One was when I 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.320 when I got drafted with the Jimmy jim That was 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.480 the crazy situation and that was just messy as soon 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.000 as I just got I just got in walking to 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.960 the hill in the middle of it. And then I 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.480 feel like last year when we uh we got Katie, 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:05.320 that was crazy too. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:11.080 I was trying to make sure I don't want to 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.640 be in these because you know, but you know, when 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.919 bos tweet, it's just like one tweet like Phoenix Suns 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.200 a choir Kevin Durant. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.440 I'm like, okay, cool, who who the other team acquiring? Though, 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.080 you know what I'm saying. So those two moments, I 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.440 would say like they were like one of the biggest moments. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.960 That's crazy, that's you started your rookie year in Minnesota. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.960 I was at the first time I linked up because 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.000 he was already there obviously. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.840 Yeah, it's crazy because I remember Tims Tibbs was my dog, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.760 you know, me and Tims was tight. So when we 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.200 was doing the draft process, I seen him play at 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.520 Georgia Tech and I've seen the other rookie, which was Cater. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.840 They was debating on picking him or Kater at that spot, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.320 and I'm like, luckily we end up getting both. But 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.479 I was like, now that Nigga played hard, that's you 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.040 tips and he was like, yeah, run through the wall. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.280 So I knew he was getting When I came there, 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.440 I was already hyped to know him, like play because 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.840 I knew who he was. Washington play because it's me 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.120 and Tim was looking at film over so I was like, came, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.440 introduce myself and he was real cool, it's cool ship, 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:17.080 that's what's up. 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:17.320 Bro. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.280 I wanted to take it back to the beginning though, Bro, 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.400 when did you come back or when did you move 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.760 to the stage from Legos how much? 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.920 Yeah, I was born in you know, Legos, Nigeria. I 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.800 moved to the stage when I was three. That much. 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:33.880 I ain't spend too I don't even remember. I don't 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.560 even remember. But I've been back a couple of times, 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.280 so I know who's who. When it comes to like 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.680 extended family and kind of around the cities, and stuff, 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.840 but being born there, I don't I don't remember.

And I 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.400 went outside one day and I was just like, ship 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.439 fucking let me try. Ever since that one one day 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.319 on driveway, I just fell in love with it. When 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.480 did you realize he was like really cold? Uh? When 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.520 I started playing like organized basketball, I was playing some 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.319 some bs. When I started playing organized basketball, it was 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.800 like sixth grade, and I like, I was the last 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.600 one picked on the team on these one I made 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.520 the teams. I was tall. I was this hyped for 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.959 like the longest damn yep, And so they picked They 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.240 picked me up like I was five eleven, like eighth grade, 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.360 six feet and eighth grade. So they choice they picked 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.360 me up in the sixth grade is because I was tall. 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.160 Like I didn't even practice with the team. That's how 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.480 I said. I was first day of practice, like they practicing, 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.160 I'm on the side doing mic and drills. Fuck fucking 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.040 it up. And I was happy though, because in my mind, 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.440 I'm like I've never received instruction before from like somebody 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.880 who knows the game of basketball. So like you know, 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.640 you might see like dang, like that's embarrassing. I wasn't embarrassed. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.480 I was having the time of my life doing MICA 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:50.400 and drift four hour, five times a week. Start breaking 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:58.079 down the stats I got. I got so good so quick, 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.400 like a boy seventh grader the same team, because you know, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.160 it's sixth grade and then he comes seventh grade. By 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.840 seventh grade, I was starting. I went from not playing 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.040 in the sixth grade. When you know, like you get 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.560 a blown out. I was in the coach put all 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.440 the sorry, I still didn't getting it. We beat it. 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.800 I will never forget this. We beat a team forty 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.400 eight to eight. D I didn't play coach you satisfied. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:27.320 Coach would have got in name drop, he would have 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.040 been on that bench with him. We ain't gonna do that. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.200 Finish your story. But no, But by that seventh grade 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.640 I was, I was starting, and I was like one 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.480 of like the best players on the team. So it 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.920 took a year and I learned, learned real quick, and 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.680 then just just kept elevating from there. So they was 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.040 grooming you to be a center or you always been 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.200 groomed to be a PG low No, they were they 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.640 was I played the post. I ain't. I ain't come 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:56.880 out that post to to like c P three. Eleventh 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:01.200 grade for real, Damn. Eleventh is when I but I was. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.040 I won like a post, like a I was like 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.920 a Yiannis. I'm not trying to I'm not trying to 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:08.560 compare myself. 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.160 I was in a sense where you could do stuff 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:14.240 perimeter wise. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.280 I'm not out there shooting trades, but if I get 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.840 the rebound, there's not people looking at me. Like I 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.920 was question that I initiated the offense because usually the 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.760 other center would be on but I was always fast, 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.240 so the other center used to guard me. I just 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.040 go by him and as soon as somebody come, I'm 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.160 passing by the shooters. So it was like I was 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.960 a post player. I didn't shoot threes, but like I 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.760 could dribble and I could pass finish. It was a 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.079 wing on that CP three, but CB three, I was 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.080 a wing. That's when I but by that time I 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.480 had already established like a jump out shooting jumpers, trades 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:48.880 or phill ups. Well, other league uh players on your team, 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.240 but it was me, Harry Giles and Grant Williams. So 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.840 you never played with THEO. No, I never played with you. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.280 Harry Giles was that's. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.600 Probably I'm not injurieshigh school. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.320 I'm not gonna say one that that was the best 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:07.520 player I've had as a teammate in high school. It 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.160 is how like on Instagram was legit. I remember my 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.520 first time because I had to leave my my E 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.640 Y B O team to go to CP three because 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.880 I was originally with Southern Stampede and I moved to 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.560 CP three and they were like, look if. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.080 You go to c P three. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.120 Ain't no coming back. But I ain't like the team. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.520 So I'm like, man, I'm just gonna better myself. I'm 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.920 gonna go ahead to this. They didn't really have try out, 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:31.840 but it was practice to see if they them. So 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.280 I went through. You know, I went out there to 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.040 practice in North Carolina and you know, we running. They 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:41.560 told me to go set a screen for uh for Harry. 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.960 Set a screen for Harry. I ain't set already set screens, 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:52.200 you know what they said, set the screen for har Harry. 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.840 So I'm like, I'm this coach. I'm the new new environment, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.920 so I gotta listen. So I set a screen for Harry, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.000 and niggas came through snake that bit. I told them 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.520 they look, bro, how many screens. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:09.080 That ship was. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.559 But that ship was impressive. But he had m VP 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.079 that season. We ain't losing. He lost like one or 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.440 two games. We were regular season champs. Look it up. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.080 We lost on some bullshit to Jason Tatum's team in 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.040 the final four. That game on YouTube. Yeah, it was crazy. 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:28.000 I remember it was tie game and Ceep. You know, 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.640 he coaching his ass off. He like, no matter what 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.000 we do, we're gonna take the last shot of the game. 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.160 He drawed a playoff for Harry. Harry went a little 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.800 early left hook, hit that motherfucker. They called time out. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.080 We up two or three seconds left, so we all 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.440 thinking this ship about to go to Jason. Everybody in 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.320 tennis on Jason many I don't even know his name. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.400 They had a point guard. He just dribbled like five 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.640 times down the right side of the court and shot it. 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.840 And then one of our players contested and he like 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.640 double clutches. It's bout half court and I'm under the 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.160 goal and I'm looking at the trajectory of that whole ship. 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:10.800 I'm like, Bro, this motherfucker is cash number. That game over. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.360 We're done, motherfucker. Hello hell a million views on YouTube 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.560 to get blasted by the Georgia Stars. Bro. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.800 Who else was on Jason Tatum team. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.800 I think it was just him. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.960 He didn't he would He played with somebody else in 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.280 high school though, to another league nigga, But I think 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.600 they only came together for a couple of tournament. 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:32.840 And I had like a similar role on that team. 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.680 I used to guard the other team best player, right, 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.040 and you know, I guarded mylik he was cold I 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:43.880 think he might was Arkansas, but I think damn. I 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.320 can't think who Jason plays. But Jason was probably like 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.280 the only player at that age where I'll say, like 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:53.280 his footwork was so ahead of like he would post up, 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.040 mad post got the I'm like, I don't know which 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.560 way this nigga about. He would go to the high school. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.760 I think he was Dooley on his Saint Louis team. 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.080 Y'all played the Saint Louis St. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:03.400 Louis. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:03.720 Yeah. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:04.000 St. 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:05.680 Louis, That's what it was called. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.720 Yah.

I respect that probably the most advanced player. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.560 I'm trying to think who else was on that circuit. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:27.160 Bro Miles bag is pretty good too, though. Yeah, he 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.680 was just bigger and stronger than everybody when we was younger, 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:33.080 like athletic, just move out.

That's a great 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:52.800 NBA comparison. 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.120 It is sure, but obviously he was killing the high 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:56.840 school and it got time to make them college decisions. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.680 We know you went to Georgia Tech, but if you didn't, 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.000 what was the school that almost got you? 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.119 Uh, Tennessee.

I mean that now so 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:53.280 I can talk all the ship I wanted the year 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.120 I left, Uh, the next year there was they were Adidas. 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.639 You made the best college choice because s c C. 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:03.240 We wasn't really cracking back and also, uh, Tennessee they 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.199 had like Hella sophomores, Hella juniors when I was going in, 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.600 so I was like, I'm all about competition, you know, 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.960 I love to compete, but I'd rather go somewhere else 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.120 with the odds are more in my favorite And as 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.399 soon as I got there, it was like I was rolling. 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.000 So it was it was like you said, it was 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.399 the best best decisions. Sure, bro shout out to. 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:24.280 Russell and ACC was the best conference basketball by far 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:24.840 at that point. 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:26.960 But I close. 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:29.960 How was it like playing in Cameron in Door? Like 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.600 I was like playing and what's what's the USC ship? 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.280 It's not the Dean Dome as well, It's like, how 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:36.920 was it playing in them like historic places? 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.240 Because like you don't get that everywhere in college basketball. 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.919 Okay, so Cameron and Door and a deem Dome are 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:47.320 two hostile environments. But I rather play. I'm not saying 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:49.840 I'd rather play because I don't. I don't really it 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:54.840 doesn't matter to me. But Dean Dome was less hostile facts. 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.440 And why I say that is like Cameron, indoor has seeking. 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:00.920 It holds three thousand people. You taking that ball out 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:05.879 of bounds. They they scratching your neck like you that's right, bro, 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:10.480 it's a floor bounce like it's it's loudest because it's small. 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.480 It's not. I mean, it's popular, but it's not as 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:13.640 big as you might think. Bro. 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:15.840 Yeah, I didn't realize that time got older. Like seeing 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:17.880 on TV, I'm like damn, and I got like damn. 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:21.560 That's a little it's very small but large guest locker 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:25.919 room everything. It's like, hey you damn. But then Cameron, 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.720 I'm not Cameron. The Dean Dome is huge. So it's 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:30.879 like they're yelling and they loud as hell, but they 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:33.680 like back there, like you're not even worried about them 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:34.240 for really. 0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:36.400 Like they yells like echoed, like yeah. 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:39.720 It was still I thought it still loud, but it's 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:43.080 just like over there, but like it's like you're feeling 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.160 like they're right behind the bench, like they are right 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.680 behind the bench. It was crazy. And then the team, 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.159 the teams that both they had that they had at 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.320 the time made it worse too. Cause when I played, 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:56.560 because I didn't play in the Dean Dom to my 0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:03.240 sophomore year and I played, and I played in Camerinon 0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:06.560 or my rookie year, my freshman year. But my freshman 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:15.960 year they had, Boy, we got smacked. They had Frank Jackson, 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:20.120 Grayson Allen on one wing shooting coming. They ran floppy 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.760 Grayson Allen coming off one way, Luke Cannard coming the 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:29.560 other way. Harry Giles said, one screen, Jason Tatum. Then 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:31.800 they got a mel Jefferson who twenty four, but I 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:38.199 was seventeen in college. I actually ended up beeting but 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:41.440 he was twenty four. Facts, I just turned twenty five. 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:43.720 Helicovera years man. 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:44.560 I played with him. 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.480 I'm like, bro, but they they were really good, bro, 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:52.399 and we got like we got smacked by I remember 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.040 I put on Instagram because he was on ESPN, like yo, 0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:57.280 tune in esp I did that shit, I have time, bro. 0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:05.359 I snapped my phone and deleted that to shy, like man, 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:10.359 see this ship. I'm turning this ship off, Brot clip. 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.199 The thing is, we had a good game, but it 0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.240 was just like that was a protein. It was like 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:18.600 we were hit the two, they hit the three. We 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:20.879 turned the ball over, they hit a three, hit a 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.480 free throw one for two, they hit the three's. It 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.280 scored three to nine and we ain't really do nothing. 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:28.400 And that's how the whole game. But I think it's 0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:31.040 called one hundred points one hundred points bro in college 0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.040 because you know, I was like whatever, But back then, 0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:39.080 Brot in college, Bro, that's a lot.

I disokayed to my finger and 0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.080 the bone came out the skin. So that actually made 0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.360 me miss the first eight games of my sophomore season. 0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:44.920 So when I came back, I came back mad, just like, 0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:48.040 you know what, I ain't come back to this school 0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:50.440 next year.

But it's still good to see 0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:49.760 your name every once in a while on the boards. 0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:51.120 So I stopped looking at the boys and I'm just 0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:53.280 gonna put my head down work.

Like, well, and during 0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:23.280 the season, at what point were you being a gym 0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:24.960 for four hours out basketball and then just. 0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:26.880 Go out there and go They just trying to mental 0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:30.200 mentally break you.

He 0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:49.200 proved that ship he did now for he's and he 0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:52.280 had swag doing it, and he felt like his poison 0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.080 like he's been doing this for a minute at the 0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:54.959 NFL level, that's all. 0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:57.959 It took over a franchise and low key, I mean, 0:32:57.960 --> 0:32:58.680 we gotta see what's up. 0:32:58.760 --> 0:33:00.680 I rich, I think at the rich and come back solid. 0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:04.280 But he low key took over a division because before 0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:06.880 this year they was all talking about Trevor Lawrence. We 0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:10.480 ain't heard Treyl lawreces name.

You know 0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:33.800 what they are. I'm not I'm not even talking about 0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:36.120 his ex and those. They just need a coach that 0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:40.600 got some pool. Yeah that no people, you know what 0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:43.280 I'm saying.

And kids don't kids, Like I said, 0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:51.320 I dealt with that shit too. I know how it is. 0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.680 A kid like, man, I gotta do this work. And 0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:55.800 I was always a good student, like my GPA was 0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:58.080 high in school. I was always smart, but just having 0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:01.080 to like, man, I gotta put you just want to 0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:02.400 hoop as a kid, I don't want to have to 0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:04.120 go to class and do this essay and it'd be 0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:06.560 hard as hell, you know what I'm saying. So but 0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:08.359 if I know I'm gonna play for a coach who 0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:11.720 got some league connects, who who cool being in my shoes, 0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:13.400 playing in the league, did all that stuff, I'm like 0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:16.000 I might be able to be like, Okay, I'm happy. 0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:19.000 I'm gonna deal with them with I can play for 0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:20.560 that coach. I mean, we ain't had that type of 0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:22.120 coach in a long time. 0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:22.799 That's real. 0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.080 Yeah, And like you said, if you now, you gotta 0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:26.400 do this now. It's different when you go to a 0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:28.840 college and you either got that big brand pool or 0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.040 you got it from the coaches, got the connections. 0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:31.759 You went there. 0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:33.319 You said you had a coach who didn't make I 0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:34.840 had all the resources and it was rustled. 0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:36.000 He really made that shit work. 0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:38.000 And he know, like he's been around the league for 0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:40.160 a long time, so he know what like league level 0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:43.719 stuff look like, like our lounges and our and our 0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:46.200 stuff at our facility. It ain't like that's the first 0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:47.960 thing you say, like, man, that's what y'all should look like. 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:52.400 I'll go there now it shit looks nice like he 0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:54.680 he broke all that shit down, like he broke all 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:56.400 that shit. He putting new shit up there like the 0:34:56.760 --> 0:35:00.120 now just look good. Ship actually got snacks Like when 0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.319 I was in college, Like I knew when we had 0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:05.560 a recruiting town, there was snacks in the lounge, like 0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:08.080 you go there some power raids like yeah, who in 0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:11.279 town today? You got raids in. 0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:15.600 Georgia Tech that was that was what was on. 0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:17.759 I'm like, we got power raids today. Oh yeah, we 0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:20.160 got a recruited town. Just lasted two days. 0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:23.400 They need to destroy that drink. That's probably the worst 0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:26.799 sports power. The other day that was that was pretty good. 0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:32.680 Brock Pike served with them. Damn basketball games. 0:35:34.040 --> 0:35:36.319 I remember all sports the drink. 0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:41.520 Yeah, it was trash too for solid any time. That 0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:44.680 used to be a thing. But that's those trash damn whack. 0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:47.920 So going through that draft process, making it to the league, 0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:49.880 you know, play the Minnesota I was there with your 0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:50.480 rookie year. 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.200 Like, what's the best part about being the NBA player? 0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:57.000 Like all the other ship, Like you live in your dream, 0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:58.399 but what's the best part of it? 0:35:59.880 --> 0:36:00.200 Huh? 0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:06.399 I feel like the best part for me because I'm 0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:08.480 big on community, the best part for me is seeing 0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:13.400 the influence you have on people, Like and it's funny 0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:14.680 that you are high school coach. That's what I want 0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:16.560 to do when I'm done playing, to be a coach 0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:20.879 because it's like, I know, like kids, man, they face 0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:22.640 a lot of problems these days, and you know a 0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:24.040 lot of them don't even be their fault, you know, 0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:27.279 their kids, but one bad decision can change the course 0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:30.399 of their life. Fact, And you know, I was one 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:32.120 time I told this kid. I was like, right, Bro, 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.960 don't do that. He still tak me today. Bro, I'm 0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:36.279 so glad that you told me not to do that 0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:38.359 like that. I'm like, Dad, I won't even I didn't 0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:40.440 even think it met like it meant that much to it, 0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:42.520 you know what I'm saying. But seeing it had a 0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:45.040 positive impact on somebody, and not saying that he would 0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:46.920 be in a pad position now if he did do it, 0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:50.160 but like just seeing that like that for me, that's 0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:53.439 the best part about being in the league. Yeah, that's 0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:59.360 the worst part. The worst part about being in the league. 0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:03.360 I would say, it's like people don't think you're human. 0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:06.320 Yeah, they treat you like. 0:37:05.560 --> 0:37:07.680 Like if I go to like I play video games, 0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:09.839 if I go stream, the first thing that's gonna say 0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:13.440 on the stream is you ain't shooting threes while you 0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:17.080 playing video games. You should be in the gym. I'm like, 0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:18.200 it don't work like like this. 0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:24.040 Ship don't work like that because everybody don't work like Bro. 0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:27.280 I've seen you talk about I've seen one of your podcasts. 0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:29.640 You told somebody man go to like go to sleep. 0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:33.520 I don't sleep. I work out, be in the gym. 0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:37.000 I mean I think and I think. You know, obviously 0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:39.440 people look at you know, when everybody think about like 0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:41.320 working hard, the first person come to your mind is 0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:43.439 like Kobe and the mentality. You know what I'm saying. 0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:48.520 But I think there's a big difference between not working 0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:52.960 hard and being in the gym. All like there's a spectrum, 0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:58.520 because yeah, it is because you're not like it's because 0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:00.839 you're playing video games, don't I mean you in the gym. 0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:03.279 And it's because you in the gym, don't mean you 0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:06.000 don't you can't have a life. That's the one thing there. 0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:08.759 My rookiet Derrick Rose told me this. He was like, 0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:12.040 he was like I asked him, I'm like, yo, what's 0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:14.960 your biggest regret in basketball? And he told me he 0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:18.279 was like, my biggest regret is when I was, you know, 0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:21.120 coming up, I didn't give times to a lot of 0:38:21.200 --> 0:38:23.480 things that mattered in my life. Like I was so 0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:26.440 involved in like my people going to like a concert, 0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:28.520 I wouldn't go because I want to go to the gym, 0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:30.640 or if I wanted to do this, I wouldn't go 0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:32.400 because I want to go to the gym. But then 0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:35.000 you go you fast forward ten years and all your 0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:38.040 homies and your family. They having all these memories. You 0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:40.200 were never a part of. No memories. It's because you're 0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:42.400 in the gym, and yeah, you getting better. But just 0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:44.560 I could have missed that and still did the gym. 0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:46.560 I mean, I could have went to the events and 0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:48.360 still went to the gym. But I was just focused 0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:51.000 on thinking that if I did do the concert, if 0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:53.400 I did do that, it would take away from basketball. 0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:55.920 And that was never the case. That's what he told me. 0:38:56.320 --> 0:38:57.400 I ain't missed a concert. 0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:03.399 Nigga was at every concert and State Ford was called 0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:06.680 Philips Rina back there, right, I should have been. 0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:07.080 In the jail. 0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:13.279 Comes with it, thought, Bro, Man, you get your. 0:39:13.200 --> 0:39:14.920 Ass on that stream man and some motherfucker come and 0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:17.480 see man, that's why that nigga missed out them shot. 0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:18.120 Yeah, that's like. 0:39:20.239 --> 0:39:20.920 He played together. 0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:24.319 You got out at the right time. 0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:32.600 No niggas boomed me in uh Milwaukee because I grabbed 0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:34.000 a rebound from Bobby Porters. 0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:40.600 I'm they start saying Bobby, Bobby.

You're the 0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:30.440 reason why I'm still racist when niggas don't store as 0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:36.960 a problems when niggas scored, you know, because I guess 0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:40.360 up the spread or something. Yeah, I know, I know, 0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.320 but that's what I'm saying. Though he went in the 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:45.719 game and he did his thing, did his thing, but 0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:51.080 one hundred percent from the field, that black man, But 0:40:51.880 --> 0:40:55.759 he is sucking up that person that said the fun but. 0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:02.040 The four once he needed ass from scoring them four 0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:03.920 points because he probably fucked up. 0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:07.480 A lot of That's what I'm saying. But he looking 0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:09.359 at it like, look well, when you at that time, 0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:11.480 I ain't gonna say that type of player, but when 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:13.560 you when you a player who don't play a lot 0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:17.160 every minute. It's precious because if you get four points, 0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:19.359 coach might be like, okay, it might you might get 0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:21.319 like four minutes of garbage time. Next time you score 0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:24.520 ten points, then niggas might knock on what It might 0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:26.280 be a situation when a lot of people aren't playing 0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:28.879 and coach like, okay, he has scored them four points, 0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:31.680 scoring him ten points. People ain't playing. Coach put a 0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:33.279 little bit, has a little bit of trust. Throw him 0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:35.239 out there and maybe coming off the bench now he 0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:37.759 going crazy. But that started because of that game he 0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:38.520 had four points. 0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:48.879 Look, why niggas be tight niggas. The niggas be thinking 0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:51.319 the ship is rid because it's like, y'all, I didn't 0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:53.000 even think about putting this nigga in the game. 0:41:53.760 --> 0:41:55.120 The game is scored four points. 0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:58.439 But also if you do plays use DraftKings, that's fair. 0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:01.960 That's fair. Niggas. Niggas bet on me all the time. 0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:07.440 Bro say, look, if y'all do not let me know, bro, 0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:10.759 because they be trying to tell me jail that three 0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:13.399 missed within the third quarter. I'm like, bro, don't tell 0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:14.879 me about no. I don't want to hear no. Best 0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:19.440 don't come to me about no advice. What's your usual though, Bro? 0:42:19.760 --> 0:42:25.200 You plus what at the under? I gotta have a game, 0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:35.880 my boy l s U that right on itself. 0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:38.040 Yes, bro, he but he got he went. 0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:42.680 He went to him like six hundred brother. What they 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:46.920 just caught his as an arrest ofer. Just I downloaded 0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:50.320 fan No he played football? Wow, yeah he played football. 0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:51.840 He played with the Patriots. They call him after he 0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:56.160 after Bro, he was up five hundred bands. Bro, but 0:42:56.200 --> 0:42:58.080 I watched football all the time. I'm I'm gonna start 0:42:58.120 --> 0:42:59.960 being on this ship in the football. I downloaded Fanuel 0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:02.360 man of account. The next day they suspended my account, 0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:05.359 said we gotta verify I send a picture with your 0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:07.640 name or your I d in the date. I'm like, 0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:10.799 I ain't finishing fan duel of selfie. I'm like, bro, 0:43:11.520 --> 0:43:14.200 we're drafting. That's why I ain't even I'm probably gonna 0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:14.880 do drafting. 0:43:14.960 --> 0:43:15.680 The Burner account. 0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:18.320 I don't do you just don't bet at all. 0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:24.279 Because I'm working for the Pacers. They do a monthly thing. 0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:26.480 They send your name through a database and if you 0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:28.120 should come up, it is non negotiable. 0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:29.799 We don't go FU what it is you out the door. 0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:33.000 So even so even if you've been on like football, 0:43:33.000 --> 0:43:33.600 if you want. 0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:35.840 Now you can do other sports. You just can't do 0:43:36.080 --> 0:43:36.960 anything NBA related. 0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:39.000 I mean, that's that's that's across the board. You can't 0:43:39.040 --> 0:43:40.759 bet on n b A, the w b B A 0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.920 G League. You can't better on the n b A.

I've hooped and I've hooped in Africa. 0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:24.480 Bro. 0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:27.400 It's like the hoop of different Bro. I treat you 0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:33.799 not so y'all see y'all making this something. Y'all making 0:44:33.840 --> 0:44:35.520 this something. I wasn't even trying to make it, bro. 0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:38.160 I'm trying to tell you the conditions. 0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:49.920 Broke, No Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. 0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:53.600 Bro, you know what you know what Josh fun take 0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:56.279 your Blake expected that Junion when you do hoop it 0:44:57.160 --> 0:44:57.919 coach high school. 0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:02.399 What I'm saying, this is what I am saying, though, 0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:06.200 This is what I'm saying because y'all are trying to conditions. Bro, 0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:10.960 I'm saying the conditions like I'm not saying nothing other 0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:15.799 than basketball. Like I'll give your perfect example. We had 0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:19.440 like an Olympic qualifying qualifying tournament in Niger, right, so 0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:24.759 they set up the court in a convention center and 0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:29.440 they put hardwood on carpet. They did that here before 0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:33.200 had but like, okay, but this is to get to 0:45:33.280 --> 0:45:39.000 the Olympics. You want to get to the y'all got 0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:41.399 a different type of bill, bro.

I kid you not, 0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:05.920 But it's just it's just so. And basketball is not 0:46:06.080 --> 0:46:08.600 really like a fan favorite over there, you know. 0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:10.200 So you know what I'm saying. 0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:12.160 So because it's not you're not going to see a 0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:14.640 lot of people putting their money into development in bas 0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:17.120 That's why you've seen that one kid, I know, he 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.560 went viral.

That's why I said for 0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:32.080 Jake Cole to leave America and go to Africa and 0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:35.040 go play over there, that means he really loves basketball, 0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:37.520 because you're not playing over there if you don't love it. 0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:39.440 That's That's That's what I'm trying to say. 0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:44.200 Sacrifice.
