BROKEN PLAY | NAVV GREENE FT. IMAN SHUMPERT & REGGIE BALL | S04 | EP 52
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video centers on a multifaceted debate within the basketball community, primarily addressing the controversy surrounding transgender athletes in women's leagues and the inherent physical advantages that might create safety risks for female players. The discussion also critiques media figures who trivialize these concerns through unprofessional behavior, such as throwing objects onto courts, labeling it hate speech. Beyond these societal issues, the conversation delves deeply into specific WNBA talent, praising the winning mentality of Angel Reese, the team impact of Caitlin Clark, and the dominant presence of Olivia Miles, while also highlighting legendary defenders like Maya Moore and undrafted international stars such as Sydney Taylor. This analysis of women's basketball is complemented by reflections on NBA icons, including Klay Thompson, Joel Embiid, and Amari Bailey, setting the stage for a broader exploration of player dynamics and legacy.
Former NBA players Iman Shumpert and Navv Greene share personal anecdotes that illuminate their careers and evolving roles within the league. Shumpert reflects on his college days at Georgia Tech under Coach Paul Hewitt, recalling the coach's strict discipline regarding academics and conduct, as well as a pivotal moment where he felt personally responsible for a loss due to a concussion protocol issue, which fueled a breakthrough performance later in the season. He discusses the unique challenges of defending elite guards like Kevin Durant and James Harden, noting how Kyrie Irving's patience and dribbling allowed him to cross over Shumpert effectively. Greene adds his perspective on team chemistry, recounting the heartbreak of the 2015 Cleveland Cavaliers season where injuries to key players prevented a championship run despite their talent, and he contrasts the "hooper" mentality of Kevin Durant with LeBron James' initial reluctance to join the Cavs due to rivalries with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
The dialogue extends beyond the court to explore the shifting landscape of fan loyalty, the economic influence of star players on city branding, and the mental aspects of being a Black athlete in professional sports. Shumpert highlights how Jaylen Brown's departure from Cleveland altered team strategy and praises J.R. Smith for balancing street life with a Six Man of the Year season, emphasizing that one can maintain professionalism while navigating personal challenges. Greene expresses his deep emotional connection to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, even joking about preferring them to lose so LeBron James could have a clearer legacy, arguing that greatness builds upon previous generations like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Both speakers also touch on the evolution of basketball skills in modern eras, comparing past legends to current players who unlock new abilities at a young age, while Shumpert shares a touching story about Michael Jordan disrupting a high school game to watch his son play, underscoring the respect legends command regardless of context.
In addition to basketball analysis, the hosts discuss their transitions into acting and media entrepreneurship, with Shumpert noting the need to consciously adjust his Chicago accent for roles and praising Country Wayne's innovative content creation model that generates significant revenue without traditional studio contracts. Greene reflects on his childhood struggles in Chicago, including family dynamics where he had to "fake" discipline from his father, and shares stories of learning money management after throwing tantrums over shoes. The conversation also covers the unique status of reality TV audiences analyzing fights through a basketball lens rather than fearing legal repercussions, and addresses the scandal involving 49ers owner Jed York, questioning why personal failings of billionaires receive media attention while affecting their professional standing. The episode concludes with Greene detailing his current parenting approach focused on outdoor play and limiting screen time for his daughters, expressing a desire for a son, before ending with professional announcements regarding booking inquiries for the 85 South Show and a promotion for their independent streaming service, Channel 85.

it's men. And I want you to know that is
the gayest thing that you can do is to
go to a store, a sex shop, buy a dildo,
come to a woman's game to throw the
dildo on the court. That is the gayest
[ __ ] that I've ever heard. So, um, I'm a
firm believer in anyone that has so much
problem with a certain marginalized
group,
>> just come out and say that you're a part
of our marginalized group because that
hate is unworthy.
>> I just don't think this [ __ ] funny. It's

got that off.

>> It's not even I don't think it's
promotion of hate. I think it's just
like

tell she feels strongly about it. But as
an athlete, even when you feel that
we're media trained to be like, "Don't
say that."
>> A professional professional.
>> Like even her using gay as a term.
>> But I think that but I think that's I
think that's why she went unprofessional
is cuz she like please stop doing
unprofessional [ __ ] while I'm doing my
professional [ __ ] on this court. Like
I'm so serious about this [ __ ]
>> If you do that again, like I get the
aggression. It's just like I'm looking
at it like damn, bro. I thought I would

the n-word?
>> A lot.
>> So, how many times you went on on in a
press conference and just went crazy and
took off your pro professional coat.

the league cuz I don't care. You can
call me whatever you I want to win that
game so bad.
>> You can call me whatever you want. Just
after the game, just go to your house. I
I just

after the game I become Iman like

they ain't [ __ ] with you.

it though. Like

>> I've been waiting my whole life to go
play Boston to see if they really do
that.
And they do it.
>> Oh, they do it.
>> Damn [ __ ]
>> Utah. They do it.
>> Utah.
>> But you know, you watch the crowd. I
watched them Bulls play Utah. And I'm
like, bro, like they out there doing
that. Like they saying that like, do you
see these crowds? I'm like, they had
their face painted. They yelling at the

>> Debatable."
>> I mean,

in Tennessee, baby. Go ahead.
>> She another one that could go.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, she could go for sure.
>> She just got
>> Hey, you know, I'm going tell y'all they
talking about Olivia Miles
>> is the coldest.
>> She's Maya Moore over again.
>> I can't say that.
>> Okay,
>> she is Hey, she is Maya Moore all over
again.
>> I see.
>> Well, that's a lot. Now,
>> she go
>> she go out there and
Go look at Maymore. How
>> might be a little more used to take that
ball, put it in one hand, serve the
pizza and lay you up, scoop you. But
it's like
>> that's the thing we was talking about
with uh men.
>> Yeah.
>> A man do that. A man going to be on top
of you ready to block that [ __ ] With
women, they just don't play as
aggressive. When you put this out there
like that and they see how far they have
to go, they don't even try it. She be by
herself scooping that. You know what I'm
saying? Like
>> I watch that [ __ ] is so much like Maya
Moore. And Maya Moore was a [ __ ]
winner in a league that was honestly way
more aggressive.
>> Listen, she like Mount Rushmore WNBA.
Correct.
>> Man, she's so cold.
>> Hell yeah.
>> Damn. Hey, so Asia still number one for
the MVP.
>> I mean, oh, Asia one of the coldest.
>> Oh, no. No, for sure. I get that. I just
think they got a better team though.
Like, you know, way better. Yeah. So,
it's like your team. But what?
>> Kaitlin Cart coming. That's your you
that's your argument all the time with
MVP.
>> Yeah. I feel like if I take this player
away now get Asia is the best player in
the WNBA. I'm saying that. I know that.
But I'm saying if you take her away from
that team, they still got a good team.
>> They're not going to win.
>> They ain't going to win no championship.
But they still got a good team.
>> They're not going to win.
>> You don't think they'll win at all?
>> You just said they ain't going to win no
championship. They not gonna win.
>> Yeah.
>> That's the important part.
>> That's the important part. They win and
she's there. championship.
>> If she's not there, there's no wins. Do
you not realize that she hit the last
shot? That's her.
>> Most valuable player. That means
>> she is valuable as [ __ ]
>> She the best player in the league.
That's just like, okay, with Braun,
Braun could have won the MVP every year.
>> He could have. That's always the
argument.
>> Yeah. So, I'm saying
>> now you see why people be saying, "Why
y'all go so hard for LeBron?" Cuz LeBron
could have won the MVP every year for
sure.
>> It's honestly debatable. But people do
go off like could you say Steph Curry
shouldn't have been the MVP?
>> No. He
>> Can you say Kevin Durant wasn't MVP?
>> Braun was in all these conversations,
bro.
>> If I had to get an MVP this year, I
would give it to Olivia Mile.
>> Why?
>> Cuz nobody with with Ka being hurt,
nobody saw Minnesota. They still got the
best record.
>> They still holding it.
>> Yeah. She had been hurt all season. Am I
lying though?
>> Yeah, Fee was hurt.
>> Yeah.
>> So, you go for like the the
>> Yeah, she been running the team. No lie.
>> Like more so the splash the impact like
the overall like almost like a surprise
element that come along with the MVP as
opposed to just
>> cuz I'm alone. You feel me?
>> I like the gravity of Asia Wilson.
>> Like they still ain't figured out Olivia
Miles.
>> They have fullblown defensive swings for
Asia Wilson. Okay.
>> You change your defensive night. Your
whole game plan changes.
>> No, she the best player in the league.
>> But that's what I'm saying. Is it the
same thing when you see Olivia Miles or
is it just a tough matchup?
>> Right now it's a tough matchup.
>> We'll see when she get to the playoffs
how she really get down.
>> Yeah. cuz then they gonna throw a whole
defensive scheme at you. And that's
usually when you see people hit a wall
>> cuz like you ain't never dealt with for
a a real live look at it in a series
>> a [ __ ] going to be on you
different like
>> during the season you came off the ball
screen they hedged hard.
>> Yeah.
>> It was a baby trap. They got away
>> [ __ ] in the playoffs you come off that
[ __ ] airtight sealed all over you too
to where you like foul [ __ ] Damn.
Like, wo. Like, you trying to get rid of
it. But it get like that even with women
where it gets serious and they start
saying, "Dog, this is what she do. She
served the pizza. When she do that, we
going to help off somebody come poke at
that. She not playing with one hand
tonight. All this one hand [ __ ] is out
tonight." But it's like during the
season, you let a young player go out
here and show you all they got. You
really, you really going to make it look
like they that, you know what I'm
saying? You can't deal with her because
you just trying [ __ ] but you trying it
so you can write it down. Okay, this
didn't work.
>> So, I like my I base my pick off of who
I like like style of game.
>> So, who
>> I like Olivia style of game.
>> I love it.
>> Like
>> and Caitlyn Clark.
>> Oh, she really broke.
>> But I'm saying like them like my kind
who
>> them but these my kind of players that
I'm like I just like the way they play.
>> Paige. Yeah.
>> Mhm.
>> Paige is nice.
>> Paige is flashy too.
>> She flashy. She talk a lot.
>> She do talk some [ __ ] My favorite uh in
the what you call in the W is always uh
Courtney Williams. Ever since I seen
Courtney Williams play
>> Oh, with Minnesota.
>> She's so aggressive.
>> Yeah,
>> I love her.
>> Cuz she was at she was in Chicago first.
>> But she just every time she scored
looked like [ __ ]
pop when her pops was at the game doing
that with her pop.
>> That's what they do. Like you know what
I'm saying? Like I like her aggression.
She got that dog in her and she play at
that choppy pace.
Um, but yeah, Olivia is Yeah,
>> she a rookie. So,
>> but we'll see. That's only
after I see. She definitely rookie of
the year for [ __ ] show.

>> Yeah,
>> but you never know, man. It might be
what Clay need cuz if anything, Giannis
going to give him some Oh my god, that
lady got go.
She in the right city, too.
It look good on paper for Clay though
for Miami.
>> He gonna have the shot.
>> Yeah, it look good on paper.
>> Yeah, he'll have time to get his shot
off and stuff
>> if we still got it.
>> It just about just about being healthy.
That's all.
>> Like how he feel about Lamar. That's how
I feel about Clay.
>> Why?
>> Like that window
>> championships,
>> man. I think [ __ ] [ __ ] ain't young.
>> It's like it ain't really as effective
old.
>> Yeah, I'm saying. But I'm saying like
when they say [ __ ] ain't young like
the like what what else he he got to
prove?
>> He ain't got to prove nothing. I'm just
saying like I'm not so like ah about him
going down like I would have been.
>> That's what I mean. That's what we mean
about
>> five years ago. Huh?
>> That's what we mean about fit like
>> oh
>> Klay Thompson may not beh
coming downhill. in Greek
>> if it's and it's antenna.
Antenna Kmpo.
>> Antenna Kumbo.
>> Yeah. But I ever the first time I seen
it, I said I tended to ko and it's just
it's a little rhythm thing for me. I
>> It is.
>> Anyway, if he going downhill and you
have to
>> go in like that to to stop him, then you
kick it out to Clay. It's like, yeah,
Clay might not be able to get his [ __ ]
off how he used to where
>> you be standing there and he'll just pop
you like he may not be laser like that
no more, but if you leave Klay Thompson
open,
>> you don't want to do that. He could
have. They could have.
>> He might miss the first one, but you
ain't just going to keep getting Yeah.
You ain't going to never not run out
there to goddamn defend that [ __ ]
>> That going to get bigger and bigger
every time.
>> You going to actually have to play
defense.
>> Yeah.
>> Type [ __ ] Yeah,
>> type [ __ ]
>> That's good.
>> But the similar similar roster though.
>> Hey, ain't [ __ ] I don't know. On paper
right now, ain't none of this [ __ ]
mattering. If you got to go against
Philly,
>> fixes in, bro.
>> Man, fixes in.
>> These [ __ ] could get whoever they want
to goddamn get on the team. That goddamn
Philly team. You saw Tyrese Maxi was
talking about it.
>> He was like, "Shit." He said, "I ain't
know they call um Embiid process
>> the process trespass."
>> Yeah. Like they they but I'm saying a I
know that was in Nick. I ain't knowing
they called him like it referred to him
at that. Yeah. He was like so process
going you know what I mean if he could
play 40 game. I'm like they called a
[ __ ] process.
>> So he was like but I'm saying you know I
like I noticed
>> we was going to call him Joel.
>> I'm think
like
>> right.
>> No but I ain't going to lie. He has the
whole time we've been calling him
process.
>> Process.
>> So a [ __ ] dab him up process. What the
hell going on? What up process? Same
>> [ __ ]
I ain't going to
>> lie. I don't know. Home that trust the
process. Uh
>> that's his nickname. That's like like
Paul Pierce. People used to call him
truth.
>> Truth. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Like Well, especially when you refer to
him. I don't think as much you would say
it.
>> Ticket. Yeah. You called him cuz he was
the big ticket. Like when you earn your
nickname, it makes sense like that.
>> Cuz you earn your nickname in the
league. You know what I'm saying? Like
Mike,
>> everybody wanted to be like Mike. Yeah,
>> that [ __ ] But he was saying like, bro,
he was like with I think it's going to
be easy. He was like, you know what I
mean? If they if they sit out, I might
go for 35 some games. I might go 18.
Like, I ain't he was like, we just want
to win
>> straight up.
>> He just talking like that. Tyrese Maxi
is like,
>> he ain't never been through it though.
>> You got You got to You got to be that.
All right. Say
>> that last moment that LeBron had. I just
I be I be telling people, especially
with Braun, sometimes it take
>> two years just because the first time
playing with Braun, it's just new for
everybody.
>> Yeah.
>> It ain't the same. It ain't the same.
Games ain't never meant that much.
>> Like every game.
>> Every game.
>> And they watching
>> we Yeah.
>> Yeah. And they expect you to win. And if
this man ain't playing well, it's like
now
we ain't game playing for that. Like all
our plays is kind of ran and tailored
through.
>> Yeah.
>> You get what I'm saying? But it's like
it's just different. Like people don't
understand that. Like you may come out
>> and Yeah. you you see that this man
can't guard me or you feel like that,
but it's like, "Hey bro, first play for
Kevin Love." You know what I'm saying?
They go hit them with the Hey, bro.
first play for you. What you doing?
>> Mhm.
>> Throw that thing in there cuz if you
miss it and they make it and y'all lose
by two.
>> Yeah. They going to remember that.

we lit. We rolling through the like I'm
cool with it now.
>> But I'm like,
>> [ __ ] this was an adjustment, bro. Like

level mentally when I was playing over
there like
>> Yeah. Like

could have gave it another year or
something like that or you think it it
had
>> with the Knicks?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh yeah. We we should have we should
have been together for a while.

"Bro, I want to go where Mike went."
>> I called him. I'm like, "Coach,

y'all keep mentioning other stuff like,
"Am I going to play point? I want the

>> [ __ ] up right there just let him talk
I'm going right back to that gas station
to the gas station leave me at magic

>> Yeah. I was mad I played there. I was
mad as [ __ ]

>> That was no pitch from Paul Hewitt, too.
Uh Paul Hwitt was a genuine coach and he
genuinely cared about every
>> uh dare I say uh colored athlete on that
campus. Well,
>> he pulled me a couple times to the side
just to have sidebar conversations about
leadership
>> and holding myself and conducting myself
the way I'm supposed to be. So, shout
out to Paul for that,
>> man. Tall Paul Hewitt, man.
>> Tall Paul come in there with them big
ass slacks like Jordan. His big as
>> tall Paul Hewitt. He used to kick y'all
out,
>> huh? Yo, he used to get on our ass about
everything, boy.
>> Him and Zack Peacock. Zack Peacock. You
remember Zack Peacock?
>> Zack Peacock. Crazy ass. Shout out my
boy Zack Peacock, man. Zack Peacock
crazy ass was like a extension of Paul
Hewitt, man. Paul Hewitt give us a rule
stack going enforce the [ __ ] out that
[ __ ] Oh god.
>> No [ __ ]
>> on my mama. I used to be mad as hell.
They used to be want like I'll do
anything basketball-wise, dog. But when
you start telling me how I got to read,
how I got to
you feel me?
>> My type of guy.
>> Like you can't Yeah. You can't tell me.
Like if you say we got study hall for
this long, cool. But in this study hall,
I might not want to do nothing.
>> Yeah, I'm chilling.
>> Oh, I'mma get my work done cuz that's
what I do. If we got to have a team
study hall, cool. I don't want to study
next to y'all.
>> I ain't doing that.
>> N when you knew like while at Georgia
Tech like, but I'm going to the league.
Facts.
>> But you like that was always like a
dream growing up and all that.
when it was
>> I mean, yeah, I always wanted to go.
>> Yeah.
>> When I felt like I I was going
>> probably that first time we played North
Carolina cuz the actually the first
first time
>> Tyler uh
>> Hero.
>> Tyler Hanssboro. I was going to say
Hero. Shout out to Tyler Hero.
>> Tyler Hans.
>> Hansboro.
>> I fa to say uh Hansboro.
>> Um he caught me with a elbow. Yeah.
>> And I was trying to come back in the
game and I answered some [ __ ] wrong as
hell for percussion uh concussion
protocol. I got the tweaking because he
really did ring my [ __ ] Like I ain't
know what was going on. Like
>> they asked me some [ __ ] about like what
day it was. So I just tweaked just said
anything like I'm trying to play though.
I'm hyped like come on man get me back
out there. They like what day is it?
Saturday. They like [ __ ] Yeah
[ __ ] sit down. You over with. You don't
even know where you know where you at.
You know what I'm saying? Like I was
just saying anything cuz I was just
thinking like this [ __ ] just hit me out
the game for I need to go in there and
throw a elbow or something like [ __ ] I
know enough to know that. Like I know I
just got hit with a elbow and y'all just
let it happen. Ain't nobody fight like
what? And then you know what I'm saying?
I I I came back
and played them the next time from that
concussion [ __ ] and I had my first 30.
But before the game I remember Coach
Huitt said, "Shout to coach you for this
shit." He say,
"And you know what? We got a great game
plan. We We did great. But if we lose,
it's cuz this [ __ ] right here
don't got it. He pointed that me and
shit." Oh, [ __ ] what? All right. All
right. But I felt like he wasn't just
saying it. He was saying like, "I'mma
challenge you, but I'm also letting you
know at the end of the game,
it's on you. So if you got to do a
couple little more little extra little,
you know what I'm saying? Get it off.
>> Yeah.
>> But we better win type [ __ ] And I felt
like it was on me. Every time we played
North Carolina, just felt like [ __ ]
know it's on me.
>> And then like when you say like you knew
that's the game
>> after that game. Yeah. It was on ESPN.
Yeah.
>> That's the game [ __ ] watching.
>> Everybody was watching. Yeah.
>> We was on ESPN. We won. I I played well.
>> I had like 16 in the first half. Like it
was just I was just going like
everything just made sense all of a
sudden. And then everybody was like I
could tell how people was looking at me
and [ __ ] like I'm like oh they ain't but
the coaches was talking different to me.
>> Yeah.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like you know
what I mean? The teachers start talking
different cuz they like Yeah, he gone.
>> Yeah.
>> In their mind they like he hiring the
agent.
>> What season was it?
>> What?
>> This my second year
>> cuz you after you you was out of there
in two,
>> huh?
>> You was out of there in two years.
>> No, three.
>> Oh, you did three. Okay. I stayed that
third year.
>> Oh, okay. I uh the real reason I I hurt
my I had to get my knee cleaned up.
>> Oh, scope.
>> Yeah,
>> I had to get a scope done on my knee.
>> I don't them damn surgeries and [ __ ]
But listen, so like who was the toughest
person you had to defend cuz we know you
heavy on the
>> defense
>> defense side. And so I'm I'm assuming
they always put you with the you know
you're the best defender.
I say like
it's so hard to answer this because it's
like
it's some hard people to defend, right?
>> Kevin Durant was just a bad matchup.
Like
[ __ ] you're seven feet.
>> Shoot that [ __ ]
>> Yeah. But you play like a guard.
>> Yeah. But no matter what I do, even when
my instincts, because that's my best
thing. My instincts are really good. But
it's like even if I guess perfectly,
you're still too tall. Like I can't
block this. Like I have to get it before
it even goes up. And it's like if you
get it to the, you know what I'm saying?
Get it there. I know it's not. It's
either you missed it,
>> but it ain't
>> I didn't I didn't do [ __ ] Like so I
felt like that. Uh sometimes regarding
him, I'd say James Harden made me that
was the first time I had to adjust who I
was.
>> I'm like I'm not I'm you don't get to do
crossovers in front of me. Like I just
don't allow it. It's like not a thing at
all.
>> You ain't get crossed up.
>> I've been crossed.
>> Who crossed you?
>> Kai.
>> Kai crossed me. Kai the only person that
Well, I've been crossed a couple times
though. Like I done got mixed a few
times. I mean like a time where you was
like, "Damn, that's going to be on ESPN.
>> Ky made me touch Earth."
>> That's a bad [ __ ] though.
>> Kyrie about the only that ever made me.
>> You know which one it was. What do
>> you do nothing crazy? He just
>> Kyrie's got this thing of like he's he's
very patient.
Most people that I guard
after dribbling and trying to get by me,
you done used 10 dribbles. I'm counting
your dribbles.
>> Once you get to 15, 20 dribbles. Now,
I'm going to test your handle. I'mma let
you rock out. Your first four or five
dribbles, I'll respect them. Long as you
don't cross over, I'll respect it. You
can get off, do whatever. Once you
dribble after a certain bit, you start
getting looser. You start jagging.
Nobody drills to be dribbling. I think
Kyrie drills to dribble the whole time
because he
>> it's no difference. His speed don't like
some people get tired cuz they like I
attack attack. He can attack, back out,
walk, go again. Like it was like, bro,
I've never dealt with somebody and he
just surprised me that time. He
>> I thought he was walking at all. Like
man, you tired? I'm tired. Nope.
>> In and out behind the back. I'm like, oh
[ __ ] Oh, help help. Tyson, Tyson,
Tyson. Hey, hey, I'll take yours. Take
mine.
>> Damn on bro with it. Roll that [ __ ] I
was Damn. But yeah, nobody else.
>> He scored.
>> Hell yeah, he scored.
>> Damn,
>> that [ __ ]
>> [ __ ] that [ __ ] cold.
>> But yeah, James James the only [ __ ]
made me adjust though
>> where it's like
>> you got to play James Harden. I'll let
you do that crossover cuz I don't want
to get a foul. I have to save my fouls
until the fourth quarter against you.
>> Like
>> I know the ball's right there. I know
it's right there.
>> I'm not going to reach cuz I'm gonna get
called for a foul whether I get the ball
or not.
>> So it was like I had never had to change
who I don't let [ __ ] do that.
>> You can't just just put the ball in my
face. I'm just letting that happen. Hell
no. But I was getting so many fouls. I
done smack James in the beer. He does.
He like something.
>> He like, "Do for real.
>> Know what time it is. Stop going in
there half stepping." And you know what
I'm talking about. I ain't trying to get
all in nobody business, but if you ain't

going on, but what I would prefer is for
my [ __ ] going to do anything like that,
man.
>> You don't pay that [ __ ] and keep it.
>> No, it ain't like that. you know, like
like skill set wise, like when I think
when you first came in the league, how
you was just dunk and all that type of
[ __ ] but like [ __ ] didn't realize
like you was a defense special. Like
when that [ __ ] just like clicked the
whole time.
>> I always had to play defense. The thing
>> Yeah, I know. Of course. But it's like
>> league only thing what happened, Melo
shot the ball so much y'all didn't see
me shoot.
>> So y'all thought that's what I wanted to
do. Like [ __ ] no. Melo shoots 20, 30
times a game, [ __ ] Like,
>> but I'm saying [ __ ] and JR, right?
lock up. JR right here too. He need to
get off. And then [ __ ] it's like, bro,
I played the video game with these
[ __ ] I felt great about
>> coming down. I do have a dunk. I could
be thirsty and get my average up. But
I'm totally throwing uh Switch this
live.
>> Yeah.
>> I I just threw a live to J.R. Smith. I'm
totally
>> on cloud N. Yeah. Like I'm going to
sleep like a baby. Like you see what I'm
saying? Like and I feel like
>> when I came to the league, I'm like,
bro, it's not needed. this team don't
need I've always had to do everything.
I'm like they don't need me to do that.
They really just need a [ __ ] that can
cut the head off the snake. I'm like I
don't know why. Like I would have did
that even if y'all needed 25 out of me.
You get what I'm saying? But it was like
I also played my games where I was
getting off and I got that talk like hey
bro
Melo get 100 million a year. You know
what I mean? He probably million 100
million. You making million. You should
probably give the ball. Like you should
probably give him the ball. Like I don't
know,
>> you know.
>> Yeah. Like
>> get your ass up or you
>> So like
>> you going to be on the Bobcat for the
border, [ __ ]
>> The Bobcat.
>> Oh, you remember the Bobcat?
>> Yeah. Like they going to get they going
to get you out of here now. They going
to get you out of here now.
>> You want to be in North Carolina? Get
your ass down there.
keep doing that [ __ ]
>> Yeah, they but yeah, they had that
conversation with me. And then I I think
naturally though I I've always taken the
challenge. So it's like I guarded the
best player in high school cuz in
Chicago growing up we don't have that
thing where you can
D Rose had to guard a threeman like it's
not his matchup
>> but he's the best player.
>> Best on best.
>> You're the best player.
>> Yeah. Okay. If we lose, it got to go
down with our best player. Like,
>> right,
>> what you mean? Like, and honestly, as
the best player, you I feel like you
should be insulted at the end of the
game.
>> Like, I honestly felt like in when I was
playing, I'm I'm honored that Braun and
Melo at the end of the game would let me
guard whoever. But I actually was, you
know, waiting on the day Braun or Melo
just say,
>> "Hey, man, get the get the [ __ ] out of
here for this. [ __ ] it's the fourth
quarter, [ __ ] You feel me? Like, I
felt like that day should have came when
it's like, "Shunk, get your Matter of
fact, Melo did it once when we played
Braun. He was in Miami and Melo had that
50 ball." Okay.
>> He definitely said, "No, Shump, that's
out. You got DW that's it. You don't get
nothing."
>> But [ __ ] that's still got
>> that's still like
>> [ __ ]
>> But anyway, I'm just saying I I was He
was saying all bets off. Like if Dwey
and Braun, somebody come scream for each
other. You're not switching on to Braun.
>> Like you have no responsibility when it
come to Braun. All y'all stay out of my
way. But it was like a personal day for
Melo. I don't know if he just got more
sleep, but he was on [ __ ] You know
what I'm saying? But he had that. But I
was expecting in the fourth quarter,
>> like if the game's on the line, I don't
care if coach had me guarding the point
guard. If the center got 30 and I got 30
and it's the end of the [ __ ] game and
I know you going to do a ISO, [ __ ]
you're going by me or you're not
scoring.
>> It's got to happen. Yeah.
>> Period. That's how I would have to like
I wouldn't have took no offense to Melo
being like Shan, get the [ __ ] out of
here. Or
>> Braun being like, "Shump lady to death.
Get the [ __ ] out of here."
>> Yeah.
>> Get the [ __ ] in the corner. Shump
corner. Now,
I wouldn't have minded then cuz it's
just like
>> at that I know why you telling
But it's like, you know what I mean? It
it it happened like that. And I was
like, bro, I'm cool with that. If that's
what's going to get me
>> Yeah.
>> on team that want to win and Yeah. give
me my bag, then I'm down. [ __ ] Now the
3 and D players, them [ __ ] getting
like 100 mil. I'm like, [ __ ] I'm three
three years too late. Yeah.
>> Yeah. I started at No, no. I was start
in New York. That's how I started.
>> It just I tore my when I tore my ACL.
Uh, Raymond Felton happened.
No, no, no. I lied. Before Raymond
Felton happened, I hurt my uh MCL, my
knee,
and then
Jay Lynn happened.
>> Doesn't it?
>> Linsanity happened. That's what
happened.
>> Oh, Jeremy Lynn.
>> Lynsanity happened and they
>> Man, cut that the damn speaker off.
the insanity happened. Jay Lynn went on
his [ __ ] and then they start being like,
"Well,
instead of Jay Lynn having to guard the
point guard, just slide run two point
guards." Like, at first that's how they
talk to us.
>> Y'all two point guards. Like, [ __ ]
[ __ ] We got a problem bringing the ball
up for y'all two point guards. Like, so
I was looking at it like that and then
it naturally start morphing cuz I was
athletic. [ __ ] threw me a couple lobs.
people start liking looking at it like
that. And then Raymond came and they
kind of wanted me to do the same thing
with Raymond. How? Because Jayen left
us. Jaylen went and got his bag.
>> Yeah.
>> But he left. He got up out of the
Houston months.
>> Went to Houston.
>> Uhuh.
>> After that, where did he
>> Charlotte?
>> Charlotte. Oh, Charlotte.
>> Serious.
>> Yeah, it was Charlotte. I think he got
paid in Charlotte, I want to say.
>> But yeah, Jay Le and then Raymond came
in. and they slid me to two and then
after that people just was like
>> he's a 3 and D guy. I'm like nope I just
like playing basketball and if they say
that I feel like as a basketball player
I should be able to
>> you just a real team player. That would
sound
>> but I feel like I should be able to do
everything. I thought it was strange as
hell when [ __ ] like no you guard him.
What?
>> You was on that team uh when JR won the
six man of the year.
>> Hell yeah.
>> So speaking of being a team player and
doing everything uh you know J.R. Smith
was criticized for burning both ends of
the candle that year alone.
>> Yeah.
>> And even got pulled to the side and they
was like, "Hey, bro,
>> I think a vet on your team or or an exec
was like, "Hey, you can't do both, bro.
You can't hit these New York streets and
still come out and perform." He said,
"Watch this." In that very year, he won
six man of the year.
>> Was you in them streets?
>> Cool.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Right with him.
>> So,
>> I was right with him.
>> Right with him. So, give me a typical
night of Aman and Jr. just out parlaying
and and and and enjoying New York City.
>> I had this like rhinoplasty
uh wrap on my Jeep.
>> Yeah.
>> So, it was like bumpy but flat and it
the Jeep would just, you know, it was
souped up. I ain't going to lie. It just
it looked extra,
>> right?
>> And Swiss couldn't drive. So, Swish used
to have a driver and [ __ ] So you'll
like see switching, you know, little S5.
>> Uhhuh.
>> You know what I mean? He going to be
parked all nice. Melo's Mayback right
there.
You know, I might park my Jeep on the
sidewalk.
>> Yeah.
>> Do some [ __ ]
>> Yeah. On the sidewalk. But yeah, we
yeah, we was like it was to the like to
the point where like on a regular night
like
>> you know how they'll be holding the line
and [ __ ] doing all that like we just
walk like it was like security they'll
just be like what up Shump what up they
like it's it's
>> yeah Bottle Girls was cool. They like
knew us at that point like they like oh
yeah they good. We going to sit you
right here like y'all don't
>> y'all should be good
>> bro. that man ran the streets and
everybody knew it and still came up with
a sixman uh uh uh of the year.
>> People don't realize there's also a
mental aspect to it. Like it ain't all
this is and this is why they have to pay
black people, right?
Black people are going to enjoy
whatever.
>> Come on now.
>> I don't give a damn. We might Yeah. We
might trick it all, whatever,
>> but black people
play the game a certain way because
they're in love with it.
>> Yeah.
>> You know what I'm saying? And it's like
>> within that, it brings a party. It
brings people come around, but it's like
some people need to see that and then go
to sleep and wake up charged up because
they like, "My people going to be there.
>> I got this." Like, and they lock in. I
don't know what it is. Like people don't
realize it about JR though. JR is super
family oriented. He used to have his
kids, his his nieces, nephews, everybody
at the game,
>> his dad at the game, his mom at the
game, his cousins, his friends,
>> you know, he's from Jersey, so it's like
right there. So it's like he that family
room used to be juking for Swiss. I
ain't going to lie.
>> Yeah. I mean, Melo had his people, of
course, they got they nice little round
table,
>> but it you could tell like, and we be
talking about it a lot of time, like you
could tell when players don't hang out
with each other like or like you know,
oh yeah, we tight.
>> Yeah. You could tell like
>> so it be like it's some team like I be
thinking when your team go further is
like when [ __ ] is actually cool with
each other. It's like cuz then it just
like work.
>> I tell you the one thing they did that
was [ __ ] up. They got rid of Steve
Novak. They sent Steve Novak away that
year after he was doing the belt. They
sent him away and gave us Andrea
Banyani.
And I'm sorry, Dre, I don't I don't have
no like personal issue with you as a
man, but as far as our team, like he was
not a good fit.
>> It threw it off, threw the chemistry
off.
>> The vibe was just not there. And it was
there
>> with with Stevie Novak, dog. And it was
just like, why
I felt like New York was still under
that act where it was like, "Get a new
coach, get a new coach, get a new
coach." It's just like, "Bro, can y'all
just chill?"
>> Like, pick a coach and chill for a
second.
>> Give him a minute. [ __ ]
>> You see what I'm saying? Like, give a
[ __ ] two, three years to figure this
out, to even see who we got to beat on
the other side. Like, you know what I
mean? Like, we don't even know who's the
big bad wolf in the East right now. And
we just firing coaches like so quick. I
just don't understand it. So, I was
like, if we' have had more years
together, I feel like we'd have been
we'd have been decent. I ain't going to
lie. But they should have never got rid
of Stevie Novak, dog.
>> That was different.
>> But that was some good time, boy. I'm
telling you. Greenhouse whip,
man. New York was different. One Oak
back then.
>> Yeah.
>> For all this social media [ __ ]
>> I can only imagine.
>> Hey, you love you from New York. So like
to go from New York to Cleveland, them
two different that was like two
different worlds, huh?
>> Yeah. But Cleveland got this, you know
what I'm saying? Like
>> No, I'm talking about like team
>> like Cleveland was in the playoffs. I
wasn't tripping.
>> Yeah.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like, oh, you
got to go to Cleveland.
I'm going to Cleveland.
>> Thanks.
>> I missing my Cleveland trip. Like, I'm
going to Cleveland.
>> All right.
>> I like Cleveland a little bit. You know
what I'm saying? Like I don't live
there, of course, but when I go, I have
a good time. like you.
Hey
Heat. Heat.
Hey,
hey, hey.
the amount of people that you play with
like having as teammates like the OGs
and the vets, that [ __ ] is crazy.
>> It's a gift and a curse. So it's so I'm
just curious to like what is it that you
learn from any of them like all together
like as a player as a man?
>> Uh
well I say as a man like I think that
the NBA don't get enough credit for like
the men that it could turn you into. You
know what I mean? Like you in that
locker room with a bunch of grown ass
[ __ ] Mhm.
>> And I mean grown in the ways that people
take for granted like mother got 401k
plans, they will written.
>> You know what I'm saying?
>> Yeah. Little [ __ ] like that where a
[ __ ] when
>> advisors
tax people some people like everybody
got their own way they do it but you may
come in and be getting your legs worked
on or whatever and the trainers just you
know getting soft tissue work done on
you and you'll hear [ __ ] on the
phone talking about producing a movie
and it just the way your mind has to
shift and understand like we're at a
level and top percent of the world of
making money and now we're in these
conversations and we have to be aware
>> like you have to be aware of how to use
your money, how to spend money, how to
understand money period. Like I thought
I understood money,
>> right?
>> I didn't understand it. I'm like I know
my pop didn't understand it cuz he
taught me way better with
>> Yeah.
>> Like godamn
>> but it's like you you start digging
through that and ciphering through all
the information and you start looking
around the league and realizing like
damn bro y'all taught me a lot. Like I
look back on it, I'm like, damn, Melo
taught me a lot. Like Braun ain't
teached me much like as far as like
that. I think I was already up to speed
by around. No, I ain't mean like that.
>> No, I get what you're saying. Like
>> familiar.
>> Yeah, like Yeah, I was
>> Yeah, I'm a little h by that point. But
then Braun's ability to like shape my
mind for basketball was just like it's
like he go back and forth between
>> being like the oldest mind and the
youngest mind
where he
like I would have never thought like
I've been playing basketball my whole
life until I played with Braun. I had
never seen a point guard set a ball
screen for somebody that's a fourman.
>> I don't know why I never thought of
that. I think I could do it the other
way, but I would never think to do it.
And Braun like all I'm trying to do is
get the matchup. He can't guard me. He
can guard me.
>> He can't do it. And if I go off a ball
screen, they going to trap. They going
to load up and it's going to be a
rotation. I'm going have to throw it
over there. But if I go off this fast
enough, his little ass just got to deal
with me. They it ain't even gonna be
time enough to s to do all that rot.
Yeah. And then y'all just get out.
>> And I was I I was like, "Wow." The way
this [ __ ] play chess,
>> it's like the new kid that don't know
the rules or anything. So his mind
naturally is creative.
>> Yeah.
>> But he know all your moves like the old
man.
>> He know the rules
>> and he know how he could break them.
>> Oh, he is crazy. He is AI. I told [ __ ]
he is AI of the league, bro. He's Siri.
>> What What was that first game like home
game you playing with LeBron? The first
like what what was I want to know like
the crowd. I want to know like
>> some girl [ __ ]
>> Yeah. Like I want to know I want to know
what
>> I want to know what like you felt like
like you know what I'm saying? Cuz I
feel like your first
>> I was coming back I was coming back from
a shoulder injury. So, it wasn't like as
much as like I I get it how it must feel
being outside looking in as far as
playing ball with these guys, but it's
like
once we got on the court together, my
only thought was like, "Wow, this [ __ ]
makes [ __ ] easy."
>> Like, I was just like, I mean, the
crowd, they blur after a while. You
can't really see them. I don't care.
Like, we got a game. I just want to know
what that what the aura was when like
>> the playoff aura was different.
>> Yeah, the playoff aura was like I had
never seen nothing like that. It was
like
>> I'm like when did y'all shoot all this
stuff? Like Braun doing the holding his
hand up doing the smoke in slow-mo. I'm
like, when did this [ __ ] shoot this?
>> I've been with this [ __ ] all year. He
got a witness commercial going across
the ticker. I'm like what?
>> Just in time. Man, that poster they had
downtown.
>> That [ __ ] was so hard.
>> Fire.
>> Lie to you.
>> So [ __ ] fire over my soul. I'm
shorty. When did this happen?
>> That [ __ ] was
>> He had the what you call it? Hyping the
crowd up like Cleveland, you guys ready
for this? Like all type of [ __ ] Like
I'm like, when did y'all do another
media day, [ __ ] We Your hair wasn't
even like that on media day. When did
y'all shoot all this? Like we was there
when we shot it. Okay. I remember that
easy pump it up [ __ ] we did. When did
you shoot this? But that's when I
realized like Braun, Kyrie, these [ __ ]
used to have like days that they just
Nike just taking 20 days out their year.
Like you got to shoot and they'll shoot
that [ __ ] forget about that [ __ ] and a
year later a commercial just drop.
>> Just pop up. Yeah.
>> You know what I'm saying? But it's
because they got to shoot every year.
They got to you know what I mean? So it
was like once I saw all the marketing, I
remember my first thought being like,
wow, they bring so much money in this
mother.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm like, they got this Quick and Loans
Arena got all these brands now
associated. I'm like, I didn't see none
of this before Braun came back
>> in Miami. Yeah. You all the extra
>> for sure. And you feel like Miami,
that's what you know, I mean, it's
Miami. It's just wild to know that one
dude's decision booms an economy like
that.
>> Look how Philly is right now.
>> It's booming.
>> Well, they talking politics. They
talking Philly. They talking
recentification. No [ __ ]
>> man. They don't name no Philly cheese
steak after this [ __ ] The theory that
two America turned 250 this year. Uh the
Democrats are pushing for LeBron to be
in Philly to to to Man, I'm telling you,
it's a lot of theories being out there,
bro. Real talk though, I'm being a real
I know yet.
>> It's a real thing.
>> That [ __ ] That [ __ ] balling clicker.
>> He one of the most I know exactly where
you going. He one of the most powerful
[ __ ]
>> I'm telling you.
>> I know this.
>> No, no, no. But it's like
>> before I was very Jumpman Jordan
related. You get what I'm saying? Like I
was very Michael Jeffrey Jordan about
the situation. I've never seen a man
move an economy the way LeBron James
does. Yeah,
>> there was people that are literally in
business just because he's here playing.
>> Let's go.
>> I love the way he took care of his team,
too, though.
>> Yeah. All boys, they ain't
>> Oh, his team he grew up with.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah.
>> All them got a position.
>> Hold on. Ain't it ain't in a connection
with uh that GM in Philly?
Did he not play against LeBron in high
school or some [ __ ] like that? And he's
a part of bringing the LeBron to Philly.
>> There's a connection with that. I can
care less.
>> But that front office, I'm I'm sure
>> I can care less. They better win.
>> If it's not player development, somebody
that he used to play with.
>> Oh, no, no, no, no. He uh they just
brought Phil Handy. Phil Handy is the
player development. He was with us in uh
with the Cavaliers and he just went to
he was with them in LA.
>> I know I knew it was something like
that.
>> Yeah, but he's Wolver though. That's
just Yeah, he's available. Yeah. All us
would be like, "Oh, go grab him."
>> Yeah. Okay.
>> Player development coach. Oh, yeah. Go
get Phil.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. Phil got that [ __ ] Phil got that
[ __ ] I
>> I want to ask this, bro. That 3-1
comeback.
>> Yeah.
>> Like I don't even know. Like that [ __ ]
was unheard of at the time.
>> Like the the comeback 3-1 and then going
against Golden State like they had all
what they were 73 and N.
>> They goddamn did all this. They up 3-1.
>> But it's like even even the year before
that I felt like if some players
wouldn't hurt and stuff like that. I I
like the Cleveland each year anyway. But
this one they down 3-1. I'm like, "Bro,
fuck."
[ __ ] came. Now it's 3-2.
Is that the game then? What? Draymond,
he was out game six, wasn't he?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. He was out game six.
>> Yeah. Game six. And
>> when it was 3-3, I said, "Boy, ain't no
way Cleveland lose now." But like, when
did y'all believe like we could come
back from 3-1?
>> 3-1.
>> Damn.
>> We was uh
the shoot around.
>> It's cold.
>> Shoot around for game five.
>> Uhhuh.
>> And Braun was like, "We got to win this
game." Like this one, we got to have it.
Cuz he like after we win this,
they not really going to want to win on
our home court. So they they going to
want it, but it's just if they can.
>> They pumped up to win. Yeah. when we
come back for game seven, they gonna
realize they [ __ ] up.
But wasn't
it wasn't just
how it happened. It was game four. You
got to realize them [ __ ] was going
off. But then game five, Bronn and Kyrie
was
gay. Like I don't know if people will
really have gone back and watched
Golden State played a hell of a game.
They were playing great.
>> Yeah.
>> Kyrie and LeBron was out there, man. For
the rest of that series, Braun was
hitting threes. He was taking threes
that I'm like, he don't do that.
>> Yeah.
>> Like he don't be pulling like that. Like
not right now, right? Usually you got to
hit a couple before you start shaking
like that. Shorty, he was off the
dribble with it. Letting that [ __ ] fly.
I'm Damn.
>> Yeah, they was doing it. Look, he
looking it up.
>> Yeah. Here we go,
>> bro. Braun numbers alone that goddamn
series was crazy.
>> 41. Both of them. Told you.
>> I still got the shoot pack for your
teammates. That was uh
>> that man had 4167
with only two turnovers, three steals,
three blocks.
>> Salute to that for real.
>> [ __ ] boy can't say nothing.
>> Played 43 of 48 minutes.
>> This nigga's nuts,
>> [ __ ]
>> Kyrie ain't slacking.
>> 41, three rebounds, six assists, four
turnovers, two steals, one block. And
when and 17 to 25.
>> So that's efficient as a [ __ ]
And Kyrie's allowed to have turnovers
because if Kyrie has turnovers, it means
he's ultra aggressive and trying [ __ ]
>> And if he doing that, he in his bag, it
all makes sense. If Kyrie don't got two,
three turnovers, Kyrie might not be
locked in.
>> We need to piss Kyrie off
>> immediately.
That's the only time.
>> But yeah, they
>> team is coming back from 3-1, right?
>> Boy.
>> Yeah.
>> When people say this, they be they'll
say this like people will come to be
like, "You only won that ring cuz y'all
got carried.
You act like I didn't sit on the team
watching this [ __ ] I was amazed while
it was [ __ ] happening. [ __ ] you not
hurting my feelings.
Game five, [ __ ]
>> I had Yeah, I had front row seats to
game five, [ __ ] [ __ ] you talking
about? You have a better seat than me.
The [ __ ] [ __ ] is wrong with you? I
watched that 41 live, [ __ ] I couldn't
believe it.
>> I was talking to Stephan Clay about it
during the game, [ __ ] I g [ __ ]
It ain't all day, son. I ain't going to
lie. Then Draymond had to sit out for
kicking somebody in the balls. I
>> know he had got some but they were like
if they would had n it was like [ __ ]
was locked in, bro. It don't matter. It
don't matter.
>> Locked.
>> [ __ ] was locked,
>> [ __ ] Like so we always be talking like
championship or the money. Like so you
done won a championship. Did How was
that feeling though? Can you explain
that?
>> Uh yeah. I it's only a few things in my
life that I felt like that felt that
good.
>> The births of my daughters
>> say listen,
>> you know what I'm saying? Like
>> just not a lot of [ __ ] that make me that
happy where it's like I can't talk, I
can't breathe good. I had to remind
myself
>> in the way y'all did it, bro. The
comeback from 31.
>> Yeah, bro. So it's like, [ __ ]
it's no other reason to hug a grown man.
Like,
>> real talk, I jumped up.
>> Jumped up. Yeah. Hugging a grown man
with all my might, bro. Yeah.
>> Like I hugged all of them. Like we done,
we group hug.
>> Yeah.
>> My splash of champagne. Well, but it was
like, bro,
>> to have gone through all these years of
chasing this [ __ ] and finally get to
have a goal. Like we all holding this
[ __ ] down smoking smoking in the locker
room [ __ ] I'm like fo we lit up in the
locker.
>> Come on. So I done lit up in a locker
room in the NBA. Like come on.
>> Finish the other half of that question.
>> What?
>> Yeah. So that feeling
>> or what?
>> Or about 500 m.
>> Could they be saying 500 m or the
championship?
>> Oh yeah. I I mean now that I'm out the
league.
No, no. Answer that as the time.
>> If I was 21 and you would have offered
like 500 or you can go to a team that
win a championship, I would have won the
championship.
>> All right, cool.
>> Cuz I saw one of the only reasons I play
basketball is cuz
>> I remember we we played anyway just to
be in competitive. But I watched some
thing they did with Mike on the news
where they like it's like a day in the
life type [ __ ]
>> right? He get out his Corvette smoking a
cigar. Yeah. And they like like you know
there's more to life for Michael Jordan.
This is what he does.
>> You know he had his kids and you know he
talked about his mom house.
They was like huge houses and Corvette
cars. He pull up to the locker room and
all them got sports cars. And I was just
thinking like so they play basketball
and get paid that much? I like I could
buy my mom a house. All I got to do is
play basketball. Good.
>> Yeah.

saying? Bro, I be I apologize.
>> Well, you want to go to the league. Got
to name him Jayla.

pick which one you like better.
>> Hell you talking?
>> J A Y is going a totally different
speed.
>> This [ __ ] crazy though. I ain't gonna
lie. That [ __ ] like the new Eric.
>> Yeah.
>> Like it ain't no more Erics in the
league. It's just Jaylen aware.
>> That's all. Like dang.
>> That's Instagram going to [ __ ] it up.
Everybody gonna have random ass names in
about 10 years. You fa to be seeing some
wild ass first names.
>> It's already hella wild ass first name.
>> But that's our generation. We ain't [ __ ]
[ __ ] like that. Like I'm going to
>> Everybody want be
>> [ __ ] went to jail his whole life
and go name his daughter Justice.
>> That's effed up.
>> He meant that. He meant that.
>> You know what I'm saying? That's the
type of [ __ ] we do. Like whatever

championship, then Kevin Durant go to
Golden State. What y'all like, bro? What
the [ __ ] it is?
>> We know I was mad about that [ __ ]
>> Why?
>> I remember that [ __ ] It just was It was
like, bro, that's unfair.
>> But it's cool. Like once he got there
and they started doing it, like once
everybody adjusted, it was like, "We
don't care. Build a super team.
Everybody doing it." [ __ ]
>> Yeah.
>> You know what I'm saying? But I actually
in retrospect now that I'm older I'll be
like looking at it like damn Braun KD
when they left it was because they was
dealing with something that us as
midlevel players. we didn't have to deal
with what they're dealing with with
ownership
>> where they're like, "You need to this
off season go get me somebody that I
feel like I could win with cuz
>> I don't mind staying here, but you know,
if I don't win, that's on my legacy."
Like,
>> you get what I'm saying? So, they they
trying to pair up and do stuff and they
wanted to bring people to them. The
organization got them coming in training
camp. They might be unhappy. They can't
show us that. They happy to see us.
>> Yeah, for sure. But it's like they
really into it with the organization.
>> You don't know what kind of
conversations they have and like the
whole season. Oh, this [ __ ] crying me
>> the whole season unhappy.
>> Yeah,
>> he unhappy the whole season and you
don't know. So, it's like now knowing
that version of it, I don't be as mad at
them.
>> It's just like the version of the league
that I loved was the loyal fan. The
loyal fan is gone. you and we bro it's
it's kind of hard cuz you had your
favorite players and like and they jump
ship soon as they jump ship you be like
[ __ ] this color ain't that bad [ __ ]
[ __ ] your favorite player go to
the Lakers [ __ ] you like [ __ ] I can
finally wear that [ __ ] with them purple
matter of fact where my purple foams at
>> you
>> where my eggplants where they at pulling
them out like that's
>> that's how I was like [ __ ] like cuz I
feel like
>> people say they don't even follow teams
no more they follow their player like
I'm not a they said that They was not
Laker fans. They were LeBron fans.
>> Yeah.
>> And now the Lakers [ __ ] just
>> cuz now we ain't got to even pretend.
>> That's crazy.
>> Cuz like, bro, you know, Lakers fans
were mad anyway. They were like, "We
don't want no [ __ ] ass LeBron fans over
here." That how they talk like, "Nigga,
y'all ain't won [ __ ] in a minute."
>> And he came over there.
>> They don't They don't care about it
though. Laker fans are crazy, bro. If
you see how them [ __ ] talk on podcast
and talk on they
>> they all crazy. Yeah, all of them crazy.
>> They be getting on me. All the fan bases
get on my ass cuz now I be having to
talk and give my professional opinion
and I'll be like, "Listen, bro. I don't
care to make none of y'all happy."
>> Mhm.
>> Like, I watch the games. I watch the
matchups. I say what I see. I don't I
don't make nothing personal. I make it
all about the game and
>> what I see. And I got to deal with
people going off. They be going off.
>> And they
>> You don't even watch the games. You
don't even um No, I don't think y'all
watch the I think y'all just box score
[ __ ]
>> Yeah.
>> No, that's the That's the thing. All
they do is watch the [ __ ] game.
You're talking to a a guy that's a
[ __ ] NBA vet, a world champion.
>> Yeah.
>> And they really think they're comparable
because you can now level with them to
some degree cuz y'all can
>> give your take. You feel what I'm
saying?
>> Which is crazy.
>> But like he watching from a different
set of eyes.
>> You see what I'm saying? But they don't
they won't
>> they'll be like they'll say some [ __ ]
like you just said you like the Knicks
and I'm like I do like the Knicks. You
know what I'm saying? I want the Knicks
to win. Do I think that the win uh will
happen in six games? No. I said they
either going to have to these kids, but
if they give them life, I feel like the
Knicks could either uh win in seven
>> or that the Spurs was going to win in
six. But they beat them in five. They
just, you know what I'm saying? But it
should have been a sweep
>> cuz they was busting their ass the whole
time anyway. But I'm like,
>> they was like, "Whose team are you on?"
I'm like, "Bro, I'm not in this for
loyalty." Like, if it's if it's for
loyalty, my dog, y'all not realizing how
quick I'mma say I'm a Chicago Bull.
Like, when the starting lineups for the
Cleveland Cavaliers was going, all I
heard in my head was
like like I'd be sitting there. People
used to be like, "Why you sit at half
court doing that?" cuz that's what I'm
doing,
>> right?
>> I grew up hearing it. I've been waiting
for it and now I'm not on the Bulls.

jump through the And they jump through
the jumbo. Dump through the bro during
the playoffs. That [ __ ] jump
through the jumbo tri. They got the
streamers coming. It's like, [ __ ] this
the beginning of the game.
>> Yeah.
>> They This should have party in the
beginning. Like that. Not straight.
Confetti
>> confetti. Yeah. Would y'all like
>> y'all knew y'all going to the
championship every year like
>> with I'm saying did y'all look at it
like bro we ain't got to worry about
Eastern Conference.
>> Oh yeah. We knew after the first year
with Eastern Conference.
>> I ain't
[ __ ] It's like we know what we got
to deal with. No, we knew.
>> Yeah.
>> The whole time.
>> Like soon as they had that year and they
beat us that year, Kyrie halfed his
knee.
>> Mhm.
>> They didn't see us that year. We was
bad, bro. I'm talking about if we was
healthy, I feel like we'd have two.
They'd have two.

>> But it was that was not the case. Kyrie
halfed his knee. I [ __ ] up my
shoulder. Jr. [ __ ] up his back. K Love
shoulder was messed up from

30 minutes
>> and he just went balls out. Like even
when he was tired, he just dove anyway.
>> Yeah.
>> Where it was like he don't have nothing
in the tank, my dog. Like he had to go
to the hospital after that. Then woke up
from passing out with the IVs. Woke up,
figured out where he was, and was like,
"Man, I got to get some rest for the
game tomorrow." They like, "Brother,
you're not playing." Like, you know.

>> It was only on the court. That's what
was so cool about it. Like they had a
mutual respect for each other. They got
a bond off the court but it's like on
the court they have no choice but to be
arch enemies. Like y'all got to go
against each other. Like y'all the two
[ __ ] that can't play pickup together.
>> It's like all right Melo over there,
Braun over there. Like
>> [ __ ] can't play on the same team. What
do y'all think this is? like and it's
like it's it's cool to know that that
never really hindered their ability to
be cool off the court. You know what I'm
saying? Cuz
>> for me I know it was a couple of [ __ ]
that it's like to this day I don't have
a relationship with them because we just
have to go against each other, bro. It
just that's how it has to be. And now we
too grown. We got families and [ __ ] We
ain't got time to figure it out now to
be cool. But I'm like, [ __ ]
I needed you. You needed me. I needed to
hate you though. I needed to dog. I
can't be all buddy buddy with you. When
I first got there, I thought it was
going to be awkward with me and Braun.
He wasn't tripping.
>> He like just do that psycho [ __ ] O'Neal,
bro. That's all. That's all
>> that same
>> all that same [ __ ] you used to do.
>> That pissed me off.
>> Take it over there.
>> Hell no. Don't stop.
>> Turn that [ __ ] up.
>> God damn.
>> And I ain't going to lie, when he
brought uh Timothy Mozoff and I had JR
with me and that was also nerve-wracking
for me. I thought that would [ __ ] up me
and Jr.'s relationship cuz we wasn't
playing on the same at the same time no
more.
>> We came in for each other.
>> Oh, okay.
>> And it start being whack. Like if I seen
JR at the table, I lowkey had a little
part of me die like damn,
>> you know what I'm saying? That he'll do
the same [ __ ] like I got you, bro.
>> [ __ ]
>> You know what I'm saying? Like it's
awkward. Like I I got you gotta sit
down. Switch be f you know what I mean?
Usually it's like I check in and switch
like finally [ __ ] Let's go.
>> Thank you. Let's run. Yeah, let's run.
Shump come. He going to get a steal.
Broken play lob. Ah, let's get it. Like
let's do that [ __ ] [ __ ] We got there.
We had to come in for each other.
>> I thought me and Swiss ain't going to be
that cool no more. Now we in
competition, bro.
>> Yeah,
>> I just knew it because
>> like, yeah, the minutes got to
>> it got to get something got to give,
buddy. Somebody got to get that short
end of that stick. I can't beat me.
That's how we was thinking. But then uh
Too actually just figured out a cool way
to do it, bro. Sometimes it was offense,
defense, sometimes it was this,
sometimes it was that. But I never felt
unimportant to the team.
>> Yeah. Do he get the credit he deserve?
>> No. And I be telling him, I'm like,
every time I talk to him now, dog, I'll
be like, "Bro, if I ever was a [ __ ]
I'm sorry." Like I was just growing up
for real. For real. Like I feel like,
yeah, I did a lot of growing up on my
own in life, but it's like I feel like
you kind of got to grow up once you have
money. Like I came in the league, I was
a rookie. I didn't own [ __ ] Like I that
was my first time owning things. I had a
wife, you know what I'm saying? I had a
different set of rules, different set of
things on my mind. Like it was just
different. And I'm like, I'm doing all
this and taking direction from you in
the prime of my career. You just got the
job.
>> Yeah.
>> And you know what I'm saying? We have to
win this year cuz LeBron's here.
>> Yeah,
>> it was it was Kyrie's team. He feel
disrespected. He the number one pick. He
like, I'm number one pick. Y'all just
going to bring another number one pick
and then I ain't [ __ ]
>> Yeah.
>> So, it's like we dealing with all these
dynamics.
>> So much going on where it's over [ __ ]
heads like
>> you see what I'm saying? I wish I could
go back to just like turn it down a
little bit cuz I I played with fire. But
I I'm pretty sure Too knew this anyway.
So, he like I'mma just let him I'mma
just let him use it. like he didn't play
me one game against Indiana and that
next game in the playoffs they played me
boy I was out there with so much energy
on 10 I'm like you knew what you did
folk just held me back like a dog whole
game I ain't playing I'm steady every
time [ __ ] do something wrong I'm
looking [ __ ] you still ain't going to
put me in [ __ ] [ __ ] got 30 I'm like I
don't get to I'm like I'm rotation
>> I was sick then [ __ ] put me in I'm like
this [ __ ] might be a genius bro
>> I had all the energy I ain't played
>> that [ __ ] Kyrie Bro, like you know
before that why I say you know like with
certain teams you start watching like
[ __ ] knew Kyrie Cahoot but now you
seeing this [ __ ] you like
>> bro this [ __ ] Kyrie a [ __ ] dog. So
how that like how practice was cuz you
would guard him in practice when you
>> but me and Kyrie same class so like
>> Oh you been? Yeah
>> I knew Kyrie.
>> Yeah,
>> but me and Kyrie actually got cool
during the lockout. We sitting by each
other during the lockout. we realize we
just we get down the same. You see what
I'm saying? So, I honestly thought I was
going to talk to Kyrie and he was going
to be on some proper English [ __ ] like,
>> "Hey, man." Like, you know what I mean?
>> Cool as a mother.
>> Yeah. I was like, "Oh, you from Jersey?
All right. I So, I got it. You just went
to Duke. You know what I mean?
>> How do you think that happened though?
>> You just like the khakis and the polo.
How you think he end up at a Duke like
that if if if he is you know cut from
the same cloth
>> cuz I'm telling you broach
>> [ __ ] will look at Duke even
with Coach K in that winning like
tradition real [ __ ] ain't going
to go to no Duke
>> yeah they be feeling like Duke kind of
holds them back like somebody's as
>> highly toted as Kyrie I get what he's
saying but
>> I don't know Kyrie's probably just
>> weird to me bro
>> I never thought about that honestly
>> because you think about every play cuz
again it was a system with Coach K.
Yeah.
>> It wasn't an individual thing.
>> Yeah.
>> And I [ __ ] it might have worked out that
a [ __ ] got hurt that whole year
>> and you know and Coach K was having them
one and done.
>> I'm trying to see what I'm saying.
>> You remember?
>> Yeah.
>> I I ain't
>> but you be a goddamn fool if you saw
Kyrie Irving play basketball and say he
need to come back to school.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Goddamn fool. Yeah.
>> When they was talking about it, I'm like
gang, did you see the 11 games?
>> Yeah. Are y'all seeing the 11 games?
>> It's like the last week of the regular
season and then some of the tournament
some [ __ ] like that.
>> I just I couldn't I just couldn't
believe the combinations of drones that
he does in the game.
>> Like don't get me wrong, I've worked
plenty of times on coming down going in
and out tween behind the back behind the
back with the skip. Spin off it.
Step back, shot fake. Like it's like
this some [ __ ] you do in front of a a
bad [ __ ]
>> Yeah,
>> you real talk. Like if I'm playing my
homie, I try all this. This [ __ ] will
be running full speed and bust every
move I just said. Full speed. But he
doing it as people reaching and doing
[ __ ] He just like you see somebody
coming like if I seen somebody I'm
dribbling and I see you here in my mind
I'm going to take one dribble here
your body's going to naturally freeze up
cuz you like he going to run into me or
you psycho and you going to foul me one
of the two. But I'mma cut you off cuz I
just need to get my left foot here cuz
I'm going up there. I don't have time
for this. This [ __ ] Kyrie sees this
[ __ ] and be like, "Oh, I'm just stop on
the dime. I know he can't stop." He
stops.
>> Maybe you stop back here. If you stop
back here, he going to do something cute
to go that way. He not going the same
way he just made you go. But if you back
or you stay up here, he'll do some wild
[ __ ] Like instead of a simple cross
that somebody else will do, he'll spin.
And it's like, bro, I think that's how
you have your knee. like when you got
hurt like he puts so much force
>> on everything he how he plays like this
it's like bro it's reckless damn near
but it's like it's the same
>> but it's control though
>> that's what I'm saying it's the same
thing we do in the air somebody would
think
>> Iman you like before I got hurt I used
to recklessly jump off one foot one leg
I didn't care if I beat you there I can
trust myself I'm going upstairs you
can't go so [ __ ] it I'm going
>> but it's like once I blew my knee out I
had to start thinking
You know what I'm saying? I'm like,
[ __ ] I can't just rely on being
athletic. But I'm like, none of my
thoughts told me that when this [ __ ]
happened, oh, we f to spin right here
and then go through the legs and through
the C. I'm Kyrie.
>> Yeah, the [ __ ] out, bro. But that [ __ ]
do eight moves on one possession, dog.
Like, how do you have energy to play
defense?
>> That was eight regular season games
before December 4th and came back to
play three tournament games.
>> Yep. And they was like, that'll be all.
That's crazy. [ __ ]
>> That's all we need to see.
>> Yes, boy. You go that fast and do some
of the [ __ ] that he doing, bro. If you
can do that, bro,
>> we need you to do that for as long as
you can. So, why would you why would you
even burn a couple of years down here?
>> Well, honestly, now
>> you can get a little money on. I'd have
stayed in college all four years on NIL.
>> N lie to you. I'd have been Waffle House
shorty,
>> man.
>> You hear me? I'd have been sponsored by
Waffle House.
>> Come and get what we singing on the rap.
You seen that Waffle House [ __ ]
>> I ain't seen it.
>> No, I ain't got a freestyle. That's
>> Oh, the waffle house. I ain't never
listen to a Welcome to the Waffy.
>> It's a real Waffle House.
>> Welcome to the Wyar
City.
>> [ __ ] snapping.
>> Throw the basketball NIL.
>> Throw the waffle house. the the the
basketball NIL is just as lucrative as
as NBA contracts right now.
>> No, but it would have I would have got a
degree. I would have had some money.
>> Okay.
>> I would have it gives you fin the reason
why so many guys leave immediately is
because one, you want your university to
always uphold their end of the bargain
on saying we're going to honor four
years of education for you whether you
leave early or not. But you go in
thinking about it as uh uh
I need to get to the NBA right now
because we broke or my mom's rules.
Yeah. She needs this now.
>> So it's like I'm willing to leave my
first year
>> when it's like
>> I could chill
>> three years,
>> learn a little bit,
>> learn a little bit, get my body right
for the NBA.
>> You know what I'm saying? because I'm
highly toaded now. I could probably work
with NBA players.
>> Mh.
>> You know what I'm saying? And I can sort
of feel my way out of saying, "Hey, man,
let me try and I could damn near predict
where I want to land.
>> I'm going to be around this pick. These
are the teams that are going to be. So,
I'll be on a team that's chasing a
championship."
>> That damn uh
>> I'm high on the list. I'm going to be on
a terrible team. I'm going to be rebuild
session. I know how to work out. Like,
you know what I mean?
>> The NIL for these the football is
different though, boy. Because what's
the deal?
>> All these quarterbacks that are staying
back for that extra year, it makes a lot
of sense.
>> They getting paid more than rookie
quarterback.
>> Carson Beck is like uh topping out at
maybe two million, but Trinidad Charm is
the one I'm I be telling that he should
have left.
>> He getting five or six.
>> There's even players that's like leaving
the league to go back to college.
>> Oh yeah, the [ __ ] uh uh going to LSU.
>> I heard about that.
>> Got cut by the uh the Browns. And the
Browns the Browns coach was ignoring
Lane Kein's call
>> cuz he was calling about that certain
player, that particular player,
>> and he was like, "Well, [ __ ] I should
have picked up the phone cuz now I know
why he was calling me." But yeah, for
some
>> Was he at LSU? He went back or
>> he may have been at Old Miss with uh
Lane.
>> So he was at Old Miss with Lane Keifin.
Went to the league. Uh was at training
camp. There you go.
>> Okay. was at training camp with the
Browns and Lane Keifin was calling the
Browns to get, you know, I guess intel
on how he doing or whatever or I need to
get in contact. I don't know why the
[ __ ] he was calling,
>> but yeah, man. They found some loophole
where this [ __ ] can go back and
play for LSU this year,
>> bro. That that [ __ ] is slick. Unfoul.
>> That shit's stupid. And then they he
finished up his four years in college. I
haven't So technically technically
>> you have another year of eligibility.
>> You can go back.
>> Well, obviously Yeah. Go back. Only went
three years. I hope they take it.
>> Yeah.
>> Please wear that number one jersey like
you did before.
>> Yeah.
>> Get you a little run with the number one
jersey.
>> Yeah. I just want to go play a little
back to the basket. I promise I would I
promise I won't do that to y'all, son.
Nothing crazy. I'll just go back to the
basket.
>> Our basketball program definitely
needed.
>> Just go do it.
>> This [ __ ] is on a lifeline right now.
>> Yeah, but that's what they that's what
they're allowing.
>> I know, but I'm a grown ass man. Like
that's [ __ ] up.
>> Well, yeah. Like y'all got homework and
I got kids that got homework.
>> But what um what year was this guy in
like how many years was he in the
league? Like
>> no he went
>> he was Yeah. So he didn't even
technically he still he just left
college
>> because what's wild to me is all the
reclassifications they have. They
haveations that hold eligibility. So
sometimes
>> you'll have guys going into the league
at like 26 to 27. Like that's what's
scary to me where it's like even in the
league it's like yeah you reclassified
but even in the league you 27 dog like
once you get here you only going to have
three years.
>> Yeah
>> cuz then they going to be looking at you
like
>> wear and tear on your body is wear and
tear.
>> The only position
>> especially in football
>> the only position you got to pay
attention to with that is the [ __ ]
quarterback.
>> These older quarterbacks come in [ __ ]
balling cuz as experience you not the
wear and tear that you talk about. We
ain't the quarterback won't experience
that as much and that's why you see like
a bonix um a Mendoza being highly touted
right now.
>> Oh, I seen him the other day, man.
>> He did [ __ ] though.
>> Mendoza. I don't know.
>> I'm tell
the the his process and how he goes
about being a [ __ ] professional. I'm
willing to put some money down. When
that [ __ ] number is called, he's
going to do well.
>> I think he's going to be something. It's
going to be something similar to to what
Bo Nick is doing. But that's that's
that's that's a lot of pressure on him
because I ain't going to lie to you,
bro. As much as I hate Shawn Payeyton,
that [ __ ] is a great coach.
>> So, I think that's one of that that's
just worked out perfectly for Bo Nicks.
But I think Mendoza gonna be all right.
>> Yeah.
>> Him and Carson Big and I know you don't
like me saying that [ __ ]
>> No,
>> you said him. What?
>> Carson Big.
>> Oh,
>> quarterback from Georgia.
>> He's old, bro. He done played 50 [ __ ]
games. Like that experience, man. It
adds up at quarterback,
>> huh?
>> No. No. No. Arizona.
>> No.
>> God damn.
>> Yeah, [ __ ] He 40. He came back.
>> Yeah, that [ __ ] come back, bro. It's It
ain't no
>> football show.
>> Just basketball.
>> Straight to it,
>> bro. Our paths never crossed either.
I That's That's That's why we ain't got
no crazy stories any even though we went
to the same school.
>> Only Yeah. The only time I uh
>> you count on one hand how many times I
seen him.
>> Only time we ever saw the football
player. Well, my best friends at Tech
both used to they loved football.
>> So they girls they they
>> Alice Montgomery Bing [ __ ] wrong.
>> Yeah, they love football. Like
>> but I'm talking about like you know
Saturday I had early practice.
>> Yeah. I'm really just trying to chill
today. They in my room. Get dressed. I'm
What the [ __ ] I'm going to bed for an
hour and then we can go out and do
something. They like no we going to the
game. Like we got to be at uh
tailgating. I'm like tailgating
>> Yellow Jacket Alley,
>> you feel me? But I ain't know nothing
about it. The first time I did it, I was
like wow. Yeah.
>> Hey, I was at the tech game like, "Bro,
this is lit. They got a real
production." I'm like, "We don't have as
big as a production
>> as them." And they like, "Yeah, they
bring in a lot of money." Like, they
like the boosters for football are way
different than basketball. Like, and I
was like trying to process all that, but
I had to really take that in. But it's
crazy cuz I end up getting cool with
Dearius Thomas cuz Taco dated him. And
then
>> that's after me. Yeah. Baby.
>> Baby. Yep. And then uh Pet Gang. And
then um
uh uh Morgan.
>> Yeah. They ran neck and neck. So you had
to [ __ ] with Josh Nesb.
>> Yeah. Nit. I mean I thought they was all
cool. I just had
>> and for so long they was low-key like a
little bit slick into it with some of
the basketball players over some girls
in previous years.
>> But they was like, "Huh?"
>> Yeah.
>> No, that I hate I hate that.
>> Oh. Oh, I thought you were saying no, it
didn't have to say. Yeah. Yeah. They had
I guess they had little ruffle feathers
where they weren't really talking to
each other and [ __ ] So when I got
there, I was just trying to chill and
do, you know, regular young [ __ ] You
know what I'm saying?
They caught me doing some [ __ ] I wasn't
supposed to be doing. I'm like, "Oh, the
only reason you call me you, y'all
that." You see what I'm saying? Y'all
know that. You feel me? But I'm I'm I'm
laughing with them. And my I remember my
teammates coming like, "Man, like what
you doing over there with them?" Like
they I'm relax.
>> Yeah, that's what I'm going like I ain't
see nothing wrong with them. You see
what I'm saying? And it was like they
kind of like settled down. But then Bay
Baby was telling me like, "Nigga, I
don't know what they got going on on
their side. We don't care."
>> Yeah.
>> Like, and then that was it. After that,
I was like, "They always good." I used
to come to their game. I'll be jumping
up and down. They used to come to our
games, be talking [ __ ] in the stands.
They used to be getting rowdy with
people and [ __ ] But that was it was
cool. Like, everybody supported
everybody for real. For real. But you're
right. I I never
>> I never used to see a lot of people on
campus, Joe. I used to just go to class,
sit my ass down,
>> I do my work and [ __ ] I used to be
first bolting to the gym.
>> I did all my clothes, bro.
>> I had clothes. I washed everything. Like
I think my dirty clothes hamper like in
college that [ __ ] would probably never
got past here.
>> Like as soon as I done I damn near was
probably wearing the same draws and
socks because immediately cuz I'm going
to the gym every night. I'm putting all
my clothes that I see in there. I'm
putting them in the little the little uh
netted mesh bag
>> and putting all of it in there. I'm
tossing that in.
>> You said that [ __ ] was excited about
being a college student
>> for real. That was what I'm thinking.
Look, we get that. I'm like free
Gatorade.
>> We at Power, my man.
>> Come on. You know what it is.
>> Free Power
Pepsi products. I'm like
>> all that muscle milk getting swollen.
They give me Gatorade shakes and I'm
just taking that [ __ ] back, man. We go
to the uh to the gym. We got they like,
"Yeah, if y'all want to do your uh
laundry and stuff, you could just knock
it out." I'm like, "I could do my
laundry." I'm like, "My key work all
night." I'm taking girls in the locker
room. They doing my clothes. Coach, you
were mad at me. What? I used to get all
type of trouble. Boy, I have. They be
like asking them girls like how they got
in there. They like, "Iman told us to
wash his clothes in here." But they
looking like where y Where y'all [ __ ]
coming from? It's like these my
teammates. They throw off. Coaches mad.
coaches mad at me. They like, "You can't
turn everything into the club." I used
to have girls on the sideline. Like, we
a leader club. I used to feel like I'm
cheating myself. I was out all night.
Them [ __ ] getting better than me.
>> We taking the girls to the [ __ ] gym.
Yeah. Like I went out and that was one
of the best nights ever. Joe went out
with Ton Wayne uh was on tour.
>> Wayne bet on me against uh North
Carolina. I go off 30 piece immediately.
He was hyped as hell. Like [ __ ] piece

Lil Wayne come to the gym, y'all.
>> Good [ __ ] man.
>> I'm the boy. I got the gym.
Pull it. pulled the tour bus up, Joe.
>> Yeah.
>> Before we walked in the gym, probably
about 30 people, Joe. Two smoking all
time. You know what I'm saying? Like
they they smoking this and [ __ ] I get
why they were mad, but it was just like,
>> you get what I'm saying, man? Like you
think like, [ __ ] I'm lit.
>> What? Yeah. I'm like, great story. I
love that. I'm like [ __ ] like this is
young money like young
>> time little Wayne I'm talking about this
a mill
>> bro I'll never forget we we at compound
>> shorty when I meet him I I go up there
meet with I'm he was like meet me before
cuz you know once we walk in I ain't
going to be able to look out for you and
[ __ ] you know what I'm saying like just
meet me before you
>> still be like that
>> yeah but you know you ain't 21 you know
how it You know how I go. So
>> he like, "Yeah, just walk in with me."
I'm like, "All right, bet." I go meet in
the little corner and [ __ ] They got
security and everything. I'm like, "What
the [ __ ] you [ __ ] collecting in this
little corner? I'm f to tell a joke and
shit."
>> Yeah, shorty on the other side of the
bus. We turn.
I had never seen that many [ __ ]
cameras, my [ __ ] I'll never forget it.
Ah, back up cuz you ain't even a He
supposed to be out. I supposed to be
here. You hear me? Um, Coach Hu see
this. I'm over with. I'm running. We
running a miss practice. Guaranteed.
Shuty. Move back. Oh [ __ ] He turned a
corner. I was like, wow. I've I don't
think I've ever been around a superstar.
Like I was like I I realized it all in
one moment. Like I've never seen that
many people care to take a picture of
one person.
>> I'm like he's walking.
>> That's it. That's it.
>> They had that moment
>> and it was at least 30 cameras. The
flashes was going crazy. It was like so
many flashes. I'm like, I see why they
wear shades. Like, you can't see.
>> I was like, [ __ ] Then I'm ducking out
the way. I'm like, please don't put me
on no pictures. Please. And now thinking
back on it, coach. You wouldn't have
seen that [ __ ] Ain't no Instagram.
>> We was low. I was low. I could have been
in the [ __ ] He wasn't going on media
takeout, [ __ ] That's all that was
around.
>> The hard way,
>> huh?
>> They knew every move you [ __ ] made.
>> Oh, for sure they did. For sure. Yeah,
>> I'm telling you the hard way.
>> But he wouldn't have known that I was
with Wayne at that time from the
picture.
>> He would have knew cuz he sent a spy to
the club that I'm telling they did every
every [ __ ] spot.
>> But you want to know what's wild?
>> Somebody was there.
>> This is what's wrong about a college
coach.
>> They act as like dads.
>> Because my father knew a lot of times
when I was doing something I wasn't
supposed to be doing. And sometimes
he was there and didn't tell me he was
there.
>> Or like you ever did some [ __ ] with your
or you doing some [ __ ] and then you got
into a jam and you you called your your
pop or your mom and they just got there
like way too quick where it's like [ __ ]
that's the quickest. It's like they knew
you was doing some dumb [ __ ] They was
right around the corner.
>> Parents be parents.
>> You see what I'm saying? I feel like
college coaches do that for you. Whereas
>> the good ones
>> Yeah, the good ones do. Like I feel like
we had that though, [ __ ] We definitely
had that. But it was like, "Yeah, you
can't just be doing nothing too
regular." But we walked around the
corner and Wayne had all them people
like that. And I just remember being
like, "Wow, he a real star." After the
game, he argued and we was arguing
talking about basketball and they said
they wanted to go to the gym and I'm
like, "Thank you." You know what I'm
saying? I feel like I've been cheating
myself all night.
>> After the club is crazy.
>> I want them to take pictures of me.
I'm in I'm in the gym playing hard as
hell, Joe. No [ __ ] We played 32. We
was playing ones. Like I was in the gym
till like 3 in the morning.
>> Yeah.
>> Coach, you was mad as [ __ ]
>> But you got to think

>> [ __ ] as a as a college student,
>> [ __ ] I'm sitting here playing with my
favorite rapper,

>> Facts.
>> You said how I get caught.
>> Yeah.
>> Cuz they had every time we scan to get
in
>> they was the last one.
>> Yeah.
>> And it smell like me.
>> It was always
>> the one in there. Like they knew I was
going to the gym all the time, but they
had cameras and everything.
>> Oh yeah.
>> They probably was like, "Did you take a
cone
>> and hold the door open, take a chair,
hold the other door open and try and air
this [ __ ] out? That's what you
tried to do?"
>> Damn, that sound smart at the time.
>> It When you a dumb ass college kid that
been drinking with a superstar and you
really in over your head, you do think
you just doing it. I think I'm smart as
hell. I'm like, "Yeah, I'mma do this. I
probably
>> I probably sprayed some freze
>> that [ __ ] make it worse.
>> I probably did. I probably did. But it
was like it was so like it was so
needed. It was like bro that that was
like
>> that's a great memory to have that Young
Money was in the gym at Georgia Tech.
>> Uh and then Boo started coming up there.
Boo from Boo and Gotti, you know, he
from the crib though, but he was with
Young Money. He he used to come up there
all the time with me cuz he always was I
knew him with made men. So it was like
uh
>> he would come up there and work out with
me for real. Like no I ain't got to
shoot. We ain't got to play oneonone.
Sometimes you just need to shoot. But he
like let's do but he start seeing like
it used to tick. It was like a tick for
me if I'm hanging out with them and I
ain't hooked.
>> Like it be like what the like [ __ ] I
don't hang with [ __ ] Like you know
what I'm saying? Like after a while I'll
be like, "All right, let me get my shots
up or something. Let me work on
something and feel like I accomplished
something. Now I can hang out with you."
>> I used to do something with the clubs,
too. And
>> Huh. He used to host parties a lot.
>> Yeah.
>> Hell yeah.
>> Big time.
>> Boo. Yeah. Boo. Got all the time. They
was hosting something.
>> Yeah.
>> Especially once Kel's had them [ __ ] on
that Fiesta.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. All right. That
>> they're my dogs though, man. Oh, but Lil
Wayne, bro, he got a little standout
kicker over at Gainesville High School
going crazy. He's a kicker. He's a He's
a kicker for uh um Gainesville here in
Georgia.
>> Gainesville just lost to Buford.
>> Well, that's you know that's a [ __ ]
national ranked powerhouse.
>> Yeah, they
>> Gainesville is the right.
>> Yeah. Hold on. Wait a minute. I don't
know. You light skin?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Got a sister.
>> Oh, okay.
>> I just know it's Lil Wayne's son.
>> 25 yd attempt here. Dwayne Carter made
his first one and
makes his second one.
>> Yeah, I think it's Tony.
>> What I was going to say on your cuz how
you we were talking about Michael
Jordan. It made me think about do you
ever put anybody before Michael Jordan
when it come to basketball?
>> No,
>> not for me.
>> Yeah. Like people always do this whole
debate like I think that when you talk
about greatness and you talk about
basketball, I think it is better to put
LeBron in the slot. You know what I'm
saying? But when you ask somebody like
me who's the best player, it's like
it's nothing, LeBron. It's nothing you
could do. I just wasn't five watching
you.
>> Yeah.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like I didn't
want the Bulls to win so bad. Like I was
in tears, [ __ ] Like I was a child and
this [ __ ] wouldn't let me lose.
>> I done watched the whole arena clear
out. This game is over and this [ __ ]
bring us back and we win.
>> Like I watched it too. I'm like bro this
[ __ ] is like half my childhood dog.
>> Yeah.
>> And y'all are asking me to put my
teammate above him.
I'm like I would have played whether I
met LeBron or not.
>> Cuz of Mike. I'm like, you know what I'm
saying? I can see the child now
>> probably look at it like I don't see how
the [ __ ] y'all looking at Michael Jordan
like this. Like I'm like LeBron play how
he play cuz Michael Jordan existed.
>> There you go.
>> You get what I'm saying? Same way Magic
existed before. You know what I mean?
Like that's just how it go.
>> Like every generation have
>> we're going to get better and better cuz
we're practicing what they did grown.
They figured it out and finally got it
to this level and we going to take it
further cuz we going to learn that at
five. that's standing on the shoulders
of giants, gentlemen and ladies,
>> man.
>> But Jojo like what I be saying with this
like what the [ __ ] Michael Jordan was
doing, nobody was ever doing that [ __ ]
at the time. So it's like
>> what's funny is he made it look so easy
>> that people is dumb enough. I see people
all the time be like if if Michael
Jordan did it, you guys would think that
was just so cool. Michael Jordan just
does easy stuff. I'm like hey bro, I
know what it must look like. But I don't
think people realize that he had to
dribble the ball and p he could palm
that [ __ ] off of a dribble
>> and literally pick his poison on how
if I could you've seen how I jump.
If I could palm a ball,
I'm Vince Carter
>> cuz how the [ __ ] can you stop my dunk?
You can't. Especially half the league
when I first got in there cuz I'm like
[ __ ]
>> cuz you was about to do the dunk.
>> I'm young as hell. I hurt my knee.
>> Yeah, I remember.
>> It's like [ __ ] if if I had big ass hands
I'd be un that's why Kawhi Leonard. He
just don't dunk a lot. But it's like if
I go to the rim a bump don't matter.
Nothing matters
>> cuz I'm still have control of
>> you won't let me know when you ready to
go down and then I'm going put this
[ __ ] on your head. Like that's why
people start doing the, you know, the
business decision. That's what we call
it. You make a business decision. Don't
jump at that.
>> Get out of the way.
>> Jump got two feet in the lane. Just just
let him don't do it. We don't got time
for him to shoot a free throw. The crowd
go crazy potentially.
>> Momentum. Momentum.
>> Yeah. We ain't got time for this. We got
to call timeout. No, let him just dunk
that. Like, but Mike used to do some
miraculous [ __ ] And it's like it's why
the game has evolved to what it has.
>> Hanging in the air. Like the [ __ ] could
have that time when he could have just
laid that [ __ ] up. Yeah, bro.
>> Like this the nasty [ __ ]
>> That one that Hold on. That was a good a
meaningful game. Thank you. Yeah.
>> Against the Lakers.
>> Was no regular season [ __ ]
>> Oh.
>> Yeah. We seen him do stuff we ain't
never seen done. So
>> yeah, that at the time.
>> Yeah. So for us it's like
>> you see Kyrie do it and you like Kyrie
[ __ ] was more advanced. Kyrie saw Mike
do it.
>> Yeah.
>> He learned from God Sham God. Like a lot
of people don't know who God Sham God
is.
>> Yeah.
Like
godamn god is a [ __ ] Like
that's his that's his what you call it.
>> Huh?
>> Where?
>> Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh he he he got to
learn.
You go out here and and develop certain
tendencies
that
your favorite players, they had these
things that they do, but it's like we
can morph it because we're doing it at a
young age like we can unlock something.
>> We start unlocking but nobody else was
doing it.
>> So we got different eras. MJ, LeBron,
then who you think is like I'm saying
like you got MJ and then you got LeBron
and then who you think is coming up like
for the next era or the next generation?
>> That's what I'm saying. That's not how
this go.
>> No,
>> that's not how this go.
>> How it go?
>> You saying like who's
>> I think she's saying '9s.
>> Face of the league. You saying
>> I mean like Yeah.
>> You're just talking about the face of
the league.
>> 2000. Yeah. So, who's the next?
>> When we're talking about the greatest
ever, like
>> the 80s didn't have an offering.
>> Not like the greatest ever, but like,
you know what I'm saying? Like certain
generations are just not going to have
an offering at the greatest ever.
>> Okay.
>> [ __ ] come once every 100.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like, you
don't just get
>> you don't just get greatest ever. You
can have the best of the league, the
face of the league. If that's what we
talking about, Wimi.
>> Okay.
>> But the next to do the great [ __ ] No,
you just got to do the great [ __ ] We
don't even know who is who it is. Your
resume just starts stacking. Then you
look up. But [ __ ] was saying Michael
Jordan was the best player when he
retired the first time.
>> He don't No, he's unbeaten in the final.
>> He got a ring.
>> Like, yeah, bro.
>> You hear how [ __ ] was talking about
the [ __ ]
>> three beat twice.
>> He never lost in the final.
>> Yeah, twice.
>> He go left. The nigga's quote was, "When
I lose the sense of motivation to prove
something as a basketball player, it's
time for me to leave the game of
basketball." In translation, you [ __ ]
suck.
>> You're not challenging me enough, and I
think I'm just going to leave and play
something that's harder. And went and
played baseball.
>> Yeah.
>> And then decided, you know what? He just
went and played one-on-one with BJ
Armstrong. He was just shooting around
joking. They just joking around and he
like, "You know what? I missed this."
Came back and won three more.
>> God, that's crazy.
>> That's the wildest [ __ ] I dog. It's just
so I'm so mad that Mike wasn't born a
little bit later so I could play against
him.
>> You done met him before?
>> Yeah, I know Mike.
>> How that [ __ ] was meaning?
>> Awesome.
>> Hey, cuz No, some [ __ ] they were like,
"Bro, it's the bro, it's that
>> freeze up."
>> Yeah, they were like, "It's a oral cry
that [ __ ] get. It's uh it's only a few
people that you got to know where like
you ever there's certain people you get
around them and you have to know where
they're at in the room
>> and then there's people that
they're all going to let you know where
he is.
>> I played a high school game
>> killing.
We play a high school game. Game just
started and went probably a quarter in.
Michael Jordan walks in cuz his son's
playing. They didn't give a [ __ ] about
our game no more.
>> Just watching that [ __ ]
>> The refs watching
>> everybody till he sat down. The game
didn't start.
>> [ __ ] traveling like a [ __ ]
>> The whole game.
>> The ref watching Mike.
>> That's what I'm saying,
>> dog. No [ __ ] The whistle happened.
We noticed who it was walking in.
>> Yeah.
>> They gave an ovation.
All type of [ __ ] I'm like, "Nigga, this
is a active game right now and not one
person in here has a problem with this
man disrupting it." Like, he had to like
shuffle, get in the middle of the
bleaches where he wanted to sit for his
son game. Like, it was like a a big
thing, but it's like I also realized he
can't come in the beginning of the game.
He'd have [ __ ] up the whole vibe.
>> Thanks.
>> So, he has to surprise you
>> and then you got to like deal with that.
Like after he sat down, we like I had to
geek a little bit. Like I'm like,
>> you know, Mike had Mike at my game.
>> But I'm playing his son though. Like
Mark is looking like, "All right, dance
here."
>> Yeah. You know,
>> [ __ ] my dad. Damn. My dad had to come
watch me play.
>> I'm like, "Oh,
>> damn.
>> You got like you got like different
pairs of every Jordan. Like you got like
stuff.
>> For real though, that's the type of [ __ ]
was going through my mind. And I'm like,
Michael Jordan is here, bro.
>> I get to looking at his son shoes and
everything like, damn, he just got so
your name on all your shoes and [ __ ]
Like, you know what I mean? I ain't say
it to him, but that's
>> some whiny and [ __ ]
>> What got you into acting?
>> [ __ ] Lena wa Lena asked me uh if I
would do it. I had did a couple reads
for some [ __ ] because people was like,
"You should do some shit." And I was
like, "Yeah, I'd love to."
>> But I wasn't like going to acting school
and doing all that. And then Lena was
like, "Would you really lean into it?"
And then she would allow me to work with
the acting coach.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh when I was filming the show and I did
it and I was like, "This is cool." Like,
>> and then being on the shot like being
from Chicago, you ain't got to switch up
no lingo.
>> Yeah. Not lingo. They they definitely
liked it more without like I can't all
the way talk like me.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Cuz you didn't.
>> Huh.
>> You wasn't.
>> I know. is cuz you have to
>> I have to allow the character to be
whoever he is.
>> Yes.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like I have to
show there's parts of me that can like
how I get mad might show well on camera.
So yes, I'm going to be Iman and getting
mad. But if dude just don't give it up
like me as far as the accent, I had to
consciously make myself annunciate.
>> Yeah. Cuz Rob was a he he wasn't a Yeah.
And he wasn't like a street [ __ ] his
mama had money. So it's like when you
really got that accent, we ain't that's
unbelievable. Like you know what I'm
saying? So I get what you saying.
>> But I'm I'm saying like for me like I
really ain't a like project kid. Like it
ain't no [ __ ] like that. I have both my
parents everything. I just talk how I
talk. This is how everybody talk where
I'm from. Yeah. This how we talk.
>> That just that like somebody being in
Atlanta saying shouting and stuff like
that.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's like you ain't got to
be from no [ __ ] up to talk like this.
Like it just is what this how we talk.
Everybody top to bottom. But it was like
on the show I got to be conscious of it
and [ __ ] and I had to learn how to like
>> cuz I I done did plenty of scenes where
it's like I read the line but I'm like
oh in Chicago though we say this so
I'mma you know what I mean? They ain't
using that [ __ ] like cut
>> like that.
>> Say this.
>> Can you just give me the line?
>> Just the lie. You know what I'm saying?
Oh man. Joe, can you not don't add Joe?
>> Yeah.
>> Let's take the Joe out.
>> Like Joe is they shouting.
>> Yeah.
>> Take that out.
>> Everybody average Joe. What's up Joe?
>> Gotcha.
>> You ain't got to know nobody name. Joe
[ __ ] Like what? Charlie.
>> They say G. That's outside for real.
>> Okay.
>> What's up G?
>> Damn G. Yeah, cuz they really saying GD
with the gang.
>> Damn. Appreciate it. But I was saying
though, you got to think, especially
now, like especially now gang culture in
Chicago, it's like some people are just
grandfathered in where it's like they
don't gang bang. They don't care to do
none of that, but it's like they daddy
went down doing that [ __ ] And of course
they gonna be proud about whatever they
That's what people don't a lot of people
don't
take that into
consideration that it's like there's a
lot of people that
might have a flag or whatever. But it's
like if you wake up out the womb dog and
this is all you
>> this all you know this all Yeah.
>> What if you just like blue now?
You know, like what if you just like if
your whole your whole city is black and
red
>> and your gang is they wear red flags
>> and you grew up with all of them and
it's like you are a good kid. Like I'm a
great kid. It's just these is my this my
blood family, you know.
>> [ __ ]
>> It's all and this red look cool, [ __ ]
Look.
>> I'm just around this every day all day.
>> Real talk. That's being from Chicago.
That was so much for me. I was so
nervous to go to Cali. I'm like, "Bro, I
wear black and red all the time." Like,
I ain't know they was that serious. I
thought it was a joke.
>> [ __ ]
>> And they like, "No, it's that serious."
>> Everything means something. Like all the
hats, like it could be like a Florida
Marlin hat. [ __ ]
>> you hear about that tragic thing with
the high school football player. He was
from Oh, no. Uh Texas
>> was visiting some family.
>> Had a Houston Astro Astros hats on or
hat on.
>> You know, they got the star with the
with the H in the middle.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. They and not even outside. They
shot the car.
>> What?
>> Yeah.
>> Thinking it was somebody else.
>> You know what it is? Yeah.
>> That's crazy.
>> The H is for the
>> Yep.
>> Hoovers.
>> Yeah.
>> That's That's a sad ass story, bro.
>> Yeah.
>> But people do show.
>> After you started acting, then you uh
got linked up with doing the Country
Wayne skits. How that was?
>> Oh yeah. Wayne, that my boy.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh that was cool, man. cuz it's like,
you know, I got so sick of people people
do this thing where they're like,
"Oh, you're on this network, so you made
it now."
>> And I'm like, I think it's very strange
for people to want to make it more than
make money.
>> Mhm. Say that again.
>> Like you you want to make it and like it
>> is fame.
>> Yeah. No,
>> [ __ ] don't even know what that look
like. I'm like, "Bro, I've been on TV
for like because they're putting you on
TV, they actually are giving you less
money."
>> Boy, say that.
>> Feel like they're paying you an
exposure.
>> Come on, bro.
>> Yeah. They like, "Bro, we you on our
platform.
>> You know what time it is? Come on. You
know how many people watch this? Where
the [ __ ] money?"
>> Straight up.
>> You want to see the [ __ ]
>> But people have that in their mind. So,
it's like I could really get paid
something where I'm like, man, this
ain't no real money, but it's power. I
don't want to use power cuz I heard they
be they be breaking people off and
getting people right. So I ain't gonna I
wasn't trying to I was just of a show.
>> But [ __ ] it. We could use power because
this this promo for them. Yeah. If y'all
need me
>> straight up.
>> Just saying.
>> I could live in that power universe. Um
>> the force.
>> But uh bro,
>> but um
>> yeah. [ __ ] I just lost my thought. Um
>> because they see you on power, they
>> Oh, yeah. because they see you on Power,
they'll be like, "Bro, like it's going
so good." And it'll be like, "Bro, Power
could have just gave me a $500 check for
that."
>> Mhm.
>> Well, I'm getting 500. I'm like, "Bro, I
you know how much I used to make a
game?" Like, bro,
>> yeah, that's So, in my mind, I used to
be feeling like that. And with Country
Wayne, I was like, "Bro, how are you
able to pay that many actors all month?"
Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm
like, this system that you figured out
is now generating more money than having
to go and get a third party that will be
willing to put the money behind a
project but take so much of the profit
that you're stuck in a contract for
>> you know what I'm saying? Like he don't
have to stop or actually keep going at
all. Like he good
>> man. That universe so big with them. But
>> he take himself and just keep pouring it
back into more skits. Like most people
would get that money
>> faithfully.
>> Most people will get that money though
and you start enjoying it a little bit.
He take it and just put it back in
>> that uh they not to sidebar but they got
like three four episodes a day.
>> More than that boy. What
>> they post every 15 minutes. It's a new
one. Get He done posted about how long
we been the [ __ ]
>> what?
>> Yeah, that man done posted probably
about 50 60 skits while we've been in
here.
>> Every day I believe they post uh
>> country.
>> I believe it's like I think they're up
to like 200 something posts a day.
>> Ernestine they they in
>> Ernestine. Yeah.
>> Like it's so many like
>> series going on with you could be
following this story. Yeah. And then now
you just seeing other [ __ ]
>> Damn.
>> I I've seen like clips and stuff. I I
never actually
>> But it's like in
>> say for instance, you know how people
got they
>> it's just people that's all they watch.
They don't watch TV. They watch the
Country Wayne World.
>> So it be a fan base. You done got a fan
base just from that.
>> Yeah. It's a sitcom.
>> Where you watching at?
>> On his Facebook.
>> They got his page. Facebook.
>> It's on Facebook. So, go to Facebook to
really watch it. But they'll post the
clips on YouTube. You can get it on
other platforms,
>> but if you want to keep up, you have to
follow his Facebook.
>> Okay.
>> But it it's raw because in my mind, I'm
like,
this is like he just innovative as [ __ ]
to know,
especially with what I was going
through. I'm like, I'm the perfect move.
I don't talk. I don't do this, I don't
do that. And Wayne could just go crazy
with the character.
You know what I'm saying? But it's cool
because like it's
like I didn't realize it was like that,
but it's like, bro, it's really
believable. Like,
>> you know what I'm saying? Like the the
way he put it together, it just like I
see why people sometime really do be
asking me like, "Man, where's Shayla?"
like, "Man, come on.
>> Where's she at?" I swear for God,
sweaty, for the longest they I swear to
God, for the longest I be getting asked
like like Delicia like where she at in
your house right now like why we don't
never see her when you woo woo and I'm
like bro we must be this is a good
thing. Yeah, I like that.
>> But it was a world before I even got
there. Like that's what I think is so
cool. Like I'm so humbled to be cuz I
get it that people be like, "Man, a a
basketball player wouldn't do that." You
know what I'm saying? Or he's on hard
times if he doing that. And in my mind,
I'm like, "Y'all have no clue what this
[ __ ] got going cuz Wayne might be too
smart for his own good."
>> He told me one day that because he got
the country accent, people don't realize
he actually smart. He like, "I might not
be able to articulate it like you." He
like, "But I swear I could get it done
for."
>> He funny as hell though, man. You know
what? Do a sick on Facebook from the
phone.
>> That's crazy.
>> Smartest [ __ ] going.
>> So you got to think well all them
networks what they got to do camera then
they turn around edit.
>> He don't even edit. Yeah.
>> He don't even edit. He shoot one shot.
>> He stopped that [ __ ] at three minutes.
He said he'll he But you know what's so
dope about country and I say this the
[ __ ] sit down and tell the game like he
ain't like gate. He tell you what he
doing.
>> It's not about that though.
>> Yeah.
>> It's not about if he told you what he
doing.
people been doing this. It's just they
can't write it.
>> What I realized is we don't understand
like you know how we watch a show and
we'll be like I don't even see why that
mother want number one.
>> You know what I'm saying? Like I don't
even see how they doing this or why they
doing that. They should have did this or
they should have did that. But it's like
they already got us cuz we watched it.
>> Yeah.
>> Invested.
>> That's why they wrote it like that.
>> They f to watch another episode. They
sit in rooms and really think about that
cuz it's like if it don't spark them
type of convers why would the character
not do this this
>> obvious
>> that's what it's all about. Can we start
these conversations and make that live
on for as long
>> man watching that little [ __ ]
>> calling it [ __ ] and you watching
that lock watching it [ __ ] man
>> you be focus they doing that
>> next episode
>> next episode going I swear that's how I
start watching batties. Shout out
Natalie N, man.
That's where one of my friends came
over. She like, "Hey, we need to watch
baddies. You You got Zeus." I like, "Hey
man, stop playing with me, Joe. I'm
thinking this," you know what I'm
saying? I'm like, I thought that was
like some internet [ __ ] Like, you had
to go on the internet or I ain't know
how they was watching it, honestly. I
ain't know.
>> And they turned it on, dog. I watched
one episode, somebody teeth got knocked
off. I said, "Oh, yeah. Sign me up."
>> Yeah. Now, now you got that.
>> I'm locked in.
>> [ __ ] When the new season come out.
>> Yeah. I started off like that where I
was like I like y'all watching this.
They just doing a bunch of arguing, man.
So unproductive. [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
Oh.
Oh. Hey. Hey. Run it back. I a seed
that some fights.
>> What started that, bro?
>> Man, I do. I ain't gonna lie. Cuz it's
just like sports, man. People watch
fights and for some reason they get this
like super negative feeling in their
stomach.
>> I watch fights and it's like watching
two people play one-on-one basketball.

basketball. Like when he did that, why
you ain't hit him with the swim? You
could have moved that hand then you
would have had him open right here in
the side. You should have hit him there.
Hard to breathe. Hard to breathe.

I'm like, [ __ ] you said all of that. I
didn't even say these words.
>> He just with it.

get him out my face. But he basic it's
like it's the equivalent of me saying uh
>> boy that crazy.
>> So um Jojo, so you know you came last
night after you left work, you went to
that dude house and you slept over his
house and did that cuz you ain't call
me. So I figured you ain't call me

it's like no, you questioned me of that.
>> I said some [ __ ] It wasn't even
what you said. But because I didn't say
no, I don't think they did. I think I
said like I don't watch it for real. But
he made it seem like I don't watch it
because I think that they copied our
character. Got it. It just went crazy.
>> And it went crazy because then people
start clicking on it like he do have a
high top like Shump. She do have a
six-pack like
>> Yo, Shump, are you going to sue?
>> That's what it was. No [ __ ] But
then a reporter after the game that
wasn't him asked me about that, which
made me even mad cuz I'm like, "Bro, how
>> like we just [ __ ] won.
>> We won. Their TV show doesn't need promo
from me."
>> Yeah.
>> Why are we doing this? And I felt like
even the NBA was going to get mad at me
for that cuz it's like, bro, why are we
promoting a TV show that don't got to
deal with the NBA?
>> I just didn't understand. I got so mad
at him for that. But you know, we cool
now. It's all good, Kurt. We all good.
>> H how how how did that start? Like when
you seen him like, "Bro, why you do that
shit?"
>> Oh, no. I was tight.
>> Yeah.
>> I ain't I wasn't I'm I wasn't It wasn't
the best words.
>> Yeah,
>> cuz Chris also ain't no [ __ ] Like he
ain't no just regular.
>> He knew he he knew he did wrong though.
>> He knew I was hot. He He knew I was
going to tweak. He like, "Man," he also
was like, "I didn't know it was going to
do all that, my brother." Like,
>> you know, it did get it. It's getting a
little crazy. I didn't know it was going
to do that, but I
>> So, it grew legs for sure,
>> huh?
>> It grew legs.
>> Yeah. Yeah, it grew some big legs.
>> Yeah.
>> Them [ __ ] was stepping and
stomping. Yeah,
>> cuz it was just like a lot. And then it
got to the point where my team was like
teasing me about the [ __ ] Like they
thought the [ __ ] was funny that I was
going crazy.
>> Yeah. And then
>> we on the Cavs. So, it's like anything
attached to us gets into the algorithm
of LeBron. I'm like, I'm sure y'all show
was Happy Empire. Yeah, y'all just got
to tell you is like [ __ ] couldn't wait
to have something to finally like, you
know what I mean?
>> That man lashed out in the locker room
that was also written like you knew it
was coming, but it's like sweaty. Like
>> true to character.
>> Yeah,
>> true to character. Like I had to sp. But
uh yeah, that besides that, I don't
think nothing was really bad like media
wise. I think I was pretty pretty out
the way. That one there [ __ ] me up
though.
ready to steal off
>> before you get out here. I'mma ask I
Everybody can ask that. I'm going say
your most memorable game ever.
>> Most memorable.
>> It could be college, high school, NBA.
Like just
>> most memorable game is the one before I
played AU cuz it was my segue.
I was playing small fry basketball in
Chicago.
But not no I was playing on a travel
team and they played small fry and I was
two inches too tall to play small fry.
>> They used to lower the rims.
>> Yeah.
>> But it was like a juking league like
everybody used to be lit but it was for
like all the Chicago point guards cuz
they was all super short. So they had a
disadvantage once we all got tall. So I
was getting tall early. They couldn't
come. They chose to go to the small fry
tournament instead of coming to the
tournament that we had. And
my father had already paid.
So
that
he had already paid. I had to be like
10.
We get there.
We supposed to have two other people
meet us. They built
My dad gave a jersey to my little
brother,
one of my friends that just came to the
tournament just on some chill. Oh, no.
His dad was
>> refing.
>> Mhm.
>> Reffing a couple of the other games or
whatever. And he just came to kick it.
He was really programmed to play
basketball. I mean, football.
He played, his little brother played.
And my dad picked some big kid that was
just like a fat kid that didn't make the
team type [ __ ]
>> Just was like,
>> "You want to play?"
>> Dude was like, "Yeah."
>> The team we had to play walk in with
all blue book bags, gym bags,
headphones, everything. Team
they doing drills to start. We on the
other end with five people. We look
ghetto as [ __ ]
>> Bad news bears
>> jerseys,
random shorts, like couple of they
wearing like khaki short. Like he really
wasn't here to play. Like he was just
watching.
And before the game, I remember being
like like damn near with a lump in my
throat. Like damn, you fa to make me
play. Like bro,
that [ __ ] grabbed me by my shirt, dog,
and looked me dead. I'll never forget
that energy.
>> Yeah.
>> And he was like, "Can anybody over there
stop you?" I was like, "No." But I'm
like, "Nigga, like
>> they lose.
>> Look at my team.
>> I don't have my team."
>> Oh, your team.
>> Yeah. I'm like, "I ain't got nothing to
help. Like, it's five of them, one of
me."
>> He said, "Can anybody stop you?" I said,
"No." He said, "Then don't let them."
>> Straight up.
>> Just win the game.
>> And I remember that he let my [ __ ] go.
Looked down. My [ __ ] was twisted like
that and I didn't touch it. I left it.
>> But I remember my mind changing. It was
the first game I played where I'm like
>> cuz I play point guard.
>> Yeah.
>> So I'm used to dishing
>> handling doing a lot of different stuff.
But I remember thinking I'm not passing
this ball.
>> Like literally my little I kid you not.
I dribbled the ball off my foot, got it
back like saved it type [ __ ]
threw it to my little brother. I'm
getting up to get it back. My little
brother just launches this [ __ ]
>> like on carton.
>> Give a [ __ ]
>> Makes the [ __ ]
>> Goes to the other end and start doing a
celebration, dog. Ebo,
>> listen though. They playing a full game
like this a real team. They take it out.
Pitch it ahead. Kasani celebrating.
He lit. Lit.
>> He ain't thinking this.
>> He made a three. He couldn't wait to
tell my mama.
>> Yeah,
>> he rocked that [ __ ] Hook.
>> He lit dancing and [ __ ] I'm screaming
like, "Get back." Like,
>> but just to give you an idea of who I
was playing with. The other kid like got
a rebound and just was like, like, "Take
it. Like, get away from me, guys. Like,
it's too much."
>> The other [ __ ] was tired. The one
[ __ ] was crying cuz he was just so
exhausted. He had never played a game
and had no breaks.
>> Damn.
>> Yeah,
>> bro. Probably finished this game with
like 60 points. We won by two.
>> And then the team that was got to play,
they had to play the winner of my team
verse the other team the next day.
And the Midwest Wolves came over to my
dad and was like, "Who is that?" He was
like, "That that's my son." He was like,
"He needs to be on our team."
>> And after that, I entered the AAU stage.
That was my first day. But I'll never
forget that [ __ ] grabbed me and was
like, "Can anybody over there stop you?"
>> So, what age was this?
>> Probably like 10, 11.
>> 10. Shorty, I had never scored that many
times in my life.
>> Tired as hell.
>> But dad was proud as [ __ ]
>> Yeah.
>> Well, he was.
>> Did your dad show it
>> cuz you know?
>> Yeah. The only time he showed he was
proud as hell after the North Carolina
thing and then
>> when I went and played in LeBron camp, I
40 to everybody. I was [ __ ] [ __ ]
up.
>> Yeah.
>> But that was uh
>> I had just lost my
was it was it
I had just lost some sort of game and
then
Supo nose got broke. He didn't play cuz
he was playing football and he was like
his nose messed up till he get a custom
mask.
>> He wasn't playing
>> and again I felt alone

>> Yeah. So most of the time my dad let me
get away with like he'll just cuz me and
my dad we cool as hell. That's my you
know ride or die. So we'll talk about
what happened. And
>> he'll be like, "Okay, I understand why
that happened. You can't do that [ __ ] no
more."
>> Like and then sometimes like my mama got
mad about that. Like you not gonna
discipline her. You know what I'm
saying? So sometimes he used to act like
he would whoop me and like hit the
counter to the to the um

He might not have whooped you, but I'm
sure he probably Absolutely.

disappointed was enough. I didn't need
him to like

look of just like why would you kick out
the D before me and my dad used to watch
basketball together, but I would
[ __ ] He like no no no don't sit in
here. I was like
>> damn you.
>> Yeah. I'm like you really ain't [ __ ]
with me, gang. like a lot. It was a
behavioral issue. Like I'm like it was I
I still got good grades. Like
>> but he wasn't [ __ ] with me. He like
you a clown. Like you want to be a class
clown, be a clown.
>> Just do it over there. Like you ain't
rocking with me. And I just was like
uhuh.
>> I got to get back in there with the
guys. They drinking beers watching the
game.
>> Yeah. They picking it. I'm like this my
kicking time where I sit on the rug.
They talk basketball. They argue. This
where I learn. learn your [ __ ] talking
about when they go to school. [ __ ] I
feel like a grown man. That's how you
learn how to use curse words. But
they'll curse and be like, "Hey, y'all
don't say that."
>> They're like, "You just told me exactly
how to say it and when to say it and to
feel it." Like you got to feel it from
your soul when you say it. They be like,
"Man, that's some bullshit."
>> I used to be looking at TV [ __ ]
get a foul. Baby, that's some [ __ ]
I used to lose a lot of money. But
you're but you're a girl dad so your
discipline I mean
>> Oh no I'm soft as [ __ ] I ain't going to
lie.
>> Yeah like I'm a punk. I was but I was
immediately with Juny.
>> It's easier with Rub because I have Juny
already.
>> So Juny actually caught a little bit
more strict parenting. Like they got two
different parents.
I was more militant in the regards of
rules is rules, especially if Juny like
she had to get a powpow one time for a
glass. But she was taking the glasses
and going like this,
>> clicking them and banging them. I'm
like, I get it. The sound is new. Stop
doing it. She did it again and I heard a
little bit of a crack.
>> Grabbed both of the glasses out of hand.
I moved real quick, but I had to cuz I'm
like, you're going to hurt yourself. I'd
much rather pow pow on the butt than
your hands slit up and you having glass
stars.
>> Explain that is totally different.
>> Oh my.
>> There you go.
>> Oh, you got like you
>> Oh, when you get to the hospital with
glasses
>> child protector when you get protective
service right here, Mr.
>> Yeah. Hell yeah.
>> Hey, you know what's crazy? I saw a clip
the other day, bro. They said, "Do you
realize that child services
will see that you don't have the money
to take care of your babies, come in and
evaluate it and then take your babies
from you to give them to another family
and pay the family to take care of
them?"
>> It's crazy as [ __ ] when they could have
just paid you
>> the parent.
>> Boy,
>> it's a dirty game.
>> You hear [ __ ] like that, you be like,
>> "That's wild."
>> And it's like, "How the [ __ ] have I been
How have I been living this long and
never noticed it?"
>> That's why you lucky, bro.
>> I never thought about it,
>> man. No dead ass. Like, you you're in a
fortune position to where you never had
to even think about that [ __ ]
>> But it's like even when I heard the
system.
>> Yeah.
Just my intuition period should have
been able to pick up. That's incorrect
because why didn't y'all just give the
government checks straight to them?
>> Y'all knew they was going to have these
type of struggles if they was already
section 8 program.
>> So now they can't link on section 8 and
get the money that you was going to give
a family that already got money.
>> Man, you know what the master plan is,
huh?
>> For sure. But it just like when I seen
Yeah. When I seen the clip, I was just
like, that's amazing. Like, and that's
the type of [ __ ] that I feel like should
have
>> 3,000 likes and 4 million shares. And
it's like, why this can't be viral?
>> Never.
>> Why this ain't on shade?
>> Why the [ __ ] y'all tell? Get that [ __ ]
off the internet. Shade room. Post this.
>> Wipe it.
>> Like, post [ __ ] like that where we all
have to take the second to be like,
>> "Yeah,
>> yeah,
>> Trump.
>> Is it something we could vote on this
about?"
>> Yeah, like Trump. No, matter of fact,
specifically that. Mhm.
>> Trump stop taking people babies to give
to strangers when all they needed was
the money that you given the stranger
>> in the first place.
>> They just needed the money. You ain't
going to
>> They probably need all the money that
you giving to that family. They just
needed a couple more hunters
>> straight up.
>> And now you got an incapable parent cuz
they got to go through life now without
their kid. They depressed. They ain't
[ __ ]
>> And then they go to this new house. They
this family, you not my real child. So
it's like a different You saying it's a
different Yeah. It's not even I've hear
so many horror stories like about how
those housings like some of the housing
ain't even right. They do all types of
weird [ __ ] like to Bro, that [ __ ] is
[ __ ] up.
>> That's a dirty.
>> They be on some weird [ __ ] Like it
don't even be real healthy. I'll be like
who does the vetting on these families
before these kids even get there to
begin with?
>> Your paperwork got to be right. That
[ __ ]
>> that [ __ ] is crazy. Some of the stories
that I've heard from just children who's
been put in the system. It's like, how
in the hell did you come out of that to
come into this? At least you weren't
harmed.
>> Like, you may have went to sleep hungry
a couple times, but harmed. Like,
>> yeah, there's a couple [ __ ] I
had to eat sleep for dinner, man.
>> For sure. But you okay?
>> You're okay.
>> Real talk. Everybody had a struggle meal
or two. It'd be all right, bro.
>> For real.
>> It be all right. I definitely don't
watch my parents not eat,
>> not knowing, thinking they just wasn't
hungry.
>> Yeah.
>> And that's a blessing. you was able to
change their life.
>> What? But when I understood it, when my
brother yelled at me and told me we was
broke,
>> I was like, "Nigga, I ain't a
>> No, like the [ __ ] from lottery ticket.
>> Wake the [ __ ] up, nigga."
>> Yeah, it was just like that.
>> Like the [ __ ] from lottery ticket.
>> It was just like that. Like look around
like [ __ ] we are broke.
>> Straight up.
>> Broke.
>> He like
>> Yeah. Straight up.
>> Yeah. He was bas
>> your older brother. I I I was I was
basically throwing a fit and asked my
mama to buy me something just on some
cool [ __ ]
>> Oh yeah.
>> Like on some I just want to impress a
girl. My homies all got this like and
I'm just like but you said we could like
I'm just really just being a spoiled
little brat.
>> And I'm thinking in my mind like dad
said if I you know what I'm saying got
good grades. I'm like, "Nigga, I'm a
straight A student. Like, y'all supposed
to buy me this." Like, but I just didn't
understand the concept of money at all.
>> Yeah.
>> In my mind, I did good in school.
>> Where? Yeah. Magic money should pay for
what I want.
>> Yeah.
>> [ __ ] you looking goddamn house right
now. And he basically was like, "Stop
begging for [ __ ] You want [ __ ] save
your money. Stop spending your birthday
money on stupid [ __ ] Stop doing dumb
[ __ ] You want to do it? Do it this way.
Don't do that to mommy no more."
>> And I was looking like,
>> but it it switched me
>> after that. I I did.
>> But that hard though. I
>> I took it serious after that.
>> You ain't lying.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I took it serious after that
cuz I realized like they're doing
everything they can so that we don't
feel [ __ ]
>> Yeah. Was he the oldest?
>> He's second.
>> But he definitely processed. He was the
most in tune. He got a job the quickest.
>> Oh, okay.
>> Like he was just in tune.
>> That's the middle child.
>> Yeah. Already the middle child.
>> Yeah. Mhm.
>> But you know how like sometimes like
this how I look at it cuz like when
people are doing stuff like that first
child usually see like you was around
when your parents was still growing up
and doing little [ __ ] So it's like you
know like [ __ ]
>> Yeah. But do do you see like the middle
child always being the most responsible
though? They always take care of [ __ ]
cuz I I see that the middle child always
got
>> because the first like he said first
child was with the parents. They didn't
really know the routine nothing.
>> Yeah. the second or third child,
whichever your middle is, is gonna be
like, "Okay, boom.
>> I done watched this kid get in trouble
for this, that kid." You could fall in
line quicker cuz you got people got an
example right in front of you that are a
couple years older.
>> Then your parents is different. They're
now more responsible. They're like,
"They're older. We can't let them see us
doing this. We already got caught with
him.
>> Let's keep it cool with these two." So,
you just become a better. The youngest
child, they tired.
>> Tired. You let them let them have it.
Let them have it.
>> Do whatever the hell they want. They got
it. Go ahead, man. Just be quiet. Okay.
>> Mad as hell they get to do whatever the
hell they want to do. Like
>> Yeah. Juny be hot. Juny be looking like
why is the rules changing now?
>> No. Straight up.
>> Like why do this little girl get to
like, daddy, I didn't get to do that.
And I'll be looking like damn.
>> Yeah.
>> You feel me? Yeah. I might have been
drunk when you was doing it. You know
what I'm saying? I might not have liked
that. You need to stop.
>> Stop it.
>> Yeah. With R. I just want R not crying,
man. And R, don't cry.
>> No iPads for her during the week. [ __ ]
she going to get this iPad. Just keep
her quiet. Get
>> I can we I be having to wean my daughter
off it, too, though. Cuz naturally, if
you let them, they will rock out.
>> But if you during the day do activities
with them by night time,
>> go ahead, baby.
>> Yeah, that what I'm saying.
>> But that just means some people let the
iPad wake up with the daughter. If the
iPad wake up with them and they do it to
sun down, that's different. Now, if they
done had a day worth of stuff, like I
like my like one of my favorite things
my kids do, they play in the dirt.
>> That's hard.
>> I love it.
>> Going outside.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. My daughters, they be
playing. They want to learn. They'll
like we put salt on slugs. Please, if
that's animal cruelty, I'm sorry, but

where we was actually. I was like, damn,
maybe they don't have a starting thing
cuz we Yeah. Like maybe they don't do an
intro. Maybe they just dive into it and
grab clips cuz I was like I think the
light on, but I'm like I'm not going to
keep looking over there.
>> Oh yeah. Oh, so in the beginning we
ain't hadn't even started that [ __ ] on
like it just
>> That's what I'm saying. But I'm saying
how the conversation never went to like
this formal weird [ __ ] like it kept me
in. We at home right here, bro.

do no [ __ ] like that. family [ __ ] Yeah.
Like I said, he see another Georgia Tech
n like he got me. Like he ain't going to
have me out here looking bogus.
>> I'm a partner though. You know what I
mean? Every time I'm in Detroit, I'm in
with him. But
>> but it's the same way like with Jojo.
Like having Jojo head make me feel like
like they wouldn't even put out no
[ __ ]
>> You better know it.
>> If I jagged and said some whack [ __ ]
they'll be like,

>> This is women's sports
>> because I think it's so [ __ ]
>> But that's why I'm glad Ena's cancer is
doing it. Yeah. Because he
>> him being him, Royce being Royce,

There's female and there's male and it's
like we can have a league to celebrate
it. All he's doing is trying to say just
make it to where nothing like me can go
against my daughters
>> and then we're cool. But you also need
to y'all need to do some research with
Enus cancer.
>> That dude always has been outgoing about
a lot of political things.
>> Okay,
>> that's important.
>> He speaks
>> his mind. And what we have to understand
about this country is
>> that's our right. That's why this
country is this country.
>> Yeah,

to say that

>> He changed his name to Enis Freedom.
Okay.
>> And it says he's a human rights
activist.
>> Yeah.
>> Turkish American human rights activist.

in the league, certain stuff happens,
>> all the players get silent.
>> He'll go speak. He makes sure he's
knowledgeable about it. Like he cares
about it. It's a passion for him. So
it's like I can't get mad about that
because it's like [ __ ] I done been p
I'm passionate about [ __ ] pitching a TV
show. Yeah. recording the album
>> and it's like this is all stuff that is
just

does give a [ __ ]
>> and I and you know he ain't doing it
just for no this like
>> he's doing it for awareness. Yeah, he
>> counts. So I I I I do I know that it
might strike people the wrong way
sometimes. It might rub people the wrong
way sometimes to have these
conversations. But we do owe it to
ourselves as Americans to not feel like
we can't talk about something
constructive once a certain community is
brought up. It's like that's what's made
comedy so good. Like comedy has figured
out.

want to play against the women? Go play
against the other way some panties and
