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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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
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
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.
Damn.
Like while they pops are sitting there watching on the sideline come to practice
and I've seen another growing man getting, they got into it,
and he got choked out in front of his pop.
God damn, you can't.
Like, that shit.
They go down.
Yeah, they go down.
Yeah, they got to throwing the motherfucking hands at you though.
You did.
Oh, I'm getting out the way for sure.
Well, I got out the way.
You slipped all that shit
Did you return fire?
I return fire
I don't know if I connected
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
When anything
When you get into a fight
You gotta play defense first
So if you
Because you're first of all
Like especially if you in the streets
You don't really know
What shit coming from
You gotta make sure
Anything straight
You get lined up with somebody
So especially when you in the L
you don't really get it shaking that often,
especially if it's in the game
and practice,
they're going to let you,
I mean,
they'll let you get the Rockins.
When I was coming out,
this is 04 or 5.
But now there's,
nah,
it ain't even going to get to that far.
I don't even see them barking.
It's just like,
boy,
me at the bus.
If you ain't even at the bus,
then I ain't got no word.

Yes.
At one time, Ray,
you was fucking them up on the memes.
I'm always catching the memes, bro.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
basketball
to me
it is
pleased
where you could be
like okay
no
they're just
saying that
no man
we was up
we was up
one motherfucking point
you shoot
79%
from the foul line
you had
two foul shots
with
with 1.8 seconds
left
to put us up
to win
you miss
both of them
bitches
you lost
this game
bitch
you 80%
You miss both of them
That's something different from a nigger
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
Yeah
But it's not
Yeah
But it's totally different
Than my motherfucking mind
You feel what I'm saying
I appreciate it

But like, damn, but he really had me on that time.
And a lot of my shit, especially towards the end,
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
And none of this should matter.

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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
Key banks.
Key banks.
Chilus.
Univis.
Y'all got some credit union.
I think Philadelphia.
Federal credit union.
I like those.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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

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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Now, NBA.
I think
these young cats today is just
energetic. They ain't playing no games.
If you had to pick five
from right now,

Maxie
Okay
That's right
I like Maxis
I work out with him a lot
In L.A.
That's my young boy
He's a fucking beast
He's a problem
He's a
No fear, no nothing.
But he's a wholesome dude, though.
Like, he ain't trying to be nobody.
He's not, he's just a dude that won the hoop,
and that's all he's about.
I respect.
Every time he's saying, all he do is smile.
That's it.
You know what I mean?
He ain't got, he don't have no bad days.
I'm looking to just do every morning at 7 a.m.
I'm over his bitch, brunt and I'm old getting out the car.
He over there.
Yo, it was good.
We ready?
Like, damn.
You would get your business.
7 a.m.
Shout out to his old, you nutter-ass, nigger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hope we beat this shit out of Dallas, you done that's there.
Now, when you came in the lead, right?
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
He bought their dad, the truck, they happen.
He only really neat.
But us, we got to come in and everybody looking for us.
You got to buy your mom a crib.
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.
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.
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.
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
could get these guys
to gain about how to...
I think,
I mean,
it isn't,
but I think it should.
Like,
and honestly,
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,
like,
and it's certain,
and I say tears,
like,
because everybody is,
everybody is the same.
Everybody didn't come through
this thing.
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
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,
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
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
with the Joneses
because at this point
you barely baking bread
but you're still playing on a team
with Bron
Kyrie, Kev
other dudes who
out here
driving the roses
and the fans
and they're switching up
different days
and whatever
whatever
you know what I'm
saying you you may now
he making
40 million because
you play on his team you think we make it 40
million no no no no no no he making
40 million you make it 800,000
it's easy for dudes
I've seen them get caught up in that and all that
fortunately I've
never been in a situation to where I've
lived outside my means to that
extent but like
it happens all the time
like that shit is it's a real
thing and then like
before you
you were saying like people don't realize
like the groupy dudes is the worst
they vicious they vicious because they all
it's always dude like oh no I got the
I got the weed I got the bitches
I got this I got that
they just won't be around
and they want to be around and before you know
they quote unquote pulling tagging motherfuckers long
but before you realize you got a $30,000 tab
that he looking at you to pay
like yeah you're having a good time
but this got to get taken care of
they're going
where we're going after this
It's the ride, the liquor, the crib we got to go to, the hotels, like, all of that shit adding up.
And that shit on you, you sitting there looking like, bro, I ain't even asked for all this.
I could have went to sleep by myself for all this.
Like, he ain't even like that.
I ain't asked for none of this shit.
None.
Real talk.
And, well, they need to let the players know.
They need to let me come down to all the rookies soon as they get there.
Let me just tell you all something, right?
All the rookies there is the union.
The bitch is all around the country.
See, you don't know that these big.
is everywhere like broken glass
because this is your first time in the city.
Yeah.
You hear me?
These is going to be some of the baddest bitches
you ever going to see in your motherfucking life.
Bitch feet look like she never walked on them.
Like she laid in the baby crib till she was 23.
You hear me?
You hoped and prayed for.
Right.
She going to come.
She's going to play in it right there.
You don't understand.
You met this bitch.
I was playing the Denver Nuckets.
And being your man DMs on the same team.
And you know what you,
And you know what, and you know what you ask?
You ask what's the popping spot tonight.
And guess what they tell you?
They told you where all the basketball teams come.
Go to cookies.
Yeah, and all this is the upscale when y'all want to go here.
And guess what she knows that y'all had a game tonight
and all the motherfucking players come to the motherfucking cookies.
And guess what she's going to be.
And guess what they're going to be.
And guess what they're going to think of some bad bitches.
They're going to be like this.
And guess what you're going to do.
You're going to see this bitch.
and you're going to be you're going to look this bitch in the eyes and you're going to say shit like man i buy this bitch of bids
this bitch so bad god damn yeah i drink this bitch bad for them right then you're going then you
go and then you're going to drink the bad for it's going to be over and then guess what
you in the club with a bunch of six seven six eight six nine lanky motherfuckers and they guess what
she know these niggas play for the other team so guess what she do she lock eyes with you
niggas.
And that's all you
was waiting for
because you was trying
to get a look
from that motherfucker
now you're like
I'd your exchange
numbers.
You don't know
she's going to be
in that same
motherfucker club
when the Detroit Pistons

But she juggling like Ketina, y'all.
She's just looking to catch one of you, nickers.
That's all.
She gets one of you niggas.
She's good for ever.
Oh, I'm pregnant.
I need child support.
8,900 of fucking money.
No, but it's crazy
because a lot of times, like,
we think it'll be like that, but
it's just like that with a lot of
them in general. It didn't even like
a female need money and nothing like that.
It's a lot of,
he just wanted, like, be able to stand next to somebody who, quote,
right, right, right, it don't even be necessarily they want to set you up for the child,
but a lot of times when you meet your bitch like that and then y'all stand by each other,
it don't never really be no trust there.
So then she end up not being your bitch.
That's what I'm saying.
She'd be anybody else, but.
And then when she's not your bitch, she like, uh, but we got two kids together.
So child support, 16,400 of them.

But when I tell you, I left there, we left there one night,
went somewhere down the block,
and I didn't get, I didn't get to practice until like 9 o'clock.
We had practice at 11.
And I got there at 9, and I slept the last two hours at the arena.
I never went home.
And when I tell you, that shit was in fucking incredible.
Well, I tell you I had a time, I had a time.
Yeah.
But how'd you play that day?
Went nuts.
Oh, you were crazy, huh?
Crazy.
Crazy.
Unfortunately, that was one of my spills.
If I had a, if I went out, I play well.
Well, I'd have been, I'd have lived in the club.
Shut the fuck a, a nigga tomorrow.
I'll be trying.
I was trying that at one point.
Didn't he got hit to me, so I had to dull it down.
I had to tell the coach, fuck you're talking about, nigga.
When I go home and I get eight hours of sleep, I had 14.
When I drink Henny
And I'm in a dog
These bitches out
And I show up to the arena
And eight
And get three hours of sleep
I average 34.7
I'm getting drunk
And that's crazy
You ever missed the bus?
What?
What happened when you miss the bus?
They leave?
I don't know if they leave
Bro, first time
So you got to get on the plane
To go catch them
No, no, I
Did miss the plane
First of all I missed a plane
One time
But they didn't know
I missed the plane
So I got over on
How the fuck
I don't know.
How you?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
and develop
a true relationship
with yourself
and understand
like you don't need
the applause
everybody else
to be a hundred
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
We got to get to it, man.
We got to get to it.
We got to make something.
If we're not bringing value to each other, what the fuck we're doing, man?
What is we doing?
What is we doing?
I mean, we just
gonna always keep getting around.
Yeah, me, you've seen the game last night.

I got to get to it.
Hey, yeah, what we're doing today, man?
How we get?
Yeah, sure.
Right.
That's what I'm looking for.
Yeah, shit.
Because at the end of the day, you got to leave something to these motherfucking babies, man.
That's it.
If you don't lead nothing to these babies, you ain't did your job.
And like you said, we're in the cold world ways, though.
The selfish shit out here, the manipulation,
you know, everybody playing a victim to make you feel bad.
Like, no, no.
You're breathing like I'm breathing.
baby, you better go get it yourself,
especially if you've grown.
Straight up.
If you grown,
motherfuckers entitled.
It's just wild out here.
And it's like,
you know,
if you're young and you're in a league,
like I feel sorry for a lot of them balls, man,
because the shit that's coming their way,
a lot of dudes can fuck their game up
because they got to worry about who,
you know,
the cousins or the brothers or the aunties
or, you know,
all types of motherfuckers is
anybody, you know,
everybody wants someone.
money.
Everybody.
Everybody wants some money.
And if you ain't got a motherfucking
strong foundation,
for real, if you ain't got a mom to be like
fuck everybody.
Yeah, straight up.
You send them some money if you want.
I'm going, I'm going fuck you up.
Word.
Then you ain't good.
You're done.
Because you got to think about them.
Em since your account and, you know,
everybody got an idea.
I need 10 grand because I'm trying to do this.

Everybody got an idea.
But they're the worst part of, like,

Because I'm from Jersey.
Like, I was, like, if somebody told me that story, right?
If you told me that story, this happened from somebody from somewhere else.

And that state
It's just like, damn

I was just saying, like, police.
Like, we ain't got the NBA police.
So I was like...
Hip-up police.
No, y'all do got NBA police.
I mean, yeah.
Because the motherfucker you see you drove back,
a motherfucker would have been like,
why the fuck you got off that playing at 4.30?
Bullshit.
Listen, you heard with Carmelo said when he was on the show,
he's like, they know everything.
Yeah.
If you go on the corner in the mirror,
and just go in the store and buy a Lucy cigarette.
We knew he was down in Baltimore by a Lucy.
No, dead ass done.
He said the motherfucker of the commission was like,
I know what you're doing down there in Baltimore.
Cut it the fuck out.
Like, what?
No, for real.
That shit was like, I ain't going to hold you.
If you, like, very few people probably got that, like,
one of those calls, like, when you really was, like,
in trouble or something, especially with the league and shit
and David Stern called you.
And that shit was, like, really, like,
It was, like, worse than going to the principal.
When you got that call, what happened?
He called you.
He called me.
Spliff.
How are you doing?
He called me when I got suspended.
We played, this was when Denver,
when I was played against in New York,
when we got in the fight.
And he called,
and the first I ain't answered.
I don't know anybody would call me blocked.
Like, I ain't answering that shit.
And then this was back in the day
when you still listen to voicemails and shit like that.
A voicemail hit
And it was a secretary
Like this is David Stern's office
We're gonna call you back
Uh, Davis Stern expecting you call you back
This and nah nah
So I'm like man
I ain't calling this motherfucker back
I ain't gonna lie
That's the type of shit I was
I ain't calling this motherfucker back
And uh
My agent at the time
I'm like listen
It's very free
I'm not gonna tell you what to do
But it's very few things
That you're gonna have to do
And what you're gonna have to do
Is you're gonna have to call this man back
And I was like shit
And I called him back
He got on the phones
You know, you're a very talented
Player
And let off with all the good shit
Like, oh, I bet
Like I'm thinking anything smooth
It's cool
And then he dove right in
Like, you know
You're ready to fuck your whole career up
And
This league can make you and break you
And you know
Through shit like that out there
And I was just like
Damn
Let me get my shit together
Real quick
You know what I'm saying
and that's what like
And right out
It was fucked up because right that's when I was like
Really starting to come into my own
Me and Mello was like the highest scoring duo
And the league and shit
And then we had traded
We got getting to the fight
Then we trade for AI
Then I started coming off the bench
And it was just like
That's when I got putting that role to like
Oh he's just the dude come off the bench
Opposed of like an actual starter
So you know that shit
That shit change your bread
You start and you come off the bench
you go from making
down there the max to
and their mid-level
I'm saying so
and I mean it still worked out
because obviously I stuck around for so long
but
how many years total
16

something you needed that call
though commission to call them
J.R um

pound before each game is not going to work.
You're like, Jay, out of the fucking NBA locker rooms
and smell like you got the other locker rooms sticking there.
I'm not going to lie, bro.
That shit makes me mad because I'm with my bread back.
They suspended me and finding me all the games for that weed, bro.
Now you can just smoke whatever you want.
How much all together?
I lost a couple hundred.

I never used to smoke for the game like that

For the games like that
I can't do it
Nah
Probably to perform the best
It's like even if even like
To me even if you did
Like you got like two hours before the game
Before like when you're there
To the game start
You got like two hours
So you're not going to be hot anyway
But for me I was always paranoid
Because people would already assume
that I smoke.
So that's the first thing
he's going to say,
oh, this is.
Ah, he does, he done.
Yeah.
So I was like,
at worst,
I can't give him this excuse.
You know what I'm saying?

a little because you was?
Do you think I'm a

My fuckers
Yeah,
I don't know paranoid.
I'm not a paranoid smoker.
Do you think I'm out?

I'd be too lax
because I smoke.
I get those complaints
shit to be happening.

But, like, you go from, my motherfuckers drinking Budweiser and Coors Light to halftime,
smoking cigarettes and joints at halftime, to the strict-ass shit to where you can't do nothing.
And now you open it back up to her, okay, you good, you know.
And then you ridicule and do all of this shit
and like dehumanize people
because you trick the public into thinking
they're like these fiends or drug addicts
and shit like that so you lose deals

and it's like bro you fuck with people life
and now a sudden now it's just okay
now it's cool you open it back to floodgates up
