- 3:37Speaker 6: the most probably my funniest, if not second funniest teammate
- 3:40Speaker 6: I've ever played with, because we played on a team
- 3:42Speaker 6: where it was a year that I think we were.
- 3:45Speaker 6: We were up and down that year, like in the
- 3:46Speaker 6: beginning to movid COVID, like it was going on. There
- 3:50Speaker 6: was no such thing as like, man, there was no
- 3:52Speaker 6: such thing as anything going on. Stands like all we
- 3:56Speaker 6: could do is freaking kicking a k walks and just vibe. Yeah,
- 4:04Speaker 6: And that's how you know the Celtics back then it was.
- 4:07Speaker 7: It was an interesting hustle. Me and Jet always think
- 4:13Speaker 7: about the story.
- 4:13Speaker 6: One of the best stories I got is that I
- 4:15Speaker 6: remember I was both going to Brad and be like, hey, man,
- 4:17Speaker 6: just don't play us, because like we had it was me, him,
- 4:21Speaker 6: Shimmy and Peyton Pritchard and Brad was just like Kimber
- 4:25Speaker 6: just came back and Brad was trying to figure out
- 4:27Speaker 6: like what lineups. You know, Brad wasn't the type of
- 4:29Speaker 6: person to like like ever confront nobody, trying to like
- 4:32Speaker 6: let it happen, you know, just coaches handled so like
- 4:35Speaker 6: it got to a point where we were just every
- 4:37Speaker 6: every single thing we do, we have to look over
- 4:39Speaker 6: our shoulder. We're like, all right, just choose one. Let's
- 4:42Speaker 6: like the one person go and see what happens. And
- 4:44Speaker 6: I remember me and Jet was just like, yo, just
- 4:46Speaker 6: let choose them, because.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Bro, you so young. I hate the old head with
- 4:54Speaker 3: no knees. You we're trying to don't sacrifice your plans off.
- 5:01Speaker 6: Of Here's what happened was like I had just played
- 5:05Speaker 6: that last year and we went to the playoffs, coping finals,
- 5:07Speaker 6: all this stuff in the bubble. So I came in
- 5:10Speaker 6: made on some bs like I was. I was tripping
- 5:12Speaker 6: that year. Coming to preseason kind of felt like I
- 5:14Speaker 6: had established so then I kind of had to earn
- 5:17Speaker 6: it back. So I was like, let me just hoop
- 5:19Speaker 6: and stay ready, like let me show y'all what I
- 5:20Speaker 6: got was, you know, go back and forth.
- 5:23Speaker 7: I was crazy back then too, So I was wild,
- 5:25Speaker 7: and coaches.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Out, every everybody was wild. Heard it was a bad year.
- 5:30Speaker 2: It was a bad year.
- 5:31Speaker 6: So like I was just telling him. I was like, yo,
- 5:33Speaker 6: like just choose, let shom me play because Simmy looking
- 5:36Speaker 6: over his shoulder every.
- 5:36Speaker 7: Shot he missed versus me.
- 5:38Speaker 6: And like at the time, they didn't tell me this
- 5:40Speaker 6: until after, but they were like they were trying to
- 5:41Speaker 6: play shemy so they could trade them. Like they just
- 5:45Speaker 6: don't they don't communicate that type of stuff, Like the
- 5:47Speaker 6: thing came from us. We were like, yo, like it's
- 5:49Speaker 6: killing us all. And then you had your Bari on
- 5:51Speaker 6: the bench talking. It was like, hey, just.
- 5:53Speaker 7: Bage your time, young fellas, bag of time.
- 5:58Speaker 4: It was crazy health order story.
- 6:00Speaker 6: Man.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Let's get to yours though. Man, obviously from Texas, move
- 6:03Speaker 2: to Carolina. Excuse me, North Carolina. What's the like playing
- 6:06Speaker 2: for the Hornets man and growing up as a Carolina kid.
- 6:09Speaker 6: It's great because I grew up like I'm from Charlotte too.
- 6:12Speaker 6: Like it's like I grew up watching Kywalk in the
- 6:14Speaker 6: Bobcast j Augustine and Anderson Tory mcgetty Tory's Jersey's Nasty.
- 6:23Speaker 7: Seven seven Wins.
- 6:24Speaker 6: So like I got friends, like we remember bringing back
- 6:27Speaker 6: the buzz back in what was it twenty sixteen when
- 6:29Speaker 6: the Hornets even came back.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Yeah, like it's cool.
- 6:32Speaker 6: To be on the roster and like impact winning to
- 6:34Speaker 6: a point where like you got a chance to one
- 6:36Speaker 6: make the playoffs, to be on a team that, like
- 6:40Speaker 6: Sean ain't never seen the type of success that we've
- 6:43Speaker 6: had yet, like we, I think, other than nineteen ninety eight,
- 6:47Speaker 6: and that's before any of us when I was born.
- 6:49Speaker 7: So damn, yeah, make your niggas feel old, but facts.
- 6:53Speaker 5: So then.
- 6:55Speaker 6: Sot out, Yeah, we got nine nine winning, nine game
- 7:03Speaker 6: winning street like we winning the most games on the road.
- 7:05Speaker 6: So every friend that I know growing up in the
- 7:07Speaker 6: city is like, yo, they're hype. Yeah, you got more
- 7:09Speaker 6: fans in the arena than I think I've seen growing up.
- 7:11Speaker 6: So the place to be around right now, it's a
- 7:14Speaker 6: gold mine waiting to be struck. I always said in Charlotte.
- 7:16Speaker 6: So it said that two years ago, even when I
- 7:18Speaker 6: was talking crap to d White, trying to tell him
- 7:21Speaker 6: he was making the playoffs two years ago.
- 7:23Speaker 7: Just saying it happened, yeh, but but now we got
- 7:26Speaker 7: actual chance.
- 7:26Speaker 5: So y'all doing really good.
- 7:28Speaker 8: Bro.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Don't really believe in y'all, But me and DJ are
- 7:30Speaker 3: always st Bro, Like, how do you feel about like
- 7:35Speaker 3: LaMelo not making the All Stary.
- 7:37Speaker 6: Bro, I'm a little sick just because like his stats
- 7:40Speaker 6: might not show it, just because you know, it's like
- 7:42Speaker 6: like I feel like he's not making like all the
- 7:44Speaker 6: shots right now to the point where like his stats
- 7:46Speaker 6: are like forty from three something like that. But like
- 7:48Speaker 6: our offense runs through and with him, like we see
- 7:51Speaker 6: our on off numbers with him in the court, he
- 7:53Speaker 6: impacts are winning to a level that you know, it's
- 7:56Speaker 6: hard to hard to compare anyone across the league, like
- 7:58Speaker 6: in terms of playmaking, like he a guy that sets
- 8:01Speaker 6: up our entire roster, like Brandon thinks our leading score
- 8:03Speaker 6: right now for a reason, uh Con is able to
- 8:05Speaker 6: get the shots. He's able to because like Mellow creates
- 8:08Speaker 6: that gravity getting downhill, kicking out shooters and we just
- 8:11Speaker 6: played fast man like shoot a lot of threes, and
- 8:14Speaker 6: Mellow honestly deserve I think that All Star not because
- 8:16Speaker 6: they put it's just the format this year man the
- 8:18Speaker 6: US world like they could do it.
- 8:21Speaker 5: I love that you might get a job.
- 8:23Speaker 6: What you do.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Yea more upset than.
- 8:30Speaker 6: Especially with how we were playing towards the All Star break, like,
- 8:32Speaker 6: I know we didn't start great like we were four
- 8:35Speaker 6: or fourteen, but we were injured, Like there's a lot
- 8:36Speaker 6: of things going on. Like once we got a healthy roster,
- 8:39Speaker 6: you start seeing the success of our team and like, yeah,
- 8:41Speaker 6: it was so well put together honestly by JP did
- 8:45Speaker 6: a great Jeff Peterson yeah, yeah, my god job of
- 8:48Speaker 6: you know, building the building a group around one another.
- 8:50Speaker 6: So I think DIP had a great job of like
- 8:53Speaker 6: making that all start nine. I think next year we
- 8:55Speaker 6: don't have to two maybe three All Stars, depending on
- 8:57Speaker 6: how we start the season.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Especially with came on like game Busters. Bro, he nice
- 9:03Speaker 2: Jeff look, and we think, but I.
- 9:05Speaker 4: Think he's Rookie of the Year.
- 9:06Speaker 2: It's my vote, all this saying from the beginning of
- 9:08Speaker 2: it is going to be in the co Rookie of
- 9:09Speaker 2: the Year I hope, so so he deserves it's gonna.
- 9:11Speaker 7: Be and uh Grant Hill type you know.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Like yeah, they think it's gonna be though, you think
- 9:17Speaker 2: the bro think Cooper going way.
- 9:20Speaker 6: Like he's bro he is damn near a fifty forty
- 9:22Speaker 6: ninety season, crazy bro one of the efficient, most efficient
- 9:24Speaker 6: rookie season. I think NBA history already broke the single
- 9:26Speaker 6: season rookie record. Yeah, he's crazy, like fastest two hundred
- 9:29Speaker 6: three or sorry, maybe hasn't broken it, be about to
- 9:32Speaker 6: break it. And then fastest rookie to two hundred three,
- 9:35Speaker 6: fastest player to two hundred threes exactly. It's just it's
- 9:38Speaker 6: in Washington, played basketball like there's not many guys that
- 9:41Speaker 6: you play with your like, yo, every shot you feel.
- 9:44Speaker 7: Is going in, Like he's on that level already, kid.
- 9:47Speaker 2: And it's funny because that draft last year, they questioned
- 9:50Speaker 2: the VJ pick. They kind of was just like maybe
- 9:52Speaker 2: a little bit hot, but both of them players have
- 9:54Speaker 2: showed that no, they ready to hoop for sure, you
- 9:56Speaker 2: super well, Yeah, it's one of my favorite players in
- 9:59Speaker 2: the league. May just so efficient that I had that
- 10:01Speaker 2: draft day thing when he had his workout. You know
- 10:03Speaker 2: remember the movie where it's like Vantem no matter what
- 10:08Speaker 2: to our assistant GM right during his workout, Vonte no
- 10:11Speaker 2: matter what. Because I felt like it was either between
- 10:12Speaker 2: him or VJ at that pick. Philly didn't pick, just
- 10:15Speaker 2: get one of the other. I picked a good pick.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Be he lamelow my top all time already we are, Yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 2: I love them. Basketball needs a mellow ball bro.
- 10:26Speaker 6: Players like that like it's a creative, creative mind like
- 10:29Speaker 6: play fast, loose pause. He just he just has a
- 10:34Speaker 6: he has a good feel for the game. Like there's
- 10:36Speaker 6: not many people like that see ahead like he does.
- 10:39Speaker 6: So he does a good job putting teammates in positions
- 10:41Speaker 6: to be successful. And I think he honestly compliments every
- 10:43Speaker 6: single person on the roster.
- 10:47Speaker 5: He got da now, yeah, you got it all.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be texting you know, I.
- 10:52Speaker 5: Got a little more to show over.
- 10:53Speaker 4: There sometimes hall of a breakdown for sure.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Gread Man, like you said, Carolina, y'all a you team boy,
- 11:03Speaker 2: that te C three squad, j oh he had my
- 11:05Speaker 2: daughter j Squidty Harey Giles. We talked about him early
- 11:09Speaker 2: in the morning, so I know, injuries kind of changed it.
- 11:12Speaker 2: If you saw Harry girls in high school here g
- 11:16Speaker 2: 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, he was over
- 11:22Speaker 6: Josh Jackson was consensus number one. But uh hg like
- 11:26Speaker 6: if you have his knee surgeries, like it's hard to
- 11:27Speaker 6: imagine he wouldn't be a Christal whatever type of player,
- 11:29Speaker 6: like he was special they played with and then also
- 11:33Speaker 6: like just to watch I played against him he played
- 11:35Speaker 6: Wesleyan back in high school, said that was my like
- 11:37Speaker 6: I played against him and Bam those were my my
- 11:39Speaker 6: Matthews high school. So like playing those guys.
- 11:42Speaker 4: Did you give them work? Yeah?
- 11:44Speaker 6: I be Bam in the state championship, blew him by
- 11:46Speaker 6: by twenty. I always joke with Bam, this where messed
- 11:49Speaker 6: me up. My rookie year, said, man, you haven't beat
- 11:52Speaker 6: me much. Beat him in Tennessee, beat him at beat him.
- 11:54Speaker 6: High school Grays always called me BAM's kryptonite. And then
- 11:57Speaker 6: that rookie year playing in the bubble, I think I
- 12:00Speaker 6: think I had a record where I was like two
- 12:02Speaker 6: or three games ahead of him. And after they be
- 12:05Speaker 6: us in the bubble for the go to the finals,
- 12:06Speaker 6: he said, I think him up now shout get back,
- 12:12Speaker 6: got get back and saying ship nowadays to beat me
- 12:16Speaker 6: even the last the last finals run too.
- 12:18Speaker 4: Damna. We're gonna talk about that man. But now, what
- 12:22Speaker 4: was that like?
- 12:22Speaker 5: Though?
- 12:22Speaker 2: Did you face any other crazy teams? Because I had
- 12:24Speaker 2: the squad and you had a crazy.
- 12:28Speaker 6: On that My gosh, ro Wise, I was like, honestly,
- 12:32Speaker 6: I don't think. I don't know if I started on
- 12:34Speaker 6: that team. I think I was behind Q like sometimes
- 12:36Speaker 6: because we had that team was loaded.
- 12:37Speaker 4: Yeah. Sure.
- 12:38Speaker 6: Walter Gilbert, who was the top five star point guard
- 12:40Speaker 6: in time, he just had thunder surgery, so he was hurt.
- 12:42Speaker 7: He's from from the A, so he was nice.
- 12:46Speaker 6: Josha Kogie got j O Darnold Rodgers, the five foot
- 12:51Speaker 6: three member four point.
- 12:52Speaker 4: Guard, so like they got buckets.
- 12:56Speaker 7: Is he's the reason why they be Virginia.
- 12:57Speaker 6: So so then HG myself, Q and peace Jam stories.
- 13:05Speaker 7: We were playing Georgia Stars.
- 13:06Speaker 6: We only had one loss at in ti EYBL season,
- 13:08Speaker 6: so like we were one of the most accomplished EUYBL
- 13:11Speaker 6: teams whatever else there was. We lost to Georgia Stars
- 13:14Speaker 6: by one. Nat Udoka, Wendell Carter, Bruce Brown, Jared Harper,
- 13:19Speaker 6: like a bunch of names. Peace Jam happens. We go,

- 13:35Speaker 6: Elite and we were blowing them out. We were about
- 13:39Speaker 6: like twenty like damn near going to the third fourth quarter,
- 13:44Speaker 6: all of a sudden, altered gets cramps and he's driven
- 13:48Speaker 6: the ball up the court, camp past half court, fell
- 13:50Speaker 6: over like type cramps, Like he was just turned We
- 13:52Speaker 6: turned it over I think six straight times. They get
- 13:54Speaker 6: back into the game.
- 13:55Speaker 4: Dam I couldn't d was coaching though, like John.
- 13:59Speaker 6: John didn't want to take him out because I think
- 14:01Speaker 6: I don't know why Darnella ain't play, But like it
- 14:04Speaker 6: was one of those games where he was like, we're
- 14:05Speaker 6: leave him out there. He like give him some pickle
- 14:07Speaker 6: juice whatever else, like try and let him hook because
- 14:09Speaker 6: we're up by so much.
- 14:11Speaker 4: Peterson, yeah right, I was like.
- 14:19Speaker 6: He's a five star recruit. Was in foul trouble that
- 14:23Speaker 6: game too, I remember because I was. I think I
- 14:26Speaker 6: was either our first or second leader to score in
- 14:28Speaker 6: that game. And what's it called?
- 14:31Speaker 5: Going down?
- 14:32Speaker 7: Turn it over? Turn over? Turn over, turnover?

- 14:40Speaker 6: end of the game, I score, they come back, score,
- 14:44Speaker 6: come down. Ag gets the ball his shoot He told him,
- 14:48Speaker 6: don't shoot it until we have our last shot.
- 14:50Speaker 7: Win the game.
- 14:51Speaker 6: And she goes too soon, hits the hook right hand
- 14:54Speaker 6: hook or I think left hand whatever's hook. We think
- 14:56Speaker 6: were about to win the game. They called time out.
- 14:59Speaker 6: I get subbed out. They put Ian Boyd in. We're
- 15:02Speaker 6: all on the bench elbow to elbow like we're about to
- 15:04Speaker 6: win this game, up to go to go to the
- 15:06Speaker 6: final and play Georgia Stars again. All of a sudden
- 15:08Speaker 6: they inbound the ball. We took j t away. I
- 15:11Speaker 6: want to forget to do his name Jordan Gilbert Jordan'
- 15:13Speaker 6: something or was a full court double clutch at the
- 15:15Speaker 6: buzzer heave game. Damn that was that story. They ended
- 15:21Speaker 6: up freaking losing by thirty the Georgia Stars. After that,

- 16:19Speaker 6: three star, like I was thinking, I was number two
- 16:22Speaker 6: hundred and something. Last Yeah it was bad.
- 16:26Speaker 4: I was.
- 16:26Speaker 6: I was chunky bro. I was you know, under sized,
- 16:30Speaker 6: big tweeter. So like this is like this is right
- 16:32Speaker 6: around when Draymond was doing his thing. But like like
- 16:35Speaker 6: I like, people are always like, how do you beat
- 16:36Speaker 6: these guys?
- 16:37Speaker 7: I was being bammed.
- 16:38Speaker 6: I was being like Harry, like all these guys that

- 16:43Speaker 6: dude can't jump, like not really a great shooter. You know,
- 16:46Speaker 6: he's post player. And so I remember even Davison, like
- 16:49Speaker 6: I remember calling coach McKillop. He said, I'm not never
- 16:51Speaker 6: gonna give you a scholarship offer. I said, why damn?
- 16:53Speaker 6: He said, because you don't work hard enough. That was
- 16:57Speaker 6: me as a sophomore's year. I was like, I can't
- 16:58Speaker 6: get off by Davidson like I had my best offer.
- 17:01Speaker 6: Was like I have that for sure. Later on, I'll
- 17:05Speaker 6: give him credit. Later on when I went to Tennessee.
- 17:07Speaker 6: We play him. He's like the reason why I said
- 17:08Speaker 6: that to you is because I needed you to work
- 17:10Speaker 6: harder and like I believed in you and we'd have the.
- 17:13Speaker 7: Resources to support you or something that. But like I
- 17:15Speaker 7: think he was so.
- 17:16Speaker 4: Just yeah, yeah, did that motivate you?
- 17:18Speaker 10: Though?
- 17:18Speaker 7: For sure he said motivated.
- 17:21Speaker 6: You know, I grew up in the family that of
- 17:23Speaker 6: hoopers quote unquote, like my cousin's slim start.

- 18:47Speaker 6: but like tried to play for the Houston Bullets and

- 19:02Speaker 6: all the Ivy.
- 19:03Speaker 4: You've always been a smart one.
- 19:05Speaker 6: So it really came down to those and then Richmond
- 19:08Speaker 6: was the only other one. And then I decided on
- 19:10Speaker 6: Tennessee because I met our strength coach Garrett maiden Wald.
- 19:14Speaker 6: He was like, I can change your body composition, make
- 19:16Speaker 6: you like the best, give you the best chance to
- 19:18Speaker 6: make in the league. And I was like all right,
- 19:20Speaker 6: Like that was my main focus. And then I sold

- 19:25Speaker 6: course black that's crazy. Yeah, black Man won her but
- 19:29Speaker 6: wanted me to go to IVY leagues because she knows

- 21:39Speaker 4: Come on, like, what made you not lead the first year?
- 21:41Speaker 4: Because you wanted to graduate?
- 21:42Speaker 6: So no, first year I wasn't so I was only
- 21:45Speaker 6: freshman team because Malik Monk, I think one freshman of
- 21:48Speaker 6: the year. And Coach Barnes was like, hey, like coach Barnes,
- 21:51Speaker 6: if you know Coach Barnes, he kind of wants his
- 21:52Speaker 6: guys to come back. Yeah, and also like he if
- 21:54Speaker 6: he thinks you should go, he'll try and tell you
- 21:56Speaker 6: to go. So he said, like the reason why you
- 21:58Speaker 6: ain't with freshman year because he didn't work hard enough. So
- 22:00Speaker 6: it was the same thing, like you didn't work hard enough.
- 22:03Speaker 6: Went back that second year and I was like, all right,
- 22:05Speaker 6: Like my goal is to get player of the Year.
- 22:07Speaker 6: And also like cause Barn's like that's you should be.
- 22:09Speaker 6: You should strive for player the year, should try to
- 22:10Speaker 6: be the best player in this conference. So that whole year, though,
- 22:13Speaker 6: I played with an injury. So that whole year I
- 22:15Speaker 6: had like a pureformoist like psyac nerve thing that I
- 22:19Speaker 6: was dealing with that shot down my leg. So played
- 22:22Speaker 6: that whole season even after the year was over, was
- 22:24Speaker 6: dealing with it, like that numbness of my leg, couldn't
- 22:27Speaker 6: like walk sometimes. Like there was a couple of games
- 22:29Speaker 6: that season, like Burner the LSU game, I get foult
- 22:32Speaker 6: in the first half, I landed on my back, couldn't
- 22:34Speaker 6: fill my leg and got subbed out, worked on it
- 22:38Speaker 6: for full half, came back in the second half and played.
- 22:40Speaker 6: So then after that season I was like, damn, I
- 22:42Speaker 6: probably should go. But if I go test a draft
- 22:44Speaker 6: process right now and I'm looking crazy, like you look
- 22:48Speaker 6: damaged goods and then now you have a reputation. So
- 22:50Speaker 6: I just stayed in school and then went back for
- 22:52Speaker 6: that third year and then came out that third even
- 22:54Speaker 6: though cause Barnes wanted to be come back for the
- 22:56Speaker 6: fourth he was, yeah, shouldn't.
- 23:00Speaker 2: It was like playing for a lgendary coach like that.
- 23:01Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of expectations from especially in
- 23:03Speaker 2: the college world.
- 23:04Speaker 6: Yeah, Barnes is crazy, but he's one of the He's
- 23:08Speaker 6: cool for sure. If you has any player to play
- 23:10Speaker 6: for Barnes k like especially like PJ KD, any of
- 23:13Speaker 6: those guys, they'll tell you like I got saved Barnes,
- 23:16Speaker 6: like Barnes was like not cursing like he I got,
- 23:19Speaker 6: like always taking my biggest accomplishment for Barnes and making
- 23:22Speaker 6: him curse twice at me. But like he was completely different,
- 23:26Speaker 6: like he was crazy, Like he made me like I
- 23:28Speaker 6: remember multip times I crying tears, workouts, like running. He
- 23:32Speaker 6: makes you mid over practice, go versus climber three times,
- 23:34Speaker 6: come back in practice every time you mess up and
- 23:36Speaker 6: go back to the versus climber. I'm back, run to seventeen,
- 23:40Speaker 6: another seventeen eighty five, two seventeen.
- 23:43Speaker 7: Like he thought it was a game.
- 23:45Speaker 6: So like it was to a point where like you
- 23:47Speaker 6: had to be so mentally tough for him, playing for him.
- 23:50Speaker 6: If not you you had to go. I got a
- 23:52Speaker 6: lot versas climbers, two times. I'm in the portal coach
- 23:54Speaker 6: second year. Bro, That's what it was. Think about it.
- 23:56Speaker 6: After my freshman year, we didn't make the we didn't
- 23:58Speaker 6: make the postseason. He just do a basket track season.
- 24:01Speaker 6: We touch a basketball spring.
- 24:03Speaker 5: Dang all.
- 24:04Speaker 7: We would wake up, come down the hill, and we'd run.
- 24:07Speaker 5: Was it life that when you went to college? But
- 24:09Speaker 5: when you your first summer.
- 24:11Speaker 6: With him, it was bad, Like you know, like I
- 24:16Speaker 6: was a again.
- 24:17Speaker 5: I had to get your buddy right.
- 24:18Speaker 7: I was in fat camp.
- 24:19Speaker 4: What's for that camp?
- 24:20Speaker 7: Like legit fat camp?
- 24:21Speaker 6: So we had to work out that morning six am,
- 24:24Speaker 6: come in, do a whole workout, then go class, come
- 24:27Speaker 6: back for practice, and do a workout post practice.
- 24:29Speaker 7: So I got a certain weight. I lost thirty pounds
- 24:31Speaker 7: in my first month and a half being there.
- 24:32Speaker 6: Damn you when you went to school like too, I
- 24:35Speaker 6: was like to eighty to sick and I lost weight,
- 24:40Speaker 6: so like I can ever come in. I was like, yeah,
- 24:42Speaker 6: I'm great. G I'm probably thirteen percent body fat. Like
- 24:44Speaker 6: I feel great. All of a sudden I get there,
- 24:47Speaker 6: It's like, nah, you seventeen percent body fat? Dog, you
- 24:50Speaker 6: about two fifty five. I ended up getting the two
- 24:52Speaker 6: twenty five by the end of that summer.
- 24:53Speaker 4: Damn, that's crazy.
- 24:54Speaker 5: Yeah, I ain't bad, boy.
- 24:56Speaker 4: I'm saying so, that's a hell of a life to live.
- 24:58Speaker 2: Boy, it's not fun saying college back about sauyding traumatic
- 25:01Speaker 2: as ship.
- 25:04Speaker 6: Listen, this is all stuff that I can talk about
- 25:06Speaker 6: now because it's overweight. But like even like like we
- 25:08Speaker 6: got to a point we had five AMS and we
- 25:10Speaker 6: had one dude breakout in the hives during the workout
- 25:12Speaker 6: and then we had to cancel it. So he got
- 25:14Speaker 6: rid of five AMS, and that was Kuaate Parker, so
- 25:17Speaker 6: he passed out. We had to wake them up to
- 25:18Speaker 6: continue his work out.
- 25:19Speaker 5: Like it was.
- 25:21Speaker 6: Then lockdown happens because five AMS get away. Lockdown was
- 25:25Speaker 6: every Saturday. If you had late the class or whatever
- 25:28Speaker 6: else it was, you're in trouble six am to ten pm.
- 25:30Speaker 6: You had to be in the gym, no devices, So
- 25:34Speaker 6: you was there working out.
- 25:35Speaker 7: You have five workouts? You really are just there reading.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Like you got did you say at the time, right, yeah,
- 25:40Speaker 3: you say six A.
- 25:41Speaker 6: The ten pm come out on a Saturday portal.
- 25:49Speaker 4: He can't do that. No more.
- 25:53Speaker 7: Snitch somebody snitch. That got all away and we back
- 25:55Speaker 7: five am.
- 25:56Speaker 5: We had.
- 25:57Speaker 7: It was some wild times. But I always tell these
- 25:59Speaker 7: guys it was you got different.
- 26:03Speaker 5: The big boy.
- 26:03Speaker 4: He gotta working for.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Bro.
- 26:08Speaker 7: No devices, no phone, no iPad, no laptop.
- 26:11Speaker 4: No, I hate it here.
- 26:14Speaker 3: That much working out the mother figure like always playing
- 26:20Speaker 3: was though, amro Schofield like like, yeah, now that was
- 26:26Speaker 3: real bookmaking my saraday up like that.
- 26:30Speaker 7: Ain't no such thing as going out that night. Oh no,
- 26:33Speaker 7: yeah he was.
- 26:34Speaker 3: He was still after doing that. It was I probably
- 26:37Speaker 3: had an energy after that for the time doing that.
- 26:40Speaker 3: I've probably been ready for that.
- 26:41Speaker 4: I've been all day.
- 26:42Speaker 6: I'm ready so many times when guys being the lockout together,
- 26:45Speaker 6: lockdown together, so it like eight dudes in lockdown just vibbing.
- 26:49Speaker 7: We locked up.
- 26:52Speaker 4: I probably be ready to hang something that's work out
- 26:59Speaker 4: through nas. Obviously man had a great career, Tendensee. Now
- 27:06Speaker 4: it's time for the draft.
- 27:07Speaker 2: What was that process like for you man, making that
- 27:09Speaker 2: decision the family just that summer.
- 27:11Speaker 6: Yeah, so went to the draft, said I was declaring.
- 27:14Speaker 6: Called coach Bornes from Chicago after combine, I was like, yeah,
- 27:16Speaker 6: I'm not coming back. I had like a decent conversation
- 27:21Speaker 6: and came down to the workouts. My whole thing about
- 27:23Speaker 6: the workhouse was I want to chase the guys who
- 27:25Speaker 6: were projected above me. So I was like, you know what,
- 27:27Speaker 6: like Brandon Clark, like PJ Washington, like all these guys,
- 27:31Speaker 6: these names, they're considered like people are like this guy's old,
- 27:34Speaker 6: this guy's Meanwhile, I'm saying, age's all these guys because
- 27:36Speaker 6: I was young.
- 27:37Speaker 7: I remember Rick.
- 27:38Speaker 6: Carlisle during whenever my meeting with Dallas. They were like,
- 27:41Speaker 6: how do I feel being one of the older players
- 27:42Speaker 6: in the class. I said, actually, I'm like younger than
- 27:46Speaker 6: every junior and sophomore and probably closer to you the
- 27:48Speaker 6: most freshman. He cursed everybody else. You know, Carlisle is
- 27:52Speaker 6: he went crazy. But even the draft process, I was
- 27:57Speaker 6: doing the workouts, chasing those guys around, I'm thinking, like, yo,
- 27:59Speaker 6: I'm killing so I'm gonna definitely go top fifteen top twenty. Meanwhile,
- 28:04Speaker 6: I just realized I brought everybody's drafting value down with me,
- 28:07Speaker 6: Like everybody came down to my area, like Brandon Clark
- 28:10Speaker 6: was supposed to be top right in front of me.
- 28:14Speaker 5: Damn.
- 28:15Speaker 6: During that process, I was like, there's only one chance
- 28:17Speaker 6: I can go on the top like twenty, and I'd
- 28:18Speaker 6: be Orlando at sixteen. And they were like, we have
- 28:22Speaker 6: between you, nikiel who went next? And then a mystery guy.
- 28:25Speaker 6: That mystery guy in being Trumki just came out to
- 28:27Speaker 6: acl that year, who was nice at least in college,
- 28:33Speaker 6: and yep, yeah yeah. And then I was like, okay,
- 28:36Speaker 6: not going to Brooklyn. One of my worst workouts that
- 28:38Speaker 6: I've had in my life. Then I was like, okay,
- 28:40Speaker 6: San Antonio, but they won't draft me at twenty. If
- 28:42Speaker 6: they draft me, it'll be at twenty nine. So then
- 28:44Speaker 6: Luca went Boston. I knew they were trading twenty, so
- 28:47Speaker 6: I was like, I'm not going there. And then twenty
- 28:49Speaker 6: one it was between either Oka See Memphis, like they
- 28:53Speaker 6: had to trade, Okay, See, I would have went, but
- 28:56Speaker 6: then they traded to pick to Memphis, they took Brandon Clark,
- 28:59Speaker 6: so I was like all right.
- 29:00Speaker 7: Cool.
- 29:00Speaker 6: So like I'm not going to Boston because I'm you
- 29:02Speaker 6: know the Boston story about my workout.
- 29:04Speaker 4: Right, No, no, yeah, yeah, thank.
- 29:06Speaker 7: You Boston workout.
- 29:08Speaker 6: So I'm over here like of course, smart kid, I'm
- 29:11Speaker 6: in the workout air Pascal, me, Brandon Clark and we're
- 29:14Speaker 6: over here. Jay larreyneas the coach.
- 29:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 29:18Speaker 6: Jay. Tony Dobbins was a video coordinator at the time. Yeah, okay,
- 29:22Speaker 6: So Tony's leading the workout. We get to this four
- 29:26Speaker 6: and four, five and five session. Tony's like at the clipboard.
- 29:29Speaker 6: He's like, yeah, like tink thing about to play the
- 29:31Speaker 6: draw up and he drew up the play and he
- 29:33Speaker 6: had Brandon Clark in the corner and me on a dunker.
- 29:35Speaker 6: I was like, yo, like I kind of touched the clipbo.
- 29:37Speaker 6: I was like you sure you want me and the dunker?
- 29:39Speaker 6: Like you rather have the guy with the lob threat
- 29:41Speaker 6: the dunker and me in the corner because I can
- 29:43Speaker 6: shoot it. He's like, you're right, You're right. So I
- 29:45Speaker 6: took the clipboard, raised it and then he wow. So
- 29:48Speaker 6: then boom that happens.
- 29:50Speaker 4: Play work.
- 29:51Speaker 6: I'm feeling good, you know, I'm confident. Next next thing
- 29:54Speaker 6: happens where the like play happens. They're like, all right, cool,
- 29:57Speaker 6: like they're switching everything now, like like we need a
- 30:00Speaker 6: Tony's kind of holding the clipboard he's thinking about the play.
- 30:02Speaker 6: I'm like, I got it, grabbing a clipboard from him.
- 30:04Speaker 6: He's wow, grabbing clipboard from like drop a play thing
- 30:07Speaker 6: is gonna be like this is what we gonna do.
- 30:09Speaker 7: It ain't work.
- 30:10Speaker 6: So then after that, I'm like, all right, cool, I'll
- 30:13Speaker 6: spram my ankle during the workout.
- 30:17Speaker 7: Workout happens three minutes, three minutes.
- 30:20Speaker 6: Run at the end as Boston does, Danny does, and
- 30:22Speaker 6: they're like, you don't have to run, you don't have
- 30:23Speaker 6: to run.
- 30:24Speaker 7: I'm like that, I'm running. Ended up running.
- 30:26Speaker 6: It got in first with me and kazy Pola got
- 30:29Speaker 6: him first, and I think that's the only reason I
- 30:31Speaker 6: got drafted there because Jay afterwards, he always always joked
- 30:33Speaker 6: that he cursed me out. He did and cursed me out,
- 30:35Speaker 6: but he pulled me aside. I was like, we don't
- 30:36Speaker 6: do that here, Like you don't take the clipboard out
- 30:38Speaker 6: of the coach's hands. He's not heard that the years prior,
- 30:40Speaker 6: Kyrie had done at the Brad So I was like, oh, yeah,
- 30:43Speaker 6: that makes a lot of sense. Can't be doing that
- 30:46Speaker 6: especially Yeah, this is back when I played with Tennessee
- 30:51Speaker 6: because Barnes. Because Barnes was very like like, I definitely
- 30:57Speaker 6: did that a lot. I did a couple of thoumes
- 31:02Speaker 6: of Barns and like I was like, comment like, if
- 31:04Speaker 6: you got an idea, like the job.
- 31:07Speaker 7: So then I did it and it didn't work.
- 31:10Speaker 4: But I magic going a job interview. Hey, let me
- 31:13Speaker 4: make the job.
- 31:15Speaker 7: Let me know with that.
- 31:15Speaker 6: So then next thing you know, I'm like, I'm not
- 31:17Speaker 6: going to Boston. I get a text saying congratulations graduations. Congratulations.
- 31:21Speaker 6: I'm like what they graduated me for? So I text
- 31:24Speaker 6: my agent. I'm like, yo, what's what's going on? He's
- 31:25Speaker 6: got three congratulations texts. He's like, I don't know. I'm
- 31:29Speaker 6: like all right. So they call him like, YO, what's
- 31:32Speaker 6: going on. He's like, I don't know. Let me call
- 31:34Speaker 6: around see what actually hold up one second, he's like, uh,
- 31:37Speaker 6: don't take my word for it, but you might be
- 31:39Speaker 6: going to Boston at twenty two. Get your phone out
- 31:41Speaker 6: just in case. So I take my phone out. I'm
- 31:43Speaker 6: at my boy's house, my best friend's house, because i
- 31:45Speaker 6: didn't get a drafted by it to the green room
- 31:48Speaker 6: and I was like, all right, cool, sit there. Boston
- 31:51Speaker 6: gets drafted, everybody goes crazy around me. I think it
- 31:54Speaker 6: was Danny was the first one to call me, and
- 31:56Speaker 6: then Brad and then so I was like going to
- 31:59Speaker 6: Boston was I thought I was going to Utah next
- 32:01Speaker 6: pick and that was my thoughts, Like I thought I
- 32:04Speaker 6: was going to Utah twenty three and they trade to
- 32:06Speaker 6: pick the God Yeah.
- 32:08Speaker 7: That was no.
- 32:08Speaker 6: That was when Utah with nice stuff. That's when they
- 32:10Speaker 6: had Donovan, Mitchell had Rudy they had Yeah.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Right, you was salad your rookie year in both and had.
- 32:18Speaker 6: A lot opportunity to play because like that year in
- 32:20Speaker 6: Boston it was me Shimmy as the really force and.
- 32:23Speaker 7: Then Gordon Hayward hurt.
- 32:27Speaker 6: Yeah, so I played a lot, even in playoffs Gordon
- 32:29Speaker 6: came back like I was still in the rotation, played
- 32:32Speaker 6: a lot of backup five because Tice was our and
- 32:35Speaker 6: his freedom uh year, I think we had in his
- 32:38Speaker 6: freedom that year. Yeah, and then but play a lot
- 32:41Speaker 6: of backup five and kind of made a name through
- 32:43Speaker 6: that that whole process, that rookie year.
- 32:44Speaker 2: Man, you getting drafted, your honey crab as far you
- 32:47Speaker 2: were just over there kicking it when they're kicking it
- 32:48Speaker 2: that you.
- 32:50Speaker 7: No, it was just lyrious. It's like twelve.
- 32:52Speaker 6: It was like me and my family him, like a
- 32:54Speaker 6: couple of my boys, but like we're all just kicking
- 32:56Speaker 6: it because it was like I'd rather do it, like
- 32:59Speaker 6: I didn't want to doing crazy because like I'd hate
- 33:01Speaker 6: to be the guy that's sitting there.
- 33:02Speaker 4: Like, was you nervous you might drop this second round?
- 33:06Speaker 6: I wasn't nervous I'd go second round, but I definitely
- 33:08Speaker 6: didn't think I was in the top Like fifteen twenty picks,
- 33:11Speaker 6: I was like fucking around and thirty Like.
- 33:14Speaker 5: Yeah, this same experienced.
- 33:16Speaker 2: I remember I was supposed to get picked at seventeen
- 33:18Speaker 2: and when I ain't get picked, I ain't.
- 33:20Speaker 5: I was over.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, oh it's over. I'm about to
- 33:24Speaker 2: go second round.
- 33:25Speaker 6: That's how I was like twenty two. I was like,
- 33:27Speaker 6: I'm not going to Boston. So I started looking at Tames.
- 33:30Speaker 6: I was like Utah twenty three, best chance I got,
- 33:34Speaker 6: not Utah San Antonio twenty nine.
- 33:37Speaker 4: We started doing that.
- 33:38Speaker 6: You could you start you started thinking you cook. I
- 33:41Speaker 6: was like like even in my reaction like you see me.
- 33:43Speaker 7: I'm not crying. I'm not I'm just like, damn, I'm
- 33:47Speaker 7: going to Boston.
- 33:48Speaker 4: Now.
- 33:48Speaker 7: I got to Boston. I was like, so, like why
- 33:50Speaker 7: did y'all draft me?
- 33:51Speaker 6: Because I took the clipboard out of Coach's hand work out,
- 33:54Speaker 6: but they brushed it off and they're like, just don't
- 33:56Speaker 6: do that shit again, you.
- 33:59Speaker 4: Know, Jay to Jay, that's my guy's crazy?
- 34:02Speaker 3: What gravitated towards you when you got to Boston? Like
- 34:05Speaker 3: who shows you the ropes?
- 34:06Speaker 7: Kwalk? Kwalk's my vet.
- 34:08Speaker 6: Yeah, even everything, Like I'm gonna say because like the
- 34:12Speaker 6: technically the guys I knew most of the guys in
- 34:14Speaker 6: the roster. JT was best friends of age with Harry,
- 34:18Speaker 6: so like we were mutuals already through through HG and
- 34:20Speaker 6: I was like all right, cool. Then it was Kwalk,
- 34:23Speaker 6: Brad Wanna Maker and uh oh Gordon Gordon Tom Gordon.
- 34:28Speaker 6: Gordon's type of vet though that like do as I do,
- 34:31Speaker 6: Like I'm not gonna pull you along. So if you
- 34:32Speaker 6: want to show up at six am to work out
- 34:34Speaker 6: with me, cool, but like I'm not about to ask
- 34:35Speaker 6: you to show. Kwalk was the type to be like
- 34:39Speaker 6: anything you got like I'm here for you, Like damn
- 34:41Speaker 6: COVID happened that year. I was like, I don't know
- 34:43Speaker 6: what I'm gonna do because my lease, I can't pay
- 34:45Speaker 6: pay for the least I ain't got no, I don't
- 34:46Speaker 6: getting paid no more. And then at the same time,
- 34:49Speaker 6: like I can't go home to my grandparents or my

- 34:54Speaker 6: live with me, saying like I lived with Kwalk the
- 34:57Speaker 6: entire COVID until we went to the bubble so and
- 35:00Speaker 6: then Smart of course was a vet too, but like

- 35:04Speaker 4: Kimba, Kimba was great, Kimble, didn't you and bring into us.
- 35:08Speaker 7: All that love?
- 35:10Speaker 6: Thinking about growing up in Charlotte the man I remember
- 35:13Speaker 6: I told him the story. I said, you came to
- 35:15Speaker 6: practice a Providence day when I was in ninth grade.
- 35:18Speaker 6: I remember asking for your autograph. He's like, no, I
- 35:20Speaker 6: don't remember that, but I remember practicing the PD. I
- 35:23Speaker 6: was like, yeah, in the small gym, like I walked
- 35:24Speaker 6: up to you like it was like the fam moment
- 35:27Speaker 6: for me too. And then also like to have him
- 35:29Speaker 6: as a vat still to this dance. That's my coach,
- 35:32Speaker 6: camera man, Kimbo coach walk, What was you gonna do
- 35:38Speaker 6: with kim? Then they pull up slumming back somewhere we
- 35:44Speaker 6: found out how to figure it out about to be pursued.
- 35:47Speaker 6: Happiness is a league to remember.
- 35:50Speaker 4: With your guy.
- 35:54Speaker 2: What you did with that first shake. But I forgot
- 35:55Speaker 2: that that COVID ship was was wicked.
- 35:57Speaker 6: Kobe was wicked man. Like we was over here about
- 36:00Speaker 6: the bubble, like Dann, bubble was insane too.
- 36:03Speaker 4: Yeah, what was that? Was the bubble?
- 36:06Speaker 6: I got so many stories that bubble man, so so
- 36:08Speaker 6: many stories.
- 36:09Speaker 7: Don't say too much. I can't say this is the
- 36:12Speaker 7: wrong part.
- 36:13Speaker 6: I can't say too much to go to the po
- 36:20Speaker 6: The bubble was crazy just because like you got to think,
- 36:22Speaker 6: you play a game. After a game, you can't shower,
- 36:24Speaker 6: you walk in like you walk out the locker and
- 36:26Speaker 6: you see you just played. Yeah, like and mind you,
- 36:29Speaker 6: there was so much going on the bubble and mind you,
- 36:31Speaker 6: there was nobody but dudes. Like it was to a
- 36:34Speaker 6: point where like you were like they had this one
- 36:36Speaker 6: pool where you had the shrimps, Like you have to
- 36:38Speaker 6: go get shrimps.
- 36:39Speaker 5: You go to your room.
- 36:40Speaker 6: That was the best best food you can get in
- 36:41Speaker 6: the bubble because you couldn't order in from the start.
- 36:43Speaker 6: You didn't get no takeout, like I remember the one
- 36:46Speaker 6: time dude went to the edge of the bubble got.
- 36:47Speaker 7: Suspended for three games.
- 36:48Speaker 6: Yeah, so you couldn't order until like I think it
- 36:51Speaker 6: was like fifty days in and they showed.
- 36:54Speaker 7: Was delivering me into your room.
- 36:57Speaker 6: Now Lebron, Lebron good Bron had his own room at
- 37:00Speaker 6: the top Penthouse wine.
- 37:04Speaker 7: House, the house on the campus.
- 37:05Speaker 5: Speak for yourself.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Yeah, he was like that.
- 37:09Speaker 5: Yeah, I.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Knew about that, were in there with across different bubbles.
- 37:19Speaker 4: I didn't know that.
- 37:20Speaker 6: I didn't know that Bron legit like he had his
- 37:23Speaker 6: own like their own set up, like they was taken
- 37:25Speaker 6: care of everything.
- 37:27Speaker 4: Somebody leaks and I said, I said, specially.
- 37:31Speaker 7: Yeah for that.
- 37:33Speaker 6: So yeah, so then next you know, we have that
- 37:35Speaker 6: bubble experience. Was was insane and even just with people
- 37:39Speaker 6: like I can't put the dog out like my dog,
- 37:42Speaker 6: I can't put guy out like that, Like there are
- 37:44Speaker 6: some people that hang out the pool waiting for it
- 37:47Speaker 6: come down, like you know, different energy. You probably assume
- 37:50Speaker 6: who was in the bubble at the time, so it
- 37:53Speaker 6: was a different, different time.
- 37:54Speaker 4: The real take that's a rough experience and I ain't gone.
- 38:00Speaker 7: How was that hoop?
- 38:01Speaker 5: And though out in that ship.
- 38:02Speaker 6: Though, imagine you playing like you know, Battle for Atlantis
- 38:06Speaker 6: zach feeling is that with no fans?
- 38:08Speaker 5: Okay, so like.
- 38:11Speaker 6: An auditorium ballroom court they put those TV screens around you.
- 38:15Speaker 6: That's when it got wicked where you're like it was
- 38:18Speaker 6: jokes because you look up my pops. My pops had
- 38:20Speaker 6: a like cigarette damn near in his robe.
- 38:26Speaker 8: The zoo like pop like takes an athlet said, pop,
- 38:31Speaker 8: you can't be doing this man, Like.
- 38:33Speaker 4: The chilling square, the road chill it.
- 38:41Speaker 7: I said, yeah, this is a different experience.
- 38:43Speaker 6: You got like they pumping them crowd noise with the
- 38:45Speaker 6: home arena like it wasn't real, Like I always say,
- 38:49Speaker 6: the bubble was such an experience that you have people
- 38:50Speaker 6: playing out of their minds that never played that way before.
- 38:53Speaker 4: Correct. Oh my saw TJ. Warren bubbles. He was damn yeah,
- 39:01Speaker 4: that soops.
- 39:02Speaker 6: Because because guys ain't have to deal with nothing else
- 39:04Speaker 6: was hot ball. At the same time, it was like,
- 39:07Speaker 6: I ain't never seen dudes like our heroes pulling up
- 39:09Speaker 6: off one leg three on some crazy It's real.
- 39:14Speaker 5: Murray crazy Ray.
- 39:17Speaker 4: It had to be.
- 39:18Speaker 2: It had to be better than playing in the next year, though,
- 39:20Speaker 2: I can't except that was terrible. So you laying in
- 39:23Speaker 2: them big old arenas with nobody in there, Yeah.
- 39:27Speaker 7: It was dead you bro, it was so funny.
- 39:29Speaker 6: What was that You remember that game when somebody was
- 39:31Speaker 6: talking crazy about the rough and scream that ship in
- 39:34Speaker 6: the game and you can hear everything.
- 39:36Speaker 7: You heard everything. Stop by the bench. You can't talk
- 39:39Speaker 7: to me that way.
- 39:40Speaker 4: You can hear everything. Bro.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Our first game we walked in the stadium, were about
- 39:46Speaker 2: to play Milwaukee. I'm like, this ship ain't gonna work.
- 39:50Speaker 2: I can't get hyped. Jac hit a game winner. Yeah,
- 40:00Speaker 2: we go to a hell of a shot too, man
- 40:02Speaker 2: Like fun like, okay, where we're going tonight.
- 40:05Speaker 6: Like the bubble was definitely better than that second year.
- 40:08Speaker 6: I could imagine, Like, and it's tough because even for me,
- 40:11Speaker 6: like because Peyton Pritching, those guys rookie, so they never
- 40:13Speaker 6: experienced fans. For me, I experienced fans for the first
- 40:16Speaker 6: half of the season, then dealt with the bubble got Wick,
- 40:18Speaker 6: then dealt with the next year. So it's like completely different,
- 40:21Speaker 6: Like I'm over here, Like Bubble times was I feel
- 40:24Speaker 6: like it was a grind. But then the next year
- 40:28Speaker 6: it felt like literally the entire season was just like
- 40:30Speaker 6: tossing to the They didn't want to be there.
- 40:32Speaker 4: That damn that ship was over. Didn't nobody want to
- 40:35Speaker 4: be there though.

- 49:08Speaker 2: He was cooking and practiced.
- 49:09Speaker 4: Though.
- 49:09Speaker 6: You gotta think Payton been through it all, like he
- 49:11Speaker 6: was in that positional jet. He started playing again, he
- 49:15Speaker 6: made came. He was hooping for real. Then after that
- 49:17Speaker 6: the next season was Knocolm Brock didn't Jeff like, uh,
- 49:21Speaker 6: Derek White, Marcus Smart touch the court. Yeah, And then
- 49:25Speaker 6: the following year that's when they started going off.
- 49:27Speaker 3: I love bro We just had a crazy segment about
- 49:30Speaker 3: him and Kayle Park on Show Fast.
- 49:33Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 49:33Speaker 4: Yeah, they got paid, they got paying paying like playing nice.
- 49:39Speaker 6: I love could win Kaylen kay Kayla nice paying different
- 49:46Speaker 6: think about this painting so nice that a team of
- 49:48Speaker 6: j T and JB they give him the ball sometimes
- 49:50Speaker 6: at the end of the game eleven rock.
- 49:52Speaker 2: Yeah he's nice. Bro I ain't never I always say
- 49:56Speaker 2: the year good. He drivel the fun out that ball.
- 50:00Speaker 2: He got handles, like he said the.
- 50:03Speaker 4: Other day, put niggas in the blender.
- 50:05Speaker 7: You gotta play him soon. And I'm pissed that Grange.
- 50:09Speaker 2: He'd be talking crazy too.
- 50:13Speaker 4: He talked.
- 50:14Speaker 6: He talked like he truly like he go any pick
- 50:17Speaker 6: up session.
- 50:17Speaker 3: But yeah, I gotta meet Brot.
- 50:20Speaker 4: He's definitely got like.
- 50:21Speaker 3: I gotta meet my boy p P for sure.
- 50:26Speaker 4: Black calling meeting the PP though A.
- 50:30Speaker 3: That is that is because I ain't there. But see
- 50:33Speaker 3: I don't call my ship that. That's probably why I
- 50:35Speaker 3: went over my head. It's the wood or nothing but
- 50:49Speaker 3: toughest guard though in the league.
- 50:51Speaker 4: Man.
- 50:51Speaker 2: Yeah, that's about you understande me with your ship that
- 50:55Speaker 2: he one through five.
- 50:56Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 50:57Speaker 6: It's always it's really niggas, like like short niggas that
- 51:01Speaker 6: can shoot, that can go like fast, like Peyton, Like
- 51:03Speaker 6: there's Garland step Curry's c McCollums, like those guys are
- 51:07Speaker 6: the hardest one because I'd rather guard it's gonna get
- 51:11Speaker 6: me fucked up in the future. I'd rather Kadie and
- 51:13Speaker 6: those type of guys because it's more like more fun
- 51:16Speaker 6: than guarded. Nigga, that's just gonna pit pat cold Cross
- 51:20Speaker 6: like pass it off, cut, back door, sprint to get
- 51:22Speaker 6: the ball, like, yeah, it's.
- 51:23Speaker 7: Too much like relax.
- 51:25Speaker 4: I knew you was different when you was going joeling
- 51:27Speaker 4: b Yeah, I'll never forget that, bro. I was watching
- 51:31Speaker 4: that game.
- 51:33Speaker 2: Noah, I mean nah, he was actually doing a good job,
- 51:34Speaker 2: but be seven foot pounds like he's six seven for sure.
- 51:41Speaker 4: Did you sign up for that or they put you
- 51:43Speaker 4: in that?
- 51:44Speaker 6: So like I always was able to like guard bigger guys,
- 51:47Speaker 6: like even like college everything else, going to the league
- 51:50Speaker 6: and we like they saw when played Bam, like we're
- 51:53Speaker 6: just gonna try him and like try him like put
- 51:55Speaker 6: them on, put him on and beads, Yeah he does.
- 51:58Speaker 6: And then like I was guarding, so like I actually
- 52:00Speaker 6: do better. I think on I would say I guard
- 52:03Speaker 6: best three through five, one in and two's like Donovan
- 52:06Speaker 6: Mitchell's those guys of the world struggle like they might
- 52:12Speaker 6: not score four three out of five, but like sorry,
- 52:15Speaker 6: four out.
- 52:15Speaker 7: Of five, but maybe three out of five. Other guys I'd.
- 52:17Speaker 6: Say two, maybe one out of five, like even like
- 52:20Speaker 6: the guards sitting dooing recently, Like guys like that, Like
- 52:22Speaker 6: I feel like I feel confident in my matchup versus
- 52:24Speaker 6: like other matchups. I'm like, I might got to I
- 52:27Speaker 6: got the better of me. I'm true, I'm truthful about
- 52:29Speaker 6: it for sure. Bro like and b even for example,
- 52:32Speaker 6: like guarding him in the playoff series, garden Yiannis like
- 52:37Speaker 6: Brook Lopez, Like those guys are like, those are the
- 52:39Speaker 6: ones I feel like I have the most fun Guarden
- 52:41Speaker 6: because they don't flop, they play downhill and like they
- 52:46Speaker 6: fight like I like fighting, so.
- 52:50Speaker 4: Bruise on the side of your head.
- 52:58Speaker 2: Club, what was it like playing in the finals against
- 53:03Speaker 2: no saying that type of war?
- 53:05Speaker 6: Say probe you didn't go from fight club? Asked about
- 53:08Speaker 6: the Pistons playing in the finals is cool because like
- 53:16Speaker 6: it's a different experience, like they always talk about like
- 53:19Speaker 6: the CP quote, Like I want to feel this like
- 53:22Speaker 6: experience again, like type ship, like it was legit, like
- 53:25Speaker 6: you that first game you stupp on the court. I
- 53:26Speaker 6: remember my heart was beating out my chest and you
- 53:30Speaker 6: start playing and it's some of the best environments, whether
- 53:34Speaker 6: it's like fans, the media before the game, like it's
- 53:38Speaker 6: top to bottom across from first man to fifteenth man.
- 53:41Speaker 4: I feel like you got to stay locked.
- 53:42Speaker 6: No, it's a it's a different experience and like to
- 53:45Speaker 6: experience it in that twenty two and two series, Like
- 53:47Speaker 6: I remember were playing those those games.
- 53:49Speaker 7: We we thought we wanted, like.
- 53:51Speaker 6: We were too up to to one to or yeah,
- 53:54Speaker 6: two to one, and I was like, yo, like we're
- 53:56Speaker 6: going back home, like we're home. We got to get
- 53:58Speaker 6: this next win Game four half Steph, like I always say,
- 54:01Speaker 6: Steph went off. Steph is insane. Jordan Poole was, he was.
- 54:05Speaker 6: He was reason why they won that series. But Steph,
- 54:08Speaker 6: that Game four was ridiculous, Like oh yeah, I remember
- 54:11Speaker 6: I was guarding it.
- 54:11Speaker 7: But then when I got up, I remember washing it.
- 54:13Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, this is this is a different
- 54:17Speaker 6: level of basketball player.
- 54:18Speaker 2: And he was hyped too, like he was on a bitch. Yeah,
- 54:21Speaker 2: he's showing a lot of emotion and ship he was.
- 54:23Speaker 4: He was wild.
- 54:24Speaker 6: I ain't never like because Clay was cool this whole
- 54:26Speaker 6: series and he was good, but like it was really
- 54:28Speaker 6: JP and Steph that was that was carrying them throughout
- 54:30Speaker 6: that entire run. Sure, Otto Porter and Andrew Wiggins. Bro,
- 54:35Speaker 6: they had some big ass.
- 54:36Speaker 4: Game Auto Porter.
- 54:37Speaker 6: I don't body thatt me off to this day because
- 54:40Speaker 6: the final year he got traded to the Raptors out
- 54:42Speaker 6: the league.
- 54:44Speaker 7: Like still makes me mad. Like he was busting Bro.
- 54:46Speaker 6: We always got We always got some random dudes that
- 54:48Speaker 6: beat us back when I was in Boston.
- 54:50Speaker 5: Yeah that was George.
- 54:51Speaker 4: Yeah he was he was.
- 54:53Speaker 6: Healthy all he never been healthy his entire career and
- 54:56Speaker 6: true finals running want to freaking play every game twenty
- 54:59Speaker 6: minutes to be good.
- 55:00Speaker 5: He was killed, man, that one.
- 55:04Speaker 4: He was that close to being like me, Bro, he
- 55:09Speaker 4: was that close to being a champ. Bro.
- 55:10Speaker 2: That's but he did get your bucks up out of
- 55:12Speaker 2: here before that thought. I was alrighty going, Bros.
- 55:17Speaker 6: Part about it is that championship year. I remember you
- 55:19Speaker 6: played what three minutes? It was real factor.
- 55:29Speaker 4: Today. Hang you ever batched up with Draymond?
- 55:33Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure. Did another game against Pelicans.
- 55:38Speaker 6: Statesis back list trying to reap out all right, that
- 55:44Speaker 6: was the even game one of the series. Man got
- 55:47Speaker 6: into it that that series and I always say I
- 55:51Speaker 6: got the most respect for Draymond in the world because
- 55:53Speaker 6: I admitted to this day and I'm never changing the stance.
- 55:55Speaker 6: I was my favorite player growing up because six seven
- 55:57Speaker 6: ye ward that you know, pass it involved, you know
- 56:02Speaker 6: everything that stuff. So like I'll give him the credit
- 56:03Speaker 6: where it's due. But every time we play against him,
- 56:06Speaker 6: it's smoke smoke.
- 56:08Speaker 7: Competitive.
- 56:09Speaker 6: Like I think that he's the type of person that
- 56:11Speaker 6: like talk, as you all know, talks all the ship
- 56:13Speaker 6: in the world. He got the team to back it up,
- 56:17Speaker 6: and there's a phenomenal job of you know, make an
- 56:19Speaker 6: impact on winning where you can. So like when I
- 56:22Speaker 6: was in Boston, especially back and forth, back and forth
- 56:24Speaker 6: every single time. I think when I was the first
- 56:26Speaker 6: with my first five years, there was always altercation.
- 56:29Speaker 7: Damn, there was some level of altercation where.
- 56:31Speaker 6: It was like there was when I trade to Charlotte
- 56:33Speaker 6: and try to kick me in my nuts when it
- 56:35Speaker 6: was you know, when I was in Dallas had to
- 56:37Speaker 6: me like when I had in Boston, like us wrestled
- 56:41Speaker 6: to the ground double text, like it was always something.
- 56:44Speaker 7: This year, I think this year is the first year that.
- 56:45Speaker 4: Play I remember, y'all, wrest I just never knew that
- 56:48Speaker 4: child was to like at each other.
- 56:50Speaker 6: I never know somebody else because like with Dre, you
- 56:53Speaker 6: try and put your five on him, You try and
- 56:55Speaker 6: put like when we were in Boston, we put j
- 56:57Speaker 6: T on him because we were like, we can just
- 56:59Speaker 6: switch it, like you put me on.
- 57:02Speaker 7: Who was on that team at the time.
- 57:07Speaker 4: I won't take credit.
- 57:09Speaker 6: It was like they put me on, Yeah, switch, I
- 57:15Speaker 6: would switching WINNI and they would never come into ball screens.
- 57:18Speaker 2: You talk about having to seene to back it up,
- 57:19Speaker 2: go ahead up. Recently Detroit Charlotte hellp of time.
- 57:23Speaker 7: Man.
- 57:25Speaker 6: Was like, man, I always say just watch the reactions, man, like,
- 57:28Speaker 6: because I saw it from the start like this is
- 57:30Speaker 6: like even before this play started happening, like during and
- 57:33Speaker 6: Moose were jawing, like talking, talking, and once the much happened,
- 57:36Speaker 6: I was like, oh, like it started getting crazy. I
- 57:38Speaker 6: stood he packs in my hands over there, like all right,
- 57:42Speaker 6: let's see if they get.
- 57:42Speaker 7: It taken care of.
- 57:43Speaker 6: Because I'm not about I got fined my second year
- 57:46Speaker 6: in the league or third year in the league against
- 57:48Speaker 6: the Bulls, I got to spend it one game, man,
- 57:51Speaker 6: I lost thirty thousand dollars. I'm not like yeah, I
- 57:54Speaker 6: ain't never doing this again. Then this happens, right, so
- 57:59Speaker 6: I'm up here like all right, they got it situated.
- 58:00Speaker 6: When I saw Miles swing on Durham, I was like,
- 58:03Speaker 6: all right, you see me and tell me to start walking.
- 58:06Speaker 6: We start walking and Stewart ran. That's when we really
- 58:08Speaker 6: start walking. And my coach pulled me back because he
- 58:11Speaker 6: was like, Grant, we need you to play like you
- 58:13Speaker 6: see me trying to get on the court twice and
- 58:15Speaker 6: I'm like, yo, I want to be involved.
- 58:17Speaker 4: It's fun. Don't lose, no chicken.
- 58:21Speaker 6: But that's what it was. You can't lose dun the ring.
- 58:27Speaker 6: Every each sequence was fun because you saw the first one.
- 58:31Speaker 6: I give a lot of credit during because he really
- 58:32Speaker 6: could knock my dog out like Musa. It's like, this
- 58:36Speaker 6: situation happened. Tries to swing on him, holds back. They
- 58:39Speaker 6: hold him back like we got him situated. He walks away.
- 58:42Speaker 6: We think it's done. Musa going crazy. Throw security right here.
- 58:46Speaker 6: This is when he could have.
- 58:50Speaker 5: Food.
- 58:52Speaker 4: He watched it second. You could tell you can fight too,
- 58:55Speaker 4: because turns he checked.
- 59:00Speaker 6: Held it back like all right, he checks the hook
- 59:04Speaker 6: then keeps backing up, So I was all right, cool,
- 59:06Speaker 6: they get most situated. Miles, I think it was just
- 59:09Speaker 6: riled up. He was talking. He's trying to port his teammate.
- 59:13Speaker 6: Goes keeps pursuing him, trying to swing swings on. During
- 59:17Speaker 6: they swing back and forth, they miss miss missmiss. So
- 59:21Speaker 6: nothing happened. Sewer came from the other side of the bitch.
- 59:26Speaker 4: He could have scooped him, though he is he since
- 59:29Speaker 4: to this day.
- 59:30Speaker 7: I think he would have scooped him. But dun over,
- 59:33Speaker 7: I don't know if either one of them.
- 59:34Speaker 6: Know what When they get to the ground, like you
- 59:36Speaker 6: got to think, because throwing hands is different. He slipped it,
- 59:39Speaker 6: Scoops Goes through a double leg, tries to slam on.
- 59:42Speaker 4: I forgot you was into that ship.
- 59:43Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you know I met down.
- 59:47Speaker 4: Yeah, and he just broke down the stands. I forgot
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: as to the fight, what are you doing? Crazy?
- 1:00:08Speaker 9: At least you got points yeah zero zero zero zero
- 1:00:14Speaker 9: point yeah.
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: Yeah, no, God, I.
- 1:00:21Speaker 6: Think Miles would have slammed them. I don't know what
- 1:00:22Speaker 6: after that. There ain't no chance of breaking that up.
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: No, it's too too because they're a girl on my nighbor,
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: I said, Doug, I said, my boy been in this.
- 1:00:31Speaker 7: I took him back to the hotel, even doing boxing
- 1:00:33Speaker 7: lessons over the show show.
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: Yeah, they got waking for sure. It was like man
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: moving from Boston to Dallas. What was that transition?
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: Like, yeah, I was saying, because like.
- 1:00:43Speaker 7: Signing trade, signing trades always in a misconception.
- 1:00:46Speaker 6: People think signing trades is like, oh, this guy got moved,
- 1:00:49Speaker 6: versus signing trades basically the player decided to go somewhere
- 1:00:52Speaker 6: else and stuff like that. So when I left the team,
- 1:00:55Speaker 6: I was like, you know, at the time, me and
- 1:00:57Speaker 6: Joe were on the best of terms. Now with my
- 1:00:59Speaker 6: dog locked in for life, but at the time we
- 1:01:02Speaker 6: were on best of Terrice. I was like, I'm gone.
- 1:01:03Speaker 6: I'm gone either way. So then I signed Dallas and
- 1:01:06Speaker 6: I'm like, all right, cool, So Devin me Luca's represented
- 1:01:09Speaker 6: by by my agency, Uh get there, and Mark and
- 1:01:12Speaker 6: those guys are like, hey, we're excited to have you.
- 1:01:14Speaker 6: We need you to be like a leader on his team,
- 1:01:16Speaker 6: hold people accountable, all this other stuff. I'm like cool.
- 1:01:19Speaker 6: So then that season happens, you know how it went,
- 1:01:23Speaker 6: and uh, like it was a great time. Like I
- 1:01:26Speaker 6: looked back to those times. I learned so much about
- 1:01:28Speaker 6: that team, Like Kyrie, like all the misconceptions that I
- 1:01:31Speaker 6: had across about him at the league. I was like, yo,
- 1:01:33Speaker 6: this is one of the best teammates I've ever had.
- 1:01:36Speaker 6: Like and then you got like l D one of
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: the best players. I remember those conversations with E T
- 1:01:42Speaker 6: and JT is my dog. JT is my dog. JT
- 1:01:47Speaker 6: is my dog. That and that he impacts winning more so,
- 1:01:53Speaker 6: how you determine which one is the better player, that's
- 1:01:56Speaker 6: on you to decide.
- 1:01:57Speaker 7: The talent that I saw playing with Luca is absurd.
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: He's nice. Who'd you say about J two? I missed?
- 1:02:04Speaker 6: He impacts The way he impacts winning is unprecedented. He
- 1:02:09Speaker 6: impacts the game out every fast that he can defend,
- 1:02:11Speaker 6: he can like he's a playmaker. He can score, so
- 1:02:15Speaker 6: he's a six to ten wing that can do it all.
- 1:02:17Speaker 6: That's the that's the best way to describe it. L
- 1:02:19Speaker 6: D six seven European bucket that also controls the game.
- 1:02:26Speaker 6: But he like he pays, like he knows how he
- 1:02:29Speaker 6: puts people in position, Like I've never had that many
- 1:02:32Speaker 6: open shots since playing with Luca Donci in my life.
- 1:02:35Speaker 6: It's difficult at times, but at the same time, like
- 1:02:39Speaker 6: it's like you watch him, you're amazed, and like I
- 1:02:43Speaker 6: always say, JT, I think had the benefit of the
- 1:02:45Speaker 6: doubt that like in moments like that, he was amazing
- 1:02:48Speaker 6: in moments, but also we had a really really freaking
- 1:02:50Speaker 6: good team, so you didn't have to be amazing at
- 1:02:52Speaker 6: all times.
- 1:02:53Speaker 7: Like with l D.
- 1:02:54Speaker 6: I felt like every single game, I'd be like there's
- 1:02:56Speaker 6: something new that I'm like, holy crap. Like and maybe
- 1:02:59Speaker 6: that's just how they both play, you know. JT is
- 1:03:01Speaker 6: a little bit more passive also like a little bit
- 1:03:03Speaker 6: more like trusting in his teammates. L D is a
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: little more ball dominant, you know, getting.
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: To his own So what's that first practice of the
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: training camp? Like, would you gotta see Kyrie and Luca
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: hooping at the game?
- 1:03:13Speaker 7: Oh no, So.
- 1:03:15Speaker 6: I'll say that I always bring it back to that
- 1:03:18Speaker 6: family story when family came out. Was like Grant got
- 1:03:20Speaker 6: twenty six on his head. I'm like that is cap.
- 1:03:22Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, definitely got scored on about twelve.
- 1:03:28Speaker 6: Definitely about twelve twelve. The spirits switches. So like the
- 1:03:32Speaker 6: l D, like I was I was in charge of
- 1:03:34Speaker 6: making sure you showed up every day, so like I
- 1:03:36Speaker 6: was like always agitating them, like pissing them off some
- 1:03:40Speaker 6: way like makes and now it's we practice like we
- 1:03:42Speaker 6: practice every day. It's different than different, like we skirmished
- 1:03:46Speaker 6: like that was. So it was it was smooth, like
- 1:03:50Speaker 6: I rocked with it man. So it was competitive like
- 1:03:52Speaker 6: Kai and absurd. But Kyle, you know, pick and choose
- 1:03:55Speaker 6: like some days when you know guys get into it.
- 1:03:58Speaker 6: That's when Kyle turned up for the other days. Yeah,
- 1:04:00Speaker 6: ld Jesus for his condition, whatever he needs to do
- 1:04:03Speaker 6: and let rock out. So it was fun. But also
- 1:04:06Speaker 6: that team, like you could tell that team was a
- 1:04:08Speaker 6: finals team even without like the talent, like we needed
- 1:04:11Speaker 6: one more big at the time, like Rashaun Holmes. I
- 1:04:14Speaker 6: think at the time when I was there, like we
- 1:04:16Speaker 6: needed like Gafford changed that team hell of a.
- 1:04:21Speaker 7: Notre PJ.
- 1:04:22Speaker 6: Like it was a good trade in my hand, like
- 1:04:23Speaker 6: in terms of like similar players. But at the same time,
- 1:04:26Speaker 6: like I think PJ provides a little bit more I
- 1:04:29Speaker 6: like passing board than he does, Like I feel like
- 1:04:31Speaker 6: he's a little more score score motivated. So like even
- 1:04:35Speaker 6: that group, like they were they were prepared to go
- 1:04:37Speaker 6: to the finals and that's why they did.
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: I just think that made it tough at the end.
- 1:04:40Speaker 4: So you were one part.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: So who probably thought Las year like everybody else, like
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: how the hell did that trade Luca or that was
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: probably shocking.
- 1:04:46Speaker 6: House in Ben and I was like I saw, I
- 1:04:48Speaker 6: saw the tweet. I was like, ain't no way. At
- 1:04:52Speaker 6: the same time, I know because like Nico loves a D.
- 1:04:56Speaker 6: You know love he's a Kobe guy, and Ad was
- 1:04:59Speaker 6: Kobe's guy. Talking about it was really trying to I
- 1:05:01Speaker 6: thought it was really trying to set up Yann It's
- 1:05:03Speaker 6: going to Dallas. That's what they really wanted. They wanted
- 1:05:06Speaker 6: Joannice and a D in Dallas. I think that was
- 1:05:09Speaker 6: the envision the plan. Oh a D Wow. Were the
- 1:05:14Speaker 6: fair families? Yes, general, because that's how that's all he
- 1:05:18Speaker 6: talked about. He talked about those two guys. Those were
- 1:05:20Speaker 6: the guys. So I think, like they said, remember the
- 1:05:22Speaker 6: first call they made to Walks, it was a Timberwolves.
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: I think it was Milwaukee. Then it was Timberwolves.
- 1:05:29Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, then Timberwolves looks going after, Timberwolves going after
- 1:05:36Speaker 6: So that.
- 1:05:37Speaker 4: Was a year earlier. It's been this year.
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: Boy would have been Yeah, Dallas out of there.
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: It's been deep them for show. Yeah.
- 1:05:46Speaker 6: So but that was it was. It was smooth like
- 1:05:49Speaker 6: seeing it. But then when the trade happened, I was
- 1:05:51Speaker 6: like wealth Nicoas just fed up. They were they were
- 1:05:54Speaker 6: done with it. They were done with like the like
- 1:05:55Speaker 6: the like organizational control. They were done for them. So
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: they were like, we're gonna move off of them. And
- 1:06:02Speaker 6: in my opinion, I think that was messed up because
- 1:06:04Speaker 6: blindsided your best player, superstar, superstar probably top three, top
- 1:06:10Speaker 6: two player.
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: In the NBA.
- 1:06:11Speaker 6: Yeah, So it was like it was very shocked from
- 1:06:15Speaker 6: a player perspective because I'm like, you could have easily
- 1:06:17Speaker 6: like gone to him and be like yo, because they
- 1:06:20Speaker 6: also thought they did right by him, because like if
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: you know ld enough, like you know, it's probably three
- 1:06:25Speaker 6: places he'd go if it wasn't Dallas. Yeah, and that's
- 1:06:27Speaker 6: probably one of the three. But he did get traded
- 1:06:32Speaker 6: to the Lakers. Still, like like if you knew your
- 1:06:35Speaker 6: Champions of Lakers, you can still go to him and
- 1:06:37Speaker 6: be like yo, like yeah, not to you. I know
- 1:06:40Speaker 6: you probably hate this, You're out of here.
- 1:06:42Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, yeah, you are going to l A.
- 1:06:46Speaker 4: You're going to l A.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: Bro, Yeah, you will be like here you probably like
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: damn what, well, fifty million probablybout the making endorsement deals.
- 1:06:55Speaker 4: But you take it away Texas. Yeah, and what up?
- 1:07:01Speaker 4: You're right and it ain't gonna stay packed super Max.
- 1:07:06Speaker 5: He gonna get that back, y'all.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: Trust I need that now, Brow, you gonna get it.
- 1:07:11Speaker 7: You see, ld in a ton of commercials. Do not
- 1:07:13Speaker 7: really like commercials.
- 1:07:15Speaker 11: Did you know and had a tree nigga? Yeah, nigga,
- 1:07:22Speaker 11: you didn't know that the nigga told you back in
- 1:07:26Speaker 11: the tree, ain't it?
- 1:07:27Speaker 8: Yeah? L you know what that's a Bomber Old Night versus.
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: Episode.
- 1:07:37Speaker 10: Yeah, bo Bro, niggas didn't know the niggas linked the
- 1:07:42Speaker 10: thors what So okay, Rich believe.
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: You believe that problem. Have you back from injury, man,
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: Good to see you back on the court. Man.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: How's the feeling being back coming back from injury? I
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: know that's a grime man with stuff like that. It's great,
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: but it's.
- 1:08:02Speaker 6: Tough, Like I feel like come back from any injury,
- 1:08:05Speaker 6: you know, any type of Like it's my first injury
- 1:08:07Speaker 6: in my life for that made me miss time. So
- 1:08:10Speaker 6: like coming back from an injury has shown me that
- 1:08:13Speaker 6: you have to be patient. You gotta be understanding that
- 1:08:15Speaker 6: you're not like you might be better in your like
- 1:08:18Speaker 6: your mind, like you're better than you were, but you
- 1:08:20Speaker 6: gotta like be understanding that the SHOT's going to come around.
- 1:08:23Speaker 6: Like even the first two or three, three four games,
- 1:08:25Speaker 6: like I was playing good defensively, helping the team win
- 1:08:28Speaker 6: and stuff like that, but man, I was like twelve percent,
- 1:08:30Speaker 6: like from the field, twelve percent from the three I
- 1:08:32Speaker 6: was like, I'm a I was killing in practice.
- 1:08:34Speaker 4: It ain't none like that game speed, it.
- 1:08:36Speaker 7: Ain't nothing like it.
- 1:08:38Speaker 6: Now, I think I'm getting more accustomed to it, like
- 1:08:40Speaker 6: turning it back around. But like even so, it's like
- 1:08:43Speaker 6: they say, it takes a full year. So I'm trying
- 1:08:45Speaker 6: to be paid for myself, but also understand that I
- 1:08:47Speaker 6: can't be too patient because trying to try to make
- 1:08:50Speaker 6: it hold yourself to a high standard, but also like
- 1:08:55Speaker 6: doing all things that matter, like like before you know,
- 1:08:58Speaker 6: I always tell the stories like that finals run. I
- 1:09:00Speaker 6: used to man, I used to manipulate my weight so badly,
- 1:09:03Speaker 6: like I would go from two for I remember that
- 1:09:05Speaker 6: first round series. I went from two forty three. Second
- 1:09:08Speaker 6: round series we played the Bucks, I got up to
- 1:09:10Speaker 6: forty eight. Third round series we played BAM. I knew
- 1:09:12Speaker 6: after playing the five I was two fifty four. Try
- 1:09:15Speaker 6: to get down into forty three again to play the Warriors.
- 1:09:17Speaker 6: I can only get down to like two forty seven.
- 1:09:19Speaker 6: So like I used to try and do that, you.
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: Need to tell him how to do this ship.
- 1:09:22Speaker 7: I know the methods.
- 1:09:25Speaker 5: I'll tell you how to lose what.
- 1:09:27Speaker 12: Start the month? Yeah, okay, I can't do that. No
- 1:09:41Speaker 12: more weight, you know what.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: Tomorrow.
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: I don't want you to get into trouble.
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:09:56Speaker 4: Never.
- 1:09:57Speaker 7: We can't manipulate my weight anymore way i'd used to.
- 1:10:00Speaker 6: So like now with the ac injury, I'm like, all,
- 1:10:02Speaker 6: I got to make sure I stay at the two
- 1:10:04Speaker 6: forty seven to forty eight rather than going up twoty five.
- 1:10:08Speaker 4: Nigga, you way two forty eight cause niggas he was all.
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: But you need to teach you about that, like listen, listen, man,
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: be here with the real Charlotte Hornets.
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: Man playoffs before you go. You got to tell us
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: about these cards.
- 1:10:32Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh yeah, off the court court free game
- 1:10:36Speaker 6: so whatever cards like you knows might be fans of
- 1:10:39Speaker 6: stuff like that, like ripping wax.
- 1:10:41Speaker 7: It's like gambling.
- 1:10:42Speaker 6: I'll give you a truth, like I brought a case
- 1:10:45Speaker 6: to rip If you want to rip it after we're
- 1:10:46Speaker 6: done where it's like if you want oh yeah, yeah,
- 1:10:49Speaker 6: let's so we got a case of Panini Prism. The
- 1:10:52Speaker 6: bun below it, the black brown case. That's the case
- 1:10:55Speaker 6: of Pernini Prism football this year. So like door autos. Yeah,
- 1:10:59Speaker 6: it's like a whole case of like twelve boxes in it. Okay,
- 1:11:02Speaker 6: so big money on the way, Yeah, so cases that
- 1:11:06Speaker 6: guaranteed case hits. So like you normally have a better
- 1:11:08Speaker 6: chance of making your money back compared to if you
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: buy individual box. So yeah, let me yeah, if you
- 1:11:14Speaker 6: had a key, so the way you really it's basically
- 1:11:18Speaker 6: out prospecting, just like GM, just like you would if
- 1:11:20Speaker 6: you're owning the team and you basically hold cards.
- 1:11:24Speaker 7: Some cards are more rare than others. The cards are
- 1:11:26Speaker 7: more rare sophomore.
- 1:11:27Speaker 6: Yeah, so these I brought football because it's the best
- 1:11:32Speaker 6: way to talk about Okay, big rips right on, brother box.
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: Yes, sir, And if I find some heat here, I
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: get to keep it.
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: Give you keyp Okay, we got gifts, let me get
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: now you're a Franklin and this joint listen.
- 1:11:47Speaker 6: If you had let's tell you the truth always if
- 1:11:49Speaker 6: you hit the manga. You're coming off on five figures
- 1:11:51Speaker 6: and just say y'all know. Okay, So if you see
- 1:11:53Speaker 6: a car that looks like an anime print.
- 1:11:55Speaker 4: Yeah car, say less.
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: Now listen, are you want of the people who'll be
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: in there runing all the kids drink of the Pokemon cards.
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: And you have people.
- 1:12:04Speaker 6: I'm not the person that shows up by twenty boxes
- 1:12:07Speaker 6: and walks out like I'm a person like I like buying.
- 1:12:11Speaker 4: It would be multiple pack the pack, ye.
- 1:12:15Speaker 7: All the packs. I'll tell you if you had.
- 1:12:16Speaker 4: A good card, I'm a I'm a numpered cards. What
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: you're looking for an everybody? I gotta right? Luis though?
- 1:12:24Speaker 4: Is that fire?
- 1:12:25Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:12:25Speaker 7: Like the base car?
- 1:12:27Speaker 6: Like base cars are cool, they're like cool names. But
- 1:12:29Speaker 6: you want guys up like the shinier cards.
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: Look Jared Golf, would you consider it a shiny So?
- 1:12:35Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a blue. That's a blue blue. That's numbers.
- 1:12:38Speaker 5: Who's one?
- 1:12:40Speaker 7: So tell you the number?
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: The number ten, Christian McCaffrey, I trade you.
- 1:12:44Speaker 7: And also that's another thing. You can trade cards.
- 1:12:46Speaker 6: But like what I always do is based cars don't
- 1:12:49Speaker 6: really matter, right, so always just you can peak it.
- 1:12:52Speaker 7: You'll see that.
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: Okay, who is the Taylor R. J.
- 1:12:57Speaker 6: Harvey basketball print to one a like rookies sell higher
- 1:13:02Speaker 6: than the vets, dude, okay consistently. So if you have
- 1:13:06Speaker 6: a rookie card that's a silver, then that will sell
- 1:13:09Speaker 6: more than a rookie bass. Some are now like numbered
- 1:13:12Speaker 6: cards and some more. It kind of goes by like
- 1:13:13Speaker 6: inclements you're looking for, like the bigger name the quarterbacks,
- 1:13:17Speaker 6: Like you had a Jackson dark silver, you might have
- 1:13:19Speaker 6: hit like a couple hundred card in the gym.
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: All right, so this oh he earnest, he ain't ain't rolling?
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: Yeah, older.
- 1:13:28Speaker 7: Insert.
- 1:13:29Speaker 6: I got the silvers like people will collect them for sets,
- 1:13:32Speaker 6: but they're not really like something that you like, you
- 1:13:35Speaker 6: ever put to the side unless it's number.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: I'm getting legendary. I got the wife freenye, I got
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor shock.
- 1:13:40Speaker 6: So you get commit like some cool names, but because
- 1:13:43Speaker 6: they're not their rookie like you go back and rip
- 1:13:44Speaker 6: the products when they were rookies nukes versus nowadays.
- 1:13:48Speaker 7: Unless it's an autograph or something like.
- 1:13:49Speaker 5: That super Bowl champion.
- 1:13:52Speaker 4: Hell yeah, we have too much fun with this man
- 1:13:54Speaker 4: attacked man for sure.
