I didn't get a bite from that. So that was your get back. That nigga took it out on us. I don't even know that team. I didn't get a bite from that.
So that was your sophomore year?
When I played Greg Oden, it was my sophomore year.
Sophomore, yeah.
My sophomore, my junior year when I first played Greg Oden.
That's when I first realized what a man was on the basketball court.
He was a monster.
He was different, bro.
All the way up until the NBA.
Before he got into the NBA,
I remember game planning him
when he was in the heat
and him and Joe Pritzbiller.
It's like, nigga,
whenever Greg Oden
catch that motherfucker
on the block, nigga.
Oh, I say nigga too much.
Don't I?
Nah.
I say nigga too much.
Nah, bro.
This is...
Nah, bro.
This is not habitual.
This is not habitual, bro.
Whenever Greg Oden catch that shit on the block, man, it was a is. Nah, bro. We got stuff. We got stuff. We just signed it. Whenever Greg Oden
cuts that shit on the block,
man,
it was a monster.
But,
I'm glad that shit
happened like that.
Yeah.
I don't know how to pause,
by the way,
so y'all go on.
We talking, bro.
We talking about that
how crazy that 07 class is,
especially Indianapolis.
Man,
and you was at the top
of that class.
We always regard that
as like one of the best
high school
league
like that's one of the best
that class don't get no respect
because
all of us didn't
pan out
in the NBA
how we was supposed to
you know what I'm saying
kinda did though
cause
if you look at it like
James
James MVP
D Rose MVP B's talking about like Because if you look at it, like James, MVP, D-Rose, MVP.
But you got to think, B's talking about like Bill Walker.
Had a crazy name.
Bill was crazy.
You know what I mean?
Coming up, Bill was one of the ones.
Look at that class for what we know it for.
Yeah, that makes sense. Um, 18 year old,
19 year old,
a 25 year old.
Couldn't get that same feeling.
Looking at that same list.
You know what I'm saying?
No,
I get what you're saying.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Just cause,
just cause we didn't really,
you know,
it was most of our faults,
you know,
but OJ may all stuff.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Exactly. Right. Mayall yeah exactly exactly right
O.J. was like
he dunked in the 7th grade
nah
we from Indiana
he was living in Kentucky
yeah we all
all about that
that 7th grade mixtape
been waking up on TV
he was the best thing
he was like
O.J. was the best
motherfucker I ever seen
with a basketball
like
I remember
I remember
my first time going out of town, we went to
Memphis, me and KD,
and
we watching. I ain't, like, I ain't know nothing
from nothing. Like, I'm, like, I'm for real
a hood nigga that
just grew when they told me to come to the gym.
You know what I'm saying? So, me and KD first started
playing together. Like,
like, he always studied the game.
Who he was watching, who he, you know what I'm saying? So, I remember the first time studied the game, who he was watching,
who he,
you understand?
So I remember the first time
we in the gym
and he just watching
fucking OJ
and
I'm just,
I'm,
I'm just,
I just didn't want to be there
at the time,
you know what I'm saying?
I remember I just paid attention,
they jump ball.
Wow,
this motherfucker,
man,
that nigga was nice.
Yeah,
he just,
whatever he wanted to do, pull up up left, right, dunk and spin.
Bro, and then he had Bill, nigga.
Killing.
Oh, man.
Crazy teammate, bro.
But, yeah, that 07 class, it was.
Yeah.
I see what you're saying.
Because Johnny Flynn and y'all class.
Johnny Flynn.
Oh, my God, Johnny Flynn.
But I feel like if you make it to the league, I know it's like you're supposed to.
Yeah, like we made it.
Yeah, we made it, bro.
100%.
That's a huge accomplishment.
He said y'all ain't supposed to have that extendo career.
Everybody that was at the top supposed to have that extendo career.
We was supposed to have at least five of us, eight of us still playing right now.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's what that class was.
And it was partly,
like, a lot of us,
a lot of us came up
in the wrong era.
Like, we came up
in an era
to where
it was tight.
Like, when I came
in the league,
stretch four
was Udonis Haslam.
Yeah.
Yeah.
15-footer.
Yeah, facts.
And it's like,
like, we really
needed space to work. You know what I'm saying? We wasn't really on, it wasn't no fast break game. 15 footer yeah and it's like like we really needed
space to work
you know what I'm saying
we wasn't really on
it wasn't no fast break game
it was a half court game
85 point
90 point games
and like
you know what I'm saying
that was 140
130
like you know
he was ahead of your time
for sure
so
a lot of us came up
in the wrong era
and a lot of us didn't have the coach like like it wasn't
a lot of player coaches you know a lot of not player coaches it wasn't not a new school player
no it was old school old school coaches so system you know so like, like, my problem was, my problem, like, the same attitude I had with Spoh my first two years is the same reasons I congratulate him and the same reasons I call him one of the best coaches.
It's because that bubble year, if he didn't let them young guys go, you understand?
Yeah.
But we just came up in that era where, and Spoh was a rookie, he was a rookie coach still listening to Pac-Man.
Yeah. where, and Spoh, Spoh was a rookie, he was a rookie coach still listening to Pac-Man. So, a lot
of us came up in that era to where
it was the coach's way, you know,
and we just wasn't able to,
like, we was one
and done. And at that time, it really meant
something, like, that we was
young, we was 19, we was, you know,
still just
babies. Yeah. Speaking about
coaches, how was it playing for Huggs?
I never played for Huggs.
I mean, not Huggs.
What's your Kansas State coach?
Frank Martin.
Yeah, Frank Martin.
Frank like Huggs, Tom Stanton.
Damn.
Frank kicked.
Man, I remember, I ain't going to say his name because I don't want to embarrass him.
But it was our point guard at the time.
Jacob. Pulling. No point guard at the time. Jacob.
Pulling.
No, I'm just saying.
But I'm thinking.
Damn, y'all had a weird thing.
No, but Jake.
Clint still was our starting point guard.
Jake was coming off the bench for us.
But I remember Christmas.
Christmas, Jake had his family in the stands.
So he was trying to sauce it up and shit.
Yeah.
Frank told him one time, like, man, we ain't doing that dipsy-doo shit, man.
I don't care if you're family or not, man.
It's part of the play.
So he went on 10 minutes later to do some shit again.
But I told you, man, you trying to impress your family.
You got one more time.
20 minutes later, bro.
Thanks, bro.
You know what?
All right.
You want to do this?
You and your fucking mother.
And get the fuck out of my gym.
I'm just going to kick the whole family out.
Nigga, I was sitting there like, damn.
You know what I'm saying? Do that dipsy dude shit in the parking lot.
I was like, God damn. He wild.
Hey, Coach Wild.
I say, yeah, Coach Wild.
What made you pick Kansas State?
Delonta Hill.
Okay.
So when I first
started playing with
DCS Salt,
I didn't get in the game.
Like, at all.
At all.
I was playing my
Jeff Green.
Damn.
You know.
You was playing up
like a motherfucker.
Yeah, I was playing up.
I never played, you know.
Yeah.
But I was playing up,
but I was playing by some,
you know,
That's a notable name, nigga. Dante C you know. Yeah. But I was playing up, but I was playing behind some, you know, That's a notable name, nigga.
Dante Cunningham.
Yeah.
I was playing behind some.
Prospects, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I just watched them niggas the whole summer.
And D-Hill was just on the bench with me, always working out with me,
always getting my exercise and all that.
And I just told him, like, wherever you go to college i'm that's where i'm gonna go
you know just because we built the relationship he he got the job first at unc charlotte and
i ain't gonna lie by the time he got the job i was all i wanted to think about college because
like in like like 18 months later i was number one in the country it was nba yeah so i was i
wanted to think about college but by the time he got the job every i'm talking about my mother used
to hate the letters coming to my house and i used to hate them because the first one i opened first
one i opened i think is billy donovan sent me a letter and that's just saying um joe king noah And that shit said, Joe King Noah averaged like.5 points his freshman year or some shit like that.
And that was the number one pick.
Oh, wow.
And I looked at that letter and I said, I'm not going to college.
Joe King Noah is crazy
you know
I mean he was at Florida
so
Florida
Joe King Noah
ain't really play
his
he ain't play
his freshman year
but
now he the best player
in the country
you think I'm coming in
to not play
man
so
I ain't even want to do
the recruitment thing
so I just
I just
committed to UNC Charlotte which was a low D1 school.
Yeah, I remember that.
That's crazy.
I was like, he getting paid crazy.
Nah, I ain't get paid.
I just ain't want to deal with the.
Yeah, I mean, now.
You understand?
Like, them niggas, you know, the only motherfucker that was real, for real, was Huggs.
Huggs still.
That's why I knew that was your man
that's why I made
my Huggs still a part
of my family to this day
like everybody
you know what I'm saying
like you know
he sent files
my mom funeral
all that type of shit
but like all the rest
of them niggas
was just fake
you know
and I ain't
I just ain't wanna do
that shit
so I
committed there
and I was just gonna
go straight to the league.
But then they changed the rule in 05.
So then I had to really think about it.
And before I can even think about it, Huggs got say to K-State,
so I just went there.
And I just ain't want to, like, it wasn't no, like, picking.
I was really going to go to Memphis because I found out
like when Hugs left
I wasn't going to go to West Virginia
I just knew that
because I'm from D.C.
I'm from West Virginia
you know what I'm saying
so I just knew I wasn't going to go
and I didn't want to be close to home
so when Hugs left
I was going to go to Memphis
because I was just
it was the hoop summit
I was just down there
and it just turned into
an unofficial visit
and you and D. Rose at Memphis. I was just down there, and it just turned into an unofficial visit. And you and D Rose at Memphis?
Yeah.
So I was going to go to Memphis, and I ain't going to lie.
I swear to God, I was committing that night.
But Frank Martin walked in the motherfucking gangster shit.
Sat me down, talked to me in the lobby in front of all the coaches.
Like, I'm like, yeah.
By the time he was leaving, I was like, fuck that, nigga.
I'm trying to go to jail.
He let you rock, too, boy.
What?
Yeah.
You, you, I ain't even saying it because you're here.
Because I always put, like, Mello, my favorite college player ever.
But, like, bro, you was really dynamic, bro.
That shit was Frank.
College, bro.
It was Frank.
I mean, it was me. That was you College bro It was Frank I mean it was me
That was you
Cause I
Like
I do what I do now
Like my favorite quote
The quote I live by is
That what you do most
Is what you do best
Yeah
You know what I'm saying
So
Like I sharpen my shit up
Every day
But
The older I get
The more I realize
It's the coach
It's up to the coach
To put you in position
You know what I'm saying It's up to the coach to put you in position. Yeah.
It's up for the coach to let the players know, like, when you're going to shoot, basically.
Yeah.
If I'm out there and the play's for him and we want to play for him but I see a shot,
I better make that fucking shot.
Yeah.
You got two niggas over there setting it down for you.
You got them, you know what I'm saying?
You got them up on the ball.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So, if I don't make that shot, who we got rebounding? Who we got, you understand?
So Kansas State, man, I got there, Frank,
my first meeting with Frank, he said,
bro, we gonna have practice at three o'clock.
He said, so you wanna do whatever want to do at night, do it.
Sleep in, go to class.
But you stay out my way, I'm gonna stay out your way.
Real.
That's how it went.
You know, he told me what to do on the court, like whether I was rebounding or whether I
wasn't getting no blocks or whether I wasn't scoring.
Every time out, like bro, you ain't doing this, you ain't doing that. And just go out there and do it you know and that's the respect I wanted in the NBA like no
coach like no coach told me what to do you said it's like I'm the best scorer you ever seen but
it's like all you're gonna tell me is play defense like that shit pissed me off at one point like
my fourth fifth year in the league I ain't gonna play no more
to me when I seen you in college because you probably don't remember this, though,
I went to school in Winston.
Y'all played Winston-Salem State.
Oh, we, our dogs, our niggas.
Nah, I didn't go there.
Our dogs.
You dogs, them niggas.
I remember this.
I remember.
You had 40 and 20.
Nah, I remember.
Why though?
Yeah, why? at 20 I remember why though yeah why uh the
the first half
I had like
like maybe like
nine points
yeah
and
going into the half
one of the
one of the players
blocked my shot
and
right
like right before
he passed out
locker room
he's talking about
Beasley
ooh that nigga trash.
And I ain't hear it.
But my coach came in there and was like, you know,
he was like, Brent Underwood, he white, but he ain't white.
You know what I'm saying?
So he came in and told me exactly what he said.
He's like, man, he said, ah, he didn't say the word.
But he said, ah, I got something for the word, but he said, ah, woo, woo, woo.
But I was, all right, I got something for you.
You know, so I just went out there.
And I just didn't like that nigga.
I can't even remember his name, like Jamal or something.
I don't know.
I can't remember his name.
But I remember he said Beasley who, and I was like, all right.
We were at Wake Forest, so when some state game was on, we just watching it.
We all in the locker room, we watching it.
And, you know, it's me, just watching it We all in the locker room We watching it And you know
It's me
James Johnson
We all
Freshman's like him
We like

For real
The reason I was
So good in college
Cause I lived
Through so many ways
Bro he was a monster,
bro.
I worked on my game,
but nigga,
my weight coach,
Scott Greenwald,
bro,
he had me,
like,
my max in college
was like 400.
Like,
smooth shit.
Bro,
you was trying to be
a wrestler,
nigga?
Nah,
like,
he was,
like,
he was,
he used to train
for the world's
strongest man in the world. Ah, he's out of pocket. Bro, if you see him walk, like he he was like he was he used to train for the world's strongest man in war
he's out of pocket bro if you see him walk like he he worked out every day until he earled three
times like the sickest shit you ever see like he don't stop working out every day every day
until he earled three times bro he broke his neck and didn't know it you know i'm saying for a week
like he in there working out one day
so next day we can't put this through the workout and he just got a quick in his neck you know just
walking around all day with a quick but he put us through the workout spotless and all that you know
just got a quickness man before the game he asked our uh trainer to rub it out for him like yo just
see what you mean I'm saying you can rub it out yeah man he Like, yo, just see what you can do. You know what I'm saying? You can rub it out. Man, he go rub this side,
then go rub this side,
then go rub this side.
And he like, bro,
where your collarbone at?
You know, nigga,
broke his collar.
Like, bro, nigga, strong.
You know what I'm saying?
And I'm talking about,
bro, he had, like,
he, like, I think that's
the difference between
a great player and a good player.
That's the difference
between LeBron and Paul Jules.
That's the difference between GianBron and Paul Jules. That's the difference between Giannis and fucking,
I don't want to disrespect nobody, but, you know,
that's the difference between a good seven-footer and Giannis.
You know what I'm saying?
Giannis, I seen Giannis every day.
He going to put 250 on there.
He going to get his hip bridges in.
Young guy.
I seen that.
I vouch for that.
I vouch for that.
Hey,
I'm talking about
he be putting weight
that you ain't supposed
to be lifting
and he going to get
his shit in.
He like,
and just the older I got,
you know,
I think that's why
I'm so good now
because I take it serious.
Like,
I got to the NBA,
I didn't take lifting weights and taking my body as serious as we should.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I agree.
I didn't either.
Like, and now that I see, like, I'm older, like, bro,
if I don't, like, lift right or stretch right, bro, my back be hurting now.
You know what I'm saying?
I feel that.
Like, that's the difference between
what I was doing in college
and what everybody else was doing in college.
We was like, our game
days we had lived.
You know what I'm saying?
This show, you was a double-double
machine.
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.

You think you got the greatest one and done?
You think you the greatest, like that season, you think you had the best one and done? You think you the greatest
Like that season
You think you had the best
One and done season?
Who you think had the best?
KD
Y'all neck and neck
We
We looked it up
I would say outside of Melo
I gotta give it to Melo
We don't count Melo
Yeah
The reason
Like Melo did what he did
Right?
And
This is why
I think
The argument needs to be categorized because mellow had a
great team yeah you know what i'm saying mcnamara magnum or warwick um you know
me and kd like they had a young team they was young though they had a young team and individually
like we was just
out there
giving y'all
you know what I'm saying
like me
with me it wasn't even
a scoring
like you go back
and look at that
yeah I
like I rebounded
more than I scored
you know what I'm saying
most of my
my points came off
offensive rebounds
yeah pullbacks
with
offensive rebounds and facebacks with offensive rebounds
and face-up jump shacks.
You know what I'm saying?
KD?
KD was him.
But he had DJ.
Even still to this day,
I don't think I score that well.
I think I can put the ball...
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me explain.
Let me explain.
We just had a whole
pool of about you.
Let me explain.
Let me explain. Let me explain. Let me explain. Let me explain. You just had a whole pool of about you. Let me explain.
Let me explain.
Let me explain.
I've been being nice now.
I can score a lot.
A lot and well.
You understand?
Different.
We just played.
We had one doing a big three.
He said, I'm staying in front of him.
You said, stay between him and the basket.
No, no, no.
So what happened with that then?
What's your excuse for that?
No, I don't know.
What'd you score on?
Let me get what I'm saying.
Stay between him and the basket.
Make him make tough shots.
He said he hitting every shot.
When I watch me play basketball, I don't think it look cool.
I do.
When I watch KD, I think he look really cool.
You know, one of my favorites, one of my favorites, Jordan Crawford.
When I watch him play basketball, like, that's one of the reasons I be working out like I work out.
Like, how you get your legs to move that way while your body is moving?
He be throwing shit that I be like.
Yeah.
Bruh, if I can do that, bruh.
But you so aggressive, bro, And your wingspan is so long.
And you a lefty.
And it's like you go both ways.
Y'all don't even know why I'm so good.
Y'all don't even know why I'm so good.
That's why we got you here, though.
But I'm saying, though.
Because I pay attention to my footwork.
Footwork.
It's footwork.
It's all about footwork.
But you a three-level scorer, though.
What is that?
But he been scoring.
Middy is crazy.
He's been scoring on a high level since
I just told you.
My game ain't like nothing
pretty to watch. That's why people don't
watch.
I got a smooth
professional game.
I'm going to shoot the jump shot in your face.
One dribble to the counter.
Nah, you lying because I just watched
they just had a video of your Knicks highlights. It was crazy. I'm shouting in your face. One dribble to the counter. One dribble to the... Nah, you lying because I just watched your...
They just had a video
of your Knicks highlights.
And it was crazy.
See, Knicks...
See, look, bro.
Knicks...
Nah, Knicks...
Look, look, bro.
They just had a video of you.
I told you we can't see you, bro.
Let me tell you about that.
Let me tell you about that, see.
So, I started the season
off averaging four points, right?
Like, four minutes. Like, four points, right? Like four minutes,
like four points
in like five minutes.
Tim Hardaway got hurt
and then I was like,
like maybe nine minutes
and I was like,
bro,
I swear,
bro,
I'm going hard in practice
getting my extra shots
and you know,
I went to Kurt Rambers,
one of them,
shout out to Kurt Rambers,
that's like one of the,
like one of the only coaches
that like resonated
with who I am,
right? I went to, I went to him coaches that like resonated with who I am, right?
I went to,
I went to him one game
and I say,
I say,
bro,
what is it,
man?
Like,
like,
and I,
I curse him out.
I say,
bro,
man,
like,
that's your nigga,
bro.
Like,
fuck,
man,
I'm going to beat
both of y'all up.
Like,
you know what I'm saying?
But he know I was,
he know I was,
but he like,
but he's like,
at this point,
bro,
just make,
make him look bad
for not putting you in.
So,
I just remember in New York
I just remember like
I
I'm just
every time I go out there
I'm just gonna throw
my whole bag out there
like
I treat New York
like the summertime
nah
I treat it like
like pick up
the highlights showed that
like
it's one of the highlights
it's like
oh
Beezus coming in
you know
Bucky's like
Wall Frazier
he's like
yep
it's a quick 12
about to come up.
I was like,
damn.
Yeah,
so,
and then,
but it ain't work.
That shit would piss me off.
Like,
bro,
that shit ain't give me
no more minutes.
I could like,
like smooth shit.
Like,
with Paul Zengas
and,
and Tim Hardaway
and Courtney Lee,
I could have,
I could have made that a playoff team.
I was playing out of position.
If they had played me two-guard fronted with –
if I were a two-guard fronted with Jerry Jack, you know what I'm saying?
Everybody played me as a four because of college.
But I've been playing out of position my whole career.
You play me at the one, two, three.
I'm bigger.
I'm better on defense.
Now I got somebody to play pick and roll with.
I could have fucked a pick and roll with I could've
I could've fucked
a pick and roll game
up with Kylo Quinn
and
um
um
Christoph Porzingis
but
Jeff
Jeff Hornacek
was on the hot seat
and
Porzingis didn't really know
how to play good basketball
like winning basketball
so that shit was trash
but yeah
like that shit in New York
I just treat that shit
like the fucking
summertime
I just thought you was a pure par four.
That's why I said you was a three-level scorer, because watching you hoop now, it's like, nah, he really a perimeter player that can do both.
Yeah, so that's why I didn't play in Miami my first two years, because Spoh wanted me to be Carlos Boozer.
Damn.
I don't even see you as no booze.
Bro, every— like, nigga.
You was ahead of your time, though.
Every practice, I used to watch for an hour, two hours, Carlos Boozer and fucking Karl Malone.
Like, and I used to tell them, like, bro, even if I get that much weight, like, my shoulder's not even that wide.
Like, I can't be that big.
You're that Dwight Howard dog. Yeah, it's like, bro. No, he don't. No, he don't. No, my shoulder's not even that wide. Like, I can't be that big. You're saying that Dwight Howard died.
Yeah, it's like, bro.
No, he don't.
No, he don't.
No, somebody else don't.
Nah, hold on, y'all.
Wait, wait, wait.
What are you just saying?
What are you just saying?
What are you just saying?
What are you just saying?
What did I miss?
What did you say?
No, I said you gotta,
they wanted you to be built
like Dwight Howard.
Nah, what did you say, y'all?
That Dwight Howard died.
Yeah, you don't want that.
You don't want that.
I'm talking about what you're he talking about Karl Malone.
Karl Malone was the biggest motherfucking NBA nigga.
Nah, nah, nah.
He done played nobody like Karl Malone.
When I went back to the Heat with LeBron, I got on LeBron, dog.
Shit, what was that?
Bruh.
I ain't going to say what, but I don't eat three times a day.
I'm on one time, two times a day.
I skip breakfast.
I fast a lot.
But that season, I was eating three times a day.
I was like 250.
I'm talking about body fat, 5%.
I was like, go back and look at them pictures when I was next to them.
How did you feel on the court, though?
Bro, like a brick wall. Did'd you feel on the court though? Bro
Like a brick wall
Like
Did you feel like it worked though?
Yeah
I ain't like
I ain't feelin' saucy
You know what I'm sayin'
My jump shot ain't feel
Feelin' as fluent
Yeah
But
No
I ain't never get hurt
Like
That's all that matters
You know
But
Like
I'm trying to get your MVP
So
I'm trying to be MVP next year
You got to call Lonzo Ball
Lonzo got a new knee
You got to tap in
I need new
Oh you need a new knee
Yeah
What happens to your knee
I need microfracture surgery
But I ain't gonna never get that
So
He don't want to sit down
For a couple months
Yeah
That's why I quit playing
It's like
It's some ways
You can heal your knees.
I feel cool now. I train
now.
The way I
I broke my
foot in September
and I can tell people now
because I ain't want nobody to know
because I ain't really get back on the court until
maybe
six weeks before this
big three season.
So you're always stunting on niggas.
Oh for real. So you ain't even trained
so now you MVP at this train.
No no no I was trained.
We got some
we got some more next year.
Nah I was rehabbing
like bro like right before the season last
year I was about to go to China.
And you know I was out LA playing and I stepped on KD's foot.
Oh, okay.
You know, I don't know why, bro.
Like, I mean, we was playing, and the play before, I contested him.
And when I was contesting him, I was saying to myself, like,
I've never been here before.
You know, like, I've never been this close on defense before. Like, I remember saying that to myself, like, like, I've never been here before, you know? Like, I've never been this
close on defense before. Like, I was, I remember
saying that to myself, like, you know?
Like, cause I don't, like, bro, I ain't no hard
defensive nigga, you know? So I just
remember, you know, like, dog, I just don't,
you know, I just felt like
I was up there for five seconds while he was shooting the jump shot.
Hit it in my face and I was like,
so I'm just like, whatever.
Next play, the same thing.
And I just came down, bro.
Pop, pop.
My shit shattered.
Lord Dirk was in the gym.
I was crying.
Like, it was the first time I meet Lord Dirk.
He see me.
I'm trying, like, I always thought it was going to be a gangster situation when I meet him.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Some gangster shit. Maybe in my hood. He was shooting a video or you know i don't know yeah some gangster shit you know
maybe in my hood here's a shooting a video or something like i don't know just not crying
i gotta bring out a 16 for you dirt like
man i was crying that shit was embarrassing but like dog
I thought it was over
so like the rehab
behind that
it was supposed to be
a three four month
because I ain't need surgery
but I end up being like
five six seven month
rehab
because my dorsiflex
wouldn't come back
oh yeah
you know so
like dog
I would
I really like
just like
just do what I do every day.
That's why I was laughing downstairs.
And I hope this come out after the game tomorrow.
Because, like, literally, like, I've literally been doing the same move all season long.
Like, the same move.
I be laughing.
I told my man before the season, I said, bro, I'm going to burn these niggas up with the same move. I was like, I be laughing. I told my man before the season, I said, bro,
I'm going to burn these niggas up with this same move
all season long.
And they ain't even
going to realize it.
And nobody realized it.
Besides me.
If you go get to the clip,
I locked him up
and I told him,
when we was guarding,
I said,
this is what I've been
fucking waiting for.
Only reason I've been
Hey, bro,
I caught him at that
free throw line.
I ain't won none of them.
Nah, you ain't scored me.
Nah, nah.
You got me on the block, but the free throw line, I caught you. You ain't line. I ain't won none of them. Nah, you ain't scored me. Nah, nah. You got me on the block,
but the free throw line,
I caught you.
You ain't scored?
Run the clip.
Y'all don't know.
He wrote a clip.
He didn't score.
I said,
this is why I don't play.
You ain't going anymore.
You dunked on the name.
I had 30 points.
I would have fouled
the shit out of him.
He ain't going to dunk me.
I would have fouled him.
I've seen the box score.
Oh, he killed.
Yeah, he got one of them.
We won, though.

Oh, nah.
Too many hook sidesteps.
I told you, nigga.
Hook that first sidestep, right?
Yeah.
I said, man, I ain't going to hit that all night.
Man, he can hit that two times in a row.
He like that.
He hit that motherfucker five times.
Nah, he like that.
That's his move.
He did that to bring the fire.
Yeah.
I'm like, oh, man, fuck that nigga.
He hit that five times.
That's his go-to move, bro.
That's his go-to move.
That's his go-to move.
I said, oh, he came to play tonight.
Yeah, but I got to stop on B's.
If his body wasn't so fucked up, they would have had a better year.
Why his body fucked up?
He don't do drugs.
I didn't know he was a hood nigga.
I thought he was a professional.
You thought he was a square?
I thought he was a square.
I ain't never meet him in person.
You know what I'm saying?
And he quiet. So I just, you know, I ain't never meet him in person. You know what I'm saying? Walking by.
You know what I'm saying?
And he quiet.
So I just, you know what I'm saying?

I got four or five brothers and sisters.
I mean, if I came in came to college one slice of pizza
so I had to come
with half the joint
and my mom
I still got pop
because I had the pizza
in my hand
like this
like a bankroll
and he out of pocket
that's some
that's some really
shit I heard
I had to get you
on the devil
killed it that's shit I heard. I really had to fuck over KD
because I didn't want to whoop him.
When I was 11, that's when everything
came to pass. That's where the pizza
come from, bro. When me and KD met, bro, we what everything at the time that's where the pizza come from
but
when me and KD met
bruh
we was
attached at the hip
like
like I told this
I said this
before
like KD was the first time
I ever brought my
Xbox out the house
like
KD was my man
like
I was his nigga
like
like my mom used to
pick us up from school
his mom used to
drop us off like like if I ain't got us up from school his mom used to drop us off like
like if i ain't got a ride i'm catching the bus to his house even his brother tony man man tony
we used to kick it like no that you know we just grew up like that like if i'm doing something
messed up his mother gonna pop me and you know same you know and it was just it was never
basketball with us. Yeah.
You know, like, on the court, like, when I first started playing with KD,
I was trash at basketball.
Like, I was trash.
He was always the one?
Yeah, I can just rebound.
Like, every game, I had 30, 40 rebounds. And look, wherever Kevin was at, dog, I'm talking about 20 offensive rebounds,
I'm throwing that back, you know. Same way he play now, since he was 9, dog, I'm talking about 20 offensive rebounds, I'm throwing that back.
Same way he play now.
Since he was 9, 10 years old, I'm talking about half court, letting that joint fly.
That's just how we, it used to be fun.
We win games, we go home, play video games, we break somebody's window.
I remember, bro, we was in Florida, and I ain't gonna say but the coach
me, KD
and coach
was wrestling
and
I jumped on
I jumped on KD back
KD
flung me back man
and I flew through
the goddamn window
and
I still
I still got the gas
I still got the scar
on my face
and
damn
KD was my bro that's I mean but like it was just never basketball with us got the scar on my face. Damn.
I mean,
but like,
it was just never basketball with us.
He was just my nigga.
Like,
I hold him down.
He hold me down.
We in the gym.
All like,
like,
nigga,
that's my nigga.
And we just happened
to be good at basketball.
Nigga,
y'all both just happened
to be tall as fuck.
Like,
how the,
like,
but he said he started
off rebounding though.
I know,
but just think about it.
Like,
my nigga is field.
My nigga is 5'11".
Yeah,
like,
I don't,
like,
they split me and KD up
by the time we got,
like,
13.
By the time we got
to the eighth grade,
that's when he went
to the Blue Devils.
I went to assault.
Assault,
yeah.
Like,
you know what I'm saying?
I was going to ask you
why y'all split up.
It was,
at the time,
me and KD was kids.
We ain't know.
We just did what our parents
always do, you know?
Yeah.
Hindsight is clear,
you know?
And whoever got to
whoever mom first,
whatever,
like,
bro,
we ain't had shoes.
We was poor.
Me and KD,
we ain't grow no money
no
shoes
cars
none of that shit
so
you know
whoever had the best shoes
for us
or had a better situation
for us
and you know
and I can't speak for his situation
you know
I just know
my situation personally
when
I met
Curtis Malone
I was wearing
the same pair of shoes
for two years
and it was too small and that nigga showed up I was wearing the same pair of shoes for two years.
And it was too small.
And that nigga showed up to my house with five pair of shoes.
I said, oh, yeah, I'm going to be at practice tomorrow.
He a legend.
He a legend.
It was simple as that.
That's my legend.
Dropped like $20 on me.
It was the first time I seen a $20 bill.
And, yeah.
They had a doc on him.
He showed a lot of love. love yeah he did some good things
he did some bad things
and that's enough for me to judge
but he kept all that away from y'all though
he's still a good person
yeah he did
he really took a liking to y'all
and loved on y'all like y'all was his
nah we ain't gonna to go that far.
You don't think so?
You got kids?
Yeah.
How?

When they get older, right, when they grow up, how much money are they going to have to pay you?
None.

Nah, genuinely, 100%.
If I can remember every time...
If he can remember every time
he got a stop
when I got 30 points,
that man ain't get a lot of time.
Shit, if you only want a one time.
Hey,

Like.
Ah, that's a hard analogy,
but I stopped you.
So, what that mean?

I don't worry about the cord.
I just keep walking. So, I was the dressing? That just means that I don't worry about the cord. I just keep walking.
So I was the cord.
I was the cord.
Yo, do you feel that, motherfucker?
