• 4:47
  Speaker 3: he was terrible.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I mean no, it wasn't no crazy like it was
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: around a whole bunch of fee I'm not saying all that. Yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: we find us about the funniest one though. When we
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: landed in Houston one night and the overo playing was
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: outside look back my head already playing. I'm alreaty like,
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: I'm already looking turn around. I was like, hey, yeah,
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: we're outside.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: You already over your play right there, ship Poppy somewhere
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: we go be.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: There the show without the ashtown Son and we was outside.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: We already start to show the question for you know
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, since you've been spending time in the league, Okay,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: what's the craziest thing or like the craziest moment You've
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: been a part of the NBA so.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Far, Man, been a part of a lot of crazy moments.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You've definitely been on some two nice teams, oh Man,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I think there's two of them. One was when I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: when I got drafted with the Jimmy jim That was
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the crazy situation and that was just messy as soon
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: as I just got I just got in walking to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the hill in the middle of it. And then I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: feel like last year when we uh we got Katie,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that was crazy too.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: I was trying to make sure I don't want to
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: be in these because you know, but you know, when
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: bos tweet, it's just like one tweet like Phoenix Suns
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: a choir Kevin Durant.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, cool, who who the other team acquiring? Though,
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So those two moments, I
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: would say like they were like one of the biggest moments.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, that's you started your rookie year in Minnesota.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I was at the first time I linked up because
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: he was already there obviously.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy because I remember Tims Tibbs was my dog,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: you know, me and Tims was tight. So when we
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: was doing the draft process, I seen him play at
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech and I've seen the other rookie, which was Cater.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: They was debating on picking him or Kater at that spot,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, luckily we end up getting both. But
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I was like, now that Nigga played hard, that's you
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: tips and he was like, yeah, run through the wall.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: So I knew he was getting When I came there,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I was already hyped to know him, like play because
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I knew who he was. Washington play because it's me
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and Tim was looking at film over so I was like, came,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: introduce myself and he was real cool, it's cool ship,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: that's what's up.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Bro.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: I wanted to take it back to the beginning though, Bro,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: when did you come back or when did you move
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: to the stage from Legos how much?
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was born in you know, Legos, Nigeria. I
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: moved to the stage when I was three. That much.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: I ain't spend too I don't even remember. I don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: even remember. But I've been back a couple of times,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: so I know who's who. When it comes to like
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: extended family and kind of around the cities, and stuff,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: but being born there, I don't I don't remember. Are
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: you tapped into the Afro b world one thousand percent?
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Who're your favorite artist? Brouh? My favorite artist is actually
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Can I ain't heard that he got to bro he
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: probably he was the most. He was number one in
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Afro Beach last year, like most listened to real Nigerian
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: who you think got it cracking?
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: So far as like the blend from Nigeria to the
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: States though to the US, like was it whiz Kid?
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Was it? Who got that merge going? Like you gotta
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: go wiz Kid? And the reason why I say wiz
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Kid is because wiz Kid been in the game like
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: for a long time. Like I remember I was in
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: eighth grade when we went to Nigeria for like winter break.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: I'm listening to whiz Kid and that's eighth grade. That's damn,
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: that's I don't even know what you're twenty eleven, twelve, Yeah, yeah,
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: that's around that around that time, So that was like
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: twelve years ago and he's still relevant. He was popping
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: back then and he's still relevant. That's when he had
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: a song with Chris Brown. I can't think of the
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: name of it, but he had a Papa song that's
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: well and then like you know, when Drake twenty sixteen
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: I think it was twenty sixteen did the one dance
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: with Wiz Kids, That's when it started last transforming and transformed.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: I was like, we don't need like American artist.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: It's no more to release music and be popular and
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: now you're all number one for sure.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you got ports car.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: He swear me afro b Henny bro who the YouTube?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I ain't heard that it respect?
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Where did you start? Who?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Funny story my oldest brother, he uh, I ain't lie.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: My house was born and ship growing up it was
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: it was born, and it was really nothing to do.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: My oldest brother. He wanted to find out what he
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: wanted to do, like if he wanted to play football.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: He was trying all different type of sports. So he
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: bought a basketball goal but never played it. And I
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: went outside one day and I was just like, ship
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: fucking let me try. Ever since that one one day
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: on driveway, I just fell in love with it. When
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: did you realize he was like really cold? Uh? When
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: I started playing like organized basketball, I was playing some
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: some bs. When I started playing organized basketball, it was
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: like sixth grade, and I like, I was the last
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: one picked on the team on these one I made
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: the teams. I was tall. I was this hyped for
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: like the longest damn yep, And so they picked They
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: picked me up like I was five eleven, like eighth grade,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: six feet and eighth grade. So they choice they picked
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: me up in the sixth grade is because I was tall.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Like I didn't even practice with the team. That's how
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: I said. I was first day of practice, like they practicing,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: I'm on the side doing mic and drills. Fuck fucking
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: it up. And I was happy though, because in my mind,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: I'm like I've never received instruction before from like somebody
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: who knows the game of basketball. So like you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: you might see like dang, like that's embarrassing. I wasn't embarrassed.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: I was having the time of my life doing MICA
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: and drift four hour, five times a week. Start breaking
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: down the stats I got. I got so good so quick,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: like a boy seventh grader the same team, because you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: it's sixth grade and then he comes seventh grade. By
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: seventh grade, I was starting. I went from not playing
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: in the sixth grade. When you know, like you get
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: a blown out. I was in the coach put all
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: the sorry, I still didn't getting it. We beat it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: I will never forget this. We beat a team forty
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: eight to eight. D I didn't play coach you satisfied.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Coach would have got in name drop, he would have
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: been on that bench with him. We ain't gonna do that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Finish your story. But no, But by that seventh grade
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: I was, I was starting, and I was like one
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: of like the best players on the team. So it
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: took a year and I learned, learned real quick, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: then just just kept elevating from there. So they was
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: grooming you to be a center or you always been
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: groomed to be a PG low No, they were they
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: was I played the post. I ain't. I ain't come
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: out that post to to like c P three. Eleventh
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: grade for real, Damn. Eleventh is when I but I was.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: I won like a post, like a I was like
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: a Yiannis. I'm not trying to I'm not trying to
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: compare myself.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I was in a sense where you could do stuff
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: perimeter wise.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I'm not out there shooting trades, but if I get
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: the rebound, there's not people looking at me. Like I
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: was question that I initiated the offense because usually the
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: other center would be on but I was always fast,
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: so the other center used to guard me. I just
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: go by him and as soon as somebody come, I'm
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: passing by the shooters. So it was like I was
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: a post player. I didn't shoot threes, but like I
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: could dribble and I could pass finish. It was a
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: wing on that CP three, but CB three, I was
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: a wing. That's when I but by that time I
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: had already established like a jump out shooting jumpers, trades
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: or phill ups. Well, other league uh players on your team,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: but it was me, Harry Giles and Grant Williams. So
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: you never played with THEO. No, I never played with you.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Harry Giles was that's.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Probably I'm not injurieshigh school.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say one that that was the best
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: player I've had as a teammate in high school. It
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: is how like on Instagram was legit. I remember my
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: first time because I had to leave my my E
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Y B O team to go to CP three because
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: I was originally with Southern Stampede and I moved to
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: CP three and they were like, look if.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: You go to c P three.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Ain't no coming back. But I ain't like the team.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: So I'm like, man, I'm just gonna better myself. I'm
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: gonna go ahead to this. They didn't really have try out,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: but it was practice to see if they them. So
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: I went through. You know, I went out there to
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: practice in North Carolina and you know, we running. They
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: told me to go set a screen for uh for Harry.

• 13:52
  Speaker 5: So I'm like, I'm this coach. I'm the new new environment,
• 13:55

• 13:58
  Speaker 5: and niggas came through snake that bit. I told them
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: they look, bro, how many screens.

• 14:37
  Speaker 5: early left hook, hit that motherfucker. They called time out.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: We up two or three seconds left, so we all

• 14:47
  Speaker 5: tennis on Jason many I don't even know his name.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: They had a point guard. He just dribbled like five
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: times down the right side of the court and shot it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: And then one of our players contested and he like
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: double clutches. It's bout half court and I'm under the
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: goal and I'm looking at the trajectory of that whole ship.

• 15:23
  Speaker 4: He didn't he would He played with somebody else in
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: high school though, to another league nigga, But I think
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: they only came together for a couple of tournament.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: And I had like a similar role on that team.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: I used to guard the other team best player, right,
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: and you know, I guarded mylik he was cold I
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: think he might was Arkansas, but I think damn. I
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: can't think who Jason plays. But Jason was probably like
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: the only player at that age where I'll say, like
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: his footwork was so ahead of like he would post up,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: mad post got the I'm like, I don't know which
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: way this nigga about. He would go to the high school.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: I think he was Dooley on his Saint Louis team.

• 16:44
  Speaker 1: all this going crazy straight hogh school Smith.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: He was Jr. Smith in high school. That's a great
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: NBA comparison.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: It is sure, but obviously he was killing the high
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: school and it got time to make them college decisions.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: We know you went to Georgia Tech, but if you didn't,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: what was the school that almost got you?
• 17:00

  Speaker 5: like four of us. We all went together. Like that
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: was like, uh Rick Barnes first recruiting class at Tennessee.

  Speaker 5: to VCU. So we all went there and I was
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: just like, man, they showed so much love. That's one
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: thing that I never really felt was like that college

• 20:56
  Speaker 5: You made the best college choice because s c C.

  Speaker 5: We wasn't really cracking back and also, uh, Tennessee they
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: had like Hella sophomores, Hella juniors when I was going in,
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: so I was like, I'm all about competition, you know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: I love to compete, but I'd rather go somewhere else
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: with the odds are more in my favorite And as
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: soon as I got there, it was like I was rolling.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: So it was it was like you said, it was
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: the best best decisions. Sure, bro shout out to.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Russell and ACC was the best conference basketball by far
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: at that point.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: But I close.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: How was it like playing in Cameron in Door? Like
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I was like playing and what's what's the USC ship?
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: It's not the Dean Dome as well, It's like, how
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: was it playing in them like historic places?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Because like you don't get that everywhere in college basketball.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Okay, so Cameron and Door and a deem Dome are
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: two hostile environments. But I rather play. I'm not saying
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: I'd rather play because I don't. I don't really it
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter to me. But Dean Dome was less hostile facts.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: And why I say that is like Cameron, indoor has seeking.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: It holds three thousand people. You taking that ball out
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: of bounds. They they scratching your neck like you that's right, bro,
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: it's a floor bounce like it's it's loudest because it's small.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: It's not. I mean, it's popular, but it's not as
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: big as you might think. Bro.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't realize that time got older. Like seeing
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: on TV, I'm like damn, and I got like damn.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: That's a little it's very small but large guest locker
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: room everything. It's like, hey you damn. But then Cameron,
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: I'm not Cameron. The Dean Dome is huge. So it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: like they're yelling and they loud as hell, but they
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: like back there, like you're not even worried about them
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: for really.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Like they yells like echoed, like yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: It was still I thought it still loud, but it's
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: just like over there, but like it's like you're feeling
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: like they're right behind the bench, like they are right
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: behind the bench. It was crazy. And then the team,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: the teams that both they had that they had at
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: the time made it worse too. Cause when I played,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: because I didn't play in the Dean Dom to my
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: sophomore year and I played, and I played in Camerinon
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: or my rookie year, my freshman year. But my freshman
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: year they had, Boy, we got smacked. They had Frank Jackson,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Grayson Allen on one wing shooting coming. They ran floppy
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: Grayson Allen coming off one way, Luke Cannard coming the
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: other way. Harry Giles said, one screen, Jason Tatum. Then
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: they got a mel Jefferson who twenty four, but I
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: was seventeen in college. I actually ended up beeting but
• 23:38

• 24:20
  Speaker 5: free throw one for two, they hit the three's. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: scored three to nine and we ain't really do nothing.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: And that's how the whole game. But I think it's
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: called one hundred points one hundred points bro in college
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: because you know, I was like whatever, But back then,

  Speaker 5: find my name or nothing. And not that I was
• 30:43

• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I don't set up man.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to see if you come in focused,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: maybe you can keep your mind right going on.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: What does that translate to though? Like, well, and during
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: the season, at what point were you being a gym
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: for four hours out basketball and then just.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Go out there and go They just trying to mental
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: mentally break you. And that's so crazy because like like
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: c J.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Stroud when they're talking about him and then poor testing
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: and stuffs the funk about the test that you can do.

  Speaker 5: Your drive right, Yeah, I've seen that too, like the testing. Yeah.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: I like what he said though, like I don't do tests.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: I played football. Yeah, fact, what are we doing? He
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: proved that ship he did now for he's and he
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: had swag doing it, and he felt like his poison
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: like he's been doing this for a minute at the
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: NFL level, that's all.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: It took over a franchise and low key, I mean,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: we gotta see what's up.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I rich, I think at the rich and come back solid.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: But he low key took over a division because before
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: this year they was all talking about Trevor Lawrence. We
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: ain't heard Treyl lawreces name. Since it's a good point.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, Georgia Tech got a new coach, Damn started
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: mar how you feel about to pick up?
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: I feel good, man, because the thing about Tech, right,
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: And I've talked to Damon too. You know, I've seen
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: him this summer when I was in the gym hooping.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: I obviously seen him in league when Heed to coach
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: with the Celtics, Georgia Tech need to need a coach,
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: and I'm pretty sure it's X's and oser. You know
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: what they are. I'm not I'm not even talking about
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: his ex and those. They just need a coach that
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: got some pool. Yeah that no people, you know what
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. It's not like our school is already hard
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: to get in. It's hard to stay in, you know
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying. And kids don't kids, Like I said,
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: I dealt with that shit too. I know how it is.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: A kid like, man, I gotta do this work. And
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: I was always a good student, like my GPA was
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: high in school. I was always smart, but just having
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: to like, man, I gotta put you just want to
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: hoop as a kid, I don't want to have to
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: go to class and do this essay and it'd be
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: hard as hell, you know what I'm saying. So but
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: if I know I'm gonna play for a coach who
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: got some league connects, who who cool being in my shoes,
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: playing in the league, did all that stuff, I'm like
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: I might be able to be like, Okay, I'm happy.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna deal with them with I can play for
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: that coach. I mean, we ain't had that type of
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: coach in a long time.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: That's real.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And like you said, if you now, you gotta
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: do this now. It's different when you go to a
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: college and you either got that big brand pool or
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: you got it from the coaches, got the connections.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: You went there.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: You said you had a coach who didn't make I
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: had all the resources and it was rustled.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: He really made that shit work.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: And he know, like he's been around the league for
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: a long time, so he know what like league level
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: stuff look like, like our lounges and our and our
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: stuff at our facility. It ain't like that's the first
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: thing you say, like, man, that's what y'all should look like.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: I'll go there now it shit looks nice like he
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: he broke all that shit down, like he broke all
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: that shit. He putting new shit up there like the
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: now just look good. Ship actually got snacks Like when
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: I was in college, Like I knew when we had
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: a recruiting town, there was snacks in the lounge, like
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: you go there some power raids like yeah, who in
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: town today? You got raids in.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech that was that was what was on.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: I'm like, we got power raids today. Oh yeah, we
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: got a recruited town. Just lasted two days.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: They need to destroy that drink. That's probably the worst
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: sports power. The other day that was that was pretty good.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Brock Pike served with them. Damn basketball games.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I remember all sports the drink.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was trash too for solid any time. That
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: used to be a thing. But that's those trash damn whack.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: So going through that draft process, making it to the league,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: you know, play the Minnesota I was there with your
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: rookie year.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Like, what's the best part about being the NBA player?
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Like all the other ship, Like you live in your dream,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: but what's the best part of it?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: I feel like the best part for me because I'm
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: big on community, the best part for me is seeing
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: the influence you have on people, Like and it's funny
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: that you are high school coach. That's what I want
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: to do when I'm done playing, to be a coach
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: because it's like, I know, like kids, man, they face
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: a lot of problems these days, and you know a
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: lot of them don't even be their fault, you know,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: their kids, but one bad decision can change the course
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: of their life. Fact, And you know, I was one
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: time I told this kid. I was like, right, Bro,
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: don't do that. He still tak me today. Bro, I'm
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: so glad that you told me not to do that
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: like that. I'm like, Dad, I won't even I didn't
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: even think it met like it meant that much to it,
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. But seeing it had a
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: positive impact on somebody, and not saying that he would
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: be in a pad position now if he did do it,
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: but like just seeing that like that for me, that's
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: the best part about being in the league. Yeah, that's
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: the worst part. The worst part about being in the league.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: I would say, it's like people don't think you're human.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they treat you like.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: Like if I go to like I play video games,
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: if I go stream, the first thing that's gonna say
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: on the stream is you ain't shooting threes while you
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: playing video games. You should be in the gym. I'm like,
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: it don't work like like this.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Ship don't work like that because everybody don't work like Bro.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: I've seen you talk about I've seen one of your podcasts.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: You told somebody man go to like go to sleep.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: I don't sleep. I work out, be in the gym.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: I mean I think and I think. You know, obviously
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: people look at you know, when everybody think about like
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: working hard, the first person come to your mind is
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: like Kobe and the mentality. You know what I'm saying.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: But I think there's a big difference between not working
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: hard and being in the gym. All like there's a spectrum,
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: because yeah, it is because you're not like it's because
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: you're playing video games, don't I mean you in the gym.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: And it's because you in the gym, don't mean you
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: don't you can't have a life. That's the one thing there.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: My rookiet Derrick Rose told me this. He was like,
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: he was like I asked him, I'm like, yo, what's
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: your biggest regret in basketball? And he told me he
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: was like, my biggest regret is when I was, you know,
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: coming up, I didn't give times to a lot of
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: things that mattered in my life. Like I was so
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: involved in like my people going to like a concert,
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't go because I want to go to the gym,
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: or if I wanted to do this, I wouldn't go
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: because I want to go to the gym. But then
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: you go you fast forward ten years and all your
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: homies and your family. They having all these memories. You
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: were never a part of. No memories. It's because you're
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: in the gym, and yeah, you getting better. But just
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: I could have missed that and still did the gym.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, I could have went to the events and
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: still went to the gym. But I was just focused
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: on thinking that if I did do the concert, if
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: I did do that, it would take away from basketball.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: And that was never the case. That's what he told me.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I ain't missed a concert.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Nigga was at every concert and State Ford was called
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: Philips Rina back there, right, I should have been.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: In the jail.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Comes with it, thought, Bro, Man, you get your.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Ass on that stream man and some motherfucker come and
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: see man, that's why that nigga missed out them shot.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's like.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: He played together.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: You got out at the right time.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: No niggas boomed me in uh Milwaukee because I grabbed
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: a rebound from Bobby Porters.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I'm they start saying Bobby, Bobby. I'm looking like they're like,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: you fun out, and I'm like, what the fuck up?
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: Got man? Now that that ban is illegal in so
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: many more states, bro, I mean I get I get
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: I'll tell your story. I ain't gonna tell you what
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: my teammate, bro, one of my teammates, the nigga got
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: in at the end of the game, scores four straight,
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: playing the game for like I don't know a minute,
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: scored four points, got to it. He got a d
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: M and he barely played.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: I know who it is he got.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: He got it. Then he was like, why did you score?
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: They went, he said, and they told that no cat
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: the end, they're like, why did you score? You're the
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: reason why I'm still racist when niggas don't store as
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: a problems when niggas scored, you know, because I guess
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: up the spread or something. Yeah, I know, I know,
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: but that's what I'm saying. Though he went in the
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: game and he did his thing, did his thing, but
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: one hundred percent from the field, that black man, But
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: he is sucking up that person that said the fun but.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: The four once he needed ass from scoring them four
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: points because he probably fucked up.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: A lot of That's what I'm saying. But he looking
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: at it like, look well, when you at that time,
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: I ain't gonna say that type of player, but when
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: you when you a player who don't play a lot
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: every minute. It's precious because if you get four points,
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: coach might be like, okay, it might you might get
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: like four minutes of garbage time. Next time you score
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: ten points, then niggas might knock on what It might
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: be a situation when a lot of people aren't playing
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: and coach like, okay, he has scored them four points,
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: scoring him ten points. People ain't playing. Coach put a
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: little bit, has a little bit of trust. Throw him
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: out there and maybe coming off the bench now he
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: going crazy. But that started because of that game he
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: had four points.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: Look, why niggas be tight niggas. The niggas be thinking
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: the ship is rid because it's like, y'all, I didn't
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: even think about putting this nigga in the game.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: The game is scored four points.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: But also if you do plays use DraftKings, that's fair.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: That's fair. Niggas. Niggas bet on me all the time.
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: Bro say, look, if y'all do not let me know, bro,
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: because they be trying to tell me jail that three
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: missed within the third quarter. I'm like, bro, don't tell
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: me about no. I don't want to hear no. Best
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: don't come to me about no advice. What's your usual though, Bro?
• 42:19

  Speaker 5: What I'm saying, this is what I am saying, though,
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: This is what I'm saying because y'all are trying to conditions. Bro,
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: I'm saying the conditions like I'm not saying nothing other
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: than basketball. Like I'll give your perfect example. We had
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: like an Olympic qualifying qualifying tournament in Niger, right, so
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: they set up the court in a convention center and
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: they put hardwood on carpet. They did that here before
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: had but like, okay, but this is to get to
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: the Olympics. You want to get to the y'all got
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: a different type of bill, bro. So the strongest people
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: come from your homeland a thousand percent.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: So I feel like if we are able, and that's
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: why I love what you know what the NBA is
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: doing investing in Africa with the Bashla of Africa League
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: because I feel like, if you can get like there's
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: a lot of players in Africa who have given a
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: fair chance, but if the conditions we have here if
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: you take that over there, but it's gonna be in
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: Bee's Gianni's every year, every year. I kid you not,
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: But it's just it's just so. And basketball is not
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: really like a fan favorite over there, you know.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: So you know what I'm saying.
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: So because it's not you're not going to see a
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: lot of people putting their money into development in bas
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: That's why you've seen that one kid, I know, he
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: went viral. He'd be working out like he he got
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: like the tires and like the water water. He's going
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: crazy working out because like there's nowhere else to go
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: to to do that stuff. That's why I said for
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: Jake Cole to leave America and go to Africa and
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: go play over there, that means he really loves basketball,
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: because you're not playing over there if you don't love it.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: That's That's That's what I'm trying to say.
