I started experiencing something that was different than 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.640 my classmates was. And I was just like, college probably 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.480 not gonna be the next next step for me. 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.280 I could have seen you playing at ote. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.600 Yeah, I probably would have been one of them. I 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.960 probably would have been one of them kids. But you know, 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.079 that's a dope platform for them to have and and 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.240 go out in and be realistic with kids. Man, don't 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.560 waste no, don't waste them kids time, especially you know, 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.199 you know I listen. 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.120 I just left to a you take look, I still 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:42.240 got my still. 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:42.559 Got my band on. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.479 I was coaching this morning with my girls. 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.600 You know who going to college for college and who 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.000 just who going because they got to you know what 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.439 I'm saying. So for these kids to have that platform, 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.520 that's that's dope for them for sure. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.960 When you say your junior and senior year, you experiencing 0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:00.240 different things like what was you doing saying that now 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.880 on crib I did see him on cribs with the 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.800 big as Jersey you're selling out Georgia. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.960 But that day I was my Jerseys hard as Mouffy 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:10.960 I was.

Where was your favorite seed that you played in? 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.160 Played in m h Man Toronto was an amazing year. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.000 I think that's why they didn't resign me. I think 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.360 they knew I liked it too much. NA think about it. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.640 I won my first six Man of the Year and 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.400 they did not offer me a contract to come back. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.880 They was like, you got to go. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.160 Wait, I thought you had kind of you know, I'm 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.160 saying it kind of felt. 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.960 No, No, they kicked me out. Damn, they absolutely kicked 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.000 me out. I think I was I was lifestyle ship. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:42.560 You know, I had a lot going on in the 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.120 family room at that time of my life. In perspect 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.000 the wives probably was like, Yo, they gotta get buddy 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.120 out of here, like, you know, he might be influencing 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.920 our husband's the wrong way. And so, uh yeah, they 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.760 ain't offered me a contract to come back. 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.000 They was like, appreciate everything. It's probably not gonna be 0:11:59.040 --> 0:11:59.679 a fit for us. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:00.600 That's crazy. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.920 And it had nothing to do with basketball, nah, because 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.240 you was killing that year and I heard you tell 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:06.959 a story. I mean, we're gonna get back to when 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:08.280 you first came into the league, but I heard you 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.040 tell a story about Toronto. How tomorrow now kept you 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.080 you feel like you was about to retire and then 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:14.600 to go out and be a six minute of the year. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:15.200 Yeah. 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:19.400 My so I toret my a CL. We was teammates, 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.880 teammates then, so I told my ACL. It took me 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.200 about two years to kind of get my feedback onto me. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.199 But when I came back, I was slow, And before 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.959 I told my a CL, I was explosive, like I 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.400 could finish at the rim, I dunk you. You know 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.440 what I'm saying, Like I had speed, and then when 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.320 I came back, I had to change my whole game. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.959 And Mike Butdenholzer he told me, like he put me 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.839 in the office, like, Yo, we're gonna find a trade partner. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.960 We don't think that's gonna work here. You know, you'll 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.480 never be the same player that you was. We don't 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.160 think you'll ever be the same player again. 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:54.160 And damn I fucked with coach, but he told me 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:54.679 to my face. 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.599 I respected it. But the next year I win my 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.080 first six man he called me. He was like, I 0:12:59.120 --> 0:12:59.840 was wrong as fuck. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.520 That's my bad. You know what I'm saying. 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:02.360 Yeah, he was wrong. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.960 So once when I got to Toronto, I had that 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.720 in the back of my mind, like, you know, this 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.440 might be the end of the road, you know for me, 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.560 that was, uh, what was the year? 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.280 I think that was my eleventh to twelfth year in. 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.840 The league, So you know, I had a full, full 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.280 career at that point. I felt really good about the 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.080 things I was able to accomplish, and so I thought 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.680 Toronto was gonna be my last year. So I told him, like, Yo, 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.320 this is gonna be my last year. I'm gonna play 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:30.520 it out and then it's whatever. And Kyle Larry, Damar DeRozan, 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.559 Amir Johnson, Chuck Hayes, they was my four teammates, and 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.839 they was like, brouh if you're gonna if this is 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.080 gonna be your last year, man, you're finna go out swinging. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.120 We're just gonna feed you the ball and just have 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.160 fun and just do your thing. And that's that's what 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.400 they did. They supported me, wrap their arms around me. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.760 I think Toronto being out of the country saved my 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.040 career because it kept me away from a lot of distractions. 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.120 It made me just focus on basketball until I got 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.560 to a point where I could start focusing on some 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:58.160 other things. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.520 But it just it just locked me back in. 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.200 And that was one of the best years I had 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.040 and it rejuvenated everything. And the five years that I 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.960 had after there was the best years of my career. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:10.120 That's crazy. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.920 I didn't get people to put their arms around me 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.080 when I was going down. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.240 Hey, Yo, that's nuts. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.160 Why are you thirsty for that? 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:22.760 That's crazy. I gotta thirsty for her. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.280 I mean, listen, man, I was, I was having a 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.720 bad time. They just kicked me go on a head 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:30.000 and leave. 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:30.240 Bro. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.920 That's why I make jokes about them now. But anyway, 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.480 we ain't ever get Bucks tickets. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:36.880 They ain't give it to me. I don't care. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.040 Somebody asked me about that earlier in the crowd, like, 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.000 you ever get them season tickets for the Bucks? Nah, 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:43.640 they ain't coming in the mill. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.080 No, they ain't rocking with you. 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:45.560 No. 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.440 I ain't been to a Hawks game this year. They 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:48.400 charged me for tickets. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.040 Oh the Hawks charge you. 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.880 They sound kind of crazy, you know, they charged us. 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.240 I don't take a personal no more to hear the 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:01.680 scene appreciate because I had to pay for Yeah. 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.080 I'm I'm on strike right now. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:04.320 Man. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.640 They asked me to do all this other ship for him. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.680 But but they asked me to pay for tickets when 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.440 I come to game. So I watched on TV. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.120 Boosy corseide I little will we gotta talk about it. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:13.880 That's out of pocket. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:14.840 It's crazy. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.840 That's the only team that I've played for that don't 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.560 accommodate me. Yeah, it's unfortunate, but. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:22.920 They're gonna get it done. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:24.160 This is business. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.240 Is all good, for sure, But how was it coming 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.440 into the league as a teenager and you get to 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:29.960 play with Alan iverson. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.560 Mind blowing because if anybody know my game, I pattered 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.960 my game, I pattered my staff. After that, after Ai 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.600 so coming in, I was terrified of the dude, Like 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.000 I was scared that what he was gonna say, how 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.840 he was gonna treat me or whatever, because a lot 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.320 of times you don't want to meet the person that 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:49.960 you look up to because they probably gonna let you 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.280 down with how they are. So I was like, damn, man, 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.080 I've been looking up to this dude my whole life. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.440 I would hate for him to be the person that 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.760 I end up not fucking with on his team. 0:15:58.840 --> 0:15:59.600 When Jeff. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:06.400 I met him, what was the. 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:09.000 Allegation? 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.760 This is all that was right on top.

You ain't got the backroom? 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:11.480 Do we do? 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:12.399 It's just hard. 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.760 You got the backroom. It's a little difficult. Now you 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:15.680 still got the backroom. 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.000 Nah, the back room was a league. 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.040 See, my kids, they done got to the age they 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.280 know who I am. Now they googling their YouTube. And 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.280 now I got a teenager. I don't know where the 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:29.040 time went, but I got a teenage daughter now. So yeah, 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:30.679 I'm dealing with some different type of pressure. 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:31.680 Now she hooping too. 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.639 Yeah, she do a thing. She went crazy this morning. 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:37.640 How is that? 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:39.840 Like obviously becoming the father and now your kid like 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.000 loves what you love, like to share that passion. 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:42.520 How is that? 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.800 It's crazy? It's it's surreal. But it's because our culture. 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.719 I have to find like middle ground from being her 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:52.560 dad and a coach, you know what I'm saying. And 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:55.480 like one time she said something to me and I 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:56.879 told her to come here. She said, I got it. 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:58.160 I said no, no, no, I'm talking to you. 0:21:58.160 --> 0:21:58.480 Your dad. 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:00.480 You ain't gonna talk back to me, you know what 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.199 I'm saying. But we have to have that balance of 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:05.000 you know, all of us when we get to it. 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.480 When we get thirteen, fourteen years old, themn the years 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.679 were trying to get away from our parents, you know. 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:12.040 So I try not to be overbearing, be out of 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.920 her way and just culture and allow to just allow 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:19.000 her the opportunity to build with her teammates. But basketball 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.800 has made our relationship stronger as a father, as a 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.600 and as a parent because she's getting to know me 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.520 on a different level of you know, just being a parent. 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.640 You know, in the season, man, you you really your 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:32.840 weekend dad for real, because you're always on the road. 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:35.200 You're always moving around. When you come in the house, 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:37.320 you're trying to put your foot down. You're trying to 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.840 be this this person that like I run my house. 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.520 But the reality is you always outside of the crib. 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.840 And so for me to be retired going on two years, 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:49.280 being able to spend so much time with my kids, 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:51.959 our relationships have gotten so much stronger than I can 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:55.679 appreciate where it is because this is where I always 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:57.760 wanted to be as a parent, Like having a super 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.880 special bond with my kids. And so my daughters got 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:03.800 into the hooping being able to guide her through that 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:05.879 and then now my baby girl just start hooping. I 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.840 think she started hooping on the strength of her big sister. 0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:15.480 So yeah, how. 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.080 You feel about like, you know, you a hooper. 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:20.240 So being a part of girls basketball, it's a totally 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:21.439 different game than the boys. 0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.520 It's completely different, especially coaching it. Bro you gotta be 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:27.639 you gotta coach girls completely different than you coach boys. 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:29.320 See, boys, you can have a. 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.119 Six six sixty seven boy that don't know how to 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.840 tie tied shoes, shoe bowlgum at the same time, and 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.119 you could throw them on the floor. Women don't have 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.919 the athletic ability that boys do. So you literally got 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.240 to slow down and teach them the fundamentals. And that's 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.800 why you get a much much pure game of basketball 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.879 on the women's side, because you teach them more boys, 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:49.720 you cut a lot of corners, you know what I'm saying, 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:51.919 You will cut a lot of the fundamentals out of 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:54.560 out of teaching them because of the athletic ability. 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:56.359 With girls, you teach them, and you teach them, and 0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:57.240 you teach them and. 0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.320 That's the that's you get the best, the best brand 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.159 of basketball you can. So it's been fun. You got 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:05.800 to be more patient with girls because the attitude is different. 0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:09.920 The attitudes is different with the girls. Man, But I 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:10.960 enjoy it though. 0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:13.119 She hooped like you or what's your game?

I 0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:39.960 coach eighth grade, and we also got a ninth grade team. 0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:41.879 So when you when you're there every day and you 0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:44.400 invest in these kids, like I fly home every weekend 0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:47.600 from LA to literally coach these kids, you know what 0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:50.320 I'm saying. And so I don't see I ain't really 0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:52.320 looking in the future. I don't see me coaching boys 0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.880 or men in the NBA. I'm connected with lot girls now. Yeah, 0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:57.560 I'm locked in with the girls now. 0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:57.920 All right? 0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:00.760 For sure, Obviously we know you Atl you was here 0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:02.600 when they was really going crazy. I know you probably 0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:04.720 watched it being meth serious, But how was it being 0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:07.400 in the city being a little well during that time, period. 0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:10.320 I was a kid. I was a kid. A lot 0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:11.960 of a lot of crazy shit that I saw. I 0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.920 thought it was normal. Like I've been to a I've 0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.840 been to a club Club one twelve for all the 0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:24.040 OG's and all the older I ain't. Yeah, so some 0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:26.639 of y'all remember Club one twelve. I remember going to 0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:31.760 a BMF party and they had trash cans of champagne. 0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:34.560 But I thought that. I thought that was a normal thing. 0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:37.800 That I'm seventeen years old in the club, so I'm 0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:41.600 everybody literally imagine everybody in here got a bottle of champagne. 0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:44.640 Now you could just go grab one whatever you want. 0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:48.160 I thought that was the norm. So seeing that and 0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:52.080 knowing that that shit is far from normal, BMM set 0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:53.639 a different type of standard in the city. 0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:55.400 They set a different type of standard. 0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:58.160 So I didn't realize what I was experiencing until I 0:27:58.200 --> 0:27:59.159 got educated on it. 0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:00.840 But I seen it with my own two eyes. 0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:02.479 Oh yeah, there was no way you would have went 0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:04.480 to college after seeing that, That's what I'm. 0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:04.959 Trying to tell you. 0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.440 I was like, it's no way I'm going to school 0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:08.720 and getting up at five in the morning. 0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:10.400 Let somebody yell at me off fucking day. 0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:14.520 I wish I would have seen that for real, Bro, 0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.840 it wouldn't be no twenty pockets. Yeah, it would be 0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:18.560 way different. 0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:28.600 I've been a pack man another motherfucking. 0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:30.560 What about. 0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:34.879 But obviously, man, you still watch the game still floors. 0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:37.080 Who would you say young players right now that you 0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:39.520 say kind of modern like your game, like you can 0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:40.240 see yourself in. 0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:47.120 It ain't a lot of them. Malik Malik Monk is 0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:50.960 close to it. Yeah, Malik Malik Monk. I got I 0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:53.160 got Malik Monks my six Man of the Year. If 0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.720 not him, I like nas reed in Minnesota for six 0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:58.320 Man of the Year this year. But Malik, you could 0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.400 tell he's one of them guys that pick up from 0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:02.720 a lot of guys. I can see some remnists of 0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:05.360 how playing his game, and you know he take that 0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:08.440 and he make it his own ship. But Malik is 0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:12.600 one of those guys. Quickly is another one of those guys. 0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:13.920 He said it, you know, he. 0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:15.959 Said it gave me my flowers to my face, like, bro, 0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.440 like you was my favorite player growing up and that 0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:21.400 was that was that was dope to experience that, you know, 0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:24.680 especially with just being a six man, you know, not 0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:27.360 to undercut my career. But you know, I wasn't an 0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:29.920 All Star, wasn't a superstar. So to have some young 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:33.520 kids pattern their games after mind, that's you know, that's 0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:34.880 that's like the biggest honor to me. 0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.120 And that's one thing I want to say, Like niggas 0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.320 is say superstar whatever. But you meant a lot more 0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:42.320 to people off the court just as much as you 0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:43.840 did on the course. So I think that does put 0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:46.560 you at a superstar status, bro, because we look at 0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:50.479 you totally different. Like that might be critically acclaimed, but 0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:52.600 the respect level, I think especially Y'll talk about that 0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:54.720 a lot. The respect that you give from people is 0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:56.640 way more than that. How do you feel about that? Like, 0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:58.000 I know you probably should get more. 0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.160 You'll just do. But to everybody who's he you know 0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:01.680 what it is like, it's always respectful. 0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:04.600 I'm at peace for my career. Yeah, I'm at peace 0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:06.840 with my career because I got the respect from my peers. 0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:08.000 You know what I'm saying. 0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:11.320 If you talk to NBA players and people in the circle, 0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:14.440 the NBA circle, I always give my flowers, I always 0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:16.520 give my respect. And that's the only thing that's ever 0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.080 mattered to me. The people that I've competed against the 0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:22.480 people that I've competed with. They always say that I 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:26.800 impacted the game positively, and that's it. So never being 0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:30.800 an All Star, I could care less. Never getting a ring, 0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:35.880 I care but I could care less. Never being a superstar, 0:30:36.080 --> 0:30:39.320 never making you know, the big money, I could care 0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:42.400 less because at the end of the day, I enjoyed 0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:44.600 this game from a standpoint of being a kid. 0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:45.800 I learned how to play basketball when. 0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:47.480 I was five years old, and I was able to 0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:50.120 feed my family and make a living off of just 0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:53.640 playing basketball. So with that alone, I'm cool. I'm at 0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:56.200 peace with everything and how it went for me, for sure. 0:30:56.320 --> 0:30:56.920 No facts. 0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:59.560 I remember you saying you changed when you came to 0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:02.360 the team, changed every way I looked at like the NBA. 0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:05.120 I remember one day I was complaining about something and 0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:07.200 you was hurt. That's when you're at Toyo a cl 0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:08.760 and you was training. He was doing the stuff with 0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:10.680 Pete and we was in the training room and you 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:13.800 was like, bro, you tripping. You know, we get paid 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:17.680 to play a kids game. And I was looking at him, 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.320 I'm like, now, nigg you. 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.920 Understand, like they ain't passed me the ball last night. 0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:25.480 You like now, I said, kids game, Bro, you get 0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.960 paid to play a kids game. And after that day 0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:29.920 I looked at it different, like, dangn we really get 0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:31.680 paid a lot of money to go do something that 0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:33.320 we was doing as a kid for free. 0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:35.880 Cause we get we get wrapped up in ourselves, and 0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:39.040 we get wrapped up in ourselves and we just kind 0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:41.280 of lose sight of like big pictures. It's like, Bro, 0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:43.360 we're stressing about some shit that we first of all, 0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:45.600 we can't change it. Yeah, it's gonna be what it's 0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:47.680 gonna be, you know what I'm saying, So why stress 0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:48.120 about it? 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:48.640 And that's how. 0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:50.920 That's how. But the game made me like that just 0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:52.200 from from experiences. 0:31:52.200 --> 0:31:55.720 Bro, Yeah it's different. Bro, you had a different mindset. 0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.680 I think I'm want to get off basketball for a 0:31:58.680 --> 0:32:01.800 little bit, but you kind of messed up my life. 0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:05.400 You said that to say this. 0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:09.280 Yeah, I had to get back to the real because 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:12.240 me and you was hanging out and you had whips. 0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:12.440 Bro. 0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:15.560 So I used to call I had a challenger, no 0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:19.040 no shape, anybody got a challenger, but because you want challenge, 0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:23.880 I had a challenge.

I never really cared about like what 0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:46.760 was going on, always just. 0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:47.280 In a moment. 0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.600 And my homies to tell you, I got the worst 0:33:49.680 --> 0:33:52.920 memory when it comes to basketball stuff because I play 0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:55.080 a game deleted from my head and get ready for 0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:55.760 the next one.

Oh, 0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:06.640 I remember Buddy by the tree over there. 0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:11.720 No, but I want to ask you, because you. 0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:14.560 Starting a podcast and you got it going, how was 0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:17.080 that like transitioning from basketball? How you asked me? How 0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:19.879 you will never imagine me doing this, like what it's 0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:20.439 like for you. 0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:24.600 I'm figuring. I'm figuring it out, bro. Yeah, because I'm 0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:27.560 very much like t I don't really like talking, and 0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:30.600 the podcast it puts you into space to kind of 0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:32.960 talk about other people a lot. Yeah, and I don't 0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:34.879 I don't care to have an opinion on I don't 0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:36.799 care who fucking who. I don't care who dating who. 0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:39.960 And so we're trying to we're trying to find our lane. 0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:43.600 And when I'm spanking, shout out to spank Horden moves, 0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:46.120 my my co host on the on the show, we 0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:48.560 found a good vibe where we can talk about comedy, 0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:51.880 we can talk about some lifestyle stuff. So to me, 0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:54.760 I'm more interested in the comedy world. He more interested 0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:57.279 in the basketball world. So he asked me a bunch 0:34:57.320 --> 0:34:59.120 of basketball questions. I can ask him a bunch of 0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:01.319 comedy questions, and then we can meet in the middle 0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:02.800 when we start talking about lifestyle. 0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:04.560 So it worked for us, you know what I'm saying. 0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:07.799 That's why we're gonna be very selective about who we 0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:10.439 bring on the podcast because everybody's story don't make sense 0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:12.759 to what we want, you know what I'm saying. Even 0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:15.560 when we clip up stuff, we value the labs more 0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.919 than we value the controversy, you know what I'm saying. 0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:19.840 So a lot of our clips that come out, it'd 0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:21.960 be more for the labs and the comedy, the lighthearder 0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:26.320 shit opposed to know the controversy and all the other shit. 0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:28.280 And I gotta ask it's a question for both y'all. 0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:30.520 Like the way you see how the NBA is covered 0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:33.239 and media's covered now that y'all have platforms, Like you said, 0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:34.640 you do it the honorable way. We do it the 0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:37.080 honorable way to see other people like kind of do 0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:39.000 it differently. It kind of adds more value to that. 0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:40.719 How do you feel now that you can kind of 0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:42.080 be able to say, all right, I can talk to 0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:43.720 these young players, I can talk to these young comments 0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:46.200 and get to a platform from all positivity rather than 0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:47.680 trying to catch the TMD bullshit. 0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:50.279 Yeah, it's cool to have your platform. I think some 0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:54.279 of us shouldn't have platforms. Tweet you did what I'm saying. 0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:57.360 I think some of us shouldn't be talking. But everybody's 0:35:57.400 --> 0:35:59.920 free to have their opinions. I think it's too much opinions. 0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:02.520 I think it's too much information out there. Like every 0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.279 day we probably we turning the journalists. We might see 0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:07.800 a clip or something that might not even be true, 0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.920 and we might debate that shit all day with our homies. 0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:11.799 You know what I'm saying. 0:36:11.800 --> 0:36:13.880 We spend so much time in other people business, in 0:36:13.920 --> 0:36:16.680 other people backyards that we kind of lose sight of, 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.040 you know, having your own, your own opinion. 0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:21.720 I think we were too deep into group thinking. 0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:25.680 So with everybody having podcasts and just trying to find 0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:29.560 your vehicle the best way you can.

Bro. 0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:52.799 I don't know. 0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:54.839 I don't know. 0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:58.480 Uh, I'm gonna take it how it went, Bro, I 0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:01.480 think you know it went how it went for me. 0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:04.360 It wasn't the ideal. It wasn't ideal for me to 0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:06.360 come off the bench. I would have liked to start it. 0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:08.799 I would have liked to been a feature guard on 0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:11.279 a team. But it just didn't go down like that, 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:13.560 you know what I'm saying. But I'm blessed to have 0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.359 eighteen thousand career points off the bench, which is which 0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:20.719 is legendary in itself. So I take my career how 0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:22.960 I went, So I take my three six men. Okay, 0:41:23.080 --> 0:41:23.879 I appreciate it. 0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:25.280 Good question. 0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:28.279 I got a question for you, Lou. Do you think 0:41:28.320 --> 0:41:30.160 the award should be named after you and Jamal? 0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:31.120 Absolutely? 0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:32.680 Yeah. They gotta change that man. 0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:35.600 Yeah, sure, And I tell you I would appreciate it 0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:38.040 either way. Either they can name it after Jamal or 0:41:38.080 --> 0:41:39.719 name it after me, one or the other. I think 0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:43.320 we both changed it, we transcended it. Always when this 0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:47.439 conversation come up, I always picked myself because I made 0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:50.319 it like, I made it a cool thing to be, 0:41:51.000 --> 0:41:54.160 you know what I'm saying. And I think Jamal's path 0:41:54.200 --> 0:41:55.880 in my path was different. He was he was a 0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:58.480 feature guard. He had opportunities to be that. I think 0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:00.719 later on in his career he became I'm a six man. 0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:04.040 I was a six man from early on, you know. 0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:06.399 So it was always my it was always my route, 0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:09.120 it was always my role. So anytime it come up, 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:11.799 only for that reason, I always give myself to nod 0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:14.360 and I say, yeah, I always say it should be 0:42:14.400 --> 0:42:16.000 me because only because of that. 0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:18.439 But yeah, we made it cool. 0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:21.040 But I would appreciate it if they changed the name. 0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:24.160 We thought me and Jamal always behind the scenes, we 0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:26.600 was like, yeah, were about to that shit about to be. 0:42:26.640 --> 0:42:28.279 Named after one of us, you know what I'm saying. 0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:31.520 And then they went to John Havlicek, who got eleven championship. 0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:33.440 I didn't get that one. 0:42:33.719 --> 0:42:34.080 I didn't. 0:42:34.080 --> 0:42:35.920 I didn't get that one even but much respect to 0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:37.719 him and his family and the things that he was 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:39.440 able to do on the court, I just thought he 0:42:39.520 --> 0:42:40.920 should have been me and Me or Jamal. 0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:45.600 It should have been what's up? Peace, Gods? This question 0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:47.799 is for lou and for Jeff. I wanted to know 0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:53.480 who's on your Mount Rushmore of Atl Metro area basketball players, 0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:54.560 that's Louke. 0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:09.920 So that's four spots, uh Me, Dwight Howard, Sharif Afdoor Rahm, 0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:11.960 and I throw one of the young guys in there. 0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:17.960 I split between Sharif Cooper and a man. Sharif did it. 0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:20.239 Sharif is legendary in the city for what he did 0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:23.719 for high school basketball. So that fourth spot I was 0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:28.640 split between Sharif and Man. And the only reason I 0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:31.120 always say this, but the only reason I leave Josh 0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:33.120 Smith out of this is because he transferred to Okill. 0:43:33.440 --> 0:43:35.840 Other than that, Josh was putting pressure on the whole city. 0:43:36.239 --> 0:43:38.080 But then he transferred out and then he went out 0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:40.799 of state. So that's the only reason I don't add Josh. 0:43:40.880 --> 0:43:43.840 Yeah, I'm from Indianapolis. I don't know. I don't know 0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:47.360 ato basketball.
