• 4:51
  Speaker 3: To the floor, depends on the the arena like some
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: of them are close to the floor. Like maybe having
• 4:56

• 19:23
  Speaker 3: prestigious league, second best league outside the NBA, and then
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: it goes to euro Cup. We won the euro Cup
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: when I was in Monaco, soy and I was there,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: like you know, I was the captain of the team.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: We wanted for them to go to EuroLeague. So if
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: you win EuroCup, you advanced the euro League and we
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: won the euro Cup.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: How cool was that?
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: That was my first No, that was my first trophy

  Speaker 3: ever over there, but that was like the first major
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: trophy I won.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Like, okay, over there?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: And what are what are the playoffs? I mean roughly
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: how many games arounds are there?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: So you play like within the regular season, you play
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: groups and then once it's like they you finish that,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: you go to the playoffs and you play a quarterfinals.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: But the quarterfinals is the best of three, and then
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: the semi finals best of three, and then the finals
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: best of three.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, it used to be like that in uro Old Cup.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, And so you won it and then you advance
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to another league when you win. It is that right?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they I help them go to another league.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: But then that's when I changed to go to Galchester.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, they take the soccer model of relegation and you
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: know stuff like that.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: So when you go up.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Oh your team gets bumped out, You get bumped, you
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: can get bumped down. Okay, all right, And when y'all
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: won the championship that year, where were you or where
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: do you remember? Where the what shitty the championship was
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: played in?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: So we did like because it was COVID.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Coming off COVID, it was normally you know, you're supposed
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: to play the first first game. It was supposed to
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: be one home home, one away, and then home. But
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: we was the opposing team, like we was the lower seed.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: So we were playing against a team from Russia called
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Unix Kazan and they they was a home the first seed.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: But because of COVID, you couldn't travel back into the
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: front you're with. You had a quarantine like I think
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: ten days or whatever.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, we still had to.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Play domestic league. We played the first game in Monaco
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: and then we were supposed to play two in Russia.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: But we ended up beating them the first game, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: then we beat them the first game in Russia.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: And then it was finished.

  Speaker 3: was the best choice for me.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with the stuff that's going on. Sure going on,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: so I had a polatility, a.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Little bit of turmoil sometimes. Yeah. Did you ever in
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: your life think that you would spend fifteen years overseas
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: in all these different countries, seeing all these different cultures,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: all the different Have you enjoyed most of the food?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: I enjoy most of the food. Almost every place you
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: go to. Almost every place you go to got you know,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: good food. But like Turkey got some of the best,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: like food. I bet I've been to Israel, they got
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: good food. What about in Greece, we.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Can't talk about that. You talk about women, Nah, Okay,

• 24:40
  Speaker 2: allowed to. I didn't know.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I think he's married. So we probably won't go down
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: that road. The majority of the time you're overseas, you said,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you're there for like nine or ten months, but this
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: year you could be there for sure. Are you expecting

  Speaker 3: let's say about forty games maybe maybe?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They love practicing over there.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I would think that you're the point in your career,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: in your life you're kind of over I mean, you
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: work out and I know you're shooting here every day

• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, that's that's too much for me. Right, I came.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And but you've obviously taken care of yourself and you
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and your body because you're you're still playing. Do you
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: feel like you're still playing at a high level?

• 26:10
  Speaker 3: whole career, like my first surgery.

• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you went fifteen years incredible without getting hurt with all
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the ball that you play. Yeah, I mean that's a
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: lot of quick twitch movements not to get hurt. Are
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you do you feel good or one hundred percent?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: I feel good. I think I'm okay. I just it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: a mental thing.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's more mental than anything.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, So how many more years do you want to play?

  Speaker 2: Max?
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I want to do I would say three, but Max

• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Tell me about Dan Mullen and Rick Stansbury talking about you.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: So Dann Mullen came to a to me and Rick
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: and he asked, like, hey, can d play quarterback?
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: And first thing Rick said him, and I was like
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I thought about it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I was like I might consider it, yeah, and Rick
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: was like, nah, you're not even considering.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not letting you. I said, what if I want
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: to play? Here? Was like, I'm not letting you. So

• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be able to handle that.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Can y'all imagine as good an athlete as D boss
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: This if D would have been Dan's first quarterback, running
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the dual threat with Anthony Dixon and maybe even Vic Ballard,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: but that would have been ridiculously I was.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I was a raid quarterback. Yeah, I'm not.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Would you like to throw it?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I loved? I couldn't. I couldn't stand handing the ball
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: off to nobody. That's what we did. We ran. We
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: ran like a spread offense in high school.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: So until you were trying to score.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah I want to score, I'm and I wasn't. I
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: was barely like in high school.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I was real slow, so I couldn't run fast, so
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I was just releasing the ball.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Really hold on, why were you? How how did this?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: You don't look like you were ever slow? No, like
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: you just you still like you.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: If I had the videos, y'all probably would laugh. So
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I don't get faster?
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: How did you get faster? Learning like technique?
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: And I had to do like a lot of like
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: ladder jump rope stuff like that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: But I was like, you couldn't imagine how slow I was?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Really? Yeah, I wouldn't guess that, Okay. So so Dan
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Mullen tries to convince Rick Stansberry to allow d Balls
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: to play quarterback because I mean Dan walked in and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: he had Tyson Lee and Chris Ralph. Now Dan eventually
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: made some things happen with with Ralph, but I mean,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: can you imagine how tall are you? De bossed? With
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Chad Bumpus and Anthony Dixon? This is this could have
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: been illegal in a good way. Yeah, not like the point,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: but also Dan, Dan brought in a Savage strength and
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: conditioning program that then obviously d walked through one day
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and saw the In fact, I think the strength and
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: conditioning coach was named Rick Savage.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I can't remember.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Ki Kiffen has one of Mullen's strength and conditioning coaches
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: right now at at LSU that Dan had at one
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: point Savage Nick Savage. Okay, all right, yeah, isn't that great?
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Coach?
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: D's like, yeah it was Savage, man.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, God, that would have been great, d Boss starting
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: quarterback at Mississippi State, been nice whole. I mean, Dan
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: went to the Gator Bowl in year two at Chris
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Realth think of it. And indeed, yah, so y'all threw
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: it around in high school your senior.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: So man, we threw so we passed a lot. Okay, yeah,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: because I had my brother, Yeah, my mom adopted when
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: we was in fifth grade. He ended up going to
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: end up he was playing a East Mississippi down here
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: while I was at State. Oh that's cool, okay, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: he ended up going to East Carolina, so he was out.

• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Kirby in the last ten years?
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I told, uh, coach Kirby. I want to say
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: about a year ago. Maybe I haven't told you have
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: I told? Actually I told the field was at the
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: beginning of this summer.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, those are my guys I got. I got close
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: to Wreck and Phil and and Kirby, closer to probably Phil.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: But that was a good group that you were.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Well coach, Coach Cunningham was good. All of them was all.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: All that staff was good.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Then Kirby, he's the one that recruited me and stands
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: stands my gutto always.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, do you have a favorite protein? Do you care
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: about pro ball very much?
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: NBA. Yeah, I'm just I like players. Yeah, that's what
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I figured. That's wherever I like Lebron, he works. Lebron
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: gonna go. I hope where.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I mean Philadelphia, boll See.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: You don't think it's Cleveland. Something tells me it is.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Because I think he's about to retire. So he's want
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: to retire, you feel, or he'll do it one year
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: somewhere and that's next year retired Cleveland.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I think. I think he knows the
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: chases one more and then comes back on. So I
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: think it's gonna be Celtics. Maybe I want to say
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Philly of Golden State. But then again, they say in Miami.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: So if he go to Miami.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Don't ever ever count that guy out. Yes, I mean,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: look what he just did with this. Yeah, the guy's
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the best recruiter period. I mean period, He's the best
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: recruiter in the history of the NBA.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Stef Lebron.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: If Lebron gets plugged in Miami, he'll win another He
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: could win another title and go out.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: At who's old. Lebron doesn't age, but he's.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's incredible. At a forty one, he can still
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: play really well. For fifty games at the arbitrary. The
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: guy has taken care of his his body. If he
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: goes to Miami, the Golden State thing, I think that
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: ship is sailed. If if he goes to Miami, they
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: can win another title. I want to go back. We've
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: got one more minute here. You were talking about nikes.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I see you're wearing low tops, so you play with
• 39:52
