Well, I didn't meet you and how I found out who you were So we playing in Little Rock on the Hill, Arkansas and we make it to the final four We end up making it to the final on the side court. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, you should you be about 60 So we come on the court we got a little reversible Jersey. We just starting to get our foot in the door We Andy heat but we ain't really Andy heat and you came on the court and you was like What the fuck we about to play? What the fuck is this? I'm like, who was that? They like

That's coach Conley coach Conley put me to size. That's my baby best player in the country. I was like fuck him Coach comes like no, it's gonna be fuck you He can play and he's real good. We gotta be locked in. I bring the group and he's the best. You gotta be locked in, man. The first play of the game, you go through the lane, dunk that bitch, it's over.

I'm like, oh yeah, this shit done. Fast forward, I meet him at ABCD camp. We on a plane, no bullshiting, never forget it. Paul, you got some big ass feet. But Nolan Smith feet bigger than yours And we all flying back somewhere and I look it I'm like this nigga feet big as hell you heard me you like Yeah, that he got some big-ass feet. Look at look I'm like yo this nigga crazy. This nigga, I ain't gonna lie, I know this nigga had like an 18,

but his shit look crazy. He like my height bro. I was like, he could never be fresh bro, with those big ass feet. Those shoes look big. The size of his teeth is nine foot longer. Big as shit bro, some Adidas was big as hell.

But that's how it's known. Known like six foot with those big ass feet. I swear to God, I can't make this shit up. That's crazy. All right, man. All right, that's fine, my bad though. I ain't know y'all was trash. I was just, it was y'all jerseys.

We just had a bad day, bro, we wasn't trash. We had a bad day. Nah, yeah, it was just y'all jerseys, you know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna lie, like, I was just y'all jerseys, you know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna lie. Like, we was that team. Nah, y'all was. We was the jerseys, right? Yeah. But then, you know, we started whining a little bit.

A little. Then they just started fucking with us. And then, you know, it probably got to my head a little bit because then when I seen y'all with the fucked up jerseys. That shit was trash. I remember that shit too, because we was some big ass bleachers behind. Yeah, the one and a guy, yep. Yeah I remember that shit too, because I was some big ass bleaches. Yeah,

that's it. Yeah, my bad. No, it's all good. But it worked out for you though. It did. It quite it didn't quite work out right there. But Spies had when Spies had any Spies had my first time playing against them? Yeah.

Now this was some bull shit. We bring fucking Anthony McClain, seven footer. So we like, all right shit, we about to play Greg Olden. It's Greg Olden, fucking Daquan Cook. Mike Colley. Eric. Eric, I think Mike Colley might have left. Nah, Michael.

No, it was there. Jackson McRoberts was there too. Listen, listen. We bring Anthony McClain to like, just to scare off. Greg. You know what I'm saying? And this shit working.

We play him in pool play. Nigga, they fuck this over. This one. Or we play him in pool play. Nigga, first. This one. We playing pool play. First play of the game. Our point guard, Ray Brewer, go to the game. First two plays, he go lay that motherfucker up. Greg Olen smacked that bitch on the backboard so hard, the ball almost went flat. And then y'all started to break, they went boom, boom. So I went to Ray, I said, Ray, if you lay that, bro, you got to go in there and throw that motherfucker high, bro. That

ain't gonna get that shit, right? All right. Did that very next play, nigga. He smacked that shit on the backboard again. Boom. And this time it bounced right before half like right after half court Yeah, right and I seven footer down I'm saying like I seven footer like So it bounced I said put on nigga They go on cook You grab this ball from half court

That shit one time. All seven footers was sitting there. Both hands up. Man, he dunked on that nigga. Three point climb. Had that nigga. Arms all rocked around that nigga. Boom, nigga.

And we lost about 40. That was the first time I was like... Who was different for sure? Nah, nigga. Who was different? That nigga, they, Shawty. But nigga, I'm glad we did that to y'all. I'm just kidding. I'm lying to you.

I was circle moving. That was your get back. I was circle. That nigga took it out on us. I wouldn't even let that take me. He's like, I can't get somebody from that. So that was your sophomore year? Freshman year. When I played Greg Oden, it was my,

it got ahead of my sophomore year. Sophomore, yeah. My sophomore, my junior year, when I first played Greg Oden, nigga. That's when I first realized what a man was on the basketball court. He was a monster, bro. All the way up into the NBA.

Before he got into the NBA, I remember game planning him, when he was in the heat and him and Joel Pritzbiller is like nigga, whenever Greg Olden catch that motherfucker on the block, nigga, oh I say nigga too much, don't I? No, I say nigga too much. No, this is, this is a bitch word, bro.

But whenever Greg Olden catch that shit on the block, man, it was a monster, but I'm glad that shit happened like that. I don't know how to part, by the way, so y'all gonna have to. You're talking about the hot crazy, that 07 class, especially Indianapolis, man, and you was at the top of that class. We always regard that as one of the best high school,

like that's one of the best. That class don't get no respect because all of us didn't hand out in the NBA how we was supposed to. You know what I'm saying? Kinda did though. Cause if you look at it like James, James, MVP, D-Rose, MVP.

B's talking about like Bill Walker. Had a crazy name. You know what I mean, coming up, Bill had a, Bill was one of the ones. Look at that class and for what we know it for. Yeah, that makes sense. 18 year old, 19 year old, a 25 year old couldn't get that same feeling,

looking at that same list. You know what I'm saying? No, I get what you're saying. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Just because we didn't really, you know, it was most of our faults. You know, all right.

But, nigga, you remember OJ Mayho stuff. Yeah. Exactly. I've never seen him before. Exactly. Bruh. OJ was like, he dunked in the seventh grade. Nah, we from Indiana, he was living in Kentucky. Yeah, we all about that.

That seventh grade mixtape, him waking up on TV. The best thing I, he was like, OJ was the best motherfucker I ever seen with a basketball, like, I remember, I remember my first time going down to town we were in the Memphis, me and KD, and we watching, I ain't like, me and KD. And we watching. I ain't like I know nothing from nothing.

Like I'm like, I'm for real a hood nigga that just grew when they told me to come to the gym. I'm saying so me and KD first time playing together. I like he always studied the game, who he was watching, who he is. So I remember the first time we in the gym and he just watching who he was, you know what I'm saying? So I remember the first time we in the gym and he just watching fucking OJ. And I'm just I'm just I just didn't want to be there at the time. You know, so I'm I just paid attention.

They jump off. All right, this motherfucker. Man, that nigga was nice. I'm just whatever you wanted to do. Pull up left, right, dunking, spin. Bro, and then you had Bill, nigga. Killing. Oh man. Crazy teammate, bro.

But yeah, that old seven class, it was. Yeah, I see what you're saying, cause Johnny Flynn in your class. Johnny Flynn. Oh my God, Johnny Flynn. But I feel like if you make it to the league, I know it's like you're supposed to. Yeah, like we made it.

Yeah, I'm saying we made it, bro. 100%. That's a huge accomplishment. He said y'all ain't supposed to have that extendo career. Everybody that was at the top was supposed to have that extendo career. We was supposed to have at least five of us, eight of us still playing right now.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like that's what that class was. And it was partly like a lot of us came up in the wrong era. Like we came up in an era to where it was tight. Like when I came in the league, stretch four was Udonis Hazard. Yeah.

15 footer. Yeah, facts. And it's like we really needed space to work. You know what I'm saying? We weren't really on, it wasn't no fast break game. It was a half court game. 85 point, 90 point games a night. You know what I'm saying?

That was 140, 130 like, you know. He was ahead of your time for sure. So a lot of us came up in the wrong era and a lot of us didn't have the coach. Like, it wasn't a lot of player coaches, a lot of not player coaches. It wasn't not a new school player coach. Nah, it was old school.

Old school coaches. So, system back. You gotta earn your strength. So like my problem was, my problem, like the same attitude I had with Spoh my first two years is the same reasons I congratulate him and the same reasons I call him one of the best coaches is because that bubble year, he didn't let them young guys go. You understand? But we just came up in that era where, and Spoh

was a rookie, he was a rookie coach still listening to Pac-Man. A lot of us came up in that era to where it was the coaches way, you know, you understand? And we just wasn't able to. We was one and done. And at that time, it really meant something like that. That we was young, we was 19, you know, still just babies. Speaking about coaches, how was it playing for hugs? I never played for hugs.

I mean, not hugs. What What's your Kansas State coach? Frank Martin. Yeah, Frank Martin. Frank like Hugs, Tom Stanton. Damn. Man, Frank kick. I remember, I ain't gonna say his name because I don't want to embarrass him.

But it was our point guard at the time. Jacob. Pulling? No, I'm just saying because. I'm sorry. I'm trying to embarrass you., I'm just saying. I'm just trying to embarrass you. But I'm seeing you. Damn, y'all had a whip at Kansas City.

No, but Jake, Clint still was our starting point. Jake was coming off the bench for us. But I remember Christmas, Jake had his family in the stands. So he was trying to do something, trying to sauce it up and shit. Frank told him one time, like man, we ain't doing that dipsy-doo shit, man. I don't care if your family or not, man.

What a play. So he went on 10 minutes later to do some shit again. But I told you, man, you trying to impress your family. You got one more time. 20 minutes later, bro, all, bro, you know what? All right, you want to do that dipsy? You and your fucking mother and your, get the fuck out of my jail.

I'm just going to kick the whole family out. Nigga, I was just like, damn. You, you already your mother, I was, oh, you do that dipsy-doo shit in the parking lot. I was like, God damn. You out. Hey, those are my film. Hey, Coach Wilder.

Coach, where is you? I said, yeah, Coach Wilder. What made you pick Kansas State? Delante Hill. OK. So when I first started playing with DCSO, I ain't getting the game. Like at all.

I was playing by Chef Green. Damn. You was playing up like a motherfucker. I never played. You know? But I was playing up, but I was playing by some, you know, Justin.

That's a notable name. Dante Cunningham. I was playing by some. Prospects for show. Yeah, so I just watched them niggas the whole summer. And D. Hill was just on the bench with me, always working out with me, always getting my extra shots and all that.

And I just told him like, wherever you go to college, that's where I'ma go. Just cause we built the relationship. He got the job first at UNC Charlotte. And I ain't gonna lie, by the time he got the job, I was all, I wanted to think about college cause like 18 months later, I was not one of the country. They was NBA, this NBA.

So I was, I wanted to think about college. By the time he got the job, every, I'm talking about my nigga, my mother used to hate the letters coming to my house. And I used to hate them, because the first one I opened, first one I opened, I think it was Billy Donovan sent me a letter.

And that's just a, Joe King Noah, average, like, .5 points his freshman year or some shit like that. And that was the number one pick. Oh, wow. And I looked at that letter and I said, I'm not going to college. Joe King Noah is crazy.

I mean, he was at Florida. So, you know, I'm from Florida. So my Joe came to know I ain't really play his, it was some, he ain't play his freshman year, but now he the best player in the country. Yeah. You think I'm coming in to not play, man? So I didn't want to do the recruitment thing.

So I just, I just committed to UNC Charlotte, which was a low D1 school. Yeah, I remember that. That's crazy. I was like, he getting paid crazy. Nah, I ain't get paid, I just ain't wanna deal with the- Yeah, I mean now- The street blood.

Yeah. Like, you understand, like the niggas, you know, the only motherfucker that was real, for real, was Hugs. Hugs still. That's why I know that was your man. That's why I make sense. Hugs still a part of my family to this day.

Yeah, that's real. Like everybody, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, he sent flowers to my mom's funeral and that type of shit. But like all the rest of them niggas was just fake. Just, you know, and I ain't, I just ain't wanna do that shit. So I committed there

and I was just gonna go straight to the league. But then they changed the rule in 05. So then I had to really think about it. Before I can even think about it, Hugs got Tater K. Stase, so I just knew that. It wasn't no like, picking, I was really gonna go to Memphis, cause I found out, like when Hugs left,

I wasn't gonna go to West Virginia, I just knew that. Cause I'm from DC, we don't fuck with each other. So I just knew I wasn't gonna go. And I didn't wanna be close to home. So when hugs left, I was gonna go to Memphis cause I was just, it was the hoop summit. I was just down there and it just turned into an unofficial visit.

And you and D-Rose at Memphis. I said that was. So I was gonna go to Memphis and I ain't gonna lie, I swear to God, I was committing that night. But Frank Martin walked in the motherfucking, gangsta shit. Set me down, talked to me in the lobby in front of all the coaches.

I'm like, yeah. By the time he was leaving, I was like, fuck that thing. I'm trying to go to the job. He let you rock too, boy. What? Yeah. I ain't even saying it because you here. Because I always put, like, Mellow,

my favorite college player ever. Like, bro, you was really dynamic, bro. That shit was Frank College, bro. It was Frank. I mean, it was me. That was you. Because I do what I do now. My favorite quote, the quote I live by is, that what you do most is what you do best.

You know what I'm saying? So, I sharpen my shit up every day. But the older I get, the more I realize it's up to the coach to put you in a position. It's up for the coach to let the players know when you're going to shoot, basically. I'm out there and the play is for him, and we want to play for him, but I see a shot. I better make that fucking shot because you got two niggas over there setting the down spring, and then you got them, you understand? You got them off of the head of the ball.

You know what I'm saying? So if I don't make that shot, who we got rebounding? Who we got rebounded who we got your stand so Kansas State man, I got the coat Frank my first meeting with Frank he said bro We gonna have practice at 3 o'clock He's he's so you want to do whatever you want to do at night do it sleeping go to class

Right you stay out my way. I'ma stay out your way. Real. And that's how I went, you know? He told me what to do on the court, whether I was rebounding or whether I wasn't getting no blocks or whether I wasn't scoring, every time out. Like, bro, you ain't doing this, you ain't doing that. And I just go out there and do it, you know?

And that's the respect I wanted in the NBA. Like, no coach, no coach told me what to do. It's like, I'm the best goal you ever seen, but it's like, all you gonna tell me is play defense. Like that shit pissed me off at one point. Like, my fourth, fifth year in the league, I ain't wanna play no more. To me, when I see you in college,

cause you probably don't even remember this though, I went to school on Winston. Y'all played Winston-Salem State. Oh, I dog-jotted. Nah, I didn't go there. You dog-billed niggas. I remember it. You had 40 and 20.

Nah, I remember why though. Yeah, why? The first half, I had like maybe like nine points. Yeah. And going into the half, one of the players blocked my shot. And right before you passed our locker room, he's talking about Beasley, ooh, that nigga trash.

And I ain't hear it. But my coach came in there and was like, Beasley, ooh, that nigga trash. And I ain't hear it. But my coach came in there and was like, you know, he was like, and Brandon Underwood, he white, but he ain't white. You know what I'm saying? And so he didn't even tell me exactly what he said. He like, man, he said, ah, he didn't say the word, but he said, ah, woo, woo, woo.

And I was, I got something for you. You know, so I just went out there and I just didn't like that nigga. Bro, I can't even remember his name, like Jamal or something, I don't know. I can't remember his name, but I remember he said Beezley who? And I was like, all right.

I'm sure. We were at Wake Forest, so when some state game is on, we just watching it. We all in the locker room, we watching it. And you know, it's me, James Johnson. We all freshmen like him. We like, I'm like, nah, bro, this nigga different, bro. watching it and you know it's me James Johnson we all freshmen like him we like I'm like nah bro this nigga different bro like he playing like March Madness

this ain't real bro. For real the reason I was so good in college is because I lived through so many ways. He was a monster. I worked on my game, but nigga, my weight coach, Scott Greenwell, bruh. He had me, like my max and college was like 400. Like smooth shit. Are you trying to be a wrestler, nigga? Nah, like he was, like he was, he used to train for the World Strongest Man Award.

He's out of pocket. Bro, if you see him walk, like he work out every day until he earled three times. Like the sickest shit you ever see. Like he don't stop working out every day, every day until he earled three times. Bro, he broke his neck and didn't know it. You know what I'm saying? For a week, like he in there working out one day.

So next day we came, he putting us through the workout and he just got a quick in his neck. You know, just walking around all day with a quick. But he putting us through the workout, and he just got a quickness now. Just walking around all day with a quick, but he putting us through the workout, spotting us and all that. Just got a quickness. Man, before the game, he asked our trainer

to rub it out for him. Like yo, just see what you mean, you can rub it out. Man, he go rub this side, then go rub this side, then go rub this side. And he like, bro, where your collarbone at? You know, bro, his collar, like bro, nigga, strong. You know what I'm saying?

And I'm talking about, bro, he had, like, he, like, I think that's the difference between a great player and a good player. That's the difference between LeBron and Paul Drews. That's the difference between Yachty's and, fucking, I don't want to disrespect nobody, but, you know, that's the difference between Yannis and, fucking, I don't want to disrespect nobody, but you know, that's the difference. That's the difference between a good seven footer

and Yannis, you know what I'm saying? Yannis, I seen Yannis every day, he gonna put 200, 250 on there, he gonna get his hip bridges in. Young guy, young guy. I seen that, I'm about for that. I'm proud for that. I'm proud for that. Hey, I'm talking about he be putting weight

that you ain't supposed to be lifting and something about he gonna get his shit in. He like, and just the older I got, you know, I think that's why I'm so good now because I take it serious. Like I got to the NBA, I didn't take lifting weights and taking my body as serious as we should. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I agree, I didn't take lifting weights and taking my body as serious as we should.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I agree, I didn't need to. All right, and now I see like I'm older, like if I don't like lift right or stretch right, but my back be hurting now, you know what I'm saying? I feel that. Like that's the difference between like

what I was doing in college and what everybody else was doing in college. Like we was like, like our game, our game days we had lived. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's true. It showed, you was a double double machine. It was December 2019 when the story blew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packer star Kabir Vajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation.

Hey GB, explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked, voila, you got straight away.

I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiral'd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, here we go.

You think you the greatest, like that season, you think you had the best one and done season?

No. Who you think had the best? KD. Yo, neck and neck. We looked it up. I would say outside of Mellow. I gotta get it up. We don't count Mello. The reason, like Mello did what he did, right?

And this is why I think the argument needs to be categorized. Because Mello had a great team. Yeah. You understand? Mello had. K. Ward, McNamara. McNamara, Warwick, you know.

Me and KD, like. We had a young team, they was young though. Yeah, young team and individually, like we was just out there giving y'all, you know what I'm saying, like me, with me it wasn't even a score. Like you go back and look at that, yeah, like I rebounded more than I scored, you know what I'm saying, most of my points came off offensive rebounds

and with offensive rebounds and face up jumps. You know what I'm saying, KD? KD was him. But he had DJ. Like even still to this day, I don't think I scored that well. I think I can put the ball. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Let me explain. I ain't about to do it. Let me explain. We just had a whole pool about you. No, no, let me explain. Let me explain. Let me explain. I'm not about to do it.

Let me explain. I'm not about to go with this shit, man. No, let me explain. All right, I've been being nice now. I can score a lot. A lot. A lot and well. Like, you know what I'm saying?

Different. Like, we just played, we had one dude in the big three, he said, I'm staying in front of him. You said, stay between him and the basket. I said- No, no, no. So what happened with that then? What's your excuse for that?

No, I don't know. What you score on? Let me get it. Let me get it. Stay between him and the basket. Make him make tough shots. He said, he hitting every shot. When I watch me play basketball,

I don't think it look cool. I do. When I watch KD, I think he look really cool too. Like, you know, one of my favorites, one of my favorites, Jordan Crawford. When I watch him play basketball, I, like that's one of the reasons I be working out

like I work out, like how you get your legs to move that way while your body is moving? He be throwing shit that I be like. Yeah. Bruh, if I can do that, bruh, y'all be in trouble. But you so aggressive, bro, and your wings spinning so long, and you a lefty, and it's like you go both ways.

Y'all don't even know why I'm so good. Y'all don't even know why I'm so good. I'll tell y'all why. That's why we got you here, though, but I'm saying though, you sleeping on how- Because I pay attention to footwork. Footwork, it's footwork. It's all about footwork. But you're a three level scorer though. What is that?

But he been scoring- 3.0 midi is crazy. He been scoring on a high level since- Yeah. I just told you what he said. Yeah, but like my game ain't like nothing pretty to watch. That's why people don't- But you still get a bucket though.

I got like, you know, I got a smooth, I got a professional game, nigga. I'm gonna shoot the jump shot in your face, one dribble to the counter, one dribble to the- Nah, you lying, cause I just watched your, they just had a video of your Knicks highlights. And it was crazy. See, Knicks- See, look, bro.

Knicks, nah, Knicks, ah, it was- Look, look, look, bro. Nah, what's up with that video? serious. Look, look, look, bro. They just had a video, you know. I told you we fancy you, bro. Let me tell you about that, let me tell you about that, C. So I started the season off average in four points, right? Like four minutes, like four points in like five minutes.

Tim Hardaway got hurt. And then I was like, like maybe nine minutes. And I was like, bro, I swear, bro, I've gone hard in practice, getting my extra shots and you know, I went to Kurt Ramos, shout out to Kurt Ramos, that's like one of the, like one of the only coaches that like resonated with who I am, right? I went to him, I went to him on one game

and I say, I say, bro, what is it, man? Like, like, yeah, and I curse him out. I say, bro, man, like, that's your nigga, bro. Like, fuck now, I'm gonna beat both of y'all up. Like, you know what I'm saying? But he know how I was, he know how I was, but. He like, but he's like, at I said, bro, that's your nigga, bro. Fuck now, I'm gonna beat both of y'all up. You know what I'm saying? But he know how it's, he know how it's. He like, but he's like, at this point, bro, just make him look bad for not putting you in.

So I just remember in New York, I just remember like, I'm just, every time I go out there, I'm just gonna throw my whole bag out there. Like, I chewed a New York like this summertime. Nah, you did. I chewed a New York like, summertime. Nah, you do it. I treat it like, like, pick up, like. The highlights showed that. Like, one of the highlights is like,

oh, B's is coming in, you know, Bucks is like, Walt Friedrich's like, yep, it's a quick 12 about to come up, like, I was like, damn. Yeah, so, and then, but it ain't work. That's what pissed me off. Like, bro, that shit ain't give me no more minutes. I could like, like smooth shit. Like with Paul Zanguis and Tim Hardaway and Courtney Lee.

I could have made that a playoff team. I was playing out of position. If they had played me two guard fronted with, if I were the two guard fronted with Jerry Jack, you know what I'm saying? Everybody played me as a four because of college. I've been playing out of position my whole career. You played me at the one, two, three. I'm bigger, I'm better on defense.

Now I got somebody to play pick and roll with. I could have fucked the pick and roll game up with Kylo Quinn and Kristoff Pozingas. But Jeff Ornicek was on the hot seat and Pozingis didn't really know how to play good basketball, like winning basketball. So that's trash. But like that's in New York. I was I just read that shit like the fucking sometime. I was just thought you was a pure fire forward.

That's why I say you was a three level score, because watching you hoop now, it's like, now he really a perimeter player that can do both. Yeah, that's what that's that's. So that's why I didn't play in Miami my first two years. Because Spoke wanted me to be Carlos Bouza. Damn, I don't even see you as no booze. Bro, every, like nigga. You was ahead of your time though.

Every practice I used to watch for hour, two hours, Carlos Bouza and fucking Carl Malone. And I used to tell them, like bro, even if I get that much weight, for hours, two hours Carlos Buza and fucking Carmelo. Like, and I used to tell them like, bro, even if I get that much weight, like my shoulders not even that wide, like I can't be that big. You painted that the white hard dog. Yeah, it's like bro.

No he don't, no he don't. No, somebody else don't. Nah, hold on y'all. Wait, wait, wait. What he just saying? What he just saying? Talk about it, talk about it. What you just saying?

What you just saying? What you just saying? What'd I miss, what you just say? No, I said you gotta, they wanted you I'm talking about the rules. I'm talking about what you just said. What did I miss? What did you say? No, I said you got a, they wanted you to be built like the White Howard. No, what did you say, though? That the White Howard died. Yeah, you don't want that. You don't want that.

I'm talking about what you talking about, Carmelo. Carmelo was the biggest motherfucking NBA nigga. No, no, no, no. He didn't play nobody like Carmelo. Now, when I went back to the, when I went back to the Heat with LeBron, I got on LeBron now. Shit, what was that? Bruh, I ain't gonna say that.

I ain't gonna say that. I ain't gonna say that. I ain't gonna say that. I ain't gonna say that. I ain't gonna say that. I ain't gonna say that. I ain't gonna say that. I ain't gonna say that. I ain't gonna say that. Now when I went back to the heat with LeBron, I got on LeBron now. Shit, what was that? Bruh, I ain't gonna say what, but I don't eat three times a day.

I'm on one time, two times a day. I skip breakfast, I fast a lot. But that's it, I was eating three times a day. I was like 250. I'm talking about body fat, 5%. I was like, go back and look at them pictures like when I was next to them. How'd you feel on the court though?

Bro, like a brick wall. And you feel like it worked though? Yeah. I ain't like, I ain't feel as saucy. You know what I'm saying? My jump shot ain't feel as fluent. Yeah. But, no, I ain't feel as saucy, you know what I'm saying? My jump shot ain't feel as fluent, but I ain't never get hurt.

That's all that matters now, shit. You know, but I like playing about 245. I'm trying to get you an MVP, so I'm trying to be MVP next year. You gotta call Lonzo Ball, Lonzo got a new knee. Got the knee beat. You gotta tap in. I need a new knee. Oh, what you need, a new knee?

Yeah. What happens to your knee? And the hip. I need microfiber surgery, Oh, you need a new knee? Yeah. What happens to your knee? I need microfiber surgery, but I ain't gonna never get that, so. He don't wanna sit down for a couple months. Yeah, that's why I quit playing. It's like, it's some ways you can heal your knees. I feel cool now, I train now.

Like the way I broke my foot in September, and I can tell people now, cause like I ain't want nobody to know. Cause I ain't really get back on the court until like, like maybe six weeks before this big three season. Like you know what I'm saying? See you always stuntin' on niggas. Oh for real.

So you ain't even trained, so now you're gonna be P'ing this train. No, no, no, I was training. That's what he was saying. No, no, no, I was training. We got some board next year. Big boss we got some board next year. Don't worry about it. Nah, it wasn't like that. No, no, no, I was rehab about that. We got some important next year. Don't worry about it.

Nah, it wasn't like that. No, no. Nah, I was rehabbing like, bro, like right before the season last year, I was about to go to China. And you know, I was out LA playing and I stepped on KD Foot. Oh, okay. You know, I don't know why, bro. Like, I mean, we was playing and the play before I contested him.

And when I was contesting him, I was saying to myself, I've never been here before. I've never been this close on defense before. I remember saying that to myself. Cause I don't like, bro, I ain't no hard defensive nigga. So I just remember, I just don't, I just felt like I was up there five seconds

while he was shooting the jump shot. Hit him in my face and I'm like, pop. So I'm just like, whatever. All right, next play, the same thing, and I just came down, bro, pop, pop, nigga. My shit shot it. Lil Durk was in the jail, I was crying. Like it was the first time I meet Lil Durk,

he seen me, I was trying like, I always thought it was gonna be a gangster situation when I meet him. You know what I'm saying? I was like, I don't know. Some gangster shit, you know, maybe in my hood, here's a shooting a video or something. I don't know, just not crying.

Me is an old black crazy. I got a sick scene for you, dirt. Like, nah, man, I was crying, that shit was embarrassing. But, like, dog, I thought it was over, so like the rehab behind that, it was supposed to be a three, four month, because I ain't need surgery,

but it ended up being like five, six, seven month rehab, because my dorsiflex wouldn't come back. You know, so like, I really like, just like, just do what I do every day. That's why I was laughing downstairs. And I hope this come out after the game tomorrow. Cause like literally, like I've literally been doing the same move all season long. Like the same move. I was like, I be laughing. Like I told, I told my man before the season, I said,

bro, I'm going to burn these niggas up with the same move all season long. And they ain't even going to realize it. And nobody realized it. He gave me besides me, go get to the clip. I locked him up and I told him, when we was guarding, I said, this is what I've been fucking waiting for. Only reason I've been. Hey, bro, I caught him at that free throw line. I ain't want none of them.

No, you ain't scoring me. No, no, you got me on the block, but the free throw line, I caught you. You ain't scoring? On the clip. I rolled the clip and he didn't score. I said this is what I'm doing. You ain't going to do anymore.

You dunked him in the head. I had 30 points. I would have fouled the shit out of him. He ain't going to dunk me. I would have fouled the fuck out of him. You ain't no anymore, you dunked him in there. I had 30 points. I would have found the shit out of him. He ain't no dunker, I would have found the fucker. I'm seeing the box score. Oh, he killed. Yeah, he got it. We won though.

Yeah, Trey O. We were supposed to win that one. What's that point? Y'all won. Y'all ain't even win, we lost. I ain't never heard that. We lost. Y'all heard juice going off on your teammates after that one.

After that one. Oh, nah. Too many side steps. Hey, I told you, nigga. Moog hit that first side step, right? Yeah. I said, man, he ain't going to hit that all night. Man, he can't hit that two times in a row.

He liked that. Moog hit that motherfucker five times. Nah, he liked that. That's his move. He did it to bring the fire. I'm like, I'm about to fuck that nigga. He's like, nah, nah, nah. That's his go-to move, bro. That's his go-to move.

That's his go-to move. That's his go-to move. That's his go-to move. I said, oh, you came to play tonight, huh? Yeah, but I gotta stop on B's, you know what I mean? People get like a lot. If his body wasn't so fucked up, they would've had a better year.

Why his body fucked up when he don't work? He's just, he don't do drugs. I ain't know he was a hood nigga. I thought he was a professional. You thought he was a square? I thought he was a square, he was seven. I ain't never meet him in person, you know what I'm saying? Walk by, you know what I'm saying?

And he quiet, so I just, you know what I'm saying? I'm from the one side of the map. And he still professional, he cut it off, though. Little square, though. Little Braxton in there. I ain't no braxton. I ain't no braxton. I'm pretty hard to break.

My boy not gonna get to that chicken though. He's surprised, he's surprised. I ain't know he's that cool. Especially when I start watching the podcast. Cut morning shit. Cut morning shit. Show man, like we said, one of the coolest ever scored basketball.

Who are some of your favorite scorers? Obviously, you know, we see you. We'll miss you, KD, for sure. Do they gotta be famous? Nah, hell nah. They could be people back from DC, bro. You wanna show some love to. Kurt Smith.

One of the DC, like, one of the best I ever do. Mid-range killer. Like, what? Oh, shit, who? KD, of course. I remember, like, I remember when me and KD was in practice, I was probably 10, 11. Talk about how you met him, too.

What you wanna, I met him too. What you want to know? I met him? Yeah, both lives you wanted to know. We wanted to hear the origin from how you and KD like. We met at gym. I met him at practice one day. Yeah. The pizza story is true.

Oh, okay. But it's not that true. So. I took half the box. Oh. Oh, okay. But the people I took it from, they had their slacks too. Respect. So that's why the whole piece was gone.

But I remember I got that, I thought they forgot about it. You know what I'm saying? But I took the piece, like my mother got a roof, she said don't come home or don't come in the car if you ain't got, you know what I'm saying, for everybody, I got four or five brothers and sisters. If I came in the car, one slice of pizza. So I had to come with half the joint,

and my mother, I still got pop because I had the pizza in my hand, like this. No lie. Like a bankroll. He outta pocket. That's some really shit I heard. You feel it now? Yeah.

That's how I feel. Yeah. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. They boom with that. I'm gonna get it. They rock. They fuckin' over.

No matter where they at. They're about to see me in my shit. Like for real, I really had to fuck over KD because I didn't want to whip him. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you.

Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you.

Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you.

Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Fuck you, fuck you. Like I told this, I said this before, like KD was the first time I ever brought my Xbox out the house, like KD was my man, like I was his nigga, like my mom used to pick us up from school, his mom used to drop us off, like if I ain't got a ride, I'm catching a bus to his house. Even his brother Tony, man, me and Tony,

we used to kick it, like no, we just grew up like that. Like if I'm doing something messed up, his mother gonna pop me, and you know what I'm saying? You know? And it was just, it was never basketball with us. You know, like, on the court, when, like, when I first started playing with KD, I was trash at basketball.

Like, I was trash. He was always the one. Yeah, I can just rebound. Like, every game I had 30, 40 rebounds and look, wherever Kevin was at, dog, I'm talking about 20 offensive rebound, I'm throwing that back, you know. Same way he play now, since he was nine, 10 years old, I'm talking about half court, letting that joint fly.

And that's just how we, it's just be fun. We win games, we go home, play video games, we break somebody's window. I remember, bro, we was in Florida, and I ain't gonna say, but coach, me, KD and coach was wrestling. I jumped on KD back. KD flung me back, man.

I flew through the God damn window. I ain't done. I still got the gas, I still got the scar on my face. And damn, KD was like, but it was just another basketball for us. We was just my nigga. I hold him down, he hold me down, we in the gym. All like, nigga, that shit was my nigga. And we just happened to be good at basketball. Me and y'all both just happened to be tall as fuck.

Like how the? Like, but he said he started off rebounding though. I know, just think about it, like my nigga is field, my nigga is 5'11". Yeah, like, I don't, yeah. Like, they split me and KD up by the time we got like 13. By the time we got to the eighth grade, that's when he went to the blue, that was I went to a soft.

Soft, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I was gonna ask you how, why y'all split up? It was, at the time me and KD was kids, we ain't know. We just did what our parents always do, you know? Yeah. High, high sight is clear, you know? And whoever got to, hindsight is clear, you know, and whoever got to whoever mine first, whatever,

like, bro, we ain't had shoes. We was poor, man. KD ain't, we ain't grow no money, no shoes, cars, none of that shit. So you know, whoever had to pay shoes for us or had a better situation for us, and you know, and I can't speak for his situation. I just know my situation personally. When I met Curtis Malone, I was wearing the same pair of shoes for two years.

And they was too small. And that nigga showed up to my house with five pair of shoes. I said, oh yeah, I'll be at practice tomorrow. Yeah, legend. It was similar to that. That's my legend. Dropped like $20 on me the first time I seen a $20 bill.

They had a doc on him. He showed a lot of love. Yeah, he did some good things. He did some bad things. Nah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It ain't up for me to judge. Yeah, but he kept all that away from y'all though. He was still a good person.

He kept, you know. Yeah, he did, he did. I'm just saying though, he really took a like into y'all and loved on y'all like y'all was his though. Cause I'm here. Nah, we ain't gonna go that far. You don't think so? You got kids?

It's that last bit. Yeah, I hear you. So. No, I hear you. If what I'm doing for you is not what I'm doing for you? Nah, genuinely, 100%. If I can remember every time, if he can remember every time he got to stop

when I got 30 points, that mean he ain't gonna get locked up. Shit, if you only going to one time, if you only one time, one time, you gonna do the same thing. You can remember everything you did for me when I was growing up, you know what I'm saying? You're on to tape. But you know what's crazy?

Now you talk about it. You want MVP, I'm doing the same. How has the season been so far in the big three, man? Y'all obviously know what I'm saying, contending right now. You want to be real with you? Hell yeah. Can I be real? It was easy.

You gonna say it's easy? Oh, the basketball part is easy. Yeah, I'm not talking about that part. Basketball is easy though. Like, I'm gonna tell y'all when y'all can get as good as me at basketball. Okay, tell me. When?

Cause I locked you up, so let me tell you. All right, all right, all right. How many times you kicked your toe on the dress at home? Like you got it right? Thousands of times, for sure. Okay, how many times you kicked your toe on the dresser at home? Like you got it right? Thousands of times, for sure. Okay, how many times you turn around and blamed your pinky toe? That dresser been sitting there for years

and every time you got your goddamn dresser, the thing you trust your step so much that, you understand? N***a, that's how much I work on my guy. Ah, that's a hard analogy, but I stopped you. So what that mean? That I moved a dresser? That just mean that I don't worry about the court.
