We met at the place. 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:20.359 But that's the thing we were talking about. 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.879 Is like nowadays kids also hop just like college is 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.080 allowed now, but even probably before the nil became a 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.840 deal or transferred portal.

And I see a 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.200 lot of I had a real conversation with the kids 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.119 maybe about a month ago my team. I was like, 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:51.720 man a lot of the niggas ain't got no better 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.520 than last year. So it's like, I'm gonna keep it 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:55.480 the buck with you cause I can bring it. I 0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:56.879 can pull out film from las year because I've been 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:57.760 doing this for three years now. 0:21:58.119 --> 0:21:59.439 And my year one. 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:06.600 Team trash Boy, we got picked on, bullied. 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:08.040 I mean, like I said, we got hitting them out 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:09.040 for a couple of times, but we had to see 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:10.719 what was out there. We had to get asked out 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:12.400 there in the fire. My son was a part of it, 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:14.320 and I hated to see that nigga loose.

And it's like, 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.000 I don't take that for granted, you know what I mean? Yeah, 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:50.280 for sure, Yeah, that this one definitely need up.

I always wanted 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.680 to go kill and see where I was at, play 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.600 against the best, and make them make a decision based 0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:21.840 on what I was doing versus like what y'all see 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:23.919 in the Kentucky game. Who I am, Like, let me 0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:25.840 show you this dog. I'm sure this motherfucker's gonna play 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:28.479 a hundred every possession. Like, So that's what I showed 0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.840 Boston and they moved up and got me the twenty 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:35.440 first pitch, which first picture pick, which felt like three hours. 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:37.480 I was sitting at my board. I said, damn, I 0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:39.480 ever gonna get picked them. The crazy thing is the 0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:42.520 twenty pick was Ronaldo Balkman. So I heard that run, 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:46.879 I was like, what, oh sh nigga, yeah, nigga. 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.000 Philly called me the day before told me they gonna 0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.680 pick me at seventeen and then they said. 0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:56.479 Drew, what Shree Holiday? Who is that? Like? 0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:59.320 No disrespect Drew. Actually that's my guy, But I didn't know. 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.280 I'm like, you Holiday, you're a freshman at you see it?

Five ship Drew? 0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:16.840 Hall of Famers potential, Yeah right right, good choice, but 0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.240 you would end up being on part of one of 0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:24.320 the craziest, most successful franchise, one of the craziest teams ever. 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.560 Yeah, and y'all all was cold, all Hall of Famers. 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:30.119 How was that experience of being in Boston, being with 0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.159 being with the team, Like obviously you earned your stripes 0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:34.320 early and they trusted you. 0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:36.960 How was that process? Man? It was hard? I mean 0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:38.720 it was it was tough. 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:41.480 Again, people don't know, like my Brookie year I wanted 0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:45.800 to get traded, almost calling my agent, call my high coach, man, 0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:47.400 give me the funk out of here, like this ain't there. 0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:49.320 I feel like I was doing what I had to 0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:54.440 do in practice. Shout out to Basst. It was, you 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.200 know that's my dog, Like I said, ain't know. We 0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.000 were competing. Like I said, at that time, I felt 0:25:58.000 --> 0:25:59.240 like I was getting the. 0:25:59.160 --> 0:25:59.680 Best of them. 0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:02.720 So I wanted to play. And we lost eighteen straight 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:04.399 that year. So I'm like, God, damn, like, you know, 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.360 shake something up, do something different. He never really did. 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:09.720 Like I said. Doc told me some things that didn't 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.760 you know, come to light, and I was like, damn, like, 0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:14.800 get me out here. So I stayed down again. Kareem 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.480 rise at the top. I kept working that summer. I 0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:19.280 at the crib my mom's house, and I see my 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:21.400 name on the on the TV. It's like seven names 0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:23.080 on the bitch. We're going to Minnesota. I'm like, oh, yes, 0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:26.080 get me out here. But I'm like, damn Minnesota. Ah, 0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.639 but whatever whatever. 0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:32.199 Now I get to play, right, so I you know, 0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.520 I see it. Whatever they go by. Denny called me like, 0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:37.040 you ain't going nowhere? Okay, cool? Whatever? Going to find 0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:37.480 out kg. 0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.600 He said what he said, let me lock in and 0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:42.639 stay home at the Crib Boston at the time. So 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:44.600 the following year, like we want, we lost eighteen the 0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:46.679 first year. Next year we obviously win a championship. So 0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:50.600 that transition itself was a blessing in disguise because again 0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:52.639 I'm fighting to get out, but the lawyer had a 0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:56.280 better plan for me. Obviously, just go through adversity, handle 0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.159 this ship, and then now I prepared you for the 0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.639 next year, which was the doll the pressure between me 0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:01.000 and Perk. 0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:02.480 You know, they had two guys that's. 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.639 Not proving you know, no name guys that can't do this. 0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:07.399 They can't do that playing with three Hall of famers. 0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:10.400 So for me, it was just my mindset and when 0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:12.200 the people I had around me like, you know, I 0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.679 have a strong mindset to think like I am who 0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:17.000 I am. I had to prove it. But again it 0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:18.800 had to show through work, and I was in the 0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:20.560 bitch every day in the weight room. I learned to 0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:23.440 work in the weight room from Kevin.

Now I'm getting my pre game routine. 0:27:58.080 --> 0:27:59.439 Now I'm figuring out what I like to because at 0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:00.760 first I was come the league. I was even big 0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:05.440 max full games. I'm going across street, you know, number two, 0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.280 number one in McDonald's fries, thinking I can do it all. 0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:10.479 But I was like, young fella, got slow down. So 0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:12.560 tell you what you was on. I went to the mall. 0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:16.600 What's that that bourbon bourbon chicken, every city bourbon chicken meat. 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:20.159 I was on a budget too. I was going crazy 0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:21.960 on that burbon chicken. Hiven that budget It's. 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:28.120 Crazy, man, It was broke. Bro gotta gotta manage.

So I was like, damn, I cannot be a statistic. 0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:40.280 That's real. 0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:43.880 I think they're doing a better job, like being acknowledge 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:45.400 of financial literacy now in the bag. 0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:50.560 In the bag I was talking about you. I think 0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:51.880 I'm signed. 0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:54.160 I seen somebody sign for four year forty and we 0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:56.560 thought that was crazy. Like listen, I think it was 0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:58.920 Chauncey because back my I wanted my deal, like I 0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:00.680 think Tony Park was getting like eleven and twelve at 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:00.960 the time. 0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:02.160 I was like, man, give me eleven. 0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:05.640 I'm cool.

Sadden like, man, 0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:07.240 this is like you know, I mean, like I'm from 0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:07.840 when you got it. 0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:13.360 I was like, yeah, fifty five. Remember d Rose got eighty. 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.160 I couldn't believe that's what I'm saying. So that was 0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:20.360 eighty is like that's the birst. 0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:25.480 He after three points. 0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.760 But I seen my I love payting Pritchard, but he 0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.320 got four year thirty two off the bench. I'm like, damn, 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:34.120 that was like I got that was starting playing my hardest. 0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:40.320 I was like, damn, all star like numbers you're getting, 0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:42.120 you all, this is what you're getting. I'm like, man, 0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:44.520 it's a blessing for them though, for sure, for sure, 0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:46.400 but for you to be the PG to run the team, 0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:49.040 Like how was that? To deal with all the personality 0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:50.800 because they was all successful, they were right. 0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:52.120 It was fun man, it was funny. 0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:54.680 The KG man he was, you know, he helped me 0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:56.640 a lot, like I said, help me accountable from when 0:29:56.640 --> 0:29:58.320 I was doing the right thing and when I wasn't. 0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:01.840 So you me and Pete tight as ever now, you 0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:03.440 know what I mean. Like we clashed a lot, like 0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:05.480 I said, he was he was a captain, you know 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:07.160 what I mean. And for me being able to run 0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:09.440 it through Doc. Learning from Doc, they brought in Sam 0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.200 could Sale which helped me a lot on my hill. 0:30:12.240 --> 0:30:14.440 I had great guys around me. It helped me like 0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:16.920 manage the guys, learn how to you know, manipulate the game, 0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.560 make sure everybody's cool. But Kevin was the one that 0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:22.160 sacrificed most. That's why I say shot to Kevin because 0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.480 you know, he obviously still won his shots. Ray wanted 0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.120 his shots, but Kevin, when he won, that motherfucker'd be like, hey, 0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:28.800 bring that motherfucker down here. And then there was you know, 0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:30.280 it was time. But for the most part, he was 0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:32.200 a willing pick setter. You know what I mean, you 0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:32.920 understood this role. 0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:34.600 He was a star in his role, which he was 0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.160 a superstar, but it's you know, people understand like he 0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:38.800 was a star in his role. He was gonna pick 0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:40.719 up ninety four feet with me. He was gonna talk 0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:43.640 the most on defense. He's gonna lay the motherfucker down 0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.160 if he needed to, elbow wise, he's gonna talk shit, 0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:48.760 get the ten going. So his mindset, he didn't talk 0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:52.200 to nobody before games that Nigga was locked in every time. 0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.280 I remember one time my rookie year, we in Rome, 0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:57.400 my second year, we in Rome and he's going through 0:30:57.880 --> 0:30:58.560 in layup line. 0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:00.000 Man, Nigga bumped shot at me one time. 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:01.920 I'm like, what the fuck, didn't look at me, didn't 0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:03.880 break a sweat and kept it locked and I'm like 0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:06.360 this Nigga is for real. Like but he was just 0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:09.000 it was his mindset before the game, like it was. 0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.200 It was him against everybody, and not necessarily he bought 0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:13.280 me on purpose. I'm saying his like his mindset. He 0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:15.640 did ritual every game. He never shot before the games, 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:18.200 Like he never came out at four o'clock or sixteen 0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:20.280 minutes on the clock his shoot. When he shot, he 0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:23.040 would grab one or two rookies and make the ass shoot. 0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:24.480 Every time he did the rebound, we out, there's the 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:26.479 team twenty minutes on o'clock. He get to He get 0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:30.040 to his four spots every time. Every day in practice, 0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:31.800 You're gonna do the same thing every day after practice. 0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:33.560 Like so I was like, okay getting him. I think 0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:35.280 him and Brown was the most disciplined players I've ever 0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:39.400 played with. M Daily Great Daily, Yeah, why do you 0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:39.920 bark at. 0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:42.720 Me in the game? Bro? For me? No, kg oh Man, 0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:44.720 that's him man, Like, I mean, get all four and. 0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:52.680 Bro, Bro, we got the clip man, please finally clip Man. 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:53.520 That was crazy. 0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:55.280 I mean, that's what That's what I loved about him, 0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:57.040 And like that motherfucker you would love to go to 0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:59.200 war with him. I think people compare him a sense 0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:00.600 of kind of like a Joe King or you hate 0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:02.000 to play against some motherfucker when you get, you get 0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:03.440 him on the team, is like, he's your favorite team 0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:03.960 at of all time. 0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:05.000 So that's my little brother. 0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:07.320 But I had a question. I was going, well, I 0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:09.840 want to talk basketball for real. Like we had a 0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:11.880 clip with me and Jordan Crawford was talking about Avery 0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:14.560 Bradley and I remember y'all too a start in the 0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:17.800 back court at one point. You two niggas playing defense. 0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.040 That's the most wild shit. 0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:23.880 I used to be like, hey, man, look that love 0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:25.719 young nigga shot. That's my little bro a b man. 0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:28.560 That nigga inspired me, bro, because when he got there, 0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:29.840 it's like I didn't have to be that guy that 0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:31.600 picked up ninety forty. More so, I was like, you know, 0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:33.200 I was like, oh shit, good looks you fell. And 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:35.480 the way he did it, they practice, Man, the nigga 0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:38.760 was intimidating. He was dominating, like and he would every 0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:40.160 time you get a nigga, he'd be like, yes, that's 0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:40.800 what he's on my list. 0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:41.000 Though. 0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:42.920 I got him getting ashed, I got him, add him, 0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:44.600 Jimin Nelson got him. I'm like, and I'm in the 0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:46.880 game watching niggas. Do not want to put the bitch 0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:48.760 on the ground in front of him, Like niggas throwing 0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:52.160 that motherfucker anything like, Man, I don't give a funk 0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:52.840 who get this ball. 0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:55.160 It ain't gonna be me getting embarrassed because as a PG, 0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:58.560 you can't get ripped ninety four feet runs in the basket. 0:32:58.240 --> 0:32:59.720 Like I mean, you just at half court. That's one 0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:01.440 of the most brass works to me. It's worse to 0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:04.160 getting equivalent and getting dunked on, like the getting picked at. 0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:05.600 Especially in the league. 0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:09.080 Man, but they was guarding and he's in the playoffs 0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:11.320 against him, and he was like, let's get these niggas. 0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:18.680 Man, that's my love. 0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:26.080 That's yeah, that's exactly what it was. That's the mindset. 0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:27.920 Like I said, he was always with it. That's why 0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:30.520 another one of my favorite back court makes was yourew Holliday. 0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:30.720 Man. 0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.800 We played that series against Poland and niggas Like, Man, 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:36.440 it was either it was either Poiland or it was Houston. 0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.000 And I was like, you know me, I'm let's get Houston. 0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:39.920 He's like, let's get poored. 0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:41.920 I'm like a nigga whoever like And it was that mindset, 0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:44.360 having a running mate with you besides you like that. 0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:45.720 It's like when I'm ready to go to the ward. 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.080 Any time, any time of the day, defenders right there, 0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:50.280 and I'm cool with switching with him. And I'm okay, 0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:52.120 So if I got a guy like a d Rolls, 0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:54.520 if I got to Chase to Steph, I'm not comfortable 0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:56.920 to switch with everybody. But Avery Browley Drew hot Day, 0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:58.960 I'm like, okay, cool, they understand that I'm on, shut 0:33:59.000 --> 0:33:59.600 this nigga down. 0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:01.200 We're gonna jump around. 0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:03.240 But we got to talk about that Pelican team, in 0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:06.280 which I did say trail blas a shame. I was like, 0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:08.080 that's one of the few teams and you you've been 0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:09.880 to callus for a lot of great playoffros.

I said, he made this 0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:15.560 game plan. He's coaching this. 0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:18.399 I promised, shout out to gentry man you coached that 0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:20.279 that man, I shout out the gentries. 0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:21.279 He coached that. 0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:25.560 He allowed me. I think you know, I think you 0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:26.840 know people. 0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:28.840 I'm thankful for people that coach that allowed me to 0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:30.520 coach when I play, you know me, because I said 0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:32.840 they had had to earn that respect. Because again that 0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:35.240 year in particular, man, y'all forget we had the Marcus 0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:35.839 Cousin on that team. 0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:37.960 We didn't forget so my thing when he towards a 0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:38.839 C because before that. 0:34:38.880 --> 0:34:41.560 I wasn't in rotation like that because it wasn't enough 0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:45.640 basketlall as it was Drew a D cuz I really 0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:47.319 didn't fit in because I needed a ball too. 0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:50.200 So once Cousin went down, he was she was starting 0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:52.360 to master the game too. Man, that's me. I was 0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:54.040 a bed at the time. It wouldn't really an ego thing. 0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:55.439 It was like, man, if I could see my young boys, 0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.520 which was Cousin a D and I said, one of 0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:59.919 my favorite team boys, Drew go crazy. I was trying 0:34:59.920 --> 0:35:01.600 to teach cause how many play the game because at 0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:03.160 first Cousin eighty with both trounds. 0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:03.600 Score fifty. 0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:06.759 Like I'm like, cuz that eighty, get to fifty, you 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:10.120 get twenty, twenty and ten and now we all can 0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:12.319 still eat, Yes, sir. And at the time, if you 0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:13.960 look at up, I think Cousins starting average a couple 0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:16.200 triple doubles. At the time he was going got hurt 0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:18.840 against Golden State, a kill lee, shit happened whatever. I 0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:20.200 don't know who what might have been going to say 0:35:20.400 --> 0:35:23.880 Popper's Achilles and then they inserted me and I was like, 0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:27.560 all right, get into it. Okay, I got eighty as 0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:28.040 a webinar. 0:35:28.040 --> 0:35:32.319 I got. I had Nico, uh, Nico, what's my man? 0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:38.000 Marriages? Yeah, that big he was my shooter. And I 0:35:38.040 --> 0:35:40.600 had Drew. I had a eat one more. 0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:42.360 I mean I had to have some well, so I 0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:44.360 mean I had I felt like I had I was 0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:45.880 able to have a team where I had weapons. 0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:48.680 I feel like I can beat you four time before 0:35:48.680 --> 0:35:50.360 you beat me four times. That's that was my That 0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:51.799 was always how I played and thought the game. 0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:53.239 Yeah, I ain't even saying it because you're hearing, and 0:35:53.400 --> 0:35:54.759 I sort of got. I thought you'all was going to 0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:58.640 the finals now you always but I always appreciated. 0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:01.000 The only reason I believe that we didn't, man, is 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:04.120 because one we didn't have Cuz because when we were 0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:06.880 gonna going against Golden State, we needed that enforcer and 0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:08.000 we needed somebody to. 0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:10.080 Check Draymon. 0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:12.239 I mean I wanted Ad to first play the game, 0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:15.040 hit Drama on the chest, set the tone different, bro, 0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:16.279 you know what I mean, Like it had to set 0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:18.719 the tone. I think Draymond hit first against a d 0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:21.880 and again we obviously we lost that series. We were 0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:24.000 able to get one. Like people obviously had us swept 0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:26.200 by the way we did Portland niggas had to start 0:36:26.239 --> 0:36:28.680 looking like, oh, okay, what the fuck they got going. 0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:29.760 Over here in New Orleans. 0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:33.759 So Gentry was coaching in Flynn, Minnesota coaches the office 0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:34.240 of coordinator. 0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:36.880 Okay, yeah, so so he know how to work with 0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:39.160 two big Yeah. So now it was because we had 0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:41.080 a stretch forward. We had damn you know, Nico, he 0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:43.160 was stretching the bitch out you, I mean where Nurkic 0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:46.000 couldn't get there. Yeah, but now it makes sense how 0:36:46.040 --> 0:36:50.000 he plays in Minnesota, cat being a stretch for Rudy. 0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:52.680 Now I didn't even know that that makes sense now. 0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:55.359 And then another crazy playoff team you had. We ain't 0:36:55.360 --> 0:36:57.759 eve gonna talk about the chests first, but come on, 0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:00.880 the bull situation, dog, that's another one of them. 0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:02.480 You don't know. 0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:04.880 Yeah, let me tell you a little bit of history 0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:09.160 of that though. Man, that was that was a year 0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:11.560 I had the biggest contract. So I'm I'm in Chicago. 0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:15.600 I'm uh, like I said, in downtown, it was a 0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:17.480 great experience. Like I said, we're in there playing for 0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:19.600 Michael Jordan where you played in Chicago. Like I said, 0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:21.279 I'm only I think it's a close distance from the 0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:23.120 crib that I was at. So I would get off 0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:24.840 for planes it two in the morning, drive home and 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:26.440 try to take my kids school and drive back like 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.000 it was. I was able to do shit like that. 0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:32.680 So that particular year, though, them niggas fucked me. I 0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:37.000 mean they benched me, uh for a long period of time. 0:37:37.520 --> 0:37:37.640 Uh. 0:37:37.680 --> 0:37:39.800 They brought a couple of players, like, you know, you 0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:41.960 ain't the man.

So let me manipulate and do 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:53.080 what I do with the ball I'm getting. I'm a 0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:55.359 uns play.

I went to 0:38:44.800 --> 0:38:46.600 I went to damn near every hood in Chicago in 0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:49.839 a sense and play runs called one fifty shout out 0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:50.240 to everybody. 0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:51.440 They kept me in. 0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:55.440 Shape, they go to they played one fifty Yeah, and 0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:57.400 that was I was able to keep my head, keep 0:38:57.440 --> 0:38:58.920 a cool head because I was still playing the game 0:38:59.000 --> 0:38:59.239 I love. 0:38:59.280 --> 0:39:00.560 I was still able to say in shape. 0:39:01.120 --> 0:39:02.919 And then when I was obviously when I would saying 0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:04.520 the Kreean raster the top, when I got an opportunity 0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:08.520 again it was playoff time, yes, sir, so on my mind, 0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:11.319 I'm like ship, I'm ready to fuck these niggas up. 0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:13.680 And again we were the eighth seed. We got nothing 0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:14.120 to lose. 0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:17.520 And that and I'm back at the crib and they 0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:20.840 you know, Isaiah Thomas is going crazy. M hm, you 0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:22.359 know they got to help a squad at number one 0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:25.440 in the East. Man, I figured, okay, cool, let me 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:30.120 so Game one were in the lobby. We had our 0:39:30.200 --> 0:39:31.880 team meeting, so I told Jimmy and d Wade to 0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.279 stay back. Let's be walked through a play with y'all. 0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:36.000 Because again Brad ain't ready for this shit. In the 0:39:36.000 --> 0:39:37.760 fourth quarter, was able. 0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:38.160 To maniplate the game. 0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:39.840 That way, we obviously get Game one, same thing we 0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:43.040 did Game two. Now at this time, people bought into 0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:45.600 what I was telling. At first, niggas were really trying 0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:47.839 to hear what I was saying that by that time again, 0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:49.560 Negg was like, Okay, let me what are you talking about. 0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:51.879 Okay, let's do that, and that's what we did. Then 0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:52.200 we went. 0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:54.680 Then we win both games by both games. Then I 0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:56.960 reached on Al Horford broke my thumb. 0:39:57.600 --> 0:39:57.920 I'm out. 0:39:57.960 --> 0:39:59.600 I'm trying to play that. Like now it's you got 0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:02.360 a chield. So, like I said, another blessing from above, 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:05.520 the Niggas lose four straight, just like, come on, man, 0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:07.360 the crazy thing about it. So we we went to 0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:09.359 on the roll. We come back to the crib. It's 0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:12.359 supposed to be crazy. Back in Chicago when that game three, 0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:16.399 it was like this the crowd damn, Like I'm thinking 0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:18.239 this going to be crazy. Like when we we number 0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:20.560 a c we done won two games that nobody in 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:22.920 the world expected, sun up all the bets. If it 0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:27.440 was heavy betting back then out of out of I 0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:30.360 would hit we would hit a lick John t right. 0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:34.600 Like I got like who who taught you how to 0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:36.359 play the game? Because the way you think the game, 0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:39.320 it's kind of crazy. Bro. Like you hear like Kobe 0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:42.360 and Lebron talk about like your i Q about the 0:40:42.440 --> 0:40:43.040 game and stuff. 0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:44.240 Like that, like as a hooper. 0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:46.520 When I see stuff you was doing on the court, 0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:48.640 we will play you and you will have a bus. 0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:51.040 This nigga, I don't know Pauls, but nigga hands big 0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:53.160 as ship. So the nigga would hold the ball and 0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:55.200 he'd be telling this nigga sit there right here. And 0:40:55.239 --> 0:40:57.640 I used to be like, what the fuck, Like I 0:40:57.800 --> 0:40:59.879 look back and this nigga take off and lay the ball. 0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.759 I'm like, man, I tell him, Kurt, he you going 0:41:02.880 --> 0:41:04.080 this motherucker. 0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:06.319 Because he's doing too much sneaky ship man. All that. 0:41:06.640 --> 0:41:09.320 I really guard every brother whoever run off these screens 0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:11.160 right Allen, fuck all this ship because he would be 0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:13.960 holding the ball who is doing and start attacking do 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:15.799 all them in and outs. And I was like, man, 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:17.080 who taught you how to play? 0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:25.719 Probably taught me how to play, and like Bibby taught 0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:27.919 me my husand coach Doug Baby. Shot Doug Baby again, 0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:30.040 he's a he's a sense and this ship. 0:41:31.000 --> 0:41:33.799 But I said, I grew up playing everywhere in the city, 0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:34.200 you know what I mean. 0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:36.319 I was always the smallest. I always play up my 0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:38.440 older brother. He's fires older me. So every time I played, 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:40.480 it was niggas around his age, you know what I mean. 0:41:40.520 --> 0:41:42.200 So it was like, so I didn't get picked up 0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:43.920 at first, so I had to prove myself. So it's 0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:45.480 like I always had that chip on my shoulder and 0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:49.560 always played against more athletic, taller, stronger guys. So it's 0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:51.680 like for me, I just wanted to be great and 0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:52.880 I had to find a way to figure ou how 0:41:52.880 --> 0:41:54.080 to do it. That's where I guess maybe the shot 0:41:54.120 --> 0:41:55.960 fake came from it. Again, I'm playing aginst tall niggas's 0:41:55.960 --> 0:41:57.600 they're gonna block my shot, so now I got to 0:41:57.760 --> 0:41:59.799 smart them on how to you know, to me, I 0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:01.719 love I compared to like chess. I mean to be 0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:04.279 a two three steps ahead of the game. And that's 0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:06.759 always how I thought the game. And for me, the 0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.760 film is the answer to the test. So when I 0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:12.279 once I was introduced to film my freshman in high school, 0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:14.080 Doug Baby, May's watch film and I'm in this bitch. 0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:15.279 Like man, hear you go with this shit. 0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:17.799 I mean, I'm bad bady language and film like man, 0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:20.399 you always talking about me. So at first I didn't 0:42:20.440 --> 0:42:23.279 understand it, and I see it now teaching the au kid. 0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:25.560 It's like the same energy it's like, Okay, keep working 0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:27.520 and think you'll think me later. That's why I continue 0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:29.319 to do it. So for him to teach me the 0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:32.200 game and be able to watch myself and understand my 0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:34.440 mistakes and where my weaknesses are and how teams are 0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:36.640 going to play me, I was able to learn and 0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:38.120 tinue and just pick it up and be a sponge. 0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:41.440 And now when I got you know, I got success 0:42:41.480 --> 0:42:42.160 from it. 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:44.040 It was it was I want to I'm not going 0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:44.680 pay it to a drug. 0:42:44.719 --> 0:42:46.239 But it was very addictive to continue to learn to 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:49.279 watch and play the game and understand guys tendency. So 0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:50.600 when I get in the game, it's like, huh, I'm 0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:51.120 ahead of you. 0:42:56.520 --> 0:43:00.200 Yeah, because it was a psychopath, I'm like this dude. 0:43:00.320 --> 0:43:02.319 Like when we used to guard you, I know I'm 0:43:02.320 --> 0:43:04.200 doing too much basketball. We like the joking ship. But 0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:06.080 when we used to guard you, I used to tell 0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:08.120 the coaches like, hey, we got to pick him up. 0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:11.399 We gotta play him, like like we're playing Steph Curry. 0:43:11.400 --> 0:43:14.400 You gotta guard him, Like no, no, no, sad back. 0:43:14.520 --> 0:43:16.960 I'm like, bro, he like Tom Brady and the PA whatever, 0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:20.000 But Tom, they're gonna pick you apart. And we used 0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:22.160 to we's in a playoff series against you. We used 0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:24.440 to argue about that, and I'm like, bro, we gotta 0:43:24.480 --> 0:43:27.440 guard him and make him like be a score, make 0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:31.520 him like you let him do this. Bro, he gonna 0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:34.600 dissect that ball. Man, he just sit there and let 0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:35.320 him off a panda. 0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:38.120 I had too many weapons.

He would have to get it 0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:47.879 from him. Like I said when Adie connection same ship, 0:43:47.880 --> 0:43:48.960 I was like, man, me and Kevi, you get to 0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:50.960 every big I played with Cutz like me and that 0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:54.200 Katie that KG reverse spin because niggas so Thirsty's not 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:55.960 to deny the ball because they're such a great players. 0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:56.600 Now you're playing that. 0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.239 Top side, I'm reading the backside defense and if he 0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:01.560 ain't a foot of I can only throw to him 0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:02.799 where you can go get it.

I never played two K never. 0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:26.160 I mean I played it my son, but I never, like, 0:44:26.360 --> 0:44:27.319 I never get on the game. 0:44:27.600 --> 0:44:28.719 I'm not a gamer. I don't. 0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:31.560 I just can't get into it. But all the games 0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:32.600 and I never played games. 0:44:32.640 --> 0:44:36.000 Listen, two K eight to two K, Like, Bro, you 0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:36.959 was unstoppable. 0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:38.440 Bro. It didn't matter. Bro. 0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:41.440 But you talk about that Bulls series when you was 0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:43.360 part of Bulls. Let's talk about that series when you 0:44:43.400 --> 0:44:44.920 was with the Celtics. Y'all played the Bulls. One of 0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:48.320 the best first round series ever ever. It was probably 0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:50.320 about seven over times at that series. 0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:53.160 That was one of the best. It was. It was 0:44:53.160 --> 0:44:53.520 a dog. 0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:55.400 It was a dog fight, man. It was one of 0:44:55.480 --> 0:44:59.319 my favorite season ever played in shot d Rose one 0:44:59.320 --> 0:45:01.319 of my favorite player I played against you. I mean, like, 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:02.840 he didn't talk shit. He just let his games. We 0:45:02.840 --> 0:45:05.640 were talking and he was a tough motherfucker to guard 0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:09.560 like unreal like one's. 0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:09.800 He number one hard as the guard. 0:45:10.680 --> 0:45:14.080 Yes, nigga tough bro. Yes, I mean you know you 0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:15.960 could say Steph. But at the same time he was 0:45:16.000 --> 0:45:18.360 a monster. He is a monster as well, but that 0:45:18.400 --> 0:45:21.880 particular time with the Rose, you needed all five help, 0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:24.960 like you had to all five guys had to have 0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:27.719 eyes on him like a nigga getting the paint just 0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:29.840 like that. And then he's elevating on any big filet 0:45:29.880 --> 0:45:32.440 in finessa shit, and I'm like, I mean, this depends. 0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:35.640 So he was tough man. Transition was She was a 0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:39.480 one man fast break for sure. And obviously we got 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:42.560 to talk about thieves up here. Which one would you say, 0:45:42.640 --> 0:45:45.360 what's harder to get? Because I both had the legendary 0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:47.719 rolls for both of them. What sheveryship would you say 0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:52.120 was a little tougher than the other one. It's different 0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:53.719 and it's hard to speak on that because again, at 0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:56.839 one point I was twenty one years old, the other 0:45:56.880 --> 0:46:01.240 one I was thirty four, so different times in my life. 0:46:01.520 --> 0:46:05.040 At twenty one playing, I think we played twenty six 0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:07.960 games and win. We went to the Hawks seven games, 0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:14.160 Detroit six, Cleveland seven, and then LA six, so the 0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:15.800 it was like twenty six games and that was, like 0:46:15.840 --> 0:46:16.680 I said, every game. 0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:19.239 And you know, if you play in the playoffs like it's. 0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:20.879 The high and low, you win one you up here 0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:23.439 and you lose, You're like shit, I can't eat, don't 0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:23.920 talk to me. 0:46:24.920 --> 0:46:26.920 You know, when do we play again? That's the mindset. 0:46:26.920 --> 0:46:29.319 So it was like for me, that was a tough 0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:31.680 one mentally to get through because again, like I said, 0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:34.080 we had seven games, damn near every time and then 0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:36.560 like I said, that seven game niggas do it die, 0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:39.120 So that mindset nigga, and I loved it. I think 0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:41.120 I thrived the most when it was game seven. So 0:46:41.160 --> 0:46:42.719 it was them type of pressure games because I wanted 0:46:42.760 --> 0:46:46.320 that moment. But I had a great cask around me. 0:46:46.360 --> 0:46:47.680 I mean, like I said, I felt like the pressure 0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:49.000 was all on me, but it wasn't in a sense 0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:52.080 because everybody was starting the role and we're able to 0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:54.080 be great and we didn't have to do it all. 0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:57.759 Being coached by one of the best motivators ant nexting 0:46:57.760 --> 0:46:58.920 those guys, Doc Rivers. 0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:01.719 He's fetching a lot of heat lately, and uh, you. 0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:03.640 Know, but again, like I feel like players make the 0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:05.879 coaches in the sense, you know, you can't do shit 0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:06.480 with our talent. 0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:08.279 And the year before again we lost eighteen straight with 0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:10.040 that team. With Doc, you get you. 0:47:10.000 --> 0:47:11.520 Get a mixed a couple of Hall of famers, the 0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:15.640 right chemistry, Thibodaux coming that motherfucker. Shout out to Tabodeaux defensive, 0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:18.680 you know, juggernaut, and we were able to mesh man. 0:47:18.719 --> 0:47:21.759 We had great leadership, guys that sacrifice and ball into 0:47:21.800 --> 0:47:24.360 one another. It wasn't uh no egos at all that 0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:26.640 particular year, and we we figured out and made it work. 0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:28.040 We had a group of. 0:47:28.280 --> 0:47:30.279 Older guys with the big three, and then we had 0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.560 a young guys me, Tony Il and Leon pold Perk, 0:47:33.239 --> 0:47:36.360 y'all been you know what I mean, Eddie House, Jane Posey. 0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:39.000 So we were deep, uh you know, and and it 0:47:39.000 --> 0:47:42.680 felt good, Paul, you know, and it felt good to 0:47:42.719 --> 0:47:45.760 run at that table. But the bubble was completely different 0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:49.560 too though. I mean, like I said, we isolated no 0:47:49.680 --> 0:47:52.279 motivation really in the sense of just like Nigga check ball, 0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:54.040 it was it was me against you, wasn't no fans, 0:47:54.040 --> 0:47:56.319 it wasn't no the extra shit on the side, It 0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:58.120 wasn't no distractions really because we were able to lock 0:47:58.120 --> 0:47:59.200 in and hoop and play basketball. 0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:01.080 So I feel like we will always be able to 0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:03.960 be at our best sense for sure. And everybody talked 0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:06.360 about that bubble basketball. Y'all was there living in the dorms. 0:48:06.400 --> 0:48:09.160 Everybody was just on Amazon packages and packages hooping like 0:48:09.200 --> 0:48:11.000 that was like the purest form of basketball. Don't know 0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:12.840 why people were trying to discredit the bubble ring and 0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:15.000 stuff like that. I might not niggas had to really 0:48:15.040 --> 0:48:15.839 just sit there and hoop. 0:48:15.880 --> 0:48:17.600 Bro, Yeah you know, I mean it was. It was 0:48:17.680 --> 0:48:20.160 checkball classic. If you ask me, it wasn't no like 0:48:20.200 --> 0:48:23.240 I said, no extra ship you checkball. You played against 0:48:23.239 --> 0:48:24.960 each other and like in the playoffs, that's went to me. 0:48:25.000 --> 0:48:27.080 Mary went crazy Like that's when I was like, oh, 0:48:27.120 --> 0:48:28.960 this nigga for real, Like I didn't know he was. 0:48:29.320 --> 0:48:31.560 So he went crazy on us. He destroyed us, like 0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:33.000 we couldn't check him. He had to move on me 0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:35.040 so fucking cold man. Y'all gott to find this clip 0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:37.719 visit a bubb but he went. I feel like I 0:48:37.800 --> 0:48:40.840 got him got it top of the key. I think, ioh, 0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:42.600 he go the cup, he drive level or something. He 0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:43.560 went up with his right hand. 0:48:43.600 --> 0:48:46.080 I contested bit, she flipped switched it, threw it up 0:48:46.080 --> 0:48:47.880 with his left hit. It was like this nigga is 0:48:48.120 --> 0:48:49.960 I can't I can't get him next? 0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:52.640 Who next? I can't. I thought, I can we need 0:48:52.640 --> 0:48:54.080 a big guard them or something.

So for me, every nigga, 0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:14.440 every person I played with, it was like, let me 0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:14.799 get that. 0:55:15.120 --> 0:55:16.719 Okay, okay, okay, let me get that. 0:55:16.800 --> 0:55:18.560 And then when I did, when I went to different teams, 0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:20.680 I try to pass it along to the young guys, 0:55:20.680 --> 0:55:23.560 like to the eighties and I went from Derk to Kevin. 0:55:24.040 --> 0:55:25.560 Now I'm able to talk to Cus and give it 0:55:25.600 --> 0:55:27.080 to him and give it to the you know, I say, 0:55:27.160 --> 0:55:30.600 Anthony Davis, So whoever that's young player DeAndre Jordan, I mean, 0:55:30.600 --> 0:55:32.480 any young guy I played with. And that's why I 0:55:32.520 --> 0:55:34.120 pride myself on too. It's always giving back to the 0:55:34.160 --> 0:55:36.239 young boys, to the rookies, the first second player. Your 0:55:36.239 --> 0:55:38.560 players and niggas don't really fuck with or respecting the 0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:40.120 sense because again I was once that player. 0:55:40.280 --> 0:55:42.719 I didn't I came in to Sweny first pick.

So that's the most 0:55:56.640 --> 0:55:58.319 time that they gonna get. When I go to these games, 0:55:58.360 --> 0:55:59.640 I see these young niggas and they're like, man, I 0:55:59.640 --> 0:56:01.719 appreciate what you did for me.

I get the news on the radio going 0:58:38.600 --> 0:58:39.280 back to the arena. 0:58:39.400 --> 0:58:41.560 That's crazy, that's crazy. 0:58:42.120 --> 0:58:46.880 Window I was. I was trying to go. It wasn't Now. 0:58:47.080 --> 0:58:48.200 I don't know what I would. 0:58:47.960 --> 0:58:50.200 Have done if I would have just fell down because 0:58:50.240 --> 0:58:52.160 I had a parstial tear. In order for me to 0:58:52.160 --> 0:58:53.560 play again, I had to get the surgery. But if 0:58:53.600 --> 0:58:55.840 I was just regular Joe, I could have just continued 0:58:55.840 --> 0:58:56.080 to walk. 0:58:56.840 --> 0:58:58.960 I probably propped a couple of parks and went crazy 0:59:00.960 --> 0:59:02.880 thirty thirty. 0:59:04.400 --> 0:59:06.640 But at that time I said de Rose towards a 0:59:06.720 --> 0:59:08.960 CLO and min Shumper towards a cl and they couldn't 0:59:08.960 --> 0:59:11.200 finish the game. So for me in my mind was like, well, 0:59:11.240 --> 0:59:12.760 I finished the game, so I didn't turn my a 0:59:12.800 --> 0:59:15.000 cl So I was like, okay, I thought this iry extended, 0:59:15.040 --> 0:59:15.479 I can play. 0:59:15.640 --> 0:59:17.919 That was my mindset, thinking what the ac of terrible? 0:59:18.000 --> 0:59:21.400 I just remember like this Nigga finished the game real. 0:59:22.480 --> 0:59:24.760 I was like, I don't think I'm this dedicated. 0:59:26.720 --> 0:59:29.640 Finished the game, bro for sure. Before we get out 0:59:29.640 --> 0:59:30.880 of here, though, we got to talk about it. 0:59:31.120 --> 0:59:31.280 Bro. 0:59:31.480 --> 0:59:34.160 That number nine Rondo is one of the legendary rap 0:59:34.280 --> 0:59:35.760 lines out of that feel. 0:59:35.480 --> 0:59:36.760 When you was in everybody wrap. 0:59:36.800 --> 0:59:39.080 So like anytime somebody said nine, your name was coming 0:59:39.160 --> 0:59:39.800 right after that. 0:59:40.440 --> 0:59:40.920 You know what that? 0:59:41.240 --> 0:59:43.240 It was so crazy, Like I said, again, I never 0:59:43.360 --> 0:59:45.120 understood knew it because again the reason why I got 0:59:45.200 --> 0:59:47.120 nine in Boston was because four was gone. 0:59:47.240 --> 0:59:48.240 No, no, four wasn't gone up. 0:59:48.280 --> 0:59:50.760 The single dish number was gone, and Ryan Gong was like, man, 0:59:50.800 --> 0:59:52.200 give me some bread for it. I'm like, Nigga, like 0:59:52.200 --> 0:59:53.600 you said, I ain't got no breade. I can't pay 0:59:53.600 --> 0:59:54.800 for no motherfucking number. 0:59:56.160 --> 0:59:56.280 With that. 0:59:56.360 --> 0:59:56.880 Let me get nine. 0:59:56.920 --> 0:59:58.360 That's how it came about. So I didn't really know 0:59:58.440 --> 1:00:00.440 obviously what I was doing when I got it. How 1:00:00.480 --> 1:00:03.040 crazy I've been through maybe like about ten years AGL. 1:00:03.040 --> 1:00:05.400 I have one of my boys out and Seattle used 1:00:05.400 --> 1:00:09.360 to make the iPods for us and Nate Robinson's Homeboy, 1:00:09.520 --> 1:00:11.920 and he made all the track lists with Number nine 1:00:11.920 --> 1:00:13.240 in it with my song and it was maybe like 1:00:13.320 --> 1:00:15.080 fifty six songs or something they had my name in it. 1:00:15.160 --> 1:00:17.240 So it was it was humbling again when I went 1:00:17.280 --> 1:00:19.280 to all the clubs and different cities. I'm in the 1:00:19.320 --> 1:00:21.280 hood club niggas show all the niggas showed me love. Man, 1:00:21.320 --> 1:00:25.080 it was unreal, Like that's another humbling feeling. It's like niggas, 1:00:25.080 --> 1:00:26.720 I don't even know what I'm in.
