Hanging with Mr. Cooper.
Hanging with Mr. Cooper.

Hey, man, we got Marky.
It's the O-D, man.
No.
Hey, man, first of all, you, you're one of those guys, man.
You're a legend of us, man.
Because we grew up watching.
Most different.
You had a dope-ass show at the height of black TV, man.
That's up.
Come on, come on.
I appreciate that.
On the O-Ds and sitcoms, man.
Brian, you was out there really wrecking them stages,
but then you was really, like,
like going to work
and doing the whole, you know what I'm saying?
The whole character and shit. People really thought
that was you, and shit. Yeah, they really did.
First of all, it's a pleasure
to be with you two.
Oh, I love. You appreciate that. They fire right here.
Work with these two is like
Red Bull and
you guys are fired. You wanted to say
that. Work with you guys.
You know, I've been in the game a long
time. There's any of any guys
come up with, you know, with this fire.
Right. I appreciate it.
Fire.
Appreciate that, man.
I just want to let you know that.
You guys got some bit snacks.
Every day they gave me, it was unhealthy.
Yeah.
I had so much, I'm ready to go.
I had corn puffs, corn cacos.
That's good.
That's how we're living up here, man.
You could always judge a place by the snacks.
Right, right.
Yeah, in the abundance of.
I like how they brought the snacks out in the box.
Yeah, like it was a big reveal.
No one of playing freedom.
I'm like, niggins.
Did you get this from a nursing home?
Plain free, though?
This is stank.
That's the black production.
All the good shit was gone first.
Yeah, exactly.
They got cheeses.
This is an after-school program.
Man, I got a million and one questions, man.
But it's like, how did, first of all, tell me how do you came about, like, getting your whole show?
How did you get the process started?
Where you start comedy at, like, who you start with?
All that.
shit.
I always do the funny guy.
I'm getting the show.
I did
I get the show.
I can't remember now.
I do HBO special first.
I think I did HBO special.
Yeah, it did HBO special.
I was on tour with HBO Saw Me.
So they gave me HBO special.
I did my special.
Once I did that special, me and Martin
get our specials together.
Yeah.
We went back and forth
for Chicago.
I had Line 1,
then he had Headline 1.
And so we did our special.
So once I did that special,
it let the world,
I guess,
Hollywood see who I was.
And so I had,
I had,
they offered me
sitcom.
I had a living color.
I could have did it
in living color.
I had a contract.
living color
hanging Mr. Cooper
and I already was hosting
Showtime at the Apollo
Hell you
Right right at the time
At the height of this shit too
We were the first ones to take the cameras
Showtime
Take the cameras outside in Harlem
Because if the people were standing in line
I said let's take some cameras outside
And you know
Anywhere at that time
So they offered me the sitcom
And
And I said yeah
Let's do it
this. Let's, you know, I didn't even know what I was doing. So we did our sitcom on the set
of Alan Thick's show, Growing Pains. Right. They really didn't, they didn't, they didn't believe
if, I didn't even have all my own set. Just give him that set right there. Put him in a
set, yeah. You know, really, they didn't even change the people's picture.
Hey, Sean, if you look at the, first Mr. Cooper episode, Alan Thick family is in the back.
That's true.
That's true.
Somebody going to get on Hulu and be like, he's right?
Game real.
Not my game, always real.
If it's the only pilot, it was the pilot, so he just shot a pilot.
He's coming in, just shoot the pilot, give him the script, let's see what this does here.
We're not going to build nothing.
I even wore my own clothes.
But six-foot-six dude, could you bring a couple of pieces, a couple of changes?
So I wore my own clothes to the first Mr. Cooper.
Damn.
My own clothes.
So you said they offered you two shows
so Mr. Cooper was written up
and Living Color was already going on.
Yeah, Living Color was already going on.
Right.
And, um...
Well, HBO came with a sweet-ass deal.
Yes, they did, but...
With some shit like that on the table?
Now, look, you got to pick one.
Right.
Living Color or some...
But the...
That was...
That was ABC.
It was ABC TV and Fox TV.
And that was...
It was all different networks.
Man.
But Mr. Cooper wasn't a show then until you got on it, though.
What you mean?
It wasn't a show until you got on it.
Like, you started the whole Mr. Cooper.
Yeah, yeah.
It was my show.
Right.
Oh, so it was either Living Color or your own shit.
No, well, I could have done, I was on tour with Damon Wayans.
Oh, shit.
And he was a master, you know, one of the best I've seen.
Salute OG too, then.
Yeah, he's a super OG.
And we did a show at the podcast.
Apollo, and HBO was there, all the big people, was Eddie Murphy was there, everybody was, everybody was there.
And they all saw me.
So they were like, who is this dude?
And, you know, I remember I went home the next two days later, they called me, gave me HBO special, which at the time was like, what?
Right, right.
Then they all of me.
Then ABC, we took meetings, you know, we took meetings to go, you know, what you're talking about, what you're talking about, what you're talking about.
And so this came about ABC.
That's hard.
They ain't doing it like that no more.
That's a sweet-ass lick right there.
You let you know, and that pilot went to air.
That's the only pilot that went to air.
It's a pilot.
That shit went straight down.
It wasn't, if you look, it wasn't even my set.
It was a different set.
I got to go look that shit up.
Yeah, you got to watch Raven Simone grow up on this show.
How many seasons did y'all do?
Yeah, we did five syndication. Reminder.
Talk your shit!
He used to be crazy. I'm still getting it.
That boy, that thank you for you.
Yeah, y'all did five seasons?
Five seasons. Five seasons.
And it was an incredible time, long time.
But, you know, but then I saw shows get canceled.
That made me like, you know, hey, you know,
because I think they'd cancel a blossom or something.
Four seasons, she had one more season to go.
And so they were, you know, so you had to, you know, we had fun, though.
I had the greatest time in my life.
It made me an international star.
Yeah.
International.
I remember I was in Africa, and I had to, I got out the car, I was taking the leak.
You know, so I was a, Mito Kupa!
I look up way up.
Oh, my Godo, you.
And so, you know, no matter of, you know.
That was incredible.
The travel, I traveled, you know, around the world.
And that was the greatest thing.
I think it enlightened me.
That's what you guys should do.
You've got to travel everywhere.
Change their comedy, different perspective on everything.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
You know, you got to travel.
So what was your, who, like, motivated you?
Like, how you knew, like, stand-up comedy was your calling?
You know, Richard Pryor.
I had a chance to open up for Richard Pryor, 1993.
Who, shit.
A reminder, you know, I had a chance to talk to Richard Pry, to me, the greatest, of the greatest of the greatest for me.
And I still listen to his albums right now, you know.
So I got a chance to open up for him.
And he was my influence, you know.
And I knew what I wanted to do, but I never, I was scared to do it.
So, you know, I was scared to do it, you know, boy working and paying save.
That's why if you got dreams, do them, because here I am 20 years, 10, 15 years.
I could have did comedy, but I was scared to do it.
I was scared, I was scared, but at that time it wasn't a job.
You want to do comedy.
Boy, you want to do comedy.
It don't make no sense.
Right.
You want to do comedy.
Come on, we're going to do comedy.
Right.
Come on, you better get you a real job.
Right.
So I never really pursued it.
So if anybody out there got dreams, you know, don't have those deferred dreams, do it.
Go for it.
Yeah, man.
That's a dope-ass message right there.
Yeah, go for it.
Just do it.
Just think, you know.
Look at her braiding that hair.
She may not have had that dream.
Right.
She's going for it.
Yeah, she's going for it.
I can tell her.
You can tell that hair dry.
I can hear it over there pop it.
She can hear it right now.
Put a little grease.
You ain't put no grease in that for his head.
What's up on there?
I can hear it pop it.
Man, let my dog make it, man.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
He's been wearing braids ever since he got an ancestry test.
And they got them results back on, like, I know what they want.
Exactly.
I know exactly what my ancestors want.
I know.
It's like the beginning of a movie.
I know my ancestors want.
I know exactly what they want.
I'm bumbleclad Rastafarian.
I found out of Jamaica.
What is it?
See, I'm a Jamaican.
D.C. Young Fly in a brand new movie.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
You're Jamaican.
Mm-hmm.
You look Jamaican.
Bumma Claire Rastafarian.
Miss me with the fire.
I can see ya.
Democle me, ignore them.
That's all I know I've been practicing, though.
I like that.
I like it.
I'm trying to get a full sentence.
That's a good job.
Yeah.
That's a good job.
Look, you're trying to get me.
Yeah.
You're a whole...
You're a whole...
A hypocrite, democom, me ignore them.
That's it.
That's all I got.
That's good enough, tough.
Yeah, that's it.
But you got to really, you know, say it loud and mean.
The pop-and-ca-j-j-j-j-l.
It's like, clack.
You said the clack part, they're like, yeah, he really.
You say you did some traveling.
He's like, yeah, that's it.
He really, right.
What's some of your favorite places that you've traveled to?
You know, um, everywhere.
All of them.
Everywhere you ever went.
Africa.
I really like Africa.
Yeah, I got to go to Africa.
You got to go.
Africa, I think Africa was the greatest, you know,
because I saw, for one, I saw the animals up close
because I paid.
Yeah, I mean, I saw them up close, up close.
I said to the dude, I said, look, man,
don't have me sitting out here go, you know,
dry down like everybody else.
We're animals, so I gave him some money.
You remember the currency is very,
the ran is 7 to 1, so you get somebody
$100 bill.
You know, I gave my honor, I'll say,
I said, man, show me with a real animalist.
He said, oh, come back later on tonight, you know,
come back, I assure you which way.
And they said, go down this road.
And I went down that road, man, a lion walked by.
That lion was bigger than the car I was in.
And I was scared to film.
I was like, whoa!
You know, it was, you pay for that.
Yeah, pay for it.
I'm telling you, too.
Take your head down to me.
That way you want to go.
I'm going to tell me, bye-bye.
He's down there.
Yeah, I saw you
You went back and he took you or somebody else
You know, I was driving
I learned how to drive, left hand drive
I learned how to drive
I'm gathered that's at Oakland in me
I had a drive and I said
Man come on let me dry this
You know so I was like whoa whoa you know
You just can't turn that left
You know they drive like that
So Africa was beautiful
Australia
I went
Diving in the Great Bear Reef
You know
because my childhood guy used to watch
was Jacques Cousteau when I was a kid
so I wanted to do all the things
that was Great Barrier Reef
so I went, you know, underneath the Great Barrier Reef and skyd
I mean, underwater dive
I think about it now, I wouldn't do it right now
Yeah, because you're fucking killing it
I'm telling you. I wouldn't do it.
Save the planet.
Yeah, save the planet, man.
No, I was just fucking with you, but for real,
save the planet.
You know, it's a classic moment
for me, for you though, is when you
played that lieutenant
on what the Jamie Fox Show?
Jamie Fox Show. Man!
Yes.
He killed that shit.
That was one take, you guys.
One take?
Listen up OG, yeah, one take.
One take, baby.
That whole scene was one take.
No your shit.
No your shit.
What?
Yeah.
Because you can't do, you know, some of that stuff,
to me, you can't do it.
You can come in, how many times you're going to come in
and knock all this stuff on?
So you try to do it good
The first time
So, you know
Well, Jamie Foxx here, right?
Uh-huh
Well, Jamie was such a great
You know
That I could throw lives to
So I knew him
And I knew my character
My character
I listened to
I watched full metal jacket
And officer and a gentleman
For a week every day
To prepare for that brother
Uh-huh
So I was really that person
When I went on
The lot
I was that person
Uh-huh
These are stories I've never told
Tell them, tell them.
I remember the table reed, right?
It was at the table reed, the Jamie Fox Show, and Braxton, you know,
I think I said his name wrong in real life.
I didn't, he said, no, my name, I said, boom, I don't care what name you're here.
And Jamie just worked, you know, he hit the, he hit the glass and broke the glass
and ran out his laugh.
Right.
Because I was in full character.
You know, bam.
So when we did it, I was in character the whole time.
I was on his ass.
What the hell's wrong with you, boy?
You're not.
Nothing to me, look at you.
So, and I knew that whatever I said to him,
act like Prince, and he can do it.
All that's that left.
Damn.
He can do it, you know.
You know, it was about him.
You know, so.
And I just, my thing was, if I were to fail,
no matter what it happened, you add it,
and you keep going.
As long as you know the script, you know, the script.
I knew the script in and out.
So, man, well, anyway, I still, you know,
So instead of, you know, faltering and not knowing your lines.
Right.
But matter what happened.
I knew to Jamie.
I knew what the cameras were, you know, and just, you know, we did it.
Well, even when we pulled back, when I pulled back, the eyeball me bone.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
I knew Jamie was there.
I knew Jamie would do something.
And that was a classic moment when he did his eyes, you know.
So it's about knowing, knowing who the other guy is, you know, not throwing, not being,
scared not to take all the laughs, but throw your boy lives too.
You know, just a good moment.
But that was a one take.
One take.
Yeah, yeah.
One take, boy.
And an important thing about it was the first time that my father saw me perform.
Ooh, that was good.
This is his watch right here.
We're wearing Pop's watch.
So the first time Pop saw me perform was that the Jamie Fox show.
He was near.
Boy, you was good. It was good.
That was good.
That was a funny stuff.
That was pretty good.
That was the first thing before they ever had an espresso.
It was his birthday.
That show was his birthday, his present to the world.
That was my father's birthday.
And that's what I gave, you know, to the world to him.
Your entire identity has been fabricated.
Your beloved brother goes missing without a trace.
You discover the depths of your mother's illness
the way it has echoed and reverberated throughout your life,
impacting your very legacy.

Eastside Oakland, baby.
Talk your sheep.
Yep, Eastside Oakland.
You know, we represent.
Oh.
Town business.
But we, you know, that's the hood that I was born in.
And that's the hood that gave me my, you know, life.
Back then, we didn't have the internet, we had the imagination.
So that's why I came up.
I'm a hood boy and just happened to make it on television, you know.
The internet came out somebody's imagination.
With internet, we didn't have the internet.
We had the internet.
We had the imagination.
That was our internet, you know.
You know, because our toys and had no battery, so, you know, so you guys had the internet.
We didn't have the internet.
We could get up on the roof.
What you could see was the internet.
Your memory wasn't even though.
But yeah, so I'm from East Oakland, so it gave me my, it gave me, I used East Oakland, that's my, you know.
Snoppel group.
Yeah, they were really nice to my, starting in the 80s, you know.
And so, you know, and they were really nice.
You started in the 80s?
Yeah, I started the 87.
I think 82.
Too short told me 82.
I did a show, and I said, I remember that show.
I was on that show, and Too Short, I was talking to him.
He said, that was 80s, and that was 1982.
Damn.
So either I started.
When did you start?
You don't know?
I think it was 87.
It's 87.
But maybe 82.
But it might have been 82.
Yeah, I don't know if I went to the show, I was on the show.
But I remember the dude didn't pay me.
In 82?
So that's why he on.
Because you didn't get no money.
Yeah.
I didn't get paid in my career for a long time.
I worked at a drug store to keep, you know, my clothes right, to keep, you know, a car.
Because most comedians were poor, you know.
Right, right.
Just making this dude.
That's shit, bro.
I had money and I had the ability to turn down things, you know.
Fuck that shit.
Yeah, fuck that.
You know.
Really, it always was dressed nice.
I had one green suit when I hit Ella.
Like one green suit I bought at one of the stores with $99 when you get the suit, I think of the shirt and another blazer or something.
That she couldn't have been fresh.
I'm not all for $100 a lot.
Hey, but I had that green baby pressed it.
I just ain't want to say that.
I'm like, Ross, me.
They got me Mr. Cooper.
That green got me Mr. Cooper.
Talk your shit.

Once you adjust the cost of inflation, that suit.
still was about $96.
I ain't got shit on.
Nix can't steal nothing.
That niggins about the whole suit.
The shoes and everything.
You get the pants, the jacket, the shirt, the shoes.
This is a belt to be already in the place.
It might have had a belt.
It might have had a belt.
You know, if my head was a belt.
Spend us, man.
Damn, what?
Man, that's back the day.

I'm just waiting on them to say.
Now, if you go back and you watch them opening credit, when I did it like this, that's the suit.

First time I ever went to comedy,
Eddie Murphy put me up.
Because we weren't allowed to get on.
Why?
Because, I don't know.
It wasn't too many brothers on at the comedy store.
It was like, that was like the mecca.
Right, right.
You know, and Eddie Murphy saw me.

He said, come here.

You guys should do the oxen.
I'll be trying.
Nah, man.
Them titles be fucked up.
No, me.
The wife here don't want you, don't have no car.
No.
Not dead.
Not dead.
Oh, okay.
Two thousand.
Two thousand.
What is it?
What is it?
No.
Let me get the car.
You're paying cash, you'll get it cheaper.
Man, them white people, and then $4,700.
Yeah, look.
Maybe overpriced shit in that, too,
just because they want to start that 508 and a lot of it.
Well, I can't.
No, that'd be the seller who had to say,
look, I need to make at least $8,000 to $8,000, $25,000, $1,000, $1,000, $1,000, $6,000.
$6.56, $6.61, $6.61,000, $1,000, $9,800.
See, but what I mean, but when I mean,
watching them cost shows, I realized they just be pulling up in four yard.
I'm like, that shit's dangerous, bro.
You can't walk in a nigga, y'all.
You look at a hit car.
My nigga be like, why the fuck wrong with you, man?
Man, you've been on TV before you know, the goddamn well.
They ain't just walking in a nobody yard, and they come over there already mic'd up.
Hey, what's you doing that, Joe?
Hey, they've been at that man house at 7 o'clock that morning.
Right, right.
He's at 7 o'clock this morning.
Hey, man, I was just looking at your car.
Well, hell, let me talk directly in this microphone so I can tell you that's not for sale
All right, so before we shoot, we're just going to make sure, Randy, could you come out?
We're going to, the car's not for sale.
All right, let's, we're going to reset the cameras, and then we're going to flip,
and then Randy, you can come in and tell them that it is for sale, and then we can, what did you say, $4,700?
So we'll do that, and Randy's already been paid, but we need to get him paid on camera.
And that's when the white dude, Gary from accounting, he's going to come out,
he's going to bring you $47, $100
bills.
Guys, please make sure
he gets all the money.
We can't shut down
until he gets every single bill back.
All right, we're going to reset.
We're going to flip the cameras back around
so we can get Gary bringing out the money.
Come on, man.
Right, right.
That's hilarious.
All right.
All right.
That's a wrap on Gary, everybody.
All right.
Chuck going down the road.
That d'nig is stupid,
so they already mic up.
Hey!
Hey, we already have most of Gary's shots, uh, shot.
We just need you to do a couple in your stand-in, maybe two or three,
and then we can just, real rap for you the day.
I mean, what I've been watching, though? I've been watching that fast and loud later.
Yeah.
I'm like, look at the E4 street racing.
I love the car show.
I love, I love the old-school car.
I'm just not starting to learn about the motors.
I ain't on, I ain't on shit.
You pop the hood. You be like, what's in here?
I'm like, nigga.
An engine.
The fuck supposed to be in there.
A tire me.
Something?
Matching serial numbers.
Right.
Things like that.
When you're buying a car, you're going to make sure you're buying matching serial numbers,
if it's an SS, you know, you know, you gotta be the right car.
There'd be a lot of clones, you know, and shit like that.
People just make shit look like shit.
As a true collector, we're dyes.
Yeah.
What do you mean by cereal you know, though?
You're popping in the hood doing what?
Just making sure that, making sure that that's the, um,
that that's the original shit
if that's what they're telling you that you buy.
Did that engine come
with that car? Yeah, and if you look it up
it's going to have the same. All the numbers
will still be the same on that.
I mean, if you're going to get an SS, get a low-mile
model SS. But nine times out of ten,
they don't put something in that shit. Yeah.
That's why you get this Matt Cincereal
numbers you buy it from a reptable person.
Mm-hmm. But even if you're
about to take the motor eye anyway,
damn what's in it. But you don't need to take the motor
Well, you shouldn't buy some shit
Well, it's up to you
I mean, it's really your
Once you buy it is your shit
You can do whatever you want to
Because the name can come by my car
He's like man
What's a serial number?
I'm like man
You can get your bitch ass out of my yard man
He's hot out here bro
You're on the car now
You're about the part of the hood
If you're checking for serious numbers
The same
Bain your goddamn head up buddy
Definitely gonna check the serial number
You buy some shit from him
I'm too
I told him had an actual man
That'd be him
Still got the AC fit
But you can lay it out
Now you're gonna make them think
You still got the van
Because people still be hitting me
Hey man, D.C. sold the van yet
I finally got the bread up
The girl who I sold it to
She thanked me all the time
Thank you
It's the best best man ever

She probably just started
The whole business out of that damn van
Could have made the eye crew
Out of that bitch
Damn

I agree to say, but when we did the Golden State Warriors thing, that was incredible, guys.
Here I am playing for the team that I grew up, a block.

Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You know, so here I am playing for the Warriors.
So you did it before Master's piece?
Um, I think so.
Okay.
Maybe, maybe, I don't know.
So how long were you on?
Where are you?
Well, you know, for a game.
That was the last cut.
It was like a volunteer?
When I came in Spreewell,
me and Spreewell came in the same time.
That's what's up, man.
For you who don't know LaTrell Spreewell,
that's the nigga that choked the coach.
That's where he would forever be remembered as.
But he was a dog-ass player.
That nigger was a dog, but he choked the shit out there, white man.
That white man should have never played with LaTrell Spriewell.
He got his shit.
shit rock.
Hell yeah.
That was, it was an incredible one.
How that came about for you to just play?
Well, you know, on the show,
I don't know, but they don't know how.
They don't know how shit happened.
Well, because, you know, here I am an actor,
and this thing came to me.
You know, it wasn't, they didn't ask me

I'm late because they won't let me end.
Cove you, they didn't even tell you what time they were starting.

Curran, you're late on the first day?
Hey, man, fuck y'all.
I was in Cleveland this weekend.

I had six shows sold out, too.
I don't got time for all this fucking running this shit, man.
Y'all don't look at the natural talent.
When you see it?
They wouldn't let me end because they didn't know who I was.
Exactly.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

All right, I see you got here when you wanted.
Come up in top of the key.
He says it's like this.
Take this shot, top of the key.
If you miss, the whole team run, and you don't run.
And, you know, so take this shot.
If you make it, you know, it's cool.
I'm like, this is a per-in-a practice.
You're talking about as soon as they let you in the building.
You're late, and you got to shoot.
I go get taped up and I walk in, you know, you know, do they talking.
Oh, look at this.
It's true.
I walk in, bam.
He gives me this proposition.
Shoot from the top of the key if you miss it.
And all the players are like, man, you better not miss it, home boy.
I was the first time ever even seeing these dudes.
Dang.
So boom.

Reminded it, I made it.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.

He woke up with Eddie.
Hey Mark, man.

Are you fucking serious, Mark?
I'm about here with mother right now.
Look, do you want me to take you off the fly?
No, hold on, hold on, man, let me see.
Let me see what we do against the Bulls.
That's the truth.
If you imagine calling your agent as a comedian,
hey man, hold my dates.
I think they're fair and letting me go.
I think I'll hold my dates.
No, we got three more home games.
We got Chicago, Utah.
We got to play, fucking, got to play Indiana.
You know, my date?
When I did it, I didn't look at it like that.
I really didn't realize about it going.
He said, I hope I date.
I see they're going to let me go.
And the funny thing about it, people, when he's talking about,
happened.
That was it.
And you know, promoters didn't want to hear that shit.
So, so you, y'all still coming in town, right?
What's happened to game?
Because we can do a daytime show.
Oh, y'all play at 2 o'clock.
You want to try to do something at 11?

How about this?
How about we do a 10 o'clock brooks?
Yeah, too.
The doors open at 8 o'clock.
Yeah, everybody who got their ticket, we just changed that.
You ain't got to buy no new ticket like that.
Damn, man.
Y'all niggins got...
I never looked at that perspective.
Y'all think you get to...
See, that's the height of the comedy game, man.
And, like, that type of shit is gone.
We ain't never going to get the...
So I already keep you, though, would you?
It was for one game?
That was one game.
It was just like a experience.
I scored on Charles Barkley, so...

At least I could say I scored.

and, man, I missed everything.
I was nervous.
Charles Barkley going to see this.
And it was like,
Nick, I was walking off the boy.
See, what I remember

I heard Mark Kerr on some 85 show show show show show show show show.
They were like, what the fuck he did that say?

So when they say
we don't need you tomorrow, you're like,
damn, what the fucking, what y'all bring me here for?
Well, no, I mean, you know,
I knew, you know,
that wasn't an NBA player.
First time I ran down the court with the guys,

Exactly.
So big and so, I mean,
Tyrone Hill, I went up for a layup,
he took my, boom,
threw my thing to the,
made, 10th row or something.
Shit.
And these dudes, they were incredible.
Respect that game.

So it was so fast.
First time I played in the NBA,
I thought I pulled the muscle.
I was like,
I didn't want to come out.

Then I let the funny bomb

Yeah, you're right.
Make that...
