2:18

Let's get into this episode. The Dubs win too

2:21

straight on the Florida Swing Man,

2:24

the Florida Swing is tough. This year, Orlando

2:27

has gotten better. They're a playoff team.

2:29

Uh.

2:29

They got those young guys which we've talked about

2:31

in Paolo and from who

2:34

I think you know their futures,

2:38

which we'll get into in a minute. But

2:41

coming down and getting those two wins, especially

2:43

after a tough home stretch, was very

2:46

important, especially with the standings and

2:49

with Tarry Easton's Houston Rockets

2:53

trailing us for

2:55

a play in spot. It

2:57

was an important couple of games for us to

3:00

start the trip off. Going to

3:02

Minnesota, which was a tough loss. We led

3:04

the whole way and

3:07

weren't able to close that game out in the fourth

3:09

quarter. They had a big fourth quarter. We

3:11

just weren't able to close that game out. And

3:14

to come down to the on the Florida

3:16

Swing where Miami is Miami.

3:18

We all know who Miami is.

3:20

Regardless of who they have on the floor, always

3:23

going to be a tough game. Bams

3:26

playing great basketball and

3:30

you know the Miami He just always found those guys.

3:32

Hey what Heismith was getting off. I'm

3:35

not sure where he came from,

3:38

what's his backstory, but he's

3:40

just another one of those guys that

3:42

Miami had found, and then coming into

3:44

Orlando, a team that yet young team

3:46

who's always motivated to play against

3:48

us, coming in on the back to back, which

3:50

is always tough. It's like it's always Orlando

3:54

on the back to back, Orlando on the front of him, back

3:56

to back, like it's always something and

3:58

I hate that it always gets schedule like that,

4:00

but that is the nature of it. I

4:02

think that'll start to change as Orlando keep

4:04

getting better. You know, you're gonna have these young guys in the playoffs

4:07

this year and not

4:09

sure if you are. No, But the NBA

4:11

schedule is based on

4:14

a national TV schedule, so the national

4:16

TV ESPN, TNT,

4:20

ABC, they all get to pick the

4:22

games that they want and then the schedule is filled

4:24

in around that. Obviously, we've

4:26

had a million national TV games

4:29

over the last ten years

4:31

due to the Steph Curry effect, and

4:35

Orlando hasn't had a bunch of them.

4:37

I think they have won this year. But so.

4:42

In theory, like the Orlando game

4:44

always just get kind of slid onto the schedule

4:48

around Miami, which is normally a national

4:50

TV game, So it just kind of always gets slipped

4:52

in there because you're on the Florida Swing.

4:54

And it just always makes it a tough game.

4:56

Like I said, I think as these young guys continue

4:58

to show and become

5:01

household names in this league, like I think Paulo

5:03

Ben Carroll will, which I

5:05

said years ago before he was drafted,

5:09

always been a big fan of Paulo Ben Carrol

5:12

thought he was undoubtedly the

5:14

number one pick in his draft. He's

5:16

shown that continues to grow. Had

5:19

a conversation with Gary Harris, who's my

5:21

young fellow Michigan State, Go Green,

5:24

Go White, and Gary was confirming

5:27

to me more of what I thought, which is, like, n Paulo

5:29

is a serious guy, he's mature, doesn't

5:32

quite act like he's twenty one years old.

5:35

And he said something to me that I

5:38

don't doubt one.

5:39

Bit and that I thought from the

5:41

beginning, which was, yeah,

5:44

Dre, he'll probably be an All Star the rest of his career.

5:46

Like he's just figuring it out. And as

5:49

he figures it out, it's like he's more and more

5:52

motivated. And it's already a motivated kid.

5:54

Like he's from Seattle. We know

5:58

the roots that's been laid that,

6:00

we know his upbringing, we know he's had

6:03

guys like Jamal Nate,

6:06

you know, and Brandon like all of those guys

6:08

around just to show you how to

6:10

be a pro. And so with

6:13

Paulo, he already got a leg up in

6:16

that aspect, which is huge, especially

6:18

coming to a team that don't really have many veterans.

6:20

They got G which I think to have Gary

6:23

Harris around as big for that team because

6:25

G is a stable guy. He's been in

6:27

the league for ten years now, He's well respected

6:29

by everybody in the league and he's a pro,

6:32

and so I think that's great for those guys, you

6:34

know, having Joe Ingles this year, but

6:37

you know, and just having a young team like that

6:39

with not many veterans, that

6:42

upbringing is huge for Paolo because

6:45

in a sense, you you've already

6:48

been shown what it's like to be a pro.

6:51

And that is the benefit of having guys like

6:53

Jamal Crawford from your city. That's giving

6:55

back to the young guys and showing

6:57

them the way. And so I think

7:00

this team will become a household name,

7:02

you know, as the years go and those guys continue

7:04

to get better, and hopefully that game

7:07

won't be slid in to the schedule

7:09

like it's always been. It's almost like it's not a

7:11

priority and it makes it tough. And

7:15

we've had a tough go here and so it's

7:18

good to get win. Last night, however,

7:21

I got ejected four minutes into the game.

7:24

M just

7:26

can't do it. Regardless of what was said.

7:28

I'm not about to get into what was said because

7:31

that's irrelevant to STEP's

7:33

point.

7:33

I have to be on the floor and whatever that means,

7:37

you just have to do that.

7:39

I look at this, I'm not overreacting to

7:41

this because of everything that happened in

7:43

the beginning of the season. You

7:45

know, I feel like since I've returned,

7:49

everything's headed in the right direction. And hit a

7:51

little bump in the road, get over it and keep going.

7:54

Extremely grateful that my guys helped

7:56

me down. It's a very important game for us and

7:58

for them to go out and get a trace played unbelievable

8:01

basketball. Andrew Wiggins took over the game

8:03

in the fourth quarter, and Steph Curry sent

8:05

everybody night night as he does.

8:08

Klay Thompson tough

8:11

back to back man, you know, playing thirty

8:13

plus minutes starting for the first time

8:15

in a long time at Miami,

8:17

coming out getting twenty eight, then coming back the

8:20

next night and giving us huge

8:22

minutes, knocking shots down, spacing the floor.

8:24

Clay got off to a really good start.

8:26

Which got us going, got us out running,

8:28

hit some shots got out in transition, and

8:30

that changed everything. I thought it was huge to see

8:32

Clay back into the lineup, not

8:35

that BP did anything wrong. You know, sometimes

8:37

you just need something different, and we all

8:40

know what Clay brings to the table. What Clay

8:42

brings to the table, nobody else

8:45

brings to the table in the history

8:48

of basketball. There's

8:50

facts to back that up. You

8:52

know, sixty to three quarters

8:55

thirty seven in a quarter, No one

8:57

in history brings that to

9:00

be a game. So with what Clay

9:02

brings, it just brings a different thing and

9:04

we saw it shine through in

9:08

a major way these

9:11

last two games. And that's a big call from

9:13

Steve Kerr. Huge call from Steve

9:15

Kurr. That's coaching at his finest right there you talking

9:19

because when certain things like that happen

9:23

where Clay goes to the bench, right, that's

9:25

a monumental move. Everybody's talking about

9:27

it. First time in twelve years

9:30

he's come off the bench. Blah blah blah.

9:32

When you do things like that, not

9:35

that Steve stuck his foot in his mouth. But

9:38

in theory, you kind of stick your

9:40

foot in your mouth because now it's a

9:42

big story. And

9:44

so then when you go back to it, it's like, oh, look at that,

9:47

And so many people would be afraid to

9:49

go back to it just for that reason.

9:52

And that's why I always say, like, Steve

9:54

is unbothered by anything, like he's

9:56

unfazed. So most coaches

9:59

would be like, ah, but we went away

10:01

from it, and now what are they going to say, ababa or they're

10:03

going to pick this apart. Steve doesn't

10:05

get off into Steve is just going to make the best

10:07

decision for the team at all times. And

10:10

the beauty of that we were talking, remember we

10:12

were talking a couple episodes

10:14

ago around Memphis and how you can follow

10:16

your coach. The beauty in that is that

10:18

is the unfazedness by Steve,

10:21

the unbotheredness that is that by

10:23

Steve, where it's just like I'm unbothered by anything.

10:26

I'm just standing these moments, making

10:28

these decisions. And that's just because he's

10:30

never rattled by anything. That's

10:32

all a product of that. And so I

10:35

said, man, that's coaching. That's that's coaching. At

10:37

his finest. That's why Steve Curry is who he is.

10:39

That's why he is the highest

10:42

paid coach in NBA history.

10:44

That's why he has four championships

10:46

and what was it

10:49

was four championships in ten years or something

10:51

like that, like, that's

10:54

why he is one of the most winningest

10:56

people in basketball history. For

11:00

four championships as a coach,

11:02

five as a player.

11:03

One of the most winningest people in NBA history.

11:06

That's why because he's just unfazed and the move

11:09

like that joke to us, and all

11:11

of a sudden, we two games on

11:13

this road trip. Obviously, like I said, the Minnesota

11:15

one got away, but it sets us up to possibly

11:17

have a four to one road trip if we go take take

11:20

advantage. And that's a huge trip coming

11:22

off the home stand

11:24

that we had. Uh and at this

11:26

point in the season, so shout out to Stevie Kerr.

11:29

A big move getting Klay Thompson back in

11:31

that game, and uh yeah, back

11:33

to getting kicked out the game. It

11:36

just can't happen. I said what I said,

11:38

I deserve to get kicked out at that point. And

11:40

what I said, if I'm all the way honest with seat, I

11:42

kind of was trying to turn my body and angle and

11:44

go to the bench. And I said what I said,

11:46

like a little too soon before angling my body

11:49

to the bench. But yeah,

11:52

it just can't happen. And you

11:54

know, uh

11:56

that, like we need to

11:58

win games. So like I said,

12:02

not going to overreact, like oh man, like

12:06

stuff is never as good as it seems, is never as

12:08

bad as it seems. Like I know where I am,

12:10

I understand what

12:13

I'm doing, moving for and

12:16

in my position.

12:17

Just make sure.

12:19

That

12:21

that's the exception and not the rule.

12:23

And so moving on, And

12:25

like I said, shout out to my brothers for holding

12:27

me down and getting that win. Need

12:29

to go get a couple more wins. The wins

12:32

were big because of the playoff race. Everyone's

12:35

been blowing my phone up, so I must speak about

12:37

this because

12:40

of the playoff race. Tarry

12:43

Easton's had comments. Now, as

12:46

you all know that our fans of this show, Draymond

12:49

Green show.

12:49

I am a big Tarry Easton fan.

12:53

Why would he come out and make a video telling

12:55

the Warriors to come out and play. Everybody in Houston

12:57

had a heart attack when he did that, because

13:00

that's just.

13:01

That's Houston is a tough place.

13:03

To talk to us, you know, like when you look

13:05

at Memphis and what happened with Memphis

13:07

a couple of years ago, like

13:11

that Memphis was already a tough place

13:13

to talk to us, like when you lose to a team

13:15

in the playoffs when it matters the most, and

13:17

like especially at the height of like you

13:21

know, with them doves with like the height when you

13:23

lose it, like it's tough to talk to

13:25

us because that's

13:27

what matters. And so when you start

13:29

talking, everybody just look back, like, bro,

13:32

you can't talk to him because of that. And so

13:34

shout out to the young fella, you

13:37

know, coming out to my Warriors, come out and play.

13:39

We need to get him.

13:41

And you know, he got to come to the bank and getting

13:43

getting sync better with that because

13:46

you know, the chat's a

13:48

little more sync than he was. But

13:53

like I said, a part of the reason that I liked Tar

13:55

Easton is that he would come out and do that, Like

13:57

that's when I saw it. I was surprised

14:00

at all. I am a little surprised that he

14:02

hasn't played in the game since January first,

14:05

and so it's kind of

14:07

tough to come out yelling, come out

14:09

and play and you're not gonna play.

14:15

It puts a lot of strain on your guys,

14:17

like you can't get out there and help them.

14:22

But I respect it. I respect

14:24

it. Uh.

14:26

I mean, it's a big moment

14:28

for their franchise. You know, they're they're

14:30

on there, you know, you

14:33

know, on the trails of the player, and it's a big moment

14:35

for the franchise.

14:36

So I get it.

14:37

It's been a while, but I'm telling you,

14:39

it's a lot of people in

14:42

Houston, City of Houston, which

14:44

I love Houston, by the way, it's great city.

14:49

I love the place.

14:50

A lot of people that are scratching their head, like I'm

14:52

on, Tarry, We've seen this movie

14:54

before, so I thought

14:56

that was funny, nothing more than nothing

14:59

less, and that while we were wind and now moving

15:01

back to where we were headed, which is the

15:03

minor game.

15:04

Like I said, those.

15:05

Guys JJ and Bron, they breaking down the

15:07

game, They breaking down action. They having

15:10

a high level of basketball conversation that

15:12

quite frankly, most people probably

15:14

won't understand, but they're doing a good job of breaking

15:16

it down to you. And I saw them talking

15:19

about our split cuts. When

15:22

Steve introduced this concept of the split

15:24

cuts, it

15:27

took a while to build the chemistry on it because

15:29

it's a field thing, and so it's

15:32

all read and react. If I do this and

15:34

they do that, then you do this and if they do

15:36

that move and it's

15:39

like a quarterback reading like you

15:42

got your first read, you got your second read, you got

15:44

your third read, you got your fourth

15:46

freed. The interesting

15:48

thing about it is like layers

15:51

and layers and layers, And as time has

15:53

went on, we've just layered the split

15:55

cut more and more. It started as just a pinion,

15:57

God come off, God died. There's

16:00

so many other layers to the split cuts

16:02

now because its like again, it's

16:04

like a progression of a quarterback, like you've

16:06

read all right, next guy, next guy up.

16:09

You see sometimes like a quarterback come

16:11

to go across the field scanning their

16:14

progressions, come all the way back like

16:16

that's like the split cut. Which is why I enjoy

16:18

being the passer and the split cut, because

16:20

it's just fun, like you're watching everything

16:22

develop from the lowest point of the floor, like

16:25

your lower than just about everybody. And

16:27

now at times you got that guy on the week side

16:29

which Brown was talking about KD where you

16:32

skipped to the week side shooter, but

16:34

you always want that guy that lifts on to

16:36

give you that angle to pass it.

16:38

So in theory, you are the lowest

16:40

guy on the floor.

16:41

And if you think about that from a defensive perspective,

16:43

the lowest guy on the floor is the most important guy on the

16:45

floor. Why because he's the back

16:47

line of the defense. He sees everything, and

16:50

so in the split cut, I'm the lowest guy on the

16:52

floor. When I'm the passer, I can see

16:54

everything developed and sometimes

16:56

you just see the breakdown happening. You're like, Okay,

16:58

okay, I'm about to get him up book got

17:00

him there. It goes and you

17:03

know, that's been a staple in our

17:07

offense since Steve Kirk came ten years ago.

17:09

And like I said, when he first put the split cuts

17:11

in, it was one of those things.

17:13

And it goes back to.

17:15

The ball movement that he incorporated in our offense,

17:17

which was like, yo, Steve,

17:19

you got us like keep passing the ball. But like Stephan

17:21

Klay is supposed to get a lot of shots. And

17:24

I remember very clearly

17:27

him saying, the

17:29

guys who's supposed to get the shots are good. The ball's

17:32

going to find him and we're all like, man going with

17:34

that Steve Man, that ain't going to work what you're

17:36

talking about, And sure

17:39

enough we started to pick that offense up

17:41

over the first suple weeks and you like, man,

17:43

the ball really find Stephan Clay like

17:45

it was very interesting, and the split

17:47

Custer kind of the same thing.

17:49

Like I said, it's just been layer of building.

17:51

And to

17:53

Bron's point, when KD came, I don't

17:55

even think it was necessarily about putting a shooter

17:58

on that week's side, because number

18:00

one, KD is far more than

18:02

just a shooter. KD scores at basketball,

18:07

but that definitely makes a difference. But even if

18:09

you don't have a shooter on

18:12

that week's side, we also came up with another

18:14

couple of things that even if it wasn't a shooter

18:16

on that week side, you could still skip it to that

18:18

guy and move on to the next action. And

18:21

so that's again, that's the layers

18:23

of it, and there's plenty of layers to it.

18:25

But yeah, now Bron caught a

18:27

lot of hell with them split cuts

18:30

over the years. You know, Bron liked to play quarterback

18:32

until his point. He's like, you gotta watch his eyes sometimes

18:34

you gotta look Bron off a little bit and boom, And

18:38

it's always fun with that having that chess

18:40

match with bron because he is, like Ed

18:42

Reid over their best free safety. Ever,

18:46

I can't really I feel like I'm an incredible

18:48

free safety myself, but bron

18:51

Is is a great free safety and obviously

18:53

he reads the game as well as anyone, and.

18:55

He's over there.

18:56

He's always trying to get to the backside of that

18:58

split and put himself in the up. But

19:02

there's ways that there's been ways to manipulate

19:05

Bron two in the backside because you know he's

19:07

trying to read it all so it gets

19:09

interesting. But the split cuts are

19:11

a staple. They're tough to guard, and

19:13

like I said, one of the reasons that it's toughest

19:15

thing the guard is because it's just a read and reacting

19:18

like so you can't quite script

19:20

it. Like in the NBA defense,

19:23

you script what you want to give up. You know, you

19:25

like, we're taking this away, this, this, this, and this, But

19:27

the reality is the NBA, so you can't take away

19:29

everything. So you have to choose,

19:32

like, all right, if we're going to lose to them, we're

19:34

willing to die by this and

19:36

sometimes seems kill you with that, but more

19:39

often than not, you're gonna win. Uh

19:41

if you execute that planning and

19:44

with the split cuts, you can you can

19:46

discuss what the patterns are, but at the end of the day,

19:48

once it's starts happening, it's still on

19:50

your players to read the situation

19:53

and react.

19:54

To what's happening.

19:54

And as they're reading, there's a lot

19:57

of moving pieces coming around and they're trying

19:59

to make those reads and it gets tough. And

20:01

so yeah, it was cool to see

20:03

Bron and JJ discuss the splits, knowing

20:07

the hell that has caused Bron over the years.

20:09

Although I'm like Tarry Easton or they beat us in

20:11

the playoffs last year, so maybe I shouldn't talk

20:14

nah nah that goal. That battle

20:17

go too far back, that that ain't

20:19

stopping with one playoff loss. But

20:21

yeah, so shout out

20:23

to them with that, you

20:27

know. And me looking at the NBA, I think when

20:30

I think of the toughest actions to guard

20:33

in the NBA, what would they be? Anytime

20:36

you put somebody on in a single side

20:38

tax situation that's always tough. That

20:40

would be like if say, if I'm Stephan I'm on

20:42

the left side of the floor. You got Draymond

20:45

rolling in the set of screen and

20:47

he's diving steps coming off to his right hand,

20:49

and you got Clay on the same

20:51

side of the floor that

20:54

the screen is now going away from,

20:56

which means that puts Clay's.

20:58

Man in a single side tag

21:00

position.

21:01

Single side meaning there's one guy over there,

21:03

so you don't have another guy to X

21:06

out in what we call so if it's two

21:08

guys on that side, if one guy go help, the

21:10

one guy has to drop a bit and take the first

21:12

pass out and play two. If

21:15

you put a guy on a single side, there's no X

21:18

so you have to make that guy go

21:21

tag the roller. So it would be me rolling

21:23

or Trace rolling or jk rowling or

21:25

somebody rolling. You have that guy

21:28

has put in a situation where he has to go tag

21:30

the roller mean and go in and bump the roller.

21:32

So ideally you want him

21:34

to start in.

21:37

Because you start in, it's a one way close out

21:39

mean and I start there, I get my bump, I start

21:41

to exit as I get my bump. That makes

21:43

your clothes out shorter. The reality is

21:45

you put a guy like Klay Thompson on the week's side

21:47

and you're not starting in because you scared as hell to

21:49

leave his body, and so that's single

21:52

side tag. To me, that's always one

21:54

of the toughest actions to guard because you just put

21:56

that guy in in the blender and

21:59

he gotta figure I can get this tag

22:01

and get back to the shooter. And if it's lay Thompson

22:03

who only need that much space to get a shot off,

22:06

it makes it tough on that single side tag.

22:08

And then you just you kind of play with

22:11

Clay. You move them up and down, you

22:13

know, higher up in the slot, you

22:16

know, on the wing, to the corner, like

22:18

you move that guy based on where you want

22:20

to tag to be or not to be, to

22:23

make that tag tougher and the longer close out.

22:25

So to me, I

22:27

think that's always going to be one of the

22:29

toughest actions to guard, just

22:31

because it's no helping you put

22:34

guys in a two on one situation. In the NBA,

22:36

the two on one should should win out more

22:38

often than not. And

22:41

so I think for me, that's one that I would look

22:43

at and I would say, are one of the toughest

22:45

actions to guard.

22:48

But yeah, that was from Mind the Game

22:50

episode two.

22:52

Uh buttassas Jackson for a mailbacks

22:55

segment before we get out of here and I head

22:57

on make our way to Charlotte.

23:00

All right, let's start with from

23:05

at Jake Steak. Kaylyn

23:07

Clark was offered five million dollars from ice

23:09

Cube to join the Big Three over the summer.

23:11

Do you think she should take that?

23:15

I mean, it depends on what the goals are, right, Like,

23:17

Kayln Clark is gonna make plenty of money,

23:20

so there's no need

23:22

to money grab. What's the downside

23:24

of that? The downside of that is

23:26

Kayln Clark go to play in the Big Big

23:29

Three, and those guys in the Big

23:31

Three, like, it's not like

23:34

sorry basketball players in the Big Three.

23:36

It's guys that's playing in the NBA.

23:38

It's guys that are still actively

23:40

playing overseas, like these

23:42

guys getting to it in the Big Three. If Kayln

23:44

Clark doesn't perform well

23:47

due to that, then

23:50

what's the conversation?

23:52

And so I think it does more harm than good

23:54

for Kaitlyn Clark.

23:56

I think it'd be groundbreaking for ice Cube to get

23:58

her in the Big Three. I think there's a zero

24:00

percent chance that it happens because Kaitlyn

24:03

Clark would need percentage

24:05

of the lead, because that's the only way it can make Like,

24:07

it only makes sense if if

24:10

like the amount of money that she can make

24:12

grows, and like you can't put

24:14

a cap to it. But for her just to

24:16

take five million dollars to do what comes

24:18

with that, it just doesn't make sense. That

24:20

also falls during the NBA c WNBA

24:23

season, so how is she going to

24:25

play? So logistically it just doesn't

24:27

make sense. So does she opt out of the WNBA

24:29

and gonna play in the Big Three? Maybe

24:31

one day the Big Three reaches that point, I

24:33

don't think it quite makes sense right now unless

24:36

you make that a financial thing where she can

24:38

make a bunch of money. But five

24:41

million dollars, unfortunately, is just not

24:43

enough. It doesn't

24:46

make sense. And I'm sure whoever is

24:48

behind Kaitlyn Clark is thinking about

24:50

building a brand, not grab some money.

24:54

You're looking to grab some money and you're Kaitlyn Clark,

24:56

Kaitlyn Clark should fire you today if

24:59

you're representation Clark and

25:01

you're like, hey, Kaitlyn, by the way, I got this. If

25:04

Kaitlyn Clark probably should fire you for bringing

25:06

that idea to her, because you shouldn't even put

25:09

that idea in front of Kaitlyn Clark's face.

25:11

The amount of money that Kaylyn Clark has made

25:13

and is going to make makes no

25:16

sense for her to risk that.

25:19

And I'm a big ice Q fan and wanted to see

25:21

the league do well. But just giving

25:24

you the truth, as you know you're going to get on the Draymond

25:26

Green show, that may just

25:28

not enough money for Clayland Kaitlyn Clark.

25:30

The risk isn't worth the reward. And

25:33

Kaylyn Clark is growing.

25:35

To WNBA in the women's game,

25:38

and the only way Kaitlyn Clark can continue

25:40

to grow the women's game is to go

25:42

play in the WNBA now playing a Big three.

25:45

So that's my spill

25:47

on that, all.

25:49

Right, Next question from at Samel

25:52

the league needs more Draymond Green type of players.

25:54

All this friendly stuff isn't good for the game. It

25:56

takes away the competitiveness. What are your

25:59

thoughts on that?

26:00

Ah, I mean, I'm never going to

26:02

argue what you say in the league need more me,

26:05

but in saying that, I think the game is very competitive.

26:08

I think regardless of guys or friends or

26:10

not, you're going to compete. Like

26:13

I always go back to bron me

26:15

and Brian are great friends. I want to take his head

26:17

off every time we play. Like that's

26:19

just the reality. He want to take my head off. It's

26:22

not literal like meaning

26:25

I want to do whatever I got to do to win. He wants

26:27

to do whatever you gotta do. The win doesn't

26:29

affect our friendship. Michael

26:31

Jordan and Charles Barkley was friends

26:33

in the nineties. Like guys

26:36

were friends. They golf together before games.

26:39

There's just this logic of friendships

26:41

just starting the NBA stop, like

26:44

you just see them on social media more.

26:46

Those guys didn't have social media, You didn't

26:48

know their lives. You get to see

26:50

more of our lives, so you think, and then

26:53

the older guys fall into the tripol like, oh they

26:55

friends, Like y'all been friends too, man, Like,

26:57

you don't just play in this league and not pick up friends

27:00

on the way height.

27:02

It doesn't make sense.

27:04

So, yeah, guy's

27:06

been friends in the NBA and they've been competing

27:08

forever. And guess what, God's going to continue

27:10

to be friends in the NBA and you're going to continue

27:12

to compete and that ain't changing anything.

27:15

So I don't think it's the friends

27:17

friendships that are stopping

27:20

physical playing the NBA.

27:21

What stops more physical playing the NBA.

27:23

Or the rules, rules or rules,

27:26

that's what stops physicality in the NBA. It's

27:28

not that, oh man, Jason Tatum

27:30

my friend, it's my little bro.

27:32

Of course.

27:33

Guess what when we play in the NBA finals,

27:35

I didn't say hi to him the whole time. He

27:37

didn't say hi to me the whole finals,

27:40

and then after we hugged, what's up, bro,

27:42

I miss you? Dang, it

27:44

was bothering me not talking to you like it's

27:47

my brother.

27:49

Yes, great, guess what did that change

27:51

anything?

27:51

Well? How I went at him, how he went

27:53

at me, how Boston France treated

27:55

me because me and j No, it didn't change

27:58

anything. So the

28:00

whole theory just doesn't make sense. If

28:02

anything, I want to beat you more. Just

28:04

guess what JT is going to be at my wed in

28:06

that summer. And I'd

28:09

rather be the champion walking into my wedding the JT

28:12

being the champion. Wak Like you got all of these

28:14

things that go on in our minds. That's not stopping

28:16

no competition. So people got

28:18

to stop with that. That changes nothing. What changes

28:21

physicality and NBA are simply the rules.

28:24

That's a great answer.

28:25

Before we get to the last question, reminder to

28:28

everyone to subscribe to our YouTube channel. We got

28:30

a couple very very cool interviews

28:32

coming up, but to close out, let's

28:36

go from at JJ six ix

28:38

Draymond. Do you think that you are misunderstood?

28:42

Do I think I'm misunderstood? Of course, but

28:45

so is everyone else that the world judges

28:48

and don't know. You know, so I

28:50

don't look at myself like, oh, y'all misunderstood

28:52

this of me, and like, look at me, I'm misunderstood,

28:55

Like Steph Curr's misunderstood simply because

28:57

you don't know him. Lebron James

28:59

is it's understood simply because you don't know

29:01

him. So the reality is, with the jobs

29:04

that we do, we're in front of

29:06

a camera all the time. There's always

29:08

something going on, there's always talk

29:10

around us, there's all of these things, and

29:14

so it's in your face. When something is always

29:16

in your face, it's only a natural

29:18

thing to feel like you know it, you

29:21

know them, you know and the reality

29:24

is you don't. You see what you see, and

29:26

that's it. There's entirely different

29:29

and other layers to that person

29:31

than what you get. The opportunity to see.

29:34

So am I misunderstood? Absolutely,

29:36

But so it's just about every other guy in the NBA.

29:38

I don't take that ass man,

29:40

they're picking on me and I'm misunderstood or anything

29:43

like that. We're all misunderstood simply because

29:46

our lives are on display in

29:48

a very small way,

29:51

but in people's face.

29:52

You see it all the time.

29:54

So in your mind, it's just like, that's our

29:56

life and that's what's on display to you. With

29:59

the reality of it is it's not and it's in

30:01

basketball. It's not the only

30:03

thing in any of our lives. So the

30:06

reality is we're all misunderstood. That

30:11

is going to be a rap from this episode of

30:13

The Draymond Green Show. Appreciate

30:15

the questions. The next time we go live, there

30:17

will continue to be mailbag segments.

30:20

Got in another couple, another episode

30:22

dropping next week.

30:23

That'll be a fun one. It'll

30:26

be a great one.

30:27

Owner of an NBA team coming

30:29

through The Draymond Green Show. Make

30:31

sure y'all check that out. Until next

30:33

time. That's a rap piece.
