Even though it's still kind of fresh, it's like, it's kind of crazy. I always ask him that, like, obviously regular season or whatever, but like playoff times when we're watching it, like, the Knicks going against the Spurs. That feels like, man, I can get out there and fuck with them a little bit.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah, you always feel like that as a player. Like, Jeff right now still feel like he can hoop. Like, if his knee wouldn't hurt, he felt like he still. That's the fact.

They said, people are crazy, love out here, for sure. That, like, it's one of the fan bases. It's kind of like New York, too. Like, when you play in Philly and they rock with you, they rock with you forever.
Starting point is 00:08:25 So that love for Philly just, they embrace them, automatic, you know what I'm saying? No, it's like that in Philly. recently they celebrated the anniversary y'all you know what I'm saying getting that chip together up there in Milwaukee man you ever reminisce on that man good times man I have led us to the chip man me and y'all that spin it was 50 points man I was hooping my boy p man he was holding it down out there man for the for the bench squad he's the only one that would talk to us so shout out to peter right
Starting point is 00:08:59 You know, Jeff, hey, listen, bro, I swear. I told you this story, dog. He packed this truck up. I'm telling you all right now. Crazy. Hands down, like top five, my top five NBA stories all time, bro. Jeff packed his truck, bro. He really did.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Like, in real life, he packed this truck, bro. He did. Did you ignore him? Because I don't know. I had to, bro. I'm locked in. Yeah. He's joking.
Starting point is 00:09:21 You already know Jeff played all day every day. No, like, we're in the finals, bro. And you're joking. Stop joking, bro. Stop playing so much. much. Like, he's still playing. We're in the finals. Like, we're about to win the world championship. And you're joking. That's crazy,
Starting point is 00:09:35 that is how he is. If y'all think it's a game, like, Jeff is really like that. Like, how he acted on the show, telling stories, that's Jeff all day for real. No, it's not. That's what it is, bro. He's lying. I was trying to tell him about my apartment I had. The college dorm,
Starting point is 00:09:51 who's living in a college dorm in the NBA? Being a project is playing as an NBA player. Bro, it was across the street from the Frank facility, bro. It's like a college dorm for real. Like, no bull, like, for real. You don't know why he bought that, the. I ain't just written that.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Like, you don't have to live like that. Living in the trenches in the NBA is crazy. Oh, that's just. That's good. Hey, what day he was like, am I going to come up, man? I was like, no, you're like, no, you're not. Like, what? I'm going to pull up.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Bro, I'm going to come up there. You're like, no, no, no, you're not. I'll walk out here at all. I was using a neighbor Wi-Fi. You had a crib out there, P? Yeah, I had to, of course. I'm not doing that, bro. I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:10:36 For being in a one-thead room shack. Yeah, I did. We had to go back and dispel some stuff as well. You get a lot of discredit for what happened in that KD two in the line game, but we reviewed the tape. It wasn't. Ah, that was Chris Middleton. Thank you. You've seen that.
Starting point is 00:10:49 It was a lot of hate going on. Listen, we had to review the tape. What's the caucus and figured it out. It was not your fault. For sure, for sure. They kept getting the switch and Chris was getting back. That's true. Yes, that's very true.
Starting point is 00:11:02 But Pete held it down. I'm being held it down for all these years, not even saying nothing. Because it's you, I mean, as a defender, you take that, like, no matter what. And that's the matchup, the ob, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. For years. So, like, you know, we'll take that as a defender. You're going to, you're never going to win that battle for the most part.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Like, maybe every once in a while, but for the most part, especially with stars, you're not going to win that battle. I don't know. I think is trying to make them take as many shots as possible. have as little as possible, you know what I'm saying? Because they're going to get their numbers. But it's just trying to make it work for it. So you're going to take that L. You didn't want no break at all while guarding him, though.
Starting point is 00:11:36 It wasn't nobody else. You were like, bro, take you for a little bit, bro. Let me catch my prayer. You can't, bro. When you, especially in the playoffs, like, you're so locked in, oh, Garzma. Yeah. In those specific matchups, like, we go through so much film every game of, like,
Starting point is 00:11:49 you're sitting there watching you getting your own, like watching getting killed. Nah, for sure. Like, you know. I see back there like, hell. Can you imagine doing that with Jeff right? there, bro. Jeff's like, damn. We're in the film room. We're like, shit, put your hand up too late.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Like, bro. Are we on the same team, like, good move. You, baby, it's crazy. We lost my 10. Good move. Checking the defenders. My God, bro. Me, I want to ask you how you feel about somebody
Starting point is 00:12:20 young defenders in the league, personally, Sparsely, Samson, man. How do you feel like that in Detroit, man? Obviously, he won't probably get a DPOI because Winby in the league. But he won't I think he still should get a shot. Like, he really, he's shot, bro. He, like, and he go one through five, like, switch on everybody. He's so active.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Like, he's definitely one of the best in the league. And being so young, that's rare. You get young guys be one of the best defenders in league, like, that fast. Jeff said he's the greatest ever, Pee. Uh-huh? Jeff said he's the greatest defender. He will be the greatest ever. He said he better than Scotty Pippen on the defensive team.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Yo, Jeff says, wow. That's some wild shit, Rob. God, that's crazy. He had to do more years. He can't play defense, bro, but we're not talking about Scotty with the old hawk, no, no, no. We watched the highlights, a sword time. He's going crazy.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Look, Scotty Pippen never did that. He got blocking sinners jump shots, bro. Bro, what? Bro, you tripping. Give him some game, just a little bit. You tripping. They got to do it longer than even, like, kind of good. I told him to give him some time.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I'm there. Yeah, he needs time for sure. He fried. I don't eat steak with ketchup, bro. Yes, he did steak with lime, bro. Don't. Oh, my gosh. You'd be the best best player ever.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Wimby? Yeah. Yeah. You think Wimby'll be better than Bond? Only because you could change. No. Better than who? Bron.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Defender? Yeah. He said Defender. Oh, oh, yeah. Best defender ever. I thought he said best player. You can be. You could be.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Just because he gets switched his scheme like where everybody like, yo, we're just sending everybody downhill to him. Yeah. I don't think nobody's ever in the league ever. been like, no matter who, everybody's guarding, get up and make them go downhill to the rim. Like, push everybody to the rim. Yeah. Nobody's ever better to do that.
Starting point is 00:14:06 That's a fact. That's crazy. You think he could be the best player ever? No. I don't. I mean, you got to say, yeah, like, it's a possibility. The chance is what you're in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, it's a possibility. Nah. Do I think it happen? I don't know. I doubt it. You think it could be weird. Best player is probably kind of crazy, but at least top five when it's all said. I mean, respectfully, he got to be one of the best players.
Starting point is 00:14:32 some of his franchise first. Yeah, I agree with that. It's somebody who's going to have five of them time. He got some big shoes and feel just in his franchise. Not even talking about all the time with everybody. I just think if he stay healthy, he got a good chance, bro. That's what I'm saying? There's too many factors in to, like,
Starting point is 00:14:47 with like those conversations is so tough because you got to play a lot of games, a lot of years to even kind of, you know what I'm saying, to getting that conversation, dog. You got to be healthy to play a long time. You got to stay healthy. Yeah, you guys, it's a lot of stages. One of my favorite underrated, maybe not underrated, defenders in the NBA,
Starting point is 00:15:04 Kason Wallace, from a guard perspective who don't get enough shine. I know O'KC, they strap up. He's one of the ones, too, that really lock up. He's tough. I mean, is he the best defender on his team, though? Nah. Who you think better, Jay Doug? No.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Peruso? Caruso. Rousseau, number one, bro. Louort? I ain't bad at Lou Dort. Wow. Oh, no. No.
Starting point is 00:15:26 No. No. Lou Dorda definitely the best free safety in the NBA for his phone. Trapping out the band on our cell phones. Out of the boost mobile, we will. And there's another one after this performance. No, you think Lou Dord is a better defender than Alex Caruso? I said it's a, I'll ask this a question.
Starting point is 00:15:49 I saw it. So it was Gar and Yokish, bro. I ain't never seen a back, a point guard guard in the center. Part two. Lou Dirk guard, bro. Watch the film on Lou Dirt on James, bro. Lou Dork. James win.
Starting point is 00:15:59 James win. Whenever, listen, Houston. Nah, no, no. I'm telling you, look at the Loodark and Gore in Houston, James. Bro, I'm saying Lou Dort, I've seen it. Like, Lou Dort, I'm telling you, James only had like 33. Bro, we just said that.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I just had the conversation about stars getting their numbers. Like, you're going on. Yeah. Making sure. I'm just a bit. I'm just saying, like, Lou Dork can gore, bro. And which James, too. James put on the fast suit that was trying to get out of Houston.
Starting point is 00:16:27 or, you know what I'm saying? It's all the same. He's still getting 30s. It's better. Shout out to I got, Jay's for sure. Obviously, it's Summer League going on right now. What was your Summer League experience like, man? Dog, Summer League is like,
Starting point is 00:16:42 I don't think people, like, really take it for what, like, what it really is because you get, like, a full plethora of, like, people from all, like, categories, from the rookies. I mean, obviously, all the hype go to the rookies, top picks and all that. But you got dudes like journeymen that's been fighting and playing a G league. And dudes is trying to feed their family. So you see dudes out there like, I seen dudes swing on dude and they're about getting into it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Like, yeah, because they fight for their life in the Summer League, bro. Because you fight for opportunity to get a chance to get a chance. Yep. You know what I'm saying? To get a camp invite. And you get a camp invite. But you're trying to make the roster. Do you got to make the roster?
Starting point is 00:17:19 You know what I'm saying? It's so many stages for them guys that, like, fight through that. Like, Summer League is a real, like, doggy, dog. like, it's real, though. Especially nowadays with the second apron, you know what I'm saying? T's trying to try to go to the attacks. They see those players
Starting point is 00:17:32 that you just stack around on a hundred-hack. And now with the two ways, there's so many stages to get through to, like, to break through now. Like, I feel like back in the day it was a little harder. I feel like now, you get a lot more opportunity with, you know, like we said,
Starting point is 00:17:44 with the two ways, the second April, it's like, it's a lot you can do to try to make a roster. I'm God. Y'all was out there grinding in that Orlando Side Gym, boy, that was different. It was real hoops. Yeah, no, for real.
Starting point is 00:17:55 That's like, that's like, Like, bro, that's like, when I think especially in my career, when I think about it, those are like the real moments where you like, when you locked in trying to get it, you know what I'm saying? Man, you know how you have the game on with just a few friends over. It's really kind of background noise. Then, dang, something crazy happens. A big play or momentum shift that changes the whole stakes of the game.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Next thing you know, everybody in the party locked in. That's where Amazon Prime comes in. Because once that right moment hits, you want to go all in. We've had nights like that. Once the excitement builds, you want the environment to match a vibe.

Starting point is 00:23:08 and make an instant impact on their team? Peterson for sure. Peterson. Peterson is going to... You're going right away. I think you're going to drop to them in. Right away. They're wrong.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Instantly. Instantly. Instantly. That got him right up the gate. He's going to drop a-t. He's going to get all, 20 out the gate. Off-off. Because he's going to get all, like, all reps, all, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:23:27 He's going to initiate all plays. Most plays are going to be drawn to drawn him for him, he's just going going to be going. They're going going to let him off the leash and just let him hoop, so. That's how I feel about AJ. AJ on a good-ass team and he ain't going to be getting double.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I just feel like you talk better though. You talk got a better team and they got guys that are already. You're talking better than Washington? I think so. Damn. I think so. With Tray Young and AD? Is AD going to be there? There we go. There we go. And if he's there, how many games
Starting point is 00:23:58 is going to play? He's going to play a four Cies. He's in this year, y'all. He's got another back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 80 are you going to play every game this year. He's going to be like, he's going to be up a defensive player of the year. He's going to have a year. You're going to have a year.
Starting point is 00:24:10 You got a jazz. When that comes, I'm saying right now, I got, I got them down for a whole season and hooping. I'm rolling. You got jazz as a playoff team? No. No. The Whitt is going to be a playoff team, Pee. What?
Starting point is 00:24:25 Yeah. Yes. I'm making the playoffs. With Trey y'all? You better than that. Y'all know what Trey Young due to the Knicks. Y'all already know what time of it is.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Rolling dice. The only reason the Knicks won this year because Trey Young won't play. You're trying to kill you. No. We ain't doing that. And Tyrese was out. And Tyrese was out.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Oh, and Tyrese. Yeah. Talk about it. You know, that's a cryptos. Talk about it. Now, let me shoot. I can I walk around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I got to walk around here. Ew. I was on the thing. That was my squad, bro. Stop. bro. Oh, my, hell, I'm crazy. That was crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:02 About Philly this year, what you think they're gonna do? They're about to get Bronn. No, that's over. They're not getting Brian, bro. Y'all don't think Brian going to Philly?
Starting point is 00:25:11 Where Brian going? You're going to ask them if they get into... You know what they're going to say, no. You know where Brian going to say, though. Like, Yeah. For sure. Nah.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Nah, that's dead. He's going to go to state, dog. You think you're going to go to state? I got him going to go to state. I like that, though. I like Brian to go to state. It's going to be tough. Brian and Wardell together is crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Oh, my God. I don't care if they win 40 games. It don't matter. I'm telling you right now. We need some more, though, bro. They got it. They still got Jimmy. And AD about to get out of Washington.
Starting point is 00:25:41 They're going to get AD. Wow. We've been hearing that. We've been hearing it. AD and Brian to go to state. What's up? Rich Paul, if you can hear us. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Who going to shoot the ball, though? They need some three-point shooting. Steff Curry. Of course they got Wardell. But they're outside of Steph. That's the obvious. That's the Ivy. Raymond Green.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Exactly. You know that ain't a complete team. They're going to have the need. They don't need that. They still got poor Ziggins. Biggs. They got, oh, they got, what's called, too? Al Horford and Bronner, the same team got to be the oldest team in NBA history.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Bro. Noghford. He's not even 40 yet. I don't like 40 yet, is he? Al 40. Is he? Yeah, 38. He got to be fun.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Because he won the nationalship at 06. You're 40, man. I'm 41. Yeah, he's right there. Yeah, he's right there. He's in my class. Yeah, he's 06. Class 06.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Yeah. College class, he's class, 606. Damn, he definitely. Oh, 6.
Starting point is 00:26:33 7. Man, if the Warriors win 40 games, the NBA is going to be pissed with all them on the team, bro. They, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:41 He's going to win more than 40 games. Are they better than the Lakers when they had Carl Malone and all them? I shouldn't say his name for them. When they had
Starting point is 00:26:50 you always mention him first. When they had Gary Payton and all them. When they had GP and them. All right. I'm asking you. That 04-Legger scene. Nah, bro. I like the O-F,
Starting point is 00:27:04 I like the O-Fourn league team, dog. Yeah, they got all the O-Hs. That was dope, bro. I thought that was a vibe. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah, I was rooting for them. I was rude for him. I was rude for them.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I wanted them to win. Like, I did. Yeah, they went to the finals, bro. Brian and I'm not going to the finals, bro. That was, like we said, bro. That was, hey, just finished the three-peep, bro. That was hard to say. Like, that wasn't, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Nah, they're not. They're not better. They're not better than them. I'm trying. They're not. Straight up. They're not better than them. We mentioned Philly though.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Jalen Brown and B. Tyrese Maxie. Yeah. B.J. Edgecom. I'm something. That's a powerful team. I mean,
Starting point is 00:27:39 if they figured out. You think that trait, like who won in that trade? Philadelphia. Because they were trying to move PG anyway. Oh, you just get a finals MVP for it. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:27:50 I mean, ah, that's, if you look at the playoff series this year. PG was hooping. PG was, PG had a bit, he might have had a better series
Starting point is 00:27:59 than J.B. No, it's low-key effect. And he's locking up. So that's what I'm saying. So you, how does Philly win? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:28:06 that's tough for me. Oh, that's me. I think it's tough too. I don't. Philly was a trade. Like, I'm hating how everybody,
Starting point is 00:28:12 I mean, respect to J.B. But PG is still a hell of a big guy. If PG don't get suspended and all that stuff don't happen, then I think we have enough of conversation. I told them, though.
Starting point is 00:28:23 If you stay clean. Oh, For real. Celtics, Celtics, it's going to make some noise, bro. Yeah, it ain't going to be no dirty solos up there, boss. And he's good, bro. He's good. He got to drink that one drink, there, ma. There am I. Get it at. Don't do that. Don't do that. It's not. G.S. He's not up with this point. Uh, no, don't do that. Nah, but I can't wait to them. Hopefully they make that a Christmas game. Now, I'm still, like, in JT and PG. Why you're playing? in the series, bro. All right. You like them.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I like on Celtics. Bonds will be different to Boston for sure. For sure. It's a lot of pressure on JT now, though. Yeah. Okay. I like that's my God. It's pressure on J.B.?
Starting point is 00:29:09 Nah, no. Now you got to go. Now you're going over there. They got M.B. They already got Maxi. Yeah. Like you loki. Like third now.
Starting point is 00:29:19 No. What? He's number one option. Who? J.B. M. B is on. NB.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Number one over Joel? Absolutely. You're drinking the juice, bro. This man. MB, they're never here. Mbp. He never, he's never there. I want NBP in high school.
Starting point is 00:29:40 He's coming. The same thing is winning the NBA MVP. I'm telling you, the time's past. That's all I'm saying, it's gone. It's gone. That's what I'm saying we're up here. We're about to get NB to chair with us. You know Embed ain't healthy, Pete.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Bro, if Embed is healthy. He ain't healthy since the MVP, bro. He's fighting for MVP if he's healthy. I don't God. That's true. Let's not, please. I'm saying he's not healthy, though. He's one of the most unguarable dudes in the league.
Starting point is 00:30:10 He one of the greatest players ever, but he's not healthy. He hasn't been. He hasn't been. But if he's healthy this year. We said this last year. We said that all the time. I did for sure. We said everybody said that a bunch,
Starting point is 00:30:23 but I'm saying, right now this year, if he come in healthy, he's the number one option for Philadelphia 7-6s. There's no question about it. Hey, he won't be in an emergency. What happens? There's no question about that. I'm telling you that right now. P. Why, you're here, I've got to ask how you feel about our favorite back court in the NBA. Probably the best.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Lamello Ball and Anthony Edwards. Yes. Speak the vibes, DJ. Real hoofs back. That's your favorite? That's the best back court in NBA. We can buy two of the favorite teams. Definitely the best back court in the NBA right.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Last lot. Yeah, we don't care about wins, a lot. This is all about vibes. Yeah, definitely. Who better? Who better back where? They're going to have all the handshakes and they're going to be. Parking lot crazy.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Bob's, yeah, that's going to say crazy. Minnesota is Houston now. Parking lot. Oh, yeah, oh, seriously. Hell. What? Bob's in Minnesota. For sure.
Starting point is 00:31:15 That's the best back. He's only saying that because he love, he love Minnesota. Now I do. I'm back. That's the only reason he's saying that, he don't like him for real together. I don't know. I want to see how that go.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I'm intrigued. I want to see how that go. Who you think of better backcourt? Or close. That is a crazy back court. I mean, it is crazy when you like. But it has to work. We have to.
Starting point is 00:31:41 No, we got to see it play out. Maybe Portland with John Moran, Damely and Lillard. That's a wild back court, too. That is crazy. Through Holiday and School Henderson. They got a crazy backcourt. Scoot, get ready, bro. Pack your bags.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Where's Scoot going? Anywhere in that truck that you had in Milwaukee? My hands and it's my boy, Scoot, bro. Y'all can not keep sending people to the second. Leader Kings alone, bro. That is a nice watch. Yeah, found our door. Go set everybody in the Kings.
Starting point is 00:32:10 What about Shay and Jalen Williams? I was about to say, I think right now they're still the best back corner of the league. I'll take that one. Okay. It's crazy. A lot of people are not talking about SGA. How? A lot of people
Starting point is 00:32:22 know somebody. Obviously the Nixon's got the chip so you got respect to them shout out to Brunson. Yep, we got to respect it. Of course. Asked it a real question. What is it?
Starting point is 00:32:30 But the real respect. Is Brusson better than SGA? Yeah. You got to ask Peter real question. Yeah. We in New York. It don't matter. We are got.
Starting point is 00:32:39 He said we in New York, it don't matter. He's the SGA. I'm... It's tough. That's a tough win. I'm a Nick. I'm rolling with, yeah, I'm rolling with J.B. for sure. I'm rolling with J.B. for sure.
Starting point is 00:32:55 J.B.'s so clutch, bro. It ain't even like, like, I think the era of, like, he's like a 90s era player, bro. And people don't see it like, because he don't talk a lot and he's not going to do too much. But everybody, like, when you on his team and you want to bet you over there, like, he's getting the ball, bro. Like, he's going to, if he's not shooting, he's making the play every single time. And there's a lot of teams of this league. They got stars and all that. And they do not want the moments.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Like, you, you play with dudes that don't want the moment. Like, the moment to be there and your star player don't want it. It's like they'll pass it off or whatever. Like, J.B. going to take that. Whether he miss, make, it doesn't matter. He's going to have the same energy every single time. And that is a rarity. Especially in New York, though.
Starting point is 00:33:38 But that person is still, bro, what? No, people do not want that. What does he rank in players that you play with? Top, top two, three, for sure. Oh. Hold on. We got Sam, I got J.H. You got Janus. You got Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Rush. Debuk, Russ. Hard. I don't know. I said what I said. Oh, boy. I said what I said. I respected P.S.P. Journey.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Bro. Damn, I forgot me. I didn't say Jeff T. I said, Mr. Jeff T. Yonis, yo, I mean, listen. What you think about Yonis going to Miami, though? Bro. Only thing, I don't think it makes sense
Starting point is 00:34:28 because I don't know if they can get the cast to go with it, bro. They got to get a specific cast to go with them, too. Oh, we know. It's got to be super, like, for real. Like, every shooter in the league right now, they ain't got a job should be, like, burning their line down because they're going to need shooters and they're going to need defenders.
Starting point is 00:34:45 So, like, people that can do both. or down like you're about to come out of retirement. No, no, no, no. That got Molly Bill and Tim, though. Bradley Bill has not signed there, bro. Bro, what? Did you just say, like, I'm like, what? No, he did not.
Starting point is 00:35:00 You didn't know? When that? I got the real inside. I hit your phone. Oh, okay. Well, Bradley Bill. Tim Hardaway, that's a notion. They got Tim Hardaway.
Starting point is 00:35:08 We got him back. They got with. He's on the way back. Nah. Nah. Don't get me. Nah. Detroit said, no he is not.
Starting point is 00:35:14 They ain't got no, bro. They got no cap, bro. They got all. minimums. Or if Dunkin don't come. I think they're going to get Desmond or Roza. One of them. They've also been Clay Thompson, which I'm something on. Fire. I would like, no, if they can get
Starting point is 00:35:28 Clay, see, that's the piece. Like, you, they need some real pieces like that. Like, DeMar, Clay, like, they need somebody else to be able to, like, take that, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. That can go get a bucket without, without Bam or Janus. I think it's going to be crazy,
Starting point is 00:35:44 though. Them two, rent protection. Yeah. Crazy. defense is crazy. Yes. If anything like we've seen in Vegas, they will be just fine, man. Shout out of Bell. So, Yon is playing the season.
Starting point is 00:35:54 What Ben do? What Ben do, do they? No, John is not playing the point, bro. Yes, he is. You know who they could have you? They could use Tyler Hero down there in Miami. I ain't going to lie. That had been a good fit.
Starting point is 00:36:04 How are you trying to mess up the interview? Bro, he's, right? Seriously. It's not the Shady rule. My fault. Speaking of the Knicks, man. Shout to my boy, Cat, man. Cat played in Minnesota with me.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Man, I'm glad he got a chip. Shout out to Carthetowns, man. Bodega, which I call him. Bodega Cat. Yeah, shout out to my boy, man. The big bodega, there it go. Yeah, yeah. Wild nicknames. That is a wild nickname.

And you're doing time in one of Japan's worst prisons right there alongside Yakuza gangsters and for a ridiculous charge. Or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga is accused of.

Starting point is 00:40:48 definitely a lifetime dream. So when I got the chance, process is crazy. You don't know how many sample stages. It's so much process going to making shoes. People think you just say, put this color, this color, this color. It don't work like that.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Like working with materials, getting all, like I said, getting all the sample stages to get it just right. Like, it's a lot of going to it. But it's enjoyable, bro. It's fun. Yeah. What's that moment like where you see somebody
Starting point is 00:41:13 rocking the shoe that you designed? No, that's the dovest. Like, I just, the other night at the Jay-Z concert. Cal had my flights on out of nowhere, which is crazy. It's crazy. So that's like the best part of it when you see people rocking it. Fashion always been one of your things, though.

Starting point is 00:42:36 That is, Craig. You hooping all the shoes, though. Right. That's what it's about hooping and stuff. Like, that's how I started, like, even wearing shoes or getting them. It's like, I want to hooping everything. Like, everything is based on hooping. Like,
Starting point is 00:42:47 growing up, like 90s, like all the Jordan drops, like when you had to go wait outside to get there, five, six in the morning, I would literally get the shoes and hooping them the same day.

Starting point is 00:45:56 We're going to lose. It's over. T.A. was the only real vibe on the team. Nah, I came around, though. When Kyrie got hurt, I was like, we got a chance. What's that happened? I definitely said that we won a game three. He was like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:12 I might take my stuff off my truck. She's like, I might unload my truck. I start unloading that three one game. Already having your truck packed in the playoffs is crazy. Bro, in the playoffs, darn? I was getting my shirts out. I'm going to need some extra shit. Like, I just went to the trailer.
Starting point is 00:46:27 It was like, you give you a Milwaukee books for the rest of it. That's what makes the funniest part about the whole thing, bro. If you watch it again, yo. When I got the, I got the ball when the clock ran out, game ticks. The first person that ran out was, you got a dog. I don't know. I know what I'm like, bro. You're fucking lying.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I tried to steal the ball. He tried to steal the ball, bro. I'm like, bro, he ran off the bitch trying to steal the ball. No, he kept it. Yeah. Strong. He was not getting, bro. You've been hating on us all playoffs.
Starting point is 00:47:01 I'm not getting to game ball, bro. He must be a rip, bro. Once we got the Phoenix, I was room for us, though. That's all that. I was like, we good now. And, see, he dead serious on that, on that sideline now, bro. Bro, I can't imagine. I can't imagine being on the sideline, bro.
Starting point is 00:47:16 There's no way. bro. He's never serious. He don't take nothing serious. I don't take it serious with them either. I'll be playing around. He's breaking clipboards and shit. What? I have done that. He's been ejected. He's been ejected. I got to see this. He's been ejected. He's been suspended. I did. I did. I did. Wax, bro. You changed. You changed.
Starting point is 00:47:36 I got ejected for twice. I broke five clipboards. Legit. Breaking clipboards, bro. I'm violent. I was better this year. I didn't get no text this year. I was good. We need more text. We need the vibes up. Rev's telling him, sit down. You sit down. He did do that.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I said, you got to see me after this. I'm a grown man. Eat your ass in the parking lot. He was like, get him out of here. Get him out of here. I can't imagine him coaching. In front of the king is, bro. It's so crazy, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:07 It's fun, though. That's a good vibe, for real. That's dope. You going to get into it? No, no, no. Not even a little bit, man. I don't think so. You would be really good at player development, though.
Starting point is 00:48:17 You know, it's crazy. I get, like, coaches that I play for that, like, especially throughout the season. Yeah. Like, during playoffs, like, just working on their schemes and stuff that will watch me, like, watch film of what we did, like, over the years guarding certain players and call me and be like, yo, what you think about this? How this person playing? What you think?
Starting point is 00:48:36 You've been watching? How would you do this? How would you do that? So, you know how that go in the league. Like, everybody, each one, teach one, and everybody copy everybody. So everybody trying to figure out how to stop, especially the stars. Like, everybody trying to figure out. out what to do to stop stars.
Starting point is 00:48:49 So they'll ask the guys that have been guarding them the most. So that's the old. I think you would be great at it because you do. You got that. Like even when we was in Milwaukee, you will be breaking down stuff for Bud. Like we need to guard it this way. We need to do that.
Starting point is 00:49:00 We need to do this. Well, that was different though because Bud just be like, yo, do it my way. And as soon as you question it, he'd be like, all right, do it. Well, if you do it, it better work. Yeah. So that was like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:49:10 You know what I'm saying? So. I was cool as hell. I'm rock with Bud, bud. There am I Go ahead No, go ahead You should just be mad
Starting point is 00:49:20 Like why are you so mad Bro, you playing the whole game He said one day He said Tee I played the whole game We got the same amount of shots My y'all I ain't hit in the game

Starting point is 00:49:40 This is a job Yeah it's a fact It's a job Yo When fans start to understand the job, it's a job, and you go out there every single day, you're breaking out film, you're doing stuff for the job. It ain't
Starting point is 00:49:51 going to play pickup with your boys and getting shots up and, like, you, I'm not, listen, don't put me on nothing for your ticket because I know the game plan and I'm not getting those shots, my boy. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's how it works, though. Like, that's a part of your job. We don't know that as casual fans
Starting point is 00:50:07 that you get a friend, like to really break it down. Because we're sitting at him, like, why aren't you shooting a ball, bro? Like, Oh, y'all ain't actually nothing. I wasn't on nobody slips.
Starting point is 00:50:18 I didn't answer none of your question. I ain't at no goals. You never. It was. It was. It was. It was.

Starting point is 00:50:33 all I got to get is 12 and 6. I'm going to get 32 million this year. Right. So he wasn't a real player. I did. Yeah. I did it. I did it.
Starting point is 00:50:42 I did it. Yeah. But Duke. Man, you are going to go, bro, you can't, like, especially in situations like where guys like, how are you just talking about, like, 80, coming back, like, his contract year, you're going to play, right? Over the years, there's so many guys like that, but you got to be in certain positions to be able to have a chance to do that. Yeah. Like, you can't just be like, oh, okay, it's my contract year. I'm about the hoop now.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Like, no, you're not. I tried that in Milwaukee. That shit don't work like that. It's my year. I'm by the hoop. I was done. How was that adjusted for you, though, coming from college? Bro, it's like a trial period, almost like, not even a trial period.
Starting point is 00:51:17 It's like when you got to figure out how to have longevity, right? It's like having guys, like I had Dan Marley. I had like older guys that been through it that's been the best role players, you know what I'm saying, NBA history, be able to help me, be like, listen. You play with Dan Marley? No, I didn't play with Dan Marley. My coach in Phoenix. Hey, Daniel.
Starting point is 00:51:37 PJ was a lot of time. Wow. Dan is my coach in Phoenix. Oh, okay. Okay, okay. But like, you know what I'm saying? Well, they kind of give you the map. Like, yo, look, this is what you need to do right here.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Whoever the best player on the other team, you need to guard them every time and do this. And then you, like, build up from that. You know what I'm saying?

One through five.
