- 3:32Speaker 3: I let him go first, and I can tell the one.
- 3:35Speaker 5: Thing I remember the most is that he's the most
- 3:37Speaker 5: probably my funniest, if not second funniest teammate I've ever
- 3:40Speaker 5: played with, because we played on a team where it
- 3:43Speaker 5: was a year that I think we were. We were
- 3:45Speaker 5: up and down that year, like the beginning of COVID.
- 3:47Speaker 5: COVID like it was going on. There was no such
- 3:50Speaker 5: thing as like, man, there was no such thing as
- 3:53Speaker 5: anything going on. Stands like all we could do is
- 3:57Speaker 5: freaking kicking a k walks and just vibe. Yeah, And
- 4:04Speaker 5: that's how you know the Celtics back then.
- 4:07Speaker 4: It was.
- 4:07Speaker 6: It was an interesting also, me and Jet always think
- 4:12Speaker 6: about the store.
- 4:13Speaker 5: One of the best stories I got is that I
- 4:15Speaker 5: remember I was both going to Brad and be like, hey, man,
- 4:17Speaker 5: just don't play us, because like we had me, him,
- 4:21Speaker 5: Shimmy and Peyton Pritchard and Brad was just like Kimber
- 4:25Speaker 5: just came back and Brad was trying to figure out
- 4:27Speaker 5: like what lineups, and you know, Brad wasn't the type
- 4:29Speaker 5: of person to like like ever confront nobody, trying of
- 4:32Speaker 5: like let it happen, you know, and coaches handle. So
- 4:35Speaker 5: like it got to a point where we were just
- 4:37Speaker 5: every every single thing we do, we have to look
- 4:39Speaker 5: over our shoulder. We're like, all right, just choose one.
- 4:41Speaker 5: Lets like one person go and see what happens. And
- 4:44Speaker 5: I remember me and Jet was just like, yo, just
- 4:46Speaker 5: let choose them, because.
- 4:51Speaker 4: Bro, you so young. I hate the old head with
- 4:54Speaker 4: no knees.
- 4:55Speaker 2: You we're trying to into the leag I don't sacrifice
- 5:00Speaker 2: your play off.
- 5:03Speaker 5: Here is what happened was like I had just played
- 5:05Speaker 5: that last year and we went to the playoffs, coming finals,
- 5:07Speaker 5: all this stuff in the bubble. So I came in
- 5:10Speaker 5: on some bs like I was. I was tripping that
- 5:12Speaker 5: year coming to preseason. Kind of felt like I had
- 5:15Speaker 5: established my stuff, so then I kind of had to
- 5:17Speaker 5: earn it back. So I was like, let me just
- 5:18Speaker 5: hoop and stay ready, like let me show y'all what
- 5:20Speaker 5: I got, you know, go back and forth. I was
- 5:23Speaker 5: crazy back then too, so I was wild. And Chris
- 5:26Speaker 5: and coaches out everything.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Everybody was wild. It was a bad year. It was
- 5:30Speaker 3: a bad year.
- 5:31Speaker 5: So like I was just telling him, I was like, yo,
- 5:33Speaker 5: like just choose, let shod me play because Shamy looking
- 5:35Speaker 5: over his shoulder every shot he missed me. And like
- 5:38Speaker 5: at the time, they didn't tell me this til after,
- 5:40Speaker 5: but they were like they were trying to play shemy
- 5:42Speaker 5: so they can trade them, Like they just don't they
- 5:45Speaker 5: communicate that type of stuff, Like the thing came from us.
- 5:48Speaker 5: We were like, yo, like it's killing us all. And
- 5:50Speaker 5: then you had your bar on the bench.
- 5:52Speaker 6: It was like, hey, just bage your time, young fellas.
- 5:55Speaker 6: By the time, it was.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Crazy man, heal order story. Man, Let's get to yours though. Man,
- 6:01Speaker 1: obviously from Texas, move to Carolina. Excuse me, North Carolina?
- 6:05Speaker 1: What's the light? Playing for the Hornets? Man?
- 6:07Speaker 3: And growing up as a Carolina kid.
- 6:09Speaker 5: It's great because I grew up like I'm from Charlotte too.
- 6:11Speaker 5: Like it's like I grew up watching Kywalk and the.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Bobcats and d J Augustine and jer Anderson, Cory mcghetty,
- 6:20Speaker 1: Tory's Jersey's Nasty.
- 6:22Speaker 6: Seven seven Wins.
- 6:24Speaker 5: So like I got friends, like we remember bringing back
- 6:27Speaker 5: the buzz back in what was it twenty sixteen when
- 6:29Speaker 5: the Hornets even came back.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's cool to.
- 6:32Speaker 5: Be on the roster and like impact winning to a
- 6:34Speaker 5: point where like you got a chance to want to
- 6:36Speaker 5: make the playoffs, to be on a team that, like Sean,
- 6:40Speaker 5: ain't never seen the type of success that we've had yet,
- 6:44Speaker 5: like we, I think, other than nineteen ninety eight, and
- 6:47Speaker 5: that's before any of us.
- 6:48Speaker 6: When I was born.
- 6:49Speaker 5: So damn, yeah, make your niggas feel old, but facts then, So, yeah,
- 7:01Speaker 5: we got nine nine winning, nine game winning streak, like
- 7:04Speaker 5: winning the most games on the road. So every friend
- 7:06Speaker 5: that I know growing up in the city is like, yo,
- 7:07Speaker 5: they're hype. Yeah, we got more fans in the arena
- 7:10Speaker 5: than I think I've seen growing up. So there's a
- 7:12Speaker 5: place to be around right now. It's a gold mine waiting.
- 7:15Speaker 6: To be struck. I always said in Charlotte.
- 7:16Speaker 5: So it said that two years ago, even when I
- 7:18Speaker 5: was talking crap to d White, trying to tell him
- 7:20Speaker 5: he was making the playoffs two years ago.
- 7:23Speaker 6: Just saying it happened, yeah, but but now we got
- 7:26Speaker 6: actual chance.
- 7:26Speaker 2: So y'all doing really good, bro, don't really believe in y'all,
- 7:29Speaker 2: but me and DJ are always at BRO. How do
- 7:34Speaker 2: you feel about like LaMelo not making the all story, Bro,
- 7:37Speaker 2: I'm a.
- 7:37Speaker 5: Little sick just because, like his stats might not show it,
- 7:40Speaker 5: just because you know it's in the like, like I
- 7:42Speaker 5: feel like he's not making like all the shots right
- 7:45Speaker 5: now to the point where like his stats are like
- 7:46Speaker 5: forty from three something like that. But like our offense
- 7:49Speaker 5: runs through and with him, like we see our on
- 7:51Speaker 5: off numbers with him in the court, he impacts are
- 7:54Speaker 5: winning to a level that you know, it's hard to
- 7:56Speaker 5: hard to compare anyone across the league, like in terms
- 7:59Speaker 5: of playmaking, Like he's guy that sets up our entire roster,
- 8:02Speaker 5: like Brandon thinks are leading score right now for a reason.
- 8:05Speaker 5: Uh Con is able to get the shots. He's able
- 8:06Speaker 5: to because like Mellow creates that gravity getting downhill, kicking
- 8:10Speaker 5: out shooters and we just played fast man like shoot
- 8:12Speaker 5: a lot of threes and Mellow honestly deserve I think
- 8:15Speaker 5: that all start not because they put it's just the
- 8:17Speaker 5: format this year man the US world like they could
- 8:20Speaker 5: do it.
- 8:21Speaker 4: I love that you might get a job when you do.
- 8:26Speaker 3: More upset than.
- 8:30Speaker 5: Especially with how we were playing towards the All Star break, like,
- 8:32Speaker 5: I know we didn't start great, like we were four
- 8:34Speaker 5: or fourteen, but we were injured.
- 8:36Speaker 6: Like there's a lot of things going on.
- 8:37Speaker 5: Like once we got a healthy roster, you start seeing
- 8:40Speaker 5: the success of our team and like, yeah, that was
- 8:42Speaker 5: so well put together.
- 8:43Speaker 6: Honestly by JP did.
- 8:45Speaker 3: A great Peterson Yeah, yeah, got.
- 8:47Speaker 5: The job of you know, building the building a group
- 8:49Speaker 5: around one another. So I think Dip had a great
- 8:52Speaker 5: job of like making that all start nine. I think
- 8:54Speaker 5: next year we don't have two maybe three All Stars,
- 8:56Speaker 5: depending on how we start the season.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Especially with came on like game Busters. Bro he nice
- 9:03Speaker 1: Jeff look and we think, but Jeff.
- 9:04Speaker 3: I think he's Rookie of the Year. It's my vote.
- 9:06Speaker 3: All this saying from the.
- 9:07Speaker 6: Beginning of the league is going to be in the
- 9:08Speaker 6: co Rookie of the Year.
- 9:09Speaker 3: I hope so he deserves.
- 9:10Speaker 6: It's gonna be and uh Grant Hill type, you know.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Like, yeah, they think it's gonna be. I think though,
- 9:16Speaker 1: you think it's gonna Bro think Hooper gon win Way like.
- 9:20Speaker 5: He's bro he is damn near a fifty forty ninety season,
- 9:22Speaker 5: crazy but one of the efficient, most efficient rookie season.
- 9:25Speaker 5: I think NBA history already broke the single season rookie record.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Yeah, he's crazy like fast two hundred three or sorry,
- 9:31Speaker 1: maybe hasn't broken it, He's about to break it. And
- 9:33Speaker 1: then fastest rookie to two hundred three, fast player to
- 9:35Speaker 1: two hundred threes exactly. It's just it's in Washington, played
- 9:39Speaker 1: basketball like there's not many guys that.
- 9:41Speaker 5: You play with your like, yo, every shot you feel
- 9:44Speaker 5: is going in, Like he's on that level already.
- 9:46Speaker 3: He's little kid.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And it's funny because that draft last year, they questioned
- 9:50Speaker 1: the VJ pick. They kind of was just like maybe
- 9:52Speaker 1: a little bit hot, but both of them players have
- 9:54Speaker 1: showed that nah they ready to hoop for sure?
- 9:56Speaker 3: You super well, yeah, that's one of my favorite players
- 9:59Speaker 3: in the league.
- 9:59Speaker 5: May just so fishing that I had that draft day
- 10:02Speaker 5: thing when he had his workout. You know remember the
- 10:03Speaker 5: movie where it's like Vonte mc no matter what to
- 10:08Speaker 5: our assistant GM right during his workout, Vonte mac no
- 10:11Speaker 5: matter what. Because I felt like it was either between
- 10:12Speaker 5: him or VJ at that pick. Philly didn't pick just
- 10:15Speaker 5: get one of the other. I picked a good pick. No,
- 10:19Speaker 5: be here, LaMelo my top five all time already we are. Yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 5: I love them. Basketball needs a mellow ball bro players
- 10:26Speaker 5: like that, like it's a creative, creative mind, like they
- 10:29Speaker 5: play fast loose. Paulse he just uh, he just has
- 10:34Speaker 5: a he has a good feel for the game. Like
- 10:36Speaker 5: there's not many people like that see ahead like he does.
- 10:39Speaker 5: So he does a good job playing teammates in positions
- 10:41Speaker 5: to be successful. And I think he honestly compliments every
- 10:43Speaker 5: single person on the roster.
- 10:47Speaker 3: He got now, yeah, you got it all.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be texting you know, I got a little
- 10:52Speaker 2: more to show over there.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Sometimes the hell of a breakdown for sure. Great man.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Let's like you said, Carolina, y'all a you team boy?
- 11:02Speaker 1: That t C three squad.
- 11:04Speaker 3: J oh yeah, my daughter j had squiddy.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Harry Giles, we talked about him early in the morning,
- 11:09Speaker 1: so I know injuries kind of changed his stecting with
- 11:12Speaker 1: if you saw Harry girls in high school here g
- 11:16Speaker 1: ones brog.
- 11:17Speaker 6: Was the best player in the class for a reason.
- 11:18Speaker 6: He was over j T. He was Jonzo, he was
- 11:21Speaker 6: over Josh Jackson was consistous number one. But u HG.
- 11:25Speaker 5: Like if you have his knee surgeries, like it's hard
- 11:27Speaker 5: to imagine he wouldn't be a christ whatever type of
- 11:29Speaker 5: player like he was special played with and then also
- 11:33Speaker 5: like just to watch I play against him because he
- 11:34Speaker 5: played in Wesleyan back in high school, said that I
- 11:37Speaker 5: was my like I played against him and Bam, those were.
- 11:39Speaker 1: My my Matthews high school. So like playing those guys,
- 11:42Speaker 1: did you give them work?
- 11:44Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 11:44Speaker 5: Be Bam in the state championship, blet him by by twenty.
- 11:47Speaker 5: I always joke with Bam, this is where messed me up.
- 11:50Speaker 5: My rookie year, said, man, you haven't beat me much.
- 11:52Speaker 5: Beat him in Tennessee, beat him at beating him in
- 11:54Speaker 5: high school grades always called me BAM's kryptonite. And then
- 11:57Speaker 5: that rookie year playing in the bubble, I think I
- 12:00Speaker 5: think I had a record where I was like two
- 12:02Speaker 5: or three games ahead of him. And after they beat
- 12:04Speaker 5: us in the bubble for the for go to the finals,
- 12:06Speaker 5: he said, think him up now.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Shot back, got get back and saying ship nowadays too
- 12:15Speaker 1: be me even the last the last finals run too.
- 12:18Speaker 6: Damn.
- 12:19Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that, man. But now what was
- 12:22Speaker 1: that like though? Did you face any other crazy teams?
- 12:24Speaker 1: Because I had a squad and you they had a.
- 12:25Speaker 5: Crazy My gosh ro wise. I was like, honestly, I
- 12:32Speaker 5: don't think. I don't know if I started on that team.
- 12:34Speaker 5: I think I was behind Q sometimes because we had
- 12:36Speaker 5: that team was loaded.
- 12:37Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 12:38Speaker 7: Sure.
- 12:38Speaker 5: Alter Gilbert, who was the top five star point guard
- 12:40Speaker 5: at the time, he just had surgery, so he was hurt.
- 12:42Speaker 5: He's from from the A so he was nice. Josha
- 12:47Speaker 5: Kogie got jo Darnold Rogers, the five foot three, remember
- 12:52Speaker 5: four point guard.
- 12:53Speaker 6: Remember, so like they got buckets though, is he's the
- 12:56Speaker 6: reason why they.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Be Virginia So so then they hg myself, Q and
- 13:03Speaker 5: peace Jam stories.
- 13:05Speaker 6: We were playing Georgia Stars.
- 13:06Speaker 5: We only had one loss at in TI EUYBL season,
- 13:08Speaker 5: so like we were one of the most accomplished EUYBL
- 13:11Speaker 5: teams whatever else there was. We lost to Georgia Stars
- 13:14Speaker 5: by one. Nat Udoka, Wendell Carter, Bruce Brown, Jared Harper,
- 13:19Speaker 5: like a bunch of names. Peace Jam happens. We go,
- 13:22Speaker 5: We don't lose a game. We beat Mo Cann with
- 13:24Speaker 5: Jonathan Isaac, We beat each each one Tea Jonathan Isaac,
- 13:27Speaker 5: mocam of Trey and Michael Porter. Yeah, then we get
- 13:31Speaker 5: to that semi final. We played j T in the
- 13:32Speaker 5: Eagles Saint Louis. That was back before Brad bil Elite
- 13:36Speaker 5: and we were blowing them out. We were about like
- 13:39Speaker 5: twenty like damn near going to the third fourth quarter.
- 13:44Speaker 5: All of a sudden, altered gets cramps and he's driven
- 13:48Speaker 5: the bough up the court, camp past half court, fell
- 13:50Speaker 5: over like type cramps. Like he was just turned. We
- 13:52Speaker 5: turned it over I think six straight times. They get
- 13:54Speaker 5: back into the game.
- 13:56Speaker 3: M I couldn't driven.
- 13:57Speaker 4: Was coaching though, John Wayne.
- 14:00Speaker 5: Didn't want to take him out because I think I
- 14:01Speaker 5: don't know why Darnella ain't play, but like it was
- 14:04Speaker 5: just one of those games where he was like, we're
- 14:05Speaker 5: leave him out there. He like give them some pickle
- 14:07Speaker 5: juice whatever else, like try and let him hook because
- 14:09Speaker 5: we're up by so much.
- 14:11Speaker 6: Peterson, yeah, I was.
- 14:19Speaker 5: He's a five star recruit. Was in foul trouble that
- 14:23Speaker 5: game too, I remember, because I was. I think I
- 14:26Speaker 5: was either our first or second lead to score in
- 14:27Speaker 5: that game. And what's it called?
- 14:31Speaker 6: Going down? Turn it over? Turn over? Turn over, turnover?
- 14:35Speaker 5: Like they get back into the game J T J
- 14:37Speaker 5: T hoop And of course and we get to the
- 14:40Speaker 5: end of the game, I score, they come back score
- 14:44Speaker 5: come down.
- 14:45Speaker 6: Ag gets the ball his shooter.
- 14:47Speaker 5: He told him, don't shoot it until we have our
- 14:49Speaker 5: last shot because we win the game. And she goes
- 14:51Speaker 5: too soon, hits the hook, right hand hook or I
- 14:54Speaker 5: think left hand, whatever's hook. We think we about to
- 14:57Speaker 5: win the game. They call time out. I get subbed
- 14:59Speaker 5: at out. They put Ian boyd in. We're all on the bench,
- 15:03Speaker 5: elbow to elbow like we're about to win this game,
- 15:05Speaker 5: up to go to go to the final to play

- 17:07Speaker 5: we play him. He's like, the reason why I said

- 20:48Speaker 3: All the ibs. You've always been a smart one.
- 20:51Speaker 5: So it really came down to those, and then Richmond
- 20:54Speaker 5: was the only other one. Then I decided on Tennessee
- 20:57Speaker 5: because I met our strength coach Garant made of Walt.
- 21:00Speaker 5: He was like, I can change your body composition, make
- 21:03Speaker 5: you like best, give you the best chance to make
- 21:04Speaker 5: in the league. And I was like all right, like
- 21:07Speaker 5: that was my main focus. And then I told my
- 21:09Speaker 5: moms because my mom worked for NASA, she of course
- 21:12Speaker 5: black that's crazy. Yeah, black Man wont wanted me to
- 21:15Speaker 5: go to IVY leagues because she knows how the world
- 21:17Speaker 5: of board works. And so I'm telling her. I was like,
- 21:21Speaker 5: I'm going to Tennessee. She ain't talked to me like
- 21:22Speaker 5: a month and a half, two months, but then I
- 21:24Speaker 5: told her. I said, I'm a graduating in three years,
- 21:26Speaker 5: which then I'm an, if I go back for my
- 21:28Speaker 5: fourth year, I'll get my master's. Like I had this
- 21:30Speaker 5: plan that I set out and I told her, I said,
- 21:33Speaker 5: but also, I'm gonna go for the MBA.
- 21:34Speaker 1: Yeah, did what I said when three years, got my degree? Yeah,
- 21:39Speaker 1: got freaking later year twice Layer of the Year year,
- 21:43Speaker 1: two times SEC Player the Year. Like what made you
- 21:48Speaker 1: not lead the first year because you wanted to graduate?
- 21:51Speaker 6: So no, first year I wasn't.
- 21:53Speaker 5: So I was only freshman team because Malik Monk, I
- 21:56Speaker 5: think one Freshman of the Year and coach Barnes was like, hey,
- 21:59Speaker 5: like cause Barnes, if you know coach Barnes, he kind
- 22:01Speaker 5: of wants his guys to come back. And also like
- 22:03Speaker 5: he if he thinks you should go, he'll try and
- 22:05Speaker 5: tell you to go. So he said, like the reason
- 22:07Speaker 5: why you ain't with freshman year because he didn't work
- 22:08Speaker 5: hard enough. So it was the same thing, like he
- 22:10Speaker 5: didn't work hard enough. Went back that second year and
- 22:13Speaker 5: I was like all right, like my goals to get
- 22:14Speaker 5: Player of the year. And also like coach Barn's like
- 22:17Speaker 5: that's you should be. You should strive for player the year.
- 22:18Speaker 5: You should strive to be the best player in this conference.
- 22:20Speaker 5: So that whole year, though, I played with an injury.
- 22:23Speaker 5: So that whole year I had like a pureformists like
- 22:26Speaker 5: Syac nerve thing that I was dealing with that shot
- 22:28Speaker 5: down my leg. So played that whole season even after
- 22:32Speaker 5: the year was over, was dealing with it, like that
- 22:34Speaker 5: numbness of my leg, couldn't like walk sometimes. Like there
- 22:37Speaker 5: was a couple of games that season, like remember the
- 22:39Speaker 5: LSU game, I get foult in the first half, I
- 22:41Speaker 5: landed on my back, couldn't fill my leg and got
- 22:44Speaker 5: subbed out. Worked on it for full half came back
- 22:47Speaker 5: in that second half and played. So then after that season,
- 22:50Speaker 5: I was like, damn, I probably should go. But if
- 22:52Speaker 5: I go test a draft process right now and I'm
- 22:54Speaker 5: looking crazy, it was good, like you look damaged goods
- 22:57Speaker 5: and then now you have reputation. So I just stayed
- 22:59Speaker 5: in school and then went back for that third year
- 23:01Speaker 5: and then came out that third even though because Barnes
- 23:03Speaker 5: wanted to come back for the fourth.
- 23:05Speaker 1: He was well, yeah, yeah, because it was like playing
- 23:09Speaker 1: for a legendary coach like that. I know, there's a
- 23:10Speaker 1: lot of expectations from especially in the college world.
- 23:12Speaker 5: Yeah, Barnes is crazy, but he's one of the He's
- 23:17Speaker 5: cool for sure. You has any player that played for
- 23:19Speaker 5: Barnes k like especially like PJ KD, any of those guys,
- 23:22Speaker 5: they'll tell you like I got saved Barnes, like Barnes
- 23:25Speaker 5: was like not cursing like he I got, like always
- 23:28Speaker 5: taking my biggest accomplishment for Barnes and making him curse
- 23:31Speaker 5: twice at me. But like he was completely different, like
- 23:35Speaker 5: he was crazy, Like he made me like I remember
- 23:36Speaker 5: just multiple times on crying tears, workouts like running, he
- 23:40Speaker 5: make you mid over practice, go versus climber three times,
- 23:43Speaker 5: come back in practice every time you mess up and
- 23:45Speaker 5: go back to the versus climber, come back, run to
- 23:47Speaker 5: seventeen another seventeen eighty five, two seventeen, like he thought
- 23:52Speaker 5: it was a game. So like it was to a
- 23:55Speaker 5: point where like you had to be so mentally tough
- 23:57Speaker 5: for him, playing for him.
- 23:58Speaker 1: If not you, yeah, go, I go a lot bersa
- 24:01Speaker 1: climb in two times. I'm in the portal coach second year, bro.
- 24:04Speaker 5: That's what it was thinking about it. After my freshman
- 24:05Speaker 5: year we didn't make the we didn't make the postseason.
- 24:08Speaker 5: He had us do a basket track season. We didn't
- 24:10Speaker 5: touch a basketball spring.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Dang all.
- 24:12Speaker 6: We would wake up, come down the hill and we'd run.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Was it like that when you went to college? Like
- 24:18Speaker 4: when you your first summer with him?
- 24:23Speaker 6: It was bad, like you know, like I was.
- 24:26Speaker 4: I had to get your funny right.
- 24:27Speaker 5: I was in fat camp, like watch fat camp, like
- 24:29Speaker 5: legit fat camp. So we had to work out that
- 24:31Speaker 5: morning six am, come in, do a whole workout, then
- 24:34Speaker 5: go to class, come back for practice, and do a
- 24:36Speaker 5: workout post practice til I got him a certain weight.
- 24:38Speaker 5: I lost thirty pounds in my first month.
- 24:40Speaker 1: And a half being there a bunch of you when
- 24:42Speaker 1: you went to school, like two, I was like to eighty.
- 24:47Speaker 5: And I lost weight, so like I can ever come in.
- 24:50Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, I'm great. Gee, I'm probably thirteen
- 24:52Speaker 5: percent body fat.
- 24:53Speaker 6: Like I feel great.
- 24:54Speaker 5: All of a sudden I get there, it's like, nah,
- 24:56Speaker 5: you're seventeen percent body fat. Dog you about two fifty five.
- 25:00Speaker 5: End up getting the two twenty five by the end
- 25:01Speaker 5: of that summer.
- 25:02Speaker 3: Man, that's crazy.
- 25:03Speaker 4: Yeah, I ain't bad boy.
- 25:04Speaker 6: What I'm saying.
- 25:05Speaker 3: So that's the hell of a life to live.
- 25:06Speaker 5: Boy.
- 25:06Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not fun.
- 25:07Speaker 1: I'll be saying college basketball selling traumatic as shit. Listen,
- 25:13Speaker 1: this is all stuff that I can talk about now
- 25:14Speaker 1: because it's overwhet. But like even like like we.
- 25:16Speaker 5: Got to a point we had five AMS and we
- 25:19Speaker 5: had one dude breakout in the hives during the workout,
- 25:21Speaker 5: and then we had to cancel it. So it got
- 25:22Speaker 5: rid of five AMS, and that was Quake Parker, so
- 25:25Speaker 5: he passed out. We had to wake them up to
- 25:27Speaker 5: continue to work out like it was. Then lockdown happens
- 25:32Speaker 5: because five ams getaway. Lockdown was every Saturday. If you
- 25:35Speaker 5: had late the class or whatever else. It was you're

- 26:40Speaker 3: Oh yeah he was.
- 26:42Speaker 4: You was still after doing that?
- 26:44Speaker 2: Oh yeah it was. I probably had the energy after that.
- 26:48Speaker 2: I'm doing that. I've probably been ready for that all day.
- 26:51Speaker 5: We had so many times where guys being the lockout together,
- 26:53Speaker 5: lockdown together, so like eight dudes in lockdown just vibbing.
- 26:58Speaker 6: We locked up.
- 27:01Speaker 4: Ill probably be ready to hang something.
- 27:02Speaker 1: That's obviously man. I had a great career A tendency.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Now it's time for the draft. What was that process
- 27:16Speaker 1: like for you man, making that decision the family just
- 27:19Speaker 1: that summer.
- 27:19Speaker 5: Yeah, so went to the draft, said I was declaring.
- 27:22Speaker 5: Called coach Bornes from Chicago after combine. I was like, yeah,
- 27:25Speaker 5: I'm not coming back. I had like a decent conversation
- 27:29Speaker 5: and came down to the workouts. My whole thing about
- 27:32Speaker 5: the workouts was I want to chase the guys who
- 27:34Speaker 5: were projected above me. So I was like, you know what,
- 27:35Speaker 5: like Brandon Clark, like PJ Washington, like all these guys,
- 27:39Speaker 5: these names, they're considered like people are like this guy's old,
- 27:42Speaker 5: this guy's mean, while I'm saying a major's all these
- 27:44Speaker 5: guys because I was young. I remember Rick Carlisle there
- 27:48Speaker 5: my meeting with Dallas. They were like, how do it
- 27:50Speaker 5: feel being one of the older players in the class.
- 27:52Speaker 5: I said, actually, I'm like younger than every junior as sophomore,
- 27:55Speaker 5: and probably closer to younger and most freshman. He cursed everybody,
- 27:59Speaker 5: you know, Carlisle is He went crazy. But even the
- 28:03Speaker 5: draft process, I was doing the workouts, chasing those guys around,
- 28:07Speaker 5: I'm thinking, like, yo, I'm killing So I'm a I'm gonna.
- 28:10Speaker 6: Definitely go top fifteen, top twenty.
- 28:12Speaker 5: Meanwhile, I just realized I brought everybody's drafting value down
- 28:15Speaker 5: with me, Like everybody came down to my area, like
- 28:18Speaker 5: Brandon Clark was supposed to be top twenty one right
- 28:21Speaker 5: in front of me. During that process, I was like,
- 28:24Speaker 5: there's only one chance I can go on the top
- 28:26Speaker 5: like twenty, and I'd be Orlando at sixteen. And they
- 28:29Speaker 5: were like, we have between you, nikiel who went next,
- 28:32Speaker 5: and then a mystery guy. That mystery guyed being Chumki
- 28:35Speaker 5: just came off the ACL that year who was nice
- 28:40Speaker 5: at least in college, and yep, yeah yeah. And then
- 28:44Speaker 5: I was like, okay, not going to Brooklyn. One of
- 28:46Speaker 5: my worst workouts that I've had in my life. Then
- 28:48Speaker 5: I was like, okay, san Antonio, but they won't draft
- 28:50Speaker 5: me at twenty. If they draft me, it'll be at
- 28:51Speaker 5: twenty nine. So then Luca went Boston. I knew they
- 28:54Speaker 5: were trading twenty, so I was like, I'm not going there.
- 28:57Speaker 5: And then twenty one it was between either Okay see Memphis,
- 29:01Speaker 5: like they had to trade Okay, see, I would have went,
- 29:04Speaker 5: but then they traded the pick to Memphis.
- 29:06Speaker 6: They took Brandon Clark.
- 29:07Speaker 5: So I was like, all right, cool, So, like I'm
- 29:09Speaker 5: not going to Boston because I'm you know the Boston
- 29:11Speaker 5: story about my workout.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Right, no, no know, yeah, yeah, thank you Boston workout.
- 29:16Speaker 1: So I'm over here like of course, smart kid, I'm

- 29:31Speaker 5: So Tony's leading the workout. We get to this four
- 29:34Speaker 5: and four, five and five session, Tony's like at the clipboard.
- 29:37Speaker 5: He's like, yeah, like thing about to play the draw
- 29:39Speaker 5: up and he drew up the play and he had
- 29:42Speaker 5: Brandon Clark in the corner and me on a dunker.
- 29:43Speaker 5: I was like, yo, like I kind of touched the clipbo.
- 29:46Speaker 5: I was like you sure you want me and the dunker?
- 29:48Speaker 5: Like you rather have the guy with the lob threat
- 29:50Speaker 5: the dunker and me in the corner because I can
- 29:51Speaker 5: shoot it. He's like, you're right, You're right. So I
- 29:53Speaker 5: took the clipboard, raised it and then so then boom
- 29:57Speaker 5: that happens.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Play work.
- 29:59Speaker 5: I'm feeling good, you know, I'm confident next next thing
- 30:03Speaker 5: happens where the like play happens. They're like, all right, cool,
- 30:06Speaker 5: Like they're switching everything now, like like we need to play.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Tony's kind of holding the clipboard he's thinking about the play.
- 30:11Speaker 5: I'm like, I got it. He's wow, grabbing clipboard from
- 30:15Speaker 5: like drop a play thing is going to be like
- 30:17Speaker 5: this is what we gonna do. It ain't work. So
- 30:20Speaker 5: then after that, I'm like, all right, cool. I spream
- 30:22Speaker 5: anchor during the workout. Workout happens three minutes, three minutes.
- 30:28Speaker 5: Run at the end as Boston does, Danny does, and
- 30:31Speaker 5: they're like, you don't have to run, you don't have
- 30:32Speaker 5: to run.
- 30:32Speaker 6: I'm like, nah that I'm running. Ended up running.
- 30:35Speaker 5: It got in first with me and kazy Pola got
- 30:38Speaker 5: him first, and I think that's the only reason I
- 30:39Speaker 5: got drafted there because Jay afterwards he always always joked
- 30:42Speaker 5: that he cursed me out. He did and cursed me out,
- 30:43Speaker 5: but he pulled me aside. I was like, we don't
- 30:45Speaker 5: do that here, Like you don't take the clipboard out
- 30:47Speaker 5: of coach's hands. He's not heard that the years prior
- 30:49Speaker 5: Kyrie had done at the BRAD, So I was like,
- 30:52Speaker 5: oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Can't be doing that. Especially this is.
- 30:59Speaker 5: Back when I play Tennessee because Barnes. Because Barnes was
- 31:02Speaker 5: very like, like, I definitely did that a lot. I
- 31:10Speaker 5: did a couple of times at Barns, and like I
- 31:12Speaker 5: was like, comment like, if you got an idea, like
- 31:14Speaker 5: the job.
- 31:16Speaker 1: So then I did it and it didn't work. I
- 31:20Speaker 1: magic going a job interview. Hey, let me make the job.
- 31:23Speaker 6: Let me know that.
- 31:24Speaker 5: So then next thing you know, I'm like, I'm not
- 31:26Speaker 5: going to Boston. I get a text saying congratulations graduations. Congratulations.
- 31:30Speaker 5: I'm like, what they graduated me for? So I text
- 31:32Speaker 5: my agent. I'm like, yo, what's what's going on? He's
- 31:34Speaker 5: got three congratulations texts. He's like, I don't know. I'm like,
- 31:38Speaker 5: all right, So they I call him like, YO, what's
- 31:40Speaker 5: going on. He's like, I don't know. Let me call
- 31:42Speaker 5: around see what actually hold up one sect He's like, uh,
- 31:46Speaker 5: don't take my word for it, but you might be
- 31:48Speaker 5: going to Boston at twenty two. Get your phone out
- 31:50Speaker 5: just in case. So I take my phone out. I'm
- 31:52Speaker 5: at my boy's house, my best friend's house, because I
- 31:54Speaker 5: didn't get a drafted by it to the Green room,
- 31:56Speaker 5: and I was like, all right, cool, sit there. Boston
- 31:59Speaker 5: gets you after everybody goes crazy around me.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Uh.
- 32:02Speaker 5: I think it was Danny was the first one to
- 32:04Speaker 5: call me, and then Brad and then so I was
- 32:07Speaker 5: like going to Boston, which was I thought I was
- 32:09Speaker 5: going to Utah next pick and that was my thoughts,
- 32:12Speaker 5: like I thought I was going to Utah twenty three.
- 32:14Speaker 6: Then they trade to pick the God.
- 32:16Speaker 3: Yeah, that was no.
- 32:17Speaker 5: That was when Utah was nice though. That was when
- 32:19Speaker 5: they had Donovan, Mitchell had Rudy, they had.
- 32:22Speaker 3: Yeah, right, team you was Salid your rookie year in
- 32:25Speaker 3: both and had a.
- 32:26Speaker 5: Lot opportunity to play because like that year in Boston
- 32:29Speaker 5: it was me Shimmy is the really force?
- 32:32Speaker 6: And then Gordon Hayward hurt ye.
- 32:35Speaker 5: Yeah, so I played a lot even in the playoffs
- 32:38Speaker 5: Gordon came back like I was still in the rotation,
- 32:40Speaker 5: played a lot of backup five because Tice was our
- 32:43Speaker 5: theater and his freedom, uh year, I think we had
- 32:46Speaker 5: in his freedom that year. Yeah, and then but play
- 32:49Speaker 5: a lot of backup five and kind of made a
- 32:51Speaker 5: name through that that whole process.
- 32:52Speaker 6: That rookie year.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Man, you getting drafted, your honey crab as far you
- 32:55Speaker 1: were just over there kicking it. They're kicking it that you.
- 32:59Speaker 6: No, it was just it was like twelve.
- 33:00Speaker 5: It was like me and my family him, like a
- 33:03Speaker 5: couple of my boys, but like we're all just kicking
- 33:05Speaker 5: it because it was like I'd rather do it, like
- 33:07Speaker 5: I didn't want to do nothing crazy because like I'd
- 33:10Speaker 5: hate to be the guy that's sitting there, like what was.
- 33:12Speaker 3: You nervous you might drop the second round.
- 33:14Speaker 6: I wasn't nervous I'd go second round.
- 33:16Speaker 5: But I definitely didn't think I was in the top
- 33:18Speaker 5: like fifteen twenty picks.
- 33:19Speaker 6: I was like walking around and thirty like.
- 33:23Speaker 4: Yeah, the same experienced.
- 33:25Speaker 1: I remember I was supposed to get picked at seventeen
- 33:27Speaker 1: and when I ain't get picked over, yeah, I was like,
- 33:30Speaker 1: oh it's over. I'm tied to go second round.
- 33:34Speaker 5: That's how I was. Like twenty two, I was like
- 33:36Speaker 5: I'm not going to Boston. So I started looking at games.
- 33:38Speaker 5: I was like, Utah twenty three, best chance I got,
- 33:42Speaker 5: not Utah San Antonio twenty nine.
- 33:46Speaker 3: We started doing that.
- 33:47Speaker 1: You could you start you started thinking you cook. I
- 33:49Speaker 1: was like like even in my reaction, like you see me,
- 33:52Speaker 1: I'm not crying I'm not. I'm just like, damn, I'm
- 33:55Speaker 1: going to Boston. I got to Boston, I was like, so,
- 33:58Speaker 1: like why did y'all draft me? Cause I took the clipboard.
- 34:01Speaker 5: Out of Coach's hands workout, but they brushed it off
- 34:04Speaker 5: and they're like, just don't do that shit again.
- 34:08Speaker 3: Shout to Jay, that's my Guy's crazy?
- 34:10Speaker 2: What gravitated towards you when you got to Boston? Who
- 34:14Speaker 2: shows you the ropes?
- 34:15Speaker 6: Kalk Kwalk's my vet.

- 36:04Speaker 3: I forgot that make Covid ship but it was wicked.
- 36:06Speaker 5: Covid was wicked man, Like we was over here thinking
- 36:08Speaker 5: about the bubble, like bubble was insane too.
- 36:12Speaker 3: What was that was the bubble?
- 36:14Speaker 1: I got so many stories that bubble man, so so
- 36:17Speaker 1: many stories.
- 36:18Speaker 4: Don't say too much.
- 36:19Speaker 6: I can't say the wrong podcast. I can't say too
- 36:22Speaker 6: much to the pivot.
- 36:28Speaker 5: The bubble was crazy just because like you got to think,
- 36:30Speaker 5: you play a game. After a game, you can't shower,
- 36:33Speaker 5: you walk in like you walk out the locker room.
- 36:35Speaker 5: You see you just played like and mind you, there
- 36:38Speaker 5: was so much going on the bubble, and mind you,
- 36:40Speaker 5: there was nobody but dudes. Like it was to a
- 36:43Speaker 5: point where like you would like they had this one
- 36:45Speaker 5: pool where you had the shrimps, Like you have to
- 36:47Speaker 5: go get shrimps.
- 36:48Speaker 6: You go to your room. That was the best best
- 36:49Speaker 6: food you can get on the bubble.
- 36:50Speaker 5: Because you couldn't order ran from the start, you didn't
- 36:53Speaker 5: get no takeout, like I remember the one time dude
- 36:55Speaker 5: went to the edge of the bubble got suspended for
- 36:57Speaker 5: three games. Yeah, so you couldn't order until like I
- 37:00Speaker 5: think it was like fifty days.
- 37:01Speaker 1: In and they showed them meals. I had, boy, the
- 37:03Speaker 1: meals was delivering me to your room.
- 37:06Speaker 5: Now Lebron, Lebron good Bron had his own his own
- 37:09Speaker 5: room at the top Penthouse wine.
- 37:13Speaker 6: House. He had a house on the campus.
- 37:14Speaker 4: Speak for yourself.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like that.
- 37:18Speaker 1: Yeah I.
- 37:20Speaker 4: Knew about that.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Remember, Bro, were there with our superstar. Don't come across
- 37:25Speaker 3: the room for bubble.
- 37:28Speaker 4: You didn't know that.
- 37:29Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
- 37:30Speaker 5: Yeah, Bron legit like he had his own like had
- 37:32Speaker 5: their own setup like that, was taking care of everything.
- 37:35Speaker 4: Somebody leaks some ship, I said, I said, Bron, specially.
- 37:41Speaker 3: For that.
- 37:42Speaker 5: So yeah, so then next th you know, we have
- 37:44Speaker 5: that bubble experience was is insane and even just with
- 37:47Speaker 5: people like I can't put the dog out like my dog.
- 37:51Speaker 5: I can't put a guy out like that, not like
- 37:53Speaker 5: there are some people that hang out the pool waiting
- 37:55Speaker 5: for it come down, like you know, different energy. You
- 37:58Speaker 5: probably someone who was in the at the time. So
- 38:01Speaker 5: it was a different, different time.
- 38:06Speaker 4: That's a rough experience. I wasn't hooping though out in
- 38:09Speaker 4: that ship though.
- 38:11Speaker 5: Imagine you playing like you know, Battle for Atlantis. Exact
- 38:14Speaker 5: feeling is that with no fans. Okay, so like you
- 38:18Speaker 5: in an auditorium ballroom court they put those TV screens
- 38:22Speaker 5: around you. That's when it got wicked where you're like
- 38:25Speaker 5: it was jokes because you look up my pops. My
- 38:28Speaker 5: pops had a like cigarette damn near in his robe,
- 38:36Speaker 5: zoom like pop like it takes an ath, said, Pop,
- 38:38Speaker 5: you can't be doing this man like.
- 38:42Speaker 4: Chilling square.
- 38:46Speaker 1: The road.
- 38:49Speaker 3: Chilli.
- 38:49Speaker 6: I said, yeah, this is a different experience.
- 38:51Speaker 5: You got like they pumping them crowd noise with the
- 38:53Speaker 5: home arena like it wasn't real. Like I always say,
- 38:56Speaker 5: the bubble was such an experience that you have people
- 38:58Speaker 5: playing out of their minds and never played that way
- 39:00Speaker 5: before the rest of the.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Correct my soul TJ. Warren Bubbles. He was damn there.
- 39:10Speaker 5: Because because guys ain't have to deal with nothing else
- 39:12Speaker 5: was hot ball. At the same time, it was like
- 39:15Speaker 5: I ain't never seen dudes like our heroes pulling up
- 39:17Speaker 5: off one leg three on some crazy.
- 39:22Speaker 6: Murray, crazy Ray.
- 39:25Speaker 3: It had to be. It had to be better than
- 39:26Speaker 3: playing in the next year, though, I can't excel. That
- 39:29Speaker 3: was terrible. So you ain't in the big old arenas
- 39:32Speaker 3: with nobody in there.
- 39:33Speaker 5: Yeah, it was dead you bro, It was so funny.
- 39:36Speaker 5: What was that You remember that game when somebody was
- 39:39Speaker 5: talking crazy about a rough and scream that ship in
- 39:42Speaker 5: the game and you can hear everything. You heard everything.
- 39:45Speaker 6: Stop by the bench.
- 39:46Speaker 3: You can't talk to me that way. You can hear everything, bro.
- 39:51Speaker 1: Our first game we walked in the stadium about to
- 39:54Speaker 1: play Milwaukee, I'm like, how this.
- 39:55Speaker 3: Ship ain't gonna work? Yeah, I can't get hyped. Ja
- 40:01Speaker 3: t hit a game winner a good shot? Were going,
- 40:08Speaker 3: it's a hell of a shot too, man, Like, okay,
- 40:12Speaker 3: where we're going tonight?
- 40:13Speaker 5: Like the bubble was definitely better than that second year.
- 40:16Speaker 5: Can imagine, Like, and it's tough because even for me,
- 40:18Speaker 5: Like because Peyton printing. Those guys rookie so they never
- 40:20Speaker 5: experienced fans. For me, I experienced fans for the first
- 40:24Speaker 5: half of the season, then dealt with the bubble wicked,
- 40:26Speaker 5: then dealt with the next year. So it's like completely different.
- 40:29Speaker 5: Like I'm over here, like bubble times was I feel
- 40:32Speaker 5: like it was a grind. But then the next year
- 40:35Speaker 5: it felt like literally the entire season was just like
- 40:38Speaker 5: tossing to them. I didn't want to be there. That
- 40:41Speaker 5: ship was over.
- 40:42Speaker 3: Didn't nobody want to be there.
- 40:43Speaker 6: Though we had COVID, we had When was that game

- 40:58Speaker 1: I remember we had to sit one time. We had
- 41:00Speaker 1: to do the COVID test and then like malfunction and
- 41:03Speaker 1: we had to be there for like shit out there
- 41:05Speaker 1: for like fifty minutes and wait, like they start bringing
- 41:09Speaker 1: you food, Like wow, we just sit there and what's
- 41:11Speaker 1: that before you got on that ship had to pass nobody.

- 45:19Speaker 3: Know what I mean.
- 45:20Speaker 6: Yeah, So then E T never really won Jet.

- 45:30Speaker 5: like he have his head of his days where you
- 45:32Speaker 5: know he won a couple JT dominated the rest for
- 45:36Speaker 5: sure for sure. And then like the occasional times where
- 45:39Speaker 5: me and Peyton joined.
- 45:42Speaker 3: You want to play one on one?
- 45:45Speaker 5: Yeah, the type too, like they do three spots right,
- 45:48Speaker 5: and he'd be just seven. Yeah, it's like, yeah, we're done.

- 49:25Speaker 5: the next season was Knocolm Brock didn't Jeff like uh,
- 49:29Speaker 5: Derek White, Marcus Smart Court. Yeah, and then the following
- 49:33Speaker 5: year that's when they started going off.

- 49:47Speaker 5: I love to the women, Kayln, Kaylen Kaylan nice paying
- 49:51Speaker 5: different thinking about this painting so nice that a team
- 49:56Speaker 5: of j T and JB they give him the ball
- 49:57Speaker 5: sometimes at the end of the game eleven Rock.
- 50:00Speaker 1: Yeah, he's nice, Bro. I ain't never I always say
- 50:04Speaker 1: the year good. He drive the fun out that ball.
- 50:08Speaker 1: He got handles like saying the other day, Yeah, put
- 50:12Speaker 1: niggas in the blender.
- 50:13Speaker 6: You gotta play him soon and I'm pissed.
- 50:16Speaker 3: That's great. He'd be talking crazy too. He talked.
- 50:21Speaker 6: He talked like he truly like he go any pick
- 50:25Speaker 6: up session before.
- 50:26Speaker 4: I gotta meet bro.
- 50:28Speaker 3: He's definitely got like I got to meet my boy
- 50:30Speaker 3: p P for sure, peaking.
- 50:34Speaker 4: Black calling meeting the p P though, Ah, that is
- 50:39Speaker 4: that is great because I ain't there.
- 50:41Speaker 2: But see I don't call my ship that. That's probably
- 50:43Speaker 2: why I went over my head. It's the wood or
- 50:45Speaker 2: nothing but the toughest guard though in the league. That's
- 51:00Speaker 2: about you undersized, you.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Out he one through five.
- 51:04Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 51:05Speaker 5: He's always it's really niggas like Jet like short niggas
- 51:08Speaker 5: that can shoot, that can go like fast, like Peyton,
- 51:11Speaker 5: Like there's Garland Seth Curry's c mccollumns, like those guys
- 51:15Speaker 5: are the hardest one guard because I'd rather guard it's
- 51:19Speaker 5: gonna get me fucked up in the future. I'd rather
- 51:21Speaker 5: guard Kde and those type of guys because it's more
- 51:23Speaker 5: like more fun than guarded. Nigga, that's just gonna pit
- 51:27Speaker 5: pat cold cross like pass it off, cut back door,
- 51:29Speaker 5: sprint to get the ball, like yeah, it's too.
- 51:31Speaker 3: Much like relax.
- 51:33Speaker 1: I knew you was different when he was going to
- 51:34Speaker 1: Joel and be, Yeah, I'll never forget that, bro. I
- 51:38Speaker 1: was watching that game. Nah, I mean nah, he was
- 51:41Speaker 1: actually doing a good job. But be seven foot pounds great,
- 51:46Speaker 1: like he's six seven for sure?
- 51:49Speaker 4: Did you sign up for that or they put you
- 51:51Speaker 4: in that?
- 51:52Speaker 5: So like I always able to like guard bigger guys,
- 51:55Speaker 5: like even like college everything else, going to the league,
- 51:59Speaker 5: like they saw play Bam, like we're just gonna try
- 52:01Speaker 5: him and like try him like put them on, put
- 52:04Speaker 5: them on and be he does and then like I
- 52:07Speaker 5: was garden, so like I actually do better. I think
- 52:09Speaker 5: on I A would say I guard best three through five,
- 52:12Speaker 5: one in and two's like Donovan Mitchell's those guys of
- 52:15Speaker 5: the world struggle like they might not score four three
- 52:21Speaker 5: out of five, but like or sorry, four out of five,
- 52:23Speaker 5: but maybe three out of five. Other guys say two,
- 52:26Speaker 5: maybe one out of five, like even like guards dooing recently,
- 52:29Speaker 5: like guys like that, Like I feel like I feel
- 52:31Speaker 5: confident in my matchup versus like other matchups, I'm like,
- 52:34Speaker 5: I might got to got the better of me.
- 52:35Speaker 6: I'm true. I'm truthful about it for sure.
- 52:37Speaker 5: Bro Like and b even for example, like guarding him
- 52:41Speaker 5: in the playoff series, Garden Yannis like Brook Lopez, Like
- 52:46Speaker 5: those guys are like, those are the ones. I feel
- 52:48Speaker 5: like I have the most fun Guarden because they don't flop,
- 52:51Speaker 5: they play downhill and like they fight like I like fighting.
- 52:55Speaker 4: So see that bruise on the side of your head.
- 52:59Speaker 4: I say.
- 53:06Speaker 3: Club was playing in the finals against no saying that Crode.
- 53:14Speaker 5: You didn't go from fight Club asked about the Pistons
- 53:21Speaker 5: playing in the finals is cool because uh, Like it's
- 53:24Speaker 5: a different experience, like they always talk about like the
- 53:27Speaker 5: CP quote, like I want to feel this like experience again,
- 53:30Speaker 5: like type ship, like it was legit, like you that
- 53:33Speaker 5: first game you stepped on the court, I remember my
- 53:35Speaker 5: heart was beating out my chest.
- 53:36Speaker 3: Damn.
- 53:37Speaker 5: And you start playing and it's some the best environments,
- 53:42Speaker 5: whether it's like fans, the media before the game, like
- 53:45Speaker 5: it's top to bottom across from first man to fifteenth man.
- 53:49Speaker 6: I feel like you got to stay lock.
- 53:51Speaker 5: It's a it's a different experience and like to experience
- 53:53Speaker 5: it in that twenty two and two series, Like I
- 53:55Speaker 5: remember were playing those games. We we thought we wanted,
- 53:59Speaker 5: like we were too up to to one or yeah
- 54:02Speaker 5: to one, and I was like, yo, like we're going
- 54:04Speaker 5: back home, like we're home. We got to get this
- 54:06Speaker 5: next win. Game four happens Steph, Like I always say,
- 54:09Speaker 5: Steph went off. Steph is insane. Jordan Poole's he was,
- 54:13Speaker 5: he was Reasonabhyle they won that series, but Steph, that
- 54:16Speaker 5: Game four was ridiculous. Like I remember I was guarding it,
- 54:19Speaker 5: but then when I got supped, I remember washing it.
- 54:21Speaker 5: I was like, this is this is a different level
- 54:25Speaker 5: of basketball player. And he was hyped too, like he
- 54:28Speaker 5: was on a bit. He's showing a lot of emotion
- 54:30Speaker 5: and ship he was.
- 54:31Speaker 3: He was wold.
- 54:32Speaker 5: I ain't never like because Clay was cool this whole series.
- 54:34Speaker 5: He was good, but like it was really JP and
- 54:36Speaker 5: Steph that was that was carrying them throughout that entire run.
- 54:40Speaker 5: A Lotto Porter and Andrew Wiggins bro they had some
- 54:43Speaker 5: big ass game.
- 54:44Speaker 3: Auto Porter.
- 54:47Speaker 5: Got me off to this day because the final year
- 54:49Speaker 5: he got traded to the Raptors out the league, Like
- 54:52Speaker 5: it still makes me mad like he was busting.
- 54:54Speaker 1: Bro.
- 54:54Speaker 3: We always got it.
- 54:55Speaker 6: We always got some random dudes that beat us back
- 54:57Speaker 6: when I was in Boston.
- 54:58Speaker 4: Yeah that was George.
- 54:59Speaker 3: Yeah he was.
- 55:01Speaker 6: Healthy Auto he never been healthy his entire career.
- 55:03Speaker 5: And then true Honalds running on the freaking play every
- 55:06Speaker 5: game twenty minutes and be good.
- 55:08Speaker 3: He was killed, man, he was that he was that
- 55:13Speaker 3: close to being like me. Bro, he was that close
- 55:17Speaker 3: to being a champ. Bro, It's all good, but he
- 55:19Speaker 3: did get your bucks up out of here before that thought.
- 55:21Speaker 3: But it's true. I was already going.
- 55:23Speaker 1: Bro's part about it is that championship year.
- 55:27Speaker 6: I remember you played what three minutes? It was a
- 55:30Speaker 6: real factor.
- 55:37Speaker 4: Today, I want to hang ever matched up with Draymond, Yeah,
- 55:41Speaker 4: for sure.
- 55:43Speaker 5: That man only did another game again, the Pelicans was
- 55:48Speaker 5: back list trying to read out all right, that was
- 55:53Speaker 5: the even game one of the series. Me and got
- 55:55Speaker 5: into it that that series. And I always say I
- 55:58Speaker 5: got the most respect for Draymond in the world, because
- 56:01Speaker 5: I admitted to this day and I've never changed in
- 56:02Speaker 5: the stance. That was my favorite player growing up, like
- 56:04Speaker 5: because six seven before that, you know, pass it involved,
- 56:09Speaker 5: you know everything that stuff, So like I'll give him
- 56:11Speaker 5: the credit where it's due. But every time we play
- 56:13Speaker 5: against some it's smoke smoke competitive. Like I think that
- 56:18Speaker 5: he's the type of person that like talk, as you
- 56:20Speaker 5: all know, talks all the ship in the world. He
- 56:23Speaker 5: got the team to back it up, and there's a
- 56:25Speaker 5: phenomenal job of you know, make an impact on winning
- 56:28Speaker 5: where you can. So like when I was in Boston,
- 56:30Speaker 5: especially back and forth, back and forth every single time.
- 56:33Speaker 5: I think when I was the first within my first
- 56:35Speaker 5: five years, there was always altercation. Damn, there was some
- 56:38Speaker 5: level of altercation where it was like there was when
- 56:40Speaker 5: I trade to Charlotte and try to kick me in
- 56:42Speaker 5: my nuts when it was you know, when I was
- 56:44Speaker 5: in Dallas had to me like when I had in Boston,
- 56:47Speaker 5: like Russell russelled to the ground double text, Like it
- 56:51Speaker 5: was always something.
- 56:52Speaker 6: This year, I think this year was the first year
- 56:53Speaker 6: that play.
- 56:55Speaker 4: I remember, yeah, wrestled. I just never knew that child
- 56:57Speaker 4: was to like at each other.
- 56:58Speaker 6: I never.
- 57:00Speaker 5: Somebody else because like with Dre, you trying to put
- 57:02Speaker 5: your five on them, You try and put like when
- 57:04Speaker 5: we were in Boston, we put j T on them
- 57:06Speaker 5: because we were like switch it, like you put.
- 57:08Speaker 1: Me on.
- 57:10Speaker 6: Who was on that team at the time.
- 57:15Speaker 3: I won't take credit.
- 57:17Speaker 6: It was like they put me on.
- 57:22Speaker 3: Switch.
- 57:23Speaker 6: I would switch with Wini and they would never come
- 57:24Speaker 6: into ball screens.
- 57:26Speaker 1: You talk about having to see to back it up,
- 57:27Speaker 1: go ahead up. Recently Detroit Charlotte, the hell of time.
- 57:31Speaker 5: Man was like, man, I always say just watch the reactions, man, like,
- 57:36Speaker 5: because I saw it from the start, like this is
- 57:38Speaker 5: like even before this play started happening, like during and
- 57:40Speaker 5: Moose were jawing, like talking, talking, and once the much happened,
- 57:44Speaker 5: I was like, oh, like it started getting crazy. I
- 57:46Speaker 5: stood up, he packs in my hands over there, like
- 57:49Speaker 5: all right, let's see if they get it taken care of,
- 57:51Speaker 5: because I'm not about I gotta fined. My second year
- 57:54Speaker 5: in the league or third year in the league, against
- 57:56Speaker 5: the Bulls, I got suspended one game. Man, I lost
- 58:00Speaker 5: thirty thousand dollars. I was like, yeah, I ain't never
- 58:03Speaker 5: doing this again. Then this happens, right, so I'm up
- 58:07Speaker 5: here like all right, they got it situated. When I
- 58:08Speaker 5: saw Miles swing on Durham, I was like, all right,
- 58:11Speaker 5: you see me and tell me to start walking. We
- 58:14Speaker 5: start walking and Stewart ran. That's when we really start
- 58:16Speaker 5: walking and my coach pulled me back because he was like, Grant,
- 58:20Speaker 5: we need you to play.
- 58:21Speaker 6: Like you see me trying to get on the court
- 58:22Speaker 6: twice and I'm like, yo, I want to be involved.
- 58:25Speaker 3: It's fun. Don't lose no chicken, bro, That's what it was.
- 58:30Speaker 5: You can't lose that n mousd the ring. Every each
- 58:36Speaker 5: sequence was fun because you saw the first one. I
- 58:39Speaker 5: give a lot of credit during because he really could
- 58:40Speaker 5: have knocked my dog out. Like Musa, He's like, this
- 58:43Speaker 5: situation happened, tries to swing on him, holds back. They
- 58:47Speaker 5: hold him back, like we got him situated. He walks away.
- 58:49Speaker 5: We think it's done. Musa going crazy. Throw security right here.
- 58:54Speaker 5: This is when he could have.
- 58:58Speaker 3: Food and he watched it.
- 59:01Speaker 6: Man.
- 59:02Speaker 5: You can tell he can fight too, because turns he
- 59:06Speaker 5: checked held it back, so I was like, all right.
- 59:10Speaker 5: He checks the hook then keeps backing up, so I
- 59:14Speaker 5: was all right, cool. They get most situated, Miles. I
- 59:17Speaker 5: think it was just riled up.
- 59:18Speaker 3: He was talking.
- 59:19Speaker 6: He's trying to port.
- 59:20Speaker 5: His teammate Goes keeps pursuing him, trying to swing swings
- 59:24Speaker 5: on during they swing back and forth.
- 59:26Speaker 6: They miss miss missmiss so nothing happened. Seward came from
- 59:32Speaker 6: the other side of the bitch.
- 59:34Speaker 3: He good scooped him, though he since to this day, I.
- 59:38Speaker 6: Think he would have scoop him.
- 59:41Speaker 4: Over.
- 59:41Speaker 5: I don't know if either one of them know what
- 59:43Speaker 5: when they get to the ground, like you got to
- 59:44Speaker 5: think because throwing hands is different, Like he slipped it,
- 59:48Speaker 5: Scoops goes for a double leg, tries to slam on.
- 59:50Speaker 3: I forgot you was into that ship. Yeah, yeah, you know,
- 59:53Speaker 3: like getting down and he just broke down the stands
- 59:58Speaker 3: of I forgot what we're doing abouts to the fight.
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: What are you doing?
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: Crazy? At least you got point.
- 1:00:19Speaker 5: Zero zero.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: Ros point.
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: No, God, I think Miles would have slammed him. I
- 1:00:30Speaker 5: don't know what after that. There ain't no chance of
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: breaking that up. No, that's too too because on.
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: My nighbor, I said, Doug, I said, my boy been
- 1:00:38Speaker 4: in this before I took him back to the.
- 1:00:40Speaker 6: Hood, even doing boxing lessons show show.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: Yeah, they got wacked for sure. What was like, man
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: moving from Boston to Dallas?
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: What was that transition?
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: Like?
- 1:00:49Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just saying, because like signing trade, signing
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: trades always a misconception. People think signing trades is like, oh,
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: this guy got moved, versus signing trades. Basically the player
- 1:00:59Speaker 5: decided to go somewhere else and stuff like that. So
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: when I left the team, I was like, you know,
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: at the time, me and Joe were on the best
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: of terms. Now it's my dog locked in for life,
- 1:01:09Speaker 5: but at the time we were on the best of terms.
- 1:01:11Speaker 5: I was like, I'm going I'm gone either way. So
- 1:01:13Speaker 5: then I signed Dallas and I'm like, all right, cool,
- 1:01:15Speaker 5: So Devin me Luca's represent by my agency, uh, get there,
- 1:01:20Speaker 5: and Mark and those guys are like, hey, we're excited
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: to have you. We need you to be like a
- 1:01:23Speaker 5: leader on his team, hold people accountable, all this other stuff.
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: I'm like cool. So then that season happens, you know
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: how it went, and uh, like it was a great time.
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: Like I looked back to those times. I learned so
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: much about that team, like Kyrie, like all the misconceptions
- 1:01:39Speaker 5: that I had across by him at the league. I
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: was like, Yo, this is one of the best teammates
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: I've ever had, Like, and then you got like ld
- 1:01:46Speaker 5: one of the best players. I remember those conversations with
- 1:01:49Speaker 5: Et and JT's my dog.
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: J T is my dog.
- 1:01:55Speaker 6: JT is my dog.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: Don't do that, and.
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: That impacts winning more. How you determine which one is
- 1:02:03Speaker 5: a better player, that's on you to decide. The talent
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: that I saw playing with Luca is absurd.
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: He's nice.
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: What you say about J two, I missed.
- 1:02:12Speaker 6: He impact.
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: The way he impacts winning is unprecedented. He impacts the
- 1:02:18Speaker 5: game out every fast that he can defend, he can
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: like he's a playmaker. He can score, So he's a six'
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: ten wing that can do it. All that's the that's
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: the best way to describe. IT ld six Seven european
- 1:02:32Speaker 5: bucket that also controls the. Game but he like he,
- 1:02:36Speaker 5: pays like he knows how he puts people in, Position
- 1:02:39Speaker 5: Like i've never had that many open shots since playing
- 1:02:42Speaker 5: With Luca naci in my.
- 1:02:43Speaker 6: Life it's difficult at.
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: Times at the same, time like it's like you watch,
- 1:02:49Speaker 5: him you're, Amazed LIKE i always, SAY, JT i think
- 1:02:53Speaker 5: had the benefit of the doubt that like in moments like,
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: that he was amazing in, moments but also we had a,
- 1:02:58Speaker 5: really really freaking good, team so you didn't have to
- 1:03:00Speaker 5: be amazing at all.
- 1:03:01Speaker 6: Times like with L.
- 1:03:02Speaker 5: D i felt like every single Game i'd be like
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: there's something new That i'm, like holy, crap like and
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: maybe that's just how they both, play you. KNOW jt
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: is a little bit more passive also like a little
- 1:03:11Speaker 5: bit more like trusting in his. TEAMMATES ld is a
- 1:03:13Speaker 5: little more ball, dominant you, know getting to his Own
- 1:03:16Speaker 5: so what's that first practice of the training? Camp like
- 1:03:18Speaker 5: would you gotta See kyrie And luca hooping at the
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: end Of? Dame oh, No So i'll say THAT i
- 1:03:25Speaker 5: always bring it back to that family story because when
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: family came, out was Like grant got twenty six on his.
- 1:03:29Speaker 6: Head i'm like that is Cap oh.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: Yeah, YEAH i definitely got scored on about twelve like
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: definitely about twelve twelve swears.
- 1:03:39Speaker 6: Switches so like the L d LIKE i, WAS i
- 1:03:42Speaker 6: was in charge of making sure you showed up every.
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: Day so LIKE i was like always agitating, them like
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: pissing them off some way like makes and now it's
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: we practice like we practice every.
- 1:03:51Speaker 6: Day it's different than, Different like we skirmished like that.
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Was always so it was it was, smooth LIKE i
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: rocked with it, Man so it was competitive Like kai and,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: absurd But kyle with you, know pick and choose like
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: some days when you, know guys get into.
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: It that's When kyle turned. Up, yeah Ld jesus for his,
- 1:04:09Speaker 5: condition whatever he needs to do and let him rock.
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: Out so it was.
- 1:04:13Speaker 5: Fun but also that, team like you could tell that
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: team was a finals team even without like the, talent
- 1:04:19Speaker 5: like we needed one more big at the, time Like Rashaun.
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: HOLMES i think at the time WHEN i was, there
- 1:04:24Speaker 5: like we Needed gafford changed that. Team not SURE Pj
- 1:04:30Speaker 5: like it was a good trade in my, hand like
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: in terms of like similar, players but at the same,
- 1:04:34Speaker 5: time LIKE i THINK pj provides a little bit MORE
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: i like passing board than he, Does LIKE i feel
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: like he's a little more score score. Motivated so like
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: even that group like they were they were prepared to
- 1:04:45Speaker 5: go to the finals and that's why they. DID i
- 1:04:47Speaker 5: just think that made it tough at the.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: End so you were one parton who probably thought Lat
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: year like everybody, else like how the hell did that
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: Trade luca or that was probably.
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: SHOCKING i was in bed AND i was LIKE i
- 1:04:56Speaker 5: SAW i saw the. TWEET i was, like ain't no.
- 1:04:58Speaker 5: Way at the same, TIME i.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: Know because Like nicos loves a d you, know he's
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: A kobe, guy AND A d Was kobe's. Guy even
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: talking about it was really trying TO i thought it
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: was really trying to set Up yanni's going To.
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: Dallas that's what they really. Wanted they Wanted joannice and
- 1:05:15Speaker 5: A d In. DALLAS i think that was the envision.
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: Plan oh A. D.
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: Wow but were the fair, families, yes, general because that's
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: that's all he talked. About he talked about those two.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: Guys those were the.
- 1:05:28Speaker 6: Guys SO i, think like they, said remember the first
- 1:05:30Speaker 6: call they made To, looks it was A.
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: TIMBERWOLVES i think it Was, milwaukee then it Was, Timberwolves,
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: yeah yeahs.
- 1:05:38Speaker 6: Then Timberwolves looks going, After timberwolves going After so.
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: That was a year.
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: Earlier he's been this, year boy would have been, Yeah
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: dallas out of. There he'd been deep them for.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: Show. Yeah so but that was it.
- 1:05:56Speaker 5: Was it was smooth like seeing. It but then when
- 1:05:58Speaker 5: the trade, HAPPENED i was like Wealth nicoas just fed.
- 1:06:01Speaker 5: Up they were they were done with. It they were
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: done with like the like the like organizational. Control they
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: were done after. Them so they were, like we're gonna
- 1:06:08Speaker 5: move off of. Them and in my, OPINION i think
- 1:06:11Speaker 5: that was messed up because blindsided your best, player superstar
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: superstar probably top, three top two player in THE. Nba,
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: Yeah so it was like it was very shock from
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: a player perspective Because i'm, like you could have easily
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: like gone to him and be like, yo because they
- 1:06:28Speaker 5: also thought they did right by, them because, like if
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: you know l d, enough like you, know it's probably
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: three places he'd go if it Wasn't.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: Dallas, yeah and that Was.
- 1:06:36Speaker 6: That's probably one of the. Three BUT i mean he
- 1:06:39Speaker 6: did get traded to The.
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: Lakers, still like, like if you knew Your champions Of,
- 1:06:44Speaker 5: lakers you can still go to him and be like,
