Hold on.
I was reading this thing.
This is just a random...
I was listening to this thing.
It said the 40th richest people in America,
white people in America,
are richer than all the black people in America combined.
Ain't that crazy?
40 motherfuckers is richer than all the black people in America combined.
That makes sense.
That shit crazy.
That is crazy, though.
That was just a random fact I heard.
I was just thinking like, damn. Niggas. That is crazy though. That was just a random fact I heard. I was just thinking like,
damn. Yeah, that's...
Niggas ain't got no money.
We've been on the A-ball like a month.
Yeah, it was. It's 40 people.
White people just got better resources though, bro.
They just take all of them
actually. I mean, it just happens though.
They start off better.
Yeah. For sure. But I was just thinking that
like 40 people.
We get all the niggas in one room.
We get all in one state.
It's 40 people just chilling on a farm.
We know 40 people.
No, actually 40 people.
It's 40 people with way more money.
It's 40 people that lied to Hendrix Experience.
They think it's like, you know what?
We about to shake all this shit up.
Man, what?
That's crazy.
Shut shit down.
I wonder what the richest one is, though.
Wonder what he worth or she worth.
I'm going to say probably Jeff Bezos
in America.
Jeff Bezos the richest in America?
I would imagine.
Maybe worth $250 billion.
If there's somebody who does even as close
that we don't know about, that's crazy, too.
Elon and Jeff go back and forth.
Elon might be up.
He's currently up right now.
As of December 2024.
What's he worth?
$2.44.
Bro.
What do you do with that?
What do you do with that type of capabilities, bro?
I don't know. Buy Twitter.
I'm going to be real. I don't want to be that powerful. capabilities, bro? I don't know. Buy Twitter. You too powerful.
I'm going to be real.
Send random ships to... I don't want to be that powerful.
All right, I'll ask y'all a question.
Y'all wake up tomorrow a billionaire.
What y'all on?
A solid billionaire, you still can live cool.
What you mean live cool?
No, I'm saying when you got $244 billion,
you can damn near bitch say something.
I dare you.
All right, $100 billion.
I had $100 billion. Yeah, you wake up tomorrow $100 billion. Bro, you. All right. A hundred billion. I had a hundred billion dollars.
Yeah.
You got some hundred billion.
Bro, if I had a hundred million dollars.
Right.
What do you mean?
No, that's game changing.
A hundred million dollars
and like somebody just gave me
an extra hundred million dollars.
What the fuck do y'all want to do?
Like I'm doing everything.
But a billion dollars?
Yeah.
I probably pay everybody. I give everybody I know a million dollars. That a billion dollars? Yeah. I probably pay everybody I know.
I give everybody I know a million dollars.
That's just to start it off.
I only know about 100 people.
Yeah.
Damn.
So everybody a million around me, we all lit.
Yeah, might as well.
Yeah, I got 900 left.
What am I going to do with this money?
Knock yourself out.
Yeah.
Just a random fact.
The richest black person in America is worth $11 billion.
The 50th richest person in America, white person, non-black person, is worth $15.6 billion.
Wow.
The 50th richest white person.
That's crazy.
Wow, bro.
Yeah.
Just to put things in perspective.
But I'm saying though Elon Musk bro
you too powerful bro
so I don't want to be
that powerful bro
that come with a lot bro
and didn't Jeff Bezos
have to split his shit
in half
yeah
and he's still number two
Jeff really won there
cause
when you got that much
weight
cause his wife probably
on that list somewhere
she probably like
she top 20 for sure
how about her
his ex wife probably
35 I mean but that don't mean that when you got that much on that list somewhere. She probably like... She top 20 for sure. How about her ex-wife? Probably 35.
I mean,
but that don't mean
that we ain't got
that much money, bro.
I probably was
smiling at my divorce.
Like,
$100 million,
I feel away.
I got to give you 50
and I don't like you no more.
I'm shitty.
I ain't gonna lie.
She's 26.
Yeah, see,
my bitch is still at the top. I can get her
back.
She's still at the AP poll?
I can get her back.
But if you got a Hermie and your wife wipe you down
for 50, you are sick, bro.
It's different. It's different tears, bro.
If I got $200 billion and my wife
take $100 billion, I'm like,
fuck it. I'll make it back.
Yeah, bro.
If I get it back in two years, who cares?
That ain't nothing.
Don't nothing.
Man, what?
I don't even know what I'd do with that type of money.
I don't even know what it's like.
I know everybody be rich.
I might get everybody $2 million.
Just cause.
Cause I'm going to invest the money in something, so I'm going to get it back.
Just for interest alone alone putting $900 million
let's just say you put it in a bank
what?
I'm just saying
but like
$2 million everybody got to get out of my face
let me get 4% interest on this $900 million
$900 million
what the fuck
you're not going to be able to afford to pay you.
Like, sir, you just
own everything, so. Yeah, just
buy country. I don't know what you want to do with that.
Nah, for real. Two million
dollars a piece, everybody got to get out my face.
Of course.
No complaints. No complaints.
I ain't even say what I was going to do for my mama and them.
I don't either. That's just the niggas I know.
Like, yeah. Pay off child support for the niggas I know. Yeah.
Yeah, your mama and them got to be sure.
Pay off child support for the rest of your life, my nigga.
Yeah.
But my mama and them.
That's a hell of a lifeline.
That's a hell of a lifeline.
I'm going to give my mama and them 25.
If I'm on child support, give me mine under the table.
Yeah.
You talking to a motherfucker, but.
Yeah.
She can't take you.
You can't go to court.
She can't take you to court, though.
Because it's a gift. It's a gift. Just make sure it's cash.
I don't need a money order or wire or nothing.
I'll pick it up in increments if I need to.
Give a nigga shit in doubles?
Yeah, that's cool. That's crazy. I need a picture
with T.
That's crazy.
Listen, this morning, man man you brought up a very interesting
topic at 520 in the morning
let's revisit
that man you had a nice
conversation we started up
here we go
what was it
we had a conversation
oh niggas
don't forget it now let's talk
I hate pauses in this. Let's talk. No, I'm saying,
how we said it though.
I hate pauses in this podcast.
How we said it though.
So basically,
let me know
if I'm saying it correctly.
Basically,
it was just like,
you know,
a lot of college athletes
we see,
we talk about black men
ending up with white women.
It's just like,
a lot of these athletes,
especially in college,
when they ain't there
or they struggling
going through it,
they end up having somebody
who's pushing them
through college and nine times out of ten, it's usually a white woman.
Yeah.
It's just like, so it's just like, what are they supposed to do? Like when they get older,
if they've been with this person for this long, are they supposed to abandon them to
not go into a stereotype? Or are they supposed to be with the people who've been there with
them?
I mean, yeah, I think I've seen Dr. Umar talking about this, too. But the point I was making is that a lot of high school kids,
they start in high school because a lot of the good athletes
or the better players in high school, college, whatever you're going on,
they went to prep schools.
And not too many inner city kids, black kids go to prep schools, right?
You might find a couple of black kids at a prep school,
but let's just use Bronny as an example.
He go to Sierra Canyon where it's usually pretty well-off people that go to that school, right?
Mm-hmm.
I mean, we just looked at the numbers.
Yeah, they kids definitely go to Sierra Canyon.
Yeah, there ain't too many black people going to that school.
You know what I mean?
So what you're around is what you're going to attract.
He around that.
That's what he's going to end up being around and fucking with.
I don't know.
Then you go to college, you go to a PWI.
That's all that's there.
So you're going to mess with what you're around.
I mean, I think some of our top athletes,
it's hard to tell them to go to an HBCU just because of the amenities.
Like, I'm going to go to, I'm going to turn down Alabama
for like Georgia State, I mean, Jackson State.
And then you go to Alabama and Jackson State
and you see what's going on.
It's like, I can't turn down $2 million in NIL
to come to Jackson State, fam.
Like, I can't do it.
You know what I mean?
So it's just around what they're around.
I get it.
If you grew up in that environment, it's easy for us to say we went to public school.
I seen my cousins.
I seen black people all day, every day.
So my high school girlfriend was black.
You know what I mean?
That's what I was used to.
I'm being around minorities.
So it ain't nothing for me to go to college and be like,
I ain't never seen white people.
When I went to Wake Forest, it was rare for me to see white people like that here.
You know what I mean? We had a couple that went to Pike, but it wasn't like that.
So when I got to Wake Forest, I was almost uncomfortable.
Like, oh, shoot.
Like, I don't want to say nothing too wrong.
So I was even scared to really engage in conversation with them.
But it's different when you grew up going to high school.
That's all you know.
It's going to be easy.
You're going to fit right in.
You're going to put your spurs on.
You're going to go crazy.
Yeah, you're saying too many black people went to White Forest.
I saw the athletes.
But Bronny, I see what you were saying.
That's a different case, though.
They was on Bronny's ass with that prime pick.
Yeah, they like niggas.
Well, who was he supposed to go?
I mean, he could go with some famous girls, though.
Why he go with one with, I don't know, who's got a famous daughter.
But your house is black, black.
Your house is black, bro.
I get to school, you go to, but your crib is black, bro.
Yeah, but you ain't that dude.
Yeah, your mama black, your auntie, your mama friends is black.
Your mama is the fist on the end of the comb, bro.
Yeah, but where I go to school at, when I'm at school,
you know what you do when you're at school.
I know, brother.
You're bothering everything.
And now I'm briny.
I can't even go nowhere outside of school because I'm so famous.
I got to hang out with other people, famous kids.
Yeah.
Under the radar.
Who famous is me?
Tom Brady?
I mean, love who you love, but I don't know, bro.
It's just different.
I think the household plays a big part in that outside of the school.
Yeah.
Maybe in that situation, I agree with you.
But it's also funny.
How we get so many mixed kids in the NBA.
All these AU kids is mixed now.
They be saying all that.
I'm like, well, you know, they are.
Well,
there's a lot of
faculty to that.
All these famous athletes
went to these.
Well, before
C.R. King had options.
Yeah.
There's 50% white people.
There's 32%
black people.
13% Asian.
So how you know
them black ones
is probably
let's keep it real.
They probably super smart
they probably
nothing
yeah
they probably
nothing
nah
you probably
ain't they vibe
the nerd
like
I don't know
bro I just feel like
32% is a lot of
black people
at this school
it is
but you gotta think they got for OTE that's why they put it in the weather the black the black girls 32% is a lot of black people at this school. It is. But you got to think,
they got for OTE.
That's why they put in
no matter.
The black girls,
like usually,
this is like no shade
to black girls,
but they be locked in
when they go to prep schools.
Like they there,
like they be damn near
top of the class.
Okay, so what's another reason
why a brother dates
a white woman in college, though?
Because they take care of them.
That's what Dr. Umar said.
But they do look out, though.
When I was at Wake Forest, bro, they did look out.
Shout out to Rick Fox.
And what's crazy, though, and I'm saying it like they used to be like,
they weren't even trying to holler at us.
They used to be like, y'all need something? Like, knock on the door. Like, we about to go to the grocery store. Y'all need something? I'm saying it like they used to be like, they weren't even trying to holler at us. They used to be like, y'all need something?
Like knock on the door.
Like we about to go to the grocery store.
Y'all need something?
I'm like, yeah, actually I do.
Can you get this?
I'll write a list.
It's $800 worth of shit.
Okay.
They walk in.
They get in they Hummers and go get it.
The black girls damn near hate it that I play basketball.
Like you think you're the shit?
So she wouldn't ask you.
Fatima wouldn't ask you.
Hell no.
They was Demner like,
nigga, she was like, I'm trying to graduate.
I don't give a damn about you.
Yeah, like, Demner was like more like y'all the dumb jocks.
Like, you know what I mean?
They wasn't really supporting the basketball team like that.
They didn't really care about that shit.
They was there for a reason.
And I respected that, though.
I'm like, if you go to a,
man, when you go to a...
Man, when you go to the games and you see the alumni, you don't really...
Unless it's like HBCU, you'll see
the black people representing
their school. Where you go? If you went to
Auburn,
you don't really see no niggas out there
at the fucking
barbecue.
There don't be too many black people there.
I don't even want to say
really represent their school
be like the retired football players
and shit like that.
Yeah,
those PWIs,
it's a different situation.
Even a small instance,
shit,
that Butler boy,
we should count the black people
at Butler.
All right,
y'all got a point.
What I feel like
if you at a school
and it's a black school near
and you come from a black family, go, go, go get one of them young ladies, bro, from an A&T or something, bro.
It's hard to venture out, though.
Because you're not programmed to date a white woman.
There's nothing wrong.
My family is mixed up, but there's nothing wrong with stepping off the campus and tapping in.
You got to think about it.
Because motherfucking Ashley probably down the street
with that same $800
as Sandy got.
Nah, hell nah.

We don't got $800 to give to somebody or to pop paint.
But I'm saying, though, all right, I fucked the $800.
So Sandy give you $800 worth of snacks.
But Fatima and them down the street making fried chicken, macaroni, yams.
Yeah, I fuck with that.
I'm pulling up. But you also got to think, when you go outside of campus, making fried chicken, macaroni, yams. Yeah, I fuck with that. I'm pulling up.
But you also got to think when you go outside of campus, you got to venture off and figure it out.
A lot of these kids are going to college for one year, two years, football players, three at max, sheltered.
Yeah, they don't really, they've been sheltered their whole time.
You got to be on campus.
You got to practice this and this.
You just going to be close to what you close to.
Like when we was at Wake Forest, I ventured out just because
I was with a dude
that was from the city.
And he like,
nah, we got to go over there.
It'd be lit over there.
And I'm like, okay.
But nobody else on my team
ventured out.
Like, the rest of the team,
they had dated white girls.
Like, what you want?
I'm like, oh, okay.
I'm going to venture out.
It got so bad,
I had my high school girlfriend come to wait for us
because I can't do it.
You know what I mean?
So it's just like, it's what you around.
I mean, Shelvin, they went to, you know, Butler, predominantly white.
And it was all white.
I was going to say, well, no, they're predominant.
You know what I mean?
But I'm just saying, like, you kind of like what you like, though.
I'm saying he found...
His wife went to Butler, right?
Yeah.
So, I mean, he found the one black girl on campus
and locked in.
He locked in with Seema.
That was me.
There she goes.
And every other nigga was hollering at her.
And Candace was a senior.
He was a freshman.
Every nigga on the campus tried to holler at this same black girl.
I'm just saying, bro.
To me, I just feel like, I don't know, bro.
You got Summer.
Like, you don't have to just.
But the whole point of the conversation.
Even our age, though.
Like, NIL is brand new.
When we was growing up, I feel like, like you said, y'all had to stay, you know, within range of the white women.
Cool.
But it was niggas that probably went across the street, bro, and tapped in.
I'm not saying there's an exception to every rule.
I'm saying majority of the people stayed close to campus.
Like, I didn't stay on campus.
I mean, I stayed on campus, but I ventured out.
I went to North Carolina A&T, Central.
I went to Winston-Salem State.
I went to all them schools.
So, I seen. White women see the potential. I went to Winston-Salem State. I went to all them schools. So, I've seen.
White women see the potential.
I ain't saying that.
I'm just saying, like.
That's what Dr. Umar said.
They could.
I don't know.
I don't care.
I mean, I just think they were,
they were, like,
they were in college having fun.
Like, Mike, funny as hell.
They was in college having fun.
I think when black people, when we go to school, if it's not an HBCU, I think we take the fun out of school.
We like be so serious and locked in.
Like, what are we doing?
Like, I ain't here to be fucking helping around with you.
I don't care about the football game.
Did you hear that list Mike just said, bro?
How many, how down we are right now?
Like, we locked in.
Yeah, we might be here on financial scholarship,
might be here for my grades, but I got to stay locked in.
The point y'all raised earlier, all right, flip side of this,
y'all parents, if y'all daughters are down in college
taking care of a football player and she's supposed to get her education,
you're pissed.
Hell no, you ain't supposed to be taking care of no nigga right now.
That's a fact.
See the vibes.
Let's look.
See the vibes. Let my look. See the vibes.
My daughter had a daughter.
I go to school and she...
Well, dad,
can you send me 500 hours for what?
Well, I wanted to take
John out.
John?
Fucking John.
He plays on the football team.
Oh, fuck him.
He must be sad
because he ain't got no NIL.
Fuck him.
That's brand new though, bro.
I'm just saying, bro.
That did... I'm like.
But Cindy dad like,
oh, he's our starting left tackle.
I got you, need a thousand?
And that's where shit get dicey.
Bro, that's why I'm shitty
how they get that real college experience.
Nah, it ain't even that.
It's just like,
like think about it.
I don't know if you can look up the list, bro,
but people who was paying
for their kids to go to school.
Yeah.
You remember that year they had that scandal where people was paying $100 was paying for their kids to go to school. You remember that year they had that scandal
where people was paying $100,000
for their kids to go to certain schools
and shit? I bet you
don't see no niggas out there.
Probably rarely.
We just trying to make sure we get through there without being
super in debt. Black people don't want to pay for their kids to school.
I'm just saying, why are you there?
Look here.
If I went to Alabama and I don't know how close Alabama A&M is,
it's probably farther than a bitch.
But I am going to make my way to BET weekend.
I'm going to find me a shorty.
You're going to lock in.
I'm locking in, bro.
I feel you.
I'm not saying anything.
Everybody that goes to school ain't poor.
I'm not defending why you wouldn't do it or why they wouldn't.
I'm just telling you how this happened.
And then people wonder, like, oh, you know, people always like black people.
Athletes be dating outside of their race all the time.
And it's like, well, y'all want them to.
Yeah, I'll say they some hoe ass niggas if they just start leaving them, right?
Like if the shoe's on the other foot.
I've been dating her since I was a junior in high school.
Now I'm making it to the league and it's like nah i don't fuck with her no more
he would be shitty like we'd be fucked up now if he dated a black girl his life
and the district then we got to the crib i feel you. So long. You date a black girl
all through, not you, just in general.
Yeah. And then you just
come home with a white woman.
Record scratch.
It's kind of like...
For me,
because my wife is not...
She's a minority, but she's not black.
Yeah, I dated all types of races.
So don't worry about me.
I don't fit this description.
Anybody can.
Yeah, you Lamar Odom.
You got an all around name.
Wait, Lamar?
I didn't do crack.
You got an all the court, bro.
Shoe past you.
I'm just saying.
Now we just talk about this morning. You got all the court, bro. Shoot past your... I'm just saying, like... Defend...
No, we just talking about this morning
because I don't know how we got started
on that this morning, but...
That was a funny conversation.
It was an interesting topic.
I think it was because somebody
was talking about Saquon, right?
Yeah.
I mean, they who you love,
but I'm just saying,
and like I said, for real,
love who you love.
We really don't give a fuck.
No.
I just don't think you have to be,
oh my God, I go to Florida and it's nothing but bunnies my old nigga yeah you i mean you got it's it's probably black
women on that real players prosper bro you damn but i'm just saying like yeah for some of them
it's like when you go ahead for some of the more shelter people i understand what you're saying
it's just like they they removed from that stuff
but from other
regular people bro
you gonna find what you like
regardless of what it is
so if that's what you like
you gonna find that shit
I put it like this
an Instagram girl
most likely
she only gonna date
famous or
people with money
okay
cause that's the only people
that's gonna approach her
okay
like right
so if you at campus
that's just what
that's what you around that's what you gonna. That's what you're going to see.
That's your algorithm. That's your algorithm.
Like, I told you, I never, like, I remember I got the white forest. I'd never really seen white girls at Pike. We didn't see them.
Yeah.
You know what I mean? So when I got to school and these dudes was describing me, like, she's bad. I'm like, my nigga, like, she bad?
They like, yeah. I'm like, for real? But then I started getting around it for a year. I'm like, my nigga, like, she bad? They like, yeah. I'm like, for real?
But then I start getting around it for a year.
I'm like, she damn near decent.
After a while, like, she cool.
You know what I mean?
Like, yo.
Get out.
Yeah, you start.
I don't know, y'all.
I don't know.
I'm telling you.
I feel like if I like steak and I go to a school.
It's quiet for me.
That is a vegetarian school.
I'm going to be a vegetarian while I'm at the school.
I'm going to eat the food that's at the school.
That's what I'm saying. I like steak.
So I don't get my steak after
school. I'm not saying not.
They seem to stay vegetarian.
Because that vegetarian shit.
He said that's
third-file free.
You're going to let me drive
the Hummer?
I ain't had that motherfucker.
I am driving the Saturn.
She drove from Mississippi to LA.
I am driving the Saturn.
I am driving the Saturn.
They don't even make them cars anymore.
That's so crazy.
I need that fat ass.
I need that good meal.
I need just that Hummer.
I want to go.
Listen, when niggas is on break for college, you go to your girl's family.
If y'all really locked in, bro, I love white people.
I got white people in my family, swear to God.
But I want to go kick it with Uncle Em.
But what about they going to the Hamptons and you going back to the block?
I'm going to. It's like, yeah, we got a $10 million house in the mansions the block. I'm going to.
It was like, yeah, we got a $10 million house
in the mansions that we wanted to invite you to.
And you like, or you go back to the block.
Things be like.
Well, in college.
Yeah, and Tom Brady might be up there.
Well, I'm saying though,
well, in college, I don't know what I really
want to be in life.
I'm a double major.
Nah, I'm talking shit.
But then it do.
It's just like.
Double baser is funny as fuck.
That's why I never fought
like when girls,
like Instagram girls
and all that shit
because that's what
will go after you.
I'm just thinking
in the future though,
like lock in,
like I said,
whatever.
But I got you.
While I'm in college, bro,
I am pulling up with the gang, bro.
I think it might be different now, because now people got
NIL. You can damn near... Oh, for sure
now. You see, like, Travis Hunter had his girl
living with him from high school. Like,
you can bring people along. Like, you can
do other shit. They're 100,000, they're
a zimmer millionaires. They can import, export
a million. Yeah, like, they got, they vibes is
all different now. So, it probably be less of that
now. If I get NIL, I don't think I'm bringing the high school short of the college. I'm just, they got, they vibes is all different now, so it probably be less of that now. If I get in, I don't think I'm bringing
the high school shorty to college. I'm just, now I'm
saying they could DM. I mean,
they say he was DMing shorty.
Whatever. Now you can pull up with Instagram
girls, whatever you want to do now. That'd be
crazy. Ain't nobody do that shit. What?
Ain't nobody had Bernice Burgos on campus
with them yet. They at least, they do
that.
That's the new vibe.
Where you young boys? Now listen, if they kill Dre with them yet. They at least, they do that. Hey, that's the new vibe. Hey,
what are you young boys?
What are you young boys?
Hey.
Now listen,
if they kill Dre after doing Dre,
and we see Bernie's burgos
at what,
Colorado next year?
Hey,
I'm telling you.
Push the button, bro.
He elite,
whoever he is.
Now that's fire.
I'm vibing.
Booking info
just to be solid.
I'm booking you
to be my supporter as far.
That's hard.
Giving an 18-year-old a million dollars, bro.
Come on, man.
What it does to an 18-year-old
once he gets to the NBA, so.
Respect.
For sure.
Did y'all see the young lady

But I got a right to roast you.
I got a right to roast you if you put the camera on me.
Yeah, but outside of Big Dank,
I'm going to give you a show. Outside of Big Dank,
y'all can't discriminate against
people's weight when they get in your car and they
order your car to pull up.
Yeah, but if I really feel like
you can't fit in my car, I ain't about to be
moving. I have to know what kind of car this
nigga pulled up in. He probably had a
car. It was a sedan.
Oh, damn.
She can get in a sedan,
bro.
The nigga said his tire was tired.
400 pound life, whatever that shit

Yeah.
When they go to their doctor's appointment, bro,

Yeah.
They never will, bro.
That shit ain't cool, man.
That's crazy.
I want to ask, how y'all felt about Mack McLung?
Him being a rising star again for like the eighth year.
Is that fair?
Or are you just relying upon him right now?
He's a quote-unquote rising star again.
He's doing a dunk contest, but he's a rising star again.
Like year four?
This is maybe his second or third dunk contest.
No way he's playing in that game.
He's not playing in that game, but he's in the contest.
I was about to say, there's no way he's playing in that game.
He's a rising star.
He was going to be in the rookies.
He not?
No.
He's in the dunk contest.
I'm like, the dunk contest. Oh, I thought that was him
in the Rising Stars game.
I'm like, you know.
The dunk contest is so trash,
they need to let the YouTubers do it.
Why?
Why are we relying upon
Mack McClellan to save
All-Star Weekend
in the dunk contest, bro?
Because he really be
putting on a show, bro.
He defending champ, though.
I'm not even mad at him
because he taking advantage
of my opportunity.
Turn up.
His name is Mack, Amy.
Mack McClellan.
Yeah, I fuck with Mack.
He got signed off that, too.
He did. Yeah, Philly. He actually can hoop, though. Yeah. I ain't gonna lie to y' Mack McCall. Yeah. He got signed off that too. He did.
Yeah, Philly.
He actually can hoop though.
Yeah.
I ain't going to lie to y'all.
Yeah.
I think he's one of Lando's
affiliate right now too.
He was at Georgetown
doing his thing.
But nah,
I hate the dunk contest.
I don't watch that at all.
I hate how bad
they rule All-Star weekend.
Yeah, it's not.
But shout out to Mack, man.
Keep getting that check.
I know he probably get like 50, 60,000 for that. Yeah, run it up. I ain't shout out to Mac, man. Keep getting that check. I know he probably get
like 50, 60,000 for that.
Yeah, run it up.
I ain't mad.
Nobody's gonna be mad.
Maybe more than that
winning dunk contests.
I don't even know how much it is.
But them saying he was playing
in that game is out of pocket.
Nah, yeah, that's...
That's very out of pocket.
It runs in the store, bro.
It's my fifth year
in the NBA, bro.
It's wild.
100,000 when he win.
Oh, yeah.
He need that.
All right, here.
Run it up.
I wanted it like that
for the all categories.
Yeah, that's why
the all-star game be weak.
It ain't enough money.
People don't care.
You see how they play
in that in-season tournament.
Yeah.
But I just think, man,
go back to the 90s, bro.
Go back to the early 2000s, man.
It wasn't about that, man.
But the intensity
of just people wanting to play?
Yeah, bro.
I told you,
I'll miss Kobe for that bro
real
but who
who you think
would set the tone
for that now
cause I don't know
young guys bro
Ed, Ja
Jason's fate on
who was the last
superstar that
participated
excuse me
nobody
superstar
pardon me last
Dwight Howard
who after him
yeah probably
Dwight Howard
the last superstar
the last
really really good dunk contest was Zach Levine, Aaron Gordon.
Yeah, that was the best.
But a superstar, probably Dwight Howard.
I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The wife was a superstar at that time. We'll be right back. He was him, though. He wasn't a superstar. I'm not saying he was a big... But he was... Like, when Dwight did it, Dwight was, like, the best in the league center.
Like, all-star vote.
And Blake Griffin
was doing that shit, bro.
He was the premier PF
in the league.
Yeah, I guess we was excited.
I mean, no,
shout out to Dwight.
He was the biggest superstar.
Off the A, I agree.
Yeah, he was, like,
number one in all-star votes
and shit like that.
Oh, yeah, he was the biggest.
But people was definitely
excited to see Blake.
Oh, yeah, we was.
Because we knew he was a star.
Like, we knew he had crazy bounce.
We knew all that shit.
But, and I ain't going to lie, his dunk contest was kind of shaky, too.
Yeah, that jump off the key is a little iffy, but we're going to respect it because it's Blake.
Yeah.
But, whatever.
Oh, yeah.
I don't remember no other.
This is Zach Levine's situation.
I ain't.
They start putting young guys in it, though.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't mind who's in it just as long as they do it.
Like, well,'d just be like,
you get an opportunity, it'd just be lackluster.
Donovan Mitchell in 2008.
He was a young guy.
Yeah.
I don't remember what he did.
Team dunk contest shit, I was done
with that. We still gonna watch it every year
because it is what it is.
I think, who won it though? You know, Dane Lillard?
Yeah, it was some weird ass team.
But I don't know, man.
That's terrible.
All-Star weekend used to be like
something we looked forward to.
Now it's just like,
all right, let's get through this
so we can get to the rest of the season.
Pretty much.
That's terrible.
I see a boy trying to make the
quarters go to 10 minutes now.
Adam Silver.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Could be with the rest of the world.
Y'all think that's trash?
Yeah, I like the NBA.
I feel like that made the NBA so different.
Like, that was the difference between college and the NBA.
Like, you played 12-minute quarters.
The game was longer.
Mm-hmm.
Like, it just felt different.
Now, if you go 10-minute quarters, I feel like college basketball, 20-minute half. It's the same thing. Yeah, it just wasn't. It made the felt different. Now if you go 10-minute quarters, I feel like college basketball,
20-minute half.
It's the same thing.
Yeah, it just wasn't.
It made the NBA different.
Yeah, it's like he's trying to cut corners. He's like, yeah, I don't want to get back any of this broadcast money,
but I'm going to find a way to try to make y'all play less.
So, yeah, I'm going to just save two minutes off each quarter.
A-time, X amount of minutes you're not playing now.
It's like, okay, well, if y'all wasn't so greedy and they had a smaller season,
then you wouldn't have to have this problem about the
lackluster quote-unquote ratings.
So y'all would pick less games over
less minutes? Yes.
Ideally. I want everybody
to get that money.
I don't want to take no money from a consumer
standpoint. If you're telling me I'm
going to get 82 games of maybe
40 for real ones, alright, make this shit 60.
But again, the money behind it, I know
it's never going to happen. I understand why, but
I'd rather have less games. It means they're more meaningful.
So it means it's going to be working.
Competitive, yeah.
82, you know you're going to slack off.
By the time you're sad, your team's sad
for the next three or four months,
then you're in the offseason. Yeah, they fucking with the NBA
way too much, bro.
Too many changes, bro.
Leave that shit the OG way.
There are things that they could do to improve it. I don't think that
anybody was complaining about how long the game was.
Y'all think it's time to release that high school
rule? Yeah, you gotta let
these kids go out of high school. Bring the energy back.
That's what's messing up the league.
Like, you getting guys
they don't, it's
messing up college too. Nobody cares to go to college
For one year
I mean they getting money
But
Yeah
I'ma be
I'ma just go to the highest bidder
Like dude
BYU
Like
Come on
Man but
BYU gonna be lit for one year
He probably gonna struggle
Cause he gonna get double teamed
All this shit
It ain't gonna be looking
How it's supposed to look
It ain't gonna mess up his draft stock
because he's just way too popular of a player
right now. But it could potentially hurt
him. Like Rutgers are
sad. They just so good
like potentially they could be really good. Both
of them players.
It ain't fucking with their draft stock.
But it's some guys that
probably thought they were going to be one and done
and then went to college and it fucked them up.
And that one turned out to be four.
Like a bunch of them Arkansas kids.
Woo.
You right, bro.
Some of them would have went out of high school.
DJ Wagner out of high school.
Top five pick.
He not going to get drafted.
That's crazy.
So some of them rules, they hurt people
because college ain't the NBA.
It's a totally different game. Some of them players
are going to be way better in the NBA than they are in college.
Like A.J.
DeBensa, whatever, I'm telling you, he's going to be better
in the NBA because of style of play.
You get the ISO.
You can't sit in the lane. You can't do that.
You don't really double team in the NBA.
So you think you're going to see a lot of that in college?
Yeah.
That's why Ace Bailey look like that sometimes.
We be like, he cold.
But it's like, you start seeing chink in the arm.
You be like, well, he can't do this.
Well, that don't look that good.
You start criticizing shit that you didn't see because in AAU,
everybody play man to man.
High school, you got dudes.
He went to a public high school.
They good, but you got dudes that ain't about to go play basketball.
You got football players playing.
You got soccer players on the team.
So the competition obviously is a little down.
But AAU ain't nobody trapping, double-teaming him.
He look crazy.
Like you said said getting drafted
he going to somewhere
they gonna develop him
and they's gonna figure out
they got now
you just getting criticized
every week
cause now you supposed
to be hot shit
you supposed to be
out here averaging 30
you supposed to be
winning games
that's an unreal
expectation for a kid
to have in college
cause college is more
about the coaching
than it is the player
yeah and you got
24, 25 year olds
playing
that been in college
for 6 years strong as an ox and you your 24, 25-year-olds playing. They've been in college for six years, strong as an ox.
And your first year, you ain't really play against no men.
These grown-ass men.
And then you're supposed to come and kill and save it.
If you went to the league, you'd be playing grown man,
but you get to develop.
Your whole day is based off of basketball.
Everything you do, you wake up in the morning to lift weights,
and as you train, you learn to develop into an NBA player, basketball player, everything you do, you wake up in the morning to lift weights, you train, and you learn to develop
into an NBA player,
basketball player,
but you got time.
Nobody expects a rookie
to come take over the league.
Only Bron had them
kind of expectations,
and he only averaged
25 and 5.
And I shouldn't say only
because I'm a great numbers,
but we ain't expect
that much from Bron.
Like,
we thought he was
going to be good.
He did what he was
supposed to,
but by year two and three,
we like,
all right,
it's time.
You know what I mean?
College.
Shit. They expect him to be the guy.
Lead us to a championship.
And that ain't just, that ain't gonna happen.
So if you can go to Miami and be the man or go to
Kentucky with four other
dogs, what are you gonna do?
It depends who gave me
the most money.
Like, while I go to Kentucky
and I only got a million dollars, but Miami want to give me
eight million dollars. Shit, if I'm going to be a number
one pick anyway, I'm going to go with the money.
What if you only
get a million from both?
Well. You want to win
a championship or you want to average 30?
Shit, if I'm trying to get to a league the league I gotta get the FGJs up
you're right
you're already the top three player in the country
like if I'm like a boozer twin
I'm the number one player in the country
I'm gonna do
like
I'm gonna go to a system
that's gonna make me look good
I'm gonna play with some other
quality players
I'm on TV every week
I'm on TV
and the pressure ain't all on me
but
it's gonna be on me because everybody want to see me.
But I know I got some other McDonald's guys and some talented players around
me.
That's going to make it a little easier.
Yeah.
I'll probably go that route.
But AJ,
7 million,
BYU.
Everybody know like,
it's going to be rough for him over there,
but he got paid.
Turn up. You got an excuse excuse look who i'm playing with what about if he was a quarterback what you mean i'm going where all the money at nigga this isn't simple same money though
football different i'm going to ohio state i'm going to ohio state so you want to win
a championship in college football yeah because I got to stay three years anyway.
That's fair.
Okay.
Yeah, football, you got to get that money because, you know, that's different.
You would hit away from not playing no more.
I'm just saying the money is the same.
Yeah, I'm going to go to Ohio State, though.
Know your yards, your everything.
Whatever position you play, you're going to be the best at.
Yeah, I'm going to go to Ohio State.
I'm going to go be on TV every day, play with the best players.
Why not?
Speaking of college, do we feel like it's coming to the end for Calipari?
Yeah, he done.
And I love Coach Cal, but it's just what he had,
his formula was meant for kids to go out of high school, right?
Mm-hmm. And he was the guy that could get when they put the one and done rule in,
when it wasn't all this portal shit.
He had the blueprint.
I'm going to recruit you the best.
I got Kentucky behind me, so when you leave, I can pay you when you leave.
Like, you at Kentucky, I can get you to do a signing for $100,000
as soon as you enter your name in the draft.
So I can't pay you when you get here.
But when you leave, I got you.
It held weight back then.
Now it don't hold no weight.
Damn.
Like Coach Cal, I got five mil for you.
All right.
BYU, I got seven mil.
But you can play for me.
Man, fuck you.
Yeah, coaches don't have no pool no more.
It's all about the money.
I hear Rick Barnes.
He said, we pay you to do this, right?
That's how they feeling now.
But I do say that's a downside, too,
because if you go somewhere you don't kill,
coach can sit you down and fuck up your money.
Yeah, and that's what Coach Cal will do.
Like, shit, so I'm going to go somewhere like AJ
where you can't afford to sit me down.
Yeah, I'm forcing your hand.
I wish you would sit me.
Alumni will kill you.
Damn.
We pay AJ to play.
They'll fire the coach at BYU if he didn't play him.
Arkansas.
Coach Cal?
Yeah, when you give one person $7 million, that's a...
Yeah.
That's a rare case, though, bro.
At Arkansas, Coach Cal can be like, he wasn't worth it.
Like, he played...
You know what I mean?
He's a school.
I mean, not literally, but...
Nah, damn near, though.
Yeah, like, people know Coach Cal
for Kentucky and Arkansas now.
I think that's a good idea, though.
AJ, you can't.
AJ is on the Hornets.
You can't do that.
But Coach Cal, for sure, bro.
I think that's going to help the kids, though.
Play harder.
Yeah, I mean...
There's way more kids making that type of money
than AJ and the band, so...
Yeah. And they deserve it. The outright type of money than AJ and the band. Yeah.
And they deserve it.
The outright part, too.
I know the crazy part is you look at some of these alumni bases.
Back when they was paying them under the table, they'd be like, man, he sucks.
We do X, Y, and Z for him.
Now they putting dollars on that.
We pay him $2 million.
Is this how he pay?
That shit is wicked.
I wouldn't give a fuck, though.
They professionals now.
The only thing bad about that
is they don't got like
contracts like
I mean some of them might
but they don't got contracts
like the league
like
you signed a two year deal
so you gonna get
a million this year
and a million next year
I think some football players
got it like that
but basketball
is like a one year contract
so you got
one million this year
or whatever it is
300,000.
Next year, your ass might be
down
a 40,000
at IUPUI.
It's like, damn.
Hey, listen.
I know they ain't got NIO.
Hell nah.
They ain't giving out fruit cups over there for the players to pull up.
Remember they had the
pull up trials the year before last
cause I have you active student pull up
yeah I'm good
they wasn't
who didn't get no fucking scholarship
who was we saying
they wasn't offering Rasheed or nobody no scholarship
yeah they wasn't offering nobody from that team
all these niggas is hooping
getting 300,000.
They whole starting five could have played IEPY that next year.
Damn, what?
It's crazy.
Give us some IEPY, man.
I know they on the new routine.
We ain't going to put no smut on them.
But the old routine.
Yeah, boy.
The open tryouts is crazy work.
That was bugging.
Damn, man.
Give us some.
What else going on in the world?
I wanted to ask you
you brought up
a point earlier
in the conversation
you were talking about
like the regime
just from people
who don't understand
what's your average day
like as a NBA player
like what's your
day to day like
not a game day
or actually
we'll start with a game day
or a break day
you gotta shoot around
so usually if you
you at home you'll shoot around like 10 o'clock
on the road i think it was like 11 something like that i can't remember exactly so you gotta
shoot around usually eat breakfast after shoot around probably take a nap get the bus about 350
get to the gym do your shooting chill for a little bit, play the game. After the game, get something to eat, do whatever you
want to do. That's usually a
day in the life on a game day.
Off day, you usually got practice
like at 11. Not a
game day, just a regular day. You got practice
at 11. 11
and 2, you probably at the gym. 2.30,
getting your work in,
lift weights, get some shots up, whatever.
After that, your day is free.
So this is where the trouble come about for NBA players.
You got a lot of free time.
So when you young guys always tell them,
oh, you should go back to the gym later that night.
Probably come back in around seven,
get some more shots up, put some work in,
call a coach, whatever it is.
You got some of your guys in town.
Have them rebound for you.
Just keep staying in the gym.
That's what I did my first two, three years.
Some guys, you get to go home and play the game all day.
You get to call on the girls.
Don't say you got three days in a row, you just got practice.
That's when you go out to the club,
where you might have a little party at your crib.
Don't let it be like the Super Bowl weekend or something.
That's when shit starts getting vicious
because it's so much free time.
And you don't got nothing to do.
You got all this money
and you got free time.
It can get wicked.
I can see how Zion...
A lot of habits start to form.
I can see how he gets out of shape.
Yeah, a lot of habits start to form, man.
And Zion on the max deal, too.
You ain't got nothing.
You ain't used to really
getting booty like that.
And that big old double N
walking that motherfucker.
We ain't got a game
until Friday, bitch.
It's Tuesday.
A lot of habits
start to form, man.
You start seeing dudes
doing stuff that...
That's why a lot of guys
get out of the league fast.
Yeah. Because it's a lot of free get out of the league fast. Yeah.
Because it's a lot of free time. If you ain't dedicated
to the game or you ain't locked in
it could get spooky fast.
There's so much shit for y'all to learn too. That's a different
game.
It's so easy just to do
shit, bro.
It's crazy. It's just too much time.
And then you got to think when you you're 19, a lot of dudes,
they go from living with their mama to a college dorm.
Yeah.
And then you get a million dollars, now you're living by yourself.
That freedom different.
Like, college freedom, you got freedom with your coach and them.
Your advisors and them still can tell on you.
Yeah, you still got a routine. Yeah, you know, you got to go to class and shit. Your advisors and them still can tell on you. Yeah, you still got a routine.
Yeah, you know, you got to go to class and shit.
You miss class, you get told on.
You got to run a team, got to run, all type of weird shit.
NBA, ain't no advisors.
Yeah, and most of the time, your family's just happy you got some money now.
Yeah, NBA is.
You don't really give a fuck.
NBA, you just got to make it to practice on time.
As long as you make it on time you smooth
after that they don't give a fuck what you do
you can
go gamble
drink all night just don't be late
NFL they got curfew on Saturdays
nah we no curfews
game day whatever
you boys used to come in
man
let's say you play in New York.
New York,
everybody like to go out in New York.
Boys would be coming in
seven in the morning.
Walking to,
they clothes on.
Regular clothes on,
walking to Starbucks.
The bus for shoot around
probably nine o'clock or something.
It used to be earlier in New York because we used to go to the garden
sometimes. So it'd be hella early.
Boys would just wear their
clothes till the train. Hey,
get my loop off the door.
Just bring it to
niggas be in hoe outfits on the
bus like.
Get to the gym, take their shit off.
Do shoot around. Come back home, go
to sleep, play the game.
Don't nobody say nothing.
Niggas be smelling like a fifth.
Nobody care.
Niggas will go home and nap.
Yeah, bro. They come back.
Long as you did your job, nobody care.
I used to see niggas just wait.
Like, bro, when I was a rookie, Joe and them used to have, like, we would land in L.A.
They had car services outside, like, on the tarmac.
Or, like, when you went through the gate, it'd be a bunch of black cars, SUVs outside the gate,
ready to pick you up and go to the club.
They don't even hit the hotel.
They go straight here, like, drop my bags off.
I've been a part of that.
I'm going to drop my bag off, nigga.
Nah, that's a vibe.
That's the player thing about being in the NBA.
The NFL is strict, bro.
I was definitely drop my bag off, nigga.
I remember, I might be telling too much, but fuck it.
Me and PJ one time time we was in milwaukee we got to houston we got there about 10 30 at night right we lean
like 10 30 he like t we up and down or we just going straight from the airport i'm like let's
go up and down let me change my clothes clothes. He like, man, fuck that.
Watch what I do.
He has a brand new Porsche pickup.
Pick us up on the tarmac.
So he get off the plane.
So nasty yellow 911 on the tarmac.
I'm like, it's motherfucking nasty.
Now, mind you, we on a road trip.
He like, come on, T, let's go.
I'm like, I'm going to take you to my shoe house.
I'm like, bet.
I'm like, man, look what I got on.
I don't have on a sweatsuit.
He like, bring your bag.
So imagine me. I got a, man, look what I got on. I don't have on a sweatsuit. He like, bring your bag. So imagine me.
I got a big ass luggage.
The 9-11 Trump.
He put his shit in.
Nigga, I'm in the front seat.
Niggas was texting me like, you thirsty as fuck.
I was thirsty.
I've been in front of that motherfucker 9-11 with a luggage like this.
Thirsty as hell.
He like, man, don't worry about that shit, man. We ended up having a good time, but it was thirsty as I've been in front of that motherfucker now living in luggage like this. Thirsty as hell. He like, man,
don't worry about that shit, man.
We ended up having a good time,
but it was thirsty as fuck, though.
Damn, bro.
See, when we touch down,
we outside.
Oh, what?
Nigga, up and down rules.
Shout out to all my old heads.
I couldn't imagine doing that shit, bro.
Every night, rookie.
You have to go out every night.
Shout out to all my old heads.
I ain't going to shout them out because they was married probably.
It was probably lying.
It was a different time in life.
Yeah, it was probably lying and shit.
That's the
issue though because the people be like, man, like the schedule.
I'm like, yeah, schedules don't be
as rigorous as some people think. They have another
vibe, but y'all pressure to perform is so crazy
that it bounces out way more.
Now the pressure to perform is tough now.
Like, you are getting paid off of your performance.
So, it's cool to have all this money.
I know people always be like, oh, I hate when you complain.
Like, I'm like, it's cool to have all this money and make this money.
And people will say, save your money and all this, blah, blah, blah.
But the average NBA career is four years right so in four
years you say you made say you made a million dollars a year after taxes let's say you took
home 200 2 million after your four years you got 2 million you got a head start right cool that's
2 million if you never did nothing else in life you never learned shit let's just say you want a nigga's went to school for one year you ain't get a degree life, you never learned shit. Let's just say you one of them niggas
went to school for one year.
You ain't get a degree.
You ain't never learned shit.
You been babied your whole life
or whatever it is.
Niggas didn't took care of you.
You went to Alabama.
The white girl gave you money.
All this shit your whole life, right?
And you didn't save up $2 million.
Now your basketball career is shot.
Now you might go overseas for $25,000 for a year,
like a couple months.
You just doing this.
You try to invest that $2 million.
You still got to live.
So now you got to find a place to stay.
Say you spend, I don't know, $200,000 on a crib,
$800,000, $180,000, whatever it is.
Now you starting to see that shit chip away.
You still got to pay property tax.
Even if you got investments,
you still got to live regular day life. Eventually, you're going to have to get that shit chip away. You still got to pay property tax. Even if you got investments, you still got to live regular day life.
Eventually, you're going to have to get a job, bro.
You're going to have to do some shit else to maintain your life.
This is just like a nest egg of 1.8 million, which is cool.
But if you don't know how to do nothing else, what job are you going to fucking do?
Because a lot of us didn't have degrees.
I don't have a degree.
A lot of us are not qualified to do shit
besides play basketball
or coach basketball
or do some other shit.
So that's where
the trouble happened.
Like, luckily,
I was blessed to make
a certain amount of money
and be able to save shit
where you like,
you ain't really got a,
you know,
with interest,
your interest payments,
you can really take care
of your life for the rest of your life.
But a lot of people
don't get that same opportunity.
So you'll see niggas doing jobs
and shit.
People can't understand like,
why the fuck is this nigga working?
He made all this money
and be like,
nah,
not necessarily.
And the nigga probably
didn't have no more skills
because he probably left college
after one year.
And shit,
if he can't coach it,
only thing else he can do
is play it.
If he can't play it no more and nobody want to do is play it. If he can't play it,
no more.
Nobody want Howard Merritt
as a coach.
He's fucked.
Like you said,
a coach,
even in certain situations,
you have to have a degree
or certain certifications.
Yeah, in college.
Yeah, you need that.
And then that's
the best case scenario.
Yeah.
Because most people
get them checks,
that two that they got,
oh, they done bought a whip,
they done bought a chain,
And I'm saying,
you ain't buy shit.
Like, you ain't do nothing
in four years.
Yeah, that's the best case. Terry Crews, boy, you ain't spend shit. Like, you ain't do nothing in them four years. Yeah, that's the best case.
Terry Crews, boy.
You ain't spend no paper.
A normal nigga?
Yeah, you done bought a chain.
You done bought a car, a house.
Nigga, you might be down to 1.1 to start your life.
And niggas, I know a lot of niggas like,
oh, nigga, 1.1, nigga, I've been good.
You probably thinking that.
I was thinking that same thing.
But when you live that life
your whole life,
it's different.
Like, when you a worker,
you've been working
since you was 16, 17.
Nigga, I've been catered to
since I was 16, 17.
Niggas been giving me shit.
You know what I mean?
I've been walking in the gym.
Get that nigga some shoes.
Get that.
Everybody take care of everything.
I ain't never had to work for shit.
That's all I know is
getting.
I'm I'm I'm Jeff.
Give me this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You want me to play
here.
Give me a hundred.
That's what you've been
your whole life.
You ain't never had to
work.
Nigga.
Ask nigga NBA niggas
how many times I had a
job.
Nigga.
Never.
If you was good.
I don't really got time
to.
Yeah.
