Because of him, he started wearing them ships and obvious seeing people around the city with white laces and they black force.
He starts this, We get tacking out every day. This ship is a thing. I can fun with that part. You're starting to move.

Switch the style up. That's all right, switch it up.
So what year was this?
This was two thousand and one? How thirty six it been on that I was doing this in middle school. But anyway, it started because this is why I said, an accident.

So I'm gonna tell you how I met you, Well, I didn't meet you, and how I found out who you were. So we're playing in Little Rock on the Hill in Arkansas and we make it to the final four. We end up making it to the final side court. Yeah I remember that. Yeah, you should you beat It's about sixty. So we come on the court. We got a little reversible jersey. We're just starting to get our foot in the door. We indy heat, but we ain't really in the heat. And you came on the court and you was like, what who the fuck we about to play?
What the fuck is this? I'm like, who was that? They like gass Coach Conley, Coach kind of put me to sit.
That's Mike Bees. He best player in the country. I was like, fuck him. Coach consay, no, it's gonna be fuck you.

And you heard me, You like, yeah, that nigga got some big gass feet. Look at him, look dumb ass, big ass fat. I'm like.
Like like like eighteen brook crazy like my height, bro. I was like, you could never be fresh bro. Not biggest ship bro. But it was big as hell. But I can't make this ship up. That's crazy, all right, man.
That's my my bad. Though I ain't know y'all was trash. It was Jersey.
We just had a bad day. Were trash. We had a bad day. Yeah, it was just Jersey. You know what I'm saying.
I ain't gonna lie like like like we like we was that team Jerseys.
Right like, but then you know we winning a little bit a little stuff sucking with us, and then you know, I probably got to my head a little bit because then when I seen y'all with up Jerseys. I remember that ship too, because I remember we was. It was some bigge that ship. Yeah my bad. No, it's a good worked out for you though, it did it quite it didn't quite work out right here, but Speace had when Speace had any speech had my first time playing against them, Now this was some bullshit. Uh, we bring fucking Anthony McLean seven foot them, so we're like, all right, we about to play crag Olden. It's Craig Golden fucking Daykon cook Er. I think Mike Collin might might have left. Michael Jash mc grabbers was there too. Listen, listen, we bring Anthony McClean to like just just scared Greg, you know what I'm saying, and this shit working like like we're playing in pool play, Nigga, they they fuck this over this one or were playing in pool play nigga. First played the game, Nigga, our point guard, Ray Brooke, go to the fucking first two plays, he go lay that motherfucker up.
Greg Oden smacked that.
Bitch on the backboard so hard like the ball went almost with flat like and then you know started to break.
They went boom boom. So I went to Ray, I said, Ray, if you lay that like, bro, you gotta go in there and throw that motherfucker.
How brother, don't evenna get that ship right? Did that shit very next play nigga.
He smacked that ship on the backboard a cat boom, and this time it bounced like right before half like right after half court, right and I seven foot.
Of down there.
You know what I'm saying, Like our seven foot of like bro, so it bounced. I set the nigga they going to cook. Grabbed this ball.
From half court, bounce that ship. One time, I seven foot both fans.
Man. He dunked on that nigga three pointed half. The nigga arms all rocked around that nigga boom nigga, and we lost by forts the first time.
I was like, who was different? For sure? Who's different nigga? They show they but Nigga. I'm glad. I'm glad we did that to y'all. It's somebody from that.
So that was sophomore year, fresh layer Greg Golden. It was my bigger I had my sophomore sophomore ye sophomore my junior year. When I first Greg Golden nigga, that's when I first realized them like what a man was on the basketball court.
He was a month all the way come to the NBA.
Before he got into the NBA, I remember game planning him when he was in the heat and him and Joel Chris Biller.
It's like nigga. Whenever Greg Golden catch that motherfucker on the block, Nigga, I say nigga too much.
Whenever got whenever Greg Golden catch on the block, man, it was a monster. But ipped like that, I don't know how to part by the way, So you're going to.
Do a big guy.
We talked about that, how crazy that seventh class, especially Indianapolis Man, and you was at the top of that class. We always regard that is like one of the best highsal league Like that's.
What that class don't get no respect because all of us didn't hand out in the NBA how we were supposed to.
You know what I'm saying, kind of did though, because if you look at it, like James James NBA d roase.
Be's talking about, like Bill Walker, I had a crazy name, you know what I mean?
Coming up, Bill had a like Bill was one of the ones. Look at that class and for what we know it for, Yeah, that makes sense.
Eighteen year old, nineteen year old, twenty five year old couldn't get.
That same feeling looking at that same list. You know what I'm saying, No, I get what you're saying.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, just because just because we didn't really you know, and it was most of our faults, you know.
But Oj Mayo, Yeah, exactly. Bron Oj was like he dunked in the seventh grade.
We from Indiana. He was living in Kentucky. I was about that seventh grade mixtape and waking up on TV.
The best thing he was, Like, Oj was the best motherfucker I ever seen with the basketball. Like I remember, I remember my first time going out of town.
We went the Memphis MA and KD and.
We watching I ain't like, I ain't know nothing from nothing, Like I'm like, I'm for real hood nigga that just grew. And they told me to come to the gym, you know what I'm saying. So when me and KD first stopped playing together, like like, he always studied the game.
Who he was watching? Who?
Yeah, stand So I remember the first time we were in the gym and he just watching fucking oh J. And I'm just I'm just I just didn't want to be there at the time, you know, I remember I just paid attention.
They jump off. Wow, this motherfucker man that Nigga was nice.
Whatever he wanted to do, pull up left right, Duncan Spain Bro. And then he had Bill killing oh Man, crazy teammate Bro.
But yeah, that was seventh class.
It was. Yeah, I see what you just saying because Johnny Flynn in class.
Oh god, but I feel like if you make it to the league, I know, it's like like we made it. Yeah huge, he's.
Said, ya supposed to had that extendo career.
Everybody was.
We were supposed to have at least at least five of us, eight of us still playing right now.
Yeah, you know what I'm staying Like, that's what that class was.
And it was partly like a lot of us, a lot of us came up in the wrong era, Like we came up in era to where.
It was tight.
Like when I came to the league, stretched four was you Donna's hasn't fifteen, And it's like like we really needed space to work.
You know what I'm saying. We wasn't really on It won no fast break game, it was a half court game.
Eighty five point ninety point games, and like you know what I'm saying, that was one hundred and forty thirty.
Like you know, he was ahead of your time for sure.
So a lot of us came up in the wrong era, and a lot of us didn't have the coach like like, it wasn't a lot of player coaches, you know, a lot of not player coaches.
It wasn't not a new school player No, it was old school on old school coaches. So system, you know. So like my problem was my my problem.
Like the same attitude I had with Spoe my first two years is the same reasons I congratulate him in the same reasons I call him one of the best coaches.
It is because that bubble year if he didn't let them young them young guys go. You understand.
But we just came up in the era where andopose a rookie. He was a rookie coach still listening to a lot of us came up in that era to where it was the coach's way, and I understand, and we just wasn't able to.
We was one and done.
And at that time it really meant something like that that we was young. He was nineteen, it was you know, still was just babies speaking about coaches. How was it playing for Hugs? I never played for I mean not hugs. What's your kids? And state coach mar Yeah, Frank Frank like hugs, Tim Frank kick. I remember, I ain't gonna say his name because I don't want to burs him. But it was our point guard at.
The time, Jacob Pulling. You know, I'm just saying trying to but you'll had kids.
But Jake, uh Clinton Store was our starting point guard. Jake was coming off the bench for us. But I remember, uh.
Christ Chris Chase had his his family in uh in the stands, you know, so he's trying to do you know, trying to sauce it up. Ship.
Frank told him one time, like, man, we ain't doing that, dempsy do ship Man, I don't care if your family or not. Man to play, you know. So he went on ten minutes later to do some shit again. But I told you, man, you're trying to impress your family. Now you got one more time man. Twenty minutes later, Bro, next, bro, you know what?
All right?
You want to do this, you and your fucking mother, and you get the fuck out.
Of my gym. I'm kicked the whole family out. Niggut. You just do that dipsy do Ship in the Parking line. I say, God damn about that. I say, yeah, because wow, what made you pick Kansas State?
Uh?
Delanta Hill?
Okay, So when I first stopped playing with DC, so I ain't get in the game like at all.
I was playing my Jeff Green Damn No, he was playing up.
I played, you know, but I was playing.
But I was playing by some some you know, that's a notable name, Dante Knamne.
I was playing by some prospects for sure. Yeah. Yeah, So I just watched him the whole summer and.
The year was just on the vegetam you always working out with me, always getting exercise and all that. And I just told him, like, like, wherever you go to college, that's where I'm gonna go, just because we built the relationship. He got the job first at UNC Charlotte, and I ain't gonna lie. By the time he got the job, I was, I won't even think about college because like like like eighteen months later, I was no one in the country. It was NBA, So I was, I won't even think about college. But by the time he got the job, every I'm talking about nigga and my mother used to hate the letters coming to my house. And I used to hate them because the first one I opened, first one I opened, thinkers, Billy Donovan sent me a letter and that's it said, uh, Joe King noah average like zero point five points is freshman year or some ship like that, and now it was the number one pick.
Oh wow. And I looked at that letter, I said, I'm not gonna.
Calling it's crazy, yo. I mean he was at Florida, so Florida talking about Joe King ain't really playing. It's some that ain't players his freshman year. But now he's the best player in the coach. Yeah, you think I'm coming.
In or not play man. So I ain't even want to do to recoupment thing. So I just I just committed to you and c Charlotte, which was a low D one school. Yeah, I remember that. That's crazy. I was like he getting paid crazy, Nah, I ain't get paid. I just ain't want to deal with the Yeah.
I mean, now, like you understand, like them niggas, you know, the only motherfucker that was real for real was hugs.
Hugs.
Still, that's all that was your man, That's what is still a part of my family to this day.
Call like everybody you know what I'm saying, Like, you know, he's saying fives, my mom, funeral, all that type ship. But like all the rest of them niggas was just fakes, you know, and I ain't. I just ain't want to do that ship. So I committed there and I was just gonna go straight to the league. But then they changed the rule and no five, So then I had to really think about it.
Man.
Before I can even think about it, Hugs got say the K State, So I just want that, and I just ain't want like it won't no like picking that. I was really gonna go to Memphis because I found out, uh like, when Huggs left, I won't gonna go to West Virginia.
I just knew that.
Because I'm from DC un you know what I'm saying. So I was just I want to go and I don't want to be closer home. So when Hugs left, I was gonna go to Memphis because I was just it was the hoop summer. I was just down there and it just turned into an unofficial physic.
You and d rose at that. So I was gonna go to Memphis and I ain't gonna lie, swear to god. I was committing that night. But uh, Frank Malin walked in the motherfuckers.
Gangster ship, you know, set me down, talk to me in the lobby, and from all the coaches, I'm like yeah.
By the time he was leaving, I was like, fuck that, I'm trying to go child.
He let you rock too.
Boy, you you.
I ain't even saying it because you're here because I always put like middle of my favorite college perver, But like, bro, you was really dynamic.
Bro.
That ship was Frank college. Bro, It's fright, I mean it was me. That was you because I like, like I do what I do now. Like my favorite quote, the quote I lift by, is that what you do most is what you do best. You understand. So like I shopped at my ship up every day. But the older I get, the more I realize is the coach is up to the coach to put you in a position. Yeah, stand, it's up for the coach to let the players know, like.
When you're gonna shoot. Basically I'm out.
There and the players for him, and we wanted to play for him. But I see a shot, I better make that shot because you got two niggas over there. Set the down spring and then you got to understand.
You got right, you know what I'm saying.
So if if if I don't make that shot, who we got rebounded? Who we got understand? So Kansas State man, I got the coach, uh Frank. My first meeting with Frank, he said, Bro, we're gonna have practice at three o'clock. He's he's, so you want to do what if you want to do at night? Do it sleeping, go to class bright you stay out my way up and stay out. You real, That's how I went.
You know.
You told me what you're doing in the court, like whether I was rebounding, or whether I wasn't getting no blocks, or whether I wasn't scoring. Every time I was like, bro, you ain't doing this, you ain't doing that, And I just go out there and do it, you know, And that's respect that want in the NBA.
Like no coach, no coach told me what to do.
It's like I'm the best scored you ever seen, but it's like all you're gonna tell me is play defense?
Like that shit pissed me off. At one point, like my four fifth year in the league, I don't want to play no more.
To me when I seen you in college because you probably don't remember this. So I went to school in Winston. Yeah, played Winston Salem State.
Oh our dogs. No, I didn't go there, you dog. I remember you had forty twenty. I remember why? Yeah? Why?
Oh?
The first half I had like like maybe like nine points.
Yeah, And going into the half, one of one of the players blocked my shot and right like right before you passed our locker room, he's Beasley. Oh that nigga trash And I ain't hear it. But my coach came in there and was like, you know, he was brand Underwood.
He white, but he ain't white. You know what I'm saying to me exactly what he said. He's like, man, he said, I ain't. I ain't say the word, but like he said, I got some you know. So I just wanted to and I just didn't like that nigga.
Bro.
I don't I can't even remember his name, like Jamal or something. I don't know, bro, I remember his name, but I remember he said Beasley who And I was like.
Wake for it.
So when something state game is on, we just watching it. We are in the locker room. We watched it, and you know it's me James Johnson. We are freshmans like him. We like, I'm like, nah, Bro, this nigga different, Bro, Like he playing like March madness.
This ain't real, bro, go for real. The reason I was so good in college because I lived in so many ways. He was a monster.
I worked on my game, but Nigga my way. Coach Scott Green world, Bro, he had me like my match in college.
Like for on it like you trying to be a wrestler. Nigga like he was like he was. He used to train for the World's Strongest Man War. He's out of pot.
Bro. If you see him watching like he he work out every day until the earl three times, like the sickest shit you see. Like he don't stop working out every day every day until earl three times.
Bro.
He broke his neck and didn't know it.
You know what I'm saying for a week like he and working out one day so next day we can't putting it through the workout. And he just got a quickness that you know, just walking around all day with a quick but he put us through the workout, spotting us.
And all that. You know, just got a quickness.
Man.
Before the game, he asks, uh, trainer to rub it out for him, Like, yo, just see what you do.
Know what I'm saying, You can rub it out, man. He gon rub the side, then rub the side, then rub the side. And he's like, bro, where your collar boner?
You know?
Brokes collar like broken Strawn. You know what I'm saying. And I'm talking about bro he had like he like. I think that's the difference between a great player and a good player. That's a difference between Lebron and Paul Jaws. That's the difference between Yarnis and fucking I don't want to expect nobody, but you know that's a difference. That's difference between a good seven for them. You know what I'm saying, Joannie, I seen Yannis every day he gonna put two hundred, he gonna get his hip bridges in.
Young guy. I see that that hey I'm talking about.
He be putting weight that you ain't supposed to be lifting and something he's gonna get his and he like and just the older I got, You know, I think that's why I'm so good now because I take it serious.
Like I got to the NBA.
I didn't take lifting weights and taking my body as serious as we should.
Yeah what I'm saying, I agree, I didn't neither.
Like and now I see like I'm older, like bro, if I don't like lift right or stretch right by my backbard Now you know what I'm saying. I feel like that's the difference between like what I was doing in college and what everybody else was doing in college.
Like we was like lift like our game, our game days left, Like you know what I'm saying, this show he was a double double machine.
You think you got the greatest one one and done. You think you're the greatest like that, and you think you had the best one to done. Who you think of the best.
Y'all? Nuck and neck. We we looked it up. I would say, outside of Mellow, the reason like Mellow did what he did right, And.
This is why I think the argument needs to be categorized. Because Mellow had a great team. Yeah you know what I'm saying, Mellow, Magnamur and Warwick, you know, me and KD.
Like he had a young team.
They was young team and individually like we were just out there giving y'all know what I'm saying, Like me with me, it wasn't even a scoring like you go back and look at that. Yeah, I like I remer. I remounded more than I scored. You know what I'm saying. Most of my my points came off offensive rebound, with offense rebound and face up jumps.
You know what I'm saying.
K D.
Was him, but he had his day. I don't think I scored that well. I think I can put the ball. No, no, no, listen, let me let me man.
Man explained, being a lot a lot and well like that. That different, like even we just play. We had what doing a big three? He said, I'm staying in front of him. You said, stay between him and the past. So I said, no, no, no, So what happened with that?
Then?
What's your excuse for that? I don't know what I'm saying to him. Make him make shot?
Said she hitting every shot. When I when I watched me, I don't think it looks cool. I do when when I watched k D, I think it looks really cool to like, you know, my one. It was one of my favorites, one of my favorite Jordan Crawford.
When I watch him play basketball, I like, that's one of the reasons I be working out like I work out like how you get your legs to move that way while your body is more he be throwing ship that I be like, yeah, bro, if I can do that, Bro, you sos bro and your wing spinning so long and you a lefty and it's like you go both ways.
I don't even know.
So good y'all don't even know why I'm so good you here though, But what I'm saying, work for work.
It's for work. It's all about for work. But you a three level score though?
What is that? But he been medy is crazy, slept.
Is going on a high level since yeah, I just told you. Yeah, Like my game ain't like nothing pretty to watch. That's why people don't. Let's what you still get a I got like, you know, I got a smooth I.
Got a professional game.
I'm gonna shoot the jumps out in your face, wonderable to the counter, wonderable to the.
No you line.
Because I just watched it. They just had a video on your Knicks highlights and it was crazy.
See Nick nick Na Nicks, tell you about that. Let me tell you about that. See so I started the season of our in four points right like four minutes, like four points in like five minutes, Tim Hardaway got hurt and then I was like like maybe nine minutes and I was like, bro, I swear, bro, I'm going hard in practice getting my extra you know. I went to Kurt Rambers, one of them shoutout Kin Rammers. That's like one of the like one of the only coaches that resonated with who I am. Right, I went to I went to on one game and I say, I say, bro, what is it?
Man?
Like, like I cursed him out. I said, Bro, that's your nigga. Bro, like, fuck me, I'm gonna beat both of y'all up, like you know what I'm saying. But you know I was, you know, but he like he's like at this point, bro, just make make him look bad for not putting you in. So I just remember in New York, I just but like all right, I'm just nigga every time out there, I'm just gonna throw my old bag out there. Like like I treated like I cheated in New York, like the summertime nahated like like pick up, like the highlights showed that like it's one of the highlights. Is like bees is coming in you know buckets, like yep, it's a quick twelve bout to come off like I was like damn so and then, but it ain't worked. That's that's what piss me off. Like, Bro, that ship ain't give me no more minutes. I could like like smooth ship, like with poor Zingis and and Tim Hardaway and Courtney Lee.
I could have. I could have made that a playoff team. I was playing out of position.
If they had played me to god fronted with if I would have too got in fronted with UH with Jared Jack.
You know what I'm saying.
Everybody played me as a as a full because of college. But I've been playing out of position my whole career. You played me at the at the one two three. I'm bigger, I'm better on defense. Now I got somebody to play pick and roll with.
I could.
I could have sucked the pick and roll game up with Kylo Quinn and UH Christophers, but Jeff Jeff Wannersac was on the hot seat and Porzingis didn't really know how to play good basketball, like winning basketball, so.
That she was trash man. But that like that ship I was. I just treated that ship like the sometime I was just thought it was a pure far forward.
That's why I said you was a three level score because watching you hoop now it's like, now he really a perimeter player that can do both. That's what that's that's so that's why I didn't play in Miami my first two years, because Spoe wanted me to be Callos Boozer.
Damn, I don't see you as no boo bro.
Every like nigga, he was ahead of your time though.
Every every practice I used to watch for hour two hours Collos Boozer and fucking call Alone like and I used to tell them, like, bro, even if I get that much weight, like my shoulders not.
Even that wide, like I can't beat that Dwight hard.
It's like, bro, you know somebody else. Hold on, y'all, somebody tell me what what? Just like what I missed what you said? No, I said you gotta. They wanted you to be built like the White. No, what did you say the White Howard died? You don't want I'm talking about what you're talking about.
Came alone alone was the biggest NBA niggas. No nobody like that. When I went back to the when I went back to the heat with Lebron, I got on Lebron. What was that brouh.
I ain't gonna say. I ain't gonna tell you what, but I don't. I don't eat three times a day. I'm on one time, two times to day. I skipped breakfast fast. But that season I was eating three times a day. I was like two fifty. I'm talking about body fat five percent. I was like, go go back and look at the pictures when, like when I was next to how did you feel on the court though, like a brick wall, like you feel like it worked?
Though, I like, I ain't feelings saucy. You know what I'm saying. My jump shot ain't feel phillis fluent. But I ain't never get hurt like matters, you know. But let's like I like, I'm trying to get your m v P. So I'm trying to be m v P next year called lines of ball. Lines got no knee? I need you need a new knee. Yeah, need microphraker surgery. But I ain't gonna never get that.
So he don't want to sit down for a couple of months.
Yeah, that's why I quit playing.
It's like it's it's it's some ways you can hear your knees like I feel I feel cool now I trained.
I train now like the way I the way I.
Like.
I broke my Uh.
I broke my foot in September, and I can tell people now because like I didn't want nobody to know because I didn't.
Really get back on the court until like like maybe six weeks before this Big three seasons.
Like always stunting on niggas for real, so you ain't even traded.
So now you I.
Got something. We got something.
Like that.
No, No, I was rehabbing, like bro, Like right before the season last year, I was I was about to go to TURNA.
And you know, I was out l A playing and I stepped on kd foot. You know, I ain't know.
I don't know why, bro, Like, I mean it was playing and then play before I contested him. And when I was contested him, I was saying to myself like like I've never been here before, you know, like I've never been this close on defense before.
I was.
I remember saying that to myself, like, you know, like because I don't, like Bro, I ain't no hard defensive nigga. Yeah, so I just remember, you know, like I just don't you know, I just felt like I was up there five seconds while he was shooting jump hit in my face.
I'm just like, whatever, all right, next play.
The same thing. And I just came down, bro, my ship shot it. Uh, Little Dirt was in the gym. I was crying like this the first time I meet Little Dirty, see me, I'm trying to like I always thought it was gonna be a gangster situation when I met him. I'm saying some I don't know, yeh, some gangs shit. You know, maybe in my hood is shooting the video or something like, I don't know. It's not crying. I got right out of sixteen for you, Dirt. Like man, I was crying. That ship was embarrassing, but like Dog, I thought it was over. So like the rehab behind that. It was supposed to be uh a three four month because I ain't need surgery, but end up being like five six seven months rehab because my dorsy flexed wouldn't come back, you know. So like Dog, I really like just like just do what I do every day. That's why I was laughing downstairs. And I hope this come out after the game tomorrow because like literally like I've literally been doing the same move all season all like the same move was like I'd be laughing. I told I told my man before the season, I said, bro, I'm gonna burn these niggas up with the same move all season long, and it ain't even gonna realize it.
And nobody realized.
It besides me. Go get to the clip. I like you, and I told you we were scared. I said, this is what I been fucking wait for the only reason I've been But.
I told him my dad, I called him with that free thrown, I ain't want none of them. He's scoring me. Nah No, you got me on the block, but the free throw line I caught you.
You ain't scored on the clip, y'all wrote the clip way I said this any more, you done them and nothing I had thirty.
I've seen the box score. I wanted them. We won though, Yeah I supposed to win that one point. Yeah, he went, we lost. I ain't never heard lost heard was going on on? Your teammate says that that one. I told you the nigga moving that first st set right, I said, man, gon hit that all night. Man, he hit that two times in a row. He hit that mouger five times. He did bring the fire matter that nigga just going to move that. I said, he came to play to night, but I gotta stop on beans.
People get like body won so fucked up. They had a better year. Why his body fun up work? He just he and he don't do drugs.

I an't know he was a hood nigga. Yeah, I thought he was a professional. You thought he was a square I thought he was a square seven. Like you know, I ain't never meet him in person. You know what I'm saying. What I'm saying so and he quiet. So I just yeah, you know what I'm saying. I'm from the west side of that. He's still he's still a professional. A little Braxton in man.
I ain't no pretty hard to break my boy. My boy to get to that chicken though, I didn't know he started watching the podcast show Man.
Like we said one of the coach ever scored basketball? Who are some of your favorite scores? You know, we said k d for show They got to be famous?

I was probably ten or eleven. Talk about how you met him too? What do you want to I met him? Yeah, both lives you want. We wanted to hear the origin from how you and KD like I met him practice one of the Yeah, I like the piece of story's true. Oh it's not that true. So I took half the box.
But the people I took him from took it from they had to get dislikes too, respect, So that's why the whole piece was gone. But I remember I got I thought they forgot about it, understand it, you know. But I took the piece like like my mother got a rule. She said, don't come home. We don't come in the car if you ain't got you know what I'm saying for everybody. I got four or five brothers and sisters. If I came to call one sp pieza, So I had to come half the joint and my mom I got. I still got popped because I had the piece in my hand like like like this that's really ship. I really had to over k because I didn't want to whoopan. That was eleven that's what was everything. That's that's where the piece come from. But when me and KD met bro, we was dog attached to the hip, like like I told this, I said this before, Like KD was the first time I ever bought my Xbox out the house. Like KD was my man, like I was his nigga, Like like my mom used to pick us lf from school. His mom used to drop us off like like if I ain't got a ride, I'm catching the bus to his house. Even his brother, Tony Man, Me and Tony, we used to kick it every like no that you know, we just grew up like that, like if I'm doing something messed up, his mother gonna pop me. And you know what I'm saying, you know, And it was just it was never basketball with us, yeah, you know, like on the court room. Like when I first started playing with KD. I was trash at basketball. Like I was trash.
He was always the one.
Yeah, I can just rebound, Like every game I had thirty forty rebounds and look whereever Kevin was that dog, I'm talking about twenty offensive rebound. I'm throwing that back. Same way he played now since he was nine ten years old, I'm talking about half court, letting that joint fly. That's just how we niggas just be fun. We win games, we go home, play video games.
We break. Somebody went down. Bro.
We was in Florida, and I ain't gonna say what the coach KD and coaches rattling. Man, I jumped on. I jumped on KD back. Kay fucked me back.

So you know, whoever had the past shoes for us or better situation for us? And you know, and I can't speak for his situation, and you know, I just know my situation personally. When I met Curtis Malone, I was wearing the same past shoes two years and they was too small, and that nigga showed up to my house with.
