I think the airball game, y'all won it but now everybody gotta fight. This is a good time. But y'all listen man we know you hoop and rap but Lance Stevenson man he put a pressure on you man. He's a seen-off rapper.
Starting point is 00:09:58 So what's up man? They say he the best rapper from Charlotte. Nah, not Charlotte but play for Charlotte. Nah Lance Cole. I ain't no problem. I thought it was way better than what I thought it was going to be. I heard his little Hot Nigger freestyle like 2014. That was cool too, but he went off on the radar. I told him, I said one day, I don't know who I was talking to. I said, but he he crawled so you can walk because he was the first one, not the first rapper. I mean,
Starting point is 00:10:23 Steven Jackson, a couple of other people, World Peace, they all rap, but he was the first one, not the first rapper. I mean, Steven Jackson, a couple of them other people, World Peace, they all rap, but he was the first one that was kind of like in a new era. Like when he did the Hot Nigga Freestyle and shit, to be rapping, it was kind of lit, and the way they did it was lit, like the videos was lit and shit, and then when you came along and started rapping,
Starting point is 00:10:39 I mean, obviously, Dane rapped too, but that shit was like raw,'m like yeah that's what I listen to. I seen the YouTube videos I said nah I'm fucking with this. When niggas got the music videos to the gas station I'm locked in. Y'all was his favorite team after that. I been fucked with the Hoarders since 2021 we locked in baby. When you start rapping? I always just loved music as a little kid, but just rapping on the lunch tables, little freestyles. But when I first got in the studio for real, it was probably like, I was like 18.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I wasn't rapping for real though, I was just still playing around. But I really didn't start taking this shit serious till like 2020 when COVID hit. That's when I dropped my first tape up to score. And after that it just went off. I was rapping with D Bacon though before that. 2019 like we had our own tape, yeah Dwayne, he a bucket. But he really got me on the music wave where I was like confident in doing my own shit. You feel me? Nah that's what we're a spotter. I mean, I call that nigga

He went to South Florida, so he told my mom, he like, yeah, I don't think I want Miles and Flint no more, you know, just because of the environment and stuff and he didn't want me around certain things.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yeah. So he told my mama and then she was like, all right, I guess I'll let him go.

Starting point is 00:18:57 and Coach was like, man, get out of here, man. Like, what was you doing? You top four pick. But with me, it was different. I was like top 10, top 11. So. Yeah. You made it work bro you got a hell of a faith nigga you got a good faith and it's smart cuz a lot of times you see people who leave after that freshman year and yeah you get lottery pick but then it don't work out y'all
Starting point is 00:19:15 developing and going in that second contract already kind of spooky yeah that's what I was scared of for I just didn't want to go to the league just to say I went to the league I wanted to actually you know make an impact you feel me so I ain't gonna lie like watching you when to go to the league just to say I went to the league. I wanted to actually make an impact, you feel me? So, that's why. I ain't gonna lie, watching you, when you came in the league, you stupid athletic. You dunk on people, got bounce lives and all that. You and LaMelo had a stupid connection.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And then I kept watching you and all of a sudden I'm like, man, this motherfucker can shoot. Because when I was at Michigan State, I seen you make threes, but I didn't label you a shooter. Like I was like, man, you not a knock down. But now that I watch you, it's like, shit, you can't leave him. He can fucking shoot.
Starting point is 00:19:52 So like, how was that development, you know, working on your shot, being a pro, and then going to the league and becoming a pro and working on your shot and stuff like that? I mean, I ain't gonna lie like Katton and say I put up a thousand shots a day, but. I put up, I put up. That's why I like this thing. I put up a whole lot of shots, man say I put up a thousand shots a day, but I put up a whole lot of shots man. I put up a whole lot of shots the show just trying to prepare
Starting point is 00:20:26 The only thing I could get away with that is Kobe saying that rest in peace rest in peace to Kobe that's what I can get away with saying put up a shot everybody else. I got some. No, I know you put it in one. That's why he deserves to be on our show. If Brock can read that book. No, he deserves to be on our show. If Brock can go read that book. If you can't you put up a G of D. That's why he was meant to be on here.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Because he tells the real he tells the truth. Nobody shooting a thousand shots. No. 1500 that's true but that's insane 1500 is nuts cat out of okay i love cats cats good people just because he's lying i fuck with that i fuck with the lies because i lie i lie to myself i tell the kids at the school at Coach Ed Pike that I worked out three times with that.

We're bringing the top GMs, top coaches, the young coordinator you're getting to know. We're going to give you the story behind the story, but you're probably not getting anywhere else. Like all-pro Jets cornerback, Soss
Starting point is 00:25:50 Gardner. You know as a defense we're looking forward to adding on where we left off last season and just continuing to get better. Like first-year Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator, Zach Robinson. Bijon, he can get his guy to ball every single play and he's gonna make a play. You see, you'll be in the front office of an NFL team one week, but the next week you're gonna be at a bar elbow to elbow with some of your favorite celebrities laughing about football like Kansas City Chiefs fan Paul Rudd. By the way, can I just point out how much I like the music of this podcast? Music is awesome.
Starting point is 00:26:15 It's like a funky beat. Listen to the season with Peter Schreger on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. So you killed your sophomore year, bro. What? When did you know at that point like you was ready to go to the draft? I mean, I knew I was going to go either way. Either way. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Yeah, I mean, I was I was just trying to just stay consistent throughout that whole year. So my my stock wouldn't go down. You know, me, I was just focusing on winning and I just carried over to my game So yeah, that's what it was Hey, and a Bishola was anywhere else you think he was gonna go. Where did you want to go? I thought I was gonna go to the Knicks room
Starting point is 00:26:54 I was I was in a little matchup me and Kevin Knox back in back in the day Damn, and they came out that cuz he was going crazy in that love. It was like a three on three six people Cause he was going crazy in that love. It was like a three on three. What? Six people in the draft. That's it. Is it six people or is it three people? My draft is a little different. I know you have to work out for I'm old. I was like, you know, he was a little late. I was old. It was six people.
Starting point is 00:27:17 It was six people because we was playing three on three and Kevin Knox was killing like he was hitting anything, half court shots, all type of shit. No exaggeration. And somebody had leaked in nails like Kevin Knox's bust miles ass boom. I don't think you coming to the Knicks no more. So after that I mean they pick Kevin Knox over me at thing number nine at number nine cuz that's where I thought I was about to go I know going to the horns, but I thought I was going to the Knicks though. Damn It all worked out. You see how you see how God worked
Starting point is 00:27:42 So the Knicks might not have been meant for you. Cause Kevin Knox. Shit. I fucked with Kevin Knox. I thought he was a good player, but damn. I just feel like playing in New York is just a different breed. Nah, I turned it down.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Why? No sir. Different breed. Boy, you not about to end me. That is a lot of expectation. You gotta be built for it, man. You for sure gotta be built for it. Yeah, I wasn't built for that motherfucker. And it's okay, bro. That is a lot of expectation. You gotta be built for it, man. You for sure gotta be built for it. Yeah, I wasn't built for that, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:28:07 And it's okay, bro, that was killing Mellow. Like, if y'all killing him, like, I was killed anybody. That's when I knew I wasn't built for it. Y'all gonna talk about him? Yeah, what am I gonna say about me? Yeah, you was gonna get talked about real dusty. You should.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I was gonna have some hella stories, bro. You got hella stories? Imagine my New York stories, bro. Woo! You got hella stories? I'm ready. But shit, imagine my New York stories, the joints I woulda had. That was outside. Outside. Charlotte, though, you more free, though.

Starting point is 00:28:44 Yeah, I was playing against John is my first game And this one this is MVP. I mean y'all are still at MVP. Yeah. Yeah, this is MVP honest like 2018 I ain't talking about Brody. I didn't say anything. See? See? This nigga's a champ. Look at Miles' first shit. That was sick. Miles was a top pick. Brody is going to be honest. This is my point. Bro, you family now. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:29:16 We just on pod. This is what I be saying to people about this Brody shit. This nigga was a lottery pick. Played against Yadis and had one point. One point. Miles was out of pocket Niggas did not speak of my rookie rookie. Okay, so this niggas picked 55th Y'all on his ass. Y'all know what the do y'all know what the 50 fifth nigga shot his first preseason game last year. No Okay, so as we walk in here they like Bronnie was one for nine last night.
Starting point is 00:29:45 You know, nobody give up. I know why, though. I know why they talking like that. No, I mean, it's funny. But for the CR, I'm as a basketball head, like to see Yanis, you go, you get one point. But to see Yanis and like see how he's moving MVP, whatever. Did that like light a fire and he's like, damn, I got to work on my shit. Yeah my shit Yeah, I knew I had to get stronger. I knew how to get stronger. I know how to get more discipline Mm-hmm fucking up the coverages. I ain't played for the next three games after that
Starting point is 00:30:14 I'm 15 in the fourth quarter against the Magic and ever since then me and Kimball was rocking this here. Thanks, thanks. Yeah I knew I had to get better. Who was the coach for Rick year James Brega? Okay, I be I fuck with him. He got he got a cool dude. I cool. Yeah Like you said you can't say Horace team with Kimber, you know say Kimber had the city on lock shot the car. Yeah How was that they walk in? You know saying to see how that was what the NBA season? Yeah, NBA third he was 13. He was dropping 60s on Jimmy. 50s on Donovan Mitchell. I was like, this thing a different breed.
Starting point is 00:30:52 No, five, 10. Kimber wanted to like, I'm glad you said like on Kimber because Kimber one of the coldest people I ever played against. He Kimber called. No, I had a chance to play with him in Boston and he one of the coolest. Yeah, those ever. So I know a chance to play with him in Boston and he one of the coolest dudes ever. So I know he was probably a super cool vet. To have him like see him doing that,
Starting point is 00:31:11 that they like, they inspire you to like, shit, I gotta work on my game. Cause I ain't gonna lie, Kimba shoot, he shoot a hella, well, I was with the Celtics. He was shooting a lot of shots. He was hitting them. But he was getting shots up. I don't know how he was at.
Starting point is 00:31:23 So at that time he was getting hella shots up. I for sure was in that corner. I was in shots up. I don't know how he was. At that time he was getting hella shots up. Alpha Sho was in that corner. I was in that corner. He was coming up the screens pulling but it was going in and he was doing his thing. So Kimba was a gun. What? Anytime he came off the screen he was shooting the ball but he was killing so I couldn't even say nothing. He averaged like 27 that year. Nah he was cold. Kimba was killing so I couldn't even say nothing. He was like 27 a year No, he was cold
Starting point is 00:31:47 One of the coldest I ever played I swear we used to trapping I Used to look at it. We came in together. You don't worry. You're gonna have a night tonight cuz we're gonna trap you Oh, you're fucked Yeah, he got all that handle game crazy He did it's a dude named Gary McGee. Shout out to Big G. I played with him at AAU since I was little.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Give well soon. Give well soon. And Kimba was in college, man. You know that step back he did with a dude from Pittfield? Yup. That's Gary McGee. That's him? Yeah, he from there.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Me from Indy. Yeah. Anderson, Indiana, but he was my guy. Yeah. Kimba ruined his career, man. He had a chance to make to the league. Kimba, Kimba dropped him in the guard. Big East championship.
Starting point is 00:32:31 That's probably the best game winner ever, like in my book. Top five, it's definitely. Top five for sure. As a Louisville fan, having nightmares of that Big East run, they whooped ass every single day. Yeah, that's shit.
Starting point is 00:32:43 That's one of the hardest championship runs, bro. Oh, for sure. Kimball that guy, man, for sure. But the fact that he had you on the corner, I had them kind of moments, man. It's all good. He was gunning you out of the corner. Learn it, man.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Like you said, though, he probably one of the best, best ever, man. He put me under his wing, taught me the game. You come to his crib and chill. I just felt like he was one of my bros. So, Michelle Kimball. Good people, bro. Great people.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I ain't gonna lie. He the reason motherfuckers call me Jett. I was about to ask you about that. I heard that earlier. What was that about? So Brad Stevens wrote up a play and called me Jett, right? This shit didn't really have no legs to Kimball. Got a hold of that shit.
Starting point is 00:33:24 He's like cause you jack you know you got that New York accent not I'm like damn nobody really had no legs I'm like every person I heard call Jet, their knees was fucked up. And my knees was fucked up. My knee was fucked up. The real opposite. So I'm like, yo, yo. Lenny, he was cracking jokes, so he brabs.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Nah, nah, he wasn't cracking jokes. He just couldn't call me JT, because Jason Tatum was JT. So he just kind of, you know, JT. Because of JT Zero? Yeah, he too, my nigga. JT had zero too, but nigga, they just, my whole life. Damn, he had zero too. And he was 55.
Starting point is 00:34:08 My whole life was fucked up in Boston. He was in the linebacker after me. He was the gift for the person. 55. What was the nigga name? He played for the Patriots. He's my nigga. But nigga, my whole time at Boston, I was done.
Starting point is 00:34:26 So that nigga just started calling me Jet. Like niggas wanted to say it to Kimba was like, yo, Jet. I'm like, yo, it was funny. Cause it's Kimba. It just kind of stuck. I was fucking with it after a while. Everybody in this comments calling you Jet now.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Everybody call me Jet. I told, how'd you feel when Kimber gun and ass look? I feel I mean, my dog Kay is here actually right now. So it's a telephone. But we went we went from like them in the ninth seed to like the 13th seed, but I Know no facts. Yeah, everything happened for a reason. How was that going from no, I'm saying from Kimber to the Mellow more of a Pass for point guard. It was good I just had to be like more on pass for a point guard. It was good, but I just had to be more on my shit
Starting point is 00:35:25 with Mello, because you never know when he's throwing the ball. I seen him throw a full court underhand pass to me, so it's definitely a difference. But like I said, I love watching Kimba, man. Like I said, I watched Kimba drop 60 on Jimmy Butler. That's probably one of the craziest games I've ever seen. And I've seen Mello have 15 assists, 16 assists.
Starting point is 00:35:45 And it's still crazy to see. So it's just like, I don't know. Now you been blessed to play with some dope point guards, bro. Because Kemba, when he was playing, was one of the dopest. And he was crazy. Like, to be all NBA in that era, that time when he was playing.
Starting point is 00:35:59 That game, Westbrook. Come on, the list goes on, bro. To be all NBA. Jet T, young hand. Nah, don't do that. I went all NBA. I bro the BRNBA. I was outside. Charlotte club. Philly club. Minnesota white girl club. Yeah, oh yeah. Keep my stay away from them niggas more, they dangerous. But that's another story here and there. But, nah, you blessed to play with dope point guards. So to come in with Kimba, all NBA, super vet, cold, and then to give LaMelo, a young guy who comes in,
Starting point is 00:36:37 super flair, a lot of passing, high expectations. People was excited that he came in the league. I mean, he had a super, super dope following. For you to get that and be a part of that and y'all to grow. And y'all look like y'all best of friends. You know what I'm saying? That's for sure, my brother. Well, no, I mean, basketball make make people closer and family for life.
Starting point is 00:36:57 So it was a blessing. Me, Mello, you know, I feel like if he's not injured, he's top three guard in the league. I'm not even being biased like just watching That's his mans right there. Yeah just watching him. He can do everything. He can do everything on the court He can do everything. He can do everything. 6'8", nigga fast, quick. Legit 6'8". Yeah like Measurements shit. Yeah and he can shoot that bitch bro.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Facts. I'm a fan of LaMela. I just want to ask him how the fuck did his brother get a new knee? They were kind of chicken, bro. Because nigga, the knee BBL. I know Kimber here too. We can just like, that would have changed my life. I still be- You didn't want the surgery. Don't do that. No, if anyone told me I'm having a new knee, somebody else knee, it would be my knee. You got a knee from a nigga in Chino Hills. Nigga, nigga, nigga.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Maybe it's some real procedures on him, bro. Shout out to his old man. Shout out to my nigga's old. Shout out to my nigga's old. I'm so happy that he playing basketball because Alonzo one of my favorite players. Nah, hell yeah. Him and Lamello, they were really, really, really nice.

Only if you listen to Spolitx, a new sports and political podcast hosted by me, Jemele Hill, a sports journalist who has spent years writing about and discussing the intersection between sports, politics, race, gender, and culture.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Join me every Thursday as I discuss, debate and dissect the hottest and sometimes most controversial political and social issues with some of the biggest names and smartest people all through the lens of sports. So here's the assignment. Listen to Spolitics on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Because on Spolitics, no one is told to just shut up and dribble.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, BB King, Miriam Makeba. I shook up the world. James Brown said, said love. And the kid said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event.
Starting point is 00:42:36 What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation.

Starting point is 00:43:26 Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down to history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't never heard them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day,
Starting point is 00:43:41 and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?
Starting point is 00:43:56 Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

Starting point is 00:48:20 If a show changes your mindset for show you for sure going to like just anything to win type shit. Like any role they want you to play. Well, in my case, you know, cause we got two young killers, we got Melo, we got B Mill. So for me, I'm not saying I'm taking a back seat, but at the same time I know my role with the team. And certain niggas, they don't get that rush,
Starting point is 00:48:42 but I'm at the point in my career where I'm trying to take it to the playoffs. I still ain't made it to the playoffs yet. So, I don't know, it's different for sure. And some people when they get money, they just stop playing altogether. You know, they get satisfied. Yeah, don't be here on world.
