Um Karee James Cook James James Hart Steph

Steph Clay Clay Clay And I'm gonna go I'm going to go, um, I'm going to go Sergei Baca. Damn. Damn.

I thought somebody else was going to go in LA. So, I'm just, all right. So, I forgot somebody. Yeah, you forgot. To me, I thought you was going to sit. I ain't even going. Oh, South Central L.A., Russell. Oh, shit.

Damn, I am tripping. Russ, yeah, I'm tripping. Yeah, I'm just making sure, you know what I mean? Yeah, I forgot about Russ. I did forget about Russ. Russ would definitely be tough. Okay. So we took this to serve the Baca ass out of it.

Definitely. Oh, because I was, I was about. I was tripping. I was about say, Kevin, if it's some underline beef, we won't go call Russ who up right now. You should have called. I'm glad you called me out on that. You know what I mean?

Listen, we living in the world where there's those social media things. I will put, as a matter of fact, I will put, I will put, I will put, I will put, I will put, um, Russ after fourth and put Clayford. So, okay. That's before Clay. Believe that. And I like that line up. That was a, Sergei Bacher here.

You threw me off. I mean, I forgot about, I mean, I forgot about. I mean, I've, I read it, I know, yeah, you're right. You're right, my bad. In your time, in your time, I was tripping. And your time of playing ball, you've been on many teams. You know, I know it's a different sound right now, but, you know, when you say, okay, see, all

way back to Seattle, we, what was the soundtrack sounding like? What was the soundtrack that was getting played through these locker rooms the most? Like, who was getting played the most? All the way up to now? Yeah. Like, who, it named some artists. that was getting played that was like the turn up for the

you know like it was the turn up for that locker room yeah well so Wayne was the guy you know what I'm saying like it's good choice 07 I came out 07 so I want to say from like 07 to 2012

Wayne taking over the league like everybody wanted to hang with Wayne everybody listened to him right we searched for all his music right and whoever he bought out we was listening to and then that came with Drake

you know what I'm saying Nikki Minaj right And then Drake took over, you know, the mantle from Wayne, I felt, you know. Absolutely. But we listened to everything, but I felt like those two artists were the ones. They got the locker room pop. Yeah. Listen, you're suiting up now when you're suiting up.

What right now, that's right now, that's you, I'm talking about who are the top three you're going to to play right now when you're going to go in there and put 40 on them? When I go in our locker room, it's mainly Lord Baby. Everybody on our team feels like Little Baby is the best rapper out. He had took over for Drake from Drake. Excuse me. But I'm the, I'm the one that's like, keep trying to keep Drake alive in the locker room, you know what I mean? So he'll be drinking little baby fights going on the locker robot.

And then they drop a joint together. And then it's like, yeah, those two right now are taking over. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like a lot of these young dudes in the game, NBA young boy, I got dudes on our teen I was born in the year 2000, dog. These dudes listen to them. they can't even understand the hove or or drake or anything hip hop they listen to the straight you know i call it like rock and roll rap you know i'm saying the oosies of the world those type

of guys that make that type of music that's all it is just so so so so let me ask you a question so they don't get no say-so on the locker room um no no damn oh so so so so in order for them to get them to say-so they got to get there an hour early yeah yeah early and they threw their music go and then when all the vets coming is like, come on, all right. They're coming in out early but they ain't going to lie. Some of them be, they, you know,

they take over the arcs and they be doing their thing with it, you know? So, but if you, if you're throwing something that we don't even vibe with in the locker room now, somebody else's turn. You know what I mean? We get them a chance. Okay.

I never, I never see you turn up. I see you and I just see you just, you just be coming in. I'm a grind. I'm coming to beast mode. I'm coming to destroy because we living in the time now, whereas though, well it used to be that the rapper wanted to be the street cat now it's like the street cat

want to be the rapper the athlete want to be the rapper and it's like you know some rappers want to be the athlete but you what is your whole take on that and like your whole approach i mean we are artists at the end of the day you know i want to be creative and express ourselves and i don't see a problem with you know a rapper want to go hoop or a hooper that got a studio in the crib I seen Wayne, he built the whole half pipe in the back of his house. Like, he trying to express himself in different ways. So I feel as though, like, everything is like, there's no more boundaries on anything, you know what I'm saying? And everybody wants to find a way to be involved, you know, creatively, you know what I'm saying?

So, you know, you're seeing Damien as a rapper, it feels like he's doing both in the league and dropping music, doing videos, you know what I'm saying? And it's cool. It feels like, shit, he should be doing that. You know what I'm saying? He can make both of them work. you know and I feel like everybody's looking at it that way I'm multi-faceted I can do I can do all things that's all that was just a setup we need 16 bars from you right now I'm really do the beat for you you ready you got 16 I don't got 16 I don't got 16 if I did I

would spit it but I just don't did you ever write before yeah for sure like did you record record yeah and you ain't never just say no it's all for like it's all for me to be honest like I was just like wanted to try that shit one day and I was like I got shit on my mind. I want to get off over a beat I just keep that shit like that might get me. Come on hold on this the key though. Yeah, you got to keep it 100. Was this shit hot or was it trashed you? Some of it

was trashed. See, I respect him. I respect because he's not a, he wasn't a rapper that was lying to himself. He left himself in the mirror. He said, I shoot fucking 40 footers way better than I've dropped these fucking bars. So let me go back to shooting 40

footers. I'll never put this shit out. This shit It's for me and my homies to ride around too And we just laugh and bust the fuck out You, we was tripping that night I had a little bit of little That shot of henny fucked me up I was tripping No, no, I think I'm a little better than that though

Oh you better than that? I'm a little better than me saying that to myself Like no I wasn't like no dog Just stick to your day job No So I felt like I could get better from like You know what I was doing Yeah

I can learn music more so I can make better music You know what I feel So did you ever feel like you recorded The track that was hot Yeah Oh okay cool Some shit that I like, some shit that I thought. I love it.

That was hot. Can I hear it with something behind the clothes? At a certain point, I'll see you some shit. We got to get a little cooling, you know what I mean? It's the first day. He said, he said, he said, he said, I don't know you that good. He said, I don't know you that good. I can't get a foot without this.

You got to get two years. You got to get belted me. Hey, that was a good, that was a good way to son me, wasn't it? Yeah. He said, yeah, I send my shit around. some people but nigga I don't know you so like

the MVP speech I know you was asked you talked about this a lot right but I do want to touch you on like that was one of the most heartfelt sincere you know speeches that I ever heard in my life

you know what I'm saying and sitting there looking at you get a speech you can tell that you went through some shit growing up you feel what I'm saying that you've been through a different type of struggle and you can just see it in your face and the sincerity of how much work had to get put in to get to this point you feel what I'm saying yeah like when you won that award what was going through your mind like yeah I was just replaying all the moments though like I committed to that shit at like eight you know like I told everybody that my parents and

everybody that was taking care of me that I wanted to play basketball every day so they really pushed me to do that shit like they really they really forced me to like they told me what hard work was and what I needed to do in order for me to be a good basketball player like I had a structure at an early age and like I knew it it meant to like actually put in some work you know what I'm saying so and at 9 10 11 I started gaining concerts you know what I'm saying so I'm like working out by myself I'm like thinking to myself like what the fuck am I doing like what I'm why am I doing this shit? You know what I'm saying?

But I'm like, shit, I like to play, and I want to make it somewhere. I just start visualizing shit at an early age. Right. And shit started to come together for me. And by the time I was like 12, 13, 14, I'm just like, all right, shit, this is what I'm going to do for show. Right. When did you, that was around the age when you really start knowing, I'm nice. Yeah, I knew when I first stepped on the court and my first game playing, it was like so easy to me.

I was like, oh shit, yeah, I like doing this. I want to do it every day. And then I started working out and getting better. And then I started like seeing my friends go do other shit. And I was the only one working out. And I was just like, it was cool feeling different and doing other different shit. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, I just liked this space, you know what I mean?

And I built on that. And I seen y'all was talking to Dam. And he was saying he played the same way. He played when he was a kid. Yeah, play that way now. That's exactly how I was playing. The way I play now is exactly how I played when I was. was eight, nine years old.

I just expanded and got sharper at some of the shit. But I just, you know, I just liked doing this shit. And it just built, that love built over time. DC, growing up in D.C., right? A lot of your game come from that. Yeah, for sure. It just, because it just seems like, you know, when I be seeing certain players that come from a certain environment,

it'd be like it'd be more than the game in them. It'd be like they carry them. It's like you carrying this struggle and it's like, you know, playing in that playground. That shit. Like going there every day. It's like, you know how it is

when you young, you're the shorthy. And for somebody to pick you, you know, I got shorthy. Yeah. For somebody to pick you, you know, I got shorthy. And it's something that's something like growing up,

and you're playing with the old heads, and you're just in there, and you're just in there, the fill of it and it'd be like they're carrying something there's certain regions at a country that that bring that out and it's like in my neighborhood if you couldn't hoop or like play football or any sport like you couldn't fit in with nobody so it's just like you had to learn how to hoop we was all met up at the court we all like at recess we all met up at the gym like so everybody hooped so it was the ones that actually took it serious but it was actually some good motherfuckers as natural hoopers that didn't take it serious that you know dudes that they're

They just get up there, drink a 40. And it's still nice. Smoker Jay. You know what I'm saying? Just go in and just snap out. But that's the culture from where I come from. And that breed, nothing but like competitive nature everywhere you go. So I'm going across the street to another neighborhood that hoop.

All them niggas, all them niggas nice. You go over to 20 minutes down the road. Like, damn, that's a nigga. Here's tall as me that can shoot just like me. And they got another point guard better than my point guard. I ain't going to say it, but he's better than it. It's like, you see that all around your town. your city it's just like i grew up at pg county where like right outside of dc the game of

basketball when james naysmith created the shit man who was right next to him he bought it back to i town first you know what i'm saying so basketball was just in our dna right so everybody can who you know what i mean so when you got you in that competitive nature every single day on top of my mom's was like nigger you better you're working out oh you got to do extra today so you have a bad game mom on your top what Uh, what, what, what, wait, hold on. He just said that what, like, like, I called him a, Oh, you visualize.

You bitch-ass niggas, some of that, he said, what? It's, like, when people ask me, you know, for real. Like, your mom must have whipped your ass. You ain't get 30. Oh, you had 25. What? Come on. She held it to a standard, yo.

Huh? Exactly how she was. Exactly. Exactly how she was. Wait, wait. Wait, me the motherfucker stashie. I had the motherfucker working day. I couldn't make it to the game.

This nigga had 20. Yeah, 25. And four rebounds. Nigger, you're 7 foot 11, you had four motherfucking rebounds. Listen. You know how the black mom is. Exactly. She'd allowed us in the gym.

Take his ass out. He ain't playing it? Get his ass out the game? I'm talking about nobody else in the gym. She ain't the loudest one in there. So it's like, I'm stepping into the game knowing I got to play for her. I'm like, I'm playing for myself, but I also got somebody on my back that's like, you better be great today.

Absolutely. Because the way he just said that, what, was like I disrespected him. So your mom was, what? What? You know, she was on my ass. Hold on, Cap, I ain't disrespect. Up until I got to the lead. After that, she was just like, you cool now.

Yeah, what's the check's game? She said, Nicky, you could. Ain't no more having talks after the game. Like, what happened? Like, no. She's just like, got it. You got it now. She like, you had 23 tonight, but your checks still.

You be all right. Next game, you got it. There is 8 to 2. You got him next game. Absolutely. Good to get. So, what was that moment? when you knew like

shit I'm here this the league was it draft day was it when you first walked on the court with Colby or LeBron or when was it when you was like I'm here now when I moved into my first house you know what I'm saying like when we bought the crib in Seattle

and we actually moved out there I never lived on the other side of the country so I'm like oh shit I'm in the league for show now it's on right so since that day I woke up in my crib I'm like oh yeah this a whole different life I'm locked in I got a hoop

every day that's my job so it wasn't like no I wasn't surprised when I seen mellow and all I knew what I was going up again I knew what I was doing right it was just like my lifestyle just changed like how I'm gonna deal with this shit I went from like

I wouldn't say we was super duper struggling but it was just like I'd rather be somewhere else you know what I'm saying and then we get to that level some shit that we've been thinking of and it's just like Yeah. That's when I knew shit clicked for me. All right. See, that was a setup question for me.

That's how you know where motherfuckers come from the struggle. Yeah. Because motherfuckers from the suburbs would have been like, when I first walked on the court and I'd seen Kobe, I was like, oh, my God, it's Kobe. Shit's real. For me, I would have knew the NBA was real when that first motherfucker check hit that baby. I'm telling you.

And I've seen it. I'm like, oh, it's real. Thank you, God. Shit shit It's going down Baja pack it Matter of fact No pack shit

Leave everything Right Like for real Like when you come from that struggle You know it's real When that check hit that goddamn bank account And you like I felt you

I moved into that new I fucked basketball That's my day I already knew Them niggas were getting 27 a night As a rookie I had to worry about that

What I'm saying is When we moved into that big ass house that was 4,000 7000 8000 square feet and I just came from a drink that was $1,600. That's why I knew shit was friends. Absolutely. It's a difference in that shit, man.

ship station is the place to go for ship station funnel all in one little i'm talking about it brings everything together ship station cold game now one thing about you is your brand game is something else like your brand game is just like me and gill always talking about branding because it brings so much so much in we talked to shack about it we talked to a lot of people about just the brand deals you got like you got over 20 30 brand deals like in your time yeah like overtime yeah how do you approach partnering up with like you you know how do you approach the partnering up with them early on it was the artist mentality let me get the check you know what I'm saying how much money I can yet um but then you know you start to look at yourself as a true artist and you see your craft

as a real art and you want to just align yourself with people that just like the shit that you like you know what i'm saying so i like technology so i wanted to invest in technology you know what i'm saying i like you know i wanted to create something with 2k so it's like shit you know let me do a deal with 2k you know all the stuff that i like to do you just you know just try to build on that but Knowing my brand comes from what I do on the court, how I play, how I conduct myself as a team mate. You know what I'm saying? I know that stuff resonates with people way more than me selling them a product. So I just try to just stay authentic to myself on the court as much as I can.

And people just been following my career over time. It's just built up over here. You know what I mean? I just been trying to do shit the right way. People like how I play, you know? And I've been in their minds for the last 12, 13 years. so shit, you know. It just add up at this point.

The greatest basketball sneaker of all time outside of yours. Join one. Damn, the one? Gotta be. Gotta be. I said the one. You know, people like different, but the one is like, the one is just destroyed them to come back. The one is, it will never go anywhere.

It's bigger than air. You remember that. You remember that every two. It's bigger than Air Force One. It's bigger than Air Force One. was one right now. What was the top reason why you left OKC to go to Golden State? And then what was the top reason why you left Golden State to go to Brooklyn? I felt like in OKC, I maxed out who I wanted to be as a player. I felt like I've done everything I wanted to do there as a player. On top of that,

I had a, my contract was up. So I just wanted a new experience. Then I seen Golden State as a team that played the way that I like to play fast pace everybody can shoot and make plays just quick reaction time as an offense and defense so I wanted to play with that in that style it was just it was all about like man what experience do I want as a basketball player and I felt like they presented the best experience for me on and off the floor did the media play any pressure to you you know because the media oh you got it now in this now in this era and even the error before that you know everything is based off of rings you know what I'm saying

did the pressure of the media because before people would stay with their teams you know what I'm saying but now it's like you know in the new age it's like y'all homies you feel what I'm saying back in the gee you know

Doc wasn't homies with Larry Bird Magic and Lake Bird wasn't cool you feel what I'm saying but now y'all be homies because you might have played with him at AAU. You might have played with him in this tournament over here so did the pressure from the media of you got

to have rings, you got to have rings to validate your career. Did they play any part of you going to Golden State? Not at all because at 23 I want to say fifth year in the lead we went to the finals. Right. Right. And

after that we didn't go back again. I didn't go back some stuff happened we traded james a couple guys got injured like we ran into some champions we lost to some champions in the conference finals and we didn't go back but that experience that first experience of me going there it was just like nah i need to experience that again and i need i want to be on that stage again and and that run that we went from in 2012 from that first round to the finals that was the most fun i had playing basketball and i was like i need this experience again i don't give it i don't care who was with you

I want some dudes that want to one or two I just need to experience that again because I felt I felt more alive I felt like this is what I should be doing on earth at this point playing the game you know what I'm saying

so when I experienced that run I'm like I'm craving for that again if you ain't with me then that's on you but I want this experience again so I didn't have no relationship with nobody on the Warriors we weren't like friends

like people like you hooked up with your friends like I didn't I never hung out with Draymond like that wasn't my boy Right Steph, we never hung out Or Clay I met them Once I got there

Right But it wasn't like Let me call my boys up And let me go hang out with my boys No I've seen That's a great team That That wants to win

A fun environment Great City Oakland is like D.C. Yeah It felt like I was riding Through South East When I was in Oakland Absolutely

Absolutely The fan base The organization Never been a winning organization when I was in the league nobody liked Golden State so it felt like a still like an underdog to me because I'm looking at it as

I'm looking at the totality of your franchise I ain't looking at what happened this last five years like you never been a perennial winter in the you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. In the NBA from the 50s on up

so I'm like damn this is an underdog franchise to me this feel this feel good like shit this feel like where I'm supposed to be it ain't LA it ain't New York it feels like what I'm supposed to be and I think they're going to give me that experience that I want. Right. That run.

Like, shit, we're about to go and try to win 16 games. You know, like, I wanted that feeling again. We did that shit three times. Yeah. I was on that high three times. I'm like, man, shit, I don't want to go nowhere else. Absolutely. I don't want to do nothing else in the NBA besides going to run like that.

We might not win it, but to know that we can go on a run to like, you know what I'm saying, be one of the last teams. That shit is fun. Absolutely. So who was the best teammates you had on Golden State? Like that you connected with? I connected with Clay and Dremont the most. Clay and Dremont?

I wouldn't have thought Dremont the way y'all was or the court. Y'all was going. But you know that's in the heat of the moment. But people, I mean, I'm not as animated as Dremont. So the times I call him a lazy motherfucker, I just ain't see it. Right. Because he's sitting there like, man, you're a lazy, Yeah, like, what the fuck you're doing?

Who the fuck is you talking to? They're like, Draymont lost his body. Yeah, exactly. Hold on, Katie, like this, man, if you don't sit your stupid, that's down. So, but we had that type of, and there's times with Draymond are like, I'm not into the game one night. We're on the road, fucking seven, five games and seven nights. Draymond see it. He'll scream on me or some shit.

They go, what? I ain't doing what? I had like eight in a row. Then he'll be over there snickering and laughing and shit. You know what I'm saying? I'm just like, I can appreciate that. You know what I'm saying? But in the moment, I was like, nigga, who the fuck?

Hey, Draibai, Drayba, I sent him up. Fuck, you left your game at the Ritz, call him, nigger. Somebody go get Katie fucking game out of the Ritz. Who the fuck is you talking to? Going to school 14th Street, sitting over there, got his ass. He's sitting over there laughing. My first shit with the Warriors, he pulled that shit. I was like, oh, this would, okay.

This is what he into. I was like, I needed that. And when I was in OKC, I never had nobody. that was like, that was watching me that much to say, like, oh, this nigga, Katie ain't even. Is it okay? See, they always looked at me like, oh, Katie, gonna be straight. Right.

But I wanted somebody that was on the bench looking at me, just like, what this nigga doing? When you play five games and seven nights, it's just a reality that it's hard to be engaged every night. It is, especially when you know you're going to be a thing, you're going to win that, you might win that thing. So when you're playing a team that they don't care about this game either, and it's fucking fifth game

and seven night that's when you really got to be a pro and that's when I learned those games are my favorite games back to back to back the end of the second night of a back to back I was like this one

I need to be the best you know what I'm saying because it's just like that's the hardest game to play absolutely and what was the main reason you went to Brooklyn because I wanted the same way

same reason I wanted a new experience I wanted to live on the East Coast too I wanted to be with a different organization I wanted to try the same feel that I had in each of these organizations. I wanted to take that learn and build somewhere else.

I mean, at that point in my career, I was just like, shit, why not? And what teammates you rock out? Like, you know, you connect with the best song in Brooklyn. Everybody. Everybody, huh? We all got the same relationship, and it's cool. You know what I'm saying? Everybody, you know, are individuals, and we talked separately,

but we all, it felt like we just rock out together. did it hurt when y'all had they let go caris levert yeah it hurt when we let go all the young dudes caris is a fucking baller though yeah curse is baller he's a fucking baller man I think I think it worked out for both parties because he's in the place too where he could do the same shit yeah

and he could really you know be more into the lead one lead to role you know when he got traded too they they caught he had a mask on his kidney so when he got traded they did the physical they found that too So it was kind of a blessing in disguise. Yeah, it was a blessing in disguise, man.

Coming out of D.C., man. PG County. Who were some of them hood legends that you go out there 14, 15, 16, and they're ice you? Come on, we all got ice before. Come on. Who some of them hood legends? They might not be hood. They might have played in the league.

They might have, you know, one D, one college played overseas. Yeah, so I used to go play at this little spy called Barry Farms. It was an outdoor league. And it was his defender. He was from around the way. He was, I mean, he looked like, you know, he's drinking right before the game, man, right afterwards. Oh, man.

But he, energetic, play hard as defense, called him Mick Hipe. But he was just to, that's who they stick, every, they stick him on every score in the league. Mick Hike, Mick Hike. So he go out there, he drink a. 40 Yes ICS Like Gil

Yes High top Air Force 1 is on High top Air Force 1 is on High top What color Black joins Oh he was a beast

He was He was allegedly He was He was He had the black He was Listen he The Jones

I just had What does You know I have Rashid What does You know Yeah Yeah

Yeah Let me Tell us about Big hype So he was I mean I'm 15 16

I'm like 69 Skinny as shit I'm coming Down shooting From deep Mick Get Katie Get KD

You know, they're betting on the game You know Yeah, they're going to be $4,000 You know It's like It's liable to be some shots Going to fuck off

Yeah We're in the finals It's like Three game series We played three game series Yeah And they're like Yo, Mike Haid

You got KD Was he a grown man Or was he a kid too? He probably was like 15 years older than me At that point Damn Mick Heid was a no joke

Go ahead He's a legend Go ahead I'm gonna hear this He's a playground legend That boy's a legend. He's a hood, legend. He's a hood legend.

In an ice cold 40 and get a lock shit down. Like Dennis Robb. Ain't got a cooler them motherfuckers in the back in the back of his trunk. He's serious. Legend. So what happened? He just, he just, he just like, flat out harassed me the whole game. Like, elbow in the chest, walking me up the court.

And it wasn't no like, touch fouls or nothing back then but he he he kind of instilled like damn if I can get this little thing up off me then I'd be all right because they ain't going to file this much you know what I'm trying to go right you know what I'm saying

Mike helped you definitely yeah and playing outdoors and that environment helped me right because you had to be because if you was if you had one thing about going out 16 for Susquehanna going to the rucker going to whatever they called it out in PG County in DC

going to any of these park playgrounds with a thousand motherfuckers out here if you got any bitch in you you done you could just see it oh he's not cut for this shit because once a person come down and wop-wob-wop-wop-wop-wop and lay you up or step back or do a floater

and that crowd go crazy is only one thing for you to do come on let me see that oh wab-bop-bop-wop-wop-wop-wop-wop and you got to get yours back You got to get busy. You got to get back. And if you don't want yours back, then... You don't belong out there.

You don't belong out there. One thing about, first of all, shout out to Nick Hype. Who was the Mick Hype that one player in the NBA through your whole journey that wasn't no debt? That was Tony Allen. Damn. That's a good... The same exact person, but in an NBA form.

So Tony Allen was Mick Height without the 40s. He probably was one of four. He might have a lot of room Anybody play like that Like they play like that Like they take a 40s And he got to Yeah

And he just was a problem Huh He made He had me He had me He had me thinking about my offense differently You know what I'm saying

Like We start My game was always Free flowing So I'm just going I'm out there Just playing The ball come to me

I'm shoot it I get the lane I'm going to go You know what I'm saying He was cutting shit off Denying the ball from me getting into my pocket so I'm just like I need to just find different setups so I started working on preparation before I catch the ball just a little small parts of the game and shit he was helping

me I felt like he was teaching me that little shit I was playing against him because he was so fucking good I never seen somebody as such a he was a master at playing defense like you don't understand how great tony island was at playing defense okay so draymond green just said he was the best defense of all time exactly you played against him in practice a thousand times was Draymond Green better than Tony Allen? See, it's different. It's different. No, no, no, no.

It's different. Come on, Keff. It's different. Come on, Keff. Because great Draymond Green was, Draymond Green not asked the guard, the point guards, two guards, and three men, all game.

Tony Island, like a shutdown corner. You're like, all right, you're just going to follow him all game. Jemont not doing that. Draymond more like a safety. He's going to just cover up everything. That's different. You know that's different.

It is different, but. But it's all like, who you prefer? Who would you prefer? I won Draymond Green because he's bigger But Tony Island It's not an easy decision Tony Island you can put him on And Draymond on offense

It's better than Tony Island on offense So it's like You're about offense But I'm talking about if I went on my team though You know what I'm saying But Tony Island is a flat out He's just a He was a defensive

He a locked down defender Absolutely who talked the most trash in the league I don't talk to most shit Who talked to most shit? Like, I'm talking about Or it could have been Since you've been in the league They might not be in the league no more

KG talked the most shit by far By far By far And all his little homies did too Perg Rondo Paul Pierce Like

Well KG What are he going to say to you What crazy shit What do he say to somebody Like pussy ass nigga Stop talking to me Nick you can't talk to me Like shit like that

And you ain't And you ain't even say none Me No I'm saying it I'm talking about Like KD say that shit Yeah, they say that shit Yeah, they ain't say nothing

Like, y'all niggas some Yeah, come up Y'all niggins, like they'll get a foul Somebody, Paul Pierce will get to the line Y'all niggins, some studio gangsters bitch-ass, nigga Like he'll be on type That type of shit

You know what I'm saying? And it's just like And he just, he's with it And I'm just, and all these teammates with it too And it's not like on no like We're trying to fight If you really

In your feelings You're gonna want to fight these niggas And then he got to y'alli it gets you out your game but if you're like nigga we because they respect hoopers right that's one thing when we played against them when we was young they would start that shit my first year second

third year they're like all right we're going to hoop today they chose who they chose who they talked that shit to but if you hoot with them physical with them and you play in the game with them you ain't back down they're just going to hoop but KG set the tone. I heard KG say some crazy shit to LeBron too

yeah I didn't see that just reading his lips on TV yeah Bid your ass, niggas, niggas. You're like, you don't get no text for that. The whole arena heard that shit.

I'm telling you. Now, if I'm a young player, I look at you, going down in the books, and I just came in the league, and I just came in the league, and I'm watching this interview. What game can you give a young player

about all the temptations that come when you first come in the lead and you get that checks, the friends, the family, money the women what type of game would you sit there and give somebody that's your young team your young teammate or just a young cat now that got a league they got everything coming out on his way to the league on his way to the league and he he's getting drafted this or or on this way to any type of thing that's successful yeah it can get you caught up and you know what I'm saying it ain't

necessarily got to be the NBA it could be it could be rapper and it could be the NFL it could Like when that money first hit your account and life change. Like, what type of information? Because could you get them to, you know, put some protection on himself? See, I don't really be giving advice like that because I don't really know how these people come up. I don't know their situation. I don't know what they're aunts and uncles need. I don't know what they got.

What's the depths of their relationships with their people? I just try to tell dudes to focus on the main thing. We're hooping. All that shit. Off the court, what you got in your household, you're going to evict you out. Your family going to figure that out. Y'all going to have to figure that out. But if you focus on the main thing, you focus on you,

you focus on being the best you can when you come in here every day, you're going to start to figure that stuff out on your own. You know what I'm saying? So it's, like, hard for me to get real advice like that. When I don't know the depths of what's going on, you know what I'm saying? And so I try to tell dudes, man, if you could just, your mind have peace when you come into this gym, peace that, like, yo, I'm playing a sport that I loved as a kid that I enjoy.

If you keep it at that when you come into this gym, like the stuff going to start to get more clear off the court as well. You know what I'm saying? Because you have peace when you come in here. You know what I mean?

That's the true key to all of this shit. Peace of mind. You meditate? Yeah. I mean, I'm not sitting down in the room with the lights turned off,

but you know what I'm saying? Indian style like Uncle Russ. Yeah, but I'm thinking about it. I mean, I feel like I'm he's just going to. He's just going to.

Russ. But like being in a meditated, the state is just like your mind is clear and I feel like my mind is clear especially when I'm out on the floor when I'm just like in my element whenever I'm in my element when I'm comfortable I feel like my mind is clear so shit I feel like I'm in that state 12 players in the history of the NBA you got to pick a team you only picking 12 players who who's on your team 12 in the history of NBA with 12 players that's easy my point guard I'm gonna be LeBron is my point

One of the scariest times in my life when I was in jail. See, I never claim to be. You know a lot of times y'all hear about

jail. And this particular part that I'm going to tell you about prison is extremely real. Because you know, a lot of times y'all see this, this make-believe life of prison on the tell-out vision, the TV, whatever, and y'all think, I'm in the shower, right? This one I first, I'm talking about this, like, when I first come through.

I'm up to Dallas. Yeah, I'm just turned 18 and I hit the big general population. I'm going to be, I'm in the big boy. What is what was that? Dallas. Dallas. Dallas Penitentiary in Pennsylvania. It was one of the biggest. No, whatever. So, this jail was known for, like, the most homosexuals.

I'm going to be straight up. So I'm talking about, like, so I come into the shower room, right? First of all, it's already crazy because it's like, you know, I don't know if the NBA locker room. Everybody's, most people just come down there, rip their towel off the ass naked. But this day it was a little different. This day was a little different, man, on some real shit. So I'm in a shower and I'm like on a side. And like, you're rotating out the shower.

You'd be standing like in the middle. He might be under the water I might be laring up He'd get out I'd go under So we're going back and forth Boy dropped some soap Wham

You hear dropping Like when the soap drop Everything is different And it's slid And it was this old head Right That was like in the end He said oh

You know what I mean Like oh man And he And he hit the mystical joint And I was like Oh shit I got to get out He said Take ass

Show me what you're working with And he's sobering up I'm like Who the fuck is he talking about Because I had my soap like this I hold my soap clenched I'm talking about It was like I was like

You know It was like my shit was clenched Like it was welded My soap was welded to my hand With my rack Because I already knew the story So when he listened All you heard the bar

The bar dropped And it just slid The only thing you heard So listen So listen So listen On everything So listen

On everything Right when the old hair said that I was so scared and I was just like God please could you get me out of here I listen I'll be a quiet I'll be different just give me another chance

I'm saying it to myself because I got my shit clean but the way he was so comfortable and saying it then the other old hair is they laughing and shit like yeah I'm like I don't even want to see who dropped that soap I just know I ain't drop mine I know listen that's where like washing was done I was sutted up

I walked over to go get my towel I still got some suds on me young you still got some I'm like, no, I'm cool old. Fuck that. I'm getting them out of here. Because I didn't know. It was like, this shit was a, it was a scary moment for me.

I'm just being real. Because everybody wanted to be acting like, you know. So this was every day for 20 years. No, he stopped watching that. No, no, I ain't goes to stop watching. He'll watch what's, he'll watch one Sunday while everybody watching the game. He came a time. Whole prison watching football here there.

Shake your ass. No, I'm straight up. Watch yourself. My step pop was in the joint with me, so it was some old geez. So I already knew when time with time Who I'm walking down the shower Like who I'm going to be in the shower Because I know they're old heads

And my step pop Homies or whatever Because I was like And then it became After a while You know it's crazy You start normalizing all the shit That goes on in prisons

Because in order to get through prison You got to normalize crazy shit Because if you don't normalize it And you don't go insane So you can stay sane When you're seeing some crazy You happen It'll fuck you up

But once you normalize it Oh yeah this the norm So when you was in there Shaked Nick Robben So you was in there tell you. No, no, no, no. You know what I hear too a lot, though?

Niggas go to jail. It feels like what's normal. Like, every time somebody going there, they, like, see their people. Is that always true? No, no, listen. You always see something like. Everybody's, like, yo, my cousin then was in there, my home is that that, everybody, is it like that for ever? I don't care where you go at.

If you go to prison, you're going to see a family member or home. Like, you're seeing a family member in there. Your uncle, you forgot about. Somebody you went to school with. You know, the old head that you should talk to your aunt. you're going to see somebody, nephew, that's my name. It's like, it's like a, it's sad. And for the black community, it's like a family reunion.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, because we're so pleased to go to prison. It's so bad. And then on the other side, what's so crazy, though, this is just so crazy, Kev. On the other side, all the guards is family. So everybody that's overseeing us or watching us or, you know, the correctional over us, while we're going to prison,

they're working in the prison and building the whole street. structure up. Like, they're the one that's, like, for instance, like I told, I remember what me and my, I was talking to the homies one time, and the guard really said it to me, but I was like, damn, dog, we were sitting in the yard, I was like, you know what I mean, cribs we didn't bought? You know what I mean, you know, college tuition we paid for? And they was, I said, no, I'm saying, like, you understand it.

The inner cities is where the crimes take place at the hood, but the prisons is in the middle of America, whereas though we get these people job security so they can send their kids to college, so they can buy a big home. And we ain't never buy our moms and shit, no homes. But we bought them, you know what I mean? You got to think about it. You do 20 years in jail. You know, me and a homie sitting on the bench,

just kicking it's like, you look at the yard. It's like a thousand years of prison time in the yard, thousands. So it's like, you know how much security we put on what we do? We put security on it so that their babies is going to be watching our babies one day because there's a cycle that's never stopped because we ain't got no ending game. But I'm going to just say this, man. If you ever go to prison, if you ever go to prison, and depends on what state you ain't

Don't drop their soo Because some states You know Some states They got the solo The solo the solo The solo whistle names But if you ever drop the soap

Just know it's danger If you hear that old head say Yeah he keeps sharing me with that one I'm just saying It's real I'm just saying Listen it's real real Now we're going to get to another side of things

Kevin Talk serious Who put you in the business in because you got you you invest in like over 20 companies a bunch of companies on business side in you're one of the owners of the philadelphia union one of our teams our soccer team in philly so like who put you down who i ain't know that yeah he he making the moves he down he down to philly he down to chester shout out the chester p a shout out of the floridian man too they went to a game yes we did me they gave us jerseys out we got you guys we got chine now

my wife know that straight yeah man we're going to the game too they kicked us up with the jerse anytime So where did that come from Are you coming in the game Because you, I'm telling me, You invest in like 20 different companies You're on your grind on a whole different level Who put that in you? Like who introduced you to that?

I mean, it's just, it's just a natural evolution I mean, you got to break it down And realize like You're on a huge platform Of the NBA You know, so many people Want to be involved in the NBA in some way They come to a game

They kids and fans of you or you know they buy go to all-star weekend somewhere they want to be involved with the NBA but at the end of the day it's just like that business that that community is about networking it's all about who you know yeah are you a good person are you easy to work with are you smart enough to know what's going on it's like it's pretty simple when you think about it so when I got to Golden State it was just you know at our games around the you know in the arena no so many people that just want to oh yeah golden state Tech City Yeah All the tech company Ain't by there They just want to Yeah they just want to break bread

I mean they're not not necessarily Like yo let's do a deal Right now It's just like yo What you're into Let's just go have dinner Let's go hang out And what comes from that

Is what comes from that I mean that's just all on Who you are as an individual You know what I'm saying So it's really about networking And you know That's the key to life Yeah

Building your resume up on top of that So we invest in one or two companies That do well People are like These kids know what they're doing A little bit We're fresh into it but like we're building something that's pretty solid

but it's all started from just being solid as people and that's what it's about man just you know investing and turning it up and taking it to another level before we get out of here though we got to talk about uh you know more than likely you're going to meet the sixers in the conference finals right

We're going to see. When you be back? Soon, yeah, soon. Okay. I'm going to say this. I ask you a question. Nike, right?

Great partner with you. Snap. There's someone about Nike that make you stay there, right? Nike, is it true that Adida came at you hard? They wanted you? Yeah, for sure. They came at you with the Brinks truck, the bank, the ship. Why did you, they came at you with more money.

The mother load. Like, why did you stay with Nike or with Dita? I mean, I seen with Jordan build at Nike. You know, I was like, shit, if I can, they're giving me my own shoe. And if I ball out, I can just, I'm never going to be big as Jordan. I mean, Jordan brand is just huge. And then when the time it dropped, it's just nothing could compare. But if I can get something that's mine, then shit, I would rather do it with Nike.

You know what I was crazy? Because the last time, I know, I don't know if you've seen that one time with me. Gil, you shot the young boys lights up when I had, I had a pair of sneaks on at that time. I was saying them joints. I remember them joints. One of the most classic moments. I really... That was the only time, honestly, you really made some shots, so there must have been the fucking... You hit the

nice law off the pick, Jay. Yeah, yeah, like, I always, like, we always beat young balls. We don't even play you if you're over 30. That's why I keep dudes keep doing me that we know, come on. We don't, we only play young balls, man. Right. Like, we don't play, so... We don't play the old ears on, man. And it was like, man, I said, man, it was

something different that happened that day. You know what I mean? I just, I was on fire. You was, you was on fire. I was on fire. It was the shoes, nigga. It was the shoes. Are you the real KD or cash doll? She got it, she got him.

All right. Because I never heard. No one. No problem. Listen, it wasn't some funny cash down. That's my motherfucker. My wife loved cashed out, right? What's so homie is, what's so funny is, I could, everybody knew you was playing.

Come on, Cash doll, FaceTime. You like, I'm the real KD, nigga. That's how we really start kidding it because she was just. text me out of nowhere and be like, yo, let me get that name. Some joking shit. So when I said that, we ain't her got that inside joke.

It was funny. Now, when you, when you go into design your shoes, how did you, what inspired you? Well, first off, I let the designers do their job, created.

You never even go to school for that. They've been locked in for that the last 10 years. So I let them do their job and they kind of give me a template. And I'm like, yo, I want a low top this year. I want a strap.

So give me a bunch of options that low tops. straps you know what i'm saying it's like and i just choose like i like this silhouette then i just make alterations like that i might want to uh show like a little symbol on this side just because you know i might want to you know just throw that in there somebody who's actually paying attention you know a little stuff like that the color ways that i want the stories i want to tell i'm involved like that now believe that that's what's up well man we appreciate you for tavern in with us brother man and i wish you the best of luck this season the best of health man and the best

and everything you're doing, just being a great individual out here, man, and, you know, doing great shit, man. And you donate money. You get that money up to the people. Absolutely. I need it to emotion. I appreciate y'all, man. I love what you're doing.

I'm glad I was on this joint, man. It's legendary, for sure. That's what it's about. And I'm going to say this, though. This one I'm going to say, KD, when we first started, I'm talking about we first started. He said, listen, I'm coming on it. Yes, he did.

This is like, we probably was like 10 shows in in, in 2019, he was like, I'm coming through there. Yes, he did. It just was always the time. He'd be time, he got to train, you know, and be, it's so much hit. He said that. But you're definitely a man of your word, brother. He said that, I'm telling him. And he reached out there, so he made it happen, man. So it's just

always love for us, if you ever need somebody for pickup. Of course. If you ever need somebody, like for pickup ball, you're playing. Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa. I'm saying your game, no, I'm just saying, I'm saying. Gil got the left pull up. He, Chansy, you know, you wouldn't play like Chansy, pull up three. No, but I'm saying, like, I'm just saying, he's garbage.

I'm just saying, you wouldn't pick me, you won't pick me on pick up game. You're a good glue guy. I pick you like, take offensive fouls and shit. You're offensive foul dummy. Oh, yeah, that's it. You play harder. You rush for a motherfucker to run into you. Yeah, you'll take a charge.

Yeah, you get one of them. Oh, he'd pick me, that's all that matters. Like, long as he picked me, I got my fits together. Yeah, and your fists would be solid. Like, it's stand out. Right. I mean, I'm a brother to see everybody. See, everybody that really played ball always know that the nigger that come to the court

and the hood with the best fit on was always the worst player. Trash. Nigger was always trash. You spent too much on the fit, bro. You trash. But the whole Averson fit on, you trash. Right, like nobody. With the arms sleeve on and you some garbage.

You're fucking trash. So that was you. And, man, appreciate you for tapping in, man. Me and I was with a game. It's just like that. Right.
