire this year.
- 20:25Speaker 2: But Ship, just talking to Commission Siver, he was just
- 20:28Speaker 2: like well, it's a good idea that they should stay.
- 20:29Speaker 2: That's that's saying something. They're like, hey, you can go
- 20:31Speaker 2: to draft you want to. I've seen a little bit
- 20:34Speaker 2: of the summer League. I didn't even see the real
- 20:35Speaker 2: summer league yet, but I'm like, yeah, it's vicious, and
- 20:37Speaker 2: especially everybody fighting for these roster spots now with money
- 20:40Speaker 2: being scarce in the NBA.
- 20:41Speaker 4: Boy, yeah, make as much money in college as you can.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Let's shot a little fire first round pick.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Bro.
- 20:46Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I was watching what's the thing from Utah Ace, Bro,
- 20:52Speaker 5: It's a lot of niggas trying to get their work
- 20:54Speaker 5: in in Utah.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Bro Bright sense Ball was out there hooping like he
- 20:57Speaker 2: don't play minutes in the league.
- 20:58Speaker 5: Bro, heys, uh right on, be nasty. Damn niggas is
- 21:03Speaker 5: the same drink this motherfucker little yo.
- 21:06Speaker 1: It looked like my drug test. Nah, ain't passing that one.
- 21:12Speaker 1: But there was some jokes.
- 21:14Speaker 2: They were just like you taller league, they real teams out.
- 21:19Speaker 1: The squalid bro An Association. Bro com down.
- 21:23Speaker 5: But it seemed like, you know, and I know Bro
- 21:25Speaker 5: probably can speak from experience, of course, but that Utah team,
- 21:28Speaker 5: it seemed like everybody out there it's like, hey, nigga,
- 21:31Speaker 5: I'm trying to get paid.
- 21:33Speaker 1: They are.
- 21:34Speaker 4: They're all young, like Isaiah Coer his first year. Yeah,
- 21:38Speaker 4: they're all trying to show themselves too, Like, don't a baby.
- 21:41Speaker 1: He could not get comfortable yet. The other day I
- 21:44Speaker 1: was watching him.
- 21:45Speaker 4: That's how it's gonna be. They want to hoop too. Yeah, Bro,
- 21:48Speaker 4: they draft you here. Bro, don't think you're about to
- 21:50Speaker 4: come here.
- 21:51Speaker 1: I mean, I don't put too much into a summer league.
- 21:53Speaker 3: Putting nothing in the summer league, yeah.
- 21:55Speaker 1: I don't.
- 21:55Speaker 5: I don't put too much. But I'm like, seeing him
- 21:58Speaker 5: out there, I was like, damn, he can't really get
- 22:00Speaker 5: comfortable for real.
- 22:01Speaker 4: I've seen so many people killed summer league and never
- 22:04Speaker 4: get in the game in the NBA. You talking about that,
- 22:07Speaker 4: No disrespected Josh Selby. He's one of the best summer league.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Players ever know, Jeff, he is the best. Bro. He
- 22:15Speaker 1: murdered something. Murder everybody uniform league. He used to kill
- 22:24Speaker 1: summer Leakyrie cat.
- 22:30Speaker 3: That's what you said that they just never seen it
- 22:32Speaker 3: pan out in the league.
- 22:34Speaker 4: I mean he probably didn't get the opportunity or whatever,
- 22:36Speaker 4: but never paying out in the league. But in some
- 22:38Speaker 4: of league he looked like ship, like, what is he
- 22:41Speaker 4: doing out here?
- 22:42Speaker 1: But he was in some league? Did you think it
- 22:43Speaker 1: was green?
- 22:44Speaker 2: Like?
- 22:45Speaker 3: I had a terrible summer league.
- 22:47Speaker 4: I knew I was an NBA player though, Yeah, Like
- 22:50Speaker 4: because the thing is some of everybody going for them
- 22:53Speaker 4: and in real life, you know, like when you get
- 22:55Speaker 4: to the league, you're not gonna be to shoot that shot.
- 22:58Speaker 4: You definitely wouldn't shoot that. Joe gonna be right there.
- 23:02Speaker 4: I'm gonna be the one picking pop with al ain't
- 23:07Speaker 4: gonna be this sad nigga. You're not gonna be able
- 23:09Speaker 4: to just come down and ice saw somebody. No, that
- 23:12Speaker 4: ain't real life. But then you got people out there
- 23:15Speaker 4: who just play hard naturally can get buckets and shit,
- 23:18Speaker 4: and it just don't translate to the league because you
- 23:20Speaker 4: ain't gonna have a ball like that.
- 23:23Speaker 5: I wonder if it has been like some success stories
- 23:25Speaker 5: like somebody that didn't get drafted.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Yeah, Austin Reeves, Austin Reeves murderer killed summer league. Yeah
- 23:33Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how he got a chance. He was undrafted,
- 23:36Speaker 2: went out there and got a spot. Granted, obviously he
- 23:38Speaker 2: was drafted, but Dovin Mitchell Dobin. Mitchell did in the
- 23:41Speaker 2: Summer League, got him that the data contract and kind
- 23:43Speaker 2: of set the tone. But I'm talking about somebody from Michael.
- 23:45Speaker 5: Like I said Austin Reeve's perspective, I didn't know how
- 23:48Speaker 5: that go, Like how hard is it to like, Okay,
- 23:50Speaker 5: I killed in the Summer League. Im my average fifteen
- 23:52Speaker 5: to twenty. Then I go to training camp, like.
- 23:55Speaker 4: He gotta translate to when you get there, like you're
- 23:57Speaker 4: trying to obviously you're trying to kill some league to
- 23:59Speaker 4: get an invite to the camp, right what they call
- 24:02Speaker 4: veterans camp, real training camp.
- 24:04Speaker 1: So you kill there, you get there, then you got
- 24:06Speaker 1: a final role.
- 24:07Speaker 4: I use Caruso as an example, like he came in,
- 24:10Speaker 4: played defense, played this role, Like, oh damn, we can
- 24:12Speaker 4: use them as a defender. He can play hard, he
- 24:15Speaker 4: can do this, or Austin Reeves case, like damn, this
- 24:17Speaker 4: nigga can really just hoop. He can shoot, he can score,
- 24:20Speaker 4: he can do a little bit of everything. We like
- 24:21Speaker 4: this kid, and he just got a way different opportunity
- 24:24Speaker 4: than most people. But most people gotta find this little role.
- 24:26Speaker 4: It's either you a good knockdown shooter. I'm a really
- 24:29Speaker 4: good defender, a good rebounder, or whatever it is the
- 24:31Speaker 4: team need they looking for and you just kind of
- 24:34Speaker 4: fit that mode. But like you averaging twenty five, it's
- 24:37Speaker 4: probably not gonna have it.
- 24:38Speaker 5: Yeah, So you're saying, don't go into the training camp
- 24:41Speaker 5: trying to beat the nigga he was in summer Na.
- 24:43Speaker 4: That's not gonna be You obviously be aggressive, playoff game,
- 24:46Speaker 4: but you're gonna have to final role. Like you should
- 24:47Speaker 4: ask an assistant coach whoever it is, like, man, what
- 24:52Speaker 4: what's it like?
- 24:53Speaker 3: What do the team need? What do they expect from me?
- 24:54Speaker 3: They can be, oh, we need you to play defense,
- 24:56Speaker 3: go hard.
- 24:57Speaker 4: Run the lane, and they'll tell you what they need,
- 25:00Speaker 4: and you should try to go perfect that and then
- 25:02Speaker 4: make corner threes.
- 25:03Speaker 1: You know all.
- 25:03Speaker 3: I'm saying you're gonna have a job, Yeah.
- 25:07Speaker 5: Because I don't think a lot of kids get that game.
- 25:10Speaker 5: Because if you go into some league, like man, this
- 25:11Speaker 5: ship might be light how the average dub, then you
- 25:15Speaker 5: might get discouraged when you get to you know what
- 25:17Speaker 5: I mean. So the training Kevin my bucks say my nigga,
- 25:20Speaker 5: I need you to hit that corner there, Bro, Nigga,
- 25:23Speaker 5: get at her and shuffling your feet.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Got damn Yeah, I know you average went your college, bro,
- 25:26Speaker 2: but so everybody else is frosting what you're gonna do.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Now, you gotta go play a role. That's the hardest adjustment.
- 25:33Speaker 4: Like I give you an example. Jordan Crawford, which our brother.
- 25:36Speaker 4: We love him to death. Yeah, obviously we know he
- 25:39Speaker 4: could score in bunches. He was a prolific scorer. He
- 25:42Speaker 4: was a first round pick. But in Atlanta, he couldn't
- 25:45Speaker 4: figure out, like, why I'm not playing you know what
- 25:48Speaker 4: I mean? Yeah, because we got you already, got Jamal Crawford,
- 25:52Speaker 4: we got Joe Johnson. We got these dudes that score
- 25:55Speaker 4: already in your position. If he would have played defense
- 25:58Speaker 4: and locked up whatever, he probably would have played for me.
- 26:04Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I'm being.
- 26:05Speaker 4: Real, because shit, you can't leave him in the corner.
- 26:08Speaker 3: He's gonna knock that bitch down.
- 26:09Speaker 1: He's saying that your game that you was.
- 26:12Speaker 4: Yeah, but the difference was I picked the ball up
- 26:15Speaker 4: full court. A point guard gonna pick up full court
- 26:19Speaker 4: and make a pocket pass. I'm gonna kick it the Joe,
- 26:21Speaker 4: gett in the lane, kick it the Joe. He getting
- 26:22Speaker 4: in the lane. He would score that bitch. He coming
- 26:25Speaker 4: off the pick, I might be over for that pocket pass.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Three ball he hit that bitch.
- 26:31Speaker 1: He ain't doing nothing wrong.
- 26:32Speaker 3: He ain't doing it wrong. That's not that's not looking.
- 26:35Speaker 3: That ain't the road we're looking for.
- 26:37Speaker 1: So you knew as soon as you got the training
- 26:39Speaker 1: camp that.
- 26:39Speaker 3: I because I've been there my first.
- 26:43Speaker 4: When I first got the training camp, I didn't do
- 26:44Speaker 4: Summer league, so I had a mini camp, and I'm
- 26:48Speaker 4: averaging forty four points a game. I'm like, I can
- 26:53Speaker 4: score better than everybody. I'm better than everybody. Then when
- 26:56Speaker 4: I got there, I was still playing like that. I
- 27:00Speaker 4: never got in the game, So you like, the fuck
- 27:02Speaker 4: am I doing wrong? And then Nick benn Exell put
- 27:04Speaker 4: me to this. I was like, he made twenty eight
- 27:07Speaker 4: million dollars a year, he made fourteen, he make fifteen,
- 27:10Speaker 4: he make a he make a he make you know,
- 27:13Speaker 4: pointed out, He's like, you make one.
- 27:17Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, I'm better than niggas. He was like,
- 27:20Speaker 3: do he want to play with you? Boss?
- 27:22Speaker 4: Like do Joe want you on his team? I'm like,
- 27:24Speaker 4: I don't know. He was like axing, like, Joe, you
- 27:26Speaker 4: want me on your team? Like shit, I don't know
- 27:28Speaker 4: what you can do with y'r fellow man, I don't know.
- 27:29Speaker 4: He was like, he don't want you on your team.
- 27:32Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, yeah, like he don't want you
- 27:35Speaker 4: on the team, you know.
- 27:35Speaker 1: I was like why. He was like, you ain't looking
- 27:37Speaker 1: for him. He's like that nigga.
- 27:38Speaker 4: Want to score that nigga wanna make the All Star team.
- 27:40Speaker 4: You gotta learn how to find this nigga. And when
- 27:43Speaker 4: he passed to you, make your shot, he don't want to.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Play with you.
- 27:46Speaker 4: I figured that shit out. Get the ball to Joe,
- 27:49Speaker 4: look for Joe, running down full speed, find Joe. I
- 27:53Speaker 4: started doing that Joe like, you don't.
- 27:54Speaker 1: Feel it gonna be ah, you don't feel it gonna
- 27:57Speaker 1: be light.
- 27:58Speaker 7: You don't feel it gonna be alright.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Saying I was doing that so much.
- 28:02Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Josh like, all you do is
- 28:03Speaker 1: past the ball to joke.
- 28:06Speaker 4: Okay, let me feed Josh a little bit, throw him
- 28:08Speaker 4: a couple of paths, throw him alive here and there.
- 28:11Speaker 4: I was like, fuck scoring, I'm just gonna be the
- 28:12Speaker 4: best passer. Al sudden, Josh like, cool, you're gonna be
- 28:18Speaker 4: You keep working on this ship, man, you're gonna be
- 28:20Speaker 4: You're gonna be.
- 28:21Speaker 3: Like, Okay, just get these niggas the ball.
- 28:22Speaker 1: They like you cool.
- 28:24Speaker 5: Yeah that was that was never Jordan's game. No, I
- 28:29Speaker 5: mean that was not never your game. But you was
- 28:31Speaker 5: more willing to adjust him.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan like I'm better than him.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Me.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I'm like.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Joe had excell in my ears shout to Nick.
- 28:40Speaker 4: He'd just be like, man, you you can get eight
- 28:43Speaker 4: million dollars nigga funk all that averaging twenty niggas get
- 28:48Speaker 4: eight million dollars nig He was like, once you get

- 29:01Speaker 1: I like that. That's good.
- 29:02Speaker 5: She was able to listen and adjust though quick because
- 29:06Speaker 5: I don't even know. But see then, like I say, now,
- 29:09Speaker 5: I feel like a lot of kids don't respect the
- 29:11Speaker 5: old heads. We were still in that merriage, like damn,

- 30:08Speaker 3: Damn.
- 30:08Speaker 5: He adjusted a lot to the league too, he had to, Bro.
- 30:11Speaker 5: But I'm saying Joe came in that motherfucker like he
- 30:14Speaker 5: was running the one in Phoenix, like the legit one.
- 30:17Speaker 5: I never thought that Joe was no but I'm saying,
- 30:21Speaker 5: I mean he was the backup one. Yeah, Joe was
- 30:23Speaker 5: the backup fucking point guard in Phoenix. And to see
- 30:25Speaker 5: him like when I saw him a person, because he
- 30:28Speaker 5: always said like bigger, bigger than what you think. I'm like,
- 30:32Speaker 5: hell no, bro, Thigga, biggest Lebron James Bro. And I'm like, damn,
- 30:36Speaker 5: Now he's like the star of the team. That's crazy
- 30:40Speaker 5: at Bro, because what was he like was he six
- 30:43Speaker 5: minutes on the team?
- 30:44Speaker 4: Yeah he started with him, but like fifteen yeah from
- 30:49Speaker 4: the three Richard was there too, right, And I'm a
- 30:52Speaker 4: whip bro.
- 30:53Speaker 5: And for him to lead that team, I'm like, Dad,
- 30:55Speaker 5: he didn't have like a James Harden effect almost you
- 30:58Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.
- 30:59Speaker 3: I went to Atlanta and turned that bit up franchise.
- 31:02Speaker 1: That ship was crazy, Bro.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Nigga said, that's a you So Joe.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Joe out the gate man shouts a nigga. Next man
- 31:11Speaker 2: shot his pots and he got the pot.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Bro shout to my dog quick.
- 31:16Speaker 1: That number nine like your jersey bro Lesiondarry.
- 31:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, man, because you talk about people not
- 31:22Speaker 2: even listening to people like that. Even in his situation
- 31:24Speaker 2: now like Bro ain't no overhead, but it's a lot
- 31:26Speaker 2: of people who have conversation with him and still not
- 31:28Speaker 2: really take the game.
- 31:29Speaker 5: I'm tapped in with these kids I like to stay around,
- 31:32Speaker 5: like just to pick their brains with ship.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Bro.
- 31:36Speaker 5: And I'm not gonna say they don't have no respect.
- 31:38Speaker 5: They just genuinely don't give a fuck about what a
- 31:40Speaker 5: nigga did in the past.
- 31:42Speaker 3: They don't They do not.
- 31:44Speaker 5: Care if you was a McDonald's all American, all this
- 31:46Speaker 5: ship that they trying to reach, they automatically thinking like
- 31:49Speaker 5: right now, bush your ass. Yeah, Bro, you're not robbing him.
- 31:53Speaker 5: But that's who gets praised. Well, he was working, Bro.
- 31:57Speaker 5: This is what a shout out. I don't know his romel, Bro.
- 32:01Speaker 5: Romelo is a guy, Bro, a guy bro shout out
- 32:05Speaker 5: to a little Romelo. But he's not like one of
- 32:08Speaker 5: the best basketball players. That's why I'm like, fame takes
- 32:11Speaker 5: over like work ethic for real. He like this big
- 32:15Speaker 5: but he can jump out the gym.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Bro.
- 32:16Speaker 5: But I'm like, damn, he's not even one of the
- 32:18Speaker 5: best players in here, and he getting more love than
- 32:21Speaker 5: all these niggas.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Bro. That's when I knew times have really changed though
- 32:25Speaker 2: even a little recent his homeboys, I'll tell them about
- 32:27Speaker 2: something that like he played ot and I'll say no
- 32:30Speaker 2: that They're like, Okay, I'm like, damn, Bro.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Like it's a lot of good people out here.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Bro.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the fact that ship in culture in high school.
- 32:37Speaker 4: Bro, Like I had to literally play for them to
- 32:40Speaker 4: respect what I'm saying, like to it, like I have
- 32:43Speaker 4: to go out there and be like kill him, and
- 32:47Speaker 4: they'll be like, I'm like, like, you stronger than me,
- 32:50Speaker 4: you faster than me. You did I'm like, duh, nigga,
- 32:52Speaker 4: I'm better than you. Then I was like, I was
- 32:57Speaker 4: like to make it worse, like when I was your age,
- 32:59Speaker 4: I was younger and faster back then. Like I was like,
- 33:03Speaker 4: I don't do none of that ship no more. I
- 33:05Speaker 4: don't even who. But they don't. They don't understand. They
- 33:08Speaker 4: be like, you not that you ain't that when the
- 33:11Speaker 4: league you only average sixteen, You be like, okay, you
- 33:16Speaker 4: might not.
- 33:16Speaker 3: Make it to the league, And then you can't say
- 33:17Speaker 3: that because it's.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Like you don't want to kill them. Yeah only average sixteen,
- 33:22Speaker 1: you know, you know what, sixteen points and they will
- 33:23Speaker 1: get you.
- 33:24Speaker 5: That's what bothers me the most is just that they
- 33:26Speaker 5: genuinely don't understand. That piss me off the most because
- 33:29Speaker 5: they have the talent, it is.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Just the work, bro.
- 33:32Speaker 4: They live in such a different world that like the
- 33:35Speaker 4: NBA people are so accessible, Like you can go on Instagram,
- 33:38Speaker 4: you can go wherever and you can always see your
- 33:40Speaker 4: favorite NBA player. You can go to a Peach jam
- 33:43Speaker 4: Au tournament and one of your favorite NBA players team
- 33:47Speaker 4: is there. He there, Yeah, he talking to you, He
- 33:49Speaker 4: joking with you. He he accessible. It don't feel like
- 33:53Speaker 4: a unrealistic thing anymore.
- 33:55Speaker 1: True.
- 33:56Speaker 3: So when they talk to you now, they ain't really unrealistic.
- 33:58Speaker 1: It's like it's the norm, you man, I know, I
- 34:03Speaker 1: know right, I know him. I know man.
- 34:05Speaker 4: I've seen me and was talking the other day and
- 34:07Speaker 4: average twenty eight. Bro, you ever sixteen?
- 34:09Speaker 1: You not like you be? Like, do you know how
- 34:13Speaker 1: far removed you are from Anthony Aver? No facts? Facts? Yeah?
- 34:18Speaker 5: Bro, that's You're right, bro. I guess that's what it is,
- 34:20Speaker 5: respecially how far where you remove from me let alone. Hey, Okay,
- 34:26Speaker 5: I'll be saying how they talk, and I think I
- 34:28Speaker 5: fuck with it because I love to see kids with
- 34:31Speaker 5: high confidence. Yeah, but I still be wanting them to understand, like,
- 34:35Speaker 5: come on, man, bring it back to real life with
- 34:37Speaker 5: this ship at least a little.
- 34:39Speaker 4: Bit like being It's like we made the NBA look
- 34:42Speaker 4: too easy being from Indianapolis, yep, because you were so many,
- 34:46Speaker 4: You're so random that you would just see somebody pop
- 34:49Speaker 4: up to the league, like shout out to the young
- 34:51Speaker 4: boy from South being they got very small. Yeah, it
- 34:54Speaker 4: just seemed easy. It just seemed like, all right, if
- 34:56Speaker 4: I go to college and average eighteen, I'm get drafted.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Yeah that's how I feel.
- 35:02Speaker 1: They think no matter where you go.
- 35:04Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how I feel.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Like, it don't seem like oh yeah, oh boy, Like
- 35:10Speaker 4: you see Kyle guy, like Kyle got went to the league, Like,
- 35:13Speaker 4: I'm like, it ain't that easy, bro, Like, man, I
- 35:17Speaker 4: gave Kyle god buckets before you, Like I.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Heard the motherfucker speak on Yogi like that. I was like, yeah,
- 35:23Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 35:23Speaker 4: But it's so many players from around here and made
- 35:26Speaker 4: it so it make it seem like it's damn there, like.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Now you gotta do with be damn all you gonna
- 35:31Speaker 3: make the league. Bro. That's how they feel.
- 35:34Speaker 2: That's crazy, man. But like you said, it is different.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Accessibility is something totally different. At this age, you didn't
- 35:40Speaker 2: because I mean even we left to our old head too,
- 35:42Speaker 2: we probably didn't give a fuck as much as they did.
- 35:45Speaker 2: But we just probably had a lesser accessibility rate to
- 35:48Speaker 2: everybody else. So it's still meant something when you've seen it.
- 35:50Speaker 3: Now, I ain't gonna lie.
- 35:52Speaker 4: When I seen a person that made to the league,
- 35:55Speaker 4: it wasn't about to make it to the league. Like
- 35:57Speaker 4: the thing made me respect. I just look at their
- 35:59Speaker 4: car real, yeah, like Off the Ripper, Like Chris Thomas
- 36:04Speaker 4: had a Champagne range. He ain't make it to the league,
- 36:07Speaker 4: but he was making a million whatever he was overseas
- 36:09Speaker 4: and automatically, I'm like, Dan, you know what I mean?
- 36:14Speaker 3: These niggas got range rovers in college.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Now it's like that's all about saying.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Now the difference is an I l sixteen seventeen, they
- 36:22Speaker 2: might be up one hundred bands.
- 36:24Speaker 3: They like what I got a meal to go to Kentucky?
- 36:26Speaker 3: What you talking about?
- 36:27Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Nah, that's definitely the difference.
- 36:30Speaker 5: When I used to see Oh NBAF, I'm like, damn bro,
- 36:32Speaker 5: that's really even a nigga like no disrespect, Like Dereck.
- 36:36Speaker 2: I'm like, damn bro, you really like available for me
- 36:39Speaker 2: to talk to? Like go Bro was me and this
- 36:41Speaker 2: hell like you know you.
- 36:43Speaker 7: Know what I'm saying.
- 36:44Speaker 5: He wasn't like Jordan's. But I'm like, I still respected you, cause, nigga,
- 36:48Speaker 5: you literally made it. You come from nothing, bro, Like
- 36:51Speaker 5: that shit is a thing. Kids are so spoiled now
- 36:53Speaker 5: they this nigga was weak.
- 36:56Speaker 7: They don't go to you being weak, not your fuck
- 36:59Speaker 7: your jersey.
- 37:03Speaker 2: Hell made to the league, was tracked niggas. D Davids
- 37:07Speaker 2: x Bow was gig bro. They weren't violent.
- 37:09Speaker 5: And I met Travis Best nigga at the Black ex
- 37:12Speaker 5: BO shout out to fucking Imperis nigga.

- 38:14Speaker 4: the little kids like seeing like re seeing some of
- 38:16Speaker 4: the OT players, he might get that feeling because they so.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Was like a ten year gap.
- 38:24Speaker 2: You think social media would have ruined you if we
- 38:28Speaker 2: had it in eighth grade? Nah, because I still was
- 38:31Speaker 2: just a basketball here. I knew how like impossible that
- 38:34Speaker 2: shit was.
- 38:35Speaker 4: I was realistic, like Nigga the NBA, bro, Like it
- 38:39Speaker 4: just didn't even feel like a real thing.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Like the NBA don't feel real, Bro. You don't think
- 38:44Speaker 3: nobody can make it to the NBA.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Yeah you know what, especially even like in your situation
- 38:50Speaker 2: about you was the first round pick.
- 38:51Speaker 1: The teams rock with you.
- 38:52Speaker 2: You made your way, but like even just hear the
- 38:53Speaker 2: stuff that you had to go through, I'm like, that
- 38:55Speaker 2: shit crazy. I can imagine for people who don't get drafted,
- 38:58Speaker 2: for people whose second round picks. You gotta go through
- 39:00Speaker 2: place to place a place to make a team that
- 39:02Speaker 2: ship does sound impossible.
- 39:03Speaker 4: And me being short. Man, the first NBA player I've
- 39:07Speaker 4: seen was Bonzie Wills. When you see Bonzie Willis, he's
- 39:10Speaker 4: six five six six, You like, yo, No, I ain't

- 40:20Speaker 5: media Bro been up through there, Bro.
- 40:23Speaker 3: OJ may have been the most famous.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Ever nigga kid ever, Bro Prodigy six five seventh grade. Bro,
- 40:31Speaker 2: he would be playing varsity high school Nigga.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Bro.
- 40:34Speaker 2: What about Bron though, I was gonna say, I imagine
- 40:36Speaker 2: the Hummer scandal with Instagram, Bro, it would have been.

- 40:43Speaker 5: of a car with them all them nigga would have
- 40:45Speaker 5: got behind Bron though.
- 40:48Speaker 1: They would have Bro. But I'm saying OJ was more

- 40:52Speaker 2: Yeah, OJ got fights and ship. Yeah this is different
- 40:57Speaker 2: than him and Bell Walker.

- 50:07Speaker 2: May were crazy, Mark Vian, But how did you get there?
- 50:09Speaker 1: Man? Going crazy in Tennessee? What was that like hooping
- 50:11Speaker 1: down there in Memphis? Man? Man?
- 50:13Speaker 6: Growing up Memphis had some good basketball, some good players
- 50:17Speaker 6: that some went into the league. Some you know, it
- 50:20Speaker 6: was good, very good college players growing up in Memphis.
- 50:23Speaker 6: You know, it was it was fun just being on
- 50:25Speaker 6: the floor, being there. I knew I definitely wanted to
- 50:28Speaker 6: get away with my college decision, and it was actually
- 50:32Speaker 6: crazy because my high school coach was old teammates with
- 50:36Speaker 6: with a coach who was on staff and Marquette, and
- 50:39Speaker 6: he basically ended up hitting them up and then we
- 50:40Speaker 6: went went out there for a team camp. They recruited
- 50:44Speaker 6: me for like a year. Man took them a year
- 50:45Speaker 6: to offer. Mess committed a week later. I knew that's
- 50:47Speaker 6: why I want. I knew that's where I wanted to go.
- 50:50Speaker 1: Okay, I heard you play center at one point. Yeah,
- 50:53Speaker 1: I played center high school. I was.
- 50:57Speaker 6: I was the tallest player on the floor for real.
- 50:58Speaker 6: We had a big we had a we had a
- 51:00Speaker 6: bigger football player. But he was a football player. He
- 51:03Speaker 6: wasn't really you know everybody football. I'm everybody basketball team.
- 51:06Speaker 6: He couldn't hoop for real though. He wasn't who won
- 51:10Speaker 6: his main sport he was. He had Clemson of football
- 51:12Speaker 6: right now, so doing this thing cool he had at.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Here and found.
- 51:20Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely played the five man did big man
- 51:22Speaker 6: drews every day in practice at the skills balls.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Uh.
- 51:26Speaker 6: But it's crazy how that translated because I made I
- 51:28Speaker 6: shot hella jump hooks this past year, like jump hook
- 51:31Speaker 6: and spind jump hooks, and you know that it's just automatic,
- 51:34Speaker 6: just from all the work I put in that year.
- 51:36Speaker 1: So did you play one and five in high school
- 51:38Speaker 1: or did your coach let you know, be versatile or yeah,
- 51:40Speaker 1: a little bit.
- 51:41Speaker 2: We had a we had a younger point guard that
- 51:43Speaker 2: was that was pretty good, so he had the ball
- 51:45Speaker 2: most of the time.
- 51:46Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that's crazy.
- 51:48Speaker 4: Went from center to actually being a point guard now
- 51:51Speaker 4: about to be a point guard in the NBA. It
- 51:53Speaker 4: ain't no way in Hill coach would have told me
- 51:55Speaker 4: to play center.
- 51:56Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm trying to figure out
- 51:58Speaker 7: how you was finessing man.
- 51:59Speaker 1: Bro, You I ain't gonna love, Bro.
- 52:01Speaker 6: I was getting doubled, like in the post catching the
- 52:03Speaker 6: post catch, instant double.
- 52:05Speaker 5: Gotta make it work, ran live, bro short guys, you
- 52:09Speaker 5: my new favorite player. But I didn't know that, Bro
- 52:12Speaker 5: for you center. But make it to the n b
- 52:15Speaker 5: A as a PG. Bro, that's a hell of a journey.
- 52:18Speaker 2: Bro.
- 52:18Speaker 4: I thought he was posted. I thought he was just
- 52:20Speaker 4: jumping center and bringing them going to the post.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Right. You might get the post. You bigger than everybody.
- 52:26Speaker 7: You might got a smaller guard, but that's for you
- 52:27Speaker 7: to be a straight center.
- 52:29Speaker 1: Nigga. We got this guard. We don't need you bing.
- 52:33Speaker 6: I brought it. I ain't bring it up that much.
- 52:35Speaker 6: Sometimes I get a rebound and take it. But yeah,
- 52:36Speaker 6: we coachesould be like full round camp. We're trying to
- 52:39Speaker 6: feed it. Wow, that's crazy way you you got recruited.
- 52:45Speaker 1: What if I you.
- 52:49Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I don't want to get ahead, but you
- 52:52Speaker 2: gotta explain that it was different.
- 52:54Speaker 1: I played like the one two A okay, So.
- 52:57Speaker 7: I'm trying to forget how to funk.
- 52:58Speaker 1: You got rude. Give me the hell six four center.
- 53:04Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I was like, no, wonder it
- 53:06Speaker 1: took him a year. They ain't see something center.
- 53:11Speaker 2: A deal. It was fun though. It was definitely fun. Yeah, Hey,
- 53:15Speaker 2: I respect your mindset, bro, because you really locked in.
- 53:17Speaker 2: For you to be like, I'm going to mark he, Bro,
- 53:20Speaker 2: you got another point barre feed to I would.
- 53:22Speaker 1: Have had a problem. Yeah.
- 53:23Speaker 4: I would have been like, he got to come off
- 53:24Speaker 4: the bench, coach, I gotta play the five. I'm not
- 53:27Speaker 4: playing the one.
- 53:27Speaker 1: Bro. They never heard that in my life. Bro, we
- 53:31Speaker 1: have sat down.
- 53:31Speaker 5: I've known hell of basketball play before you destroyed played
- 53:34Speaker 5: center in high school and runner one to add you
- 53:36Speaker 5: you different, Bro, appreciate it, but for real.
- 53:39Speaker 4: That probably helps you though a lot because you probably
- 53:40Speaker 4: became a good rebounder.
- 53:41Speaker 1: It was definitely yeah, you know what I mean.
- 53:43Speaker 4: You can see the floor, you can play multiple positions.
- 53:45Speaker 4: You probably know one through five obviously, but that probably
- 53:48Speaker 4: helps your game expand.
- 53:49Speaker 1: For sure, especially in the paint like the paint finishing. Yeah,
- 53:53Speaker 1: it's definitely. M Marquette was the main people on you
- 53:56Speaker 1: or did you have any other looks?
- 53:58Speaker 6: I had some some good in majors Okay, yeah, I
- 54:02Speaker 6: kind of do. I wanted to go home major and
- 54:04Speaker 6: I knew it was possible for me. So once Marque offered,
- 54:07Speaker 6: I was like, yeah's pretty much where I want to go.
- 54:09Speaker 1: This is an offer.
- 54:11Speaker 3: Mm hmmmm.
- 54:13Speaker 1: Was a penny there there? Yeah? I had to be
- 54:15Speaker 1: That's all right, Bro, it happens. Bro. Is this rumor
- 54:20Speaker 1: any truth that wake Forest was interested in you?
- 54:23Speaker 5: Uh?
- 54:24Speaker 1: I think wake Forest might have shown interest. They didn't.
- 54:26Speaker 3: They weren't recruiting me for Okay, don't worry about it.
- 54:30Speaker 3: We make mistakes all the time.
- 54:33Speaker 2: Did they give you the ball right away? You had
- 54:34Speaker 2: to come in, you know what I mean? Mark at
- 54:36Speaker 2: Man coach smart? Was he really let us play so
- 54:40Speaker 2: like he kind of seen what I do.
- 54:42Speaker 1: Yeah, he'd go. Man.
- 54:43Speaker 2: But once he seen what I could do a little bit,
- 54:44Speaker 2: you know, he would pull me to the side as
- 54:46Speaker 2: a freshman, like you, when you get the ball, go score,
- 54:48Speaker 2: go be aggressive. Yeah he like he'd be talking ship
- 54:51Speaker 2: like go like scoring his ass, cam scoring him.
- 54:55Speaker 1: It's funny.
- 54:56Speaker 6: Now that's a player's dream. I was definitely definitely a
- 54:58Speaker 6: player's coach. Like he said that games like I had
- 55:01Speaker 6: a ball on the do.
- 55:03Speaker 1: Like just go that's him? Yeah for sure, show for sure,
- 55:10Speaker 1: kill him, like kill her, kill her, don't want to go?
- 55:16Speaker 1: That used to be the team tam catch right before.
- 55:19Speaker 5: If it's like you, that's dope because a lot of people,
- 55:23Speaker 5: they say a lot of people that I hadn't met
- 55:25Speaker 5: through this ship. They was like, when they get to school,
- 55:27Speaker 5: it'd be different than actual recruitments, Like, yeah, bro, this
- 55:29Speaker 5: ain't how you came to my house and told me
- 55:32Speaker 5: that was gonna be so for you to have that
- 55:34Speaker 5: instant love, that's far.

- 58:24Speaker 6: But yeah, once I got over pretty much, you know,
- 58:28Speaker 6: coach pulled me into his office and was like, Okay,
- 58:30Speaker 6: I'm not gonna go in the portal and fish for
- 58:32Speaker 6: no point guard because I think there's something you can
- 58:33Speaker 6: do for us at this level, for this team. So man,
- 58:37Speaker 6: putting a hell of work over the summer, working on
- 58:40Speaker 6: my game, watching individual film with teammates, getting our two
- 58:43Speaker 6: man game right, learning how you know more, learning more
- 58:47Speaker 6: about them as people, learning more about what they like,
- 58:50Speaker 6: what they like to do on the floor, and we

- 59:02Speaker 2: crazy just.
- 59:03Speaker 1: In college in general.
- 59:04Speaker 2: Uh, probably getting the triple double against Purdue because due
- 59:09Speaker 2: we we owed them.
- 59:11Speaker 1: They had beat us my sophomore year. We pretty much
- 59:15Speaker 1: had them.
- 59:15Speaker 2: We played them here, gave that game away, then we
- 59:18Speaker 2: lost him in the Malied Classic Championship.
- 59:21Speaker 1: That was painful, very painful.
- 59:23Speaker 6: It was it's a story behind that, but uh yeah,
- 59:26Speaker 6: so we played in my senior year and we was like, bro, y'all,
- 59:28Speaker 6: y'all not.
- 59:29Speaker 1: Beating us, bro. So that was pretty much our mindset for.
- 59:32Speaker 2: Y'all have to be the same conference, y'all playing three
- 59:34Speaker 2: times three times. Yeah, we turned into a home and
- 59:37Speaker 2: home after the Mali game. So my senior year and

- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: I had had a grade too hamstring like strain or tear.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: Sat out for a few h for a few weeks.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Then I was able to go to a few pre
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: draft workouts and do like one on nose shooting. So
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: I was just pretty much there on the sidelines, given energy,
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: talking ship, yeah, just encouraging people.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it was cool. And then I shot at the
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: end of workout, so it was it was pretty cool
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: pre draft process. So similar to you, that was.
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: Mom right there. I had sprained my m CL. I
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: had a great two spring my m C. I had
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: to sit out like that. I didn't really do no
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: shooting drills or nothing, but very similar to you.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: You went to song. Yeah, I went to Philly the
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: day before the draft and I shot in Indiana. That
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: was it. Let me stop you to set even on
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: a real tour. Yeah, real tour. Oh wow? All right.

- 1:06:12Speaker 1: Man?
- 1:06:13Speaker 6: First and foremost is getting stronger, Getting my body stronger.
- 1:06:16Speaker 6: In the league a long time, bodies are much more mature.
- 1:06:20Speaker 6: They know how to train. So you know, that's one area.
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: Making sure just getting faster, getting stronger, making sure my
- 1:06:25Speaker 6: body is prepared, and just cleaning everything up with both hands, passing,
- 1:06:30Speaker 6: finishing around the rim. Uh, you know my lad of
- 1:06:33Speaker 6: the movement for defense and because you know we're gonna
- 1:06:35Speaker 6: be picking up four yeah, yeah, you know, just constantly
- 1:06:38Speaker 6: working on that, getting reps in that, you know, because
- 1:06:41Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to know I'm already doing it. Just
- 1:06:44Speaker 6: adapting to the pace away, you know, really embodying that
- 1:06:47Speaker 6: embody and what that means.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: I was like, you know, you got drafted, boy, I
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: want to ask you make it trying to make it.

- 1:07:42Speaker 2: the idea where you make got drafted that or a promise? Uh?
- 1:07:47Speaker 6: I didn't get a promise. Well, I knew I was
- 1:07:51Speaker 6: going to Indiana when they traded up to get thirty eight. Okay,
- 1:07:55Speaker 6: I talked that out with my agent. We feel this
- 1:07:57Speaker 6: is this spot for me to be at, and it's
- 1:07:59Speaker 6: somewhere I wanted to go with, like I only wanted to, well,
- 1:08:02Speaker 6: I wanted to. I guess I preferred. I really didn't
- 1:08:05Speaker 6: care where I went. But if you would have had
- 1:08:07Speaker 6: to ask me, it was a.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: Few teams that I prefer Indiana with one of them
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: for sure.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: So I'll try to get him.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: That's a cool way to do it against I'm trying
