How you feel that... It's like all the overseas players out the country is running the NBA. How you feel about that? Running to the NBA? Running the NBA. They got most of the biggest players. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was kind of coming, though. Why was it coming? Because basketball is growing all over the world. I played FIBA basketball, So I run into these guys like all the time. Like I ran into, obviously, we're talking about Luka, we're talking about Joker, we're talking about Giannis, even like guys like Zubac. I played against him in like U16, U17, FIBA World Cups. Like I just think the basketball game is just not only held to America, it's like it's getting bigger. Guys are getting stronger, faster, like smarter. It's just next level. Yeah. Who's the top five players that when you step on the court they complain the most about you? The top five players that complain the most about you? Top five players that complain the most about you when they see you on that court. They always going to the refs. Because see, I wouldn't go through. I'd be giving you 48 times I play you. I wouldn't even worry about that shit. But I know some of these... Because I'm an old school player. You know what I mean? You'd be okay with the bumps and the pitches and the grabs. I play big. My whole game was that. You know, back in the day. You might be tired, though. Tired about what? Tired like to get to the rim. No, that's him. He olden to me. I ain't got to. You got like a Zion game. See? I like that. See? See? They match my game up. He lying, though. No, he's not. He's lying. They match my game up with dudes. You see what I did? Stanley Roberts. Did you see what I did to Donovan Mitchell? I had to. He can't even guard the post like that. But still, like. He want no physicality. The agents was calling me that. Donovan Mitchell? Yeah, yeah. Don't do that. Don't say. Physicality. You don't want no physicality? No. No. Come watch our game. Watch our game. Who else don't want no physicality? No, no, no. First of all, before we...

They're telling the refs, like, you know what I'm saying? What's going on? Yeah. Like, who? First one that come to mind for me, obviously, Luka. Luka's obviously a big-ass complainer. Oh. Mm. When we go down the line, Curry won. I actually gave him a shot. You've seen that play? I gave him a shot right in his chest. Contest. Damn. You just fed up. I just lost. That's two. Yeah. Two people. Who else complains the most? LeBron, for sure. That's three. Two people off the Lakers. damn yeah that was coincidence though oh you know who else have we played this year complains a lot I think team by team hey Jaron Jackson mmm old teammate and damn he don't spare nobody you see last but his old teammate you ain't seen nobody from my team so I ain't nobody Giannis come on Giannis played too hard to be complaining but the first time I ever played him first thing he did was started screaming like off the rip driving the ball and be like trying to get the fouls on me early this is like Memphis days trying to get the fouls on me early so I don't have to guard him. Damn. Let me ask you a question. When you was in Memphis and you made that statement. Which one? In the playoffs. Oh, he's old? That one? And then it didn't turn out your way. Yeah. Was there any regret in that? No. Because that's how we were all season, though. Yeah. Like from the beginning, from when Joss said that we were fine in the West, which we were fine in the West.

And shit from the beginning to the end, and me I was just trying to honestly for me my thoughts by doing that in that series was him to shoot the ball more I want him to shoot the ball more but being LeBron he's not going to overshoot he's not going to try to take over a game he's going to try to get everybody involved get his little transition points or like off a rebound or something like that open three but I was trying to get him to shoot more because I know if he shoots more then this guy's not getting the ball this guy's not getting the ball and it's like a one-on-one matchup and I could take on that matchup any day of the week. But, no, I don't ever regret it, even though it later me not being on the team anymore. But that wasn't my fault. That was just us not being ready for the moment. So when you do that, and then coming the very next year, you're not on the team. Emotionally, where was you at? because if you're willing to go out there on a limb, and, yo, like, I'm riding a dying for Memphis. What's up? He ain't like that. He ain't like that. And that was everybody, too. Right. From 1 to 12, everybody was on that. Like, yeah, if y'all touch Ja, it's up. Yeah, for sure. Like, what's up? Like, and then now it's like, I'm going. Yeah. I was the heart and soul of the team. like I was the one that gave us some heartbeat. I was the one that they didn't look at us like we were soft because they knew that, okay, they got certain players that they going to go to bat as soon as you just – how was it emotionally? First I thought – because the way it happened was like outrageous. It's like after the series was over, we had a meeting because every team has a meeting. And then I had a meeting with the general manager, and the general manager told me, like, nah, we're not going to sign you. Like, one-on-one. So I was like, okay, you know what, like, maybe I was overboard, maybe I wasn't, you know, it's against the Lakers. We didn't have our full team, and that was the biggest team in the NBA at that time, Anthony Davis. But was you putting it on that situation to why they wasn't resigning you? Huh? I mean, now you're looking back. It may have nothing to do with it. You know what I mean? I think it was just a money thing. I'm saying emotionally was just how you was looking at it at the time. You was a lot younger. You really didn't know the, you know, you might not know the NBA business, how we go. You know what I'm saying? Honestly, like I knew then how it would go. I just never thought it would be Memphis doing it to me. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's how most players say it. Because I was there, got drafted second round pick. I went through like three coaches. We ended up finally rebuilding the shit. And now we're top of the West every year. so that's why I didn't get why are we trying to change shit up. But that's just this NBA shit where it's like we're always trying to reinvent the wheel. Right. Where it's like, okay, we're going to do something new. We're going to do something new. That shit just bite him in the ass. But for me, like, what I was mad about was how it all came out. It should have never came out like that. It should have just been like, okay, we're just going to walk by what the situation with Dylan Brooks is and then, you know, we'll see our free agency. but somebody leaked something out that I wasn't going to get signed under no circumstance, and then the next day, boom, came out. Next day. And now potentially it's messing with your money. Yeah, that's what I thought they were trying to mess with my money because I'm like, damn, now you're trying to put words on me where people can assume and think now. Like, oh, why wouldn't Memphis want to sign him back? He's their anchor. He's their team. He's their this. They said all this about him. Oh, there must have been something bad. Right. You know what I'm saying? So I'm just thinking that I had the deal, ready to go. Like I was already thinking about some other shit, to be honest, because the whole year they were playing games. So I was just like, you know what? Let me not be the cancer that usually you see on teams where they don't get their way. And they just start bickering and start not playing. You know what I mean? Like the next year they had that, Memphis. And that wasn't that. I was like, I'm going to play my role to the best of my ability. And that's what I was telling you from before. Like, it's hard to shoot an open shot if you ain't working on your shit. Right. You know what I'm saying? Because you're getting these big games. And I got DeAndre Russell running at me like this, the worst defender on the floor, not guarding me. You know what I'm saying? And the whole offense gets jumped up. It gets stopped. Like, now you've got to figure out how we play this guy, but this guy has to guard the best player on their team. so being a second rounder right now you look up you averaging like 20 in college I'm talking about right now 20 20.9 there's not a lot of second rounders that you can say is averaging 20 points so obviously the grind to where you got to is different. But did you know this would be your role? Or did you just try to kind of come in? Because, like, when I look at Draymond Green, he was an aggressive player in college, but it wasn't really like the bully or the villain. And then it was like he kind of came into that role because that's what the team needed. You know what I'm saying? Even early on when I look at Draymond, I just look at him as somebody that hustled hard, played hard. For sure. Now it seemed like he came into a, like, did you, was that always you or did it kind of just like? Like, I feel like I had the competitive, like, spirit, like, the competitiveness to always, like, take on the challenge every night. The villain and all that shit came from that very year where they weren't trying to pay me. And I was just, and then my shots decreased. And then I was like, I'm bored. Like, we need to talk some shit now. and then literally I'll be sitting like this with my boys chilling after the game talking shit, whatever, talking to shit, whatever and then shit, I'll be in the media room now and all the shits I'm sitting with my boys, I'm like, man, I might say it right now here. Then it just started clicking, clicking, clicking. Now I forget who gave me the name but they just said Dylan the Villain and it just clicked after that. Then all the fighting, like I hit Donovan in the nuts and we were scuffling on the sidecourt here. my team security tried to save me some money, tried to, like, jump into me. Tried to save me some money, and he ended up breaking his rib. So I ended up just fucking soup mixing him. Yeah, yeah. I was, like, I fell down, boom, we were pushing, tussling, and then Kev, Kev is his name. Kev came in, tried to jump on me like this, and I just seen the body came, I just... That's crazy. You know what's crazy? You know, there's hundreds of good guys in the NBA. That's crazy. The villain's a great role. Somebody got to play it, man. Yeah. There's no Batman without the jump. You know what's crazy though? I feel the same way you felt about the whole the whole Memphis thing because I had a similar situation like that I was playing for LSU and they just I was trying to say I was a distraction and they just kicked me out of school I don't know what was going on it was a lot of because I was real aggressive on the defense. You know what I'm saying LSU. Like you be hating like people You said that's the same color. Same color almost. The dollars penitentiary ass grabbers. Okay. But no, so how do you feel being in the league, right, and it's always comparison about yesterday and today? Oh, yeah. How do you feel about that? How do you deal with that? I just try to stay the course, like, every day. I don't really look into the social media. Okay. That social media now can, like, put, like, kind of, like, push you into a way. You know what I'm saying? like okay like say our team's bad all year that listen to the media that can be pushing you and to be like okay we're on a bad team i don't gotta work hard i don't gotta do this i don't gotta do that not realizing this is a job you know i'm saying like you gotta be ready to get the next contract or the next season you know i'm saying because most of these guys that are on teams now one-year deals two-year deals and then you got the guys with five six you know like all the big big money guys so um but i don't focus on the comparison no one really compares only like you get like the young guys like all these gms would be like okay this guy's like a dylan brooks like a second rounder who plays hard who's multi-faceted in the game blah blah i can bruise a little bit but all this comparison it's like you can't compare the the game from before to now like it's totally different you see like way more physical back then maybe maybe it's not like and when i'm watching i see dudes like like jordan and these guys doing the same moves that we're doing like you know i'm saying maybe look different might be you know with a foul at the end of it but i'm gonna keep it all these guys the same now i don't care what nobody say with camera man y'all done made some shit up all right let me catch you see this basketball like back in the day it was bam one two oh yeah that's that's it yeah now a motherfucker can go one two turn yeah what the was that that's not a walk like you know they added to them They added this shit. So when you go like this in pump fake, when I was like 10 or 15, you can never step through. How can you do that? How can you do that to get to this pump fake? You said, one, two. Okay, now you're going to go three and then lay the ball in? What the hell is going on? It's crazy. It's the reason why we never seen Larry Bird do that shit. It's not legal. that's not y'all making shit up on the fly and it's crazy like literally some guys they have all that mastered you cannot guard how can you guard them it's impossible like then like Tyrese Maxey he shoot off the wrong foot so that's like that's definitely like you waiting for him to go one two and he go one and then Yeah, fly from like friggin this hash mark. He's got that shit on smash, floater on smash. That's an underrated player right there. Y'all guys definitely more talented as far as talent wise. Like skill, shooting. You got a little extra connectivity on your lip. All right, don't worry about that. I don't know what you was doing before the game. Is it safe to say overseas players run the game now? I mean, when you look at the top 10 players in the league. You ain't overseas, Blair. Canada. That's not overseas. It's right there. That's overseas. That's international. No, but that's not overseas. Overseas is over the water, players. Listen, if I'm right here and you're right here and I get this, hey, what's up, man? Walk right. You can walk over the bridge from Detroit. That just means you're closer. That's all. That's not overseas. Overseas is London, bro. International. International. International. International. You know, you need a passport to get there. No, no, it's overseas. You could drive in there. Overseas is over the sea. What is your kid? Come on, you're with the college. Overseas is over the sea. What the fuck is it? These are overseas. It's overseas. You're not overseas. Yeah, international. Okay. International. Fuck. I'm just saying he said overseas. It's not overseas. Because if you look at the top ten players in the league, internationally, you got to go Jokic. You got to go Giannis. You got to go Shea. Yeah, Shea in there for sure. That's my favorite player, Shea, my take. Like OKC. We done it. You got to go Wembley. Yeah, we killed him. We see what we done last year. You got to go Wembley. Yeah, Wembley. You got to go Luka. Yeah. Like, no, it's just it's definitely influenced for sure. Like, the talent is there. But right now it's like they got like the top eight out of ten players. Yeah. And even lower too. Like you got a lot of Canadians in the league. There's like 27 Canadians in the league. Damn. 27 Canadians. And like there's like five right now, I think like a month ago, where all averaging, well, not all, but five of them are averaging 20 points. So two of them are averaging like 19, 18. Like when you Google the top 50 players in the NBA right now, you're number 48. Oh, I didn't know that. Shit. Perfect. Number 48. Yeah. Perfect. So, and even the list is just. You got a lot of dudes that's before you that I don't know if you would be like, ah. No, I always did. I always said that from a long time ago. And, like, I could have been like this four or five years ago. Yeah. But even, probably even better by the time I hit right now. Because in the beginning of the year, I fell into that NBA life.

But he's soft. Soft. Soft. Austin Reeves. Foul Bader. Foul Bader. That's my guy. Amen Thompson. That's my guy. Cooper Flagg. I give him a better year than you right now. No not a better year than me because I was over there we would have been in the playoff hunt. That's what I do. Trey Murphy. I can support losing so no but he having a great year too The Aaron Fox I don think he having a better year I love your honesty I don think he having a better year than me Jalen Williams. Too hurt. Okay. That's my team. We got game though. We got game. No, head to head, no. I love that matchup too. Because he talks a little bit too. That's one of the five you could add in there. Or one of the, you can put a six. He'll complain the most. Yeah, yeah. For sure. Julius Randle big ass be complaining. For sure. He wants all the calls. And he plays the most physical out of anybody. Him and Zion and Giannis. Carl Anthony Towns. Sweet. Jalen Durham. Yeah. Oh, I feel he got all right. See, yeah. Larry Markner. No. Even though his numbers are. Bam Adebayo. I love playing against him too. We always go back and forth. I'll leave him there. Chet. No. Scottie Barnes. No. I love that matchup too. The guys that can't shoot, I love that matchup. So you are loving that matchup right now. Over there. Yes. You just don't even got to guard them. You just got to be ready to take the hit. Right. Joel and B. No. Hold on. Why not Joel? No. Why? Too hurt, bro. He's hurt right now. Like you can probably like go to sleep for a week and wake up and he's probably hurt again. Like you know what I mean? James Harden. James having a hell of a year. Yeah, yeah. James. LeBron James. They're not having a better year than me. LeBron's not having a better year than you? No. Pascal Siakam, do you think they downplay the defense? Yeah, for sure. Because there should be a couple guys maybe on their defense. Because if you're averaging 20. Yeah. and you're a first team second team all defensive player yeah that should account for something 100 100 i feel like you just gotta get in the same year my first team was like three years ago do you think you should be able to win mvp if you're only an offensive player like luca i think because just as much as you help your team you hurt your team 100 because because they were just going at you every single time. So if you get 40 and you're giving up 40. That don't mean nothing, but I think all the MVP stuff comes down to, like, winning for, like, a top team in the West. You got the numbers and, obviously, the hype. Because the hype shit's inevitable. When you say hype, you say hype or hype? Hype, hype. All right, so explain the hype. like a Jersey sales maybe a little bit of that always in the media in the media in a good way hype or any type I think it's either way unless it's too bad you know what I mean like like for instance like if you were in the MVP conversation you have like a situation like Ja like you're not gonna get the MVP right you know what I'm saying right like that's bad that's like bad publicity not working in your favor. Right, absolutely. Like, publicity overall, you know, maybe if you had a bad game or you scored a game winner or, you know, you're scoring 30 every night and they're talking about you every night, when they come and vote this shit at the end, it's the media, it's the coaches, and then it's the fans. Do you think the media should be able to vote who's the MVP? I don't think so. I don't think so either because— I think it's a majority, though. Because at the end of the day, right, you got media who they human beings just like everybody else and they and they get any feelings see see y'all you you could be in your feelings and still say no Lucas tough as shit yeah no Anthony Edwards that's a bad motherfucker some though but you know what I'm saying but but they're getting any feelings because the motherfucker didn't give him an interview or they a motherfucker shove shove them off after a game or now it's coming down to your vote or or or this vote for mvp and it's like no i'm going with such and such yeah and that's what's crazy too because then you're playing with dudes money and incentive and right that's why i don't really i like i want basketball minds you know what i'm saying like at least you played a little bit or you played some type of basketball not just these random guys that are just you know with the buttons and like we're going to go buy off the stats and how efficient you are and this like i mean most of these dudes are nerds that never had no game no but they want to tell us how yo stop doing that you're not in the league though no they're not telling you But my game is not respect. I got to catch this shit. But my game is not respect. He told me they want to tell us. He keep putting us with you. You're not in the league, Dylan. You said, and they want to tell us. That's my man. You're not in the league, though. Look at this ankle's on ice right now. Look at this shit. Look at this shit on ice. You're not in the league. Stop doing that shit. Dylan bought his brother. I cooked him. I threw this shit on the grill. No, but stop that shit. You're talking about that they want to tell us. You keep incorporating yourself in the NBA. Mind your business. NBA business ain't your business, man. You're talking about that. Yeah, because they want to tell us. But see, one thing Dylan knows is Gill and Brooks understand the game. You understand? You're a fan from the fan perspective, not from being in the game. No, I understand. You're the same thing as us. What's the dude name? First of all, let me just say this, right? You can just ask him and he'll tell you, no, just by the moves that he put on me, that was some ambiation. But that's cool, though. He not used to know motherfucking 50s. He just like all these guys. Bam. Bam. He over the, come here, man. I'm 50. He's 30-something. Like, he's sitting over there texting this woman right now. Yeah, baby, this shit didn't go good. This nigga got, this nigga got rubble ankles or something at 50, man. The way this nigga was bouncing around at 50, man. He wasn't talking, though. He was bouncing around, though. You know what I mean? He ain't, like, got a pepper your step. That's cool, but what's the dude that used to be with Stephen A. Smith, the white guy that chose? Oh, Skip. You're the same thing as Skip. You've never been in the game. You just talk. I'm like Skip. You never played the game. To my fucking lube. What are you talking about? No, you're not. I'm a real gamer. You keep putting yourself in the game. You know what I'm saying? Oh, I'm not. Nah, you're just a commutator. You put the fuck out of here. You ain't because the way they do us. They're not voting for you. He only agree. Look at being the way to do us. But no, so what y'all going to do this year, though? We're making playoffs this year. See, why? No, no. I don't want to hear that shit. People, and I tell you about that. I don't want to hear players keep talking about they making playoffs. Why are nobody? Why are everybody too scared to say we're going to the chip? Chip? When I was playing ball, playing for college, I'm saying we're going to the chip this year. You know what I mean? Why nobody say that? Why everybody say we go? The playoffs don't count. The first year, they don't count. But it's like steps. You know, we kind of rebuilding this shit up. Damn. So, you know, once we get to the point. The playoffs. Two years, three years. Like, it's the same thing in Houston. Like, you want to make the playoffs. You got to get the field because all these young guys never been to the playoffs. See, y'all got to understand this, man. I'm really counting with y'all because this was my team back in the day. Yeah. Kevin Johnson. Cedric Cabalas. Dan Marley. Barkley. This was my squad. Yeah. You got to step up, man. Y'all got to do something. They ain't play back in the day. No, they didn't. They did what they supposed to do. No, they didn't. They lost to Mike in the finals. They played with Mike, though. Like playing and losing to Mike was not like losing. That was Mike. That was Mike. That's not like losing. You're playing with Mike. Mike, like, it's like you won a baby chip. Yeah, we just played with Mike and then they took us. You know how many dudes? They was like, man, you know what? I can respect that Mike cookie, man. But that's the fear that I don't think any players really have out here, like how Mike had it. Oh, no players got that fear like that? No. So you said, hold on. If I was walking to the NBA and, like, I'm a rookie, and, like, usually you got, like, this stardom or whatever and blah, blah, blah. Like, my stardom was out of the wind right away. Right. Like, I won't ever forget this moment. First year in Memphis. We played Golden State. We beat Golden State when they had, like, Durant and all those guys, blah, blah, whatever. and then we played Cleveland and that's when I first got on the floor in Cleveland. I'm looking at LeBron, looking at JR, I'm looking at all these guys. I'm like, damn, these niggas are glowing right now. I had a good game too at like 12 or whatever. He wasn't scared of none of them? No, I wasn't scared. I was just kind of like I was trying to ease my way in, which you should never do. So then after that... You mean to tell me, you just got in the game. You see this nigga LeBron, right? I'm starting. This motherfucker, listen, you gotta think about it. He's huge. That's my first time seeing him. You got to stand. Brian's name is, there's only three names that they mention in the NBA. It's Brian, Kobe, and Mike. Yeah. That's all they ever say. I'm not knocking nobody else. You know what I'm saying? No, it's a fact. Now, but like, you see Brian, and you ain't like, oh, shit. No, that was the first thing I said. The first thing I said was, oh, shit, this nigga's big as fuck. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's huge, tall, massive. Like, how am I going to guard this guy? So, fast forward to the game, close game, whatever. He ends up, Well, I know he loves going right. I didn't know that at the time. Like, my leg was literally moving open to the right. That's how, like, kind of nervous, anxious I was to guard him. Like, at the end of the game, when the game's on the line, we up a little. We up, like, probably one. My leg is literally open up to the right. He drives me all the way to the lane. Bumps, lays, starts doing this shit. Oh, so he threw you on the grill. Did he put any? Oh, yeah. Did he put barbecue sauce or was just seasoning on you? How did he do this? That was probably the seasoning right there. See, he laid season on him. He put the ball. I was crazy. He put him on the grill, though. He threw him on the grill. After that moment, I was like, I'll never, ever, like, feel that way ever again. And then you came up out of that shit and it was over. Yeah, literally. Like, I never feared nobody else. So is that a part of why you be trying to get LeBron held like that? All the time. Because of that day? Do that day play? I wouldn't say that day, but it could have been, like, he was on the Lakers early. And I always wanted to meet people that I love. I grew up. Because I see you, you go through it with some other people. I grew up. But not like with Bron. Not with Bron, because I feel like Bron is going to handle it. You know, he'll like tweak out a little bit. So your job is to throw him off? Yeah. My job every night is to throw off somebody off their game. It's so known now that guys really try to not like, you know, like, you know, you know what I'm saying? And they try to now do the flip where they'll have other guys and try to engage in me. You know what I'm saying? Like, try to, like, bump me or foul me hard or whatever. And I'll try to throw me off my game. Somebody you try to throw off, and then they try to double reverse it on you. They pull the Uno card, and I'll try to throw you off. Russell Westbrook. He like, fuck out of here, bitch. He has me to use a bitch. That's different, man. That's my man, Russ. I'll never forget Maurice Spates. My first year. From the Sixers? Yeah, Maurice Spates. He was playing for Golden State at the time. Golden State, then, yeah. I'll never forget. I gave him like one chuck like this and he fucking lost it. Ran at me trying to like fucking drape me up. I was like, oh man, this is crazy. But now all those old guys are gone now. Yeah. He's going now. Now we got the young guys, you know what I'm saying? They don't really want to do that. You know what they want to do? They want to dance on Instagram. Yeah. Damn. He'll be dancing. All he be doing is just on socials. Look, he's like. You think social hurt the game? Do they hurt people's game? Yeah. Why do it hurt people's game, social media? I think they just do the work just to show people. They're not really doing the work. Because, shit, like I told you, I could have been done doing this, like, maybe three or four years ago. But I never put in the work until these past two years. So I know, like, the work is real. It's just, what are you doing it for? Are you doing it for the love of the game to get better? or you're doing just a show, like a couple clicks here, a couple clicks there. There's no way Klay Thompson should be shooting like shit this year. And we've seen all the videos of him shooting 30 in a row, 40 in a row. You know what I mean? I feel like that's clicks.

Clay Thompson played for my team, Golden State at the time when they was winning. Let me explain something to you about him. He's a legend. He already done what he did. He did. You can't say nothing about what he did. He can go out now. He chilling. He got his paper. He did it. He gave his love to the game. Sometimes it go from loving the game to loving yourself. Y'all love his woman. He went from giving his love to the game to his love to a dame. He's loving his woman now. He said, fuck that. I gave you all anything you need to do. I can't say too much. You know what I'm saying? When you got a motherfucker throwing that thing on you, you're jumping beyond. You be throwing shit they with. Shit beyond. She dropped that motherfucker. Legs fucked up. No legs. Legs fucked up. Like a boxer shit. You know what I mean? She's dropping that ass on her first thing in the morning. He coming on screens all kicking his shit. You know what? That's probably why his game went out on me. Probably. That might be why his game went out on me. Well, let me tell you something. He got his rings, though. Yeah, he got his already. And he got his paper. So he could be celebrated. Okay, let me ask you this question. Top five hardest players in the league for you to guard? Do I say it's Shea? Shea's first. Shea? Shea. So you would say, would you say, because me personally, I think Shea is probably the best player in the league. That's my team, for sure. I would say that me just personally, other than my guy Tyrese Maxey, who's having an outstanding year this year. Yeah, he's having an outstanding. Shea, I don't think nobody in the league know they game and cater to their game. As much as him. As much as him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. It's like, I don't care that the game is based around shooting threes, shooting. I'm a mid-range killer. And y'all gonna get this fucking mid-range work. Yeah. All game. So two years ago, because me and him train like near each other, like we're in Team Canada or whatever, you'll train. We have like our trainers are like friends and shit, work for Team Canada and shit. So he would tell me like he asked him, why don't you shoot more threes? This is like three, two years ago when he just started, like, get into that third. Yeah, he's like, bro, I don't want to let these guys off the hook. That's why you'd be attacking every single time to the bump, to the step through, to the foul bait, whatever it is, because he doesn't want to let no one off the hook while guarding him. Because, you know, a step back three, all you got to do is contest. Right. You know what I mean? It's only going to hurt if you can hit it. Right. Which he's not that. Right. He's probably, like, mediocre at hitting threes. Right. Unless it's on this side. You got one move on this side that he does every single fucking time. Piss me off. Yeah, that one. It's in the left hand. Left hand. Boom. You got to step back. When he does that, you got to step back, and then he's just right into his jump shot. All right. But Shea, Shea, Luka, gotta be one of them. His pace change, how big his body is. He's slow, but he's quick. He's quick. He's actually quick. And if he wasn't at that size, we'd be seeing old Luka. He's still young. Yeah. We should be still seeing old Luka, where he's dunking on dudes, cramming on dudes. But you got all, like, the spin, the fake. My shit that I like, where you get the bump here. you hit them with the pump fake they don't they don't move you just it's like they are looking at all you are like the court is right there like yeah that's all we the same like fucking not fuck out what he say I pop yeah yeah fuck the night I put 40 on for him fuck the night plan man listen a minute since someone put 40 on this okay well I to you for a little food we made it dang damn three years ago hey before you can't you name them talk that shit too though don't yeah he talks to talk crazy to you yeah yeah I was getting under his skin in Portland put that 40 and uh I'll never forget he was looking at me from the free from I was talking about shit whatever looking at me looking at me later he's like well do you want to that's when he was He's like, you want to box? I was like, what? You want to box? Dame, like, Dame at the foul line, like, yo, you're not saying this shit right. Set this shit up in the back. Oh, shit. But that's the last guy. That was in Memphis, too. That was a crazy 40. Oh, my God. Crazy. Crazy 40. Dame is, Dame remind me of somebody, like, you should just let him play. Yeah. They remind me of somebody like, he'll just go through the motions and then you'll wake him the fuck up. Yeah, you fucking fucking bum. He was real crazy. Yeah, that motherfucker start shooting from the ass over on that side. Absolutely nuts. Yeah I hope he comes back the same way though That injury doesn hold him back No don worry about it We got the same legs name me a little Damian Luca Luca Kawhi's in there. Oh Cuz Kawhi is like a goddamn robot man. Yeah, everything is just stiff. This is Yeah, so strong and you know, bro, you just can't get under his skin or you cannot like affect none of his jump shot Okay, so when you go to the game, like, I might as well not even talk no shit tonight because it don't matter. Yeah, for sure. Him, for sure. What's the craziest thing somebody ever said to you back on the court? Like I'm saying, like you said something to Kawhi. Kawhi's like, relax, man. It's not that serious. Yeah, he's like, bro, just play basketball, bro. Come on. I'm trying to, like, pinch him. I'm trying to, like, push him. I'm trying to just throw my body. He's like, bro, just play basketball. Come on. And then proceeds to, like, get to the middle of the floor, half step, fade away. I looked at it because that was our first game against them. Literally our first game against them. I'm like, okay, I got Kawhi tonight. I'm going to try to stop him. Couldn't. Then I remember I was standing right here. We were down like 20. James Harden's guarding me. I'm like, you know what? I'm going to get you next time we play you. Because I can guard you. I can guard James. You can guard James? Yeah, I can guard James. That's life. James ain't that physical. No, he doesn't want no physicality. And all he wants to do is go left. Like, he's, like, 90% better basketball player going left than right. So you make him go right and it's over. It's over. I know the step-backs come in. I know the foul bait fucking throw his arms into his come in. And then when he gets the right hand, he wants to just pass the ball. Literally. What you do, a scout report on everybody? Everybody. Everybody. Like, that year in Memphis, like, I was studying dudes' games, like, every night. You watch video? Yeah, just watching video, watching their shots for the last five games, watching plays that they love to run, try to, like, beat their plays. And then now, like, now I'm just sitting at home watching games all day. Because you've got to. You know what I'm saying? Like, you've got to, as a basketball player, you want to be at the next level, you can't just leave it up to these guys to do it. Some of these guys haven't played basketball. Some of these guys are just, you know, same way as we talk about as a media. So you've got to do your own shit. Who's fifth? Hold on, who's fifth? Probably Joker. Probably Nicola. There's probably nobody that can guard him in there. Where would you put Dev at? Dev Book. Book. He would have to be top ten. Yeah, he's top ten for sure. Top ten for sure. Probably like seven, six. And like those times when I was guarding him, he had a little cheat code where he would run full speed like coming down this way and just throw your body into him, just throw it up, get right to the line. I see Dev getting double teamed and pick up ball in the summertime. He was frustrated. Come on, man. We ain't doing this shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Goddamn, man. I get double teamed all year. I get double teamed. And you know what's crazy? The dude that was setting up the double teams was Shaquem Noah. So he was the one, that was one of my old teammates in Memphis. Fucking crazy high hat. But that's what he told them, though. He told them, get the fuck out of here, man. You think we lose, we get the fuck off the court, man. He yelling, too, like, yo, Snell, Snell, Snell. Double him, double him, double him. That's hilarious. That was hilarious. That was hilarious. It's crazy. Well, man, we was here with Dylan. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on for a second. Come here, man. Let me tell you how Dylan set this up. He knew he was going to have to play Gillen Brooks today, right? He set him up. His feet hurt over there, coach. So he had Devin Booker trip him in practice and come down on his wrist. And then turn around, he had my man right there, put him in a wrist, Jones. So when I'm walking in, he's like, this, I can't play you today. You know what I mean? So he made me take it out on a little bro over there. You said I threw him around? You said I threw him around? That's why I told you I played there. That's why I threw him around. They put him on a little bro. You see that? You see that? They caught little bro muscles. You said I threw him around? Yeah, I mean. He thought this shit was gonna work on me, man. I'd have threw him around. He was like, get on your bull, nigga. He ain't know that nigga. He did not know it was cutting his... He shot your lights out. He shot your lights out. Light, but it's heavy, yo. You hear me? And then he went and got his sneaks, because, like, he was doing... Oh, yeah, he was ready. He was ready, too. He was ready. He went and got his sneaks for me to put gasoline and set him on fire. He was like, this, reaching. His feet hurt now. His feet was on fire. He reached. That's how you feel like defense. Wait, watch when I put that one in slow motion. Killed it. Yo, I'm gonna keep it all we real, right? We not gonna put the camera on him, right? We gonna keep it here. But we got like a Phoenix Suns, like, executive over there, right? And after I hit him with a second move, he looked down there to one of the coaches and said, he didn't know I seen him, right? He didn't know I seen him. You know, that's why if y'all know this, right? It was a kid in here. What was his name? Oh, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. Ryan. He, if y'all noticed, during the interview, Ryan walked up to make sure his job was still secure. He's like, They ain't bringing him in to replace me, right? He's like, all right, cool. I'm like, no, enough. You good. He's like, I love you, OG. Like, they thought, Ryan, like, they kept me around in the gym a little longer. The five today. They brought him in to do a workout. Neff walked up nervous I'm good Let me ask you a question To be honest Could he be the 13 man on the bench? Thonis on the cupo What'd you say? Thonis Damn I'll take Thonis though I'll be Thonis Shit Let me just tell you this That's a great life Mocap Let me tell you this That's a great life Can he do it? I'm gonna tell you why I'm gonna tell you why Yo you gonna hype Listen Listen let me tell you Let me tell you why. Let me tell you why. Because to be in the NBA, you have to have a specific skill. I'm a shooter. But you know I knew he was a bum. I'm a shooter. You know I knew he was a bum. Anybody walk on the court with jean shorts on playing ball, they're bummed. The ass. That's what you all would say. The ass. That's what I would say. The ass. The ass. I'm like, oh, he's done. He's done, yeah. He gonna get a sneak. He gonna act like, we'll be playing. He gonna run to the car. What the fuck you do that for? You could have played with the mics. It wasn't gonna be a difference. See that? Yeah. Put that on my highlight room. Doug, if Lee and Dylan called you for me, man. It did us. And you probably was with it. That's why I got that. Yeah, you know. Oh, Ed, that shit's sweet. I'm gonna back him down.

Oh, that's how they be, they be screaming, you're hitting them too. Yeah, why they do that though, every time? Motherfuckers screaming, ah! Because they think they're gonna get the call from that shit. But they do get the call a lot of times. They do, they do, for real. Motherfuckers be calling like they getting robbed. robbed. Like, dog, that's a layup, bro. You never heard Michael Jordan do that shit. Larry Bird. Mike jump in the air, get punched in the face by Bill Lambir. He just come down, don't say nothing, get up. These dudes, you bump them a little bit. You can hear watching the game. You play? I'll be hooping. I got the run, I got the run. Man, you look like a rapper, man. I can hoop, though. But you look like a rapper or something. I can do it like Peso. Huh? Yeah. I do all that jeweler. Oh, you a jeweler. I'm taking that lights on. See, that's the problem. Well, see, now you're on the jeweler's. We looking like rappers. Yeah, I got an album coming out. Yeah. 60 Carrots. 60 Carrots. 60 Carrots. Oh, he the one that did your DB. I was thinking that nigga was single or something. It's Everclear. Oh, you ain't got that? He did the DB. Oh, that's going crazy. You from Phoenix? No, I'm from Toronto. Toronto? Okay, he ain't playing. Oh, so you? He stepped. Oh, so you just do everybody's shit, huh? He said, I'm doing it. I'm too old for that shit, man. Too old for a jewelry? I had the big shit back in the day. I'm too old for that shit. Now your neck be hurting, man. He gonna understand in about another five years, neck gonna be fucked up. He was the first one with lab diamonds in the country. Get the fuck out of here. Moissanite. Yeah, Moissanite, I heard that. He first boy that introduces the states to Moissanite. He went overseas when it was like China came back. He was a plug. He was a plug. Moissanite king. Don't you believe that shit? He was a Moissanite king. Oh my God. Moissanite. Moissanite. Too much party. See, but let me just tell you something. It all depends where city you're in, too. You know why y'all know y'all was built different? Not saying you per se, but your generation. Y'all built different. The generation as a whole is soft. We ain't got no game, man. I'm disappointed. You know why? Okay, number one, y'all get recovery days. Dr. J and them niggas was playing in Chucks, man. Yeah. Yeah. With no recovery days. You know how many fucking times after the game Dr. J's feet was bleeding? You jumping around in them fucking chucks? Think about this. Will and them dudes was out there playing in chucks. No, Doc said he slept. He said he never took the doors off. They didn't have the best massage therapist. Them niggas were smoking in the locker room. After the game. Am I lying? I'm telling the truth. They like, a motherfucker would go out and give you 40 and then have a cigarette like, while he doing his interview. Think about this. You had motherfuckers back in the day, they was doing lines of cocaine at halftime. Like, oh my, my game off. Break it out. I heard that for sure. You look at that. You had 23 after half. Getting over. Motherfuckers zoned in like an eagle. Yeah. My fucking rim this big. Like literally we did Vernon Maxwell. Vernon Maxwell said, no, I used to be off that white. Like, like I used to get to the bench and they knew to hand me the tissue because I got the cocaine booger snookers in my nose. So as soon as I get to the bench, they hand me the drill. I'm like, go right in. Like, score 90. Think about that. Score 90. How you think boys scored 90 back then, man? Think about that. They scored 90. This generation sucked. They scored 58 a night. They talking about partying. He's saying, partying, fuck your, uh, some people game up. He talking about after the game. Don't worry about it. These niggas was partying during the game. These niggas was having brewskis during the game. Give me a brewskis. Like, damn. Like, think about this. It's proof. If you watch the last dance, it was game six. They was in the gym shooting around. And they said, Mike, so Mike, what you do all day? It's game six of the finals. He said, I sat in my room and played the piano and drank some wine. Nigga, you drinking wine all day on the day of the finals? Think about that. He's different. He's built different. He ain't going out and cook shit. No, the whole generation back then was built differently. So when you really be like, y'all dudes is really soft when you really think about it. You dudes be missing games and y'all got the best massage therapists in the country. Y'all got all these joints you put on your body. Y'all got shit y'all lay down, y'all roll out like this and shit. They do this for half hour before they fucking play. They got, man, Doc and them ain't had none of that shit. They come right in some chucks in the layup line. Like, think about that. They didn't have none of that shit. They lay on the bench, motherfucker, throw some tape on the ankle, get my bootleg ass stretched. They ain't know nothing about all them stretches back then. Might go right out there. Then, think about all the stories of people. Who do this now in the league? They said we walked into the training room. Mike was in there. They played for the Phoenix Suns, too. They said, Mike said. Was that Cedric Sabalas? Your man Dan Marley getting 40 tonight. Yeah, there's nobody like that. They said, yeah, okay. Mike said, bet something. Hey, guys. It's Rian Fran. If you're looking for a cola that delivers, Pepsi Prebiotic Cola is it because nothing beats that great Pepsi taste. It's delicious. It has three grams of prebiotic fiber, five grams of sugar, just 30 calories and no artificial sweeteners. It honestly tastes like Pepsi with so much more to love. Tried it. Loved it. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola. You should pick some up if you haven't already. It's the perfect drink when you are ready to just relax, sit on the couch, watch a movie and enjoy a delicious Pepsi Prebiotic Cola. Mike gave them niggas 40 and then ran by the bitches having my money, nigga. But Mike and him was bent two, three hundred dollars. You ain't got nobody in the league like that no more. Y'all be bent 50,000. Think about that. You ain't got nobody that's coming to the game like, you getting 40 tonight. Ain't nothing you can do about it. Stop speaking like you was in the league back then. But I'm just saying it. You speaking like you was in the fucking league, man. Like back in the day, come on, man. Nobody that confident. Think about the mentality. Nobody that confident. Jordan was confident. Kobe was confident. Kobe was a killer. Those guys are confident. Kobe's a killer. They know exactly what they're going to get every single night. You guys don't even know what they're going to get every single night. Maybe Anthony Edwards might talk like that. Anthony Edwards might talk like that. Oh, Ant do, huh? So Ant a throwback. He a throwback. Do you respect Ant the most? One of the most. Him and Shea. Shea's a throwback too. Those two are the guys where I'm like, yeah, they got some heart. They play hard. They'll do anything to win. Who do you think better, Shea or Ant? Shea. Shea for sure. Do you think it's close? It's close. But then when you look at the accolades, you look at this, is it close? Shea got a championship. He got an MVP. All in the same year. That's like Jordan-esque. that is Jordan-like. You know what I'm saying? So, you never know. Like, I can have a great year this year and win a chip, whatever, what not. But, they run into us, it's going to be problems. We got their number this year. Y'all got Minnesota number? The number. And you guard Ant? Yeah. No, I guard Julius. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I got a, there's no one on the team that can, that can bang with him. So, I'll guard Julius. How you do against them? Great. There was one game that we were here, in-season tournament. Book get fouled out, I get fouled out, and we still win the game. And we went over there. How many times y'all played them this year so far? Three. So y'all three and out? Three, definitely two, for sure two. Because we definitely played them here, in-season tournament, we played them there. No book. And we beat them, no book. So y'all just got their number. Yeah, we got their number. I would love to see that matchup in the playoffs right now. Minnesota verse Phoenix how long you out brother two weeks three weeks when you come back get back to doing you will do 20.9 points how many rebounds five and a half a little five a little five how many steals he said little five how many how many how many steals a game 1.7 yeah one one point seven one probably one I think I kind of I kind of give Gil just got a steal on him Gil got a steal on Yeah, he got a steal. One of his stats is a steal. I did get a steal on you, though. I did. And like two rounds. And then you cashed a tray. Yep, cashed. Went back. I cashed a tray. You know what they call me? Cash is great. You like that? No, but if he would have been good, today I was just Chauncey Gillips. I was taking it easy on him. If he would have been a little better than what I thought, I would have went straight into Mike Gil Jordan mood. Yeah. You hear me? Yeah. Straight to it. All back down. Talk about. I would have showed them some incredible footwork. You hear me? Dealing with me in the offseason. Hey, come down here and show me that shit. It is just like that. Right?
