  Speaker 1: That's hard.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Now, that's hard, brother, how D.C. embraced you, bro. You
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: really came and turned this city up. So I know
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: they're grateful to see you every time you pull up.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Like I said, come here as a 19-year-old kid, no
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: facial hair, no kids, no tattoo. They embraced me. They
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: act like I was from here. So it was great
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: to be here. And through the tough times of not
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: winning games early on and figuring out to learn how
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: to win and change the culture, this has always been
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: my second home.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Nah, for sure, man.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: He good at this, ain't he? He the president, you know, boss.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Locked in. Shout out to the good people at Atlanta Life, man.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You're never too early to get life insurance. Tap in. John,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you this, brother. You obviously, one
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of the first people you think about when you talk
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: about NAL conversations, right? What do you think life would
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: have been like for you coming out of high school
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: with the capabilities and opportunities they got now?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Am I getting paid in high school or waiting to college?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, you get paid.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: We know where you're going, brother.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You were top ten. You was getting paid as a junior.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: It would have been different, but I think the most
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: important thing I tell the kids with NIL is don't
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: let it change you. I mean, some of these kids
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: are getting the money and they're not working out the
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: same way they were before because you can tell if
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: they really love the game or they want the lifestyle.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: So I got the cars. I got the jewelry. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: got the clothes. I'm not working out the same way.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: So I think me, if I was in college, I
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: probably would have got it. If they say Cooper got 20,
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: I would have got 30. Because I had to dance
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: and I had a song.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: So you got to add that into it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot about the song.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Cooper got 20 million?
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: They say all together, like with New Balance and all
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: the stuff he got, he got 20.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Damn. That's why I would reclaim it. 30 would have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: been sweet.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: That's a good kickstart to life, though, too.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, he had Five anyway, but that's 30.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I ain't get five.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I ain't got nothing. I ain't get nothing, T.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: What are you all here telling?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: We talking about that all the time. Dang, what?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: It's over with now. You got 10? Carry the one.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: They was giving out 10.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: You got 10 what?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I got 10. See, but they ain't.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Talking about that 10. They ain't break y'all off. These
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: horror stories that he tell, he for sure didn't.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Have no 10. 10K. That's it, 10,000. I was in
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the bed though. Now, listen, man, we always talk about you, period,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: because we rock with you heavy, but especially like that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: high school mixtape era. Where do you rank yourself as
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: far as high school mixtape? Because you definitely have one
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of the best we've ever seen in that situation, bro. One.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Number one.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be one.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: I go Akil Cartu, Austin Rivers 3. Shout out to
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: the Crime Stopper.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Was that a real school you went to?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Who?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Which one?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Akil?
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Nah, I'm talking about you in that mixtape.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Word of God Christian Academy?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Word of God Christian Academy.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: They did.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Just for Josh.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: It's a word of God in Indianapolis because of this.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: It ain't no good. I want just for me. Randy
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Pulley used to go there back in the day. But
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: I want just for me. Like Des Wells went there.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Bishop. Bishop Davis.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: All them went there.

  Speaker 1: Nah, but it was amazing. Being in North Carolina at
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the time that you was coming up.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I was at Wake Forest, and I remember them telling.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Me it was somebody that was faster and a little
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: more athletic than me, and I was like, hell no.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And then his mixtape came out. Yeah. I was like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: y'all better sign him. For sure. They was like, we
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: ain't got enough money, dog. I was like, yeah, it's true.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Man, I watched you a lot at Wake Forest. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: even came down there, I think the year you had
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: just left.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I came down there. Ishmith was down there.

• 6:37
  Speaker 4: And we would have played y'all in the tournament when
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: you was gone. No, no, no.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You didn't have to worry about that. You weren't coming back? No, no, no.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: The first time they said, Jeff Teague on the draft board.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You was gone. I didn't know where it was.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: You got that money and I was gone.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I was definitely.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Wake Forest is on your list for sure?
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: No. No, they weren't on my list.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I just went down there.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Because my homeboy JT Terrell ended up going there. So
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: he took a visit there and I went down there
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: with him. We played pick up. That's the first time
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: I seen James Johnson.

  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Please leave him alone.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: JT wore a zero. I was hot. Did he for real? Yes. Oh,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. You know what I mean? What's

  Speaker 5: Damn, they ain't retire your number nowhere. You play, cuz.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Everybody gets to wear a card, don't they?
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Let me go get that cigarette.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm the high school coach at my high school in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: my jersey. I'm retiring this year. I don't care what
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: they say. No, for sure, bro.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: You got to do it yourself.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: For sure, bro.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You earned that right. You earned that right for sure.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: How you end up at Kentucky, bro?
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Wherever Coach Kyle was going, that's where I was going.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: I remember my first time watching Derrick Rose play Oklahoma
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: in the guard.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: And I seen how he played. I was like, that's
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: the exact way I play, so why would I go
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: anywhere else? Me, I just wanted to take all the visits,
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: get all the free gear. I did that, and my
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: mom had caught an aneurysm my senior year, so I
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: almost went to NC State. That was her dream school
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: for me to go to. It was like five minutes
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: from where I grew up, and then when she got healthy,
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: she was like, just go to the best school for you.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: It was where Coach Kyle was going, so I went
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: straight to Kentucky.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Did you bring the guys on, D.C., Bledsoe?
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Well, the funny part is DeMarcus was going to go
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: to NC State with me. I had never met E. Bled.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: I met DeMarcus when I was 14 at a camp.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: We said we wanted to go to college together. And
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: then we ended up doing that. But Eve Bled came
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: on his own. John Hood, Daniel Orton, or Darnell Dawson,
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: all of them came on their own. And I remember
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: getting that, Coach Kyle, like, I know you're leaving after
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: eight months, but don't leave by yourself.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what you mean? You're like, take some people
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: with you.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: I didn't think I was going to take four guys
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: in the first round, but we ended up being the
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: first group of guys to have five guys to.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Go in the first round.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: For sure, bro.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make some noise for that. I ain't going to lie, bro.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Y'all were so special. I'm a diehard Louisville fan. That
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: was the first time in my life I ever rooted
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: for Kentucky. I was just like, hey, these young niggas
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: hoop the way I like basketball. Like, I'm rocking with them.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And y'all had a legendary game at the Garden against Kimba. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 9:00
  Speaker 1: basketball games I ever watched, boy. You going against Cartier
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and Kimba. It was electric, man.

  Speaker 6: every GM is here. I'm like, it's showtime.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: The lights is bright.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: I remember I got two fouls early in the first half,
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: so Coach Kyle sat me down.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I was mad.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: And then we scored, like, out of the last 16,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I had 15 of the points the last four minutes.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: And that was 25, and after that, it was written
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: after that.

  Speaker 1: You knew you was gone after that game?
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was over. Yeah.

  Speaker 1: A billion?
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: You and DeMarcus was out there bullshitting.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: No, we weren't. I ain't going to lie. We was
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: only two hooping.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: DeMarcus' attitude, you know I love you, bro. Your attitude was.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Horrible, bro. It was, but I'm talking about that game.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: We was cooking, but you don't even know what happened
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Y'all was killing, bro, but DeMarcus' attitude was so fast.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: You know what happened?
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you what happened. They start off in man.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: We cooking them.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Bob Huggins, I got to end when he looked at
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: me and said, we're going one through one. We're not
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: playing you in man no more. They had Debbie Ebens
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: guarding me. They didn't make a two-point basket the whole
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: first half. They hit all threes. And Joe Mazzulla had
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: his best game of his career. He hit like four threes.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: He was cooking. He cooked me that game.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Mazzulla was killing me.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Why didn't y'all make no adjustments, cuz?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Adjustments?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Adjustments. We started off 0 for 31 from three. That's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the adjustment right there. We couldn't make it three.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I'm sick of Eric Blesso still.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You go 0 for 31 from three, you can't make
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: no adjustments. Gotta figure some shit out. They lost us
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: worse than ours was. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: What was they lost? No, no, no.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Wait, was y'all's first game? What you mean first game?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I can't remember, nigga. I didn't drink since then. He
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: lost first game. How many shots you had up here?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: About four.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, listen.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: You know how Nolan was up here talking? Yeah. We
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: was the game.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: We would have beat them. We would have played Nolan
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in the final four in Indiana.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: Y'all would have beat their ass too.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had smoke for them. Nolan just left. He
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: was telling me he was the best. Yeah.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: When he talk, when he leave, I'm back talking again.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Nah, but we kind of overlooked West Virginia.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: We kind of like wanted to play Duke because Coach
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: Kyle had never got to play Coach K. So as
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: shoot around, he's like, I got, we got to win
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: this game to get to Duke because he wanted to
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: play Duke.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: And we fell short.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: So it was nothing telling you like, I'm going to
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: come back and try to win it again.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, I respect that.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Go get that money.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: They say you won.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: I knew DeMarcus wasn't coming back.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: No, they say you won.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: How can I go? You're right. You're right.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: No, DeMarcus really wanted to come back. He went out
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: to meet with Coach Kyle.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: That nigga lying.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. No, I'm dead serious. He's my roommate, bro.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: He didn't think he was going to leave.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: After one year.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: He was a top five pick.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You understand? This is my roommate.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: I'm talking to him every day. He didn't understand he
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: was going to be a top five pick. He was like, oh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: I'm not good enough.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: He didn't know what he was doing. I'm like, bro,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you dominated. You're going top five. He was a double-double
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in college. But you know, some people just don't believe
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in themselves at times.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, shout out to my boy. That's my guy, man.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I love him. Now, we always have this conversation. Shout
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: out to our guy, Mook, man. 520 Mook. He always says,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? That Kentucky squad. Mookie's where
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: he should be. They couldn't beat us.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: They couldn't beat us. They nice, though. They couldn't beat us.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: They couldn't beat y'all?

  Speaker 1: Nah.

  Speaker 5: I said that, too.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Nah, they can't beat us. I said that, too.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: They only said it because they won the championship.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Who checking me? Him. He said he was. Who?
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Freaky Mookie.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, listen. Let me tell you something. If Mookie was
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: playing like he was in high school... I'll give him that.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Mookie want to say Mookie when he got to Kentucky.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Because he had to tone it down.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, let me talk to you. Turn it down what?
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: I ain't turn it down. D.

  Speaker 4: Deron Lamb, E. Blair. I'm taking E. Blair. E. Blair
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: the dog.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Marcus is a dog.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Who?
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Deron Lamb is not a dog. He's a bug he
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: can shoot, but he ain't no dog.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: What kind of dog?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Damn backcourt.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Backcourt connection.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Well, okay. It's going up.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Talk about it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: So what kind of dog would Deron be if you
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: had to pick a dog? What kind of dog? What
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: kind of dog? He a house dog?
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: You know, like you like a little.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: French, like a little French bulldog.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: God, he was Frenchy. He aggressive, but he look quiet.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He a little shy, though.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: What was y'all going to do about Anthony Davis?
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: What he was going to do about Boog?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Hold on. Who?
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Gilly.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Gilly going to do him. But what chance y'all going
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to do with Pat?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Patrick Patterson was.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: T-Jones.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: T-Jones was nice, but you got to think Pat was
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: bully ball too, bro. That's a fact.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: He still had old boy, but he was on y'all
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: team too.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: T-Jones was nice though.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: No, T-Jones was definitely nice.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Y'all didn't have nobody for him.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Patrick Patterson.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Quiet, cuz.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: It's not quiet, bro.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Quiet.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: You think so? T.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Jones.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: He was nasty. He was wrong. T. Jones is nice
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: for sure. But you got to think, like, A.D. blocked
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of shots and catches lots. He wasn't dominating scoring.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: He didn't have to. He averaged four blocks, cuz.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I get that, but DeMarcus is going to be bullying him.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: He ain't just going for that. You think that. That's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a tough matchup, for sure.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: It ain't no cakewalk, bro.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: DeMarcus is my favorite big of all time.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: What's the big kid from Mississippi State that's blocking all
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: the shots? Bull was cooking him. He did the same
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: thing A.D.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Did.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: His blocked shots. He led a country in blocks.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the same as A.D. What? A.D.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Changed the whole game, cuz. Go watch Mississippi State.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: If you go put a kid on Mississippi State and Kentucky,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he's doing the same thing, I promise you. A.D. had
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: more blocks than the whole nation.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: That's a fact.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Go look at Mississippi State stats, I promise you.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I ain't no man. Google it on y'all podcast when
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: y'all get in on that show. That's Kentucky beat. But
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: they can't beat us.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I got y'all, though, cuz. I do got y'all. I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: just couldn't let you speak on little Mookie like that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: I thought Mookie was going to do the same thing
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: he was doing in high school because he was electric.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: He just toned it down and let everybody else do
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: their thing and try to be a true point guard.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: So Cal couldn't tone you down?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: How?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay. Respect.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Because Mookie was a bucket. We always tell Mookie he
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: should have went to Cincinnati.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: No, he should have played the way he played in
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: high school and never changed. He would have been good.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: He just toned it down.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: He should have went to Cincinnati because of respect.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I told him to follow John. Yep. He was going
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to go to Cincinnati with who?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's his brother's fault because he was following
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: your black ass.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you go to Cincinnati, and then you're not
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: getting no exposure.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: You're not on those big games.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Mook would have averaged a dub. But you wouldn't have
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: been on those big teams. Every night, you're going to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: be on CBS, ESPN, or ABC. That's real. All right,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: we got to ask about this. Be here. We know
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: about this game very well, man. Lockout season, Pro-Am, you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: pulled up to the city, man. You and Teague went
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: at it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: This is my first time meeting, bro. I said, he
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: a cool-ass dude, bro. You came to my city and
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: got to it, man, in the lockout.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And what you probably didn't know about this, Teague was
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a little motivated because of Be Here. It had nothing
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to do with you because of Shel. Shout out to
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Shelvin Mack. Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: What happened? Why I started?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: So, look, bro got drafted to the Wizards, right? I
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: was already like, damn, John, he cold. You know what
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I'm saying? So, I knew he was going to do
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: your thing. But I always told him, he used to
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: always talk shit to me. I'm like, my nigga's way
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: better than you, bro. I used to tell him shit
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: because he used to just talk so fucking much. I'm like,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you're not even like that. So we at the game, nigga,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I'm arguing with Oscar Robertson people. I'm not even paying
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: attention to him. He in the game killing, dunking his shit,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: dunking all on shells, crossing him over.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Fuck you, big nigga.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: I wasn't even paying attention, though.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: So I started to... I really was hoping that you
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: would have went at him, but it didn't go like that, bro.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Probably had like two plays.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it wasn't crazy. He went crazy in that game.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: It was good.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: It was all because of you.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: It was, bro.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about when getting drafted here and
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: being the number one pick going to D.C.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: And like.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Obviously, they called it Chocolate City when I was coming up,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and it was like a culture, it was a vibe.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, respect, my boy.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Chocolate City.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: My bad, old school.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Chocolate City. It still is Chocolate City from what I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: was told.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: And, like, getting drafted here, and, like, I got drafted
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: to Atlanta, similar kind of city, you know what I mean?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: But being drafted here, what was that moment like?
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: It was surreal.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: I think just, you know, everybody dream of making it
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: to the league, but we don't know where we're going
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: to go and get drafted.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: My dad was from Southeast DC. A lot of people
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: didn't know that.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: So being able to drive four hours from North Carolina,
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: my family could make it to every game. But like
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: I said earlier, just embracing me, knowing that I was
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: trying to figure it out with everything that just had
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: went on with the organization, handed me the keys, understanding
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: that it was a slow process. We had to learn
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: how to win. We had a lot of young guys
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: that was trying to hold new slate. And then we
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: found a way to get back to the community. That's
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: the most important thing. I think a lot of us
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: think just because we make money, we, pulled to be
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: cool and pulled to do all these things. But I
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: think just touching the people and letting them know that
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: you're normal just like them.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: That was the most important thing for me, touching the people.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: If I see people out, I always say what's up
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: to them, taking pictures and doing those things. So, yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: you know, I'm going there too when I got a
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: little older. But just doing those things, coming back, and
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: the city embracing me, we started winning.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: And it was lit after that. It was Chocolate City,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: and it was great to be outside.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: All right, man, it's Club 520. We're here to talk

  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: You put the city on your back by a landslide, bro.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: And my biggest respect about it is no matter what
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: was going on with you personally in the organization, you
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: still always held your commitment to the community.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: And I thought that was always the dope part.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Regardless of what was going on, whatever they was saying,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: putting smut on your name, you were still showing up,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: still doing what you said you did. And that's real
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: respect because we see a lot of stuff happening. Yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: make some noise for that. Absolutely.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: That's 100%, bro.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Even, like, with the Jalen Brown situation, what happened in Boston,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: he still didn't give back. We see a lot of people,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you know, say it's business at the end of the day,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: but you stayed tapped into this community, so respect for that, brother,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's just a testimony to my mom.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: She was like, it's better to be known as a
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: greater person than just a good basketball player.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: And she always, even when I.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Made it, she would be up giving out tickets and
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: doing the sales at the basketball AU tournament at 6 a.m.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: or going to TJ Maxx and Marshall's when she could
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: have been doing all other type of things. So for me,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: just giving back, that was just something I always wanted
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: to do. And I think most importantly, people, like I
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: said before, we got the money and we just give
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: stuff away. No, it's like give me your time, be present.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: So if I got something from 9 to 12, I
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: want to be there from 9 to 12 and not
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: just show up for an hour, take pictures, and leave.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: That's not being true to your fans.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Sure, bro. Sure. That's why you– Yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: That's why you're number one, bro.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: For real.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: You embrace the city like it was yours.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: You get back to the city. Atlanta?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Atlanta? Yeah.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: He give back.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: It just depends on where it is. Yeah, it depends
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: on where it is.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: That one spot. Oh. Who sent that?
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: You going out there.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: That's not your spot.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I don't be in the trenches.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: You delivered?
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've delivered. No, no, hold on. I went on that. Respect.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: But we had a battle. I want to talk to
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you about this. We ain't had a pot yet. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: want to talk to you. You got hurt. We played
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: y'all in the playoffs.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Remember, you was mad at me.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: You hurt your hand. I think you might have broke
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: your hand. I broke five bones. He broke five bones
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: in your hand. I remember I was like, damn, John hurt.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't say damn. I was like, yeah, John hurt. But.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: That's crazy. That's some hey, man shit, Jay.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Nah, they trying to win the series. He being real, though.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I remember he was on the bench. He was like, yeah, yeah,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I'm coming back. I'm like, ain't no way he coming
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: back with a broke hand. I'm like, he coming back.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: He came back. I said, oh, he came back. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: he was hooping, man. Like, that looked like the play
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: with a broken hand.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Like, how did you do that?
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: Well, I was really mad because the doctors took too long.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: I finished game one when it happened.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I didn't know.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: I went to the back and I was trying to
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: take a shower. And I had like a white muffin hand.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: I couldn't wash my back. I'm like, y'all think my
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: hand broke. So they don't even go to the doctor.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: It's like three days later before the next game.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what are y'all doing?
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Like, we need to go see what's going on. So
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: I missed game two, missed game three. And then game four,
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: I tried to warm up, but I had to get
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: my hand on. I didn't know my hand. It's like
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: for three hours, I wouldn't.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Feel no pain.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: But once the game was over, it was about the reality.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: So they kind of did it on time for game five.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: And I'm mad because they tried to ISO Dennis Schroeder
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: on me. And I blocked his shot. And then they
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: dropped the rebound. I'll whoever pick it up. And make
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: the layup, y'all win game five. And then y'all come
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: back and close it out game six here. But I
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: was mad because Schroeder posted a picture. I think he
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: was next to Kent Bazemore. I'm not going to think
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: of somebody.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: And he like this.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: So when I beat them in 2017, I posted a
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: picture back.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Land on the ground like this.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I get up. For sure.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: I had to get my get back.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah. That was crazy.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: But that series was crazy. Every time we played, y'all
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: was always lit. It was always fun. I was like,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: y'all talk so... You didn't talk crazy to me, but
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: you talked crazy around me. Yeah.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Not because I.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Respected you, but everybody else I didn't respect. Or he'd
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: be like, they can't mess with me talking to the crowd.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm guarding you. Damn. What we doing, man?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: What's up? We gonna go out next year, man. What
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: we doing?
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: But he would always have great moments, like, just incredible
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: moments against us.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, this dude was so good. I'd be pissed.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And he was faster than me. And nobody ever was
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: faster than me.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: And I'm like.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: There was a few. Who?
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: Nah, I ain't. Come on, cuz.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: It was rare.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Show love. Show love, but tell the truth, too, at
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: the same time.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: All right, who was faster than me?
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Russell Westbrook fans.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he on steroids. He was fast.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, he's big.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Russell Westbrook. Derrick Rose had a quick step.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: He was different.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: He was different. But y'all had to go in the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: area of PGs. Yeah.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: You held your own, though. You was definitely top five.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: You was top five.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I don't got to talk about it. Oh, fast?
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Fast.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just talking about the league. I like it.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Nah, I want some real shit. I'll give you a
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: lot of shit. I'll give you a lot of shit.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: You was, in that point in time, bro, that's when
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the point guards was driven in the league, bro. So
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: you was in the woods for sure. Yeah, that was
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: the best position. And bro definitely held his own every night.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Nah, he wasn't ducking no smoke for sure.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Nah, hell nah. He couldn't, bro. He had to see
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: one of y'all every night.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Shout out to them.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: That's why we had an advantage, though, playing in Atlanta. Like,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: you kind of had an advantage playing in D.C.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Everybody's going to go out. Yeah. Like, I knew y'all
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: was going out in Atlanta. I was like, I used
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: to tell some of them.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, Thundercat, they going to pull up tonight. Give them two.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Set them up. Out the gate. Two for one special.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Get John right. Hospitality for sure. That one, that's on me.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: John Love, Don Julio.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Get him right. Out the gate. Oh, man, that's crazy.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. I want to ask you this, John. I
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: was a part earlier in the market to see you
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: on the full-on facade for the Zig Tag. That was
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: your signature shoe. What was that like, man? Fresh out,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you know what.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: I'm saying?
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Bullshit. Hey, I'm going to tell you one thing. It
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: was BS, but listen.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: When they come with five-year, $ 25 million at 19, you
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: signing that paper.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Out the gate. I ain't care what them Z-Techs do.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Make some noise for that guy. That's the way you
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: embrace the shoe. But that's what it boiled down to. Really,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: in reality, a lot of people don't know, Adidas had
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: bought Reebok at the time. I really was supposed to
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: go with Adidas, but they was trying to build the
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Reebok culture back.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Up kind of like A.I. had it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: And it was just a Z-Tech way with the running
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: at the time, so they put it as a basketball shoe.
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: And that's the first time I really had a serious injury.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: We was playing Dare Rosen and him, and he dribbled
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: towards me and I was playing it, Took a taxi shot,
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: and I sprained my foot.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Let's frame you. I'm like, yeah, I don't think these it.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: I don't think these going to work.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Man, they trying to have us market those. I said, cuz,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: if John Wall can't market these, what the fuck are
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: we supposed to do? For sure.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Did you keep hooping in them, though? For like another year.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: But I went to lower. I made like a mid-shoe.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: That was a high-top shoe. I was about to go boxing.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Damn. Damn.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, because them was weak.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Z-Tag used to be like this. We made a Z-Tag
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: like that. It was easier to run on. But the
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: first Z-Tag was like this because it was basically a
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: running shoot.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, okay, okay.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: For sure, man.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's the vibes like, man? Another number one pick
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: in the city, man. Got AJ here.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Got AD here.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make some noise. Hey, the Wizards are back. Trey
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Young here. Be here high on the Wizards this year?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I'm high on the Wizards, bro.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I think it's super high. You know what I mean?
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: I think AJ come here, all he has to do,
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: for him, it's not really the same amount of pressure
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: that I had.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Like, you got Trey Young here, who's a superstar, all-star,
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: whatever you want to call it. AD is a guy
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: that's a top 75. They have a lot of young
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: guys that's been building and trying to figure it out.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: The thing most important, they stay healthy. They definitely make
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: the playoffs.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: It just depends on how you build that chemistry and
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: commodity together because you got so many young guys that
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: are still trying to get their next contract and establish
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: themselves in the league. And that's the hard part of
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: trying to figure out how can everybody get the right shots.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: Because if you look at they starting five, all five
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: of them want 15 to 20 shots a game. So
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: somebody got to take a backseat and let somebody else
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: be the guy.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: So who is going to take that backseat?
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Alex Shaw, Keyshawn George got to take the backseat.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: My boy Trey Johnson, yeah.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Well, he's already off the bench, so he got to
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: take the backseat. You got Bilal Kulibale coming off the bench.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: I feel like Trey and AD, they already double-doubles every
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: single night. But then you got to put your number
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: one pick in there. And he's better with the basketball
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: in his hands.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: So, at times, you got to let him run pick
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: and rolls and put Trey Young on the wing and
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: let him be a knockdown catcher.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Shoot shooter. That's what Real Anderson was saying he was. Yeah.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: He cooked that one up.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: That's my rookie of the year, bro. That's my rookie
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: of the year.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: A.J. DeBensa, bro.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: The hard part about that is, and we talked about it,
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: A-Cup going to get 30 shots a game.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. But, listen, they don't base it off winning nowadays.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: They base it off numbers.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: If they base it off winning, then I could go
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: that way. But if they base it off numbers– A-cup
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: might come in average 23, 24.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: But what if A.J. is averaging 20 and they winning?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Then that's a big difference. You got to give it
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to him then if he's winning, if he's averaging 20.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Because that's what I say. I'm just saying that because
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: that's what I see for him this year.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: I think for him, he's going to have a great
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: opportunity to get out in transition run, slash, and if
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: he can make some catch-and-shoot threes, that's going to help
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: him get 20 easily.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Bobby on some hoop shit.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Did we ever see the Philadelphia 76ers looking at the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: way that they're looking right now? We thought Jalen Brown
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: was a crazy pickup in the offseason. Them niggas get brawn, too.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: The East looking crazy. I don't know what's on the rise, bro.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting. It's going to be interesting.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I think for them, it's the same thing, though.
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: Jalen Brown go from wanting to be the number one
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: in Boston, and you was fighting for that, to now,
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: is Embiid the number one?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: One? And then is Jalen Brown the two, or is
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: it Maxie the two?
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: If you coaching, though, who you tell to chill out
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: a little bit?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: If you're coaching the squad.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Embiid got to chill out. Out of the gate.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: He got to chill out.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: He's going to chill out. I got to go Maxie
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and Jalen Brown.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: Now, listen, if we have a mismatch problem, we need
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: to get an easy bucket in the half court, I'll
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: go to you. But I'm putting Bron at the point
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: guard in that situation. Let Maxie play off the ball,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: Vijay play off the rock. But you really, you can't
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: do this, but you really, for their team to be better,
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: they don't have a lot of space in with shooting.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: Maxie the only catch and shoot guy on their team.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: You should start Caldwell Pope, but you can't put BJ
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: on the bench.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: You cannot.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: But that would be better for their team if they
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: was trying to win, but you can't do that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: It look great. Yeah, it look all good.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: So what you think, since you said Embiid take a
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: back seat, what you think his stat line would be
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: for them to be successful?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: He's still going to get 20. He Embiid. He Embiid.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: He going to flop, get to the free throw line.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: So like 20 and 10?
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Nah, 20 and like eight.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: He can't jump like you. So you see him throw
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: that lob in Brooklyn, bro. He can't even catch it.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Chill, bro.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: He not going to average eight rebounds, though.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: He did. But he don't really get a lot of
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: rebounds like you think he do all the time, bro.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I got him for six this year. Six rebounds?
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: He need to retire if he getting six rebounds.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: He don't dominate with rebounds like that. He used to.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: He ain't healthy like he used to.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Who going to rebound on the team? Braun, Brandon Brown, Vijay,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: all those guys. And the problem they're going to have,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: they don't have no depth at the center position.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: That is true.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: So they might use that.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: Little injury exception to get somebody because they lost a
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: guy that was with the Knicks last year.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: They should have got Ben Simmons.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: They should have got Ben Simmons.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Hey, the real is back.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, God.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: John, I know you tapped in. Yeah. But when we
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: talk about the Kings.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: You know who the starting power forward is for the Sacramento.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Kings, right?
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: The real is back. John, man.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: The real 25.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The real is back. Oh, yeah. The crowd is
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: still here. He locked in. Yes. He the only Kings
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: fan in the world.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I don't want to ask you, man.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: My boy went from fishing to starting the league.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: That's mean. That's mean. No, cuz. What was you going
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: to say? I'm trying to get off the key.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: Your take, bro. Your prediction right now, bro. Who do
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: you think is going to win it all this year, bro?
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Spurs. Yes.
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: The greatest we ever seen. Y'all can do all that,
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: all y'all want. I just think last year, they didn't
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: have a closer. De'Aaron Fox was supposed to be their closer.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: He wasn't healthy.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: Mitch Johnson was a first-year coach, so he was scared
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: to make adjustments and call timeouts in certain situations.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: And then, Wimby didn't have a go-to move in the
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: mid-post or anything. But we knew when it got to
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: the last five minutes of a game or two minutes,
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: we know where the Knicks going. We know where he going.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean? So, I think that's where
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: they got at.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bro. Okay.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Knicks in five.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: They was getting beat every game by 15.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's quiet for that Knicks shit. Pacers back. Yeah.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: And you got a white socks hat on to my
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Pacers back. I don't like the Pacers hat. God bless you.
• 32:43

• 32:45
