No, that's hard.

If you have money, use it. That's the whole point of it. Yeah, I ain't, I, I'm not, I'm Michael Jordan, this bitch. You wear hats every day anyway. No, I don't. I only wear hats on here. When I'm gone, I don't wear my hats.

We went to town, we went somewhere. Where you go, we ain't have on, you ain't have on no hat. You've never been to the episode without a hat. You didn't have one hat on Vegas when we did them episodes? On the episode? No. I don't have one hat on Vegas.

Yeah, I probably had a hat, but. Well, y'all niggas legit need a hat deal. I've been trying to get one for us. No, I got it. Did you miss the whole point of the show? We ain't thirsty, y'all, but we thirsty. I've been trying to get a hat. That was his first time.

At some point, it's happening. What's the first deal I ever to get that. That was his first time. At some point it happened. What's the first deal I ever said I was? That was the first thing you said, I need somebody to come through with lids. I said, I'm gonna wear a hat every day so somebody gets a hat deal. And then dude starts sitting in his hat, I'm like, hey, it's working.

And we still ain't got a hat deal. Please bless the crew, bro. But now we put out Vegas, I don't wear, obviously I don't coach in a hat. Cause we probably didn't do that over 300 episodes. Y'all need to wear hats, damn near every one of them. Yeah, I probably wore hat every episode. That's majority.

Between us not having the shoe deal and the hat deal is criminal. Yeah, I gave up on shoes. What would y'all want first? I just wear what's literally at the door. Oh, shoe deal. Me, hat deal. I got enough shoes.

I'll go buy hats. Run the shoes. But it depends who the shoe brand is. I got enough shoes. I'll go buy hats. You run the shoes. But it depends who the shoe brand is. That's a topic. I would have a manufacturing. If it was a. A conglomerate, like a store that had multiple brands. Mm. They got hats and shoes.

Mm. Mm. That's a product. Let's speak this into existence. Tap in with us. Oh. The best of the products. Let's speak this into existence. Tap in with us. Oh. The best of both worlds. Oh.

I don't know if that's what's going on. But I'm the R. Kelly fan. I'm the R. Kelly fan on the show. Look at it. He got R. Kelly songs on everything. I like Jay-Z. I like Jay-Z. Yeah, cap.

You know, they never bring it up, but they're talking about collab albums. I wonder why. They fuck this, man. I'm sinking in. Because if I put it on, y'all gonna say so. You should have the boost mobile, man. $25 nationwide. Guaranteed 5G. Guaranteed. $25. For sure.

They want a Nextel shirt. Yo, boost mobile. I-530, tap me in. Yeah, they trying to tap into that old boost vibes. I'm with the new boost. I need a new iPad. I need the old boost. With that boost mobile 5G so when I travel.

But y'all also forgot. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember.

I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. I old Boost vibes. I'm with the new Boost. I need a new iPad. I need the old Boost. With that Boost Mobile 5G, so when I travel. But y'all also forgot. I could be on Playback with it. They don't be telling y'all. First three months with Boost Mobile was $15. You didn't go to $25.

That's a hidden secret for y'all, you know what I'm saying? Y'all probably didn't know that. I ain't know that. That's absolutely new. Just be here. And the price don't go up after that, right? Yeah. Yeah, you grandfathered in. I'm with Voppy's. Cause the price don't go up after that, right? Yeah.

Yeah, you grandfathered in. I was five piece. Your first three months are guaranteed to $15. You know what I mean? Come on man, you need that official tri-phone tap in with Boost Mobile, you know what I'm saying? Out the gate. Facts.

Y'all fraud, man. A little way we do ass now. Shout out to the team. Nah, for real though. I'm really sure, I really want them to, I'm gonna get a plan. Cause I wanna do playback on the road. You know, if I got the 5G nationwide,

I can do it at any time. Cause people like Lowe talking shit. Yeah, I'll segue into something. You little fat fucker. Yeah. What a segue. Y'all told me I could be me. I wanna get on playback with Low,

his little chubby ass pulls. We gonna talk our shit, cause he got me fucked up. But he did a breakdown basically saying like, just because you went in the East, just cause you played against LeBron bro, it don't mean you gonna go out West and do your thing. All right, so he was.

I just said that we played that OKC team, we'd be all right. Because we played LeBron, and that if you played that OKC team, we'd be all right. Because we played LeBron, and if you can play LeBron, we got swept by LeBron, but I don't think nobody in the world as good as LeBron that plays basketball right now. When he was at that time.

Yeah, he took that way, way left and just put y'all in the game, and it was like, they'd beat y'all, Ashbro. Yeah, you know, people that can't play basketball, they usually do shit like that. Respect. I remember when you can't play it no more, you know, people that can't play basketball, they usually do shit like that. Respect. I remember when you can't play it no more, you kinda coach it, when you never played it before,

you talk about it. What is your real analysis though on that though? If you can't play basketball, you can talk about it? Nah, nah, nah. That's, it depends, but I'm talking about like the real matchup between you, SGA, Chant. No, I don't think I'm better than SGA. What I'm saying is we were a team.

Yeah. So we were a good team and we played against really good players at that time. They were, they're good. They're a great team, but their numbers historically, like our historical numbers, but they're not playing against, what would you call, the greatest players ever.

We just said, us as a group said, our era was probably the greatest players ever, like a group of players. Obviously Michael Jordan and them, whoever they ranked, but our group of players at that time, most of them are top 75 that were good at that era. That's a fact. What do you, do you think that team with you, Al, Paul,

or the team with you, Josh and Joe, which team you taking against? Oh, if it was a team with Josh and Joe and them, with Jamal and all them, we would definitely beat they ass then. But we just ran up a team against teams that were just too fucking, like we played the Bulls with Derrick Rose.

Right, I forgot to ask you that, which team you would take against. Now if I said my best Hawks team, that is my best Hawks team. We had Jamal, Josh, all them. That was the best Hawks team. I was a young pup too. But I'm just, that team,

that team was ahead of its time. Cause we played small ball. Like Al was the five. Marvin, they all switched every ball screen. They did all that shit already. So that team was made for this era. Yeah, I honestly don't see nobody on that team fucking with Joe.

Hell no. Too big, too crazy. We would've posted, man, he would've got that switch and posted shit out of him. And we could guard him. We was the same size. Like they would've switched one through five. Like our switches wouldn't have been Rudy Gobert. So got that switch and posted shit out of them. And we could guard them. We was the same size. They would have switched one through five. Our switches wouldn't have been Rudy Gobert.

Our switches is Al Horford, who'd been switching on the guards. Who was still switching in the year 76 against LeBron Jones. You know what I mean? And that team was a fire ass team. I ain't gonna even lie. Even when we traded Bivvy and got Kirk Heinrich,

that was still a fire team. But I mean, I'm not hating on S.J. and them. They raw, they nice. No, you ain't hating, you ain't hating. That was just a topic that you know. Yeah, but I'm gonna ride for when I play, before I be like, I'm gonna give a fuck. I can be unrealistic all I want.

That's the beauty of the thing about it. I played Low D. He just watched. Nah, that's true. And they killed Low when he said Reggie Mill was a role player. They was on his ass. He said, wait, I was Low D. He just watched. Nah, that's true. And they killed Low when he said Ridge and Mill was a role player. They was on his ass. He said, wait, I was just playing his.

I said, nah, fuck you. He can't take a step back. When you can't play, you just talk about it. And it done run with it though. I respect it all. Shout out to Low, man. Shout out to Low. Speaking of basketball shit,

I want to ask how y'all felt about this. I've seen, you know, since Spurs might take Dillon Harper too, seen a lot of people say, you know, say it could be a fire scenario if he turned it to Tarius Maxey. And I was like, that's Denver, you know, since Spurs might take Dillon Harper too. Seen a lot of people say, you know, say it could be a fire scenario if he turned it to Tyrese Maxey. And I was like, that's Denmark, a fire-ass player coming. I know it's a little bit different in size, but what if that would be his trajectory?

That would be fire for the Spurs. He would never play like Tyrese Maxey. You don't think so? Tyrese Maxey a bullet. I don't think he can score like that. He's a bullet, bro. He's so fast. His thing is speed.

Like, Tyrese Maxey is a speed player. He get where he want on the court, he drive by you, do those quick legs and he shoot through you. But you gotta respect his speed so much that you back the fuck up. Dylan Harper is like, he's not fast. He's like a Cade Cunningham type of player. I was just about to say that.

More methodical. Yeah, methodical, big body, Jalen Bronson, Cade Cunningham, like he was like well. Big size, you know what I mean? Got good size for his position, so pause. But like, that's what he's gonna be. He's not gonna be Tyrese Maxxon. Nah. Yeah, I don't see that at all.

Yeah, damn, that is tough. They two totally different players. I just don't like that fit with the Spurs. Like, with Castle being able to play both guard positions, well one through three really. And then De'Aaron Fox being the franchise point guard, I feel like, I mean, he's a NBA caliber point guard. I don't see no run for Dillon Harper.

Like even though it's a small ball, you know, universe now, NBA or whatever you want to call it, I just still don't like it. Yeah, because what people feel to realize, Wimby's going to have the ball in his hands too. Yeah, he's going to play. I mean, but if Dylan Harper's there, take him, shit. I mean, you take the best player available.

Most definitely, you figure it out. But for me, I'm going with something like, I don't got on my team, that like, I know what my team is, I don't got on my team. That like, I know what my team is. I know Wimby's my guy. I know Darren Fox is there. I'm gonna go with, I know Castle is there. I'm gonna go with something we don't got.

If it's like a Derrick Queen, somebody that I don't got. You know what I'm saying? Derrick Queen for sure. A complimentary player to them. Possibly trading now from two, maybe even. Yeah, like if I'm not gonna trade this two and 14 to get a dynamic piece, if I ain't about to get some Giannis or a KD

or whatever it is, I'm gonna trade back. Derrick Quinn can come in and play right away. Listen, the NBA finals are almost here and every play can lead up to the moment that changes everything.

VJ Edgecombe, yeah. Dynamic one. Athlete. You need some development, but you can teach like, hey, you're gonna be a good defender, you athletic, you can get out and run. We need somebody that can run with De'Aaron Fox. You know what I mean? Castle, you six, seven, six, five, six, six.

Castle, six, seven. Y'all both can play wing positions. Spurs are a playoff team regardless of the draft pick next year. Yeah. Most definitely. You about to have Victor one, but yeah, it's about to destroy the league next year. And you got a supporting cast is capable to win games.

Little bit more experience. I don't know what they're gonna do with that pick. I mean, you know, maybe it's not enough balls to share Paul's, but I'd like to see him like even a trade Johnson with him, a solidified to guard, maybe too high to for them. You know, somebody that could, yeah, but. But if you trade back.

Solid to do that going forward. Like you said, you. But if you trade back. Solid two's you got going forward. Like you said, you need another, we don't need another combo guard with De'Aaron Fox. You need somebody who can put the ball in the hole next to him. So, ain't a bad look. But the one thing that Dylan Harper could be good at, cause De'Aaron Fox is a scoring guard.

He's De'Aaron Fox, we getting 25, 28. Oh yeah, he's a bucket. Dylan Harper is a scoring guard, but he can facilitate. So if they look at him as like a guy that can be a, and he gonna be our point point. We don't let De'Aaron Fox run around and do his shit. Then it's different. Nah, I actually like, you brought up Derrick Quinn.

I actually like him better than everybody that's available. Damn, yep. For the Spurs. I like him. I like the big from, I like the big from Duke. I wouldn't take him at two. But just to give. The African?

Yeah, to give Wimby that ability to play the four. Right, cause Wimby's skilled as hell. Obviously we know he can play the five, but when he play these teams with some bigger, like even though he guard yogis pretty well, whatever, but just to have a chance to stretch the floor, still have a big that can bang and athletic. He ain't a bad pick too.

Most definitely. I wanna ask y'all about this, some of the kids going back to school, a lot of the NIL has to play in it, you know what I'm saying? Shout out to Carter, man. Good choice, my boy. Going back to Pettiford, going back to Auburn,

something that stopped my standing drag. Ah, I wish he would have stayed. Mm-mm. He was gonna be a late first round pick. Yeah, go kill. Go kill this year and be a top 10 pick. Yeah, he came off the bench, you didn't even start. So coming off the bench as a-

He had a good combine workout though. That's good, you impressed the scouts. Now they gonna come back, they gonna have you ranked as a high draft pick next year. Oh, he gonna be a top 10 pick. Whatever it is, now you go, you gonna have a chance to have a ball in your hand and play, he came off the bench.

As a small guard coming off the bench, that's rare. You gotta be so dynamic. You gotta be Rob Dillonhill. Yeah, but I thought he, I thought, you know, that was his reason for going to the draft combine to show his shit and he went and killed all them niggas. So I thought that's why he was gonna stay. But I ain't, I mean, y'all say he go back to school.

I fuck with it. Yeah, you gotta be Rod Dillon. It gotta be so convincing that when you came off the bench that it looked crazy. Like, why is he coming off the bench? Yeah. We didn't really say that about him. We'd be like, better for it.

You know, like I said, every time I watched him, I'd be like, he ain't do shit. Yeah, I'd be like, every time you turn your head, he play good. Yeah, but he really did though. I know what I'm saying. He legit did though. And I ain't trying to hate on the kid

because I think he can be really talented. I think he really, I mean, he is talented. I think he'd be a really good player. But it's like, it gotta be so convincing. Like, man, it ain't no way this dude is coming off the bench. And it don't hurt to go back to a good team where you that dude now. So now you really get out there and get to go kill.

And you going back to two, three million dollars. True. You probably gonna get way more money than you. He gonna get way more money than he was gonna get being the 30th pick. And that's why I was talking about the NIL stuff. You got a lot of kids who were drawn for the draft. It says like the lowest they've had as far as declaring

because why would I go to NBA and I'm possibly second round pick this NIL? I'm getting the meal plus I'm gonna stay where I'm at. I'm gonna stay here and hoop out. You got kids getting 2.5 on the low end. You got 19 pick, you taking home 1.6. And after taxes, you got 100,000 there. Yeah, that's true.

But I'm about to get three million from Auburn. After taxes, I'm still a millionaire. And I get to go shoot whatever the fuck I want to. And I'm about to get three million from Auburn. Not to Texas, I'm still a millionaire. I get to go shoot whatever the fuck I want to. And I'm about to enjoy it. Yeah, he gonna go rock out for sure. Oh yeah, go kill them fucker. I mean, it's off-tempi. He's gonna average 20.

He's gonna have fun this year. He's just so smart, I didn't know he was that athletic. He's super athletic. God, please. Yeah, he done this shit. Yeah, he got a lot of bounce. That's a damn more athletic than I was. God damn.

Bro. Even Carter Ness, I mean we know that he's a hell of an athlete, but this whole shit, he was doing that workout, I'm like damn. I been. He needed to come back to school though. Yeah, he definitely did. He got an old man game.

He needed to come back to school. That was a good decision. For sure. Boogie Flynn going to Florida since he on that, that's fire for him. Cause he about to get to go hoop on the polished team. Yeah. I hate it though.

You hate it? Me too bro. I fuck with him as a player, but I hate he went to Florida. He not no foreigner to me. He's more of a UConn player to me. But that's just my type. Not this UConn.

Not this UConn. Nah, you talking about UConn with Jake O'Connor. Yeah, but I'm saying though, a team like that, like he needs to, I don't know, I don't think he gonna be able to get his shit off. He gonna have to play team basketball with Florida. But what they did with O'Briar last year, you know what I'm saying?

He got to get his shit off all year and had the bigs. Maybe he's seeing that mode in my art. Shit, he got to do whatever he wants to do. They got other people coming though. Like the kid from Princeton or wherever he went. He going there too and he was a scoring guard. He everything number 20. Yeah.

And I ain't mad at him going to Florida. It's just like, I've never been a team to go with the wave. Like Florida just won the national championship. They lose, dude. I'm about to come fill in his spot. And if you don't perform like dude, it's gonna look crazy. You know what I mean?

Like dude, just- Especially you that type of player. Like Boogie, you straight, bro. You can go anywhere. You don't have to pull up like that. It's like pulling up like KD. You gonna have to fulfill them shoes, bro. You know, they had that bread ready for him too.

So everybody, hey you. You got faith in, hey, you gotta face me, boy. You better who? Because Clayton just took us to whoever his name is. Wajah Clayton. Yeah, he just took us to the chip. Wajah Clayton was a singer? Yeah, I guess. That nigga used to be old, but I don't be knowing no more.

Shout out to Rick Pitino and Ayona, bro. Damn, oh yeah. He just took them to the chip. Yeah, and he cute. Got some tough shoes to fill, bro. Especially that next year. Fresh off. And we in school just repeated before,

so we got expectations of doing that again, possibly. I ain't mad at him, I ain't got a bag from him. I can say, but he probably threw that duffel at him, I can't be mad at him. I ain't a bad school to go to, it's just that to me, you gotta pick where it'll fit you, though. You gotta think also Arkansas brung in two guards. Yeah, he couldn't go back home.

Yeah, they took, what's his boy, Acuff? He from Michigan, Detroit thing. And then they had brung in the kid Malcolm Thomas, I think. Yeah, but you don't think they had no loyalty to us? Nah, he said they coming here. Malik Thomas. Malik Thomas, yeah. Malik's American. He's special. You talk Thomas, yeah. Malik Thomas, he's special.

You talk about the point guard. Yeah. That's my uncle. Yeah. Malik Thomas was my favorite player in the EYBL session last year. And OTE. He played like a player that you would fuck with.

That's what it is. And OTE. Malik Thomas, you get all the love on this show from me, brother. He is dynamic. Dynamic. That roster spot was filled. Obviously, Carter, you see he could come back home,

but it was the guards' spot. The guards filled. And then he still got my boy that's been there, his nephew damn near, DeWine Wagner. Yeah, he's not going to Wagner, still there. Damn, he still in school? It was crazy, he's only a junior. Yeah, he's only be a junior.

I mean, I know, I just thought he'd have been gone though. Shit got different man, the last year in Kentucky, yeah, we were for sure. But it's just crazy, it's like the NIL money, like you gotta damn right get that bread. I ain't mad at people for it. Like you said, the downplay, you go to an organization or another school

and it get wicked boy. Now you ain't got that orderly. It's cool to go get the money, I'll fuck with that for sure, I'll get that paper, but you just don't want to get cold, bro. Just don't want to get cold, man. I don't know. I feel like people got a game plan for you now.

Like, oh boy, that, whatever his name is. Tally Pettiford, yeah. That's when you know if you like that or not. Everybody got a game plan. Like, if you one of them, you know it's a game plan. Everybody coming you one of them, you show, you know it's a game plan. Everybody coming back to guard me, you know that. Every time I come in here, they gonna double team me.

Like Walter Clayton, everybody know he can shoot. Game plan is take him out the game. But if you really like that, you beat that. It's like the NBA, we all know Shay Gilder Alexander is about to get the ball. And he about to go into this move, He about to do this and he still killed. The game plan is a game plan, but you gotta beat the game plan.

If you like that, now the ones that ain't like that, the game plan will take you out. If you got boxed in one, I remember one Steph Curry, people used to box in one Steph Curry when he was at Davidson, did not matter. He was playing with nobody on his team went to the NBA. Not a soul. They got real bad.

And that was wicked. And he still was cooking and he was like that. That shit look like a cheat code for sure. You got Boxing One, it was like that. Yeah. Damn. I don't know. You get Boxing One, it's still killing.

You really like that. You're getting Boxing One in college, you good as fuck. I got Boxing One. I ain't even saying it like that, but I was just thinking about it like, cause you playing with all people who, at some point in their life, was the guy. But damn, I'm like, how the fuck was they boxed one on you

and you had a whip? Yeah, NC State did it. Damn. Yeah, Maryland did it. Cause Todd, I mean, Todd, I don't know if he really got, you had a whip bro, you had James Farooq, he played with some shit. Yeah, we struggled shooting though.

We struggled shooting. You know what I mean, like we had athletes. James was a good athlete, Farooq athlete, Isha athlete at that time. They, you know, we didn't shoot the ball well. I was really the only one that shot threes like that. And I didn't shoot like a crazy amount of threes, but I was like the only one that really shot threes.

Was you 40%? Come on man. I live my life. You was 50, 40, 90? I don't know if I was 50, but I'm for sure 190 from the free throw launch. I was probably like 75, 80 in college. But I for sure was 40 from the 30.

I'm full of that. But we ain't shoot through we wouldn't have a three point shooting team like that. I'm gonna ask you this question. What should the average NBA player be able to shoot from their free throw line? Like percentage wise. 80 bro.

At least 80%. You say 81? Huh? 81% from the free throw line. The 80% sphere? Yeah. Okay. But you gotta understand, I'm showing love.

And this is, it's gonna sound crazy. It's a pause though, but I'm trying to get y'all real basketball. People hands in the NBA, they be like three times our size. Oh yeah bro. So when they get their basketball in their hand, that shit be looking like a tennis ball in their hand.

You know what I mean? Like, and they be trying looking like a tennis ball in their hand. You know what I mean? And they be trying to shoot a tennis ball. Imagine trying to shoot a tennis ball a bunch of times from free throw line. That shit look crazy, bro. Shaq look like he's shooting skittles. Man, you know what I mean?

Shout out to Lethal Shooter, he be shooting it. That shit is crazy for them to try to make, I understood it. When I used to see some of the players on there, I'd be like, why you can't shoot free throw? They'd be like, man, it's a little ass ball. That's why I come in, bro, Kawhi Leonard. I don't know how he do that shit.

Bro, that, pause, that nigga. The Kawhi Leonard hands bros are retarded, bro. Kawhi would smack the shit out somebody, bro. Nah, facts. But I'm saying for him to shoot a basketball so efficiently like he does is insane. They're having to leave Midy with motherfuckers oven mitts like that, bro, it's crazy.

Like Dr. J hands for us. Bro, it's like two of mine, bro. Bro, I shook his hand with his back, his motherfuckers scraped my wrist, I said damn, bro, it's like two of mine. Look at that's how you was doing all this. I no wonder he was up and under doing that motherfucker like this.

They grabbing the ball, like when you can grab the ball out the air with one hand like that, that's good. That's what they're doing, bro. This is literally how they look at the basketball, bro. The fact that we said Dr. Dre and then Mike decided to compare himself off camera is really out of pocket. I don't got up.

I don't want hands that big, bro. You know who else's hands was like that? Ray John Rondo. Oh yeah, oh yeah for sure. That's why they used to say you couldn't shoot and all that shit, like his hands too big. Ray John's supposed to be 6'8 bro. Swear to God.

His arms, what was that, what was that at his house? I said bro your hands are passion needs bro. And that nigga wear like a 14, 15 foot look. I'm like man you supposed to be 6'7. Nah, facts bro, torso little as fuck. Shout out to my nigga Ray Shaw, man. That's crazy man. That's crazy, man. It really do, man, that shit really different.

Like, at the game yesterday, somebody was looking down and one of the old players came up, it's like, damn, Rick Smith, is that tall? Like damn, Dale Davis, that's how I'm like, yeah, bro. These are fucking abnormal human beings who are playing basketball, bro. It's crazy, bro. All you average niggas at LA Fitness,

y'all be going too far with your disrespect, bro. I don't understand, that's why when I be seeing people like a Nate Robinson or Isaiah Thomas or- playing basketball bro. It's crazy bro. All you Arabic niggas at LA Fitness, y'all be going too far with your disrespect bro. I understand that's why when I be seeing people like a Nate Robinson or Isaiah Thomas or. Special bro. Like even Spud, Wedd, Muggsy Bogues bro, y'all understand how talented and gifted them dudes are to be going against them big ass giants.

Who else was smart in the league when you was there? That you can remember, you ain't got to. Earl Boykins. Earl Boykins was like 5'3", 175. A bucket. You played this Earl? Yeah, probably like 160. He used to get buckets though.

Buckets, bro. No way. He used to bust niggas ass, bro. Buckets, bro. Earl Boykins was 5'3", bro. He was little as shit. I've never seen him in real life. He had to be like, if he was anything,

he was 5'5", 5'6", at most. Yeah. Short as fuck. 175 and 5'5", it's crazy too. Strong ass money. I ain't, if he was anything, he was five, five, five, six at most. He was short as fuck. 175 and five, five is crazy too. Strong ass muggs. I ain't gonna say he was 175. He might've been like 155, 165, but he was strong.

He said he bench pressed 300 pounds. He the second smallest player ever in the world. How tall was he? Five, five. Yeah, I would say he was little as hell. Who was the smallest, Muggsy? I posted him up. What was that?

Damn. Hold on, what? I posted him up one game. Like, I went to the block, like. Oh my God. Nigga, he five-five. He stood up on you though? I didn't score.

Yeah. But I went to the block, like I drove, you know how you, I drove trying to go by him. Yeah. And he stayed in front, I just turned, like. And he was just right there, he was like. But he was so little, I could shoot over him. Yeah. But it wasn't like I was moving him and he was just right there. He was like, but he was so little I could shoot over. But it wasn't like I was moving.

He was strong as shit. He was just like. I mean, yeah, nigga, five-five, I'm gonna go and you definitely go to the block. Yeah, but he was so short. You ain't moving him, boy. The reason I could guard Earl, cause he was fast, he was quick,

but I was just as fast and quick, but I was six-one. So he would try to go by me, and I'd be there and I remember one game, he just kind of was quick, but I was just as fast and quick, but I was six one. So he would try to go by me and I'd be there. I remember one game he just kind of was like, his voice was little as hell. He had like a little voice, like his voice fit him. He was like, oh, okay, okay, I see what you're doing. You keep the play a little bit. And then the next game he midded me to death.

He was sitting all mid. He said, bing, off the ping-a-roll, bing, bing. I was like, damn. Earl Boykins bust your ass. He did not bust my ass. He was like, at that He said, bing. Off the pick and roll, bing, bing. I was like, damn. Earl Boinkens bust your ass. He did not bust my ass. He had like, at that time I was only playing like 10 minutes a game. He probably had like six points in my 10 minutes.

So I guess that's busting my ass, but he had six points. He was in Milwaukee. I remember seeing him for 20, 30, 18, 15. Yeah, he was in Milwaukee. I threw his shit one time though. Cause I mean, y'all know Josh Smith, he gonna gas you like, that little nigga gonna bust your ass.

All right, you keep fucking with Earl, man, that nigga nice. Cause Earl and goddamn Denver, fired. Look how little he is, he little as hell that he might. He little as shit. He was hoping low top one. Was he?

What is it? Nah, it's probably some other stuff. The Steve Nash joints. Cause I'm about to say he go to, if he who put it a was, low top. He was a, he was a wizard. Yeah, he played the wizards. He was playing for Milwaukee.

I just remember his golden years with Denver though. Yeah, he was killing in Denver. Baby Blue Drazzy, bro. They had all the extraordinary backup point guards, him, Andre Miller. And I was just thinking about if you played against any small boys. I hated Andre Miller, bro.

Goat. He was so good at basketball. YMCA legend. Oh my God. He used to pick you up for it. Pick everybody up for it. Andre Miller one of the best point guards that ever played basketball, bro.

You gotta ask real basketball people, you can't just, the fans can be like, Andre Miller was ass. I remember Andre Miller, he was definitely nice. He had a great run in Denver too, diggit? We used to have a back and forth from one of my old group chats who was better between him and Sean Libeson,

cause my homeboy from Pure, so he loved Sean Libeson. He was like, bro, two of the best back and forth guards ever, I said, bro, they both cold for sure. But Andre Miller, Andre Miller wasn't no backup until he was like year. Oh yeah, until later history. 14. Who you taking though, Dre or Chauncey?

Chauncey. I gotta take Chauncey. I'm gonna take Chauncey. You're gonna take Chauncey. But it ain't, it ain't there. It's there. It's there. Andre Miller was like.

They used to be, me and my niggas used to be Andre Miller and Chauncey. Like, Shadoshan, Shad was a killer, but that was all right. I'mma take Chauncey because he shot the three better. But Andre Miller, bro, that post up, his passing ability, and the nickel was slow as fuck. Bro. Like, you wouldn't even think he could play, bro.

He like looked like your wild cousin. Like, man, give me the ball, man. Give me the ball. Give me that shit. He the only guy at the YMCA, bro, that always get picked up, bro, because me the ball, man, give me the ball. Give me that shit. He the old nigga at the YMCA, bro, that always get picked up, bro, because he got G, bro, coming in with that bend, looking like he just came off the bottom,

and he's on dog niggas, bro. He bigger than you? Yeah, yeah, he probably like 6'4". Yeah. But he's like, his ankles was hurt, knees hurt, he ain't brush his hair when he about to play, and all of a sudden he just be hooping. For sure.

That's funny, man. We bringing up all the old niggas that everybody fuck with. Cause I remember we brought up John Salmon's other day, and then I ran across the Hall of Fame, and I was like, John Salmon, he was low on fire. And then he was like that, bro.

He's a random ass NBA player. I swear, he was nice, though. Fuckin' John Salmon. I sure loved the niggas, he was nice. Nah. But that's what happens, though. We talking about all the old players who grew up on this, to the young niggas, they like, they old,

the KDs, LeBrons, they don't care about them no more, bro. They care about the new wave, bro. Basketball perpetuates, bro. Who really the new wave? No, that's the real question. The new wave is SGA the Wave. Gotta be. Gotta be, bro.

He saved basketball for me, but gotta be. He the MVP, young MVP too. I love SGA. I just think it's the, I think it's still Jai, Lamello, AE, I think they are the wave. I think they the wave, but I don't think they How to play basketball, SGA,

but how many people are showing kids how to play basketball the right way, I don't know. Everybody a trainer these days, bro. Yeah, trainer, if you work out with a trainer every day, you probably ain't gonna be that good. I don't know why kids don't go play five on five basketball outside, bro. I heard KD say something really cool,

the meme clip or something like that. I think I know what you're trying to say. Yeah, when he was talking about how he got better when he was in the NBA. First four years in the NBA. About playing five on five better. With everybody two, three times a day. That's unheard of, bro.

Cause that's how you learn how to pass, learn how to get open, how to create space. But when you play one-on-one with a trainer all day and then you go out and try to play five on five, it's nothing wrong with doing skill work, but if you do that, it's all you ever do. When you get out there, you're gonna try to do your one-on-one moves

and you ain't gonna realize, oh, it's all you ever do. When you get out there, you're gonna try to do your one-on-one moves and you ain't gonna realize, oh, it's another nigga standing right here. It actually moves. Like, you know that cone don't move. He actually like reaches at the ball and shit. And then they wonder why they can't get their shit off. And it's like, well, well, tell them to move out my way. Well, they not gonna move out your way.

They like, they play basketball too. It's okay, they was like, I played against all shapes and sizes because you got to get a real feel for the game. So even the sad niggas that foul all day, I need that. You know what I'm saying? So I can learn how to counter at least. Yeah, you got counters now where kids is coming in doing five dribble combos.

That is never gonna happen in a real game unless you are the star player. I wonder if there's any kid in the world that like hosts an open run. You know what I'm saying? I feel like we used to all just, even if you was going to your friend backyard, like, hey y'all we hooping today at seven, pull up.

Kids don't play basketball like that no more. That is really a loss of art. And that's why I think basketball is watered down, bro. Yeah. Kids don't play basketball. Everybody plays basketball because of what it can get you. They don't play for fun, what you saying? Nah, it's what they can bring you. Yeah, like, oh, I'm about to play on the EYBL circuit

cause I'm about to get all the gear. People gonna be there. People gonna know me, I'm gonna be lit. The clout, all that. They don't play basketball just cause they like playing basketball. Damn. You know what I mean?

Like, you know what I mean? Like, you know, I work with kids, so you never going to hear a kid, hey coach, can you just open the gym so we can hoop today? I mean, coaching every time, I've never heard of somebody say that. You think they look at it like work? Yeah, it's like, damn, oh my God, we got to go to practice today. Oh my God. Like when we used to go to practice, I used to be hype.

Like I used to hate doing the drills, but like when we about to play five on five, I'm tired. Like some kids now when it's time to play five on five, it's like, they're too cool. I heard, this is for, I heard some kids, I'm just out and about, I heard some kids say, hey, I'm not hooping today, because I had two games.

I played three games this week, so I'm gonna take a day off. Damn. And I was like, damn, man. I would have never, I didn't take a day off till I was like 30, 28, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, and when I was in the team, what?

Y'all hooping tomorrow? I'm there. No matter where it was though, y'all hooping tomorrow? I'm there. Like I- No matter where it was though. Y'all come fresh off of AAU tournament out of town. Niggas pulling up to Butler, Northwest, wherever. It didn't matter, y'all hooping. It's gonna be some people that are hooping.

Let's hoop. Target and Park is dry. Every time I take my babies to my mama's house, it's little bros, nobody at the park no more. Yeah, we definitely the old niggas saying this, but outdoor basketball is completely dead. Oh, that's over with. The kid would never. They would never, but that's where you find,

that's how you learn how to play. That's why kids can't pass now. Facts. Because they ain't playing with no old heads. It's like, nigga, give me the fucking ball. Yeah, bro. If you don't, and if you don't, I'ma beat your ass or you're not gonna play on the score.

Yeah. Or you think we ain't picking you up no more. Yeah. See, now all the kids, when they do play with old heads, they come out there and shoot and they be doing all, trying to get their shit off and niggas be like, man, he dead, he not playing no more. We not picking him up.

And then they dare, their dads or their homeboys or parents being the stands like, man, we done drove all y'all, let him get a chance. Like now when you a young game, you gotta play defense and pass that motherfucker to the older dudes and then they might give you a shot. Like shoot that young fella, that's the one for you. Oh my mama.

It's a picket order. No matter how good you are. And I wish you would call a foul. These kids be wanting all these, I wish you would call a foul out there. Man, what? You call a foul, bro? They cuss you out.

And I mean, I know we didn't have trainers like back in the day. I just want to give a shout to my nigga though on the pod. Like my nigga James Phillips, that's how he learned how to hoop bro, when we was kids bro. He was literally eight years old playing in the grown man dust bowl bro.

Killing nigga. So by the time he got to high school, he was, the shit he was flooring, I mean the streets grabbed him, but that's how niggas really learned how to hoop, niggas growing up in our area for sure. I played with my dad every Tuesday, Thursday, and on Sundays he would pick us up.

Yeah. Like on his team, like, come on. And he would cuss you the fuck out. Like I didn't understand, like that was my dad NBA at that time. Them Tuesdays, that Thursday, that Sunday. That was everything to him. So when I came out there not playing defense or not,

you know, trying to do my shit, he would be like, I'm not bringing no more because I'm tired of watching this shit. Like, no, no, no, no. And they had to lose and get off the court because of me. Oh, I'm going crazy. Nah, for sure. Like, he, Boog said the same thing.

He used to take me to play with Dora with a nail. So that's different. Kids, I don't see that no more, bro. It ain't really no. It ain't, I'm not- You gotta get that problem shit going back again. I don't want to sound like an old hit, because I'm not an old hit, but the love is like,

it's just a different love. It's like, you care. And you wanted to be good just cause you wanted to be better than a nigga from your corner. Like a nigga you grew up, like man, James Phillips is nice. I'm like, shit, let me, I'm gonna be better than that nigga. I swear to God, when we run into them,

I'm killing that nigga. It wasn't like, I wanna like, shit, I'm gonna be better than that nigga. That's for the guy, when we run into them, I'm killing that nigga. It wasn't like, I wanna be good so I can post it on Instagram, or I want a scholarship, or whatever. I just wanna be better than the dude from my neighborhood. And you know what I'm saying, it's like, nigga, I'm holding my neighborhood down. Niggas from everyone in threes, bro,

we about to dust these niggas. They about to come to my neighborhood and get us out of this court, bro, it's crazy. I wasn't even thinking about the people in a nation. I'm just like, man, I gotta be the best player in Indianapolis. We ain't even had no internet or nothing. I'm like, damn, my nigga, we used to,

I said, bro, we hoop every day, bro. You a 11, bro. It's 25 year old niggas that cannot fuck with you, bro. These niggas who played in college, cause of Dustbowl, all the old niggas they used to hoop, used to come to Target Park and run, bro. He'd be dogging niggas, man. So, I don't know.

Like why? Why I don't got one? Like I'm hating. The niggas is trying to work on their own. And that's why I didn't have friends. I'm being for real. Like all them dudes, like now that I'm older and I see them, you know, you try to say what's up,

but it was never like love. Like James Phillips, like we grew up playing against him. Them niggas didn't talk to me. Dre Sherman, all them, they didn't talk to me. Like, I used to be like, fuck them niggas. Like, I don't give a fuck. And you know what I mean? I'm about to kill y'all niggas.

And then they would- That's what they was on to? They would never be like, well, so we'd be at Nationals, nigga. We the only teams from Indiana. And it's still like, nah. Nah. Like you'd be like, well, so we'd be at nationals, nigga, we the only teams from Indiana. And it's still like, nah. Nah. Like you'd be like, we up, we up play.

Nigga, mean streets, nigga. And they keep walking, like, I'm like, if Sterling Davis was on their team, I was the only one he was cool with cause we went to school together, I'm like, Sterling, Sterling, man. Sterling was like, what up? I'm like, man, what time y'all play?

Sterling don't do too much. Yeah, damn, that's how they was. Cory Torres and all that. Yeah, I know my niggas. I know my niggas. They were fucking with us. Stay over there. Yeah, I swear, but that's just how it was. Like I would have never ever in my life posted

any of them niggas. I can give a fuck. They could have had 25 offers from the best schools in the country. I would have been like, yeah. They did it with the offers. But oh, good shit, boy. I see you.

I'd be like, man, nigga, sad. Well, and I feel you, bro. But the only reason why I kind of fuck with is because you just, all the kids are just crash outs these days. So they show a love to each other. Nah, that's a fact. It's productive as fuck. I'm saying from like a competitive nature though,

like, I'm like, man, he number one? Fuck that. Like, I'm, I'm a better, I bust his ass. I ain't gonna be like, oh, you got ranked number one. That's hard, bro. Keep killing. No, fuck him. Yeah.

Like. But that's why I like Ann and Ja, and Dame Lillard and CJ McCall on me. Cause they got that in them though. It's always competitive. It's love, bro. But fuck you in between these lines, bro. I want your spot.

But for me, that's why I had friends. It was fuck you all the way. Like. Yeah, even off the door. It was off, it was bro. I want your spot. But for me, that's why I had friends. It was fuck you all the way, like. Yeah, even off the lines. It was off, it was everything. I could, it was the part. I didn't have friends because of that. You didn't have a switch. I didn't, I didn't have friends.

Like, Phillip used to be like, why you do that? You know, Phil, everybody like Phil. They're like, where everybody? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Phillip used to be like, see, you make people not like me because I hang with you. Like, we hang out every day and people think you a asshole. I was like, man, I don't know.

And Philly was another killer. Yeah, like J Mix, that's why I mixed my nigga, because Mix will ride, like I don't give a fuck. Oh, you know, he knows. Yeah, like fuck him. Like, because we be in a glitter game, I'm like, yeah, bitch ass nigga. And you know, that shit hit different.

You know what I mean? When we fuck, that hit different. So after the game, they like, was that shit you was talking nigga? Vic's like, fuck we gonna ride. Like every time. And I wasn't gonna ride with Mix. Niggas in club between, he's like,

yes I was a bitch during the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you know, you gotta keep it basketball. Like nigga, get the fuck out my face. Nah. Well, I can't say. The little dude Tyron Stokes is definitely you. Cause he crashes the fuck out.

He cold. He's cold, but I hope that don't catch him too cause he talks dusty sticks. But I love that competitive nature though. Facts, facts. That's a separating part nowadays man. Like you said, in a non-competitive world, the ones that send out this little OD,

they look different for a reason bro. Yeah. Do y'all think the NBA is competitive? Hell yeah. Yeah, it's super competitive. And one thing about it, niggas in the NBA, you competing because you competing for something different though.

You competing for a check. Like everybody, so you want to live. You like, shit, I'm about to feed my family. So that competitive nature is something different in the league because you trying to feed your family. Cause I just ask y'all because the old heads was talking about how it's too buddy buddy. I mean now cause-

Too much love like- You know every generation before, they may feel like the generation after them is too nice. It's just a real signal of time. I ain't, when you get to the league, you don't gotta be like that no more. Cause you gonna naturally like nigga,

I'm playing cause nigga I gotta feed my family. So when I get in between these lines nigga yeah it ain't fuck you. I'm gonna play competitive cause you might be on my team next year. Yeah. Literally. Like you know what I mean? Like so it ain't fuck you. I'm just gonna be super competitive cause I'm gonna do my job cause I gotta get paid.

Like when I was growing up I didn't think about getting paid. It was fuck you cause you said you was better than me. Blah blah blah. Now somebody be like yeah you foulin bitch ass nigga. Quit foulin blah blah blah. It's like fuck you because you said you was better than me, blah, blah, blah. Now, somebody be like, yeah, you foulin', bitch ass nigga. Quit foulin', blah, blah, blah. It's like, fuck you, ho ass nigga. And you just keep playing. And then after the game, good shit, nigga.

Like, hey, watch that bitch ass shit though. That shit, you're gonna have to chill with that, but you don't give a fuck. But that's how me and Paul George was. He'd be guarding me. I'm like, you sad as fuck, you soft, nigga. Blah, blah, blah. He'd go back and forth with me.

But I told you, I couldn't cut it off. So when we got to his team, when I came to his team, I'm still, bitch ass nigga. Like, you know what I mean? I remember what you said. Lord Jesus, that's what it was. Cause we was competitive against that. Like, I couldn't turn it off.

But then when it was time to turn it off, I couldn't turn it on. It'd be nice and shit. I fucked it up, all right? So that was, we hear it now. I will tell y'all about my real grief with the Pacers. Cause everybody was like, why he don't root for the home team. Here it is, guys.

This is why I don't root for the home team. And it's not that, I told you, I'm not a fan of nobody. I don't have a fan of the team. But when I was with the Pacers, that was my favorite year of playing basketball, I always tell y'all that. This is true. On the court.

Yeah, on the court. Paul George wanted to be traded. Well, he didn't wanna be traded. He did the baseball game. Yeah. Said he was gonna be a Pacer for life. And it came out, a report I read after. Yeah.

So I had talks with Kevin Pritchard and them, they like, okay, you know, we're gonna bring you back. Not that we agreed on a deal or nothing, but you know how you just talk. They like, yeah, okay. At that time, they couldn't pay nobody. I was the only player that could pay because of the rules, how it was.

They had my rights, I was the only player that could play. And at that time, Drew Holliday was the only player that New Orleans can play. So I was in a complete like, whatever Drew Holliday get, I'ma get. You know what I mean? I'm like, I'm gonna stay with the Pacers. They ain't got no point guard.

This is like the perfect thing. So I'm like, I'ma take less just to stay at home. I don't even gotta get what Drew Holliday get. And we had the same exact stats down there. And when PG said he didn't wanna be here no more, he said, we gonna be tanking. We about, he said, we gon' be, we tankin'. We about to be ass, we ain't gon' get nobody, we gon' trade PG, we love you, Jeff.

It was fun, like, I'm sorry, we gon' go in a different direction. Nigga, they trade Paul George for Ola Depot, it's a bonus. And nigga, they are definitely the top five team in the East. The reveal, Johnson KB. I'm in Minnesota sick. Like, the guy could have been at the crib with them niggas

and they play how I wanna play. They play it fast, it looks fun. T is a bonus pick role with a fed generation. What? I was hurt. I was genuinely hurt. KP and Durham were in for it. Ever since then.

Ever since then. I've been mad at KP ever since then. And you know what he gonna tell me when we played in Minnesota? He was like, I didn't know I was gonna play like this. You would have been perfect for this team. I look at the nigga like, I ain't got over KP. I forgive you now. You my guy, you know what I mean?

I'm gonna ride for sure. But I genuinely think KP said that from a genuine place, bro. No, I'm not. KP did exactly that. I know you're not mad at him. I'm just ride for sure. But I genuinely think KP said that from a genuine place, bro. No, I'm not. KP did exactly that. I know you thought about it. I'm just saying, really, when he thought about it. We did not know that Big Roll Deep was about to be

an All-Star on year one. Nobody knew Vic and Sabon was about to come here and be that. And Clown, bro. He didn't even expect that, if I'm being honest. Then we stole Bogie for a crazy pick. Yeah, we got teed up real quick. Yeah, he didn't even expect that. It's funny.

He was a part of that. Yeah. But like when he did that, it was just like. Traitee get better. They like let me walk. And like, he just told me like, bro, we not even try. We can't, he literally said, we can't pay you 20 something million dollars a year.

It was gonna get him bad. I was. He was like, we can't pay you. You can't be, he literally was like, you can't be the highest player on a bag. I was. He was like, we can't pay you, you can't be, he literally was like, you can't be the highest player on the team. I was, I really saw that. I said, oh, that nigga fit the clamp.

I told you, I told you. I was like, guess what I'm about to get, guys? He fit a clear hundred. My nigga was fit a clear hundred smooth. I remember that. He was like, you cannot be the highest player on the team. I'm thinking back to the Rocks or two.

We have to be fair. I was gonna be a trade PG, you would definitely be the best. I would the highest paid player on the team. I'm thinking back to the Rocks or two. We have to be bad. I was gonna be the highest paid player on the team. That's a true story, y'all. There's no cap. I would have been, by far, the highest paid player on the team, averaging only 17 and 17. Niggas, you know what's so funny about this nigga? He's telling Peezy, come on, man, you gotta kill him.

Come on, kill him. We gotta get on same page. What'd I say? I text that nigga like, come on, Kim. Come on, Kim. We gotta get on San Pedro. What'd I say? I texted that nigga like, make sure you gonna be damn near MVP. Can't nobody fuck with you. Oh, God, I'm at the baseball game. Y'all know I ain't even fuck with money like that.

I'm at the baseball game hitting. Like, yeah. That's some real shit. We gonna be all right next year, my boy. I will never forget him doing that interview at the softball game. He didn't want to be in any flight report. Paul George from Crush the Train. I said, God damn.

Cause I don't count on my hip hop cause I said, damn, I'm about to clear a hundred. Nigga, I went to the baseball game. You know, we got like, we got kind of cool at the end. You know what I mean? Went to a couple of parties together and it was cool. So I went to the baseball game, but all intentions to be like,

I need to know if you're going to stay here. So he told me, I'm like, man, you staying, you know, just you staying this motherfucking right? I bet he's motherfucking love you out here. Look at this shit. He like, man, I can't leave this shit. I'm like, yeah, man, you going to be MVP, man. I see that shit, bro.

I was like, no, but remember, I started doing remodeling my house. Yes, bro. I was like, yeah, I'm gonna start the remodel on my credit. He was like, there was another remodel on the way. I started to remodel. Next thing you know, Jumpty. I was so confused, I didn't talk to him for like two weeks. I forgot what I was doing, but I'm like, this nigga's going to the temple. 50 cents, 50 cents, 50 cents.

I was like, I'm gonna go to the temple. I was like, I'm gonna go to the temple. I was like, I'm gonna go to the temple. I was like, I'm gonna go to the temple. I was like, I'm gonna go to the temple. I was with the Minnesota Chamberwars. I was so confused, I hadn't talked to him for like two weeks. I forgot what I was doing,

but I'm like, this nigga's going to the Chamberwars. 57 million? So fuck is that? Like I got all the money in the world, but I'm saying that's just the insight I knew what he was about to do though. So that was what my- That shit crazy, bro.

That's some real shit, y'all. The first thing about this is, look at the finals. PG is the reason why both these teams been in the finals. That Trey got us a bonus, and that bonus Trey got us our franchise. And that GA is an OKC because of PG. Mass Effect, shout out to PG. You helped everybody but me.

This is the perfect time to insert better help. You need therapy. Better help, oh. We gotta, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta get some better help. I need therapy. Oh, I do. I got therapy already.

Nah, I ain't do it. So why you shoulda used that boost mode with yo KP? What's up? PG said he here, what's up? Man. I wish he woulda just waited til like July. If he coulda just let me sign that shit, I would not give a fuck.

I would be like, damn, man, y'all can trade me at the Deadline, man. I don't give a fuck. Boost my open that nationwide organization. It works in Indiana and Minnesota. Yeah, I was like, y'all can trade me at the Deadline, bro. I get it, bro.

I can't be the high-paying player on the team, bro. I feel you, bro. Go ahead and trade. Those conversations would be so funny because people don't really understand. It's still like a workplace environment at the end of the day. Even though it's a lot of money involved,

it's still a workplace environment. Shout out to KP though. He was, the one thing I'm joking when I be like talking shit about the faces. I was hurt because I wanted to stay at home, but he was always honest and real. Like when a nigga tell you, you can't be the highest player player on the team,

you can only respect it. Like he was like, yeah, I like you. Like you can't be the highest player on the the team. You can only respect it. Like he was like, yeah, I like you a lot. You can't be the highest player player on the team. No. I was just like, respect. I can't. They should have made a way though, bro. I wish.

Like, you know what I mean? When we was here, I ain't do too much. But even when I got to Atlanta, I didn't know all the shit you could really do until I got like 27, 28, and you like, damn, you could spend that much money in a night. Like, babe, I ain't never know that. Cause my best did a good job.

Like, I never paid for none of my first two years. But when I started realizing how much a table could be, it was a hip hop awards. Never forget hip hop awards. And the table was $10,000. And you, that stuck in your head. And I said, somebody's paying $10,000. And you, that stuck in your head. And I said, somebody's paying $10,000 to sit in a section that I paid for yesterday for $1,500.

They gotta do something. I liked it, I like college football last year. They gotta do something. I liked it, it was cool.

It was cool, I ain't gonna hate it. Nah, what's this, what's this? The big adjustment between playing that and Madden. Yeah, like Madden was so different to play. The reason I like college football though, cause it made you feel like a kid. But like, you know how we play the game, it was, nigga, you can run the ball back and do crazy shit.

Like Madden now, it's so damn realistic. You try to be really, yeah, you gotta damn to be really good. You could damn to be sad and NCAA and win. Cause you could do some fluky shit, fumbles, all type of shit. It was like a video game. See, I like it from the point,

I ain't gonna lie, cold, another cold motherfucker say, well this high school, but that nigga Jeremy Finch from our city, bro. Shout out to Jeremy Finch. I really thought he was gonna be up there.

If my man, bro, would have made it to the NFL, I really think he would have been up there with some of the greats, for sure. Now you talk about, you going to that Miami team, I'm trying to go fuck that Florida team. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

But he was on that team with all the killers. T-Bow, Palsy Twins, Airman Andes, with all the killers. That's the wrong word, God. Well, they did it. But. There's free documentaries. Nah, but shout out to J. Finch, though. He made that team, they had a word, God. Well, they did it. But. There's free documentary. Nah, well, shout out to Jay Finch, though.

He made that team, they had a whip, though. They had a whip. Urban Meyer, bro, had what the wildest program popping at the South. I would have definitely fucked the Florida Gators there. Never with my type of team. I'd probably like the LSU player. I would have went to LSU.
