You know me, I'm your favorite up.
Starting point is 00:06:02 The guy that's down below, number 85, route runner extraordinaire, Liberty City legend, bingo ring of fame, artery. The pro bowler, the all pro, that's Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson. The guy that's at the very, very bottom, man, he done shot out, because he a Raider fan, y'all, and y'all know how that go. He ain't had a whole lot to cheer about,
Starting point is 00:06:22 so hopefully he's in a better mood. He was just immortalized in the TCR. Man, it's Chinese theater. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. The CEO of the Big Three, one of the Laker. He a bigger Laker fan than I am.
Starting point is 00:06:43 But let's, before we get into all that, Q, let's get into what we just saw. The Warriors beat the Grizzlies 121-116. Jimmy Butler 38 points. Steph Curry 37 points. And they held off a very valiant and game Memphis Grizzlies team by the score of 121-126. This game was really, really close. So now the Warriors advance. They're the seventh seed and they take on the Rockets.
Starting point is 00:07:07 That game probably will start Sunday. Q, watching this game, what did you like about what you saw from the Warriors? Damn that, man. I heard that Raiders shot. You know what I mean? I'm the president of the Raider Nation. Always remember that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:19 All right. Now, getting to this game, we knew what was going to happen. It was close. But we know, you know, we're going to win. We're going to win. We're going to win. We're going to win. We're going to win. We're going to win. We're going to win. of the Raider Nation. Always remember that, okay? All right, now getting to this game, we knew what was gonna happen. It was close, but we know, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:30 Steph is, you know, the man, proved it once again, hitting big shots, big moments, Warriors advance, you know, we knew what was gonna happen. I thought the game would have been a lot, you know, we knew what was gonna happen. I thought the game would have been a lot, you know what? It'd have been interesting to see Cube or Ocho had Ja not tweaked that ankle. He goes up for the shot, he comes down on the guy's ankle and he came back in the game late, but he wasn't Ja.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Desmond Bane was unbelievable, he kept him close, big threes, stealing the ball, doing a lot of good things. Triple J plays an outstanding game, but I just thought if Ja has stayed in there, it would have been interesting to see. We never know, who knows? Maybe Steph goes crazy and he goes instead of 37, 38, he goes for 50.
Starting point is 00:08:18 But it was a good game. It's what we expected it to be. This is the first time the Warriors have actually gotten out of the play-in. They had been 0 or 3, so now they're 1-4 in the play-in tournament. Oh Joe, what'd you like about what you saw? Listen, I enjoyed the game to its fullest.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I probably thought that the Warriors were gonna come out and be victorious in the win. Obviously, playoff Jimmy, as he's known to be called, showed up. Play in Jimmy. Play in my mouth. Okay, you're right, play in Jimmy. Listen, he had 21 and a half. He came up and he showed up. Play in Jimmy. Play in my back. I'm like, okay, you're right. Play in Jimmy. Listen, he had 21 and a half. He came up and he showed out.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Steph Curry did what he did, ended the game with 37. But I think the game might've been different, even though it was close. If we got a jaw that wasn't injured and didn't mess up his ankle towards the end of the game, now, Devin Bane did what he did to keep him close.
Starting point is 00:09:02 But obviously, Steph Curry coming in clutched towards the end of the game, and it is what it is. Yeah, I mean look, this is the Warriors time of year. We know what they're capable of doing. It's amazing to me that they haven't gotten out of the play-in queue considering all that championship game predegree. All the time they've been in NBA finals,
Starting point is 00:09:20 they've been in Western Conference finals, they've had tough ball games, but for whatever reason, it's hard for them to get out of the play-in. If I'm not mistaken, I think they lost to the Lakers, a couple of, lost to the Lakers, lost to the Grizz, but they haven't been what we thought they would be, especially when they're playing. So now they get an opportunity to advance.
Starting point is 00:09:38 They're the number seven seed to take on the Houston Rockets. The second best record in the Western Conference, but this is a young team that's not really battle tested, Q. How do you see this matchup shaping out between the Rockets and the Warriors? Well, you know, the Warriors got that pedigree. They know what it takes. You know, Rockets are scrappy, you know, they defense, they all over the court, you know, I mean they running they gun it yanking they shooting they they kind of doing it all. But you know, they all different animal, you know, you playing the same team over and over
Starting point is 00:10:20 again. They get a chance to lock in on you, you get a chance to lock in on you you get a chance to lock in on them and you know in basketball about a third game you know all the moves they got they know all the moves you got and the will to win and so the Warriors are battle tested they got that will to win even though I like the the Rockets young, scrapped the team, I just think the Warriors got everything it takes with Draymond and Jimmy as hungry as ever. So I expect the Warriors to come out of that. Well, you mentioned you're the, you're the, what did you say? The Godfather of the-
Starting point is 00:11:02 President and the Raider of the Nation. Okay, you're president of the Raider of the Nation. So what are you with the Lakers? Are you the Godfather of the Lakers? What are you for the Lakers? Oh man, you know, the Lakers, I mean, I haven't put a name on it, you know, it's something greater than love with the Lakers.
Starting point is 00:11:20 You the mayor of Lakerville. But you know, I've been a big fan, since uh, I was knee-high to a horse fly And so it's just really all about Seeing them jail, you know, do they have enough time in the jail? Uh to to go all the way. Um We'll see, you know, they got a nice A nice squad, you know, I like all, I like the size of all the role players. You know, they all damn near the same size with the same athletic ability.
Starting point is 00:11:52 And so it's pretty cool to see them teamed up with LeBlanc, Luca, and AR 15 Cube let me ask you this. Where were you when you heard the news? The Lakers were trading Anthony Davis for Luca Donchich And did you believe it when you heard it? I didn't believe it, you know, I was I was at the house and And and you know, I was you know, I know my son he had a you know a podcast he had to do and uh he was just like freaking out on the podcast because he read the news at the same time and so you know it's hard to believe that was true but the Lakers always
Starting point is 00:12:43 pull the rabbits out they had you know I'm, I felt the same way when they got shot. You know, I felt the same way when they got... LeBron? LeBron, you know, it was like, man, how did the Lakers pull this off? Yeah. Great front office, you know, I never count them out, no matter, you know, how the team look from year to year.
Starting point is 00:13:08 You know, I never count that front office out. Even bringing AD in was, was amazing. Gave up a lot to get him, but it worked out. You got a championship out of the deal. Yeah, without a doubt. Q, you're the co-founder of the big three. Last year was your most viewed season. How do you take it to the next level?
Starting point is 00:13:28 And it's been reported that Dwight Howard said, my last year playing professional basketball, I'm going to play it in the Big Three. There we go. You know, star power. You know, the same thing, you know, that you guys got here, star power. So that's what we bring in as a league. That's what people want to see but also the style of play you know i think people love the big three because you know there's still
Starting point is 00:13:51 a place for the big man you know we still defense you know we let them try as tall we let players be themselves you know you know not penalize personality you know what i mean and uh so not penalized personality, you know what I mean? And so I think people love that. Fans want that. That's what's missing in some ways in the other professional league. And so, and do his, you know, last, you know, go around the country in the big three, it's gonna be a fun summer. But, you know, we also got country in the big three. It's going to be a fun summer.
Starting point is 00:14:28 But, you know, we also got other players that's great too. So, you know, now we're in cities. Now, you know, we've got a team in LA, a team in Dallas, a team in Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and the DMV and Miami. So it's going to be interesting to unlock those fan bases and And and start to grow the brick big three from that model What what made you decide to come up with the big three you sitting around to me look you're busy you know You're in Hollywood you back to doing music and I see I think know, you're in Hollywood, you're back to doing music.
Starting point is 00:15:05 And I see, I think now Q, you back more in the music now than you've ever been. Maybe you've taken a break from the acting thing, from writing. I know you got to, we're gonna get this a little later, but the Friday, the last installment of Friday, and you're probably sitting down writing that, you DJ Poo.
Starting point is 00:15:21 But in this situation, what made you decide to come up with the big three? I'm a fan and You know after the finals NBA finals man, I would have to donate until football I mean seriously for people who love basketball and love football Those dawn days of summer just got, you know, it was just brutal.
Starting point is 00:15:50 And so I knew there was a lot of fans out there like me who wanted something, a real season. Could we fit a real season into that window between the NBA finals and the start of the regular season in football. And so, you know, there was a great window. And three on three was sitting there kind of dormant. You know, it's kind of the little cousin of five on five.
Starting point is 00:16:16 And I said, you know, why haven't they been professionalized? And there was no good reasons. I looked at what FIBA was doing and I said, hey, we could do better than that to professionalize the sport. And we came up with great wrinkles, like the four point circles and bring the fire and you know, first to 50 win, no game clock, but the shot clock. So the games are fast, they fun, and it's what basketball should be. And so, you know, we put all the great ingredients into it, and it was a great idea.
Starting point is 00:16:56 And we had the connections and the people to make it come true and all the famous had blessed us George Gervin dr. J Clyde Drexler Rick Barry you know these guys blessed the league and say there's something they want to be a part of and And so I knew if the Hall of Famers was into it I was on to something Because they wouldn't get behind something that wasn't pure. Yeah. And so, you know, that's the way it started. And it really happened after I seen Kobe's last game.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I was kind of upset that I couldn't see him play no more. And I said, man, why can't he play? And then I just was like, well, maybe it's just the 82 games. Cause if you could score 60 points in a damn game, you can play, I don't give a damn, you know. How old you are, you know what I'm saying? You can play. So then I said, okay, well then, you know, what if it was half court?
Starting point is 00:18:06 What if it was, you know, 10 weeks, you know, it was first to 50 win. And it was kind of a sprint and not, you know, such a long marathon or a long grind and you get a week to recover. You know, I just tried to put all the good ingredients in to make sure players were that was that they best I Kind of we kind of looked at the NFL model you know an important game once a week and You know you use the week to get your body right you come on you give a thousand percent come out and you give a thousand percent.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Q, what's kept you going? You think about it, right? You've had an idea. You had ideas, you had a vision. Being able to execute that vision. Big three, obviously just coming off this most viewed season. How does it feel to watch something you created grow massively and become a cultural phenom,
Starting point is 00:19:03 I mean a phenomenon? It's amazing, you know, it's really the beauty of our minds, you know, we can manifest. You know, everything you see around you, you know, came out the back of somebody's mind. Yeah. And they worked to make it a reality. And so I think that's our purpose
Starting point is 00:19:26 is to you know to create to Always, you know manifest so to speak our ideas and our thoughts try to make them a reality And then you know in and what I do It's all about really making it where people can enjoy it. So you bring a, you know, a comedy like Friday out the back of your mind and then people enjoy it all over the world. Yeah. And it's going to be here, you know, after I'm gone, it's going to still be here making people laugh. People going to be enjoying that stuff. So that's what keep me going, knowing that what I'm doing today
Starting point is 00:20:10 is gonna be enjoyed tomorrow. What's up everyone, it's Greg Rosenthal and I'm teaming up with the king of spring, Daniel Jeremiah. He requires me to say that.

The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny 6'2 hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical warrior's ride. This is Dubb Dynasty.

It all changed when I had this guy come to me. He said to me, you know, you're not Latina. First of all, what does that mean? I'm out this wide open. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:30 History makers like the Sucar family who became the first Peruvians to win a Grammy. It was a very special moment for us. It's been 15 years for me in this career.

Starting point is 00:23:55 or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. ["I Heart Women's Sports"] of iHeart Women's Sports. ["I Heart Women's Sports"] How do you come up with the Friday concept? I mean, that Friday one, that's, and look, we got classic. There are certain movies that's gonna be in our household
Starting point is 00:24:17 and our community, that's a classic. It's hard if you say, I got five, give me your five black classics. It's hard to say life isn't in there I would say probably Harlem Nights America You know things like that pillage here a cube I don't know if you remember penitentiary Yeah, man, Leon Isaac Kennedy man Yeah, but to come up with that idea you said a lot of times you'd have an idea.
Starting point is 00:24:48 You put pen to paper in this. And did you know when you when you were writing this and when it came out and you finished you, you wrapped because if I'm not mistaken, you finished Friday in 21 days, correct? We finished shooting it in 20 days. We shot it in 20 days. Did you know it was going to do this? Did you know it would be this? 30 plus years later, people are still talking about Friday. Classic. Well, you know, me and DJ Poo, we are, you know, we in the
Starting point is 00:25:20 studio, we make music, but we laugh a lot. And, and you know, we love the classics, you know, you mentioned some of them And we wanted to have one and we was you know watching people like Robert Townsend Who he had amazing specials and Hollywood? Yes an amazing Shuffle that that's brilliant. We were saying, you know, what they was doing with the Living Color. And it was like, yo, you know, it was so many hard movies
Starting point is 00:25:53 coming out about our neighborhood, you know, from the hood to Menace to Society. And we was like, yo, you know, it's hard around here, but we have, we have fun too. And we laugh a lot. So, you know, that's kind of missing it and what we doing and what was being put out there. So we wanted to do a movie about the neighborhood
Starting point is 00:26:16 and kind of turn things on their ear and laugh, you know, about some of the things that was happening instead of crying about it. And so, you know, when you grew up in a neighborhood like ours, you got, everybody got a dark sense of humor, you know, so it's easy to turn something fun, you know, something that, you know, could be considered a tragedy, you know, people figure out a way to make light of it and laugh about it and not always cry about it. So that's what we was doing.
Starting point is 00:26:56 We was taking real situations that we had grew up with and we're exposing it to one movie. And we set out to make a hood classic and that's what we did. So it was a mission accomplished. But we couldn't have got it done without people like F. Gary Gray, who this was his first movie. You know, of course, you know, funny people like Chris Tucker and Bernie Mac and, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:28 That's the thing, because a lot of these people, this is their first time you put Chris Tucker, you put Q, you put Rinaldo Rey, you put Bernie Mac, you put Ezell. When you go to shoot this movie, like we talked about earlier, we just saw Friday is moving forward to development. If you don't mind, can you give us a little insight because a lot of the original people that were in Friday is going on. You know, and DC Curry was another comedian
Starting point is 00:27:56 that's been in more. Some more has been in your movies. You like to get, especially comedians that might not be household names, and we go back and like man Man Bernie man with the Bernie man with the preacher coming over there. This is a miss Parker's house Mm-hmm. Yeah, you know the thing is to me There's a lot of funny people out there Yes, no, and a lot of funny people came in audition for these movies.
Starting point is 00:28:27 You know, some of them didn't get the parts, and that's not because they wasn't funny. It was because they wasn't perfect for that character. Okay. I think these are still characters in a movie. I think these are still characters in a movie. And we all know the neighborhood and all the different types of people that we run across. And so you want to have somebody that really embodies the character more than just a guy who can make you laugh.
Starting point is 00:29:03 And so I'm looking for something a little different than most people. That's why I'm able to pick people that are not so-called household names, and I can see them as these characters and able to put them in a situation where they can win. And so we're gonna do the same thing. There's still a lot of
Starting point is 00:29:28 You know Movie characters that's that's here with us, you know, hopefully You know a lot of one-a-part movie we don't have a funny movie full of funny characters Gonna be some old characters. Those always it's also gonna be some new characters. Right. New people, new acts, new situations. Craig, the only thing for certain is Craig and Day-D is back. Out of doubt. You you got to you got to upgrade you might need to get that I Doubt You you got you got upgrade you might need to get that booze mobile or bundles put in there Yo, yo Wi-Fi trippy. Is that right?

So I'm putting my name in the hat, I'm putting my name in the hat earlier. So if you get people- I got a long line man, come on, just jump in the line and bring it lunch If you have any type of auditions the regards to how long the line is I'm better than the whole line I'm not worried about that. I just need the opportunity Yeah, let me know I got my sad car too, so you know, I'm experienced I know I know you come in and get me a crack. Oh yeah, let me know.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I got my sad card too. So, you know, I'm experienced. I know, listen, hurry up and wait. I know about that all too well. So just let me know when. Got you. Cube, you going on the headline tour, your Truth to Power, Four Decades of Attitude.
Starting point is 00:31:40 This tour celebrates your 40 year legacy as a rapper, producer, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and a cultural icon. It kicks off September the 4th. What made you decide to say, you know what, it's time for Ocubi to hit the road again and tour? Mm-hmm. Now, I've always been touring. I've always done dates, but to do a fully production, But, you know, to do a fully production, a full production, so to speak, is something I haven't done. You know, and after being in the game for four decades, you know, it's time to really just focus on the career, you know, not only celebrate the music, but also show the influences.
Starting point is 00:32:25 What made me write this kind of music? You know, growing up, coming up, the events, you know, we gonna cover the 80s, the 90s, 2000s, and you know, up until the 2020s. So it's, you know, it's just, you know, for a Ice Cube fan, you know, this is, you know, it's just you know For ice-cube fan, you know, this is you know a way to get closer to me as an artist to understand He has an artist understand some of the songs that I've done throughout my career and then Jamal You know, I mean I got I got a lot of hits over over
Starting point is 00:33:03 These 40 years and we all I want that and you know do some of the songs that you know Sometimes I don't get to on some of these other shows, but now we're gonna have it It's in the production. It's going to be cool. I don't know which is worse, the Raiders or that Wi-Fi, but they're both pretty awful. Man, don't be saying it's my Wi-Fi, man. I'm going to ask no questions. Shut down your wifi. Who wifi you think it is? Y'all in two different places.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Y'all ain't in the same spot. There's a thousand people on the same call. And we got no issues. You mentioned QB. Yeah. This tour is gonna be about spanning your career. 40 years. You probably are part of one of the most influential, if not the most influential groups,
Starting point is 00:34:10 because you ushered in something, the gangster rap era. You NWA, you D.R.A.E., E.E.Z., D.O.C., YELLA. At the time when y'all put this together, did y'all realize that damn their 40 years from now that people was gonna pay give you your due and pay you Homage to what you guys had done. Did you did you think about that when you guys were putting this group together? Not at all, you know, we didn't even think about you know, so-called ushering in The gangster rap era because the time when we did our music, all rappers had their own styles. It wasn't a follow the leader type of deal.
Starting point is 00:34:53 It was either you create your own style or you're not gonna rise to the top. So, you know, we created our own style out here on the West Coast and we had no idea that the whole rap game would start to do the kind of music we were doing, you know. Yes. There was, you know, all kinds of groups out when we first started in 1985, 86, 87, 88, 89, it was so many different styles of rap, from the Dayz A's to, you had Jungle Brothers, you had Fat Boys.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Fendi Bell, you had Big Daddy Kane, you had Cool Mo D, you had Fat Boys, Grandmaster Flashing, The Furious Five, Billy Bell, you had Big Daddy Kane, you had Cool Mo D, you had LL, you had KRS-1. Proc, you had so many different flavors. Yeah. Nowhere in the world did we think, once we do this, all the flavors would turn into this flavor.
Starting point is 00:36:03 You know, cause that was actually considered a no-no. You couldn't bite nobody's style. And so, you know, it was kind of a domino effect after the music came out, but it was no way for us to say, hey, it's time for this now, because we were fans of all that other music too. We was fans of Big Daddy Kane and EPMD and, I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:36:33 they're a good band. They're rockin' dollars. Yeah, you know, so we was fans of all that music. One DMC was king. Yep. You know, so. Houdini. Yeah, you know, it was like, it was a great time for hip-hop for sure. Hey, Cube, man, you are a legend, man. You're a legend, you're an
Starting point is 00:36:57 icon. And when I think about it, and I sit back and I think about everything you've done, which about 40 years, you know, between Hollywood Walk of Fame star, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Basketball Hall of Fame recognition. Do any of these accolades hold a particular special place for you and which one would mean the most to you? Or collectively do all of them kind of equal the same? Are they all equally yoked? equally old? You know, we started off in music, so Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is big. Yeah. Because- Yeah, okay, the big-
Starting point is 00:37:32 That's a crescendo. No, that's what all started. Yes, sir. The Walk of Fame is cool if they keep it clean, you know, you gotta go up there, come down a little bit here and there. Yeah. And look, you know, having an award in the basketball Hall of Fame is something that, you know, you cannot even, that couldn't even be in my dreams because I had no-
Starting point is 00:37:58 Yeah, because you can't who? Yeah, how you get in the Hall of Fame when you can't who? You know, I can fuck around and get a triple-double only. You. You what? He need that. What? He need that. You know what I'm saying? You know, being in that, you know, it's kind of like a pleasant surprise.
Starting point is 00:38:18 But the Hall of Fame, you know, something every artist, you know, looks to achieve as far as recognition from the industry. And the music industry, a lot of mavericks, you know, a lot of people on their own page. So you know, when they all come together and say, you know, you wanted those top artists in history, you know, that means a lot. Q, every year we have this, there are this, the top 30 greatest diss songs. And normally within the top five, top 10, no Vaseline.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yeah. We just had a guy had, I don't know, people saying Drake might have excuse me K-Dot might have had the greatest this song Considering who he went up against when you look at what you know Vaseline You look at hit him up. You look at ether you look at not like us sheath the Remy Ma and Nicky and Nikki going at it Where would you where would you rank? No Vaseline? and Nikki going at it. Where would you rank Novasa League as far as diss tracks? And did you know
Starting point is 00:39:35 it was going to land like it was a bullseye? It didn't just land, it was a bullseye. Perfect. Hey, you know, you can't take nothing from not like us. You know, won a Grammy, it's that Super Bowl, it's huge. Um, but when it comes to a feud, what's the most vicious feud you can get into? Vicious feud you can get into is a family feud. Yeah. So when it's a family feud, it don't get more vicious than that. So. So yeah, that's because the fact that it was a family feud and we were close proximity and we ran in the same circles and knew the same people. No Vaseline is hard to beat because you know, you did your thing on the net.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Yeah. You know, this is somebody that's far away from you is one thing, but you know, you did your thing on the net. Yeah, you know, this is somebody that's far away from you is one thing But you know, this is somebody to run into the next day or any day is another thing So I just got a guy got you know what I'm gonna say man Come on now Come on now, Chad. It's A. Baby, you know how it go. It is A.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I ain't gonna fight you, because like I said, no Vaseline, hit him up with Tupac going at Biggie. Classic. Nas with Ether. But you transitioned. You trans, I mean, to be in the music, and not only were you at the top of the rap game, you say, you know what, I'm gonna act.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Not only am I gonna act, I'm gonna act. Not only am I gonna act, I'm gonna write too. Bro, I mean, what was that transition? Did you always wanna be in movies because it seemed like you came up, you wanted to be a rapper, and that's what it was, and next thing you know, hey, Cube on the set, and doing a hell of a job at that.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Nah, I never even thought about movies. I was discovered by John Singleton, rest in peace. He saw something in me, you know, he saw when he was writing the movie and he saw, you know, from the videos, from my interviews, that I could do it. And he convinced me that I could do it and and he convinced me that I can do it and I trusted him and in the process of making the movie you know John Singleton would keep he would keep like picture frames of all his rejection letters well he sent Boys in the Hood the script to a lot of studios
Starting point is 00:42:07 and they all rejected him for whatever reason until Columbia picked it up. But he would keep those letters saying why the movie would never work. And he kept them as motivation. One day I was in his house and he was he asked me when was I gonna write a movie? he said He said you'll never get another movie like boys in the hood unless you write it and so That just opened my way To I left that day, you know me and you know my wife Kim. She was my girlfriend and then we went to the Mac store and bought a computer, bought final draft and
Starting point is 00:42:58 started trying to figure out what was my, what was the script I was going to write. Um, and, um, I wrote a few, you know, he helped me with it. The first two scripts wasn't that tight, but the third script was Friday, you know, the third script was Friday, and me and DJ Kool wrote that together. So it took you longer to write the script than it did to film the script, because you said it took you 20 days to film the whole thing,
Starting point is 00:43:22 and it probably took you six months to a year to write it. Took me a while to write it. Just because I was a new writer, and I never went to school for it, so I was kind of teaching myself the format from the other scripts that I had. And I didn't know a lot about structure yet, secondary stories, how to bring them to a conclusion
Starting point is 00:43:49 Died in. You know first act, second act, third act, you know the structure of movies and I learned that Through you know, I got a lot of help from Pat Charbonneau who was my manager at the time She would help me, you know, I got a lot of help from Pat Charbonneau, who was my manager at the time. She would help me, you know, proofreading structure, refining the character, you know, just making it more movie worthy and less amateurish. And so, you know, we came up with the movie.
Starting point is 00:44:28 We had 20 days to shoot it, you know, So we shot, and it's not 20 straight days. Like, it's five days a week, weekends off, so a month. It's only a month, basically a month. Month, yeah. That's dope. But you know when you shoot a movie, when you shoot a movie like that, in such little time, everybody gotta hit the marks, Q. Ain't a whole lot of retakes.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Ain't a whole, hey, Q, I've been, look, I done been on sets, I've been on commercials, not a movie, but commercials. And when people, when you work around that time, because a lot of times, they give you two days, they board-jab around it, they's like, okay, we're gonna send you back to your trailer. But when you on a time crunch, when you say,
Starting point is 00:45:03 hey, we got a month to shoot this Come here. If you don't know your line you think you can get a little bit behind. It's really that simple. Exactly We we replace a lot of people Place on the spot But look we was We were Hungry But look, we were hungry. Like I said, Ev Gary Gray, it was his first movie. We had done a lot of videos together.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I fought hard for him to get the movie because I thought he was ready. I thought he knew the LA culture. He grew up right there. We filmed it on his street. And that's Evergarry Gray Street that we filmed the movie on. Oh, he's from the neighborhood and he knew all the nuances. And so we needed somebody. I didn't want to sit there and have to teach a director.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Why do we need to six photo drop when we're trying to pull up and do all that. I need somebody who already know. What's up everyone.

From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the core that included Clay Thompson and Draymond Green, to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny 6'2 hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride.

Starting point is 00:57:03 But that is. Ocho, the Magic are the number seven seed and they will face the Boston Celtics. They took down, in the seven, eight matchup, they took down the Hawks. As usual, the Hawks leaned heavily on Trey Young and he was on pace to play almost the entire game. But he was ejected late in the fourth quarter
Starting point is 00:57:24 and went to come and get a number on him. But he was ejected late in the fourth quarter. Yeah. And went to come get a number on him. Yeah, he threw the ball a little hard at the ref now. It had a little pace on it. It had a little pace on it. It had a little pace on it. Yeah, it did. Hey, that ref dropped that ball so goddamn fast.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Man, what the crap? But he had, at the time, he played 40 40 minutes so he was 8-21, level 12. He had 28 points Didn't get a whole lot of help from anybody else But hey The magic are good. Ben Carroll and Franz Wagner did not play well It was Cole Anthony off the bench they gave gave him 26 black laid well off the bitch And when you get that kind of production would they have 42 45 47 51 they got 57 points from their bench You get 57 points from your bench. You don't win a lot of games. Yeah, you know, you got bad
Starting point is 00:58:20 17 Wagner her 13 when the Carterell Carter Jr. had 19. So they got great top end scoring, but the bench is what came in. Cole Anthony came off the bench, 10 or 17, four or nine from the three. Anthony Black was six or seven from the field, three or three from the three, and that was the difference in the ball game.
Starting point is 00:58:38 But it's not all loss yet. No. Hawks get an opportunity at the seven, eight matchup. The loser gets to take on the nine, 10 winner. Whoever wins that game, they will face the Hawks get an opportunity at the 7-8 matchup. The loser gets to take on the 9-10 winner. Whoever wins that game, they will face the Hawks for a chance to be the number eight seed and face the Cleveland Cavaliers. That ain't pretty. That ain't gonna be pretty at all.
Starting point is 00:58:59 No. This is gonna be a good game. I like Orlando. Orlando, Orlando better than people think. I know if you're not with, oh Trey Young throwing the ball. Oh, and then he uh, then he uh, when he teed him up he hand the ball, he dribbled it and spiked it
Starting point is 00:59:16 didn't he? What'd he do? He could... Hey boy, he's he's funny man. He is funny. I don't think we did ejecting for that. Hey, he ejecting for throwing that guy, throwing the ball too hard. He throw it a little hard.
Starting point is 00:59:38 He throw it a little hard, Ojo. He did. Oh, sure. There's been one constant doing the entire Luka-Dachas trade fiasco is that Nico Harrison and the Mavs continue to make some worse PR decisions imaginable. Nico said he has no regret in the Luka trade. When you look at this trade, we targeted AD. With our philosophy of defense wins championships, we wanted a two-way player that could lead
Starting point is 01:00:03 our team, and that was Anthony Davis Everyone's gonna have the criticism and I'm not sure what Mark Cuban said But that's a better question left for him, but we got what we wanted my obligation is to the Dallas Maverick It's what's best interest of the Dallas Mavericks and that was the most important thing Some of these decisions are going to be unpopular. Maybe to Durkin, maybe to some fans, but my obligation is to the Dallas Mavericks. Is he trolling at this point? No, but actually you should stop talking about it.
Starting point is 01:00:36 He's making it worse. I'm not sure what his angle is. I'm not sure what it is. For the betterment of the future of the Dallas Mavericks, you want to make the right decisions long term. Letting Luka Donsha go to the Lakers is not making the right decisions by the fans or the Dallas Mavericks on this organization.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Now I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with AD, but I mean, when you talk about longevity and wanting to keep your job based on the decisions that you make for the betterment of the team, it would have been keeping Luka there. But that's not his, but at the end of the team, it would have been keeping Luca there. But that's not his, but at the end of the day, that's not his call. That's ownership's call.
Starting point is 01:01:12 And the Dumont family said, okay. Mark Cuban just tweeted, what did he tweet? He called him stupid or something, I guarantee you. Dirk is the Dallas Mavericks, they're not forever. No one should ever forget that. That statue will be here forever. Loyalty never fades. Tomorrow night, 15 guys will put on a Mavericks uniform
Starting point is 01:01:40 and they'll do everything they can to win. For themselves, each other and the fans. Our squad busted that, you know what, fight through incredible adversity. They have my respect and support. Should have everyone's. I'm a Mavs fan. I'll always love and cheer for everyone who puts on our uniform tomorrow night and however many games we have left in this season and ever in the future whether I'm in the stands or in front Of the TV or following every play online My heart and soul is committed to rooting for our mouths to win that will never change I know fans are upset, but don't be upset at the players support them root for them rally behind them
Starting point is 01:02:22 I don't know what M ML, what is that? Okay, well, what Ash said. Mavs fans for life. Hashtag Mavs fan for life. Man, that was so PC. I thought he gave some truth on based on the decisions that was made He called he called he's upset Because Nico called that dirt. Maybe maybe he's dark is upset
Starting point is 01:02:55 Okay, fans are upset and he's looking at like bro if you're part of it, you know Dirk ages is kind of like oh Joe is kind of like if you were to call out somebody from Cincinnati. Yes sir. When I call out somebody from the Broncos or the Ravens, it's a little different. We played there. People still remember, you know, your number 85 is up.
Starting point is 01:03:17 My number 84 is up. People remember what I did in Baltimore. So it's a little different. Right, when it comes to. And somebody else criticizing a guy that played here. Right. Like you said, Durk is a legend. Right. 20, 20, 20, what did he play? 20 seasons? 20 seasons or 21? 20 season.
Starting point is 01:03:38 Same uniform, never left. Have an opportunity to land, get bigger paydays. He said, no, this is my home. And so. Nico, my recommendation, 21. My, yes, Ocho, just let it go. Fans are gonna be upset, fans are gonna be upset. And especially because it's still so fresh. Time, let time pass and you'll be okay, but don't mention it anymore.
Starting point is 01:04:07 You're not going to make these fans forget. And no matter how much you say you wanted Anthony Davis, you targeted Anthony Davis, and we want to be a two-way team, defense win championships, fans ain't really trying to hear that. They ain't trying to hear that, man. You gave a guy away, you traded a guy that was theirs. He came here at 18. Dallas was all he knew. Those fans, Luca is all they knew. And now they don't have him anymore. We know what he does on the court.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Right. I don't care. Nothing but all that other stuff. And you say at some point the fans will forget, they will never forget because there's a type of player that the Lakers got. They understand. Luka will always remind them Dallas, Nico Collins, and the owners on what they did based on his play in LA.
Starting point is 01:05:02 And they're going to always resent that because he's going to be the superstar that they had he's gonna always remind him this is what you let go every single year in every game that he had like he had that game when he went back he dropped 45 acting a fool like that that should have been that she should have been dropping that 45 on the Lakers for us you saw the other night he had 39 against the Houston, I think the Rockets, and he didn't play the fourth quarter. So when you see him go off for those type performances,
Starting point is 01:05:31 you're like, what are we doing? And AD, look, AD is a phenomenal player. AD is an all 75 player. He's been an all NBA selection. He's been an all star. He's been an all star game MVP. He's won a title. He's not Fettuccine, but he's not Luca.
