It was like a 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.560 three little three bedroom, little little condo. So uh, he 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.920 would come over. He would come over like doing Uh 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.520 what is it like bye weeks off season stuff.

And then what people don't understand is 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.320 right in today's society. In today's world, a lot of 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.760 these guys don't gamble, you know what I'm saying, So, 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.640 which is respectable? You know what I'm saying. You know, 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.400 it causes a lot of friction. Uh. You know a 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.400 lot of people don't want to pay sometimes when they 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.440 see them different tabs going out, so you know, like 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.520 so they try to avoid that type of uh atmosphere. 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.240 You know what I'm saying, which is okay, well we 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:34.599 do gamble, I have to cut you off. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:41.000 We gambled with draft kicks saying. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.200 But what I'm saying, like, you know, like back in 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.200 the day before what is it called draft king? Okay, 0:06:49.360 --> 0:07:00.400 drafted Okay? So what else? So before all that, we 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.680 was really gambling, you know what I'm saying.

So so like hey, look from other from look, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.640 he understands this stuff. So it was it was times 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.800 where Recipes shot it low. It was it was like 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.720 you know, he had he had he had a squad 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.720 where he you know, he gambled and you know what 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.600 I'm saying, and he came in town. See, he can't 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.600 really be mad at this situation because it was another 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:33.520 situation when shot when they was playing video games, you 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.119 know what I'm saying.

Like at the end of the day, 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.160 the ship, it didn't go down, So no one needs 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.520 to be mad at no scenario. It wasn't. It was 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.440 just a scenario that happened. You backed out, which was 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.080 the smart thing to do.

How was that transition? Like, you know what 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.600 I'm saying, because you got to talked about the daddy life. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:17.920 You got you know what I'm saying. Short of going 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.400 to college. Now, got your kids in the program growing 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.360 up for you. You know what I'm saying, Pipe gett 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.079 into it. How is that a year later for. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.240 Both of y'all, especially to see him being a head coach. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.000 I mean, uh, it's it's just our transition, you know. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.040 It just shows shows the world that we still love 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.040 the game of basketball and uh, and we're willing to 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:42.480 pass pass on pretty much free information. If he's a 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.880 if he's a head coach at the high school, it's 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.599 damned near free information. It's like, this is what I 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:53.080 keep telling the parents of my My, My My program. 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.480 It's like where you want to get your kids too? 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.360 If you want to get him to the NBA, okay, cool, 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.600 If you want to get to the NBA, it's like 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.680 answers to a test, you know what I'm saying. Like 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.400 we have the answers to the test. So it's like 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.800 you're you you want to take a test blindly, not 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.120 not dealing with guys like me and team you get 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.440 what I'm saying, or guys like Rajon Rondo and other 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.719 guys like that. You know what I'm saying. So if 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.319 it's guys that are willing to come down and really 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.880 basically give you. It's not it's like it's costing us 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:31.160 more to be in a situation dealing with your kids 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.320 and surrounding and putting putting them down on different information. 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.360 Because it's not only about showing them the extras and 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.520 nose and showing them how to be a basketball player 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.160 when they're around us, We're showing them how to be 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.880 men too, you know what I'm saying, Like how to 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.080 carry them said, how to carry themselves because that shit 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.679 matters too, you know what I'm saying. If you, if you, 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:54.000 if you listen to a lot of these pro athletes 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.520 that are on these on these platforms, they'll tell you 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.199 that the guys that are that were in their class, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.880 that were the coders, they didn't make it, you know 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.880 what I'm saying, And they're the ones that made it. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:11.679 So what is that telling you? What is that telling you? 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.800 Like they was telling me that team brother was better 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.360 than him, I was I'm trying to you know what 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.320 i mean. So I'm like, you know, he's he's a 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.360 he's a great player, you know what I'm saying. But 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.280 you know, like those are big shoes to feel when 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.600 you get talking talking different comparisons with guys that are 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.040 ahead of you in life. You know what I'm saying, Like, 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.520 I got three sons, so I don't want I don't 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:38.000 want nobody say Okay, oh Jed is better than Josh 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.680 because it's like shit, not Josh is like man, you 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.640 got me fucked up. You know what I'm saying, like 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.440 real talk like, but it is not. It's not like 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.880 I know, like when you when we get when you 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.680 get to that stage when you have different sons, you 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.840 teach them to let them know that they're not competing 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.720 with each other as well. Well. 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:57.959 It's kind of like a healthy thing though, because Mama, 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.600 people will say, like your brother is better, I'm shit cool, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:01.400 if he better than me. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.679 We're about to be stranged. That's like that's what. 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:12.199 Yeah, I'm like, lord, because because people don't understand the 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:17.080 pressure that that like every year like a guy that 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:17.920 makes it pass. 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.120 I'm gonna say, six seven years in the league. You 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.960 gotta respect that. You gotta respect that God, because man, 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.760 they printing and knew him every year. That's a fact 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.920 they're printing and knew him like that, Like that's what 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:36.320 That's what people got to understand, Like once they find 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.360 find out that you have something different. They're trying to 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.960 find you in another person because they know that they 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:44.840 have to drop the bag on you and they don't 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.200 want to do it, you know what I'm saying. That's why, 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.760 like just like Denver, never be the same, you know 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:55.440 what I'm saying, And that's because you you lose guys 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.520 like Coentavious Kywell Pope, you know what I'm saying, Like 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.680 guys that can still play another eight years in this 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.840 league at the pace that he's playing, because all you're 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.440 asking him to do is be a three and D 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.360 and he could be more. He's more capable player, but 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:13.880 if you if you ask him to do that, that 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.680 creates more longevity in his career, you know what I'm saying. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.520 So it's like it's kind of it's kind of hard 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.120 to and he's a hell of. 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.680 A floor spacer, so like, but they ruined that because, 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.200 like you said, they think they can find that in somebody. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:33.640 Absolutely that if Okay, this the league is a copycat league, 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.680 you know what I'm saying, which is probably like the 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.840 NFL MLB two. Once they find out a guy a 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:43.160 team won NBA championship, that's the norm. Until they find 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.560 out it's only one Steph Curry, It's only fucking won 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.000 Klay Thompson, you know what I'm saying. So it's like 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.040 when the win the championship on how you gonna win? 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.120 You know what I'm saying. When I like so it 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.760 just if they didn't learn that ship from the Lakers, 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.960 you know what I'm saying. And they when they had 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.320 brought the d White and JaVale McGee in there and 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.960 they've seen that they needed those two guys in order 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:15.200 to defeat the Kolokic, then they wanted they won a championship. 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.560 They felt like, okay, we we got we could just 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.880 we could just get like two stale bigs in their 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.840 eyes like that can just rebound that we can we 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.720 can basically make you know, we can make puppets and 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.320 we can get it done again. Pay these guys. We 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.920 gotta pay these guys, young guys. They can do the 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:34.320 same thing I wanted. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.360 To ask you, like you had an Anthony Edwards for 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.600 the people that don't know a lot of young age, 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.800 how does the field bro to see him where he 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:43.600 at right now? 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.800 Like man, they feel amazing, man, you had him as 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.480 on the court. Yeah, I mean, I mean I caught him, 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.480 uh like you know, kind of his senior year in 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.040 high school. But it was like, you know, it's a 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:57.720 lot of it was a lot of hats in in 0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.000 the pot, you know what I'm saying. A lot of 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:00.720 hands in that pot, you know what I'm saying. So 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.879 when I got to him, I knew Dad. You know, 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.840 all I could do was basically give him the information 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.520 of of like what he was facing, what he's about 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:19.479 to face, you know what I'm saying. Like it was 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.840 just like from the standpoint of you know, like, bro, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.440 you're gonna be one of the faces of the NBA, 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.359 you know what I'm saying, Like X, Y and Z, 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.600 like this is how you gotta handle it this because 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.880 you know, he wanted them trench babies. See what people 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.600 understand us. What people understand is like he can really 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.640 have a he can really like make some money off 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.200 of his story. He got a hell of a story. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.480 Like I think his mom passed away when he was 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:50.760 like thirteen fourteen years old. Father really never never been around, 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.840 and then and then like you know, his sister and 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.120 his brother had to raise him. And then you gotta 0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:01.040 imagine they was like eighteen nineteen years old, so he's 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.600 he's thirteen. So the decision that he's making in life, 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.400 you can't fault him for it because he's figuring out 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.800 the ship pretty much on his own, you know what 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.320 I'm saying. Like, you know, I know he's he's been 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.520 going viral and a lot of like different things and 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:20.640 it's off the court life. But yeah, you can't fault him, 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.040 you know what I'm saying, Like the man, the man 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.440 is really like figuring out how to be a man 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.720 on his own. How did you How did you discover him? Though? 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.800 Like how he come across your past? Uh? You know, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:33.639 like the NBA. Like I said, I wanted to get 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.200 into coaching. I know, you say, you you you're a 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:42.159 high school coach. I'm a I'm an AU coach, and 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:43.520 you know, I want to do I want to do 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.800 college and pros. But right now I'm cool with this. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.240 So'm I got a couple of guys that are really 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.280 special right now, so I want to I want to 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:56.119 kind of like lock in with that. But I was 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.560 at the top one hundred camp, you know that, you know, 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.199 So I was at the top one hundred camp and 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:05.560 then he was like I want to say, a sophomore 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:10.159 going to be a junior, and he just destroyed the 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.440 camp like he he was from Atlanta. He he looked 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.480 like the best kid there, like guys that was like 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.360 already seniors and all that. And then that's when that summer, 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.720 that's when he got that traction. So that that's when 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:29.120 he uh reclassified up. So when he reclassified up, people 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.119 don't know that. Yeah, a lot of peoples moved up. 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.520 He moved up. I don't know if he reclassified back. 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.399 You know, you'll never see a seventeen you highlight for 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:50.800 Cooper flag. He was kicking niggas asses, don't get it twisted. 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:55.160 So I didn't know that. Yeah, so so so yeah, 0:19:55.240 --> 0:20:00.040 so so you know, he reclassified up off of the 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.080 you know, the traction he gained from that summer because 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.320 he destroyed the summer. Yeah, and he reclassified up. And 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:10.000 then he went to a school right down street from 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.400 my house. And I was just basically kind of like 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:19.800 give him information on what to expect future wise, because 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.919 I'm always thinking like five years, ten years head of 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.280 a curve, Like that's my problem, Like I'm not always 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.200 living in the moment, you know what I'm saying, I'm 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.600 always thinking about what's next, What's next? You know what 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:33.600 I'm saying, ten years, you know what I'm saying, five 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:37.320 ten years, I'm always thinking. That's how I think, That's 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.399 how I break down life, you know what I'm saying. 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.119 Like I know, like you know, Yolo and all that stuff. 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:46.240 But it's like, hey, man, look I get it, you 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.000 know what I'm saying. But I'm trying to live for 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.560 tomorrow just in case it happens. You know what I'm saying. 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:55.760 I'm that type of individual. So I was, you know, 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:57.880 I was just kind of you know, putting them down 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.800 on the information, and uh, he's a guy that's thriving 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.119 right now. I knew that he was gonna be one 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:06.880 of the faces of the n b A. What people 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:11.159 don't understand is, uh, what people don't know is he 0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:15.160 was committed to Florida State, and I kind of let 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:21.440 him understand the importance of going to Georgia around his family. 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.439 You know what I'm saying, you need to stay locked in. 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:25.480 I didn't get a dime from that, you know what 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.320 I'm saying. I'm a Georgia fan, So I kind of 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:36.480 like legendly, no, no, no, No, this is a fact. I 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.600 ain't gonna never take no lie.

So I 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:05.600 just wanted to see the the Georgia basketball organization get 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.240 back on their feet. So they back, they're back to 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.480 being on something that can brag about now. But doing 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.120 what he did was he did some trail blazer and ship. 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.600 So a lot of people are known for going to 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:23.120 different organizations and uh, different schools because of the name, 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.440 but you know, he did the right thing. 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:28.560 Yeah, I just wanted you to speak on that because 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.760 you was a big staple in his career, like his 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:32.720 career path bro, so for sure, and. 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:33.560 Some interesting you said. 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:35.680 You said, always living in the moment, think about what's 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:37.879 coming next, and even though people have their feelings about it, 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:39.520 but you always ad just like you said, all right, 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:41.159 if I'm playing the sea going forward, I gotta be 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:41.920 able to stretch the floor. 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:43.960 And that's what he always talked about earlier. That's why 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:54.399 I'm telling him team was going to guard. So that's 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:56.119 what people don't understand. That's why he just had to 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.520 get on his ass. You know what I'm saying, mano 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:02.400 back because he was added the ass guard. So once 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:04.520 I look, I was setting the screen to get me 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.280 the ball. But you know what I'm saying, so like 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.400 slip out, Hell no, look, I'm finel. Look I used 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:15.720 to mean brother gets headed up. Watch how Draymond Green 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:18.720 said screens? That's how you said scream? Then they're illegal. 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:22.560 Every screen was down the illegal. I'm moving into some ship. 0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:25.960 Josh trun get that pill by wanting to pill ball 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.600 double what a team? Can you contest that ninety percent 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.639 of the offense was ran through Joe Johnson? Oh definitely 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.600 all right there. So then so then you gotta understand 0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:42.240 seven percent was was was our Warford? You know what 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.840 I'm saying. That means it was like a little bit 0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:51.639 left three percent I need that? No, was that it 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.840 ain't needed. It's like ship, how can I get this ship? 0:23:55.560 --> 0:24:02.400 That me You know what I'm saying, Jamal too, that's 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:05.280 you know what I'm saying. So we already knew when 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.960 Jamal came in he cutting the percentage in half. You 0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:13.800 know what I'm saying, he said, I already scanned the room, 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.320 scanned it, scanned the ring, and you folk got no hooper, No, 0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:21.320 I take the shots. I'm shooting shots. 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:25.119 How you feel about like the young generation growing up 0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.920 you in the AU world now, Like do you think 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.360 it's like a I don't know, like a gap between 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.840 like the n B A and the youngsters like so 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:37.520 far as like the where they learned it from the 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:38.280 learning curve. 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:42.600 Absolutely, it's alot of bad basketball, man. Yeah, it's alot 0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:53.040 of bad basketball. And my son coffee. Yeah, it's a 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:55.159 lot of It's a lot of bad basketball man, and 0:24:56.600 --> 0:25:03.199 and too overcompensate the bad basketball. Parents are reclassifying their 0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:07.040 kids thinking that that is the answer, you know what 0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.399 I'm saying. And then what they don't understand is is 0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:16.400 that it's an oversaturation and kids working your kids out trainers. 0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:20.560 You know what I'm saying. I don't know if I 0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:24.200 spoke on this. The gift and the curse is that 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.080 the trainer is available. You know what I'm saying. The 0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:33.679 curse is is is it translating? Is what I'm showing 0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:38.640 your kids translating to the court you know what I'm saying, 0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:44.120 because in reality, all of these trainers are training these 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:50.159 kids to overdribble and they can't like I swear, like, 0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:55.360 I bet he could go to his practice and it's 0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:58.119 no more ones than twos, no more like I like. 0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:02.040 I went to my son practice and I loved, I like, 0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:04.879 I love the like, I love the decision that I 0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:09.440 made and taking him to this school and he's developing 0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:13.640 because the coach is so detailed. But it's sad because 0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:20.040 it's sad because he's happening to go to seven and 0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:24.280 saying twos and threes instead of ones and twos because 0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:29.320 you motherfuckers can't go to my too music dribbling their 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:33.520 motherfucking life away, they fucking life away, and then they 0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:37.080 can't shoot threes, and then you know, because they can't 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:39.440 shoot threes, and then when they get to the to 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:41.840 the to the whole, they can't they can't make layups. 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:47.520 So it's like it's like it's showing the kid, like, damn, 0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.280 I really need to work on my game. Y'all doing 0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:56.600 work now. Now I'm gonna put you like the reclass situation. 0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:04.119 It's only it only works middle school, elementary school. So 0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:08.160 now you like, come on, let's be let's be honest. 0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:12.600 Like I got an eyebro, like you got an eye 0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:14.240 to So you know what these you know what these 0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:17.159 you know what these recruiters are looking at. You know 0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:19.440 what these scouts are looking at. What's your mom and daddy? 0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.959 How you look? Like? Why you holding these kids back? 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:25.200 And you know these motherfuckers gonna be five? Five?

So we're trying 0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:46.280 to figure it out. Man, So what's the okay? 0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.240 So I got you like, So say you got a 0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:55.399 six four twelve year old, are you going to reclassify 0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:56.560 him lower? 0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:01.040 Hell no. If he's sad though, if he fucking jumping 0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.760 that deep end, jumping that deep end and learn how 0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:06.520 to swim, give him the game you want to. You 0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:09.639 want to always play the shallow end. Females don't like 0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:11.879 niggas had to play in the shallow end, slashing it 0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:28.360 to swim or not. I just want you to get 0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:34.960 his job. I want I want you to get saying though, Man, 0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.159 you're gonna jump in the deep end or not, Like 0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:40.480 you gotta learn how to swim. That's an analogy. Don't 0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:42.840 don't get too far deep into what I just said 0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:46.680 on some freaking ship.

But he wanted 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.560 to play He just wasn't me at the time. Like 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.040 you know what I'm saying, all of them, like our 0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:15.520 kids are different. You know what I'm saying.

But Detroit was like a city that's like Indiana. 1:08:11.960 --> 1:08:16.000 It's like you want, you want to win, you know 1:08:16.000 --> 1:08:19.400 what I'm saying, because you know, the fans are passionate 1:08:19.880 --> 1:08:22.920 about sports, you know what I'm saying. And it's not 1:08:23.000 --> 1:08:25.960 a lot of states that are really passionate about like 1:08:26.800 --> 1:08:31.120 professional sports. You got you got collegiate sports like everybody. 1:08:31.200 --> 1:08:36.519 Because it's alumni. You got what you got North Dakota 1:08:36.560 --> 1:08:40.559 State in football, that's like they'll sell out their sell 1:08:40.600 --> 1:08:43.880 out arenas because it's a following because people went to 1:08:43.920 --> 1:08:47.280 school there. But basketball is like bandwagon. You know what 1:08:47.320 --> 1:08:51.000 I'm saying. Damn there. It's like if you if you 1:08:51.120 --> 1:08:54.840 got a if you a fan of NBA team, it's 1:08:54.920 --> 1:08:59.639 because you're from there, or you got a player, yeah, player, 1:09:00.120 --> 1:09:01.960 you know what I'm saying. And Detroit to play about 1:09:02.000 --> 1:09:04.360 their teams at all, not the man, not at all. 1:09:04.400 --> 1:09:08.120 I remember when I was playing, they had like when 1:09:08.120 --> 1:09:10.720 there was an opera heels, they had like tallies of 1:09:10.960 --> 1:09:17.320 like sold out like consecutives sold out arenas, you know what, 1:09:17.640 --> 1:09:19.920 like showed out games and it was like it got 1:09:20.160 --> 1:09:24.240 like two hundred and something. So like when I seen that, 1:09:25.960 --> 1:09:29.120 like when Chauncey Billison, then was there Ben Wilson and 1:09:29.200 --> 1:09:32.120 then was there. When I was playing and I seen it, 1:09:32.200 --> 1:09:33.439 I was like, man, I want to be a part 1:09:33.479 --> 1:09:35.600 of something like that, but it just never happened. But 1:09:36.920 --> 1:09:40.200 they deserve a winning team. Indiana deserves a winning team, 1:09:40.920 --> 1:09:45.000 you know what I mean? Like not seriously though, When 1:09:45.040 --> 1:09:48.439 you when you have like passionate fans, like guys want 1:09:48.479 --> 1:09:51.479 to talk like guys like on opposing teams, it's just 1:09:51.600 --> 1:09:53.880 like a player. It's like you hate to play against them, 1:09:53.920 --> 1:09:55.920 but you love to love him to be on your team. 1:09:56.000 --> 1:10:05.280 It's like certain cities like Boston, Utah, Indiana, Detroit. You 1:10:05.360 --> 1:10:08.320 know what I'm saying. Houston is one of the one 1:10:08.320 --> 1:10:13.080 of the one of the places. Golden State definitely. Yeah. Fact, 1:10:13.200 --> 1:10:16.559 So it's like Lakers at the. 1:10:18.160 --> 1:10:23.120 I just me personally, I don't think Detroit probably need 1:10:23.240 --> 1:10:28.080 to move. Bro, Nah, they need to move, move out 1:10:28.080 --> 1:10:28.559 offer Hill. 1:10:28.600 --> 1:10:31.400 That was I think. No, it's not them, it's it's 1:10:31.439 --> 1:10:33.280 I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you a team 1:10:33.320 --> 1:10:35.560 that might need to move. Let me see. Let me 1:10:35.640 --> 1:10:42.320 think about Memphis. When I'm just saying, I'm gonna say, 1:10:42.360 --> 1:10:50.360 I'm gonna say, I say either Charlotte because they fans 1:10:50.360 --> 1:10:59.040 ain't ship like even when it's easy, like you're gonna 1:10:59.040 --> 1:11:03.880 feel the pressure. I'm gonna say, like, Charlotte, give me 1:11:04.000 --> 1:11:05.960 a West Coast team. I'm gonna give your West Coast 1:11:06.000 --> 1:11:08.040 team too. I promise you don't give you one.

So like Phoenix is a retirement place, 1:11:21.160 --> 1:11:23.040 so they ain't really like it ain't a whole lot 1:11:23.080 --> 1:11:30.160 of fans. Phoenix fans like I'm gonna say either Phoenix, Phoenix, 1:11:30.280 --> 1:11:33.920 Charlotte or like from l A like from West Coast. 1:11:33.960 --> 1:11:40.920 I mean either Phoenix CPS.

I was 1:26:18.120 --> 1:26:21.519 chasing it down before Lebron was. Now. Lebron did that 1:26:21.600 --> 1:26:25.600 ship one time with Tayshaun Prince and you know they 1:26:25.800 --> 1:26:29.320 made that like, oh that's his career, But no, I was. 1:26:29.479 --> 1:26:31.479 I was really one of the ones that that did 1:26:31.560 --> 1:26:34.920 that ship in high school, I started at McDonald's.

Are 1:26:56.600 --> 1:27:00.360 you swatten ship or you know being the best help 1:27:00.439 --> 1:27:01.920 side defender them their. 1:27:01.840 --> 1:27:04.320 Low key ever in high school? For real? To me, yeah, 1:27:04.320 --> 1:27:07.840 I got I gotta shout out of coach frank Man 1:27:07.960 --> 1:27:12.760 shouting out Celtics reci pe r P when they talking 1:27:13.200 --> 1:27:17.559 real one man, real man. He had to the man. 1:27:17.680 --> 1:27:20.120 The man had the hairline back there to his nick. 1:27:20.240 --> 1:27:25.240 You know what I'm saying. He got that look. He 1:27:25.360 --> 1:27:29.960 had that sticky just ain't stick in his mouth. He 1:27:30.120 --> 1:27:33.639 was like, chieve y'all played the chief, y'all play defense? 1:27:33.800 --> 1:27:37.400 Chief you want longemany I played defense? He had that 1:27:37.479 --> 1:27:39.479 stick in his mouth. I'm like, man, I got you. 1:27:40.280 --> 1:27:42.960 But it was a coach that I knew, Like, see 1:27:43.120 --> 1:27:46.120 one thing about these players, they don't they go through 1:27:46.240 --> 1:27:51.760 life meeting all kinds of coaches, all kinds of trainers, right, 1:27:52.520 --> 1:27:58.040 but they never rarely meet a coach that's gonna put 1:27:58.120 --> 1:28:00.599 them down on some ship, you know what I'm saying, 1:28:00.680 --> 1:28:03.920 like on some real ship. Like so he was a coach, 1:28:04.040 --> 1:28:06.600 like I was a nigga that didn't have ship. I 1:28:07.000 --> 1:28:08.880 ain't have I ain't have no money, you know what 1:28:08.880 --> 1:28:10.920 I'm saying, Like my parents ain't have no money. So 1:28:11.560 --> 1:28:14.640 whatever the program gave me, that's what I had. You 1:28:14.720 --> 1:28:16.160 know what I'm saying. I was a nigga that had 1:28:16.280 --> 1:28:19.439 like I'm getting a basketball pair of shoes for the 1:28:19.520 --> 1:28:24.280 whole year, you know what I'm saying. So I'm telling 1:28:24.400 --> 1:28:30.000 him like, Okay, I got it, Like he like he 1:28:30.800 --> 1:28:34.200 holed me down. Niggas talking about me. You know what 1:28:34.240 --> 1:28:36.439 I'm saying, my home, my teammates talking about me. I 1:28:36.439 --> 1:28:39.200 ain't got ship. He taking up for me, you know 1:28:39.200 --> 1:28:41.360 what I'm saying, because he knew I was special, Like 1:28:41.479 --> 1:28:44.040 he knew I didn't have the ship that he knew 1:28:44.040 --> 1:28:46.080 I was gonna obtain. But he just like you know 1:28:46.120 --> 1:28:48.640 what I mean, he knew so like that was a 1:28:48.840 --> 1:28:51.720 that was a that was the coach that kind of 1:28:51.800 --> 1:28:57.000 like he more than my my everything. Like then I 1:28:57.080 --> 1:29:00.960 went to Okhill. So Steve Smith was one of the 1:29:01.040 --> 1:29:04.920 mother coaches too, So like where you rank Steve Smith 1:29:05.000 --> 1:29:08.120 as like I don't care, like what level coach one 1:29:08.439 --> 1:29:11.960 he won? He won, He's one, not the two. We're 1:29:12.000 --> 1:29:14.439 going rankings where you work yourself at O Hill. 1:29:14.840 --> 1:29:20.560 You got Mellow, I'm got Rondo, I'm top five, you 1:29:20.720 --> 1:29:25.599 got Jackson on top five, So I'm the five. 1:29:26.200 --> 1:29:34.639 I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say Mellow, stack House, me Rondo, 1:29:36.840 --> 1:29:40.559 Kevin Durant, Are you gonna call KD? But he went 1:29:40.600 --> 1:29:42.040 to Mount I mean he ends up going to Mouth. 1:29:42.120 --> 1:29:47.120 O Hell, you got you got Michael Beasley. All these 1:29:47.200 --> 1:29:52.559 niggas went to school there. So are we doing graduates? Graduating? Okay? 1:29:52.680 --> 1:30:01.320 So me Carmelo, stack House Ron though, you gotta have 1:30:01.479 --> 1:30:02.679 the Jenis in their. 1:30:04.200 --> 1:30:06.599 Sight before we get out of here. Last question back 1:30:06.640 --> 1:30:11.719 and forth. Sure the BJS Arondo conversation, OK Hill. Rondo 1:30:11.800 --> 1:30:16.120 broke a record for assist. So it's like, are you 1:30:16.240 --> 1:30:17.960 a point guard or your shooting guard? 1:30:18.840 --> 1:30:22.400 Because you can't want to be a point guard because 1:30:23.560 --> 1:30:26.040 it's shooting guard. So you get to shoot the ball 1:30:27.040 --> 1:30:30.960 and the point guard. So point guard is the he's 1:30:31.040 --> 1:30:33.800 the set up man. And my honorable mention goes to 1:30:33.920 --> 1:30:41.560 thy lawson. T loss you, Michael Michael Beasley, my my 1:30:41.760 --> 1:30:44.000 dog man. He got he got. He got kicked out 1:30:44.040 --> 1:30:48.360 because he was autographing everything. Now that's what people don't know. 1:30:48.400 --> 1:30:51.000 He was an autographing. This what got him. He autographed 1:30:51.040 --> 1:30:53.840 the bumper sticker of the deans of the school. That's 1:30:53.880 --> 1:31:01.680 what kicked out. He's autographing library books, everything, shirts he 1:31:01.800 --> 1:31:04.439 won the Grass High school basketball player. I would love 1:31:04.479 --> 1:31:10.160 to see autograph book.
