- 3:22Speaker 2: Man? Oh man, it's it's cool.
- 3:25Speaker 6: I mean, I still don't necessarily consider myself to man,
- 3:27Speaker 6: even though, like y'all say, I mean I do walk
- 3:30Speaker 6: around and kind of feel like a little bit, but
- 3:32Speaker 6: I just man, just it's nice.
- 3:34Speaker 2: It's fun. It's it is what it is.
- 3:36Speaker 5: I love it.
- 3:37Speaker 2: We love a humble KB.
- 3:38Speaker 4: We was at the game, man, Oklahoma is lit, but
- 3:42Speaker 4: like it was like a little background you growing up here, though, Man,
- 3:45Speaker 4: what's the cause you know how to ask my question,
- 3:48Speaker 4: where the where.
- 3:49Speaker 5: Do you know what schools is at?
- 3:50Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 3:51Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. So how was it after
- 3:54Speaker 5: the demographic? How did you even pick the school that
- 3:56Speaker 5: you went too far?
- 3:57Speaker 6: I mean really the school I went to just basically
- 3:59Speaker 6: was because of my school. I mean where I lived
- 4:02Speaker 6: at Okay and so the district that I lived at
- 4:04Speaker 6: that was going to go and to Norman North anyway,
- 4:07Speaker 6: So that's kind of how I picked it.
- 4:09Speaker 5: But I mean there's only two here in Norman that
- 4:10Speaker 5: I would have went.
- 4:11Speaker 4: To, Okay because you know, I was just saying to
- 4:13Speaker 4: ask you that, because you know nowadays kids automatically well
- 4:16Speaker 4: once you get like I don't know how if you
- 4:18Speaker 4: was right high or whatever, but they want to leave
- 4:21Speaker 4: like they surround the areas. Yeah, bro, I always talk
- 4:23Speaker 4: about like staying where you love basically and kill something
- 4:26Speaker 4: in your hometown.
- 4:27Speaker 6: So well that was the thing, like my senior year.
- 4:29Speaker 6: So after my junior year, even all the way.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Through it, it was the thought that I was going
- 4:34Speaker 1: to go to Marlborough and play for coach Boyle down there.
- 4:39Speaker 6: So I was going to go down there and play
- 4:40Speaker 6: for him. My mom went down there and lived at
- 4:43Speaker 6: the campus and everything. But after my junior year, I
- 4:47Speaker 6: went and one peach jam that summer, and I ended
- 4:50Speaker 6: up feeling like I didn't need to leave to go
- 4:52Speaker 6: be a mid Donald's All American and there it is
- 4:55Speaker 6: be able to have.
- 4:56Speaker 2: I mean, all.
- 4:57Speaker 6: The schools really want me because I had all the
- 4:59Speaker 6: office at that point, So I didn't really feel like
- 5:01Speaker 6: I needed to leave to go get everything that I wanted,
- 5:03Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. And I knew if I
- 5:05Speaker 6: stayed here and it worked out the way it did, UH,
- 5:07Speaker 6: that I would have a lot more love staying home.
- 5:09Speaker 6: So I mean, I think I made the right decision
- 5:12Speaker 6: for sure.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Man list, you're talking about that PGM. That Squitty was crazy?
- 5:16Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sure that was. That was That was an
- 5:19Speaker 2: unbelievable time.
- 5:20Speaker 5: Now did y'all rig that? Or was that it was
- 5:22Speaker 5: that organically?
- 5:24Speaker 6: No?
- 5:24Speaker 2: That was that's that ship was organic. Again.
- 5:27Speaker 6: We took We took a lot of l's our sixteen
- 5:29Speaker 6: U when me and Mike were sixteen, we played up
- 5:32Speaker 6: and played seventeen and UH was getting our heads beat
- 5:35Speaker 6: in a lot. We played UH. We played a few games.
- 5:37Speaker 6: I mean, we played Houston Hoois with Fox. We played
- 5:40Speaker 6: Saint Louis Eagles with Jason Tatum when we were sixteen.
- 5:42Speaker 6: I think we lost that game, but we was always
- 5:44Speaker 6: competing and uh we uh even Georgia Stars.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Won it that year with Wendelle Carter and you Dook
- 5:51Speaker 2: as a bookie.
- 5:51Speaker 6: They were really good, and uh, within our seventeen years
- 5:55Speaker 6: just felt so so easy. But we were all the
- 5:57Speaker 6: same age, and uh, some guys were playing up at that.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Point, and so we just felt like we could win
- 6:02Speaker 2: no matter who we play. Okay, I wanted to talk
- 6:05Speaker 2: about high school. Who's here?
- 6:07Speaker 3: So when I first tapped in here, when we first
- 6:09Speaker 3: got here, you know, I talked jump to everybody.
- 6:11Speaker 2: I talked to you a little bro.
- 6:12Speaker 3: I talked to everybody, and they told me your junior year, bo,
- 6:17Speaker 3: y'all made it all the way to States, and y'all
- 6:18Speaker 3: made it all the way to state finals. Y'all had
- 6:20Speaker 3: a squad, and y'all lost on the last second shot, Like,
- 6:23Speaker 3: can you go through that game?
- 6:25Speaker 2: Tell me what happened?
- 6:25Speaker 3: Because they told me you was averaging like around twenty
- 6:27Speaker 3: three twenty five.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Yeah, Well that actually I was asaging like thirty.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, man, I don't know which one short
- 6:35Speaker 3: short Yeah, No, that was my That was my sophomore year.
- 6:38Speaker 2: That was my sophomore year.
- 6:39Speaker 6: I was asking like twenty I went from ten points
- 6:41Speaker 6: to twenty five to like thirty five to forty two.
- 6:45Speaker 6: So bro, yeah, but that was no Bro. That like
- 6:47Speaker 6: my junior year, that shit hurt. I ain't gonna lie
- 6:49Speaker 6: like that was my probably my best chance to win State.
- 6:52Speaker 2: We had a We had a I mean, Lindy Waters,
- 6:55Speaker 2: you may know who's in the way.
- 6:57Speaker 6: He's a shooter and the league found his way into
- 6:59Speaker 6: the league, but went to Oklahoma State was really good.
- 7:03Speaker 6: Had I had gotten suspended that year and missed most
- 7:05Speaker 6: of the year and came back during the playoffs, and uh,
- 7:09Speaker 6: we were winning all year and we got the playoffs
- 7:11Speaker 6: and literally was beating everybody pretty bad. And the last game,
- 7:14Speaker 6: I mean, we should have won, to be honest with you,
- 7:17Speaker 6: and uh, it's just crazy how it happened. Like a
- 7:20Speaker 6: kid back door got back door on my team for
- 7:23Speaker 6: the last second and k had made a layup and
- 7:27Speaker 6: I swear it was like, you can't you can't go back.
- 7:30Speaker 5: He says, you lost to a bunch of football.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I trust me, Bro. We played them ten times,
- 7:38Speaker 2: we winning nine, you know one of them. You know
- 7:41Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
- 7:41Speaker 6: The team that if the championship game was the semi finals,
- 7:45Speaker 6: like everybody thought us versus team called Mustang who had
- 7:48Speaker 6: won state the year before, it was just for them
- 7:51Speaker 6: and some reason, we beat them by thirty and uh
- 7:54Speaker 6: we were so I mean, we thought we had won it,
- 7:55Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. And the next day, like
- 7:57Speaker 6: them games is back to back to back, so you
- 7:59Speaker 6: played the next day. I mean, if you're not ready
- 8:01Speaker 6: and locked in, you can lose and that that be
- 8:04Speaker 6: your season and that's how your your junior or can finish.
- 8:06Speaker 6: So it sucked, but it's that's that's something that those
- 8:10Speaker 6: That's what such about the most is those guys hold on.
- 8:13Speaker 2: To it like it's aba finals, like no matter what
- 8:18Speaker 2: you do. I was asking you that because obviously.
- 8:21Speaker 3: You live here, from here, you around. You just went
- 8:25Speaker 3: to a high school game. I grew up in my hometown.
- 8:28Speaker 2: I will live there. I coached there.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Like all my friends talk about the moments when we
- 8:33Speaker 3: play north Central or Northwest and I'm like, danmg, you
- 8:37Speaker 3: lost the state finals to somebody who played football. Probably
- 8:40Speaker 3: when you walk in he probably like yeah, But when
- 8:43Speaker 3: I backdoor.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I beat him in the state. Yeah I got here,
- 8:47Speaker 2: you know for no reason telling.
- 8:50Speaker 6: I ain't gonna say dude name because I don't you
- 8:53Speaker 6: know what I'm saying them too much.
- 8:55Speaker 2: But yeah, we was playing.
- 8:56Speaker 6: I had some runs, like I had runs in my
- 8:59Speaker 6: gym and here during the finals, and uh, one of
- 9:02Speaker 6: the one of the guys that's in here. I mean
- 9:04Speaker 6: I'm only calling certain guys to come up here. You
- 9:06Speaker 6: got to be able to hoop, so he could hoop.
- 9:08Speaker 6: And uh we played him my second to last game
- 9:11Speaker 6: my senior year, and uh, he had a pretty good game.
- 9:14Speaker 6: I mean his team was way better than mine. I
- 9:16Speaker 6: mean I killed them and I played. They ended up
- 9:19Speaker 6: winning the game, and uh, we ended up playing in here.
- 9:23Speaker 6: We started talking and uh he started talking trash one
- 9:25Speaker 6: of my friends, right, and I don't like that. So
- 9:29Speaker 6: we was we were playing five and he I ended
- 9:32Speaker 6: up having to start talking a little bit and we
- 9:34Speaker 6: started getting into and he brought up how he had
- 9:38Speaker 6: thirty five and beat us in the game. I said,
- 9:42Speaker 6: I looked at them. Then let's said which year. I
- 9:44Speaker 6: said that year on one game away playing the year
- 9:46Speaker 6: or that one, Like you know what I'm saying and
- 9:50Speaker 6: I didn't know which.
- 9:53Speaker 2: That is.
- 9:54Speaker 6: You know, Like that's the same feeling, Like you know
- 9:57Speaker 6: what I'm saying, Like it's you're playing against the guys
- 9:59Speaker 6: you grew up against.
- 10:00Speaker 5: If they win, yes, they on it. You know what
- 10:03Speaker 5: I'm saying.
- 10:03Speaker 6: Album it's super You'll never live it down no matter
- 10:05Speaker 6: which I do. So they gonna they're gonna hold on
- 10:08Speaker 6: that forever.
- 10:08Speaker 5: Now.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Listen, you talk about going from twenty five to thirty
- 10:11Speaker 1: to forty.
- 10:12Speaker 2: When did you know you was nice?
- 10:15Speaker 5: Now?
- 10:16Speaker 2: I don't even think like that, you know what I'm saying.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I don't you know what I'm.
- 10:18Speaker 6: Saying, Like I I really I don't really think like that.
- 10:21Speaker 6: Like even when I'm getting games like uh, I'll get
- 10:26Speaker 6: like thirty five and fifteen and stuff, and I'm like
- 10:29Speaker 6: I'll be in the moment in the game, I don't
- 10:31Speaker 6: feel it, but like after the game, I'll be like damn,
- 10:34Speaker 6: Like like sometimes I pinch myself still, Like you don't
- 10:37Speaker 6: some stuff I do in the games that haven't been
- 10:39Speaker 6: done before. It's like it's pinched me moments like I don't.
- 10:43Speaker 6: I don't like get too excited or expected or.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Like Trey, you know Troy Well, I love that humble shit.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Now No, look maw fuck that. No, well you stepped
- 10:59Speaker 4: in the garden. No, that's okay, for sure, I was.
- 11:08Speaker 4: I thought you was talk about high school. I know
- 11:09Speaker 4: nothing about No, we just watched it on TV.
- 11:12Speaker 6: That's yeah, I was teammates. No, that's I mean, he
- 11:20Speaker 6: definitely gotta. I mean, I have fun with this ship.
- 11:22Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like you don't have fun
- 11:24Speaker 6: with it, it's not no point in playing it. And
- 11:26Speaker 6: I feel like that's that's when I play my best
- 11:28Speaker 6: and when I'm having fun. And I mean as much
- 11:31Speaker 6: as you see me talking trash, it's just because I'm.
- 11:33Speaker 2: The one ending it.
- 11:34Speaker 6: Like I really, I really would love to just hoop
- 11:36Speaker 6: like and just have fun and engage with the crowd.
- 11:38Speaker 6: And you know what I'm saying, I have fun and win.
- 11:41Speaker 6: But like you see me engaged with players, it's because
- 11:44Speaker 6: they usually are saying something or they'll say something slick
- 11:47Speaker 6: to the rest that I hear, and I'm like, you
- 11:49Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. You don't get me going, But
- 11:51Speaker 6: you know, you gotta be competitive. You can't make it
- 11:53Speaker 6: to this level and not be competitive.
- 11:55Speaker 3: No, I know we're gonna go to college but forty
- 11:58Speaker 3: two points a game, Like, or I thought I was
- 12:03Speaker 3: killing bro my senior year at high school average it
- 12:05Speaker 3: was about twenty five. I was on a really good team.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Forty two Bro, who was on your team?
- 12:12Speaker 5: Well, what would you saying to them?
- 12:14Speaker 2: I mean, set this screen, we got to.
- 12:17Speaker 5: Break down the place. Was it old Troy?
- 12:20Speaker 2: No? I mean it wasn't. It was a little bit
- 12:22Speaker 2: of both.
- 12:22Speaker 6: Like I was, I'm playing transition, like I played fast,
- 12:25Speaker 6: so if I get the rebound shit.
- 12:28Speaker 2: I mean I looked at it like this, like I'm
- 12:30Speaker 2: a senior.
- 12:30Speaker 6: I'm playing against the guys that are some freshman, junior
- 12:33Speaker 6: or sophomores. Like there's no reason they should be on
- 12:36Speaker 6: the court with me, you know what I'm saying. So
- 12:37Speaker 6: anytime when I was a senior, it was like, I mean,
- 12:40Speaker 6: I know I'm going against but I know they're not
- 12:42Speaker 6: at my level and they could be younger than me.
- 12:44Speaker 6: So it's like this is the time for me to
- 12:46Speaker 6: like go ahead and just do what I do in
- 12:49Speaker 6: this show, Like I'll get rebounds up, go coast to coast,
- 12:51Speaker 6: get layups, Like I'm not worried about a big block
- 12:53Speaker 6: in my shot. There may be bigs, but I'm smart
- 12:56Speaker 6: enough to know to get into his body and use
- 12:57Speaker 6: the glass.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Like even at my senior year, like.
- 12:59Speaker 6: I was a good touch around the basket, so it
- 13:02Speaker 6: was never like never hard for me. I didn't average
- 13:05Speaker 6: ten assists. I probably averaged five or six assists, but
- 13:08Speaker 6: I mean I was still I had the ball in
- 13:10Speaker 6: my hand a lot too, and that helps.
- 13:12Speaker 2: But yeah, I was able.
- 13:13Speaker 6: I just I just thought differently whenever it came to
- 13:15Speaker 6: these type of things.
- 13:17Speaker 3: It was just so easy for you though, Like they
- 13:20Speaker 3: got a shot clock, like because in Indiana they would
- 13:24Speaker 3: have held the ball.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Yeah, it would never got No. Forty two.
- 13:27Speaker 5: But that's what I'm saying.
- 13:27Speaker 6: We was winning, so like we would be winning games
- 13:30Speaker 6: like we would be winning and you can't really hold it,
- 13:33Speaker 6: I mean unless you just when you down.
- 13:37Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
- 13:38Speaker 6: I haven't seen it, yeah, I mean I didn't see
- 13:40Speaker 6: it too, Just scared they can't outscore you.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Don't just hold the ball andork. Yeah, we need shot
- 13:47Speaker 1: clocks in all hospital basketball. In fact, yeah, for sure
- 13:50Speaker 1: that players better.
- 13:51Speaker 2: I was, you know, you want to talking home? Was
- 13:53Speaker 2: there any chance that any other school could have got
- 13:55Speaker 2: you up out of here? For sure? For sure, for sure.
- 13:58Speaker 6: I mean I almost went to Kansas muh if DeVante
- 14:02Speaker 6: would have left. So the year I went to my
- 14:06Speaker 6: freshman year, I was going in DeVante Graham was a
- 14:08Speaker 6: senior at but even my my visits my like my
- 14:12Speaker 6: junior and senior year, Cosell was telling me that Devanta
- 14:17Speaker 6: and Frank Mason was a senior, so he was leaving.
- 14:20Speaker 6: Davante was going to leave with him. And uh, that's
- 14:22Speaker 6: why I waited so long to like commit, because I
- 14:25Speaker 6: really wanted to see if DeVante was gonna was going
- 14:27Speaker 6: to leave, And because if you would have left, I
- 14:30Speaker 6: probably I probably would have went to Kansas, hm, just
- 14:34Speaker 6: because I wanted to be in the blue blood kind
- 14:36Speaker 6: of like going to mont verd And you know what
- 14:38Speaker 6: I'm saying, Like at a high school, I felt like
- 14:40Speaker 6: if I would have went to Kansas or Kentucky, I
- 14:45Speaker 6: mean I just I didn't. I wasn't ready to commit
- 14:46Speaker 6: whenever Kwaide was ready to commit to go to Kentucky.
- 14:48Speaker 2: So that's the reason why I didn't go there.
- 14:51Speaker 6: And so yeah, I mean Kentucky Kansas, but I stayed home.
- 14:56Speaker 6: I mean I thought about it hard, but I I
- 15:00Speaker 6: think I made the best decision for sure, Like.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Just think of playing Devils Advocate. Let's say you went
- 15:06Speaker 3: to Kentucky or Kansas. You think you would have had
- 15:08Speaker 3: the same success that you had as a freshman.
- 15:13Speaker 2: I would have.
- 15:13Speaker 6: I feel like I would have been looked at the same.
- 15:16Speaker 6: But my numbers, man, I have looked the same. You
- 15:19Speaker 6: know what I'm saying.
- 15:20Speaker 5: I think you could have did that at Kansas.
- 15:22Speaker 2: I mean maybe maybe.
- 15:23Speaker 6: I mean why, I mean, it's just it'd been me
- 15:27Speaker 6: Davante had the Gerald Vick's fee.
- 15:32Speaker 2: And then you Donkee as a bookie he was still there.
- 15:38Speaker 2: He would have killed. He would have number shooters f
- 15:41Speaker 2: on the preimiter too.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Yeah. I ain't gonna lie though, I think it was
- 15:44Speaker 3: perfect for you go Oklahoma. It don't it didn't Like
- 15:47Speaker 3: it just makes sense what you did in college for
- 15:50Speaker 3: the journey. For sure, your college for your freshman year
- 15:54Speaker 3: is one of the top freshman years of all time.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Like Kevin Durant, mellow, we don't low number one because
- 16:00Speaker 3: he won a chip, but like you kd bs yeah
- 16:04Speaker 3: a d y'all all right there, Like it's unbelievable.
- 16:09Speaker 2: And I think the thing is, I mean, it's a
- 16:11Speaker 2: difference between me and they just won. You know what
- 16:13Speaker 2: I'm saying. They won. You know, a D won a championship.
- 16:16Speaker 2: I think, uh, you you and Bees? They was okay, yeah,
- 16:20Speaker 2: I think yeah. I don't know who.
- 16:24Speaker 6: I think National Freshman Players of the Year. I can't
- 16:27Speaker 6: remember at the time. I think to have done it
- 16:30Speaker 6: before me was k D. And uh who was the
- 16:33Speaker 6: other guy?
- 16:35Speaker 5: They just got a fresh.
- 16:37Speaker 2: National player here? Because KD is my class, I don't
- 16:43Speaker 2: know who was National Player of the year.
- 16:45Speaker 6: I'm telling you it's only been there was only two.
- 16:48Speaker 6: Maybe I would have been the second one behind k
- 16:51Speaker 6: D to win, should have won it, but Beasley should
- 16:56Speaker 6: have won.
- 16:56Speaker 2: It was number six.
- 17:00Speaker 5: This od Did you have that? Of course you had
- 17:03Speaker 5: the green light, But did you think it was gonna
- 17:05Speaker 5: be like that when you got to Oklahoma?
- 17:07Speaker 2: Nah?
- 17:08Speaker 6: I mean I knew I would have the ball in
- 17:10Speaker 6: my hands. I knew I'd have like a certain green
- 17:13Speaker 6: light for sure. Being here in Norman and Coach Krueger,
- 17:15Speaker 6: like our relationship we had. But I mean you obviously
- 17:18Speaker 6: have to like you have to you have to gain
- 17:20Speaker 6: that trust and gain that respect. So like the way
- 17:22Speaker 6: I play, I mean in practice and even in the
- 17:26Speaker 6: games at the beginning of the year, Like I mean
- 17:29Speaker 6: helped me kind of like establish how the rest.
- 17:30Speaker 5: Of the season was going to go to because I
- 17:33Speaker 5: was when you.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Got crazy moments of college. I asked, what's a crazy game?
- 17:37Speaker 1: You versed Oklahomba s A or you worsed CCU because
- 17:42Speaker 1: it was two high life actorly Troy Young games.
- 17:44Speaker 6: No, for sure, I mean I like I probably liked
- 17:48Speaker 6: playing uh TCU better.
- 17:51Speaker 2: I think I got the.
- 17:53Speaker 6: You see like even stuff like this, Like I mean
- 17:55Speaker 6: playing tc I think I scored eighty two points against
- 17:58Speaker 6: them in two games.
- 18:00Speaker 5: Disrespectful solidifies your draft.
- 18:04Speaker 2: I think that somebody to score on. Yeah, he was
- 18:17Speaker 2: the best player that team though. He was. They had
- 18:19Speaker 2: him and Jamie Fisher.
- 18:20Speaker 5: Yep.
- 18:21Speaker 2: I don't know if you'll know Jamis Fisher. I just
- 18:24Speaker 2: my fault brother. That was a crazy stress.
- 18:29Speaker 4: That's only your easiest match up And who was the
- 18:31Speaker 4: toughest match up? You remember you have a duel with somebody.
- 18:35Speaker 6: I remember going to Wishita State. That was a tough
- 18:38Speaker 6: game they played. They had Landry Shammitt, Landry Shammitt. They
- 18:42Speaker 6: had Austin Reeves came off the bench who ended up
- 18:45Speaker 6: coming to you like the next year.
- 18:48Speaker 2: So they had they had a couple of guys.
- 18:50Speaker 6: They were number three in the country at the time,
- 18:51Speaker 6: and so we went to their place in one and
- 18:54Speaker 6: that was That was the craziest game, probably, and that
- 18:57Speaker 6: was tough game, probably.
- 18:59Speaker 1: So what's that moment in college when you realize, all right,
- 19:01Speaker 1: the league really won't me, Like, I know, I got interest,
- 19:03Speaker 1: but they like, now I'm damned there lottery. What's that
- 19:06Speaker 1: moment like when you like, damn, I could really go
- 19:08Speaker 1: to the NBA, like right now.
- 19:10Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard not to think about it, you
- 19:13Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
- 19:13Speaker 6: It's hard not to think about the future and your
- 19:15Speaker 6: dreams about to be becoming true because you still got
- 19:17Speaker 6: a season. You still got the rest of the Big
- 19:19Speaker 6: Twelve and the NCAA tournament, a long tournament run and
- 19:21Speaker 6: hopefully play. So it was tough, but it was like
- 19:25Speaker 6: it was it was kind of hard to like not
- 19:27Speaker 6: not look at it and not deal with I mean,
- 19:29Speaker 6: they were talking about it all the time on ESPN.
- 19:31Speaker 6: You a block first take with it, Yeah, it was.
- 19:33Speaker 6: It was crazy, but then you got no. I mean,
- 19:36Speaker 6: it's it was hard, but like, I mean, I feel
- 19:40Speaker 6: like I handled it the way the best way I could.
- 19:42Speaker 2: And I mean it was, it was, it was, It
- 19:45Speaker 2: was good.
- 19:46Speaker 5: It was good.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Before y'all see what was your first time, like like
- 19:48Speaker 2: really tapping in with Tray. I've seen him.
- 19:50Speaker 3: I seen him in high school obviously because I was
- 19:52Speaker 3: I'm my au here, we all here, So I know
- 19:55Speaker 3: him in high school and I know him at Michael
- 19:57Speaker 3: Porter Junior. I thought Michael Porter Junior was the best
- 19:59Speaker 3: player in that class at that time.
- 20:01Speaker 2: He was crazy.
- 20:02Speaker 3: And then seeing him with Brandon Roy and all that,
- 20:05Speaker 3: so I kind of kept tabs on end. Jamal was,
- 20:07Speaker 3: you know, Jamal one of my old heads, so he
- 20:08Speaker 3: used to tell me about him. But when I see
- 20:11Speaker 3: him at Oklahoma, I'm like, man, hold on, man, how's.
- 20:16Speaker 2: This dude doing this? I'm like, you know, in my head,
- 20:19Speaker 2: I'm being a competitor.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Now I'm like, why they don't do this way on
- 20:21Speaker 3: trapping and now watching they trying to trap him and
- 20:24Speaker 3: he running by everybody.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Then he shoot from half court and.
- 20:27Speaker 3: I remember I don't know what game it was, but
- 20:29Speaker 3: you like stumbled and then you still shot the ball.
- 20:32Speaker 3: And I said, hold on, he playing differently like what
- 20:36Speaker 3: he won't and he making them and I was like,
- 20:38Speaker 3: he gonna be different. And then when he got drafted
- 20:41Speaker 3: by the Hawks, obviously I was I'm a Hawks, that's me.
- 20:44Speaker 3: I'm like, damn, they got him. I gotta see what's up.
- 20:49Speaker 3: And then you got did the summer league and I'm like, yeah,
- 20:52Speaker 3: it's a little different in the league. And then he
- 20:54Speaker 3: got in his rookie year, I was like, nah, he
- 20:56Speaker 3: was just practicing a little different.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Like I was like, he's different. I was like, he's
- 21:02Speaker 2: just different. I appreciate it. Yeah, that was that was crazy.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Come about me, me and Jeff. Oh yeah he was not.
- 21:14Speaker 3: So when I came to the team, like obviously, now
- 21:16Speaker 3: he's he's a star. Like to me, like after his
- 21:19Speaker 3: rookie year, he was great, great rookie year. Second year,
- 21:22Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, he is a star. I get traded like
- 21:25Speaker 3: in the middle of the year. I think that was
- 21:26Speaker 3: the second year.
- 21:28Speaker 2: But I'm like, you know you got that jersey. Still
- 21:35Speaker 2: real jersey. I've been asking for a minute. I know.
- 21:41Speaker 5: The way bro.
- 21:42Speaker 3: So when I got to the team, I watched him
- 21:44Speaker 3: play and I'm like, it's to me, the first thing
- 21:46Speaker 3: that stuck out. I know he was a really good pastor,
- 21:48Speaker 3: but his floater. I'm like, he never missed floaters. Like
- 21:52Speaker 3: everybody talk about Hi shooting from half court. I'm watching
- 21:55Speaker 3: it as a fantom like this dude just never miss floaters.
- 21:58Speaker 3: So I'm like, damn, I can learn something from this dude.
- 22:00Speaker 3: So I'm looking at how you shoot him. He's shooting
- 22:02Speaker 3: him from half I'm like, okay, I'm about to start
- 22:05Speaker 3: doing that.
- 22:05Speaker 2: But I didn't know only had a nineteen minute.
- 22:09Speaker 3: I didn't know only had nineteen minutes I could do
- 22:11Speaker 3: all this, So I hed, I'm like, I'm about to
- 22:14Speaker 3: do all this at nineteen minutes, and that same light
- 22:18Speaker 3: can't It's like, bring.
- 22:18Speaker 2: It over here.
- 22:21Speaker 3: But now he was so dynamic in the pick and
- 22:23Speaker 3: roll and his ability to score. Obviously he can shoot
- 22:26Speaker 3: the ball from crazy distance. And I was like, nah,
- 22:29Speaker 3: Atlanta got one, Like it's over. They found a superstar
- 22:32Speaker 3: since Dominique. You know what I mean, I'm not here, man,
- 22:36Speaker 3: I've been right.
- 22:37Speaker 5: I guess.
- 22:39Speaker 4: He was comfortable right away, though, averaging du me, you
- 22:43Speaker 4: for sure was you comfortable right away? Or it took
- 22:45Speaker 4: you a minute to get adjusted?
- 22:48Speaker 6: I mean I like to say it took me a
- 22:49Speaker 6: minute to get adjusted. Stops are saying.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Cool.
- 23:00Speaker 4: It was because I feel like, Bro, while I'm saying
- 23:02Speaker 4: that to you, is I feel like I know I'm
- 23:04Speaker 4: jumping the head, but I feel like they'd be disrespecting you.
- 23:06Speaker 2: And they, yeah, Bro, they do, you know what I mean.
- 23:09Speaker 6: But I mean, for sure, the only reason why I
- 23:11Speaker 6: say that is because you if you sit back and
- 23:12Speaker 6: look at it, Irish, what you ever showing Irish nineteen?
- 23:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I looked at it today to make sure I was.
- 23:20Speaker 6: I was twenty and something other, twenty and eight something
- 23:23Speaker 6: like that, and the next year I was twenty nine
- 23:25Speaker 6: and nine.
- 23:26Speaker 2: It was easy, you know what I'm saying.
- 23:28Speaker 6: But like in my mind, I'm like, I should have
- 23:30Speaker 6: been doing this shit my rookie year, you know what
- 23:31Speaker 6: I'm saying, Like.
- 23:32Speaker 2: He was just trying to gaggle mate. You came to
- 23:34Speaker 2: a team with people on there.
- 23:36Speaker 6: For sure, for sure. But that's what I'm saying that
- 23:38Speaker 6: I feel like that was the adjustment period. Like I
- 23:39Speaker 6: felt like even though I did put up really good
- 23:42Speaker 6: numbers as a rookie, like I was and I played good,
- 23:44Speaker 6: I played played well in spirits like, I feel like
- 23:47Speaker 6: I could have obviously done better. Like I mean, in
- 23:50Speaker 6: my second year, I feel like I showed it, like
- 23:52Speaker 6: what I could have done more?
- 23:53Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 23:55Speaker 6: I mean, I haven't averaged twenty nine since, but like
- 23:58Speaker 6: it's like, I really, you know what I'm saying.
- 24:01Speaker 2: I feel like if I if I wanted to, like.
- 24:03Speaker 6: I could, you know what I'm saying, that's just not
- 24:06Speaker 6: like I just and then that third year we started
- 24:09Speaker 6: getting I mean, Gallo and Bogie and all those guys,
- 24:12Speaker 6: and then we started getting some of my My scoring
- 24:14Speaker 6: went down, but I mean, I feel like it took
- 24:16Speaker 6: me a second to get justin.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Listen, we gonna go back to the brash stuff I
- 24:20Speaker 1: won't talk about the first time and came in the
- 24:23Speaker 1: locker room.
- 24:23Speaker 6: What was that like meet him for the first time,
- 24:24Speaker 6: especially as a teammate. Oh man, it was it was
- 24:27Speaker 6: It was It was fun. It was dope because a
- 24:29Speaker 6: lot of people and a lot of people already knew
- 24:31Speaker 6: about Jeff, like Zach and you know what I'm saying,
- 24:34Speaker 6: A lot of people in the Hawks organization areay knew
- 24:36Speaker 6: about Jeff. So I mean, and I did too. The
- 24:38Speaker 6: Hawks weren't, y'all, weren't even when you were winning sixty games.
- 24:41Speaker 6: I went on TV a lot but like when you
- 24:42Speaker 6: knew the Hawks, even though you are k Kyle korver,
- 24:47Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Like the four four or
- 24:49Speaker 6: five main guys, So I mean you knew Jeff, So
- 24:52Speaker 6: I was. I was eager to learn, eager to like
- 24:54Speaker 6: pick his brain. I didn't know he would be this
- 24:55Speaker 6: funny and this like chill, laid back, you know what
- 24:58Speaker 6: I'm saying. And but I think even the way he
- 25:02Speaker 6: was like just I mean interacting, it didn't have to
- 25:06Speaker 6: be serious all the time. I mean to learn something
- 25:08Speaker 6: from somebody, So I mean, even though he wasn't playing
- 25:11Speaker 6: as much, like even if he didn't mean to give
- 25:16Speaker 6: somebody advice or give me advice, Like it was like
- 25:19Speaker 6: every now and then we'd be sitting on the plane,
- 25:21Speaker 6: he sat in front of me, So I mean I
- 25:23Speaker 6: was able to t pick his brain every now and
- 25:25Speaker 6: then talk to him.
- 25:26Speaker 2: So cool as cool ast vet for sure.
- 25:29Speaker 5: Man.
- 25:29Speaker 3: They was so young, like he had to be twenty
- 25:33Speaker 3: one at most, twenty twenty.
- 25:35Speaker 2: One for sure, twenty one and most yeah, and I
- 25:38Speaker 2: was like thirty one, maybe thirty two. Oh gee.
- 25:41Speaker 3: And I'm like I came in the locker room and
- 25:44Speaker 3: obviously Travis was like We're going to sign you to
- 25:47Speaker 3: an extension.
- 25:47Speaker 2: We want you to be the VET.
- 25:49Speaker 3: I'm like, hell no, I'm like I had made the
- 25:53Speaker 3: playoffs my whole career, so that was the first time
- 25:56Speaker 3: I'm going to a team I never made the playoffs.
- 25:58Speaker 3: I'm like, nah, I won't play the playoffs. But then
- 26:01Speaker 3: I got in the locker room, I'm like, they cool.
- 26:03Speaker 3: Then e T just happen to be there. Shots at
- 26:06Speaker 3: et Et ruled my second Hawks. He talked to me
- 26:12Speaker 3: every day about, hey, you ain't gonna like this. He
- 26:14Speaker 3: wouldn't even let me like something. I'm like, they cool, bro,
- 26:17Speaker 3: Like they ain't gonna like that.
- 26:19Speaker 2: You ain't gonna like that.
- 26:20Speaker 3: You know. I'm like, man, I'm a Hawk guy. He like, no,
- 26:22Speaker 3: I ain't gonna be all go after this. It shots
- 26:25Speaker 3: about dog Et, but nah. When I first met him,
- 26:29Speaker 3: I knew I'm like, damn, if I can figure out
- 26:32Speaker 3: how to be cool with him, he the franchise, right,
- 26:35Speaker 3: So you gotta understand I'm gonna be cool with him,
- 26:37Speaker 3: and I'm gonna make sure that I let him know
- 26:39Speaker 3: I'm in his corner. I don't want him think I'm
- 26:41Speaker 3: coming back and think like I'm somebody like, nah, my
- 26:44Speaker 3: time has been had. I'm coming here to support you.
- 26:47Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to be your backup. I'm gonna try
- 26:48Speaker 3: to do what we can do unless win. So that
- 26:52Speaker 3: was my biggest thing when I met him. I just
- 26:53Speaker 3: wanted to let him know I wouldn't like, I'm not hating.
- 26:56Speaker 3: I don't got to hate bone in my body. If
- 26:58Speaker 3: you roll, I'm gonna say, no, you cold. You know,
- 27:00Speaker 3: I'm gonna be like you cool, you cool, But if
- 27:04Speaker 3: you cold, you cold, I'm gonna say I was like,
- 27:06Speaker 3: he cold, and I ain't have a hating bone in
- 27:08Speaker 3: my body. We just didn't have enough time because COVID happened. Yeah,
- 27:12Speaker 3: we was on the team when COVID happened, and we
- 27:15Speaker 3: was on the team when Ben Carter got his last
- 27:17Speaker 3: last game.
- 27:18Speaker 6: Baby, that's crazy, Yeah that was that's that's crazy. That
- 27:22Speaker 6: was your last game with us.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Yep.
- 27:27Speaker 3: No, I was supposed to come back, so I was
- 27:30Speaker 3: gonna sign back. And then I was like I love LP.
- 27:34Speaker 3: I mean he cool, mean LP cool. So I was like,
- 27:39Speaker 3: I can't do that, like because he just it wasn't him,
- 27:42Speaker 3: It came from upper management.
- 27:43Speaker 2: I'm like, like Trey.
- 27:45Speaker 3: I could play with Trey because I seen him play
- 27:46Speaker 3: with guards. I can play with him. It's like, now
- 27:49Speaker 3: we don't want that.
- 27:50Speaker 5: N't want to play.
- 27:52Speaker 2: They was we want to play cam, we want to play.
- 27:54Speaker 3: We want to play, uh Kevin, And I'm like I
- 27:58Speaker 3: can play with him sometimes, like if I'm having a
- 28:00Speaker 3: moment and he was like no, I was like, I'm
- 28:03Speaker 3: gonna try something different then like yah, ain't gonna even
- 28:05Speaker 3: give me a chance.
- 28:06Speaker 6: People don't understand that about the league though. It's just like,
- 28:09Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying with certain people above the players.
- 28:11Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. They want to go to
- 28:12Speaker 2: a certain direction and young guys.
- 28:15Speaker 3: And then I think Rondo might have came, so do
- 28:18Speaker 3: had came and I was like I went to the
- 28:20Speaker 3: Celtics or whatever.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Is having the same type of feelings. It's just part
- 28:26Speaker 2: of it.
- 28:26Speaker 5: Bro.
- 28:27Speaker 2: I appreciate you though, nah Man, you you one of them.
- 28:30Speaker 3: That's why every time we get on the show, we
- 28:32Speaker 3: always talk about who don't get the most respect, who
- 28:35Speaker 3: should be an all startist and not every time Young
- 28:38Speaker 3: better than him, Trede young better than him?
- 28:40Speaker 5: And it's the truth. Why do you think that is?
- 28:42Speaker 2: Though? Bro?
- 28:44Speaker 3: Uh?
- 28:45Speaker 5: You can talking.
- 28:47Speaker 6: I think maybe that's why you know what I'm saying,
- 28:49Speaker 6: Like I'm always just because your numbers is crazy, bro.
- 28:53Speaker 3: Every year, every year it's an all star number.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Bro.
- 28:58Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I just think that's why I was like,
- 28:59Speaker 6: I'm not, I'm not super loud when it comes to
- 29:02Speaker 6: I mean, you may think I'm loud in certain highlights
- 29:04Speaker 6: and the way I talk sometimes, but like when it
- 29:06Speaker 6: comes to like boosting myself or something like like.
- 29:10Speaker 2: That, like I'm not, I'm not.
- 29:12Speaker 6: I'd rather let my game do the talking and let
- 29:14Speaker 6: everybody else speak for me. So no matter if I'm
- 29:17Speaker 6: gotten the credit that I I mean or not, like
- 29:20Speaker 6: I'm just gonna I would rather just live that way
- 29:22Speaker 6: and and hopefully I mean, it's gonna gonna turn, it's
- 29:26Speaker 6: gonna flip. So that's that's my my whole reason why
- 29:29Speaker 6: just I stay the way I am.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Yeah, because they trying to use every excuse.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Le's try to say small market, No, that doesn't matter
- 29:34Speaker 1: anymore because everybody is on TV.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Then they talk about the numbers.
- 29:37Speaker 1: There's no way you can talk about the numbers like
- 29:40Speaker 1: we always were like numbers next to each other when
- 29:42Speaker 1: we put them side by sides up.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Ship gets spooked even the smaller and not do it
- 29:46Speaker 2: all the time.

- 30:58Speaker 4: I wanted to ask, like, where is where is this
- 31:00Speaker 4: tension with you in the Knicks man comes from?
- 31:04Speaker 2: Why talk about it?
- 31:06Speaker 4: No?
- 31:07Speaker 6: It ain't even I mean, I guess it started from
- 31:09Speaker 6: the playoff series. And yeah, I mean first quarter with
- 31:14Speaker 6: ten minutes and to go, like the whole crowd to
- 31:17Speaker 6: start chatting like, f you you know what I'm saying, Like.
- 31:20Speaker 2: What's that like? Man? Tell us about that the wrestling events?
- 31:26Speaker 2: What is that like? What is that like? Being the
- 31:28Speaker 2: villain in New York? Hey, you beat them? That makes
- 31:30Speaker 2: it even better. I mean, it's it's cool. I mean,
- 31:32Speaker 2: I don't really.
- 31:35Speaker 6: The thing is, I didn't grow up thinking I was
- 31:36Speaker 6: gonna ever be the villain of it, you know what
- 31:38Speaker 6: I'm saying in New York. But I mean it is
- 31:40Speaker 6: what it is, and yeah, I mean you just embrace it.
- 31:43Speaker 6: I mean, when I walk around the city, I get
- 31:45Speaker 6: a lot of love. So it's not like I feel
- 31:47Speaker 6: scared to go around the city. You know what I'm saying.
- 31:49Speaker 6: I feel like even if I pulled up the dytman.
- 31:52Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. There re some people out
- 31:54Speaker 2: there that show love, you know what I'm saying.
- 31:56Speaker 6: So they say all these things on camera, but they
- 32:00Speaker 6: I mean, person, it's it's a different way, you know
- 32:02Speaker 6: what I'm saying, for the most part, So I don't
- 32:05Speaker 6: really have to too hard feelings towards towards their fans.
- 32:09Speaker 3: It's funny because you like playing to it though, you
- 32:12Speaker 3: you you can do w W e two.
- 32:17Speaker 2: He rolled. Let me get that y.
- 32:30Speaker 3: That's a great side better now if you see the clips.
- 32:38Speaker 6: Yeah, my favorite part is how Jalen came up and
- 32:41Speaker 6: dapped me after like Jayalen like it was it was
- 32:44Speaker 6: a thing when the Johnson was on the team.
- 32:45Speaker 2: We was, he had everybody.
- 32:47Speaker 6: We was all playing dice on the on the on
- 32:49Speaker 6: the table, were making side. That's everything, and it was
- 32:52Speaker 6: like it was it was funny. So we uh, I
- 32:56Speaker 6: mean it was. It was kind of like a thought
- 32:57Speaker 6: in my head. Like so when I did it, I
- 33:00Speaker 6: mean I did. I had thought about it before because
- 33:01Speaker 6: I knew he was going to Vegas if we won,
- 33:03Speaker 6: so yeah, yeah, you know you roll dice when you
- 33:05Speaker 6: go there. I like how Jalen came up because Jalen
- 33:08Speaker 6: was always playing dice with us too, so I liked
- 33:12Speaker 6: how we got to wap up after I did it too.
- 33:14Speaker 1: My Viob, Man, let's go back to it man, draft night.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Obviously you make the decision killing the college just coming
- 33:20Speaker 1: go to the pros. What was your draft process like
- 33:22Speaker 1: and how was that whole situation. Obviously we know it
- 33:24Speaker 1: was a big trade, but how was that for you?
- 33:28Speaker 6: I mean it was, I mean it was surprising, to
- 33:30Speaker 6: be honest with you, like I thought I was going
- 33:32Speaker 6: to Orlando at six, the whole the whole pre draft process.
- 33:38Speaker 6: To be honest with you, I worked out for like
- 33:41Speaker 6: fourteens individually. Yeah, and uh four privilege nah nah yeah
- 33:48Speaker 6: something I mean probably Nah, I got hurt.
- 33:51Speaker 2: So I only worked out for two one and a half.
- 33:53Speaker 3: I guess that's to me so but nah not because
- 33:57Speaker 3: I would have had about eighteen.
- 34:01Speaker 6: But no, So I had like four, and I think
- 34:03Speaker 6: I went to Chicago. I went to New York. Actually
- 34:06Speaker 6: I went to New York. They had the ninth pick.
- 34:08Speaker 6: Fizzdale was there, never thinking about maybe trading up, so
- 34:12Speaker 6: we got the Nicks. I went there in Chicago and
- 34:16Speaker 6: I worked out in Atlanta, but I didn't. They had
- 34:18Speaker 6: the number three pick, and I thought they were going
- 34:19Speaker 6: to go with the big like Marvin Bagley if Luca
- 34:22Speaker 6: went to Phoenix or something like that, and I mean
- 34:27Speaker 6: Luca didn't go to Phoenix, and then uh, they ended
- 34:30Speaker 6: up making the trade. And I found out after the
- 34:32Speaker 6: fourth pick that after Luca got called, my agent tapped
- 34:36Speaker 6: me on my shoulder and said that you're going You're
- 34:38Speaker 6: going there actually, and Luke was going to Dallas at five,
- 34:41Speaker 6: so you're gonna be called at five.
- 34:43Speaker 2: So I was waiting the whole fourth.
- 34:44Speaker 6: Pick, like just looking up there like, oh shit, I'm
- 34:47Speaker 6: about to be called, like I knew it, and I
- 34:49Speaker 6: just it was a crazy feeling. But I was just
- 34:52Speaker 6: thinking about going to Atlanta the whole time, like I
- 34:55Speaker 6: didn't know what what it's going to be, Like, I'm
- 34:57Speaker 6: just I went there for a second.
- 34:59Speaker 2: But I was excited. I knew, I mean, what type
- 35:01Speaker 2: of the.
- 35:01Speaker 6: City like it was, and like the way the way
- 35:05Speaker 6: I'm built, the way I am, Like I knew I
- 35:08Speaker 6: could like really relate with the city and try to
- 35:11Speaker 6: bring something that I mean they've they've they've never done there.
- 35:15Speaker 6: So I'm winning the championship. So yeah, that was that
- 35:18Speaker 6: was something I really wanted to do. So I was
- 35:20Speaker 6: excited about it.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Well definitely, I Mean they always not pitied y'all against
- 35:24Speaker 1: each other, but they always missed that when somebody's name
- 35:27Speaker 1: was brought up.
- 35:27Speaker 2: But then it was dope because you know what I'm saying.
- 35:29Speaker 1: Of course, y'all was successful early on, but you had
- 35:31Speaker 1: the playoff success early like you had it first. What
- 35:34Speaker 1: was that feeling, like, you know what I'm saying, I'm nice.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Now I'm leading the franchise. Now we're getting playoff with
- 35:38Speaker 1: What was that first playoff.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Series like for you? Man, it was it was crazy
- 35:42Speaker 2: feeling like that was that was I mean, I gave
- 35:44Speaker 2: you my.
- 35:44Speaker 6: First signature shoe too, like that series, and I was
- 35:47Speaker 6: playing in prototypes. They didn't even they couldn't even make
- 35:50Speaker 6: enough for me to make playing my own and I
- 35:53Speaker 6: really wanted to play in my first shoot in the
- 35:56Speaker 6: garden in my first playoff series, and so I was
- 35:58Speaker 6: playing in prototypes the first two games, and uh, it
- 36:02Speaker 6: was it was just an unreal feeling, man Like just
- 36:04Speaker 6: that first.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Series was was what was was crazy and that's why
- 36:09Speaker 2: you just want to continue.
- 36:10Speaker 6: That's that's that that itch you get whenever you get
- 36:12Speaker 6: there and you win one, you win the series, and
- 36:14Speaker 6: you win to.
- 36:15Speaker 2: You get to the conference finals, You're like, you got
- 36:18Speaker 2: to get back to this. You know what I'm saying.
- 36:19Speaker 6: It's like you don't have that same type of joy
- 36:22Speaker 6: or excitement at the end of the season unless you
- 36:24Speaker 6: get there further.
- 36:25Speaker 2: So, I mean, that's that's what I'm right now.
- 36:28Speaker 3: You did make to the conference finals. We played that year, Yeah,
- 36:36Speaker 3: they play.
- 36:38Speaker 2: We got, y'all.
- 36:39Speaker 3: I think I had a cool series that came out
- 36:42Speaker 3: of retirement. Yeah, I did that, came out of retirement.
- 36:45Speaker 3: A couple of threes.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Get Trading's time me back. I think you can talk.
- 36:53Speaker 3: It's like that Get three, game six, I hit three.
- 37:02Speaker 2: Yeah, he was mad. I pointed at you? What time?
- 37:07Speaker 2: What time? I pointed at you. I was like this
- 37:11Speaker 2: for you niggas. I definitely got it. But you think
- 37:19Speaker 2: because you tweat your ankle or something that serious?
- 37:21Speaker 5: Right?
- 37:21Speaker 2: Game three? All right, be honest, you think you would

- 37:35Speaker 3: Come on the Hawks, Hawks talk about this? Why y'all
- 37:40Speaker 3: post that ship the trend tea time? You know, you
- 37:48Speaker 3: were in the jersey draw and so somebody posted a
- 37:52Speaker 3: picture of this is my fit for the day.
- 37:54Speaker 2: It was a jersey, some socks and shoes and that
- 37:59Speaker 2: bro thro fire. I'm like, oh, they don't know what's
- 38:03Speaker 2: going on. They don't understand.
- 38:06Speaker 3: So whoever whoever on the media tama that bro the
- 38:14Speaker 3: tea Scott's no draws, they got got cleaned up.
- 38:21Speaker 1: They said we have the team arena. I got number
- 38:24Speaker 1: one fail. You can't do me like that?
- 38:26Speaker 5: Has the city embrace you? Though?
- 38:28Speaker 2: Bro?
- 38:29Speaker 6: As a whole, I feel they really embraced me, And
- 38:32Speaker 6: I think I remember talking to uh I think Dominique
- 38:35Speaker 6: a few years ago about it, like just the way
- 38:37Speaker 6: I embraced the city.
- 38:38Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, it's the same similar to
- 38:41Speaker 2: how he did.
- 38:42Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. And it's like that's why
- 38:44Speaker 6: they they really mess with you a certain you know
- 38:46Speaker 6: what I'm saying a certain ways. So I definitely get
- 38:48Speaker 6: a lot of love when I go go out in
- 38:50Speaker 6: the city and go places around.
- 38:52Speaker 2: So I really love it.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Okay, obviously you know what I'm saying. It happened a
- 38:55Speaker 1: successful what's that first All Star Now? I feel like,
- 38:58Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying for a lot of players,
- 38:59Speaker 1: and that's a minament a moment for them, you know,
- 39:01Speaker 1: takeing recognized playing that stage.
- 39:02Speaker 2: What was it like for you? Man?
- 39:04Speaker 6: It was It was unreal, Bro, it was unreal. I
- 39:06Speaker 6: got announced here in Oklahoma City.
- 39:09Speaker 5: Yeah yeah.
- 39:10Speaker 6: We played the Thunder the next day and I was
- 39:12Speaker 6: able to be at my house and watch it with
- 39:15Speaker 6: my mom and my family. So it was like an
- 39:17Speaker 6: unreal feeling when they announced it and then the game.
- 39:21Speaker 6: It was the year Kobe pass, so the teams were
- 39:24Speaker 6: winning two and twenty four and that was the first.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Uh, it was a fun game.
- 39:29Speaker 6: The only thing I hated about it was that I
- 39:32Speaker 6: didn't get to finish the game and I was a starter.
- 39:35Speaker 6: But uh, that was you know what I'm saying, that's
- 39:38Speaker 6: part of it, I guess being a young young guy,
- 39:40Speaker 6: me and Luca didn't get to finish the games.
- 39:43Speaker 5: But it was It was.
- 39:45Speaker 6: Cool though that was that was a fun experience, a fun,
- 39:48Speaker 6: fun first time experience. But I think I've had some
- 39:51Speaker 6: more fun, fun experiences after that.
- 39:53Speaker 2: Most definitely miament of moment.
- 39:54Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy right now you're going viral again, man,
- 39:58Speaker 1: they say, you know what I'm saying.

- 45:01Speaker 3: I'm out there shoot he run on the court. I
- 45:03Speaker 3: only get five minutes a game now, seeing me told
- 45:07Speaker 3: than me six too excited to see what he's gonna do.
- 45:10Speaker 5: Is you know what I mean?
- 45:11Speaker 3: He went to he went to the game today and
- 45:14Speaker 3: he was looking at that crowd. Yeah, it's looking looking
- 45:20Speaker 3: specially that portal. They looking special. I'm excited to see
- 45:29Speaker 3: his journey though.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
- 45:32Speaker 1: And it's crazy because I think you might have just
- 45:33Speaker 1: missed this window. But imagine what you would have did
- 45:36Speaker 1: with the n IL, especially with.
- 45:39Speaker 2: Oh Man. How much would have cost okay.
- 45:42Speaker 6: Man with a camera after that first year? Yeah, you know,
- 45:46Speaker 6: I mean that's what I'm saying. I mean, no, I
- 45:49Speaker 6: wouldn't like That's the thing. If I would have played
- 45:51Speaker 6: the way I did my freshman year, ain't no reason
- 45:52Speaker 6: to stay from the n I L NBA, NBA money.
- 45:57Speaker 2: That's why I tried to tell.
- 45:57Speaker 6: These kids, like there's no reason that if you really
- 46:00Speaker 6: feel like you got a chance make it to the NBA.
- 46:02Speaker 6: It's like, there's no reason to be your mindset to
- 46:05Speaker 6: be chasing this n IL bag.
- 46:06Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. It should be let's get
- 46:08Speaker 2: to the best place that I can be to help
- 46:11Speaker 2: get to the next level.
- 46:12Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. If they give me a
- 46:13Speaker 6: lot of money, that's cool. If they don't, you know
- 46:15Speaker 6: what I'm saying, I understand what my mission is. It
- 46:18Speaker 6: it ain't about the money. So some of these kids
- 46:20Speaker 6: gonna ruin their careers just by chasing this this college bag.
- 46:24Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. And you said that's I mean,
- 46:27Speaker 6: it's a lot of money, of course, for sure, but
- 46:29Speaker 6: it's not you know what I'm saying, generational.
- 46:31Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, where you can like NBA
- 46:33Speaker 2: like what we're able to do if you if you
- 46:36Speaker 2: play it the right way.
- 46:37Speaker 3: So I just I'm love that you said that because
- 46:39Speaker 3: a lot of kids are making decisions to go to
- 46:41Speaker 3: a school where they might not even play necessary the
- 46:44Speaker 3: game that they want to play. They might go to
- 46:46Speaker 3: somewhere they a pick and roll player and they run
- 46:49Speaker 3: a personal offense, but they gave them a home three
- 46:52Speaker 3: hundred thousand or whatever. Man, you gotta go where it's
- 46:54Speaker 3: best for you, where you can play, because the goal
- 46:56Speaker 3: is to get to the next level, or even if
- 46:58Speaker 3: you're not gonna make it to the NBA, the goal
- 47:00Speaker 3: is to play so well that they have to pay
- 47:02Speaker 3: you two million dollars later.
- 47:04Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
- 47:05Speaker 2: If the NBA might not be fair.
- 47:06Speaker 3: I mean, obviously everybody's not gonna make to the name
- 47:09Speaker 3: of everybody, it's not that special. But you want to
- 47:11Speaker 3: play at a high level. You go get a million
- 47:13Speaker 3: dollars the first year, and you don't play that much
- 47:15Speaker 3: and you don't play well, you're not getting a million
- 47:17Speaker 3: dollars second year.
- 47:18Speaker 2: That's a fact. Yeah, that's a fact.
- 47:21Speaker 5: I think it kills the kids shot for this. Do
- 47:23Speaker 5: you think it sucks up there to like work ethic
- 47:25Speaker 5: two though?
- 47:26Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's what I think. It kills the most,
- 47:28Speaker 6: you know, the kids, especially the kids, the highly rated kids.
- 47:32Speaker 6: Like there was kids that are higher.
- 47:33Speaker 2: Rated than me.
- 47:34Speaker 6: I think I was finished like twenty fourth or twenty six.
- 47:37Speaker 6: I mean I was probably like the second guy drafted
- 47:39Speaker 6: out of my class, you know what I'm saying. So
- 47:41Speaker 6: it's crazy that's after after one year, third guy. So
- 47:45Speaker 6: it's like, uh, that's what I'm saying. It's like, I
- 47:49Speaker 6: can only imagine if I nil deals now, you know
- 47:51Speaker 6: what I'm saying, or even back then, like it would
- 47:54Speaker 6: have been kind of the same, same kind of thing.
- 47:56Speaker 1: So yeah, high love of guys can can lose track
- 47:59Speaker 1: of focus too by this short term money.
- 48:01Speaker 2: So yeah, what's the light being on? Or brown? Man?
- 48:05Speaker 1: Everybody growing and I'm saying I want to be the man.
- 48:07Speaker 1: I want awarded kicks now they tapped in. What's that

- 52:04Speaker 7: pickle ball. You know what I'm saying, crazy, that's crazy.
- 52:12Speaker 2: Not that.
- 52:14Speaker 3: I mean there's a lot of it's a lot of
- 52:17Speaker 3: clubs and a whole bunch of bouncers.
- 52:19Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so like that's how I took it.
- 52:22Speaker 3: I mean, you get back were talking about Atlanta when
- 52:26Speaker 3: you go to the strip club and then you gotta
- 52:28Speaker 3: pick up the oh yeah, pick up the ones the
- 52:32Speaker 3: dude that scrape up.
- 52:33Speaker 5: The one respect Yeah, the name of that job.
- 52:38Speaker 4: Let's keep it clean. O, my far I forgot you
- 52:41Speaker 4: tell us how you started the you know, the Young
- 52:44Speaker 4: Family Athletics Center.
- 52:49Speaker 2: A great transition.
- 52:51Speaker 6: I want to go positive. It's great talking about Yeah, no,
- 52:56Speaker 6: my my, My Young Family Athletic Center.
- 53:00Speaker 5: Yeah it was.
- 53:01Speaker 6: I mean it's kind of like another YCA version like yeah, uh,
- 53:06Speaker 6: I mean I grew up going to the YCA every
- 53:08Speaker 6: day every day, playing pick up with guys after the
- 53:10Speaker 6: school in the morning, before school, going to work out,
- 53:13Speaker 6: so it's kind of like another version of that, Like
- 53:16Speaker 6: it's I mean, as I think eight courts, I mean
- 53:21Speaker 6: I have it's actually as a hospital connected to it.
- 53:23Speaker 6: So we have Yeah, so if a kid basically braces leg, yeah,
- 53:27Speaker 6: you can go right there and not even get in
- 53:29Speaker 6: the car and drive away.
- 53:30Speaker 5: So that's crazy.
- 53:31Speaker 6: We have people come in there and get rehab and
- 53:34Speaker 6: use it for for other things other than basketball. But
- 53:37Speaker 6: we have basketball courts, we use it for volleyball, pickball, like,
- 53:41Speaker 6: we have a whole bunch of other events that go
- 53:43Speaker 6: on in the in the facility. So I think it's
- 53:45Speaker 6: where we're putting it to great use for sure, and
- 53:47Speaker 6: it's something that I mean, I'm happy we got to do.
- 53:50Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one thing I feel like that people really
- 53:52Speaker 1: miss so much, especially with the younger generation. Like we
- 53:54Speaker 1: all grew up playing basketball. It didn't matter which love
- 53:56Speaker 1: you played, but she was always in the gym. But
- 53:58Speaker 1: the gym was a safe place to keep people away
- 53:59Speaker 1: from doing other stuff, away from stuff. Sure, home may
- 54:02Speaker 1: be shaky, it was a safe haven. Kids are gonna
- 54:04Speaker 1: go outside play basketball no more. Now, it's like for
- 54:06Speaker 1: you to have something that people can just go and
- 54:08Speaker 1: just beat themselves or be kids or just enjoy the stuff.
- 54:10Speaker 2: That's dope, man. Yeah, we definitely like that a lot nowadays,
- 54:13Speaker 2: No for.
- 54:13Speaker 6: Sure, And I mean I think that's why it's important
- 54:16Speaker 6: like that. I mean, guys continue to push like playing fives,
- 54:19Speaker 6: like especially if you want to play. I mean, just
- 54:22Speaker 6: being active like that's that's kind of what it is
- 54:25Speaker 6: for too. And I think we have it after school
- 54:27Speaker 6: program that I mean, it's not as already there. I mean,
- 54:30Speaker 6: I know that's something I wanted to do and we're
- 54:32Speaker 6: gonna put that in. So I mean, I think that's
- 54:34Speaker 6: important for kids to have somewhere. I used as a
- 54:36Speaker 6: school program that my middle school. Like my parents are working,
- 54:40Speaker 6: you have places to go. So I think that's a
- 54:43Speaker 6: big reason why we're using it too. So yeah, nah,
- 54:46Speaker 6: that's dope, bro.
- 54:47Speaker 1: It ain't a lot, man, just being out about with
- 54:48Speaker 1: y'all and the team all day. To see the impact
- 54:50Speaker 1: in your city. Even with always give him praise because

- 58:25Speaker 6: talented players and a lot of guys that are playing
- 58:27Speaker 6: for something too, So that'll that'll push guys to go
- 58:31Speaker 6: with your hardest. So when you got guys playing for something,
- 58:35Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's scary. And so we have we

- 58:39Speaker 5: I got Jaalen being then All Star this year.
- 58:41Speaker 2: I do too.

- 58:44Speaker 4: I see him taking the big league. BRO put me
- 58:46Speaker 4: on to him last year like he really a special
- 58:50Speaker 4: player for real.
- 58:50Speaker 2: Yeah, before you got hurt, we was top five in
- 58:53Speaker 2: the East. Think about it. I could understand that different.
- 58:58Speaker 6: You may look at us the way we ended the
- 59:00Speaker 6: season and all that, but I mean Jalen is forty
- 59:03Speaker 6: five plus game I'm saying, and that's he was on
- 59:06Speaker 6: an All Star level last year. I mean on that track,
- 59:09Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying to having his first All Star.
- 59:11Speaker 6: So I believe if he's something, he's gonna have his
- 59:13Speaker 6: first All Star All Star this year. And we haven't
- 59:16Speaker 6: winning season and everything will be good.
