Know at that time with the
33:30
nose? Know that the tattoos. Ah,

The small is. Pretty. Much on
33:35
a cordon on most occasions. Like.
33:38
It is. It is crazy. Like. You.
33:40
Know ask you like why did you think he was
33:43
like this just because of how he played in the
33:45
way needs to get to be there and see him
33:47
in the in the where he played I mean this
33:49
do with he was little more he would always have
33:51
these big bruises on his hips and burst a second.
33:54
the heat ah if I'm not mistaken say started warned
33:56
this leads to the would fall on his elbow so
33:58
much they must are swollen up. In his
34:00
mouth, For. He was just beat up and he
34:02
was though he was saying where you know you want an
34:04
hour later rob if he wanted a later regard me as
34:07
a you see him kind the limp and around sit down
34:09
and then all of a sudden. He. Was
34:11
a retarded on my game. I beat up all
34:13
like that when they could take you down Me
34:15
my big fellows were taking the place sucks. Corn
34:17
lot. Come. Over and Ghajar fountain. you know
34:19
when the flavor know just how the game was played for
34:22
just to see his day to day. And.
34:24
And and the way he played in worked and then
34:26
Nina love you have For his family and his mom
34:28
was around it was just got a chance to see
34:30
him and I've been in although he wasn't related to
34:33
his ladle to the hood yeah and I think he
34:35
was a hook he's a her superstar here obviously an
34:37
M B A superstar but he was of later will
34:39
from that point he won your prototypical poster child for
34:41
I B I wrote but he was related to to
34:44
the inner city was at a dream to go back
34:46
in and play because you said you know you you
34:48
had those runs would bt and are you in front
34:50
of Dundee Nelson without a dream to kind of go
34:53
back as you know go. To status close the sack
34:55
I'm well I'm originally from a passes in the streets I
34:57
was actually born in San Jose. it was kind of in
34:59
that Bay area of area grown up and and with the
35:01
sack when I was ten so the be able to come
35:03
back to the bay and in the bay was always is
35:05
so dubbed him because I'm going to Sacramento. He
35:07
was on the move and in in some see the happened,
35:09
so we win this is a cow town on Easter and
35:11
I'm Italian a like, but I'm used. You.
35:13
Know plane else I with black kids making kid
35:16
asian kid who I go to Sacramento not our
35:18
neighborhood isn't that good. my parents always put mean
35:20
white schools in I mean I just never really
35:22
got never understood it till I got out and
35:24
as a whole nother story but I always felt
35:26
so much energy in the base of the be
35:28
at a comeback. Fast forward you know ten fifteen
35:30
years later and the team wasn't that good at
35:32
the time. but the fan bases always so amazing
35:34
browser that's why we took so much pride in
35:36
that we believe season because the give them hope
35:38
again and. Bessie. Was rocking them
35:40
that series vs. Dallas. I mean it.
35:43
You. Know it was crazy was Steve Kerr was
35:45
a commentator for Tnt at the time. In
35:48
the when I went back my last year and we
35:50
taught they haven't won that whole team When I went
35:52
back to gone stay for my last a year when
35:54
I finished in and and him in the team won
35:56
a championship. The players, the fans, the media the coaches
35:58
I will miss out We. The thing like that
36:00
if if like a miss out the here and
36:03
steep current you know said like I'm in a
36:05
we've we've we've run and we've won back to
36:07
backs and we fix I've never seen a proud
36:09
louder than that crowd be for those is so
36:11
new to them riding busting spoil them and now
36:14
they're in the now now though that that that
36:16
that the gentrification of the game to govern our
36:18
frisco and the prices are crazy but they were
36:20
smoking we brown a crowd yeah I mean like
36:22
it was just a was Oakland Oakland who a
36:25
real cold floor bro so it was dealt night
36:27

36:29
moto and mighty. Would tell some stories. Asset
36:31
you know we believe team and. You.
36:33

40:57
morphoses. wanna do all this murderer's You bring a
40:59
high queue with it but it's just like when
41:01
you hear that and amongst. The greatest
41:03
to ever play this game a kind of in this area
41:05
right now I had a that make you feel. Honestly
41:07
bro it it is a blessing Honestly because
41:09
like I I never approached the game I
41:11
was always felt like I was safe and
41:13
someone on you know I was trying to
41:16
chase and be like cold. Be like T
41:18
max. Ah, Those was you know the
41:20
guys I looked up to so. You. Know
41:22

41:24
would Now I'm here in the stories of
41:26
of kids have a similar. You. Know
41:28
approached Amicus a mean lesbian as they it
41:31
can be brought it could be yeah. T.
41:33
Daily be yeah know and I all of these
41:35
guys that they could really be like many the
41:38
my goat nice you arm is is be mean
41:40
as know but you know I just feel like
41:42
I've always tried to play the game right way.
41:44
I'm always try to play both sides. I.
41:47
Never credit. You know my soccer com
41:49
ago is been nice. Robin Awful from
41:51
the film. But. I'd never
41:53
let that impact. How I'm
41:55
gonna played again you not to me and are
41:57
and I feel. Best. It,
42:00
you know? To. Kind of resonate
42:02
with i you know a year we see
42:04
to flashiness we see. You. Know him
42:06
gone off at thirty forty point. Nice. But.
42:09
He still don't play to right way you'll
42:11
make i pass a single handed a ball
42:13
he know you know create opportunities. He's.
42:15
Already bow he's don't want people take the matchup
42:17
and guard. best player. Ah, so that's
42:19
kind of where I get out of it. More so
42:21
than anything is is. Like Manna I
42:23
just rock we how he approached your i went
42:25
on a media play again I love it I
42:28
love hearing yeah I'll as though. He
42:30
actually had that moment in and saw that
42:32
were Brad Miller I did wreath as my
42:34
yeah yeah yeah it it was It was
42:37
a crazy mommy plan against some and as
42:39
were plan he's like in all when I
42:41
make a shot if i sit out a
42:43
you tell dirty is that an hour but
42:45
it was like we plant like our i
42:47
haven't had that moment right while I'm playing
42:50
i someone been. In. Oh no.
42:52
In off. You. Know if a while
42:54
achatz or make assad magazine won't be as a
42:56
he like. My gonna lie we
42:58
will say I was always as it is is
43:00
is is it it's it's so real From a
43:02
standpoint of like like a tenure early we usually
43:04
I got a taste of it in college but
43:06
when you get up there and you're playing these
43:09
do like obviously when I golf fan boy I
43:11
like I'm a i'm a man like you but
43:13
it's just like be the people that like you
43:15
looked up to my now you're bumping with him
43:17
You know the meaning of you're you're out there
43:19
doing playing defense a hidden south on Mrs like.
43:22
Is. One of those moments mean I mean and
43:24
I think is dope because. You. Know
43:26
an era where people don't get respect I think
43:28
is is that is such a negative environmental but
43:31
for people to like them out and say. Like.
43:33
Your there's I think as dealt with I'm of I'm
43:35
a fanny A game and I know that you do
43:38
and I I love that you think along with all
43:40
your tool So it's just like the dope to see
43:42
you can get your flower than a day and age
43:44
where people hate on Stephen and Kd Ryan Braun all
43:47
the top row in America was dope. Precise.
43:49
Himself some at you talked about the We
43:51
Believe Warriors and you guys were a number
43:54
eight seed. You ended up beating Dallas who
43:56
was a number one seed but walk us
43:58
through that series. What was. Maybe one
44:00
thing about that series that most people don't
44:02
really talk about? We knew we were going
44:04
to beat Uncommon in we had success against
44:06
the regular season and you got the Nellie
44:08
kind of help build that T. You.
44:10
Mean so. We knew would
44:12
Dirk was going to do. This is the first time
44:14
the know he put deck. Me: He
44:17
bet with a with a dark with it drug
44:19
was a problem back then. if you were too
44:21
small you oppose you up If you are too
44:23
slow you go round to the we got like
44:25
were six eight you know to twenty to thirty
44:27
little stronger, more greedier. we started playing dark with
44:29
small forward. At the time we are small force
44:32
of the time plane a hall of famer and
44:34
every time we knew he was going to dribble
44:36
and spin the like we just took dark out
44:38
and nellie life. But. I don't know there
44:40
was some kind of beef with him leaving Dallas how
44:42
know who lives over some money or what the fuck happened
44:44
but there was fuck. Nellie just gave us that confidence that
44:47
like this is the game plan before the game I ever
44:49
going to be them for. We went in think you were
44:51
gonna win and we took game one in Dallas. not
44:53
a mean in there. After. That we
44:55
was wrong with that. the crescent core you get
44:57

Am a nice guy. He for naked like
57:36
that you know I sang bass, I was
57:38
crazy. Sack would tackle people naked and he
57:40
was a super. He would keep the energy
57:42
light and fun and then obviously you know
57:44
be serious when need. Of a sack with such
57:47
a cool I am I'm glad I'm us. I was
57:49
always a huge fan of obvious his like a run
57:51
in orlando run. I got the in run where he
57:53
was in the same player but just the person he's
57:55
a great person would do anything for anybody. We.
57:57
Spent a lot of time together in I got the. The
58:00
kid. Bring the kids over and hang out like
58:02
our families kicked his. Arms I was
58:04
ever it was blessed to be outta again that
58:06
the shack that we all loved him with a
58:08
killer but just to get to know him as
58:11
a man as a teammate. Super dope! I had
58:13
a teammate of I. Mean
58:15
I guess I'm I'm and as such as
58:17
I like allow as they sang during practice
58:19
somehow got lose fucking bike put up. You
58:21
know the story. three tiers on the stuff.
58:24
like to somehow set up as shit during
58:26
practice put all the way up on the
58:28
top tier outside the know how to as
58:30
if I don't I may go on. had
58:32
to be like coming from the city had
58:34
a computer I or him and put a
58:36
bike on the sunlight like what are you
58:38
doing bounties wow that was a slow well
58:40
feed him we know how great you know
58:42
sec worth his time in Phoenix. Work.
58:44
In hindsight, like. What
58:47
is the most are or what
58:49
is weirdly underrated about. Sex.
58:52
Dominance In In in what he's done.
58:54
In for the league he I To
58:56
me it's. He to me the
58:58
most dominant player and i say with all due respect
59:00
to will because i felt like he played in air
59:03
with it was more big night tonight and in in
59:05
in the competition with higher i mean sack in his
59:07
prime you can do no more certain than suit which
59:09
he still couldn't do nothing with up and couldn't do
59:11
nothing with the me with mean to he will check
59:14
he says lt his cooking them come little lan them
59:16
alam out like sack with on that owes the plane
59:18
in the old move on rules. Ah,
59:21
Me know he with you He was this.
59:23
Incredible. And I got to see it up close
59:25
parcel Been a you feel like you know mean been in
59:27
these l a clipper or give me Laker him and kings
59:30
robberies and in good to see sack in his prime and.
59:33
Toughening. Up to what I always loved
59:35
about the you always hear the stories to
59:37
about what he does for people like I
59:39
always looked out for people money wise, situation
59:41
wise I he was just a really really
59:43
good dude. He's. Awesome, credible player
59:45
right? right? Talk about like the larger
59:47
than like? yeah. Absolutely analysis done here.
59:49
You've mentioned a few times like the
59:52
old school he'd lay out which he
59:54
down. Why do you think from a
59:56
fan's perspective this is my opinion. Why?
59:59
Do you think that the and the A
1:00:01
has gotten you know so much softer like
1:00:03
in your career? You were known for being
1:00:05
a tough guy. You had a role, you
1:00:08
played hard, no defense, He played hard every
1:00:10
possession. And I'm just curious from your standpoint,
1:00:12
Is it more so just the rule change?
1:00:15
I. Feel like that's the easy way to like?
1:00:17
Say why the league's god softer because of the
1:00:19
rules, but I think there's a whole nother aspect
1:00:21
of. What's that Other aspect only
1:00:24
would would contribute it's I think it was a
1:00:26
business decision. Because. At the end of
1:00:28
the day of you think from a fan's perspective
1:00:30
you don't want to see and Nine The One
1:00:32
Eighty Nine defense above is no highlights there. You
1:00:34
know now people and rarely do people watch full
1:00:36
games. Are they watch highlights? Why? I want to
1:00:38
see staff soon from half I want to see
1:00:40
people drop. I'm fifty. Want to see Pg? Go
1:00:42
for sixty? Like I feel like. With
1:00:45
the rule change came. The.
1:00:48
Game became. More. Global. Because.
1:00:50
There's more highlights and it starts. you hear it all
1:00:52
over the place. Dog I feel like for real like
1:00:54
I think this is David Stearns vision. They don't know
1:00:56
how was gonna get there but it's a global game
1:00:58
now and I feel like because the uptick in and
1:01:00
in scoring you know there's a lot of scoring. In
1:01:02
scoring have a lot more. Fun! Than
1:01:05
than defense new I mean so as just
1:01:07
like baby really made it tough for defenders
1:01:09
to lock in a play defense because they
1:01:11
want people to drop, they want James Harden
1:01:13
go on his historical runs and Russell's ago
1:01:15
on his triple double. Bonus! It is more
1:01:18
fun than a Detroit Pistons lucky down. Hard.
1:01:20
Foul. New. Game. you know the
1:01:22
mean. So I mean I'm someone who obviously made a
1:01:24
living in a place fifteen years on on on being
1:01:27
kind of a three D guy before there was that
1:01:29
three indie label. But I mean I understand where seller
1:01:31
I would love to see more defense. I would love
1:01:33
to see guys compete because that spacing all star game
1:01:35
on there was an all star but I do think
1:01:37
best. It is disgusting Now and me the math how
1:01:40
you get hurt when you don't play hard and right.
1:01:42
You know that means I just wish people would this
1:01:44
be more. Competitive. Overall, but
1:01:46
you can't blame them because the rules allows
1:01:48
it to kind of go that way. Could
1:01:50
you pinpoint one rule? if you were going
1:01:52
to give the defense a little bit more
1:01:54
you know what are not. There's a rule,
1:01:56
but I think people like James Harden I
1:01:58
wouldn't. They messed it up. I think James
1:02:00
Horner so intelligent that he beat the game.
1:02:02
you know there was years and p you
1:02:05
know like he was good and fifteen to
1:02:07
eighteen three thousand night because he knew how
1:02:09
to draw fouls and kind of manipulate the
1:02:11
defensive rules with the hooking in. going to
1:02:13
the basket and doing it in whether you
1:02:15
hated or love it was effective for and
1:02:17
I feel like you know that kind of
1:02:19
was the kind of the transitioning point. I
1:02:21
think him when they kind of just stop
1:02:23
kinda you know as I as I was
1:02:25
as he was going. You. Know. Late.
1:02:28
Sixteen. Seventeen, Eighteen. Ah,
1:02:31
They just kind of stopped you can't in other
1:02:33
that kind of took the physicality me aggressiveness out
1:02:35
of the out of the defensive game in hand
1:02:38
and again I think it was because of. We.
1:02:40
Have some really skilled, talented guys and let
1:02:42
them let them be great. Let them go.
1:02:44
score all these points for that. Again, that
1:02:47
brings more eyeballs then. A defensive
1:02:49
battle this minute. So one other player
1:02:51
that we haven't discussed was Grant Hill
1:02:53
who is one of your favorite player
1:02:55
Me You had the opportunity to play
1:02:58
alongside him. But. How is that You
1:03:00
know? getting to me Grant Hill and have an
1:03:02
inopportune amazing with them and and see he's one
1:03:04
of the greatest. What if you know him Penny
1:03:06
you know you guys like that. Grant was so
1:03:08
cove bro ground with Cody was the fourth time
1:03:10
is a triple double machine. you can do nothing
1:03:12
with the might can do nothing with them. Pip
1:03:14
can do that like nobody could do any with
1:03:16
a good do you want to do and duke
1:03:18
these get extra hate for no reason right and
1:03:20
I like Jj until I phone Jaffa goods as
1:03:22
a now but I just in like and co
1:03:24
the of the due to with a do. By.
1:03:27
See Hill was so cool and it was just such
1:03:29
a kind of crazy opportunity to them. You know this
1:03:31
is I've I've I lose, only played one real you're
1:03:33
in the league after that we believe. see the my
1:03:36
mom died ever seen only play that whole season that
1:03:38
I'm in Phoenix I've really haven't established myself. I had
1:03:40
a good run with them than I followed it up
1:03:42
with the my mom died and I didn't really have
1:03:44
a good season. The find yourself. On.
1:03:47
There, But I'm on. I'm missing because I know. With.
1:03:49
Can be my last opportunity. Thought com a
1:03:52
new and and just try to. Impose.
1:03:54
My will on everything playing ball to
1:03:57
the war plan and and grants was
1:03:59
starting to start. The to start the
1:04:01
season arm and man at some point or
1:04:03
member who was but I started at three.
1:04:06
And I'm thinking like one of my favorite players are
1:04:08
you know could have been one of the greatest era
1:04:10
but. More. Than a bass
1:04:12
player great person whom you know them into. Such
1:04:14
a great do I was kind of like surreal
1:04:17
like gone from. My. Fave one of
1:04:19
my favorite players to you know me not even have him
1:04:21
be an elite arm with and I when you say beat
1:04:23
them out it was as he was older. United.
1:04:25
Means I got a chance to go from you know, kind of
1:04:27
backing him up to starting and I was just like whoa. And
1:04:30
a crazy busy here was dope. Like I
1:04:32

1:04:34

1:05:25
a in a suit. Ah monsieur to
1:05:27
jump shots left handed like either, right
1:05:29
hander from half core with no effort.
1:05:32
Required. A core from his ass though like he
1:05:34
was is different. You have one in golf. Like.
1:05:37
Vince does it all. Just one of those incredible. Athletes
1:05:40
and I am. It.
1:05:42
Was an honor to kind of get to see that. Neither.
1:05:45
Neither just to see and credible dunks
1:05:47
and an incredible scoring. Arm and
1:05:49
another one and another kudu which a the when
1:05:51
he's would dare forty eight points with a more
1:05:53
on his the hornets this incredible. I mean I've
1:05:55
just I mean I'm not seen him hit so
1:05:57
many big shots for us and land in in.
1:06:00
In. Practice him in in over his career
1:06:02
as a fan M M M he
1:06:05
was he was different from here down
1:06:07
and will it was Vince on our
1:06:09
team. This. Is like two thousand and nine
1:06:11
or ten for that time. I'm twenty nine thirty, and
1:06:13
I think Vince has maybe five years six years older
1:06:15
than me. Okay, or he may be pushing on fifty
1:06:17
right at the at now. So he has. May he's
1:06:19
by may be. Enough. Backside.
1:06:22
Maybe thirty three, thirty four the time. Ada. You.
1:06:25
I mean you had a chance. You know he spoke
1:06:27
about player with a eyes football player. we cope. Ah,
1:06:30
I'm grad here I would. You may.
1:06:33
Just. Be so much different Light because he had
1:06:35
athleticism but he had to fitness two year he
1:06:37
was skilled skier he's just one of the most
1:06:40
i've been god gifted athlete i've ever seen but
1:06:42
then he worked in the and he was very
1:06:44
skilled yo I mean again he suit jump shots
1:06:46
with his left and a look like as right
1:06:48
handling. I can barely do anything left handed to
1:06:51
me like it's just he was one of them
1:06:53
do that a lot of football and lot of
1:06:55
basketball and it was as big as hands adjusts
1:06:57
and dog and job and that's it. Off the
1:06:59
ram he was is different I think not everyone
1:07:02

1:07:04
events for tar but he had a
1:07:06
lot a god given as Madison obtain

1:12:33
years of his life. So now you are
1:12:35
with with Lakers and you with Phil Jackson
1:12:37
in this. One. Of
1:12:39
the this is the close enough Phil Jackson's
1:12:42
time where melee was some experiences as you
1:12:44
can tell us about your time philippines gone
1:12:46
for three peat and Co is hell bent

1:12:51
When his oath and be I got to sit if they would
1:12:53
join. Join. Has six rings, Kobe, five
1:12:55
know, This. Was his goal was
1:12:57
to get that last ring and this is
1:12:59
I mean it was cool to see Fear
1:13:02
me feel you tell a bath he feels
1:13:04
feet of. A
1:13:06
series of the else is for you know if
1:13:08
he knew he was a master pick up putting
1:13:10
people's been so he's the fuck around. our test
1:13:12
and when they run went off on a myth
1:13:14
that you fucking fuck up it easier when a
1:13:16
second have analyst like went off on his feet
1:13:18
as fear was found a fuck what I'm and
1:13:20
pushes buttons but nothing was crazy bro that that
1:13:23
was a transitioning from like the bus family not
1:13:25
really known who's going own the team. Gym kind
1:13:27
of stepped into the rain to the time and they
1:13:29
were was like oh shit like here we go in
1:13:31
a coma Sonic Sls ring at the end the season
1:13:33
feel has a sand and intel this he as you
1:13:35
know he has some health problems and that's why is
1:13:38
gonna step away from the game analysis like so much.
1:13:41
Riding. On that season in In I tore
1:13:43
out of my only knee injury. I tore my
1:13:45
meniscus that year and without. right? Up until
1:13:47
the playoffs and. That. Was the of
1:13:49
the Dallas on their run. Like I think one of the
1:13:51
toughest run. They smacked us. I think in a sec around
1:13:53
they swept us. I went through our
1:13:55
of they put with a plane or western conference
1:13:57
and then they went in a beating miami. The
1:14:00
finals but. It. Was just so
1:14:02
much riding on their season in the next year.
1:14:05
Feel. Thing about coming back. For. Some
1:14:07
reason gym doesn't like in doesn't give feel the proper
1:14:09
amount of time to respond and goes and hi Mike
1:14:11
Brown and Nasa with a disaster and I think even
1:14:14
Michael tell you think Mike learned a lot getting an
1:14:16
opportunity to go to Golden State and be under that
1:14:18
to live but his year was just like. He.
1:14:20
He released a feals way in my way is different
1:14:23
and then and he def it in have the respect
1:14:25
the locker room and i was counting the beginning of
1:14:27
or that kind of the end. I. Felt
1:14:29
of cove window to possibly whenever they

1:27:54
like everyone was just really fascinated with the
1:27:56

you're actually going to be coaching one of Paul's team. Yeah, man. Yeah,
1:30:07
man. I'm in the family now, man. No, it was
1:30:09
just, I mean, Pete's always been super gracious. He
1:30:12
used to send our team shoes for the twins and
1:30:14
we used to always look out for the twins. And,
1:30:17
you know, we built a real good program, you know, national
1:30:19
championships with eighth graders, but our program wasn't big enough to
1:30:21
go to EYBL. So we merged
1:30:23
with his 15U and so I'm over
1:30:26
there coaching now. So I appreciate
1:30:28
the opportunity. You know what I mean? Yes, sir.
1:30:31
You know, help, you know, continue to help build this legacy
1:30:33
off the court with you and your family and I'm
1:30:35
definitely looking forward to the opportunity, man. Yes, sir. I
1:30:38
need them new PGs now, though. We're going to
1:30:40
keep you late. I'm a 14. I
1:30:43
got you. I don't know how that slipped my mind. I
1:30:45
forgot all about that that we brought you over. We
1:30:48
appreciate you, bro, man, for real, because we
1:30:50
do got something special going on. The
1:30:53
young guys have been playing their asses off.
1:30:55
And I've been amazed. I went to a
1:30:58
couple of the tournaments this past summer and
1:31:00
got a chance to watch them. You
1:31:02
know, we had Carter Bryant, we had
1:31:06
Jace Richardson. They're going on. They
1:31:08
kind of started the foundation for us.
1:31:11
Shout out to those guys that that unit that
1:31:14
kind of put us on the map to
1:31:17
be where we are now. So
1:31:19
I mean, I know the twins is going to turn up. They're going
1:31:21
to take us to a whole other level. They're versatile, bro. They
1:31:24
play it all. How tall are they? They're
1:31:26
about 6'1", 6'2". They could shoot the ball, but
1:31:28
what's crazy was one of them spraying their wrist.
1:31:31
And we went and got to a hand and foot
1:31:33
specialist in Brentwood. And you know, good news, only a
1:31:35
bone bruise. Better news. And
1:31:38
they're like, what? You have huge, I've never seen growth plates in
1:31:40
a hand like this. So he gets
1:31:42
excited. Like, what's that mean? I'm like, Doc, can you give us
1:31:44
height? So he's like, yeah, actually, when you're done, come back. They
1:31:46
measure like six, one and a half, measure
1:31:48
the growth plates, put it on this little calculation. He's like, I don't want to
1:31:51
get you to a side, but you guys are going to be about 6'10". I'm
1:31:54
like, what? So I'm 6'8" In
