Media day. You know what I'm saying. NBA is officially back. Just kicked off this week.
I was just looking at random SATs and stuff, and you know what's crazy, this is year seventeen for KD. Like as much as we talk about how many years Lebron has been the league, Brokadie, year seventeen and still being elited.
It should be talked about a lot more. I told her I paid for.
Did you no? That's apply?
Hey, Honestly he started off with rap some on one off. As soon as I seen.
Miss your legacy, this niggas about paying for the Coachy room.

I just say, I just kind of killed that ship told paying for a year sevent Imagine you said, he shout out to k what I said, year seventeen. Yeah, that's a that's a lot of buckets, bro, it's a lot of years to be doing. We've been doing for long.
Anyboy in that draft still in the league today.
Ship, that is a good question, West Broke.
He went in that draft.
It was a year after year sixteen, Year sixteen, K is seventeen, K year seventeen eighteen, Mike, Mike Coley and that for seventeen.
Damn damn out to Mike, you go o k D.
It's nineteen for Chris Paul.
Got repeat and about to get a twenty plus. It's dope, bro, and some of the footage they've been show.
I mean, we'll talk about it more of the Spurs camp like what I'm saying, Like we said that the perfect person to be with me, But damn, nineteen twenty that's crazy.
Niggas been the league though he.
On't six foot guard playing twenty years him and Mike playing that long at that size on the rim.
Bro, Man, that's that's special.
It's still effective and still putting input on the game for sure. I wanted to ask out this while we just looking at random ship and what year do you think Victor will Is gonna get his first run? Because I don't think it's gonna be an if with him. I think it's just winning.
I ain't know he's gonna he got about a year seven eight.
I'm probably taking two blue choes.
Bro, A gonna lie you got about seven eight, Bro, that's over with what we don't think the two blue chooses crazy double coping. That as nuts, But damn.
Y'all think y'all don't think when we're gonna get.
It, man, no time.
So that's around and cast that motherfucker week obviously, you know that's gonna change. That's why I said I give it maybe five year seven for him. Bro, you think he's gonna get winning year five? I think we're five at the latest. Who who who they got over there? Bro?
Going there, That's what I'm saying. Bro.
If they don't put him around nobody bro by that time period. But they're wasting him because by years by then, Bro, he's gonna be unstoppable. Bro, he's never gonna be a short thing away. CP only went there because he said he wanted to play still.
For sure, hes gonna be unstoppable this year. But taking that nigga to the ship, well, how the league is getting with these teams? Bro? Absolutely not, absolutely not.
Bro, You're gonna have to I'll stand on that lege.
Man.
I think by year six he's gonna have to ring.
They're gonna have to go get I don't even know who's gonna be available about that time. But you don't think it'd being the league. I mean, we ain't know some serious You don't think the league would want that? They don't think they want him to be Yeah, they do, Bro s Antonio. Yeah, that's the statement, like it's quiet bro there. Yeah, he asked for a lot, Bro, I think that Nigga about to really dominate. I think he about to fuck the league up for sure. I think he is too. I thank you, Carol. I think he got a chance on this year. To be honest, he's gonna kill Quiet for the Ship can win mv P this year because he's on average twenty plus team rebounds, probably five blocks.
M v P. They gotta be like top four, and I think the.
Spurs ain't gonna be top four, but I think they're gonna make the player for sure, not top four. I think they don't make the playoffs though, if they get to the seventh, sixth or seventh seed in the West, he might win MVP if they rosters ass.
But you know how mad Niggas will be a seventh c v P.
It ain't no denying it. You can't deny it what he was on a Thursday. Bo, he get a seventh, seventh c v P. It's crazy because he's gonna have to be doing some extreme ship every single game to make them win. Bro, they roster is pool and I ain't trying to discredit. None of the players better than me, but that roster compared to other teams rosters.
All right, that's what we're doing.
Hey, man, at that organization, I'm putting nothing competent behind him in the first couple of years.
Free him.
That's crazy when your second player is I'll see people almost forty. When your second best player is almost forty and your point guard, you ain't gonna.
Have you in trouble and see a legend.
He can go.
He all star, Hall of Famer, all that, but it's a lot of pressure to put on them. So for him to get them to the playoffs, you know he was special.
M hm do that ship?
He gets my vote. Hej jumped out with that one. I did.
I think he's about to really like take like the Bill outside sh over there, the real.
Didn't just all right, I start west Side, don't do it, bro.
I lost my dog so that in man, he got it. It's crazy, man. Obviously we've seen the Lakers ship.
I thought it was very fire to see bron and Bronney on stage like that, especially when they had the different camera angles at Bosten, New Jersey's like their names. That as far as fucks to me, the James and James ship, that's he man, I fuck with that moment. Even though it really don't feel like a lot of ways to other people. I fuck with that that nigga got. He accomplished everything he couldn't lead. I fuck with Broun. I fucked with the whole only thing I didn't feel I was, like he said when he was like five year fire, five years old, he's seen the nigga and was like, yeah, he going to the league. Like stop, I love y'all to death. Bro, I love your whole family, but bro, it's not good unless we get a good lebron.
What made what made that official for me? That statement? It's his son looking like oh ship.

They had that was in Chicago when they yeah, I mean not a big job, but yeah they had John too, But that was later on they had that was like seventh grade when he started starting a little notice. Yeah, now when he got the seventh eighth grade, all right, now, he would have said his June. If he would have been like seventh eighth grade, I've seen it, I would have been like, Okay, I feel that I feel but fifth like fire years.

And Nigga never said that he can fuck with you on the football because I don't don't don't move the gold post fuck with d Jack. D jackas motherfucking legend in the NFL show. But niggas would just be getting out of pocket and getting sideways on this ship because he was out of pocket. And that all the niggas names you could call, You're gonna call it nigga, you know, but it makes sense.
They didn't make me mad that it made me laugh because the nigga sai, let's do it for content. That's when I was like, ah, do it for content.

It was just when he just used you as an example why he could play minutes in the NBA. Yeah, I'm sleep That's what I had me ted. I'm like, bro, yeah you get out of pocket.
Yeah, I'm probably not the best example for that. Shout out to my nigga little make it look like I ain't care, But niggas knew like I ain't doing that. That's why when I seen the highlight of North Carolina, like, nigga, you wouldn't have score of ten on North Carolina.

What was your like best college game of your favorite college game? Uh, that was a cool game because of so many pros. Was on that team, Ed, David Tie, wayneer, Bro, Danny Green, they had I think uh Tyler Zeller was on the bench.
I think he was bro.
They had a bunch of pros on that team, so that was cool to play against them. But my my favorite game was probably Duke. My freshman year. We played Duke. They was number one in the country and we uh we were sad. We weren't sad, but we were ranked and we ended up beating them, and me and James both at twenty six. Damn I beat them at wait a wait and they rushed the floor. Sh That was like the first time that we got like some real recognition.
Oh yeah, that was that was hard. My nigga, James was motherfucking issue boy. Yeah, but that Duke team was nasty. Nolan the nigga. I really cal Cayle Singer is one of the greatest college basketball players I've seen, one hundred percent.
Unfortunately, I can take that testimony because what he did to us.
That at me, you know what I mean? Even when Bro killed U n c Wayne Ellington, was that nigga in college?
Bro, it's nice too, you want to Yeah, it was nice. That's what they were saying. They was just like, man, we lost that game, but I'm happy that season win any other way.
Dah.
Yeah, it was That year was a good year. I had a bunch of thirty point games that year. He played Jimmy for dead. He gave us thirty, but I had thirty.
And see niggas, That's what I'm saying, how this podcast, that's how crazy is this. Niggas really don't be tapped in the hoops. You don't talk about yourself. I get that, But the nigga. The a CC was tough, Bro cold, it was crazy. So you wasn't playing more fucking Shout out to niggas in the smaller conferences and ship but that was a big deal. The a CC was in the Big East, was the ship back when he was growing up.
That was some ship. But I ain't gonna lie her game. We played a program there. Somebody was going to the league, even like Virginia Tech. They beat us when we was number one of the country to have Malcolm Delaney. Yeah, yeah, that niggas talk ship to a shot at him though he could hoop, but it was about it.
He killed y'all.
I'm rogers had an attitude that game.
I think I still twenty seven or something like that, but damn now, I just had a because one time, like I wasn't shooting that game.
They thought it was point shaving. So I got called in the office for point shaping. Niggas called you blue chips because you went shoot the ball.
Yeah.
Our team was crazy, so we know, you know, we just be having attitudes people said I was. I was like on this thirty point run. I was getting thirty like every game, and I started getting segments where it was like Jeff t like on ESPN, it just be my name, like they was like Scott van Pelt, I'll never forget. Was like, this kid is crazy, Like you know what I mean. I was killing niggas went fucking with that ship.
Niggas like, you know what I mean.
The team niggas was with that came win thatigg they were fucking with that. I was like ship, so I just stopped shooting. You see how the temptation street to David Russells.
Yeah, and y'all know I wasn't one of them niggas that wanted to beat us.
I was just doing me.
I ain't really want that. I wanted to win and I wanted the guys like I wasn't thinking about the NBA. So it just became a thing and niggas was just they was off that.
That's when the team in chemistry just went downhill. Niggas was not trying to hop on that team. What about me?
It was crazy because that game shout to my nigga, Harvey, I had started hooping. I started playing nigga. We had a break and it was like he could have gave a ball to mir or James or something. This is how I knew our team was just getting sucked up. And he kept and got charged, like to decide the game, the ball gotta charge. And that's what it just with down hill.
It was just a bad day. Got a cracking bro paster that game was over. Bro, he just was sad. We was like nineteen or oh yeah, I was killing sum. It all makes sense.
Ship. Tell you how important that team locker room is, Bro, that ship matters.
I can't wait we had here we talk about that. Well, that ship was so funny, and we don't get James on this year.
He's doing enough for this podcast in a thirty minutes span anybody other guess is at in fact, what's so funny?
Though?
I laugh at the highlights of the USC because they were playing like LD like Trailing Hell, looking like.
JA and now it's a point guard. It's like older I was.
That's why I wanted to talk about that too, because as a point guard, when I got older, I realized, like what kind of player I was. I was fucked up, Like it's a lot of times like I could have threw lives to Alpha Rule, threw it behind me, they would have got a dunk and it probably would have rose the team chemistry. But I was such a score at that time that like I think, when I seen a bucket, I got a bucket. So when I get to the league, That's why I tell you, like, if you get handled the balls soon as you come in the league and people's careers could be different because I was such a bucket getter. If somebody would have gave me the ball as soon as I came from Raake Forest, I probably would have averaged eighteen or twenty points, you know what I mean as a rookie, because my mindset was so like that. But to get on the floor in the NBA, they tell me how to play defensive, run to the corner, and I just wanted to play. So after a while you kind of lose that. You just do whatever you can to stay on the floor, and you lose that killer instinct because Nigga I was in college. Oh my god. Yeah, I try to score on anybody. I thought I was the best scorer in the world. Like when I first got to the league, I used to play this shit is so easy wood he killed me.
You weren't blessed like dang nah, none of them, like you.
Said, the new guards, they get the keys to the kingdom now. Yeah, yeah, for sure, it's your drop the fuck up for three years.
Yeah for sure. I wish I would have had that opportunity with that mindset, Like I mean my NBA.
Yeah, you had a great career for short, bro, But sure you would be a different nigga.
If they would have gave me the ball and let me say, look, just do do what you did, Max deal tig man. What because I I didn't even have a conscience. Bro y'all said, I was pulling threes on fast break. That ship was so funny because I was like, I ain't even no, no, I was pulling the threes on I had. I didn't have a conscience. Say when you shot that nothing. I used to make it all the time, like forty something from three fifty from the field. I used to have really miss. My confidence was so high. But when you got to the league, what he just took all that shit like.
Transition. Well, bro, I'm sure that was hard for you to do it, but shit, niggas ain't able to do that shit.
I I was like, this ship is ass nigga right to the corner passing the ball.
And then when they said you can get this amount of money if you do this, that's what fucked me up, Like it was all you all we need you to do is average this and this and you can get that. And then I started playing the numbers game. It wasn't more like the love I want to kill. It was like they said fourteen and five fourteen I got fourteen five?
We won, you know what I mean? Instead like, but that's the kind of you know, you had all the people on our team. It's cool.
It made it work.
Whatever, Sure, hell of a break down the basketball. Let niggas know they can't play with your night man, get well soon.
Big picture of this is, don't bet in two thousand and eight, in two thousand and nine, if you're a point guard, don't great.
If you got some more killers on your team, let the killers eat man. Not finishing three on one by yourself, bro.
Absolutely, if you are l d or Harvey nigga on team.
Fun man, that was what it was so crazy, like you can team it's full stride and look I did a. I did a double clutch lay up one time, a difficult ass layup.
I could have just laid it off to a nigga.
I did a.
That's how it's like, yeah, held them. Oh I should have been a better tea. I wouldn't. I wasn't a point guard. It was it was the point guard I was. It was Yeah, I was the two they told me shout for whole ship. Damn man, be in that solid locker room. Martin Luther King in the lock would do that live. They told me, get buckets man, it's a good nigga. Like you said in North scot I wasn't even talking about throwing. I put a shot that lay facts. So I had to ask this who. We had a project Pack conversation a couple. You know what I'm saying, episodes back, y'all out of pocket. My boy just got our dag. He's an official minister, now, you know what I'm saying. Be here he looking for a church drummer. You pull up for sure.
You know.
I'm big on project pat you know what I mean, Like, Nah, we're gonna do it. Because you get cleaned up, you're able to do it. Bro, It's okay, Bro. He's probably gonna slow walk him into church. He ain't getting up there and getting the clowning, you know what I mean, He ain't got that tail yet.
So but if he just walk, if he decides on Sunday morning that he wants, you know what I'm saying, have cheese discernment, then I'm in.
I'm going to transfer portal churches.
And I think he's more like to me, preachers are supposed to be for real motivational speakers. He didn't been through so much, bro. I feel like he's the my face talking this and that. Yeah, how to handle holds everything, bro.
Clean, But.
They got no deep issue you had calling chicks.
They just don't know what you're talking about it.
I got a back and forth conversation with a lady on the song and it's a bot Oh god hard, you know what I mean? So shouts the project man. Slow walk into that ministry. Bro, that's tough. You entered in a different lane, my boy, they can walk in clean bro. A J.
Griffin Yeah, A J. Griffin said, we didn't know why he was that boy from basketball lady. You know what I'm saying.
Thank God. I thought it was some hell shit. That's cool.
Yeah, yeah, the temptation of that life. He wasn't feeling it, and he was like, you want to be with God boy. I respect that, Like you said, I obviously as when we see stuff like that we think watchcare scenario unfortunately, but I was relieved, you know what I'm saying, that reason rather than something else. So yeah, I mean my thing was like, I mean, if he wanted to go be a pastor or whatever. But my thing was like, damn, you can still have that kind of faith and do all that and still play basketball.
Yeah what said he was here in Atlanta. My boy said he couldn't win that battle.
Bro. He could have, though, I mean, ain't strong enough.
Bro.
I think I think it's a culture thing. I think because it's expectations. When you black and you play basketball, people will assume that you're gonna live this kind of lifestyle because none of our white counterparts that who nobody say that about them like they live bit easy going out. Watched Kyle Korver go to church, read his bible, do all that stuff and just be solid.
Fair to what you're saying though, bro, but everybody discipline is different though.
No, I'm not saying ain't. But if you want to be a pastor, you got some discipline, mo. Man, Like it's Mark Jackson said, I don't want to go that route. Yeah, but what I'm saying it just it just depends, though, Bro. I'm not just because you want to be a pastor because a lot of them motherfuckers is filthy. A lot of these niggas is counting. That's that's my that's my whole point, just because you're going in there. But I think people forget the sport of basketball. You still, this is a sport you're able to do some of you love. I ain't saying that you can't. You don't be a pastor and do that. It's just a sport. People put the other stuff on it.
Like most of them probably was hooping, Bro, you good, what position most power for?
He said?
Good picks?
Motherfucker screen and wrong.
He said.
He definitely said the good screen. You're me so and I agree with Jeff, I mean, you can't.
But he was probably like, this ship too much. I gotta step away because what comes with being a professional athlete living in the land.
He probably like, damn no, I get it. I understand the temptation. It got me a couple of times. But what I'm saying is like, if you're going to be a pastor, you're discipline gonna be different anyway, you know what I mean. And if you're really good at playing basketball and something you truly enjoy. I'm sure he truly enjoys sooping. I'm sure he's probably still gonna hoop and rec leagues or whatever. But like, damn, don't give up the dream like and you can still do both. I feel like you could have.
Did both, and you're a decent player, bro.
Ship, But ain't no telling them. He might need to step away from some time to get that in order.
Then he might come back. Like you said, you're thinking when you step away.
So gona be with the lord. Bro what John Morn says, stay over there?
You coming like?
No, like Jesus, you know, I'm a man. I'm just saying, friend stepped it, Bro, stay over there. Shout to John Ray.
My boy had to go.
It's up Griffin, ain't Jordan. Bro, you can't leave and come back. Bro, figure out if that really was for you.
Man, you can't make that thing that's over with, not in the league, you can't make it. Bro.
Damn man, that's crazy to get Wilson with a j man. Listen, man, we love y'all about to get up out of here and be here. Tell people the grass some march at shop Club five twenty dot com. Baby, we out of here. The volume
