Starting point is 00:02:28 that's the bars through sports book code gilly must be 21 to do this and if you have a gambling problem one 800 gambler uh i mean a lot of monster came from my pops like you know pops taught me how to shoot like ever since i was three years old i was like shooting freethos from the regular regulation um baskets on 10 foot rooms so it was like once i really learned how to shoot he kind of like guided me into like you know he really trained to be to be a killer first and then I learned how to like move into passing the ball and like you know picking rolls and shit like that so he taught me really early but after that growing up in lakewood it was like it was a rugged gang you know what I'm saying so we got to you know it wasn't the nicest area but
Starting point is 00:03:23 growing up with my cousins and shit like that we grew up fighting and stuff like that so it was always a tough I was playing 21 or 35 getting a rough and after that my attitude kind of carried on and just so happened that I always carried on being able to shoot so that kind of stuck with me
Starting point is 00:03:41 so after I figured out the street game of it like trying to make next fall and shit like that and seeing like the show business of it all but me because early on I was always short like I was I wasn't as I'm not going to say I was always
Starting point is 00:03:57 short but I wasn't the tallest around the way so I was playing the point guard and just so happened like when I was a freshman year going in the sophomore year I grew like six inches so I went from the point guard to being like three to four and I went from shooting outside shots to windmill in and dunking on motherfuckers over the course of like three months so my game dramatically changed so fast that it was just like oh you can shoot you can handle the ball and you got the big man game now because you're 6-6, you're 6-7 so I was like
Starting point is 00:04:30 I should just it grew over time but like shit just don't happen for me real quick as in, you know, at a young age Yeah When did you know you was nice though? I knew I was nice when I was like 6 or 7 Damn
Starting point is 00:04:47 What fuck Yeah because like for me You know we don't talk about it I talk about a lot now But growing up, like, I'm one to six. And out of the six, I'm the one who was, like, pretty much diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. So I had so much, I was so hyper as a kid. And fortunately, we had, you know, great parents who do us in sports and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:05:12 So that was a way for me to, that was my outlet to get my energy off and all of that. So anytime I got hit with some tough shit at school or something like that, I ran to sports. I ran to the court. I ran into football. I ran to baseball. So that's how I got so good, so fast, and all my shit because it was like any time I hit any type of friction or noise, it was just like I got, it's my outlet, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yeah. That's what's up, man. So you went straight from high school to the league. Yeah. How was that process for you? Being a young kid, what you said? You had six brothers? I'm on the six, so I got four brothers.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Well, it's three, I got, it's three brothers and two sisters. Okay, so, so the house packed up for sure. The house packed up. Getting drafted was crazy because, in the sense of, like, last two months, three months prior to the drive, I was going to college, like, up until the last couple of All-Star games, all the top players and all that shit. Like, other than that, I was going to school.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I played well in them shit. I don't know where they was like, oh, yeah, he can go pro right now. You got the game. So for me, again, that shit just sped up again. It was just like, I'm going, I go from the mindset of walking in the Carolina as a freshman, you know, playing for World Williams. I think we're about to go for a national championship to be like, oh, now you need to go through that. And for me, it was even better because, for one, school wasn't my thing, hearing about how they, you know, talking to the, oh, the players did and talking about how much control the coaches and shit had. It was just like, oh, no, I'm about to skip this whole process.
Starting point is 00:06:50 It's like, go straight to the L. So when I got to the league, it was like, I'm dealing with, I'm going from dealing with dudes who's already going to be, you know, either my age or a little older to me to grown men. Yeah. So I'm 17. I'm playing with dudes 33 years old, 34 years old, 35 years old, and training camp taking flights, hotels and shit.
Starting point is 00:07:10 So I had an accelerated, I call it accelerated fictitious lifestyle early on because for me, I'm going from high schools or, I mean, taking little A.U trips and shit I'm doing it to actual Ritz Carlton, five-star hotels. The chicks? Like, everywhere. They're waiting for y'all.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Everywhere. Is it like, is it like, everywhere? When you come out of, damn, when you know he was blitzed to the bitch's like fourth an inch's ball on the goal line. Boy, I'm 18. I ain't ever been away from home. I've been away from home, but I ain't never been away from home or something like.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Nah, it wasn't even like they was in the lobby like that. That's what really messed me here because that's what I was expecting. I'm thinking, like, that's just going to be like on some rush hour shit. But it wasn't like that. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Because again, I'm 70, I ain't know what to expect. I'm hearing all this stories and whatever, whatever. But it wasn't like that. But by the time you went to the spot,
Starting point is 00:08:07 everybody knew it was on. Only place that, like, for my first couple years was Vegas. That's the only place they ain't fuck them because they knew how old I was. Everywhere else was like, ah, you can get away with it.
Starting point is 00:08:18 We know how old you is, but like, Yeah, you and the L, come on, yeah, you're 18, 19, you got, you got bread? Yeah, oh, come on, you know. Could you really do is everything fucking around with the ladies and the cities and the clubbing? Sure. No, one of my favorite Drake songs, for real, was like, you get two losses, bitches and fashion, you go missing the nation. There's a lot of, a lot of cats like that.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Like, you really get, like, I've seen dudes really get caught up in the lifestyle to, they was more worried about the lifestyle of the game. opposed in the actual game. And that's one of the thing Brian always told me that stuck with me who's always keep the main thing, the main thing. Like the main thing is hoop. That's how we got here. We're going to keep that first.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Kevin, not to say we can't branch off and, you know, do other different things and different avenues and all of that. But the only reason why we can do that is because we got this.
Starting point is 00:09:14 So we got to take care of this first. You know what I'm saying? And that really, like, unfortunately, it was something that really stuck with me. And I try to tell that to all the young cats, like, for real for, like, don't get me wrong, you talented, you can do a million other things. But at the end of the day, this is what you, like,
Starting point is 00:09:32 this is what you make your bread off. This is what you, it's your lane until this other stream that you're picking up of is making either equal or, you know what I'm saying, or more. So, so, okay, you're 17. When you got drafted, you're 17, right? 17. You got to league you 18, right? You around all these grown ass men
Starting point is 00:09:52 But I'm pretty sure That JR was not mature yet No, absolutely not Not even close Okay, so What OGs did you piss off In that motherfucking locker room, man Who snapped on you
Starting point is 00:10:09 Who had to check you You like, damn Man Nah, a lot of cats had to check me For real But who's somebody that checked you You was like... No, because I heard about this one story.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I just want to see if he's going to break it up. Dang. So, Big Rodney Rogers, see, we got... Here we go. Who? Rodney Rogers. Big Rodney Rogers. I called Big Rodney Rogers.
Starting point is 00:10:34 At the time, 17, 18, he's like 34, 35 at the time. So that's like a real OG. Mm-hmm. And let me explain, because he probably won't know who Riley Rogers. Riley Rogers is a dark-skinned husky nigger. I'm talking about dope-themed Frankfurt hands. You hear-me? Motherfucking hands.
Starting point is 00:10:53 He looked like he could choke a cow and kill it. You know what I'm talking? Shut the fuck up. Like, he looked like one of them nickers, right? I just want to just explain. He don't know who Roddy Rogers is. But go ahead. There's Rodney Rogers right here.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yeah. Big Rodney. Yeah, Big Rodney. That's my dog, bro. Yeah, so go ahead. So, go ahead. So he was in practice one day. He was the first, like,
Starting point is 00:11:19 grown man to really like square up with me. Not even square up with me like throw hands because he threw him, he threw some haymakers. Luckily I was a young boy and got out of the way I was quick on my feet. Why do he make us? Why do he makers come?
Starting point is 00:11:35 And Ronnie Brownskin too. You said what? I said why do he make us come? Why do? Oh, so we was in practice naturally I'm talking shit. So the older cats is like I'm young, I'm fresh in of the league i'm you know what type of shit you're talking though you playing ball you cooking them
Starting point is 00:11:54 i'm cooking but like i'm not talking shit the other dudes is talking shit like the other cats is talking shit from me like they're gassing it bd darrell armstrong they over they're gassing the shit so as a young boy you you catch a booth you scream you get like you're man so you so you dunked on a nick i dunked on a nigga and he ain't really like you and then it just so happened that I was planning I had just started playing at the time and I wasn't really playing
Starting point is 00:12:26 and I should have been playing and I felt as though I should have been playing and I started popping my shit it's just what it is what it is and it happens more frequent than you think because people try to act like the J-Reyron Green
Starting point is 00:12:41 and the Jordan Poole joint with just a single end to them I'm like no these niggas be around each other every day they grow man they go through shit I'm pretty sure a habit's all the time. Man, I've seen people dad be in the building while they get it shaking. They got choked out.

Starting point is 00:13:22 I don't think I connect it Even if I did I think That was more one of them Get the fuck above me Nah for real for real That was a guy I'm getting out the way first My main thing is

Starting point is 00:17:14 Omega Taxcredits.com slash bars through sports right now. Right now. Stop playing games. Yes. At one time, Ray, you was fucking them up on the memes. I'm always catching the memes, bro.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I don't know what it is. I got the gift. I don't know what it is, man, I can't get rid of that shit. Yo, I'm talking about at one time, bro, you was fucking them up on the beams. What's the best part about it is that
Starting point is 00:17:47 because, you know, they throw a lot of shit out there about me. You know, I'll post that shit. I don't get fuck. I laugh. I'll be thinking that shit funny. You know what I mean? I smoke when I start crying looking at that shit, right? But the Cleveland game. What happened?
Starting point is 00:18:05 Talk to the... Because, you know, you know, sometimes when you smoke a lot of weeds, sometimes because you activate itself at the wrong. No, so I'm going to tell you, I've been telling this story for a minute. You ain't never told it on here, and I ain't never seen it. What happened, man? So first of all, I didn't realize that before the play that we, the situation happened on. I'm thinking buddy went down there and Mr. Fritho didn't.
Starting point is 00:18:34 So I'm like, all right, cool. But I wasn't already anticipated. I got KD sitting next to me. So nine times out of ten, first of all, George Hills is a 90-10 and 90% free-cotech shooters. I'm not expecting George did miss. Excuses I know people want to say whatever, whatever. Call it what you want. But I got Katie next thing.
Starting point is 00:18:54 So on top of that, when the ball comes off the rebound, I'm sitting here like, I got a chance of this motherfucker. I grab a rebound. But any other time in that situation, even prior to that season, season before since I've been in Cleveland. In those situations, we always call timeout, figure out what we're going to do, get organized, get out of the ball, and we're going to go from there. So, of course, I take the ball out to the three-port line.
Starting point is 00:19:23 All right, cool. Ain't nobody call time out? We're good. All right. I can't, I'm not about to just launch the ball across the court to you. I'm going to bring the ball up to the court, and then worse going to order, I'm going to get you the pill. This is what, if I'm going to sit out here shooting the ball real tuck,
Starting point is 00:19:40 If I shoot the ball in that situation, and I miss, they're going to sit here and blame, what are he doing shooting that shot? He ain't got no business shooting that shot. So for me, I look at it as like it's a lose-lose situation anyway. But at the same time, in my knowledge of it, like, shit, all right, cool. I got the ball. Ain't nobody call timeout.
Starting point is 00:19:58 You clearly see I'm not about to go score. I got this seven-foot-of-the-muffer right here. So I bring the ball out. You still don't call time out. All right, cool. I'm going to bring it up the court, get you the ball, because that's what we need anyway. Right. Y'all still don't want to call a time out by the time I do all of that.
Starting point is 00:20:13 We just realizing that we got a timeout and we got the ball. All right, cool. So then they make the means. It's like, it may seem funny to y'all, but to me it's like, all right, cool. This is the finals. Like, boy, I've waited since I was three years old again. Yeah, that's a real deal. Now you try to make a mockery of everything else.
Starting point is 00:20:30 And it's like, the worst part about it is nobody else say shit. It's just like, nah, huh, where that? You just take that. Like, boy, it's a basketball play. First of all, there's too many other things that could have happened than other than just saying, oh, he took the ball out. And it's, and shit, y'all probably had 16, 17 motherfucking turnovers that game. So you could put it on any turnover, you could put it on any play,
Starting point is 00:20:56 you could put it on any mislayup, you could put it on the seven miss foul shots, you could put it, so, you know, that one play definitely wasn't, you know. We always say that in sports. Like, I've heard that shit since I was five years. and I've been on the good side, obviously, I've been on the bad side, obviously. So it's like, it's never going to even out.
Starting point is 00:21:17 It just don't work like that. It's just not the way sports is. We say it just to make a motherfucker feel better, but at the end of the day, you're still looking like... No, but see, in that instance, is a little different. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:21:28 If J.R. driving for a motherfucking wild-open layup to win the motherfucking game and miss a wide-open layer, then that's like, Damn, dog, you got a rebound. You didn't shoot. It's not guaranteed that LeBron was going to make the shot. You feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:21:46 The clock was running there. There's no guarantees than none of this shit, but it's only going to be looked at as such, and that's the only way it's been. That's what make it so popular. That's why you see the memes and anything else. I think it was just the fact that you was running around with the motherfucking clockwood of death.
Starting point is 00:22:02 You got there on right. I'm trying to get the shit. I'm trying to get the ball of safety. Like at this point, like, but for me, being a nigga that fuck with basketball knowing
Starting point is 00:22:12 basketball to me it is pleased where you could be like okay no they're just
Starting point is 00:22:17 saying that no man we was up we was up one motherfucking point you shoot 79% from the foul line
Starting point is 00:22:26 you had two foul shots with with 1.8 seconds left to put us up to win you miss
Starting point is 00:22:33 both of them bitches you lost this game bitch you 80% You miss both of them That's something different from a nigger
Starting point is 00:22:42 Getting a rebound He's not in position to score The time running down He might throw it to a nigga He could shoot a three That's not sexy It's not sexy It's not what's sad
Starting point is 00:22:52 Yeah But it's not Yeah But it's totally different Than my motherfucking mind You feel what I'm saying I appreciate it I appreciate it man

Starting point is 00:26:49 it was all like, you know, jumpers and threes and shit like that. But he had me get into the cup. Like, nah, bro, you get into the Baha. This is how we get to it. Yeah. Yeah. That's what's up. When you was coming up, who was the most influential person in your life?
Starting point is 00:27:04 Like, who winged you one up under and was like, no, I'm going to show you how to really do this shit. I would say BD, because BD was, like, there from the start, from the time I got drafted. See, I didn't even notice at the time, like, at the time, they didn't even want to draft me. So the owners or the coach and the GM and shit, like, the team didn't really want to draft me. But Willis Reed had a belief in me because you see me play in this game and whatnot. And I did my thing. but when B.D. showed up at the press conference, and then, like, he took me to his crib, like, gave me, pretty much gave me the keys to his crib, gave me his whip.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Like, yo, whatever you need, whenever you need, you come to L.A., whatever, whatever. And it just so happened. I ended up moving to L.A. before I got drafted. I was in, like, Santa Monica or whatever. And I ended up going out there after the draft and shit. highlight BD and since then like BD has been like my big bro like that's like
Starting point is 00:28:07 that's the that's my OG since day one and he took care of me from to teach me how to move and you know certain things to do certain things not to do not to say he did everything right I obviously did everything right but he really like took me up under his wing and like really showed me how to
Starting point is 00:28:26 how to orchestrate this shit because he I think BD was like 19, 20, when he got drafted. And I was like kind of similar in age, and he was like, he understood what it was when you coming into this shit with grown men
Starting point is 00:28:39 opposed to playing with other people like me at age. Yeah. So, you're in the league. Unfortunately, you get into a car accident, right? Mm-hmm. One of your friends passed, right? Yeah, best friend.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Your best friend pass. At this point, in your career dealing with the NBA and knowing how how strict they are how you know sometimes they only give you one motherfucking
Starting point is 00:29:15 striking you're done you'll be your motherfucking the king of the CBA you be over there scoring 82 fucking points of game they still don't let you come back Oh for real did you think it was over? Yeah I thought it was a rap See, I thought I was I thought I was smooth until I went to jail
Starting point is 00:29:34 Like when I went to jail it was like Like I ain't never coming back from this shit You know what I'm saying? Like once When I went through my whole hearing and all of that And my lawyer sitting here telling me everything smooth You're going to get some probation and all of that shit And I was sitting there like
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah all that shit good and well smooth But I still lost my man Like before all this shit said and done And that's what it was like André, Andre Bell. We want to say, oh, I'm Peter, Andre Bell, so I'm an adultist to his family. Word.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Like, dealing through all that shit and, like, not having nobody, like, from the lead standpoint, like, for me, like, I grew, again, I grew up with my family. I ain't hardly have friends growing up like that. So I grew up with, like, 40, 50 cousins. Yeah. So anything I ever went through, it was always with my family.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yeah. and anybody else it was like if you was on my team then we almost like we felt it together type situation and that was like the first time like I really felt the separation and differential from
Starting point is 00:30:41 hoop in business opposed to the actual personal life because I really felt like people started stepping away from me stepping off and shit like that especially when I went to jail I'm like I'm reaching out of people I'm getting the dial tones I ain't getting like the response
Starting point is 00:30:58 is something I'm supposed to get on people who say they love me they care about me they rock with me and anything else and this go from coaches, players and everything so it was like that shit really fucked me up and then it put me in a different mind state
Starting point is 00:31:10 to where I just started fucking with nigs who hoop period who played any type of sport and I just started hanging out with my homies like ended up being you know not the best of cats but it was it was
Starting point is 00:31:23 what I knew you know what I'm saying and certain times that shit wasn't good for me either, but when I went through that time especially, like, again, I say going to jail because, like, for me, I'm going
Starting point is 00:31:36 from 18, I don't think I went to jail when I was 23, 24, I was 18, going from high school to being able to go to any store what I want, when I want, closing down the stores, buying what I want, flying on the jet here, going here with this girl here, that girl there, going there, doing that.
Starting point is 00:31:57 To out of nowhere, not only losing my best friend but now I got to go to jail like I got to go sit in a box and for me I'm so high profile at the time I got a name they put me straight in PC so you go from not
Starting point is 00:32:11 23 and 1 you go from moving how you want to move and then people don't even realize like you say 23 and 1 is like all right what's 23 and 1 I'm like no boy like my door popped at 9 a.m. on Monday my shit don't pop again until 9 p.m. on Tuesday night
Starting point is 00:32:30 9 a.m. That shit pop again at 9 p.m. And I got that hour to go do what I need to do, go shower, make my phone car, go get my food, whatever, whatever. Help anybody else I want to tip because I got to look out for them because I'm in there 23 hours, so they got to look out for me too. So I got to make all that shit shake in an hour and then get back in my joint.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And then on the weekends, my shit pop at 9 p.m. on Friday, my shit don't pop back until 9 a.m. on Monday. You don't even come out on the weekends. You don't come out. No shower, no nothing. No shower, no phone calls, no none of that. So I'm going from this lifestyle where it's just lavishly. I'm moving around doing what I want to do.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I'm holding you on pause, boy, you ain't going to know. Now you're hoping somebody get your magazine on a book. I'm hoping somebody. What? Magazine or book under the door. Go grab that from what's the name? Man. You're reading every line in the magazine.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Every line on the book on a magazine. I never, bro, when I tell you front of cover, I've never read. Up until that point. right hand to the man I've never read a book magazine nothing front to cover
Starting point is 00:33:35 and I was 22 probably 23 years old front to cover like everything you read people don't even realize every line what that mean
Starting point is 00:33:45 on that job like the smallest I know what all that mean on that joint anything I'm reading books that I had no I'm reading chemistry books
Starting point is 00:33:53 in there like I was no had no interest in chemistry no whatsoever. But the fact that I'm sitting here and I have nothing else to do this is the only thing
Starting point is 00:34:03 we had some girls across the way that I knew I was getting out in time but these dudes over here doing, got homicide charges and all this other shit they got drones on the other side doing sign language and shit
Starting point is 00:34:14 I catch myself up and trying to do some bullshit I'm like bro I ain't got I'm about to go home back to what I was going I'm over in bro I'm telling you
Starting point is 00:34:24 bro they had their whole shit this shit was crazy and I'm really sitting here like I'm about dying this motherfucker and I'm getting down 24 days some doing life now it was wild it was wild but for me it was crazy
Starting point is 00:34:37 because again I'm going from having this lifestyle to go and sitting still and then not only sitting still but the people that I was rocking with that I'm riding for like you see me the way I play so the way I am on the court that's the way I am in the street so
Starting point is 00:34:54 if it's confrontation with anybody I'm rying for you. On the court, off the court, we're going to lose money, we're going to make money. That's just how it's going to go. But when I got in that situation, we're just like,
Starting point is 00:35:06 damn, these motherfuckers really don't fuck with me like that. Nobody was saying, what was it, how did the ladies treat you? Everybody dipped on you? Nah, my lady, my lady, she's not my lady no more,
Starting point is 00:35:18 but she's like, she's my lady, but she's not my lady. Okay. She, we divorced. She, like, she helped me down. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:35:27 She helped me down. That's my kid's mother. She, like, I fucked it up. She was rolling. I'm talking about. But, like, it's like, you know, you had a moment coming out of jail. After the prison thing, you come home. Was it ever that at the moment when depression hit?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Are you just like, what the fuck? Like, what I'm going to do? And it really had you down in life? Yeah, for sure. I've done with a few of those. man like it's hard because for me like I'm already like I'm already a overthinker and I've been I've been blessed to go through certain obstacles in my life and continuously persevereign but and people keep asking me how you keep doing I just tell
Starting point is 00:36:16 I keep shit I keep waking up like I can't like I ain't about to hell myself out so it's like I'm gonna keep growing at it and for me it's just like Like, shit, you just learn over time. Like, you just learn what not to do. Like, a lot of this shit for me was I had to be self-taught because I was either hard-headed or naive to the fact that certain shit could or couldn't happen. And a lot of times my talent has lifted me over through a lot of obstacles and the outlets I've had. But sometimes that shit run out.
Starting point is 00:36:55 and I think the biggest thing that I've learned in this last two years are really not playing and really being in a school and trying to better myself as my self-preservation because if I know if I can't if I can't preserve what I got for me
Starting point is 00:37:13 I can't give it to my kids and that's the biggest thing that's in my life that's the most important thing I do all of the shit for them so at the end of the day I can't provide I can't be the person I want to be or need to be for them.

Starting point is 00:40:41 Welcome to another episode of a million dollars worth a game, been in the spotlight. Yes. We get used in the news you can use. Today we got Chicago's on. My man Smitty, and listen, what Smitty going to do, teach you how to build a legacy off of barred money. Dang. Teach you how to build a legacy. off of borrowed money.
Starting point is 00:40:55 But what you need to do from the RIP to get this free master class from Smitty, I'm talking about Rich Decisions University. What you need to do is text free. F-R-E-E-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-E-E-E-E-C-O-7-3-4-7-4-7-4-7-4. Text-Free, he's going to give you a free master class and to teach you how to build a legacy off of borrowed money.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Smitty, man, you come from Chicago. Before we get started with Chicago, what you got to ask me about the chicken thing? What chicken better? Uncle Remus or Harrell's. Don't lie, nigga Don't lie Let me say
Starting point is 00:41:27 I like Harold better All right I like Harold better Because listen He's from the west side So all the west side nigger's gonna say Ocarramus is a west side
Starting point is 00:41:34 Chicken show I'm gonna go with Harold Oh he can't go back home I'm gonna go back home They're gonna slap me all I'm gonna do it I put on for the city We ain't
Starting point is 00:41:42 We ain't doing that they know The whole thing Rich Decisions You know you gotta make Rich decisions University What I'm talking about You gotta get people
Starting point is 00:41:49 The game How to build a legacy Off of Bored money Like how was that going and what can you teach the people? And what is going to be in that free master class? But tell them what, you know, building his legacy off first. Give them that first.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Gotcha. So I could just teach people kind of like my game plan and my journey and how I did it. So I could just, you can repeat the process. So I got my LLC. I had a good credit report. So if I leverage my LLC with my good credit report, I can get access to what we call it, business credit card stacking, lines of credit stacking. If I can learn a sequence of what banks give me high limits with this specific credit score,
Starting point is 00:42:19 this specific LLC, I can get access to $100,000, $200,000. 50,000, right? Then I take that money. You only use this credit money to be able to make money off of it. It's called good debt. We call it good debt. We leveraging the debt to be able to make us money. This is people who do become rich, right? So what I do is I take the LLC, that good credit report and I start a business where that's going to make me cash flow. So the first thing I started was a semi-truck company, you know, that was my first idea thing I wanted to do to be able to make a lot of money, you know, as best as I can. I started that. I also took that way. How old was you when you started? That was just two, three years ago. I just started this whole business
Starting point is 00:42:52 stuff. How old was you? 286. Oh, you go ahead. Keep going. So then I used the same method, the same leverage, you know, going to banks, being able to get lines of credit, business credit cards, liquidating the money off those and being able to also obtain some Airbnb's in Miami. So I had went on a big deal.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I did like 10 Airbns in my, we had 20 Airbnbs, but we went half and half of one of my partners. So I got 10 Airbnbs. Big project in Miami, I leveraged my credit to do so. No money out of my pocket type of thing. Like, even if I had like $1,000, $2,000, I can. get access to the money, borrow it, you know, and then that's zero percent interest, right, and it obtains something that's going to make me cash flow.
Starting point is 00:43:28 So now that, the semi-truck probably cash flowed me $8,000 a month, you know, and I'm at home telling my Airbnb's in Miami. We put it on autopilot. That probably cashed me anywhere from, you know, $6,000 and $8,000 a month. So I'm just literally repeating the cycle of leveraging the money to be able to start me stuff that can make me cash flow. So now I want to be able to present a blueprint and a layout of how people can do it as well. So I'm Johnny Nobody, right?
Starting point is 00:43:50 Mm-hmm. I, you know, first of all, I text free to 909, 473, 4174, I text free to get the free, you know, a masterclass. What happened then? And I don't know nothing. Right. I'm sitting on the couch right now, a loser like he was, you know, in my mom crib, eating up all the food, playing the game, just a big loser, a grown adult loser. How do I get in the game using this? Right.
Starting point is 00:44:11 So if I expose you to how you can start from scratch, the first problem that everybody run into is they got bad credit. So I'm just, 60% of the world got bad credit. So the first thing is to teach you how to clean it up or to put you in a position to get somebody to clean it for you. So that's the first step. So we need to teach you how to clean or you need to get it clean. That has to happen. Then we got to learn how to build it. So we have to learn how to structure and build our personal side and the business side properly how the banks want us to build it.
Starting point is 00:44:35 So if I teach you how to build it, if I teach you how to clean it, and I teach you how to fund inside of it. Now this is how and which banks do we go to take our LLC and our good credit report, which banks do we go to be able to extend how much money we can get for ourselves to be able to go leverage. What's the best banks to give with you? What's the best banks? Man, the crazy part is Philly got the banks. Philadelphia got the banks. They got the bag. What banks?
Starting point is 00:44:57 Key banks. Key banks. Chilus. Univis. Y'all got some credit union. I think Philadelphia. Federal credit union. I like those.
Starting point is 00:45:07 So what we will do is some people are like, well, I don't live in Philly. We got a play where we will set you up a foreign entity so that we can get funding in all 50 states. So now I can come to Philly. I got a foreign entity in Philly because of those banks give us the bag. I can set up a foreign entity in Philly And this is all legit. This is too legit to quit. This is legit 100 million percent.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Like M.C. Hammer. 100%. So if I give my foreign entity come in Philly and go to see all four banks that are giving out the bag, I don't have to live here, but I can set up a virtual address, right, a virtual business address in here,
Starting point is 00:45:35 and I can set up a foreign entity and I can go get funded in Philly with all these banks. And then I can go get business credit cards and lines of credit from each bank if my business has been over for two years and I have two-year tax return. If you don't, which a lot of people don't got that.
Starting point is 00:45:48 So we can still. go in here and get business credit cards, leverage the personal credit, the LLC, no matter how long it's been open, as long as you meet the requirements on the personal side, we can be able to go in here and still get at least minimum business credit cards. And it may be, you know, 15, 20, $25,000 limits per bank. So I might come out here and get $100 on the lower end. If you're in my position where you got a business that's open for two years, you got tax return, I might come out here and get 300, 400. I'm taking that and I'm going to learn a investment module or a business module is going be able to create me cash flow once again you know or I'm putting it now I'm a brand
Starting point is 00:46:20 how much you got to pay off a month so if I borrow 100,000 so let's say I gave you 100,000 man man I think we're going to pay like a thousand dollars a month if I gave you 100,000 told you to pay me a hundred thousand dollars a month would you take it I burn you but see I'm you know I'm just playing yeah of course I'll get you a thousand dollars a minute not you're not sure we say man I'll take it no how much how much is it usually about like a thousand $1 a month. If I borrow it, so I'll break it down like this. I said that to you the other day. I'm going to break it down to him. I'm going to break it down to I guess. But I just
Starting point is 00:46:53 wanted to ask him. If I got 10 credit cards, right, they got $10,000 limits. That's $100,000. If I take this whole $10,000 and use it, my business or my business, right, I'm only going to have to pay $200 a month back on this car around that. I'm not saying it's exact, but around that amount. And then if I got five cards, I mean, if I got 10, whatever case, maybe that might be $2,000 or $1,000. Or if we got five cards, it would be $1,000. why I was going off. Let me, let me ask you a question now. Is it better that you pay it all back or pay more than what you, like, how do it go? Do it matter? So I do it like, or you pay the minimum? While you invest in and you cash for it, I'm not in a rush to pay the money back because
Starting point is 00:47:30 we got it at zero percent interest for a certain amount of time. So the cards we go after, we got zero percent interest for 12 months, 18 months. So if we got zero percent interest for that that period of time, all I do is get that flat hundred thousand back. So now they borrow money for free. You're going to give me $100,000 for free. Or I can use it to make me, flip it to make me one money. I give you back money. I don't got to pay extra money. Oh, come on, we can run this because this makes sense. And then, but after the interest kicked back in,
Starting point is 00:47:53 you don't want to be borrowing that money out no more. You just invest in and all that stuff because you got to pay the interest on it now. Now I don't. So you got 12 months to get off. Yeah. You got 12 months to say, you know what? Make it happen, baby. I'm going to take this. I'm going to do this food truck. I'm going to go get me a truck. I'm going to get me a flatbed and get three, four
Starting point is 00:48:09 flat beds and do this. Whatever you want to do, you got 12 months to get that shit off and pay it back after that 12 month that shit kick in on you it's gonna kick in on you so you should be in the midst of trying to invest your money to at least make that money back putting it back on that credit card paying it back off so we leveraging the debt to create the cash for the put in your pocket but also pay this money back so that you can make money off the money but also pay it back so that you can either use it again or once you pay it back you're going to get some more what we're going to get a whole we're going to get a whole round second round of money we call it one round two round three round
Starting point is 00:48:38 we are we can get credit is to infinity like there is no cap to how much money I can be able to get access to over a long period of time over a long period of time I can access to $2 3 million in credit I'm already at 750,000 give him that number yeah listen ma' need y'all to do to get this free masterclass I'm talking about bill legacy off a bar of money I'm talking about rich decisions university text free to 909 473 4174 909 473 4174 text free right now he's going to get a free master class Smitty is going to give you the game.

Starting point is 00:50:33 build it so clean the credit build the credit and then fund yourself but also once you learn that module then that sequence like that we can be able to leverage that to make you money as well so we can do it for yourself i want you to be able to clean your credit up build it properly how the banks want you to build it get access to the money to do your own thing but not only that but let's learn this module to make you money now so now somebody else don't got the expertise of how to go get 100k with their LLC they just they just got an LLC you come in
Starting point is 00:50:59 with the expertise and knowing how to get 100k with it okay let's start you your own funding company let me teach you how to start your own funding company. So now you can get other people's LLC's access to $100,000 and take a percentage. So now I can teach you how to get an $8,000 payout, $10,000 for one client by getting them access to $100,000, $200,000. That can change your life. And then if a motherfucker don't know how to get the money and you're like, no, I can get it for you, then they're like, all right, because now out of 10 motherfuckers going to say,
Starting point is 00:51:25 see what you can get me in your mind. If you're a hell of a finesse, you already know what the fuck you can get them. So you're like, all right, let me put some work in. You hang up. You smoke some weed like me if that's what you do. You might be a brusky warrior. You might be a brusky warrior. You know, you might, you know, the extra time to jerk off like low, you know.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Then you call them back, all right, I did my investigation. I can get you 100,000. What? Oh, my God. What I got to get you? All you got to do is give me 10,000. Niggas, hurry up. Get it for me.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Bring it to me. They're going to be happy to shit to get you that $10,000 because that's $90,000 of money that they did not have. Mm-hmm, that they probably would have never got. And this is the thing I'll say to people that some people would think like, man, this stuff hard or I got to learn this and that. Man, being broke is hard too. You know what I mean? You building wealth or you getting access to new information.
Starting point is 00:52:13 No, that's easy. Gilles used to be broke. Eating his mom food up, playing games on the couch, smoking bad weed. That's your thing. That's stuff hard. So, like, you building your legacy or learning what you need to learn to get yourself in the next position, that might be a little tough. But you pick your heart.
Starting point is 00:52:26 You know, that's what I like to present to people like, pick your heart. You know, you better want to do this type of stuff. Gil used to smoke hard. That's cocaine. He just smoked that hard. He loved that hard. So he picked his. He did because he think he could beat me a basketball.
Starting point is 00:52:37 So I understand where he comes from. Matter of fact, this makes sense now. It's all. He's put it in his blunt. It's all making sense to me now. I get it. I get it. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:52:46 That's all good. Yeah. It was wild. But see, now I go in there. And how long do I stay in this, Matt, does it just a class and is it a follow-up? Like, what do I get? Yeah, so we do like a 45-minute session. I just need 45 minutes of your time.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Probably an hour. You know, we stay on there, and I give you the game. So you're bad like that. You need an hour. I'm going to understand all this shit. I'm going to break it down to you where it's very clear for you to understand. And you can take actionable steps off the free stuff. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Do your thing. So one of my big calls is this, right? Why Smitty teach people still? Why you want to be able to build a community big enough that I can come together? If I teach you how to get a $100,000, you had to get $100K. And I got a community of 1,000 people. They all not to get access to money, right? And I bring y'all all back together.
Starting point is 00:53:27 And we do a big project. Oh, everybody put in $20,000. Let's do a group economic. We can buy a. skyscraper. If I teach everybody in my community, I've got probably a thousand people in my community. If everybody go get $100,000, $200,000, I tell people I, I'll set it up to fund this big
Starting point is 00:53:42 investment for all of us to be able to do something bigger than we ever probably can imagine. Because if we put together a million, $2 million, we go get something that's worth $10 million, you know, $20 million, and then now we cash flow off of that and we divvy up to the percentages, however we've got divvy up. That's one of my goals that I want to set up for my community, that people that's coming in and tapping in with me and how I want to set
Starting point is 00:54:00 things up. If I teach everybody to go, you know, get the money, we can come back together and we can put something bigger together. That's major, man. Now, what y'all need to do right now? Y'all need to text free. I'm talking about Rich Decisions University, but text free to 9-09-473-4174-9-09-473, 4174.
Starting point is 00:54:19 He's going to give you a free master class to teach you out to build legacy off a bar of money. One more question. How did you, how did you beat the streets of Chicago and go to this right? I never was super in the streets like that. but I seen I seen some bad stuff happening quick you know what I mean so one of the one of my other terrible stories that made me just snap by all that not doing that wild stuff was one of my friends
Starting point is 00:54:41 got killed I was living with one of my guys uh we was real tight and then we went outside we having fun and stuff like that we uh come out of the club he gets shot he get killed my roommate that threw me that threw me all off I'm like no this this ain't this ain't the type of path I'm trying to go down you know uh I got I got family members that already went down that route too I knew I I got learned what not to do. Like, I think what was going on with that route. I ain't want that. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:55:05 But I also was, I was just in the midst of doing all the crazy stuff a little bit at first because, you know, that's all I knew, too. And I was just seeing it. I'm around. It's my environment. I snapped out of that stuff. Like, one day when he got killed, bro, I got to think, bro. I'm like, I don't want to die type of stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:20 And I just started seeing too many people around that I knew dropping. I mean, that stuff, I got got out of my environment. So the first thing I thought was if I moved away from this stuff, I don't have to be in it, you know, to consume it. because it's like, bro, if you put a baby in a room with people clapping, the babies start clapping. And it's like natural. It ain't even a thing that I kind of got drug into it a little bit more so than me
Starting point is 00:55:40 wanting to do it, type of thing. So I had to snap out of it, really. I think that woke me up, though. My best friend getting killed, I think that woke me up. And then you're on the next level, man. Once again, text that number, man. Text free, the 909-473, 41-74, man. And check him out, Smitty, underscore, Smitty the goat, underscore on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Graham, listen, man, he's going to give you a free master class, man, teach you how to build legacy off a bar of money, man. Anything you want to say before we go, Smitty? Yeah. Also, I wanted to shout you out and appreciate you for, man, the episode you did that really touched me, too, with the Chicago on you did. Oh, yeah, yeah, we was in it. I felt what you felt when you was telling them what you was telling them, because now that's
Starting point is 00:56:18 how I feel that I've seen the other side of this shit, because, like, I know that they don't know. Like, they only see in a part of what they're a part of, but they don't know the other side of this. And this other side of this is big, bro. It's green on the side of the side of the shit. The other side of outside of your neighborhood? Oh my God, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Outside of your neighborhood is vast. I'm talking about it's the world waiting for you. There's much opportunities, man. And that made, that really pushed me like, damn, you know what I mean? I really got to push my measures harder because I feel the same way that you felt on that video. It's the same way I feel that when I could teach people like this type of stuff so that they can't got to do what they've been doing and that stuff like, that's not even comparable to this stuff. You don't be making millions for real doing that stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:56 This business world, this is where you make the millions. That little petty stuff that they be doing, they think they make it money. That stuff, not nothing. But, you know, that just, I just wanted to say shout out to you for that. Well, listen, man. Shout out to, you know, Smitty. Shout out to Rich Decisions University. Once again, text free to 909-473, 41-74 and get the free masterplast.
Starting point is 00:57:14 This was another episode of a million dollars worth a game, been in the spotlight, and it's just like that. If you could, um, if you could change anything about the NBA, what would you change? Coming from a player perspective. Coming from a player's perspective, I wish it was more like, I wish they had more for people who didn't, I would say, like, not so much pan out, but like, people who just don't got their shit together, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's no rulebook to this shit. And for me, they're getting better with it now, but, like, when I'm not.
Starting point is 00:58:00 was coming out and which made it which made it so hard because they always do a knock on dudes who's coming out of high school and like there was no preparation for this shit I'm saying they didn't prepare you for and nobody could have prepared this for social media when we got going
Starting point is 00:58:16 now but like at the same time there's the lack of preparation going into it and the expectations and how to budget your time and all of that they could have done a lot better with showing you how to be an adult in a sense.
Starting point is 00:58:38 You know what I'm saying? Like, don't get me wrong. Like, we all got our time and we as men, we don't like to be told what to do. But for some of us who come into a shit ton of money really early in age, and we only got a certain span to really make this money and really get to that bag, unless you're really fortunate to make it.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Like, there's no, there's no guidance to it. There's no guidance with it financially. Like, I was walking in the tellers at 19, 20 years old, really never, really having a conversation and understanding what was going on. Just asking these people for 20, 30,000, knowing I had it, but, like,
Starting point is 00:59:23 not really understanding the transaction of it, what I'm doing with it, what's going on, what I'm gambling with it. I'm not getting. like how you just needed it on you i just not even no i didn't even need it on me because i've never really been in cash due but i'm playing cards i'm playing cards with chuck mellow kmart camby we got 3040 thousand on the table you lose 30 40 000 by the next trip you got to pay 30 40 000 right what's the most you ever lost the most i ever lost and a game was probably
Starting point is 00:59:51 like 20 000 25 000 what's the most you ever seen somebody lose like 200 bang playing cards That was a plain ride from 40 to That was a plane ride You know bullshit That was a plane ride I've seen somebody lose Then a million dollars
Starting point is 01:00:07 In the casino Oh But when I tell you Took it like a chant Like wasn't worried about it No nothing Like bro I'm not that type I win 500 out the slots
Starting point is 01:00:20 I'm gone Like you ain't You ain't got to worry about me I'm never gonna win that much But You lose a damn near I am and you're not even sweating oh he's a big one like you just I'm like boy you're different different different god damn I wouldn't have slept right for two years
Starting point is 01:00:44 shit different god damn I am in one name and like it was a breeze though like just I'm sitting here like, bro, that's $300,000. Just like, damn. That's when I knew. It was just like, this shit ain't for me. It's just not for me. Because if I ever get to that point where I'm doing shit like that with money like that and I know where I come from, like, I can't.
Starting point is 01:01:20 It's just not happening. Yeah. It's just not happening. Right. That's cars and everything. Like, I look at the shit. Like, if I'm a. be selfish with it.
Starting point is 01:01:28 I look at so much other shit that I could buy for me and do for me than... With $300,000 and $800,000. And you thought he's just to wear a hands like... Yeah. That's crazy. Million dollars in the night.

You didn't have no, uh, there wasn't no people to give you all no game of information that played the game before you all to understand about the women, the drugs, the groupie men. Man, people don't talk about that enough. Because, because what happened is you go to these cities, you're an athlete, you're that guy. Next thing you know, you're in the clubs, you understand.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Because everybody's going to cater to you in the city, the strip clubs, the food spots, the regular clubs. And then there'd be a movement of people. It'd be this movement of women that's for everybody that might just look good. You understand. You're fresh. You're wet behind the ears.
Starting point is 01:04:13 And then you've got a movement of men who might have money just want to be coast, which now they want to arrive. So now you don't know no better. You in a whatever city you're in. Especially if you ain't one of them quiet towns, like a like a Denver like a you Salt Lake City like a Portland if you ain't in one of them cities if you if you up in Milwaukee you up in L.A. You're in New York.
Starting point is 01:04:37 You in Miami. In faction. All these, it's going down. The chicks, the chicks is on you. Somebody trying to get pregnant ASAP. Immediately. Somebody trying to be your baby mom. What do you think the leading is established till these cats can be on point when they're
Starting point is 01:04:52 coming in? Because that money hits your account and it's like, All right, it's like, when that money hit your accounting, you come from where we come from, it's a lot of problems because it's not like sometimes the other side. The white cats, when they come to the league, they people already be set up. Got the crib, got the house, you know what I mean?

You got to buy your brother crib. The two homeboys, they don't even tell you nothing. But they hold things, yeah, man. Boy, he's going to the league.
Starting point is 01:05:26 I'm going to get me a chain or roly. I'm going to give me a rife. They be counting the money. Like, you got so much pressure. When they check in, you're putting your hat on. Everybody adding the money up, damn. He's going to be, what's the name? All right.
Starting point is 01:05:37 He's going to L.A. I know I'm moving out there, would he? You got five homies out here, with you. You got a whole apartment joint that's with them. You keep getting complaints from the supervisor because they smoke and weed, running bras out of the all night. You have practice. You don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 01:05:54 But you got the business. and they keep calling you. Sure. What is, like, like, is it anything set up or should be set up in the league so people
Starting point is 01:06:01 could get these guys to gain about how to... I think, I mean, it isn't, but I think it should. Like, and honestly,
Starting point is 01:06:07 I think it comes in tears and this, our responsibility is, as the former players. And I only think it's on the league. Like, I really think it's us on us as a players,
Starting point is 01:06:18 like, and it's certain, and I say tears, like, because everybody is, everybody is the same. Everybody didn't come through this thing.
Starting point is 01:06:24 So you got your lottery picks You got the dudes who you know is going to be I mean pretty much a dudes who are going to stick for the next couple years or whatever But you've got to even Within those lottery picks you got at least four or five dudes Who you know is like that really got an opportunity to be that dude So if you got a guy like A Zion or
Starting point is 01:06:50 Let's say KD just for circumstances but like a type of tiered dude like that coming through the league where you know he's about to make ways you got to sit him down and put him with other dudes who've been in that situation who've been one or two picks, three, four or five picks who understand the circumstances of what the pressure you're about to endure,
Starting point is 01:07:13 the money you're about to endure, the females that's about to come into it, all of that. And it goes down from, you know, those top five to top eight, ten dudes to the 10 to 20 dudes and then the dudes who like scrapping to still
Starting point is 01:07:27 stick around because believe it or not the dudes who be scrapping and stick around is the ones who really live and check to check blowing their shit because they're trying to keep up

Starting point is 01:16:46 Break this story, yeah. So I'm in, I'm in Atlanta. Oh, my God, you was in Magic City all night. Nah, it was, which one? Gold one?
Starting point is 01:16:58 Nah, it was like Mollies or some shit like that back then. Oh, my God. So I'm in the strip club. I ain't going to throw him under the bus, so I had to go to North Carolina the next day, right?
Starting point is 01:17:11 So the flight, the team playing, or the team bus left at 9. But he was leaving at, like, 9.30. So I missed all that shit. I ain't wake up to, like, 12.31. He was going to North Carolina, and the team was going somewhere else.
Starting point is 01:17:30 It just so happened that we had a conversation the night before, right after the game, that I was going to be flying back with him. So I was good with the team. But once I realized, like, As the night was going on, I'm like, nah, fuck that. I'm just go back to the crib, like, since the flight. So I hit the trainer or whatever. And luckily the trainer bailed me out.
Starting point is 01:17:54 So I missed the team plane to go back to the crib. And I missed his plane to go to North Carolina. And they're fucking around in Atlanta. It was like. How did you? We drove. I drove from Atlanta to North Carolina. Because I couldn't, I wasn't going to fly back to our city
Starting point is 01:18:14 and just be coming through the regular air. because the NBA teams they know too much and they're just like they know everybody in whatever in your city you see somebody just walking through the gate whatever
Starting point is 01:18:27 it would be the most random shit and they were like oh what was you doing walking through it I thought you was flying back and so oh for sure it's literally federal 100% so you drove back
Starting point is 01:18:40 we drove from Atlanta fucking law on 85 drove from Atlanta to North Carolina caught the jet from Carolina back to Oklahoma. Locked up. And this is crazy, man.
Starting point is 01:18:56 You had some crazy nights, man. I had some nights. I ain't going to lie. I lived a life, but I'm fortunately to be on the good side of it. I've seen a lot of motherfuckers on that side and I ain't seen them since. Damn.
Starting point is 01:19:09 The women in drugs and the part of you. Straight up. Fortunately for me, Like, I never, like, dibbled and dabbled and all that chemistry shit. So I kept it weed and not a little bit of liquid. People always look at me like I'm some henny guy and all that shit. And I don't even really drink like that. Like, I ain't going to hold you.
Starting point is 01:19:28 I swam. No, that was the mean, man. What it made it so bad was, like, it was a bottle of champagne that they put the meme. And so it was like, if you drink henny, you know what a henny bottle looked like. And you drink champagne, like, if you drink, you know what bottles look like. So, but it was just the name that they gave me. so amen please but now listen if you um if you had to get some game as young boys a lot of young cats in the NBA NFL a lot of them there's young cats in sports they watch this show if you had to
Starting point is 01:19:58 get them some game what would you tell them to protect themselves because now it was cool then but now it's 50 times nastier than when it was out here like the clout I'm talking about the clout the I'm talking about the seaman demons they used to fuck cameras for one the DMs the IG all this shit I think the number one the number one thing I would tell them is to understand
Starting point is 01:20:20 and develop a true relationship with yourself and understand like you don't need the applause everybody else to be a hundred
Starting point is 01:20:32 like you don't need that you don't need nobody else's validation to feel like you're 100 you don't need nobody else validation to feel like that's what makes you happy, sad or whatever else
Starting point is 01:20:41 do move how you want to move on your on your time Don't get me wrong Don't disrespect Nobody else time Be late Stupid shit is fines And shit like that
Starting point is 01:20:50 Like I did But at the same time Like you got to establish That precedent With yourself first Because it's easy to get lost And caught up In some bullshit
Starting point is 01:21:00 And I've seen it Like If you don't have a true grasp And hold on Who the fuck you is Doing this shit Right Like it's easy
Starting point is 01:21:07 It's real easy And there They'll let you Like That let you drown die drink your blood everything right and it's straight like that hey no chasing like they ain't there's people out here who really don't mean no good positive intent for nobody right but
Starting point is 01:21:26 themselves and for us athletes we tend to be so gullible and you got the money you got the money you got this you got that and and it's easy to get motherfuckers leeches up under you if you're circling tight if you're not whole as a person you don't need nobody who's sitting in trying to blow smoke up your ass or do something for you. Nah, I don't need you take the trash, I'll go take the shit out myself. Like male groupie shit, like,
Starting point is 01:21:52 oh, let me go, I'll go get this girl for you. Nah, bro, I go get this bitch myself. Like, I don't need you to talk to me for nothing. Like, I don't need no spokesversons. You see what I got right here? She knows what I do. This is... Ain't none of that.
Starting point is 01:22:05 Right. So when people, like, that's the first thing I tell him and the second thing I tell him, for real, for real, is understand... every brother ain't a brother every sister ain't a sister like everybody don't want the best for you even though they may have the same last name as you
Starting point is 01:22:22 they may look like you they may whatever whatever and a lot of people don't understand that it's like because for me I preach a lot of black love and black unity because that's what I want to see and that's where I want to unite without I also want to unite
Starting point is 01:22:35 and preach on a lot of the same either the same level or higher thinkers because the moment I continuously try to keep pulling you up pulling you up and you keep pulling me back like bro I'm not I'm not about to sit here and keep reaching my hand down like I'm even going to
Starting point is 01:22:51 go to the next level without you or you're going to come on but I'm going up I'm not I'm not about to sit here and just keep doing this with you bro I can I don't got that kind of time we know I'm not fortunate enough I'm 37 years old if I'm blessed as a black man I got another
Starting point is 01:23:07 25 30 years out here so I ain't and I got four miles of feet of my own so I ain't got time to be helping a whole other grown-ass man trying to get out the mud like we all let's go right
Starting point is 01:23:20 you know what I'm saying so I think for me for the young to kick the truth to the young black youth like bro it's too much it's too much competition we just not enough unity
Starting point is 01:23:31 and that's the only thing I hate about basketball football we really don't apply to us as much anymore in baseball but like those teen sports are opposed like a golf or a tennis
Starting point is 01:23:43 or something like that because then you really get to understand what your what your team look like because we we as basketball player we've been built on the team we've put in this certain mentality oh it's all about the team it's all about the team it's all about the team when actuality you have an individual team as you have a team as individuals that is more important like for me I got four kids I got two mothers
Starting point is 01:24:15 like my parents I got siblings they got their kids by the end of the day they grown ass people I got your own situation these are seven people I'm reliable
Starting point is 01:24:26 I'm responsible for if worse come to worse I got to make sure they're good even before me to an extent because they
Starting point is 01:24:37 the mothers obviously take care of my kids So that's just a given. My mother, 100%. That's what I do it for. Other than that, bro, you got to get it how you live.
Starting point is 01:24:51 I'm not about to be sitting out here at 38 years old going to the strip club spending $10,000 with my homies. Like, bro, who's spending that? We're going to go to the bar and get a drink. Right. And you're going to, we might go Dutch on that. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:06 This ain't done. Like, I ain't, nah. I ain't, no. I'm all about, listen, we're on the upside. We're trying to make bread together. All right, cool. But all that other is just key, key to be around. That's dead.
Starting point is 01:25:19 Right. That shit, I've been told you that. Yeah. Huh? I don't hang with niggas just to be hungry with niggas. I did that already, man. I did that for enough time in my motherfucking life, man. Man, it's time to get to it, bro.
