Introduce yourself to the people and tell him what you do. Good, man.

Julian Newman, man, you know, from Orlando, Florida. You know, I play basketball. You know, a young kid on the high school basketball team. Now, you know, still on my journey, you know, and doing everything in between for real. Yes, sir. That's a fact. That's a fact, bro. So, you know, being somebody who is a spectator, I'm 27. Yeah. I've been knowing about you for a long, long, long time. You know what I'm saying?

Once I've seen, I think I've seen you get into it or something. I'm like, I gotta get him up here, bro. Because I was like, where he go? I'm like, I gotta get him up here. I think that'll be, you feel, me, legendary, man. But I like to start from the beginning, you feel I mean, and we work to right now. So, man, tell me about your early life, how you was brought up, siblings, parents situation. Tell the people about yourself. Yeah, man. So, you know, I grew up in Orlando, Florida, you know, always with my pops and mom, always in the gym.

Even though my dad was, you know, he coached basketball. He had his own leagues. And I was always around hoop for real, always. He didn't even ran Midnight basketball, they call it, you know, all the dudes, you know, trying to get people off the street for a getting there come hoop. And, you know, I just grew up around that, always hooping against older people. And my dad, I got a job. The coach had a Christian school.

And, you know, I had 91 at the middle school there. And then they ended up with me on a varsity team because they need the point guard. And, you know, ever since, bro, I've just been on, you know, like a crazy train to just hooping and busting people ass for real. No, facts. So what's some of your earliest, earliest memories, like, when you were like, I really love ball? Like, what's some of your earliest memories when you knew this was what you wanted to do? Yeah, facts. For real, for real, like, I say, really it's all my life.

But when I realized, like, this is what I love is what I want to do. I say, well, like, my ninth-grade year, ninth-tenth-grade year, when I was hooping and, like, really, like, averaging 30 against, like, top people in the nation that play in the league today. And that's what I was thinking, like, man, I'm, you know, standing at this height, everybody telling me I can't do it. Like, I really want this, you feel me? Like, I want it. Like, I can, you know what I'm saying? I can do this better than everybody I'm watching, you feel me? So I say high school is when I was like, damn, like, yeah, I'm really that good in my mind.

So how you felt like your upbringing was with a basketball-orientated podcast? and having two parents in the household, so a lot of people don't know what that is. Yeah, exactly. It was, you know, straight support and anything that I did, you know, they always put basketball in my face, but that's what I wanted, you know what I'm saying?

Right. It was always on trips for basketball, whether it be camps in Virginia or whether it's like, you know, a tournament here or there, like, you know. And then, yeah, it's really just that. My parents are always supporting, no matter what it was, it was always hoop.

And my dad getting shots up with me every day, fire under shots. Still to this day, he kept my rebounds, keeping me ready. He did it ever since I was like three, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? So even my mom does it for my sister and vice versa. He really made you do the 100 free throws, 200 floaters, 200 jump shots today?

Oh, God. How was that, though? At what age is that? Yeah, I mean, shoot, I think 11 years old when he got me on that routine right there. Yeah, yeah. How was that? I ain't going to lie, bro.

I was lazy, bro. I was on the football, pop water for a little bit. I'm like, this too hard. I'm going to travel basketball team. I'm dirt. I don't want to do none of this. How is that as a kid? Like, do you feel like it's work or it's just?

So, sometimes it felt like work from being real. But at the time, no, I wouldn't think. I was thinking like, I was thinking like, you know, I'm a little different to everybody else. So like, literally my friends would be playing like down the street. Like, I don't know what they were doing. Like, it could be, you know, hide and see, man, hunt, all that. But I literally would tell him I can't.

I'm trying to go to NVA. I swear to God, that was my response, bro. And what would people do that? What would people say that you being small? What would your be response every time you hit me with that? So, like, people I knew, you know, they didn't like understand, like, you know, that people could go to the league. That's a fact. We could.

Where are we from? We could. You got split webs. Yeah. You got mussels. It's possible. Exactly. So, you know, everybody knew I was better than them, no, like, you know, around the hood and, like, you know, neighborhood I'm saying.

And around, like, you know, everywhere I play it, I was always, you know, better than the average kid. You feel me? and I was always playing up. So they understood that, like, I had a pops that really was invested in hoop. And their response was like, come on, man, just come play real quick. Like, you know, like, what you're going to play?

That's for 10 hours a day. So people were still, was people in your neighborhood ever trying to play pickup ball with you or they was like, not this nigga too good. Yeah, no, we would definitely play daily, but it's like, we can't play for six, seven,

eight hours, bro. You got a couple games. I'm trying to go play Manhunter or play the game, Xbox. And that's one thing. Like, they were going to the crib and play Xbox and stuff, but I only went a few times.

bro, that's the crazy thing. Think about it. I was working on handles from light pole to light pole, you feel me? Yeah, but that's all I can remember. And that's something they put in me. Like, they were hard workers too with my parents. So I say, like, it wasn't never no force, bro. Him just being there and, like, understood in the task that I had to do,

like what I wanted to do to, like, he'd let me know what I need to do to get there. Right, right. And saying, I believed him at a young age, you feel me? And I still do today. You feel? Yeah, so everybody has their own journey and path. Man, so speaking of a young age, bro, how did you end up on varsity at fifth grade? That's facts?

Yeah, it is. It really is facts. How you do that, bro? Bar City, fifth grade, and where? What school? It was called Donnie Christian in Orlando, Florida. I don't want to give him too much, you know what I'm saying? But it's in Orlando, Florida.

It started my dad. We ran out at the gym for his leagues and stuff. It was a big league in Central Florida. It was called Central Florida Hoops at the time. And we ran out that gym, and they ended up giving him the coaching job there. And I went to the school as well, but I wasn't going to play on varsy at the time. I was 11. You know what I mean?

I was, even though I was in midnight basketball, busting the older niggas ass all the time. But so they put me on the middle school team. I legit had 91 points. Like I could have had a hundred, but I was passing the ball. It was open and shit. And they was like, man, we got to put them on varsity just to put them. You see me?

Like, we need a point guard too. Our team was pretty good. We had a couple of dudes that can go, for real, for real. And then first game started. I ain't played the first couple games. And then we ended up, like, needing, like, in practice, I was busting their ass, hitting shots, busing our guard's ass.

It was like, I needed to play. And then I ended up, well, averaging him, like, what, 15 and like 13 assists at 11 years old when we play like some real high schools around the area and all types of shit

like you know what I'm saying Did you ever get any bad reactions from your teammates like man this kid on the team like what's up with that? No, not like that Never. Because it was balling

Yeah it was balling I would think like maybe like off the court shit it would be like you know what I'm saying like oh you can't take a joke or something but it would be me joking on them and they couldn't take you know

it'd be shit like that of course would be low like you know that definitely got me stronger and stuff you'm saying And being on a high school team such a young age, definitely you mentally grew me up quick, for sure.

I feel that, I feel that. Do you ever feel like, because, you know, whenever you watch YouTube videos, they'll always be like, he didn't get to be a kid. Do you agree with that or do you disagree? I don't agree with that.

Yeah, I agree. I mean, I don't agree with that statement. I was being a kid, for sure, for sure, because, like, that's what I wanted to do. Right, right, right, right. Even kids run in the neighborhood, bro, they hooped. They were pretty good,

but my pops and my mother, like, Like they, they, they, no one's like them. I always tell people this. Like, they're so supportive. It's ridiculous. So, like, if they had parents like I had, they would, you know, they'd been serious about it too, you feel me? They were like, and that's just what I want to do as a kid.

I wanted to who. Bro, we're going on vacation. Literally, like, we used to go to Fort Lauddale a lot. I used to bring my ankle weights, my basketball, my vest, bro. We're on the beach and stuff. They're on the beach. I'm in the weight room, like, driveling. The people from the security hotel coming to tell me, stop dribbling.

And people trying to sleep. Like, I always been, like, self-motivated for sure. Like, it was never no forced thing. And I definitely lived a kid life. I play video games. And I did play Manhattan a few times and shit like that. But it wasn't all that fun to me. What was fun is, like, I've seen the future, you feel me?

Like, stay consistent at something. I noticed that at a young age. Most people don't stay consistent. So as young age, like, my dad taught me consistency. You feel me? So it got me far, for sure. I agree. I feel that.

I feel that. So are you go varsity fifth grade? Was that around the time that you first start going viral? Yeah, yeah. How was that? How do you feel like that impact of your daily life? I'm like, what changed? Oh, man.

I was like never home at 11 years old. We was on every talk show, bro. Like, Steve Harvey, it was CBS, Diane Sawyer. I can't even name them all now. But like, it's so much more. My dad was, you should have said this, but there's so many more news stations and stuff like that. I can't even name them, bro.

All the biggest ones, as you can name, we've been on at 11. We did it at like one, two years. Ellen DeGeneres was crazy. I remember seeing how. Yeah, yeah, bro. So really it's just, uh, yeah, bro, it was nuts. It changed as in like, we was always on flights, always going somewhere to be on a talk show.

And like, we even had a, uh, a new station's battle over us, bro. One new station flew us in and we did multiple interviews. That new station was threatened to cancel our ticket saying, like, you don't come to New York and do multiple interviews. I was 11, bro. The news station's beefing up for you. That's crazy. Big ones too.

You was a problem. Like, bro, you were huge. So, like, I feel that. Like, at that time, brother, he was treating this thing like, bro, baby Jesus. Like, I remember, bro. For sure.

It was everywhere. Everywhere. So, are we see the highlights, but, like, what was your day-to-day training, like, at that age? Yeah. So I'd say, uh, day-day training, 11, at 11 years old,

11, all right, we would, you know, wake up, go to school. And I would probably have a period of where, like, we had PE class. You know what I'm saying? And my dad was a P coach. So my dad would get my rebounds. He helped me get up shots during our P class.

Even during snack, we had snack break. I went to a little private school. So we had 30-minute snack break. I would use that to get up shots. And then, so during school getting up shots, basically. Like any time I, even asking to go to the bathroom just so I can knock down that 500. You know what I'm saying? So I made 60 real quick.

And I got 440 after school. You feel me? So I can get to playing twos and threes and ones. I wasn't allowed really to play basketball until I get these shots up, you feel what I'm saying? Because that's not really... Not the fun part. You got to get to the easy work first. That's why you're better shooting everybody else because you get up shots, you feel me?

And basically, the after school, we would, you know, I would stay and get up shots. And he'd come back at night and he would train like a whole bunch of kids. Like, you know what I'm saying, around the community and at the school. And, you know, it would just be like 50 kids for real. And then we'll sometimes stay after and get late night working. And I remember having like bad games as like a fifth grader. Whatever a bad game is in my mind, I might have missed a floater or missed a three or something. I'd be outside in front of my house still to like 3 a.m. getting up shots.

And I remember my dad making that speech to the team, to the whole team, he said, there's no reason y'all don't get up shots. My son's out here at 3 a.m., getting up shots outside his house, literally getting him shots, like getting his own rebound and everything. At 3 a.m. pitch black, dark. So there's no reason for you, you know, 17, 18-year-old men not to get up shots and be hitting jumpers, you what I'm saying? Do you feel like people ever hated on you for that for your dad being everywhere and he's everywhere with you? Like, do you feel like like the kids there?

Like, you know what I'm saying? Good question. Especially saying shit like that. Yeah, yeah. You'll have like random people come in like around a team and have, you know, you can see the jealousy of not having a father or something like that around. Because I be, because I got a pop, so I'll be feeling that energy. Yes. I feel you.

Yeah, yeah. You know, and then someone just mad at you because you got a good dad, you feel me. But, you know, a few times, but I had a lot of people around me that were like real, like, real close with me and understood like, I guess, the prize at the time, you feel me? So they were real protective over them weirdos that felt that way. Right, right, right. You know what I'm saying?

You got to protect them up. He's going to get us here. Yeah. Keep him smooth. That's, yeah, exactly. That's not supposed to be. And, like, what's you hate on 11 year or four? I don't give a fuck what's going on.

You're saying? That's the fact. He's a kid, bro. Literally, bro. Yeah. I used to be in a barbershop, bro, in the chair. Sit sitting there, niggas just come up talking shit to me, bro.

Talking about somebody make your, oh, somebody behind the camera making your edits. I used to be going at it. They used to think you was faking. I thought it was all cats. Yeah, I'm like, bro, so I'm not getting buckets? Like, and I'm not, my dad don't make the video. I never thought of that one.

This is a real channel making it, you know what I'm saying? But I say that to say, like, I used to hear this shit from everybody. That's great. Even at the barbershop, bro. Do you feel like, because I, I see this narrative, this narrative allowed. Do you feel like the attention helped or hurt your development as a player? I think it definitely helped my development because I always felt like

I had to like maintain and be that. You know what I'm saying? They're saying I'm this. They're saying I'm that. So I got to live up to it. I didn't ever want to be the kid that was dad and not nothing. And at the moment, a lot of people might think, oh, he was that kid. And now he's nothing. But, you know, my journey's different. I'm going to be hooping on a high level for sure. You know what I'm saying? And that's just all the, strength of what I'm doing in Jim Daly and you know what I'm saying and getting opportunity to do so But nah yeah I feel like yeah definitely not okay so right now we at fifth grade varsity

What comes next after that you start going viral with fifth grade varsity how long did you stay there What was your next move? Yeah so uh shoot I was at that school till 11 grade for real so okay okay so okay so that's where I uh was your pops the coach the whole time Yes, it was the whole time. Yeah, yep. And we had a, yeah, you know, we played, it was some great memorable moments, man. It was like the vacations, I call it.

We had trips to go on, play tournaments. That's where we play lamello and Jay LaMello and Jane LaGree and stuff like that in the grind session. But those were like the most memorable moments, man. And high school basketball, it was off the court shit. Like, you know what I'm saying? A smoker with La Mello and shit like that, that was lit. Like, yeah, shit like that was lit. No, that's those.

So, all right, so you start getting in the, well, you said, 11th grade. So what year did you get the high school record? What year was that? Well, you beat the scoring record. Yeah. So every time I did it, like, oh, okay, beat the nation's record, I'd say what? It was senior year or junior year?

It might have been junior year where it was like 6,000 points. Sophomore year, right? Yeah. It was a sophomore year, yeah. You beat the scoring record at your high school. Oh, at the high school, no. Yeah, yeah. And that was Florida, I think, because at my high school, I probably was the first year

and 11 years old, probably score more than everybody. So it was probably Florida Because, yeah, but I ended up with like 6,000 points or something like that But it was against, you know, it was real buckets though I ain't gonna cap against some real niggas So who was some of the people that you was playing with That ended up going league or just even if they didn't came close?

Yeah, so a lot of people I went, you know, when D1 played great college ball But so when I play with personally I wouldn't say is in the league right now But against, you feel me, against There's a lot of dudes planning, making great money overseas and stuff like that that I played with. People don't realize how hard it really is to get to the league. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

You're getting here. No, 100%. No, I take a lot of work. So, or so is high school, what's your ideas next? Like, are you thinking of what colleges you want to go to? What kind of offers is coming in? Like, what's the vibe around that as high school is starting to end? So, yeah, so high school's starting to end, bro.

You know, we have the reality show. at the time and that shit was crazy It should change life What age did that start at? The question What age that started at? And who idea was that? The radio show?

The Radite show, yeah. So, uh, 2018. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 2018, that was my sophomore year. Okay, yeah, yeah. But I only asked, I really, I don't know why I don't know that. But it started then, yep, about sophomore junior year. Who I did was the reality show?

It was the company overtime. It was their idea. They came to us with it, right? Yes, and it was just, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so they're a new company trying to get off the ground. And they... Ball's Life wanted to do one too, but we chose...

Yeah. So Ball's Life, a lot of different of the outlets wanted to do a reality show. By the time, they had flew us out to New York, they just for a conversation. They had the ones that made the, you know what I'm saying, the right moves for it. So, you know, we had a conversation about it in New York and, you know, this seemed cool and shit. They were pitching the thing about how the Internet is the new TV. This is five, six years ago. They were saying this reality show is going to.

it's going to go, it's going to go crazy because you guys are popping, but also because YouTube and the internet is the new TV. That's a fact. Yeah. So that's, it was their idea for sure. So what was that like? You still, so you're going to private school at this point? Yes.

So what's that like being famous everywhere across the nation? You got a reality show. What's that like in your average day at school? Yeah, yeah. People treating you different, the same. What's that like? So, no, great question, man, because like, it was good towards, you know, kids and your fans. outside your city was great, you know what I'm saying?

But my teachers and stuff were definitely treating me different in a bad way. They own you. Yeah, they own me, bro. They think I'm like, bro, I was so humble, bro. And still to the day, bro, I look arrogant as hell, but I'm, I feel like I'm even then, I was. I feel like on the court, you have to be here. You got to be that, bro.

You ain't going to be, you know what I'm saying? You have to be. You got to have some dogging. On God, bro. On the court, you have to be there. And if you don't feel like you, they're already tearing you down. You got to put, I always tell people that I've got to be a lot to tell people that. I got to be a little extra because they're trying to bring me down the entire time.

So for me to stay afloat, I got to be a little extra. That's 100% of facts, bro. That's a fact. And that's, you know, I had to talk on my back every time I step on the court. But growing up in school, how they treated me was, I mean, some teachers were great. Some teachers understood what other teachers were doing. Like, I know that teachers being an asshole towards you for other reasons. But I understand what you're going through.

And it's like, you know what I'm saying? There's some teachers that were great, but some that weren't, to talk about the ones that weren't. You know what I mean? It would be like certain things. Like kids were like, man, how was Chicago? How was Steve Harvey's show? I'm telling a kid about it.

And teachers like, oh, we don't need to hear about your talk show stuff. We don't need to hear about that stuff. And I'm like, I'm just answering his question. Like, literally, like, said to at 11 years old. You feel like situations like that changed you? Yeah, I feel like I definitely molded me for sure. Like, it made me realize young that people were, I mean, it's a hate. You can't live in your curiosity no more because.

you got these grown people shit. Yeah, bro. If they're gonna do it at 11, like, you know what I'm saying? It definitely made me like, I mean, in a sense, angry, I'd say. And, like, realize people are, I mean, I feel like everybody was a hater, bro. You know what I mean? At certain points, you're saying? But yeah.

Why do you feel like they was hate? What do you feel like personally made them hate on you? What you think? I think the fact that they didn't, they had, so certain people don't understand basketball, for one or what's going on, you feel? I mean, a lot of people think that I was on the team because of my dad. I wasn't. Literally wasn't.

Like, you could watch the practice. You see what's going on. See the game. You see I belong there at 11. You feel me? Yeah, I've seen a lot of those narratives when you watch the YouTube videos. Yeah, yeah. It's his dad.

This is his dad. Yeah, exactly. But a lot of things is like, you know, a lot of, and my dad ain't scoring that. For me, he ain't, you know what I'm saying? He ain't doing it's dirty. He's not, you know what I'm saying. He just training me to do it. He can't do that, bro.

And that's the thing. So I think teachers, bro, I really don't know. Some people just have miserable lives, bro, and don't, like, I don't know what it could have been. But I know for certain some teachers trying to like, I don't want to give them special privilege so I get treated worse. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? It's backwards. It's like, you know, I never wanted special privilege.

I just want to be treated like everybody else. You feel me? Like, if this, they had a problem with I, I use my snack time to get up shots. Which is crazy. You're trying to force me to not fall. It's crazy. Which is good. I'm being athletic.

Y'all niggas is eating right now at 10 a.m. When we had breakfast early, you know what I'm saying? Facts, facts. But just little shit like that. A viral fame struggle. Yeah. A lot of players with viral fame struggle with the jump to two college order pros. Why do you feel like that is?

So I, hmm, for other people, for most people, I don't know. But for me, I know that I had like multiple opportunities to go to play college, Division 1 basketball. Straight out of high school, for sure. COVID obviously was a problem, but, you know, I had an agent who's, you know, an agent for a lot of people in the NBA at the moment. Like big players, you know, what's his name?

Rob Dillenlyham and some more. But I had got promised so much, bro, so don't do that. Don't go there. We're not, no, they're going to. Because I do have offers from what, Kentucky, Miami? No, I wasn't Kentucky. That might have been.

I had, I definitely had USF, a UCF, you know, like mid-majors and low major Division 1 schools. Okay, okay, okay, okay. You know, Texas, stuff like that. What was a, was it, UT? I forgot what it. Yeah, UTSA. A couple colleges, you know, it wasn't like Kentucky and stuff like that, but. Okay, okay.

Obviously, I could play on that level. It was just, I don't know. Was it the reality show? Was it because he's five, five? Was it? Who knows? But everyone knows. That's outside of your control.

Exactly. A lot of people know that I could play at that level, but a lot of, But I didn't go Division 1 basketball straight to high school strictly to because they're going to put you in the system. This is by other people. You don't go there. That's when your basketball career would be done. We got to get you overseas with the right thing. So you feel like people putting the wrong ideas in your head or even putting ideas that might not even be wrong but just might not be right for you.

It was even people of power, people that knew what they were doing, bro. You feel I'm saying? It wasn't just like individuals that like, you know what I'm an agent. No, I was real agents that make millions of dollars. Yeah, trying to get more money. Like I had deals in Australia. Once you go there, the money is no longer necessarily in their hands. Exactly.

So I got a deal. I had a big deal in Australia. I don't care what the money was. It was probably great. But I had an agent working the deal. It was the NBA, big league with the League of Mello came from. I was supposed to go there right out of high school. At least, I had a deal, everything set up.

But I think my agent was trying to get more and more money out the situation. And blew it. And blew it. Did y'all know these things at that point or you didn't know? No. No, I mean, I didn't know he was like, he was like, oh, if this doesn't work, we're going to send you to the G League. If that doesn't work, we're going to send you to Germany. You know what I'm saying?

I'm not here to bash him at all. No, I'm just saying like, you know, I got promised certain things. That's why I'm not playing Division I basketball at the moment. If I'm saying, that's really it. But as the gameplay, everybody in the basketball community knows that I can play at any level. They just trying to like, they like, they like to play me, bro, because it's a train to play me, bro. I don't fucking know. I don't know, bro.

That's really why I wanted to get you up here so you could speak your truth of what you feel like it is. You feel me? Why is that, bro? I don't know, bro. I really don't know. Like, it'd be corny niggas saying it. Niggas like you don't talk like that. You feel what I'm saying?

Yeah. So. Because look, I relate, bro, because I'm a type of nigga that, bro. I got temper. I go off on shit. People will see a small glimpse of you and certain things. And then they'll say, that's you 100% of the time. And they'll build a narrative of you.

Like, that's him and that's what he's like. You don't know me. You've seen a small. I glitz me on the camera and I tied out until you see me in a heated situation so of course I'm heated Exactly

Yeah so like Exactly so So we'll be like For instance The IMG situation Where they sat out through a chair And broke buddy face or whatever Which is an NBA today

Yeah Dude in NBA today Yeah Jack Eid but not I don't know who that is But he's that big dude That came from Purdue He's high in the league

He's a big white guy But he came from IIG but yeah yeah yeah so that uh that that that situation where you know where that everyone would say I started I'm the harder problem no bro I'm walking through the layup line y'all beat us about 50 already because y'all got to have some ball etiquette yeah at that point you got NBA players on a team literally and I'm the only one hooping and we're going through the handshake line I'm dapping everybody up nigga talking about he's gonna my 14-old sister you know what I'm saying so that's gonna have a fight I got a little sister we fit to fight yeah yeah

The game. Fuck who looking. You already busted our ass, where you're going to talk to me like that. Basketball etiquette. Yeah. I grew up 50, bro. You should be cordial to the...

Yeah. Unless the biggest had ultimate disrespect for you early on, you're supposed to be cordial. Don't even know, bro, you know what I'm saying? Like, do that start, I don't know. You feel I mean? How often did you get in the physical fights

when he was playing a ball, bro? I don't know, man. Like, I don't... It wasn't as much as, like, the media made it. And I like to say that because I want to play further. Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? outside shit playing into it. So I like to say, like,

there was this big situation where a big one went viral and everything where my mom, we was, we hooped it, we never played in Orlando due to this situation. We even moved to the West Coast due to this situation because the overtime didn't want to film the reality show in Orlando because they were scared

of altercations and people getting hurt. My mom was hurt mad for sure. But we had left the game and this after we beat a team, You know, I don't really know much, but we had walked out, bro, and my mom gets stomped on, getting beat up, bro. Like, hopped on by, like, mad people, bro, and I'm just... What kind of shit is that? Yeah, bro, like, literally, like, and you would think, like, Julian started that.

Julian did that. I went to jail, gang. Yeah, bro, honestly, bro, we was wilding. I'm going to jail, nigga. My mother? Yeah. And then they get mad, you know, and say, I'm tripping and I'm not trying to hoop because I'm... I fully feel that, bro. You touch my mind.

That's crazy. All right. Yeah. Pointed towards me. Family is off of movies. Exactly. For sure. Like, come on.

My mom, like, she's small, too. You feel me? Little girl. Like, yeah, bro. And I'm sitting there, I remember to this day, standing over her. Like, she's bloody, bro. I'm like, standing over here. So nobody touch her no more.

I'm like, bro, was a bra for a good 30 minutes in that parking lot. For sure. That's why, you know, shout out to the team. And, you know, shout out to people who was there. But they really held it down. You know, I'm saying? And really, like, you know, made sure our presence was felt, for sure. That's crazy, bro.

And when people make these. videos, all the videos I watched, I ain't never seen him mention it. You know what I'm saying? So what do, how do you, how do that make you feel when they make these videos of you, of your perception? Like, I feel like it's kicking somebody when he down. Like, all right, bro, he didn't go to the league. Can we move on?

Yeah, yeah. Like, you get what I'm saying? Like, you don't got it. And it's all right to critique somebody, but to make a video and act like you know the entire situation. This is why he didn't go to the, dude you know that, niggas? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You be in, you be in these rooms when they're gonna I'm saying?

That's why I'd be like, man, let people speak for their self. I don't like to get an idea of somebody before you. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, man, he needs to get up here and speak his mind. How do those videos make you feel, bro? So to be real, I don't watch them. To be real. I wouldn't either.

You know what I'm saying? Of course, I've seen a few. Of course, like, just randomly a friend showing me. Like, I ain't trying to shit. I never personally clicked on one because it's like, I understand what that is. As a young age, my name was like views, bro. Like, honestly, like, these news stations and YouTube companies and they, bro, But, yeah, when it comes to views and, like, in the basketball community.

You worked the clip form. Yes, literally. And, like, I got literally, like, the top 100 views on overtime. Like, the top 100 videos that are the highest views have to do with the Newman name. And not the Julian Newman name, not the other Newman name, respect to them. But, like, even Ball's Life, their top 50 videos are my name. You know what I'm saying? And I say that to say, like, the videos you're talking about, a lot of times, like, I feel like them people aren't haters.

They want views. Disgruntal fans. Yeah, exactly. They understand what's going to get them views. Even me on my YouTube, sometimes I'll fuck with my name. Sometimes I'm going to give views. And, you know, okay, let's say they really feel like they believe what they talk about in the video. I don't really care what they talk about because I don't know who they are, for one.

For two, like you said, they don't know the story. they don't know what's going on they don't know what's up and for three but my journey's not done you feel me I'm gonna prove everybody wrong like and you know

I'm gonna just prove it with actions you feel I'm saying I'm working I'm gonna get there and I got some big things coming for sure for sure yeah I can feel that so alright so right now we are what high school

I saw life at the high school so all right so your brand prodigy you feel me it's been a big part of your journey what's the what's the vision for for it moving forward in your mind

division for it moving forward forward, I believe, you know, it's a great question. Someone from our father and me as well, but I'd say, you know, making it like, it's more than basketball. It isn't just basketball. Prodigy, you know, obviously, like, I think the biggest thing referred to would be music when you think of Prodigy. But, like, it's a, you could be a prodigy in anything, you feel me?

And that's what my dad likes to say. So I say, you know, pitching that to the world and getting that out to the world more because it's a good message, you feel me? You know what I'm saying? It's, you don't got to be a little dude to be. You don't got to be a kid either. I feel like it's just someone young, good at their craft, you know what I'm saying, and going hard, whatever it is, music, golf, painting, whatever it is.

I feel like just expanding that and getting into more cultures and sports for sure. I feel that, I feel like your main focus right now is basketball, business, content creation, or something else? All the above, man. Yeah, you hit all of them, really. I'm, you know what I'm saying? I'm still grinding, really, working on my game. daily about to, you know, playing some, you know, great things coming forward.

I play college baffle this season just to stay, you know, stay in shape and get ready for what's coming, you know, and really on the YouTube grind, really just started that, trying to, you know, come up with some ideas and get stuff going. It's really hard when everybody, everybody used my name, bro. You know what I'm saying? Trying to get the views on my channel. It's hard to, bro, I tell people, it's hard to re-get a reputation after they drug it.

that they drag it through the mud. Yeah, yeah. It's hard to re-do it. Even if it's, even if it's not got nothing to do with you. Yeah, yeah. It's hard to re-get that. How do you, what, what do you feel like that plays a part in your life?

And if so, what you feel like you're doing to actively try to like change it? Well, I will say when people meet me, they think they know me. They think they know my character. They think know who I am. But like, anybody who knows me truly and like is a friend of mine, like dearly, they'll tell you like I'm the complete opposite of what the media makes me be and every time you see me bug out brother's a righteous reason bro and like

you know what I'm saying if I like I don't know like I'm not from the craziest place in the world but you're not going to play with certain things you feel me like you gotta be a man about something yeah exactly it's a man I mean I'm watching a podcast man is the difference between a man and a gangster right yeah I'm a man bro like you know you can't

and I of course I try to uh I feel like I want to make my image good but I feel like damn where the hell it went bad you know what I'm saying you say you say you can fuck my 13-year-old sister of course I'm going to punch on you You know what I'm saying Or like I don't know

I get punched on all the fucking time And nobody says shit You know what I'm saying So you know It's just good All publicity Good publicity is what I was taught You feel me

And I believe it But So it don't mess with me mentally And what I got going I'm always paid I'm always good I'm straight I feel that

Yeah yeah What you feel like Is one of the biggest misconceptions about you Speaking on that Man I wouldn't even say that I can hoop Because niggas know I can hoop

I say my character bro. I say they think I'm a hot head and I believe yeah, I can get hot head in the show. You know what I'm saying? Like I say I'm actually a good dude man I'm more humble than I appear. You feel me? And yeah, I say, you know, I don't be starting to fight like everybody think. I'll be trying to hoop, man.

Like, you know, for instance, that little situation that you was talking about. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But not that really, I don't, like, I'm not what everybody made me to be, man. I'm a good dude. And a lot of people say, oh, what's everybody make you to be? There's some people that love you.

And I fought with them heavy. They know what's up. They know what I'm saying. I ain't out here to hurt, no, but I'm out here just living, bro. All right, so you take the alternative route, instead of what they say, the NCAA route. Exactly.

So what, you already explained a little bit of it, but why do you feel like you went that route? Yep. So, all my life, I feel like, it was like, overseas was like the thing. I wanted to get paid. You couldn't get paid to play. college basketball at the time.

I was... I wish, bro. What? Yeah. Exactly. So that, appreciate that. Yeah,

that's a big thing. You would say today was talking when Mark Cuban was involved in the conversation. They were talking about how, like, my brand and the metal brand

was the biggest at the time. For sure. So, but the reasons why we didn't go to college is because, I'm speaking for myself, I didn't go to college

because there was no money there for us, you know what I'm saying? We're going to be putting the system and the college will make all the money. You know what I'm saying?

So, me personally that's why I was okay with being like are this what we're going to do because I'm I'd rather go play in Australia get paid you know a couple hundred make my name out there do who knows you know what I'm saying that's a whole different you I'm saying and then come back over here like Lamello did you know what I'm saying but yeah how you feel about that decision do you are you still proud of that decision you feel like that was right for you yeah or would you would have changed then uh uh not much I would have changed man it's not you know Crying over spilled milk and shit like there ain't much you can do.

No regrets. No regrets, yeah. I agree, though. For certain colleges, put me to box and they hate, you don't want me to, you know what I can do. Yeah, you can fuck throughout you. You figure out of the big, I put you on the bitch just saying small. Put him at the, put him at nine. Put him at the end of that motherfucker.

For instance, this year I'm a freshman. I'll be in practice doing my thing. Everybody know, like, I'm not, you'm saying? But, you know, there's people that have been there. There's seniors and juniors. They've been there. They even do stuff for the color. versus bigger than basketball.

It's bigger, yeah. So they play. I get like five minutes of game. You know, you see certain shit where they're talking crazy, but you see where I got five minutes and I did my, I got 11 points, four for seven, did my thing, like, you feel me? Right, even on a restricted time. Even on restricted time, yeah.

So to say like the decisions that were made, I wouldn't go back and change it because I am who I am who I am because of those decisions. Like, I'm going to go, when it's all said and done, I'm going to be where I'm supposed to be. and you know what I'm saying at the end Hooping when I'm supposed to Hoop man

For sure I feel that I for that for sure So Another thing I want to get into Speaking of All that internet shit Do you feel like it was ever a point Where you felt like

You had to prove yourself Beyond the internet Or you just like What do people say Hmm Yeah I mean Every gym I walked into Bro I couldn't hoop

Like even you hoop With friends I used to tell them bro I ain't I ain't going there bro Like not Not today gang Like, not because I'm afraid.

I'm trying to chill today. You know, like... Because you already know as soon as you walk in. Yeah. Because you're gonna bust your eyes, put him on Instagram. Julie Newman here, I'm gonna bust your eyes, put him on Instagram. It's not even like an arrogant thing. It's their chance, bro.

You know what I'm saying? So definitely like, can't go to LA. Can't go nowhere and hoop, bro, because, you know, they try to prove points, bro. And do I try to prove points? Nah, I mean, maybe I was young. Probably, probably try to prove points, probably. But now I'm like, I wouldn't even, unless you got some money, I ain't checking up with you.

I for that. I for that. All right. So once you get to, once you go to your alternative route, what was the next step? Once all the agents is saying, go do this, go do that. What was the next step? Man, you know, me and my dad, our biggest thing was always stay in the gym, stay ready. So, like, when your opportunity come, you're ready for it.

You need to f*** it up. You know what I'm saying? You ain't looking stupid. it. So that was our biggest thing. It was always in the gym getting ready, you know, working their socials and doing stuff like that. You had the reality show going as well. Yeah, it really was just, you know, think about trusting in certain people to make a decision for you to go somewhere.

And then after that, it was just really just, you know, we lost contact with certain agents and stuff. And then, you know, I got an opportunity to hoop this year, college ball. My boy, I went to the school. Like, yo, come hoop. Come on, it would be cool. It was cool. It was great. But next year, you know, I'll probably go there and play way more and do what I'm supposed to do.

You're going to see it for sure. Okay. Okay. All right. So, have you ever thought about playing any pro leagues, like outside of you, besides overseas or even overseas? Yeah, so, like, the TBL, they were trying to give me my own team. Like, it's not, like, hugely, but it's some coming up.

They have a lot of teams in it. It's a TBL trying to get my own team in Florida at the time. But it was like, it just, you. You know, it wasn't enough. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? That's like, for me it was like... Yeah.

That was also like something that, you know, it was like, that's like the back burner shit for real. I could still play that if I wanted to. You feel me to this day. But like, you know, definitely leagues like that, reach out and shit like that for sure. And, you know, definitely a lot of overseas teams and stuff like that.

But I'm trying to go where it makes sense, you know? I ain't trying to go for... Exactly. I make more bread, chill at the crib, then when they go to travel to Germany and go get paid whatever they're trying to pay like I feel that for that for sure for sure

And now I said respectfully and humbly It's true that's why I can definitely go play ball somewhere But like it's got to make sense You feel me Yeah don't just to do it Yeah I'll for that I for that

Speaking of where you see yourself For that's five years You feel basketball media Something else What you think? Who? For sure All of it though You know what I'm saying

And you know more of a brand Julian Newman has a brand And a whole you feel me It's all gonna go. You know, I like to speak positively for sure. And it's on me. If I do the thing that I'm supposed to do and get ready for what I'm supposed to

get ready, I believe I can see myself in the league, bro. Like, Jose, and that's delusional to a lot of people. There's a lot of small people who, like, I feel like I bust their ass right now, like, in the league. Like, they're there for defensive reasons. I can put that bitch in the hoop, you know what I feel me? Like, and I said to say, like, just to clear up to, oh, he delusional. Nah, just a lot of niggas in the league that I give it.

to him. You feel me? I believe it. You feel like you're a bus. Name them. And I have. Bans some niggas in the league who you feel like you're a bust they ass right now. I feel like anybody. I feel like I get Kyrie. Let's play some ones. You feel me. Steph. Steph, all respect to Steph. He can't fucking be in the ones. I ain't a lot. Steph Curry ain't a fucking way. He can shoot that

for show. I feel like ain't away can stay in front of me, bruh. I'm too small and fast. That's the thing. I'm also fast. Like, they do a lot of fast niggas. But I'm five, five and fast. And fast. You're supposed to feel like that. I ain't mad at you for feeling like that. But it's also like, it's also like, you know, in Vegas, and I moved to Vegas probably a couple years ago, about I stayed in Cali now.

But we play pro runs. League niggas come through all the time. I'm getting it to him. By the fistfighting all that because they're mad. I'm busting their ass, bro. Who was somebody you was spending his fist fight? So I won't go fight the Marcus cousin, but the market's cousin can vouch.

He know I, he know I get to it, and he know I'll be getting to it. You feel me? Like, every Tuesday and Thursday in Vegas, we was, it's called KG Run. Shout out. Shout out, dude. We had runs, you know what I'm saying?

And some league dudes came through there. A lot of people came through the, Damien Liller came through there. Yeah, I missed that day, though. We was in Florida that day. But Isaiah Thomas, everybody, Bernard. I'm always doing my thing. Always getting buckets. And, you know, niggas always mad.

That's how you know a nigga doing something. I'll for that. I'll for that. So what's some advice you'll get to some young hoopers coming up in social media? Stay in the gym. For sure. Social media is something that's like that should follow you because of your gameplay. You feel I'm saying?

Also, you got to have, like, Social media mindset now as well. It's a little different. You got to pull the phone out for certain shit. But stay in the gym, biggest thing. As long as your game right, you know how to work a phone, bro, you're going to be all right. You know what I'm saying?

Stay in the gym is the thing, though. Like my dad told me, like, don't worry about that. Stay in the gym, don't worry about, bro. I listen to him. But if I listen to him to the teeth, oh, shit. Yeah, he knows what he's talking about. Stay in the gym, like, for sure, for sure. As you should.

No matter what's going on, you get staying the gym. They say this, say that. You ready, though. I'm saying. You got to stay prepared because if I'm not, when it's that time that call you, what you really don't do. You don't have time. You don't got the luxury to just pop up out of shape and then get in shaping the training camp. Absolutely not.

Big thing is like people want to go viral and they want to mix tape and that's been big thing forever. I never reached for that. I ain't never asked for that. I was playing ball and I was giving that. Not saying that's how it is for everybody. You might got to make your own mixtape. You might got to do that. Like, I'm not saying that's not that.

But I'm saying social media should be the second thing you're thinking about. Make sure you're game right. And I'm speaking to, like, children there. Like, you know what I'm saying? You want to play basketball. Make sure you in a gym. Like, you prepare, you're going to be good. For real.

To my next question. Do you think social media could be a blessing or a curse for young athletes? So for me, I think it was a blessing. But for young athletes, it could be a curse because trying to chase social media. That's not what I chase. That's not what I'm sure La Mello chase. That's not what the brothers. No one chased social media like that is their.

today you know what I'm saying that's doing shit yeah but now today everybody's chasing social media it's a little backwards and you know what I'm saying and I don't know you feel like I feel like basketball is getting a little more skilled but less people it's like you know I'm saying it's like I don't know but I will say is yeah you got to just stay in you see in that gym bro and uh social media is definitely hurting this generation I feel like it's helping the ones that's got it and is getting paid even the one is getting paid a lot of people went to the OTE that one year. A lot of them

niggas ain't go to the league, bruh. They got a million or $500,000. That's it. Yeah. Well,

they probably spent that that month that year. Now what? And after taxes, is it really a meal? Is it really a meal?

Hell no. It's not. No. And it's, I say that to say like, social media hurts. It does.

And it helps these companies. It helps everybody else, bro. And it helps the ones that are chosen. The ones that, oh, we like you. Let's get you on.

You know what's there's a lot of that can hoop that niggins ain't focused on. I feel like social media help your career positively or negatively. Both. I feel like social media help my career positively and negatively, for sure. You know, people, it became a thing to where people can make their own narrative

and people listen to it. Back when I was young, like, that wasn't a thing. That clown saying this, who the fuck is this nigga? Who are you? Yeah, like, now everybody. Now it's like, oh. Bryce just saying, Julian suck at ball, so I believe it. You sound dumb.

You can't who probably. You know what I'm saying? That's just what it is. You had to be good at something for your opinion to matter. Exactly. It had to be at what you was good at. Even if you was good at one thing and you were saying, that's like if you balling up in basketball,

you're like, man, that quarterback shit. Nigger, go throw it. Exactly. You know, you ball. Yeah, exactly. You don't. You're going to cry. I don't want to hear your opinion on that.

Exactly. You feel me? That's what I'd be on nowadays. Anybody opinion, you matter. And it's like, you're supposed. to be great for your opinion to be exactly and you see how like the world's fucked up they'd be like oh

they think our mindset or my mindset because I don't care about no this nobody's mindset that I just care about somebody someone with character or someone who's known mindset when that that's so backwards why I got to tend to this nigga's

argument and make him somebody it make no sense I'm gonna care what the nigga that's doing it's exactly what he want from you Yeah, bro. That's exactly what you want from you and base. Is your attention. And the world is like, you know, the social media world, they're just backwards, bro.

You know? I would agree. So, all right, so outside of basketball, man, what's something that you really let it do? I like to go bowling, man. Like to hang with family going on vacation. Like the beach, for real. I feel that.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I play a lot of Fortnite. You're building. Yeah, yeah. That's new. I played it back in 2020, but picked it up this year. You be getting to with niggas on there When they find out who you is

For that reason I don't want no have phones I don't get broke because I play GTA I'll be on there They'd be like This really would you Yeah

Just going to the top. Going to the top to check it up. Bro, start, hey, call me all types of bitches and this and that. And I'm like telling him he's there for, you know, you hear for, bro. I know what's up. And since you walked in, bro,

you know what you're here for, bro? I ain't never called on his name. I didn't call me a bitch, nothing. He called me a bitch, then he put his hand on my head. You know how they, bro, you can't touch nobody, gang.

So once he put my head on my head on my head. That's what I'm all right. I tell a Plike Boy, I'm like, bro, I'm not here for that. You can see it in the footage. I'm not here for that, bro. I ain't here for that, bro. You feel like you know where this going. Bro, I've seen that shit a mile away, bro.

A mile away. And people think I'm tripping for seeing him all the way. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, and then he had, I was going to check up, bro. But then after he's pushing my head and stuff, I'm like, I'm not here for that. And he's like, all right, bang. I see that. You good.

You good. Come over here. I'm like, bro, I can't hoop with a dude on the floor. Like, I know what you're here for, you'm saying? You can't call me no bitch and push me in my head

and expect to get the hooping. You can't expect to get back to hooping. You feel me? And then, not to mention, what's it called? Yeah, and then, Uno, just playing. You see him playing for the camera and shit, bro?

You see him like, and this at the time, like I said, we're straight now. But you see him playing and, you know what I mean, egging on the situation, like, bro, saying, oh, why won't you Hey, though, nigga, you're going to let a nigga touch in your head call you a bitch and then just check up. You're out of here, man.

Like, to act like that's okay, to act like I'm, I'm inhumane for that. Come on, gee. And then my girl's like, come on, let's go, let's go. And then I forgot how that started. They had said something to her and she, you know, she's, it's me and her against the 30 people, against the whole gym. So I don't condone woman speaking and arguing in men's conversations. I don't. I don't at all.

But I'm giving perspective to the world. It was just me and her in this situation. and she had enough, bro, so she was just, she opened her mouth. You feel me? And to them, that's what made her mad. But, bro, niggas want to beat me up anyway. You feel me? So I wouldn't blame it on that.

Niggas want to beat me up anyway, bro. You see it in the comments, this niggas, ah, bro. You know what I'm saying? Bro, you know what niggas don't like when a nigger hooping and do it, like, and to say, Ouno ain't, like, he ain't want no problem, but you can see what niggas was there. He was there for the hell of clout. They ain't start none of that.

I don't know who do this or nothing like that But like I said, ain't no animosity or nothing towards them niggas But really Then the final thing you probably What you really talk about is He called my girl a bitch or something out loud All I remember seeing is you who running up on him Yes

It took a long time to get there but yes It was a whole bunch way before that That's what all this is like 30 minutes before like And I'm trying to tell him bro like I'm either going to leave Or he going to leave and play Like what I'm trying to say is He's all that dick right dick

Nicky, it's team Blackboy Max for team Julian Newman. Right. So he thinks it's crazy to tell a nigga sit down who's starting fights over your special guest. Like, nigga, if Plakeboy makes you come to my gym and nigger tripped on you, we beat the fuck by them, bro. What is you talking about? I invited you gang.

I'm not saying you should have put hands on them. Nah, but I asked you to make me feel safe. You know what I'm saying? And niggas is acting like, oh, you're a clown. You for the content, bro. That's why I got respect for him, but the niggas is clipfire. bro, you feel me? That's how I feel towards it.

So I had, he had called my girl, uh, he said something. I called a, I said, bro, he called me hell of bitches. I said he a bitch. And then he called my girl a bitch or something. And I had ran up. I'm like, bro, come on, man, it's just, you know what I was too much. That's when it was too far. Yeah, too far.

So I ran up, you know what I'm saying? I see him about the basketball. A lot of niggas say he two-piece me, man. No, he ain't touched me. He touched me. Like you said, I've seen a video if you raised him up a bit, maybe, but I backed up. You feel? me like I put up on them not throwing because nigga you know what I box a little bit

I'd be in any boxing class and so you can't you know I'm trying to knock out you know smart I'm trying to box with him you know I'm saying and uh I say that to say like you know man man anybody touch me man not saying I can't get touch anybody touchable anybody I ain't saying that I'm saying in that situation he did not two piece me game I think that's pretty I think that's what I say in the reaction I don't remember could we be reacting you did say that yeah yeah yeah I'm like I've seen it Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be keeping it at the 100.

For sure, yeah, yeah. I don't even know you watching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna get her hunting. I was like, it don't look like it, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why we didn't look like. When my teammate hit you up and shit like that and you had sat down like,

hell you ever get on, bro, brother. He was real for sure. I appreciate that. Yeah, because I ain't the type of nigger like I hear all the, all the, but I get that. I'm like, you feel me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. People do that too me.

Yeah, yeah. I already, I already know how that be. Oh, God. Niggas already. So I get it Before a nigga even walk in They already got all the type of ideas And if they felt like you're proven enough to them

That you're not that That's exactly what you are And I'm not going on my way to prove shit Exactly I don't even know you I'm just gonna be me He called me all types of bitch and shit I ain't do nothing

But once you like talking about my family My girl Now you call my girl a bitch Like I'm supposed to them I'm supposed to him I'm punching him I'm like I said I'm coming the craziest place

We gotta do that But you call me a bitch brady and so You call me a bitch up here And I'm what happened You can't do that. I whooped his eyes. Imagine on a basketball floor, like, you're the chilling environment right here.

Imagine on a basketball floor where you already like, your intensity already high. You feel me? It's just no-nose, bro. You can't do. I'm going to give you a certain pass when we balling. Like, if I know you, you feel of me, and you hit it bitch-ass-knit.

I'm going to give you a path. I'm not even mad at that. You deserve a bitch-assling right there. You're busting me. But once it gets the disrespect outside, once it lead to court, you see, once the ball laying in my hand, and the game is over,

You know what I'm saying? All right, this is a problem. I ain't at that, bro. I feel like niggas come with a misconception of you and they automatically want to go in with that and niggas already don't like you. That's what it is. Niggas don't like me.

So as soon as I come in the room, I don't like this, nigga. I feel like that's gay. You don't know me. How can you not like somebody you don't know? It's a gay, bro. That should be blowing my mind. Yeah, bro.

You cannot like the idea. You cannot like something about them. You cannot agree with what they do or not agree with what they say, but you don't like them? They make no sense. You don't know me. No, not at all.

And yeah, that... That'd be fucking my head up. Oh, God, bro. You feel me? Same shit. I'd be fucking my head. Same shit, bro. Nah, so that's another reason, you feel?

Why, I'll be watching documentaries. I'm like, I'm like... Yeah. I automatically like this, nigga. Yeah, exactly. I like this nigga. Yeah, exactly. I'd be the same way.

I like... Because I lived it. You feel? Yeah, yeah. I relate to that kind of shit, bro. So you feel me? I'm not mad at it when I see you all here fighting and shit.

And you small, bro. People want to pick on niggas that small. Bro. That's how that be. When you little, they pick on you. Bro, even back in their day, all the niggas, you're telling them, bro, don't smoke this way.

Stop, you're trying to throw smoke. You're little, that's what people do. You know what I'm saying? Especially a little nigger who won to fight. Now you feel like you got an easy dub. Exactly. That's exactly what that be. Yeah, yeah.

I know how that shit. And it's like, I don't go to no gym wanting to fight. But you come on, just be realistic. I don't want to fight at all. My nigga, I'm chilling. I'm trying to hoop. Yeah, bruggish, sue out here. niggas get to go to jail

niggas, come on, man. He was grown men. Yeah, they're like shit to live for. Exactly. And that'd be the thing too, bro, is you got a thousand times more the more things to lose than the average nicky in the gym.

So, of course they want to fight you. And there's little rumors about dudes setting that shit up on purpose, about Plot Boy, Max. Having not Uno, but the dude, Uno was with try me on purpose because... They know your reputation. Exactly.

Like, I was on a podcast a week ago. The podcast was the whole goal was to upset me. Nicky the whole time. So niggas narratives right now to make me crash crash out whatever the fuck that mean. Yeah. And then they're trying to use it because they know you got a temporary, you feel me.

Let's bring them up here. Yeah. Let's click. That's clip farm. Mm-hmm. And let's be real. Let me, I could do that shit to everybody.

I could, you could bring that shit out of everyone though. Yeah. No fact, that's 100%. If you wanted to be a nigga doing grimy-type of content, you could call everybody to play ball and be as grimy as you want to be. Same shit.

And clip farm it up. And make everybody look bad. A big cast, and hit niggings with shooting. Yeah. Crosovers, make niggas fallings. You could do all of that. And then take my narrative and act like, they're wrong.

But that'll make it even worse. Yeah. For me, once you digger, see, we told you he was X, Y, and Z. So I get it, bro. It'd be like a rock and a hard place. Because that's why, like, I look, I don't like the narrative. He tried to spend. Try to say, I'm crazy.

I'm fucked up. Nah, bro. You f*** up. You know what I'm saying? You, you're a clout chasing ass niggas since a young nigga trying to be on YouTube. And I got respect for you. You came from the, you know, you ain't

from the you from a great place you him saying came from the trenches and shit like that but nigga he was trying to make on his youtube shit forever bro like i said to say nigga uh like he's trying to play me on his platform i'll show you later so you got more uh context so you can't think i'm just bugger i don't be watching yeah yeah i don't watch you either but niggins said it to me bro but i mean it's about too he said to me right and he'd be like oh that niggas oh he ain't gonna be one of my runs again nigga you invite me your run every week you know what I'm saying the fuck off my phone bro like you know oh can your sister come on get off my dick bro you know what I'm Like that nigga in reality, bro, to be honest with you.

Like, it's cordial. If I see them in person, oh, it's cool. It's whatever. But I don't fuck with him like that, bro. Because niggas try to play me. Like, now I think about the niggas try to play me, bro, in a certain way. When you seen me kind of your shit humbly with no camera, nigga, bring players for you to run in a certain situation where I had a whole run set up for you and everything.

Because I respect you a little nigger that got shit going for yourself. You know what I'm saying? I ain't dick riding, nigga. I'm just, I'm a real nigger doing shit for you. You know, doing shit for real niggas, right? So now I figure out here a little ho, so I ain't, I ain't going to f*** with him like that. I ain't going to lie. You just help me figure it out.

You just help me figure out. Hey, bro, that's how you feel about it. Nick can't be mad at that game. No, yeah, no care, bro. All right, so you, you feel, I want to ask you is, bro, looking back on your whole journey, you feel me, man. What you feel like is, it is the biggest lesson you learn, not just in basketball. You can move with just in life. Oh, man.

Speaking of learning shit, you feel me? Yeah, I definitely say, uh, I'll take shit for granted, man. be appreciative of what you have for sure. Like, not that I got anything stripped for me or nothing like that, but just like appreciate the moment, bro. Niggas be worried about this and that and this and that. It should change fast. It should change quick.

Worry about, I remember I was in high school. I mean, I was in sixth grade talking about, man. I got like nine years of this varsity shit left. I'm 23 now, bro. That's thing went by so quick. So really just like, you know, what I had learned was enjoy the moment. Life moved quick.

Quick as hell, bro. I remember just being 11 years old. So, like, actually, like, you know, personally, what I can say that I've learned throughout this whole journey would be, man, to just appreciate the time being, bro. Worry about today. Tomorrow's problems will come. You're saying? The problem's going to have. You'll worry about today's issues, bro.

You're going to be straight. That's the fact. Speaking of 11, that was my next question, too. If you could go back and talk to your 11-year-old self, you feel me. The kid just went viral. What will be the advice you'll give him? man it's going to be a lot of like weirdos a lot of like weirdos a lot of like weirdos a lot of people that's going to like tear you down i got nothing going for themselves

and uh you know it's going to be hard to control yourself and stuff like that but uh you know you're just you're special man you a gift from god your parents is different everything's different bro you got to move different and you got to act different uh and uh you know what i'm saying to stay in that gym and respect your parents that's what i tell my love on your old self for sure. I can for that. It's been a lot of hype, a lot of doubters, a lot of narratives around your name, but when it's all said it'll tell you for me, what do you want to, what do you want people

to remember Julian Newman there? Man, shoot, it's a great question. I want, you know, obviously a great person that, you know, played basketball and, like, gave back, you feel me? And gave back as in, like, knowledge and, you know, giving what I can to people, how you just asked me what I would tell my love and your old self. I feel like that I help a lot of people You feel me?

That's a great question to ask And I want to inspire the youth You feel me? Inspire young kids or people They don't got to be basketball It could be some that The world's telling you can't do My nigga

If you're locking you can do that Fuck what he's talking about Even some people's parents telling you You can and I don't experience this at all But I have a friend You know Who his parents tell him He got no future

And what he's trying to do It's his camera stuff And he's a young kid But sometimes your parents Can hold you back From certain things Sometimes your parents don't see the vision. My mama used to tell me, I used to tell my mama, I want to be a rapper.

And she'll tell me, pick something more realistic. I got like 50 million views on Apple Music. I downloaded your songs, bro. I tell her that show all the time. My mama is one of the greatest mammas ever. She's like she hella supported. But at that time, but she hit me with today. It's like, she's always been like, you know, rap dangerous, what you want to do.

I just wanted to pick something that was for sure. Yes. And I get this. Shit that we're trying to do. not a for sure. It's not. So some parents want you to go to for sure. Exactly.

You're right. I'm like, I know. Yeah. This is what I'm going to. Exactly. You feel me? And I feel you.

And I feel you. I'm not done yet. I tell you that all the time. Yeah. Not done yet. Exactly. Hell no. I'm not done yet.

That's why I felt you when you said that earlier. Like, me, I'm not done yet. And that leads to my next question. You feel me? Do you still got dreams of making it to the pros? And if so, what's the plan to get there? Oh, definitely, man.

I got more than dreams. You know, I got a plan, yeah, you know what I'm saying? And, you know, a dream ain't going to come true without action, you feel me? So, you know, that's all me first. And I've been in the gym, you know what I'm saying? I'm getting to it. It's going to go harder.

I'm ready on my part. You know what I'm saying? Really just staying ready. And definitely I got pro. You know, I'm definitely going to go pro. And, you know, the league is not out of question, man. I think I'm going to surprise a lot of people, bro. And, you know, everybody has their own path in their own journey.

You know, I could play three years of college basketball and then go play. G-Leaks hit the bench for three, four years, and then when I'm 30 playing the NBA, you know what, I'm just saying? I'm going, what, like 26? Something like that? Exactly, bro. There's a lot of people. Yeah. And if you see, like, randomly to be G-League nickers with gray hair.

And I say that because there's one dude for the Lakers that they played a few seasons for them. They came from the G-League, and I'm not saying that's going to be me. I'm not going to be a little smoother path than him. But I'm just saying, like. These things are possible. The things are. Whatever my path going. going to be, man, I'm going to be somewhere high playing basketball.

And that's just because that's what I want to do. Do I need, everybody needs money. But am I good financially? No, I'm not playing basketball for money. No, not at all. But I'm playing ball and staying in the gym because that's what I want to do, man. You know what I'm saying? And not to prove people wrong, but because that's what me and my dad basically sat down and

agreed on when I was a kid. We're going to do this. You're going to be there. You know what I'm saying? For that kid is a dream. I'm letting that little kid that I basically promised myself, but I used to pray to God, I'm going to the NBA, bro. You feel what I'm saying?

That ass, bro. And with all the attention that you had around you, why wouldn't you? Yeah, bro. You're like, nigga, I'm going. Do you see when I go up right? I could put myself in that shoes 100% bro. No cap. I would be like, I'm going.

I don't care what y'nick can talk about? Small or not. You hear how they talking, you see how I'm putting 50 on niggas heads? I didn't see small. That's not delusional at that point. Yes. Because people, your hype made it. It's rare.

It's rare. That's a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. And the thing is, it's like, bro, even before I had any notariety,

I've always been known around the city, like, oh, he's a lot better than, you know, these third graders and shit. But, like, even before then, I knew I was going to be. That's how faithful and, like, strong, like, a mental, like, that's how I had a father that really, like, you know what I'm saying, had a real faith, you know what I'm saying? He really had a plan and shit like that, like,

because I really truly believe that shit. I remember going, like, my, my, my close friend's dad has said, I had gone down the street just saying, I'm the best nine-year-own in the country. You best night I swear to God This is a moment Bro, Rob was reserved

Aguilla play We was Down that street Playing basketball And I'm like I'm the best Nighter on the country And the dad's like

Who told you that The parents of the kid I'm friends with He's like Who told you that? I'm like No one told me that I'm just nine

Your best nine In the country And they start laughing I never forgot that shit To this day You feel me And I'm cool with them This day

I'm just saying though I remember that I remember that For sure You feel me And that like That like That like kind of fueled

Me Like I didn't understand What that was but I understood that wasn't good energy. You know what I'm saying? I don't think I knew the words of hate or... I didn't talk like that. You said me, but I knew, like, that wasn't good energy.

Like, I knew, like, I had to, like, prove that guy wrong. Not at the time I thought that way, but, like, you know what I mean? That's just this type of shit I was dealing with, for sure. I for that. I ain't mad if that at all, bro. If you could describe your journey in one word, what would it be? And why? Longevity, man.

Like, and I like to say longevity, because... a lot of people would have folded, man, and would have, like, I fell off, I fell off, you know what I'm saying? I did whatever, like, I ain't fall off. What's falling off? You know what's falling off to you? You know what I'm saying? Like, I made it in the world's eyes.

If you really think about it, most people ain't going to do it. I did. So I definitely made it. You know what? I'm able to, I'm able to make money and shit without doing anything. You know what I'm saying? Like, like obviously doing stuff. Like, I work to have my name.

You know what I? We worked. You know what I'm saying? We worked. and a lot of people trying to start bullshit and with a lot of like hate and stuff like that to get where I am. But I'm saying like, yeah, like, definitely.

I forgot the initial question. Longgevity, yeah, bro. Longchety, yeah, my bad. Appreciate that. No, I feel you. I do it very weak. That's how it be. Yeah, that's love, bro.

Appreciate that. But yeah, longevity, bro, because that's how I would describe my journey because it's not done yet. You know what I'm saying? I'm still able to run with the best of them. And I'm only getting better. daily. You know what I'm saying? I'm better than I was in high school right now, bro. Like, actually. And at that time, like, I ain't going to lie. That nigga could have been to the league.

I ain't going to lie to you. Speaking of that, do you feel like it was outside? It was outside? You feel like it was outside? You feel like it was high? What you feel like it was? So I feel like my skills is like second to none, bro. I feel like I could jump with that ball better and stuff with Kyrie. And I say that wholeheartedly because I really put that work in game, like, you're for real, for real. like in the garage 3 a.m. dribbling that motherfucker down the road. Like I told you, not playing with friends and stuff like that just to put work in. So I truly believe when I say my skills

is really second to nobody. So again, what's the next question? What do you feel like? Do you feel like things outside of your power stopped you from getting to the lead? Like, was it your skills, right? Yes. Reputation.

People feeling like it's his fault or whatever it is. Like, you feel like, what do you feel like stop you from? You know what I'm saying? So to that answer, I feel like, you know, like we're not done yet for one. For two, why I'm not there yet? It's just because God ain't write me like that. He ain't written it like that.

It ain't my fault. I'm, nigga, I'm known. I'm here because of that nigga, because of my dad. You know what I'm saying? You're talking to me because of him, bro. You feel me? Like, that, that nigga, he done way more for communities and shit than anybody could do. You feel?

me like so yeah bro I want to ask that because it always I want to ask that because there always be the narrative I see some people say he was too small I see some people say his dad held his back I see some people say it was you I'm like so what do you if anything if anything I blame it all my

myself if anything why I ain't get there yet it ain't his fault and it ain't nobody else's fault but I say really it's just my journey's a bit different and I haven't and I didn't get there right away your book not done yet Yeah, it ain't done yet. I didn't get there right away because it just, it just, it just ain't pan.

It ain't pan out that way, you know what I'm saying? And the fact that I was, you know, I'm five, bro. I'm five, bro, at the end of the day. You know what I'm saying? And, like, like, bro, I was busting Josh Green, Javan Green, LaMello. Like, Zion Harman's, this is a big name's at the time. Like, bro, like, posh, Alexander putting four down their head, bro, like, real, real people, bro. So what the fuck do you feel like like, like, why, why y'all not?

What do you feel like not as in like, nigga, we know, of course, like, it's the journey, but what do you feel like as in like when you in that moment and you feel like it's time to either go league or get drafted or why do you feel like like like, why aren't these offers coming in? Like, what do you think they're thinking of? You get what do you think they're thinking of yourself? So a lot of it could be like, you know, like even the reality show could have been like is this thing or joke?

Is a YouTuber? You know what I'm saying? That's always been a thing. Like, that's why I ain't starting on YouTube for a while. I'm a hooper. It's funny because at the time, it was at the time, it was at the, at the, the time was all, he's doing it. By now, all those NBA guys, that's what they all do.

Exactly. So, yeah, yeah, to touch on that. They condemn you for, for shit that, that niggas are flourishing doing that. So that was, it was a joke. Like, I got to like, I was to be real. A lot of people in NBA was hating, bro. You were the reality show YouTube basketball. They was hating a lot, bro, to be real, like, to be, for example,

I go around, niggas know me, there's piles of people taking pictures of me. Nigger that's playing the NBA, you might not notice the nigga, unless you're Kobe, LeBron, Cameron, Steph Curry. Like the nigga you said, I don't know what that nigga is. Exactly, bro. You feel what I'm saying?

So a lot of niggas was a lot of people that's hating still to this day. Hey, I'd be a kid hitting up a nigga that's successful. Small guy can call nobody out. Hit up small guard. Isaiah Thomas and stuff like that. How come you ain't got no words for me, bro? You ain't got none to tell me. No advice because I got all this recognition.

You niggas ain't have it. And Gilbert Arenas and Nate Robinson. So back in the date, you're gonna rinse apologize, you know what I'm saying? And we, that's my dog, hell of cool. I love Gilbert. That's my dog. He do be saying to watch.

Yeah, yeah. I ain't gonna lie. That nigga is one of the best, one of the best point guards ever. Yeah. Oh, God. Podcast X. Yeah.

Got it. He got it. He got it. I love that, nigga, bro. For sure. He got it. And before his podcast shit, though. When the podcast, it's when he's,

that's when he gave my flowers. When he has a podcast. But when I was on my come-up, 11 years old, he's the comment. And this is not, Bro, if you're watching this, you know what I'm saying? All love, respect to you.

You know what I appreciate your apology. But he used to comment on my shit talking about, bro, that's a Christian league, bro, you were, that little school. I'm a living playing against high school kids scoring buckets, and it's not what he's saying. It's against common. You balling against bullshit, nigga. When it's not true.

And his son ended up going to private schools and being a man at sorry school, putting up buckets, 40 and 50 a game. Loki took our blueprint. You know what I'm saying? And all of us. Yeah, yeah. I feel like everybody took our blueprint.

Bro, you feel me? But like, you know, and shout out to bro. Elijah going to be, you know what I'm saying? Top pick, top five for sure. But even Nate Robinson. How about the situation? Start with Nick Robertson and Scott Wood and IM had 50 on TV. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. So Nate Robinson, you know, just to bring up why, like, you know, just a couple of conversations from NBA players that were on dick, like, beyond dick and then acting like the Internet, you know what I'm saying? So I'm in, uh, sophomore year or junior year, that doesn't matter. We go play IMG, which is the best team in the nation at the time. They won the guy co-nationals at the time.

I mean, they still do every year probably, but this is where they're paying high school kids and not saying it at the time. You know what I'm saying? And they had multiple kids that are the NBA today on this one team. Nate Robinson was commentating this game. It was a gator. It was a national game on T, like on a live stream by Gatorade. that Nate Robinson was commentating.

And I had like 40 that game. 40 that game, literally, bro. And, you know, he got nothing, but great to say about me, you know what I'm saying? We chop it up before, top it up after, hell of fan. My whole family, fan of my dad because of the daddy is, you know what I'm saying? And all this type, all great things. You know what I'm telling me why sister needs to add to her game and she needs to be more like me. You know what I'm saying?

Stuff like that. And he even tell me, hey, bro, you have 40, but you could have 60 if you did this. Imagine that? I guess the number one team in the nation he's telling me that, Nate Robinson. And then years go by, years go by this nigga hanging. Crazily hating. Like, oh, I don't even know.

I can't remember the stuff he's saying. But I'm like, he would comment on like a post of me working out talking about, oh, that's a tribal. That's a carry. Nick, in ice school, you was, tell me that's a nice move. So like, he cloud chasing. He was cloud chasing his shit. I'll respect to bro because he needed, what was it,

Kenny and shit, he got it. You know what I'm saying? Thank God. I'm saying. I wish bad on nobody like that. But I brought him up to say, niggas of real power was stopping things and making people believe certain narratives. And he's a joke.

He's playing against, oh, he had 40. Yeah, but what, nigga? He had 40 against IMG with, oh, but he had no teammates. Like I said, his son today literally has 40 and 50. And his dad preaches on his podcast, I did that so he can do everything. He got to play defense. He got to do this. He got to do that.

Exactly. You know what I'm saying? So, but to say... You're saying you walk so the niggas can run. Yeah, bro. And also, that's a reason why, like, the NBA was like, you know, like that as well. You got real niggas saying, like, I'm a joke or whatever. Or acting like this ain't real.

Like, when you... It's right in front of your face. You can't fake this footage. AI just came real now. AI wasn't back then, bro. You can't make me making a jumper back then, bro. It was realistic back then. So, I don't know.

Yeah, but I like to say, like, you know, real niggas give me the respect and like Gilbert I appreciate that for sure that he ain't have to go on his podcast and say I was wrong for that when he was a kid and yeah even Matt Barnes

bro I appreciate you bringing that up this is all the shit I get to say Matt Barnes so I was a young kid we had to show and everything I was probably 16 at the time we had to go

you might have been at this event I only say that because it was in L.A everybody was there YG Snoop Dog it was it was Cuevo's basketball event right

I remember hearing about that it was Quaywell All-American Was it in a convention? Yes yeah I believe so It was the Mamba facility But it's huge facility though So you could think it's a convention But yeah but everybody was there

But I said to say That's where I met Matt Barnes And he was with Chris Paul's sons And also as well as his sons He come up to me saying My kids watch you every day And you're on my screen every day They want to be like you this and that

And Chris Paul signs as well. You take a picture with them, please. Like, I'm giving them prodigy gear, which is our brand, giving them stuff at the time. I mean, like, they were like, you know, how they go crazy for Mr. Beasts and shit. That's how they was going for me. For real. Like Chris Paul's sons, bro. And Matt Brown's sons.

All over. Yeah. TV was still TV. Yeah. Exactly. And then Matt Barnes, you know, he showed my dad, respected time. Show all his respect. And then years go, bye.

Bro, he, what's his call? His co-host going to comment on. on one of my posts, Stephen Jackson, going to comment on it. It was like, you know, I'll be throwing in and saying, hey, that's one who would dribble like me. And he was in it.

He got something to say about my pops and talking shit and saying like, oh, this is why a nigga, what are you talking about? Like, what you don't got a dad or something? They tried to use the yo-yo pops held you back. Yeah. Exactly. They tried to like, that's what makes me mad

when you try to play my pops because a nigga, play me. You know what I'm saying? Like, if anything, that niggas, he's doing what a lot of niggas can't do and just be there for one. You know what I'm saying? That's for one. But, yeah, bro.

The worldly world. Now, you were talking about the Matt Barnes shit. Yes. So Matt Barre, yeah. So Steve Stephen Jackson comments on the thing talking. I just comment back saying, like, facts. Giving him facts, saying this and that. What I've done and why you got to say this?

Why you got to say that? Just correcting his talk. And then I hit up Matt Burr. Barnes or something to do on his podcast and they just be like to explain myself and he'd just be talking shit. Playing me, bro. That one. Playing me.

Like, not acting like Matt Barnes and his, and the whole thing he got going wasn't like, you know, wasn't molded by like what me and my dad had gone or like, you know what I'm saying? To even like. Yeah. Like, yeah. And I say all that to say like, bro, like they're being like hell of disrespectful nowadays. You know what I'm saying?

Like hell of disrespectful like as if they weren't sucking. dick like years ago. Like respectfully I say that. You feel like now you feel me. Now that not the train has not stopped but it's not the same because I feel like the same thing. When I'm doing all these millions of views, y'all love me. But once it's slow up, I'm still the same.

I'm still putting in the same work. Yeah, exactly. It just slowed up. Shit happens. You have your lows and your values. You have your eyes. These things happen. It varies.

You be up. You be down. You be back up. You be in the middle. These things happen. But they treat you different through every level. It's showing me that people of power. people of power got like

Matt Barnes and shit went even around with cloud and shit so I don't know why they act like this like you know what I'm saying like I don't know why the older niggas act like that like it's the money train now I get it he does podcast he on YouTube now that's why

they they're gonna ride nicks dick who let who whatever whatever but like I guarantee you like what I'm saying when I'm back where whatever at their level of fame or whatever of basketball accomplishments when I'm there and they're gonna be

back, oh, I was always, I was always ruling for Julian, I was always, nah, bro. Nah, there's only, a lot of people root for me, but it'd be behind closed doors, for show. Like, Guilt, Guilter isn't had no reason to say that at this time. That's so he a real nigga. Like, Gilbert Wrenner, he's a real dude, for sure.

That's all his shows, because why, he ain't gained no clout for doing that. You feel me? Yeah, no, no, no. I appreciate that, for sure. I feel that, for sure. Speaking of all these NBA niggas, if you could hoop anybody in the NBA player, If Dukkah Hooper, anybody in NBA, past the present, who would it be?

And why? Pass a present? Great question, man. I say Kyrie Irving. Yeah, just because he, like, he's a magician with the basketball, bro. Like, you know, the way to finish the basketball, you know, how, like, it should attach to his body, you feel me? You feel like your model game after? Yeah.

I feel like, oh, I'm out of my game after, like, a couple people, like, combine, you for me. That's why I try to do, Damien, Leather, stuff, you know, all together. but I feel like when it comes to handling, I definitely, you know, took after him for way more than any other, for show. And I say him because his craftiness, he think different.

He thinks basketball different. I like that, you know. When I was young, I used to sit there and we're not on the basketball floor. As being my friends at a little, like, a class party or something, think about what move will work. That's type of shit Kyrie will be on. He'd be like, man, I think this is in and out,

has he spin will work on you. Let me try it. Like, that's the type of shit he has conversations about. Like that's the type of conversations I would have would do. That's lit. You know what I mean? I feel like. Yeah.

If you had one moment to pick in your basketball career, I should never forget what would it be. Dang, there's so many great moments, though. That's like, I hate that. I always pick one. It's always different. But, uh, man, I'm so appreciative of all moments. You know what I'm saying?

But I say, uh, I say probably one of the local teams, man. Obviously when I'm, uh, you know, putting up numbers against IMG and shit, like that. That was memorable and things like that. That was cool when I scored 40 in front of Nate Robinson. That was definitely a memorable moment, you know, him telling me I keep going. I'm going to the league and add this to your game. You could add 60.

Like, hearing that is ridiculous. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's real motivation. That's why I appreciate him. I'm going to come up. I appreciate them talks. Wait, what you, when I ain't making to the league yet, now you got to bash me? But yeah, no, that's, yeah, bro.

What's your favorite sneaker to hoop in? Right now, GT cuts, but all-time Kobe's. It's called Nike GT cuts. People wearing the league sometimes, for real. But Kobe's, Kobe's is straight. Kobe's. Yeah, yeah. What's one message to leave with everybody watching right now?

Man, you know, I appreciate everybody tuning in, man. You know, for all these years, you know, whether you hate in or supporting, you know, I appreciate it. You know what I'm saying? You're the reason why I'm paid. You're the reason why I'm known. You're the reason, you know what I'm still relevant. So I keep doing what you doing. What's you got next?

What do you got coming next? What's it called? Staying ready, you know, playing college ball next year. Through the summer, got some things going, be playing TBT basketball, you know, pushing our brands, brand prodigy. I'll be starting my, I'm starting to design a brand, trust none. I started in 2021, but, you know, about to push it this year. You know, I started it back in the day. You could tell what type of mindset I was in, trust none.

You know what I'm saying? Hain everybody, shit. But not really, yeah, man, just staying at gym, you know, give people what they want, man, you know? I'm saying? It's more than for me, man. I want to inspire. Like I said, let the young, small kids know that they can do things that people say they

can't. And whether you could be tall as shit, say you can't do something small. You know what I'm saying? Like, whatever it is, I'm just saying, for the people that feel like, for the people that feel like they're their set of the ceiling, bro, you can say fuck that ceiling, bro, and go way higher for sure. I feel that, I'm for that, man.

Tell other people where they can find you at on all the social. Yeah, man, you can find me on YouTube, man. Junior Noom official, Instagram, Julian No. No 4. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty much what I'm all, man. Hell yeah, man. I'm your good old host, Almighty. You feel like, there's no jumper, man. And we're up out of here. No cap.

Sir, my boy.
