• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, the worst paradems of truth, you know.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: But the old school or Warriors jerseys was. I was like,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you know, that's a fire color way. And then of
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: course after you was like Jared Jack and then it
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: was like mante Ellis and then they turned to this
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: guy Steph Steph Curry, and I was like, I'm going
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: back to my sons.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like no.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't believe his like she Cat's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: always injured. I was like, you got it from where. No,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I'm back.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I don't go back.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm a son's fan. I'm a glud for punishment,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you know. Man, be like, wait, we got to GYMPI shu.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Though we've had some things. Either way, I appreciate you,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: bro for you know, everything that you've done your career.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Play thirteen, man, play beyond, just get into the league,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: play thirteen.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's special. Man. It was.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, and I would say I came into the league, hm,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: you know, I was coming off an ACL injury. In
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: my freshman year. So my sophomore year was my next
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: year back. And then I came into the league. You know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: at the time, you know acl injuries, it was like, oh,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: your career is over. We don't know what to do right,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: But you know, I would say fortunately I was able
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: to play the first three years.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I made every game.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I played every game, and then like I shouldn't have slowly,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: but surely you know your body just like if you
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: can ever get to you'll never get to one hundred percent.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's just like, that's just a fact.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Feel every athlete, you will never fill one hundred percent
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: of yourself.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Until the all season.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: You're like, dang, yeah, until it's until it's over, you
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, until it's over. But when you're
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: coming back from injury, it's like, oh, one hundred percent
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: of the eighty percent that you feel. Because as soon
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: as you are eighty seventy five in my case, it
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: was like seventy sixty five. As soon as you show
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that you all right, they want to put you back
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: in the game. And so to think about it, whenever
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: you are injured, if you had another two weeks.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: How much better would you have been? But the season ain't.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: But it's our fault, you know, as athletes, because we
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: want to do that. But you know, I'm just fortunate
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: to be able to play thirteen injuries back and you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: just persevere through it all because the journey was and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the journey was the most important part, and you know
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I got through that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about that journey. I want to talk
• 3:30

  Speaker 3: Man, I would say nobody. Really, I'm just uh, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I pay homage. Some people say my voice kind of
• 5:55

• 6:06
  Speaker 3: uh sing the hooks. I'm just having fun. You can
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: tell I'm having fun. But everything has like a little
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: concept to it. So you know, shout out to Guru,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I would saying, So you do your own art, like, no,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: this is the artist Eric Boullie. So I partner with artists,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: and he's the artist for still Cut. So it's like
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: a comic series. So my goal is to make twelve
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: still Cut twelve and then it'll be like a whole comic. Yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You know, hey, man, I got a lot of time
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: on my hand.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I've heard about retiring, I said, with nothing
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to do with with with a whole lot of you
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: find something, we're gonna go off the deep end and.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Then you come back once you come up. You're like, damn,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: what can I do now? Dude, be like a little wait,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like start up a truck, fit do something. I'm telling
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you gonna try it out.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: When I was on Dancing with the Stars, why because
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, it would be cool to travel
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the world and learn how the ballroom dance.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And so that was the only thing I needed to do.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: To convince that's how you got it? What you know
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: what I do want to pick up this, I will
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: go with the stars.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You should be on it. I turned it. I've turned
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it down currently because I was like a couple years
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: ago we got that like, hey, do you want to go?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I need you on that, dude, absolutely not.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Like I can do.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I have the idea that I can as sure. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: don't want somebody to tell me I can't. I know no,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that's the thing.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We can't. I couldn't. I couldn't.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I think for football players it's it's an easier transfer
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: real yeah, and then with some basketball players you have
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: to like walk a certain way or like run and
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: move a certain way for you know, like to really
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: take yeah, you know take that take it into.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I thought for point guard it might be easier because
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, like the flow, everything is
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: a flow.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And once you get into a flow.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I'm like a defensive lineman that point guard. They like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: walk on your toes toe here. I'm like, man, I
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: can't do that. I'm want to get in the defensive stands.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: They're like, no, you gotta balance on one leg. Like
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: all your balance is shifting weight from one leg to
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the next, one leg to the next. So it's like
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: it's a huge, huge, huge, huge, look I've seen.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that? And then you got
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to move your arms, no doubt.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: And also before sign.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: That way too much, think about that. They like, I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: believe in Scott. I don't believe in me. Can't you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: remember your sets? Bro? I did.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I had to remember steps for a bit I did
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: with Kirk Cousins and uh with the s p's one
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: year a couple of years ago, were like, let's call
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: it a quick little eight count, you know, and I
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm thinking about it. Oh no, And if
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Honor's not the speaks in if Honors, I'm like, I'm like,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: oh wait, did I forget it?
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: No?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I got it, And by the time it was over,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I was like I still think. I was like, damn,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I missed that stuff. Yeah, exactly. That was my experience
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: on the Stars. I was like, damn, I missed a step,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I missed the move. And then you don't think about
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the suit that I'm wearing.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I'm in this dope ass suit, but the material is
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: not is not material is rigid? Oh no, I'll say,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, like the my man like do
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the splits and touch his toes and suit I'm over
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: here like I got to stay with you the box
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: my movie look super rigid now and then back then
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I got I got kirk coat chains out here out now,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I said, no, bro like he got like I've got
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: all the flavor.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: He was tice. So that's stiffing you up for sure. Man.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Talking about sports though, like you know you played basketball,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: but you just said it. You know you alluded to
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: be a defensive player. What was what was your first love?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I would always say basketball was my first love. But
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: football was when I was really really good at when
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I was growing up, Like I was really good at football,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: and I was just like everybody thought I was so
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: small in basketball, you know, point guard. I'm the smallest
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: doe on the football field like I was a terear,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Like it don't matter how tall you are, as long
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: as you got that dog.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And if you was seven foot, I don't. I just
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: don't see you play found.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: For you don't think you don't think it's seven foot
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: that could play wide receiver in the NFL.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Jesus, you took Lebron and all his greatness and you
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: put him out of wide receiver. He make six games
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: tops when I tell you have no needs, no shoulders,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: like that's taken out.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: That's the reason why the big ones don't last long.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Bro, you come over this middle and actually when he
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: in the league two thousand and three.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you was dead dead? Did Manwaukee? Right?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Because they now now you probably have a better chance
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: because you know now the league, the league has protected
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: defensive players receiver. They've done their job to make sure
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: touchdowns will forever be king.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: But absolutely not.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You would have took him to the two thousands. He
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: wouldn't made it two thousand and five. Okay, all right, bro,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Like we got a these two, I hear you, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Russ Westbrook.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Is a hell of athlete. No, I don't, I don't.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I can see Russ probably playing corner corner, that's it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: But six foot four corner happening, that's tough, not happening.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: But all he'd be like, you know, receiver, he could
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: be a receiver, but god, go across what position you play?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Safety? Cam Chancellor? He was coming.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Damn man, I'm trying to take somebody head. I'm trying
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: to get all right, I take the fine all that
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: you know. Don't come across this middle. Don't go deep.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: If the ball, if you touch the ball, if you
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: come close to the ball here.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Bad. So he was out there looking like the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: other bad Brian do. Yeah. Who is your favorite NFL
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: players growing up?

  Speaker 3: Mike Singletary when I played Pop Warner. I used to
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: do that, like Mike said to the kids. And then

  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tony Rice, I was wearing number nine when I

  Speaker 1: They came here. Now it's a Vegas mentality.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I think it's a combination of LA and Oakland. We
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: just haven't figured out got to professionalize it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: In Vegas, right. I was like, it's it's we're getting there.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: We're getting very you know, like those Raiders. It's not
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the same. And I get it, I don't.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: You know, it's nice, it's professional.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: We gotta you know, just like you said, we we
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: gotta evolve and take that same mentality and how it
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: works and this new NFL.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, you host the Raiders Talk of the
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Nation show, Right, how do you feel about it?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: You know you sat down.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: You've been able to sit down the start of the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: season this season by interviewing Mark Davis's first episode, like,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: how's that going?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Man? That's crazy? Uh, you know, being being a fan. Yeah. Right.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You walk in the building, You're like, damn, dude, I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: would love to work here for the Raiders. You're hired.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what, let's go.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: So every day you know that I work, I'm I'm
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I'm happy, I'm upbeat.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be there.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: And so the opportunity and interview Mark Davis, he used
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: to sit on the floor at the Warrior game, so
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: when I will run out, I would always get you know, love, Yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: show Love's an opportunity like that being my first interview.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I've interviewed the Backstreet Boys, you know who, Max Crosby,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: we sat down. So I've been kind of mixing it
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: up and it's great because it gives us, you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: just it's for a fan, like I'm a true fan,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: So I get to ask people questions. I get to
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: be a little naive, you know, I'm into the stories.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: But it you know, I love what the Raiders did
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: because the Raiders organization, man is like the best organization,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: the way they treat their former players, they current players,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: you know, staff, And so for me, this show is
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: really for the fans. Are people who want to become
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: a part of you know, part of the nation, like you, right,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: so we need you.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: On.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: The Raiders don't hit as hard as Black and Goal.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, and look, bro, you know I love New Orleans.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I played in New Orleans, you know, But I think
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: you should finish your career with the Raiders because once
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: a Raider, always a Raider, you know what I mean,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Like you ain't when you retire. Yeah, you're not going
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: to a Saints game, Oh.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: For sure, I am. I'm in there forever. Of course,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: of course you're gonna.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: But what I'm saying, when you go in the game,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: they don't give you Lobster, don't give you prime, they
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: don't give you gear.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: When you walk in, we.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Get boot and baby, don't get man.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: They don't charter you places. They don't have a whole
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: suite for you, the whole alumni. You know, I'm not
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying New Orleans don't, but they ain't got
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: it because you know, I'll be over there now. The
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Raiders you go back there, oh man, it's like, yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: you're still playing.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You know what they do show a lot of love
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: to the level what I say, like different, but I see,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you know a lot of guys in there. You know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I just over there. I would justin t them, let's
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: just go to die, like they got to get out
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: to go and go back to what you know, devout
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Adams the Raiders, like I'm out and he still love
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: the Raters, does he ask him?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: No matter what type of time you.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Had, and you always like, yeah, you ain't gonna get
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: no better love from a.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Raiter fan like you. To include Pe Carroll.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, absolutely, like coach had a rival school
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: USC type.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Well the USC thing, we don't even yeah, we just
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: yeah you talking about that and see stuff.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, stay tuned, We'll be right back. How's your assessment
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: of the Raiders team this year?
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: You know what, I was very very optimistic coming into
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: the year. For very optimistic Carol. You got Pete Carroll,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: we got news Gen Smith. Yeah, you know I loved
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: a p I love the way, like you know, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: just felt that he brought he brought a certain type
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: of meanness and grittiness. And then I thought, you know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Pete could come in and just take what we had,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: professionalize it, you know, and we gotta live with what
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: with what Pete?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: You know? And spy tech Bill.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And so coming into the season, you look at
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: our picks. We we did good in the draft. We
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: have some good returning players. So I had high just
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: like all Rader fans, we got high expectations a year
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: or somehow. But what I will say about the Raiders, where.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Does his faith come from? Uh?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: You talked about the Super Bowls one in l A.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: And that's that's the last one. That was a long
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: time ago. But you gotta have faith.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, bro, you know right now, and I got faith.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: You gotta have I got faith.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: You don't go out there you see.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, we but it is different.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: But I you know, I thought that that and I
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: still think right just as a Raider fan, I'm always hopeful.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: So when I'm looking at this season and thinking about,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: like just as a professional athlete my career, how did
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: that feel?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: What did that feel like?
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: New coast, new GM, new players, new players at all
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: the key positions that you.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Need minus the defense because you got Max Crossing. Yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: we got Max, but Bowers is his second year, you
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. And so.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you think about, Okay, a rookie comes in
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: and goes off the charts, but he's still a rookie.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: He still got to get acclimated to all the things.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Now, you got to get acclimated to a new coach,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: new team, new quarterback after an explosive year, and you
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: got a new running back, and you got a new
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: coach and you got a new quarterbacks. So everything is
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: kind of new, and it's a lot of times it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: tough to change cities, right and adopt a whole new
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: system and have a routine and figure out who you're
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: going to be because it's just a short window.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I look at the Raiders and I say, okay, our
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: record is what two and seven? We could easily be
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: you know, four and three or three and four. You know, well,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: four and three for sure. I'm like, y'all, yeah, we.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Could easily be seven and three, and we're sitting at
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: two and eight.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm like, brother, we've been in this thing.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, every game, Right, you look at a couple, you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: a block field goal, you know, just a couple like
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: it's almost like you a couple of plays away from
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: being in a different position and being able to fight
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: to earn your slot into like a playoff position or
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: to show promise during the season.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And so you know that can turn anyway. And I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: look at.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: It as there's there's there's a lack of familiarity, right,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: and there is an acceleration of trying to build system, camaraderie,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: team talent, and discovery. So I'm rolling with the Raiders.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not I'm mad at our record, right, but I'm
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: not mad at the at the effort at what we're
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: trying to get to, because we got you. Sometimes you
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: got to hit rock bottom or sometimes you gotta be
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: at the bottom to recognize yeah, man, And then when
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: you when you I remember in basketball, you're going to
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: eight game, five game loser streak and the coach walk
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: in the locker room and say, hey man, when you're
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: tired of losing, we.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Won't lose no more.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: And all that is is like figuring out how do
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: we finish these fourth quarters?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: How do you win games? What's as a unit exact
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: from here? What is our common cozi? Like, hey man,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: we gotta go do something crazy, and.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: So you not even something crazy like the nuances of
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: we're always in the game to the fourth quarter and
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: somewhere in the fourth quarter, this is, this is, this
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: is this is the penalties that we've had in the
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter versus the other team. Or this is the
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: turnovers that happened the fourth quarter versus the other team,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: or this is where we don't get touchdowns and it's
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: just field goals and the other team is completing.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: For first down, a misstackle in first a miss assignment,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: like I almost have the quarterback exact.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: There's always point, they point and he's like, dang, he's right,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you know. For like for the Saints, like for some reason.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: We start off slow, but we're en hot, but we're
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: coming out of a hole second quarter.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like no, if we can get the lead. In fact,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the two games we've gotten the lead, bingo, that's our wins. Ingo.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: So it is figuring out, you know, are are we
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: a hot starting team? And came finished? Are we good
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: to the third quarter? Came finished?
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: You know? Are we arable? You know? Uh? In the beginning, and.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I think you need to go ahead and give him
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: the speech that we believe speech from back of the gap. Ye.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: When Obama came through, everybody had to believe. I was
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: still like, I was still like I was back at
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: being a Sun's fan, but I was still a part
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: of the Warriors.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, you have to we believe. I was like, yo,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: we believe. It's tough.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, you said, you got to sort of
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: take that back to the retality. Tell me about that,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: tell me like, like just it was my my lambot,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: my range er was black, my Lambo's blue, my president president.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Black, the Warriors, Warriors had that. We believe. I was
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: going crazy. What happened for you guys to take over
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that way? We people gave up on us. Mhm.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Nelly literally said he walked in the locker room and
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: he was like, man, you know, I am happy we
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: make the trade.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You know, we just finished out the season. See what
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: we got.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: But like you know, I do like the pieces that
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: we have here in the team that we have here,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: but I don't expect anything.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: We're not going to make the playoffs.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: You know, let's just figure out, you know, how we
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: can get some chemistry and see what we look like
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: head him into the season.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: He said, this preseason.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Man, he said this during the middle of the season.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I was, oh, yeah, y'all was in the in the ringer.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Y'all was in the middle of the fight.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Man. We had just come out of All Start.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: We just made the trade, and then like we were like,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: really not that good.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I get hurt.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: And so when he said that, I was like, man, well,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: I might as well just get this little surgery on
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: my knee right before All Start weekend, so at least
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I can come back and you know, we can finish
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: the last twenty twenty five games strong. And so when
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I came back, I was like, look, man, we like
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to party, we like to hang out, we like to
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: have a good time. How about we take everything how
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: cool we are here, and let's act like that on
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: the court, right, Let's take the club, right, let's take
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: this big, let's take.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: All that, and now that's who you are.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: And so we start giving each other nicknames and sticking
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: to the nicknames and persona and we were just like
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: really building that chemistry through a persona.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Like we're young.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: We were young, were small, we scrappy, but you ain't
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: gonna punk us, you know what I mean? We were
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: going to the hole. We're gonna dunk. We're gonna do
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: whatever we want to do out here, and we're gonna
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: make y'all have to figure out who's the right person
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: that's gonna beat.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Us, Right, y'all squeaked into the playoffs.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we squeaked into the We won like twenty three
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: twenty We went like twenty three and four something like
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: that to get in the.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Playoffs, and then we wound up playing Dallas.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: And you know, Dallas was a team that we were
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: we had beat before the trade, so we had Dallas
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: number for some strange reason, and the world was like nah.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Soon as soon as we saw we had Dallas. I
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: never forget. Nellie came into practice and I've never seen
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: him this alert in his life, and he was like, Yeah,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: we're gonna beat them. Don't say nothing in the media.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: This is how we're gonna beat them. Right, be humble
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: and do not be cocky. Just basically just says, if
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: all they props, were gonna beat them, and when we
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: beat them, give them props. Just keep giving props, keep
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: giving them props. And when we sat down, we knew
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: one we wanted. We wanted to play Dallas because Dallas
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: could have eliminated us by beating the Clippers and choosing
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: to play the Clippers.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: They chose to play all their starters.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: They beat the Clippers, then they sat all the starters
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: against us. So for us, we coming into the game
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: to the arena like, oh, it's cracking, dude, Like my
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: whole season about to be making break on this game.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: We got the number one team, you know what I mean,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: it's prime time, man. Let's let's let's go. Either I'm
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: gonna be put out my misery or we gonna make
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: or we if we win this game, we gotta win
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: one more to make the playoffs. And when we got
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: to the game, we saw they scratched all the dudes,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: no dirt, disrespect, no Jason Terry.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: What hey, bro, what are y'all saying? No jets jets crazy?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: They was all in street clubs. So we got pissed.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Oh man, this is how y'all gonna treat us.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Y'all get serious, y'all, y'all ain't gonna come up with
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: the whole during the game.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You know we're blowing them out.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: But during the game, every time we scored, were looking
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: over there like, man, it's like oh y'all want this,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: y'all want let us take care of this this next game, y'all.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: You know this we got and this is what y'all wanted. Dog,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: this is what y'all wanted. Y'all hell of disrespectful, you know. Yah,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: y'all held absolute chip on the shoulder hood of us
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: out our misery come, you know, yeah, with your full arsenal,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: absolutely respect me as a man like.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: We in this ring.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I don't been in games where you know, you gotta
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: win the game and make it in the playoffs, and like,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: you know, that's I think that's what your career, that's
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: what careers, how careers get made, right, And so you know,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: fortunately they did no doubt around the first around that
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: that they couldn't match up with us.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: All right, Oh Sam, I just got to college. I remember,
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: like I'm in that thing. I was like, man, it
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: goes crazy. Uh, y'all y'all beat them. Then, you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: the next round then we lost to Utah. But yeah,
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: but you had that stupid though.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: He was like it was it was one of them
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: poster joints on the big fell over there. It was
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: a moment, Oh my gosh, you you dumped over what
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: was a big dude over there care Lincoln, but no doubt.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm thinking about, Uh, what's it like, you know,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: playing in LA with the Clippers go back to the
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: crib man.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: That was crazy because Donald Staling was still an owner.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Uh that was some crazy times.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: I I was like the first time in my career
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: where I felt like.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: This is this is not the NBA. It's like the NBA.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: And then whatever the hell we doing over here was
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: like masquerading as an NBA team, And so it was
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: just it was chaos, Like it was hard to play
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: at home because you know, Mike Dunleavy, the coach, Mike
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Dunlevy called out plays every time.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Hey passable to him?
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Hey like he over there that whole drive man backseat driver,
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Hey hedmn there he got his hand.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: On the wheel. I got he got his hand on
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the wheel.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: The whole time. So it's you know, I'm a point guard,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I'm Mark. I know how to affect the game the
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: way I play. But it was for him, he was
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: really about like he wanted he wanted control, so he
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: wanted certain players to sean or he won certain players
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: to get the ball so he can go and say, well,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: you know, Baron's not doing this, but this guy is
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: doing this. But it's like, okay, he wouldn't be doing
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: that if he didn't right get the ball. So I
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: kind of struggled my first year. Then my second year,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I had a really good year with the Clippers. I
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: think it was probably one of the most underrated years
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I had. And then you know, I got traded. We
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: started the Live City. I always tell people, like, you know,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: we beat was the point guard when Love City Star started, right,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: we was throwing lobs. They din weren't even throwing lives.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: And they you know, got really good. They got really good,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: start playing basketball, kicking people ass.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: But like the Clippers, it was cool. I got a
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: chance to be home. It was it was weird and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: different cool.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Because in terms of l A, we know the effects
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: that you know, there's the Lakers, right and then little
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: bro Clippers.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like we was a little bro but we was
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: we was we wanted accepting it. When I got to
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: the Clippers, we want accepting a little bro thing.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: We was trying to beat the Lakers.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: And you know, the Clippers were always the laughing stock
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: of l A. When they when the Clippers and the
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Lakers played, and so I remember sitting in the locker
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: and I was like, man, if we can become good
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: enough to beat these dudes and stand up to these dudes,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: you know, like we can carve our space for ourselves.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: He was guarding Fisher at the time. No, Kobe would.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I used to have to guard all the top dogs.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: And you know, I'm a little dude.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Kobe on team Mac Brandon Roy in La alone, you
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: are the Clippers, you gotta guard guard Kobe? Did it
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: hit different La La? At the crib going against the
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: crib team?
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Nah?
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I mean it was fun like I always, you know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: like one thing, when it was time to play against
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: the Lakers, I was I was gonna do it my way,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, I was gonna do it
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: my way because I one just the ultimate respect for
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: like Kobe and the Lakers, and obviously growing up in
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: LA being a Laker, you always want to put on
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: when you play for the Lakers. You know, it's Baron
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Davis fans, but it's also a Laker fans. So people
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: was rooting for me that way, and we just needed
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: to be able to stand up to him. So, you know,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: if I show that I can get with Kobe or
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I'm having a good game and I'm not you know,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: like I'm not intimidated, and it would kind of start value. Yeah,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: because you know, sports is just a little bit of
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: confidence and you never know who's gonna show up to
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: be the turning point at the game. And so we
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: start actually like winning some of the games against the Lakers,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: little fights skirvishes at the end of the game, Hey facts,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, we started to like take this little
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: bro like, yeah, we're not getting punk no more, right,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: And so I think it built a fight for the Clippers,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: which then start to build a rivalry. And now the
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Clippers are, you know, have won the majority of the
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: rival games over.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: The last three or four years.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear that because I'm a Laker hater,
