I got some upstairs that's hard we got so many places that we can start up we gotta start the beginning you know what I'm saying start off the hoop session you know what I'm saying obviously you know what I'm saying you from the we consider North Carolina the east coast is that out of pocket okay okay no disrespect no disrespect is east coast how was it man you know what I'm saying growing up getting your [ __ ] off obviously use the prospect how was it playing high school basketball in the area you was that because it was a lot of dogs where you was that man you was playing against another D1 like a like a high level D1 player every single game like every game somebody's going to do one somewhere that's right and that was wild like you can shot the Randolph no more playing the country hey Eric Williams top 20. you get ready ready pulley like you can literally every single game it was somebody so you literally it was like it was like events like Friday nights it was like going to high school basketball games it was like an event like it's selling out you got to get there early during the girls game because the Miz game is going crazy uh playing the glaxosmith climb back then which now is John Wall John took it over but our Christmas tournament is nuts playing at NC State it was huge man all the best players in the country came down for that so it was me every night he's playing against one question about a player um I can't remember his name for sure I think it's Rajon Terry is everyone Hey listen man that is his name so listen yeah wait so I went to school in North Carolina sure did so I knew about PJ I knew about it but they used to talk about this dude Hey listen all right so Rajon played with CP okay listen he might be like the one guy I think like it's a couple dudes I played against like my whole life that I feel like could have been a league should have been Elite it's like crazy to me that he didn't make it to leave for real because I mean he was really like the game now is like made for height like he's a real like three four like can do it all like Rajon was a problem bro yeah everybody always took my whole time man Carolina when I was in my two years they always talked about him like yo he was a dog hey let's talk about you they like PJ he was a dog obviously they talk about CP you know but he didn't make it to the league I don't think if he did I don't know he didn't he never made to the league he was in that in our year oh three class Carolina only had one scholarship yeah and he got it damn damn uh he must yeah all right he got it Carolina had one scholarship that year he got it is that the reason why you went in the ACC [Laughter] no no [ __ ] like I only want to go to Carolina like me and CP used to be like oh we're gonna go to we go to school together like uh but my grades were good enough to go to wait like they wanted me oh no wake it's fine hey it's fried like if you want a hoop and go to wake you gotta be a good students gotta be a great ass student to go to wake up right now for real so they like uh like it coach price at the time was my guy like I was I was down yeah but it wasn't gonna work but it was perfect though it actually worked out because at the time they had Matt Doherty um Matt Dougherty was the coach and I never forget bro I to this day bad Raymond Felton was my brother and Rashad McCants used to look at me every time I would go over there and be like don't come here don't come here bro like that I swear bro he literally told me not to come so you need people like like real like real friends like real friends like yeah yo bro like this ain't it like they say you wasn't doing a good job at Caroline right you're gonna be real yeah Matt Doherty was bad he was only and then he got fired that year yeah the same year he got fired then Here Comes Roy Williams my [ __ ] that year we played Carolina in Denver sweet 16 um that was my team I had a double double I have 14 to 10. we beat Carolina literally crying I'm beating Carolina I'm going crazy shaking hands Roy Williams shake my hand I'm last person grabbed me was like if I was here you'll be here right now damn that meant a lot didn't it bro I was like a little kid I was like a little girl bro that's big crazy look let me ask you this though I got you I'm gonna do your thing let me ask you this so once you beat him for us like how you feel like because I play here right you know I mean I play well I didn't play here I play I use when I was a freshman right I mean sophomore I play IU in a Big Ten ACC town challenge or whatever and now I was just hyped to play IU right like man it was trash but we beat them by 30. yeah but I was so hyped how did that feel to play Carolina though like I played Carolina going away and I know how it feels like for me dog like always like my dream was to play for Carolina yeah yeah it wasn't to make the NBA damn that's the dream is to go together you're a little kid from North Carolina the dream is to play for Carolina don't worry about the NBA it's about playing there so to not do it and then to beat him it was like surreal like the tournament was over for me like I was like I'm cool like I'm good on everything now like yo what mama say what you already know yeah my mama huge Carolina family Michael Jordan fan like that's uh my mom the reason I hope like that's all for her it was like crazy you know what I'm saying so that was that was special that's a real [ __ ] damn Roy gave you the nine bro that's what's up man to this day it's still my dog that was my squad that's why I had love when he was like uh Marvel was [ __ ] what he went to Atlanta I said Bros and my head I'm just thinking like what if PJ Tucker went to North Carolina you would have had the Vault for real before the ball you would have been the guy before the guy like he was already him but that would have been even crazy if you'd have had them keys and what they was rocking back then oops Hoops you know what's up oh my God oh my God okay I got a question about Texas like what made you choose Texas though like okay you didn't go to Carolina it's still North Carolina State he said wake was too hard you still got dude a Duke probably harder dude Texas Rick Barnes coach of Texas at the time was from North Carolina okay hosted Clemson like he got super North Carolina time so he can't aiming a lot he came in and won my mom he came in on a visit bro and while my mom he walked out of the house my mom was like you going to Texas and walked out the room and went to the bed like she was not she like he won my mom's we went on a visit it was Oak bro it wasn't no like she made my decision for me like I ain't even picked like she picked for me yo that's why this is my mess because my mom made Madison my mom had a dream no cat she had it told me she woke up and said you going away first I wanted to go to USC if you be honest right because OJ was gone it was turned L.A oh I'm going to USC Devon Jefferson one of the real ones nice he there we I'm like Taj was there I'm like yeah my mom was like had a dream said you going away first it was over it was over I ended up that way how was it when you got there though for me or no no bro when you got the Texas man they put me on the plane I had two bags couple hundred dollars I know like I had nothing for my dorm room bro like dead ass like got there I had a blanket I had no sheets I have nothing bro like I literally dead ass you a trench baby like you already know like um for real like so it was like that first few months was a struggle dog like I was like going through it like for real and then once you start hooping and everybody like really get to know it was like it was like all right yeah like once you become that guy it's like oh yeah oh yeah that's him like it was like everything started fall into place first I would say first four or five months and then when basketball season started it was up and never looked back from the beginning of that all right did [ __ ] give you some beds students [Music] shorty like you better holler because you ain't never gonna see her ever again you better say something cause you ain't never gonna say 70 000 people bro yeah like it's soaked are you walking to class bro like that like you like like where am I going like that's correct Auditorium was six seven hundred people in it so coming from like where you come from Riley you come from Atlanta yes sir where's that like because I can't imagine I'm from the west side of Indianapolis that southern hospitality hit different huh what yo he loved Texas oh did anybody on the team like any like sophomore junior senior like you know pull you to the side holler at you get your game all of them Roy Roy Ivy okay Ivy black the reason I'm even here dog like he literally dog we would go out and I'm green like I'm super green like I ain't green but I'm like green to the game like how things work right we would go out we have fun I'm like oh we live we won't go back he's like nah we're going to the gym our practice silly just got built so we had like the fingerprint joint you know what I'm saying it's like the first year that Joy so all right bro we'll leave the spot and go go to the gym I'm like go what like man you're tripping bro literally Lee Sixth Street go to the arena we're going to work out three in the morning damn damn we're playing full court 101 we're getting shots up hold on bro like Roy was like he was he's going into a senior year so I ain't even I'm not even peeping and really realizing he tried he fighting to get to the lead like he fighting [ __ ] like go like make it happen I'm not even peeping my freshman year I'm coming from high school I'm a little kid he trying to eat like but I was a part of that process for him you know what I'm saying he used me like you know what I'm saying he he grew me and showed me the same time like how hard you got to work and what it take to get there you know what I'm saying so it was like we can have fun but we're gonna get our work in too yeah that's all that's real I [ __ ] with Royale because he did the same thing for me like when I came into the NBA he was I don't know if he was he played for the Hawks already but he was coming back my rookie year to be like try for attendance right but he was giving me that same treat yeah like he'll be like hey yo you got to be in the gym you got to be doing this and it's like to see him as a coach now it's no other way I could see him like he was he was always that guy yeah he's playing he was a coach yeah he I mean he deserved all the credit in the world because hardest work I've ever known in my life one of them guys crazy dog yeah crazy and that's hard somebody like that you know what I'm saying set the tone for you in college you know I'm saying that people obviously you know who Ivy is real hoopers know who he what but that's crazy that somebody said that tone for you initiating you with that process you were underclassmen he a senior like nah this is a grind like and I'm showing you how you work now how did that impact you like something did that set your work actually to another level man once he was going it was like I'm the hardest worker and I'm the best player damn so it's like now ain't nobody it's like my whole like emotion towards all that [ __ ] is all like different now because I'm looking to dudes like I'm better than you and I'm not worth it yeah it's both effects like if we got mind you we got Lamarcus there's no more playing country coming in fact Bobby Gibson who's top guard like we got we got some guys coming in but I'm like nah this is mine like I got this like you like come on like you know what I'm saying and that's what kind of like built that culture like work like because train work Lamarcus that's that was all built bro like all his jumpers and all the turnarounds that's why I seen him do bro listen here bro Lamarcus hurt his hit he had hurt his hip he was out for the season bro coach Barnes got like this tall like high chair and LaMarcus I swear bro everything I love bro he would go on his crutches he'll sit there in the chair with a with a with an assistant and he would just shoot that high release joint he got yeah bro I swear one hand two hand and then at his hand bro I swear I seen Lamarcus for hours bro I've never in my life bro he was sitting in that chair for he was out for like eight nine months bro he was out for like a year for a while bro he came back [ __ ] you didn't play with some what's crazy is like people don't give you your credit when you was at Texas bro it was nasty I still want to play the years like bro yeah I'll be having to tell people like bro the NBA will dumb you down a little bit bro you was nasty I used to play with you on March Madness bro you was crazy Yeah March Madness but your handles was weaknesses wow God damn we got to make this [ __ ] sinner he gonna give me a double-double that's a given you know what I'm just saying no that was the only thing yeah oh God nice to be like I used to like I was a fan of like Hakeem Ward and like random ass [ __ ] like Jerry McNamara mellow I was a Syracuse as I'm like damn PJ Tucker really be killing but to see how you play in college and then if people who own no ball like that to watch you in the NBA they won't realize like you was a train why don't we play him like what like what do we we give him the money for right he was a funny killer bro that's what they say yeah really hey you asked Jeff bro ain't no nah I'm gonna hear like I keep it a thousand bro I really like that like and people don't know like you like it's a job dog like this this is a job this ain't you catch me and pick up it's a whole nother it's different energy like this Beyond on Instagram like man I'll bust like yo yo relax my God yeah oh God I really tell your ass sometimes you got to go back and like [ __ ] they gotta go back and look bro at Texas bro you you was different three I actually only played two and a half because I gotta pull off the team [Music] I'm a YouTube fanatic so I know how to Rico Hans what hey [ __ ] know it's different when you in there this ain't this ain't I mean Philly bro I'll get this [ __ ] and carry your ass up don't don't sleep I'm a professional please don't get it like we can really yeah yeah you know what I'm saying Texas basketball is cracking obviously I had a [ __ ] whip but at the same time you know them Texas boys just care about that Texas football how was that in comparison going between that like y'all was them [ __ ] but y'all still had to deal with Texas football man they just won national championship too yes sir Twisted oh you would have a [ __ ] yo bro that's that's what made that that's what made that Dynamic cool like that was one time with hoops and football like was like this because me and Vince like this that's my dog that's my brother to this day that's my brother yeah so it was like we all rocking together being selfie yeah like we had like everybody like it was like we all rocked together so it was like one mile Bros we used to like go out and hang together it was like it was like movies every time you catch this like it was wild like Austin during that time I don't know if we the first school but we're one of the first schools to ever be preseason number one in basketball baseball and football that's tough oh six yeah how was The Vibes on campus with that because [ __ ] I'm thinking about this young yo yo same bro oh really is a great City oh but for y'all have one one and the major sports Houston Street was that it's baseball then he was the pitcher he was about to go number one like it was yeah I was cracking it was it was crazy and watched him win the Rose Bowl like that was wild watching them win man oh wow that's enough that's a moment to find it for a lot of people in our age group like I remember watching that USC Texas National Championships yeah and I still don't know why Reggie budgeted that later Reggie I'm so happy thank you Reggie yeah Texas wasn't supposed to win that [ __ ] everybody was rooting against Texas he was a guy but Reggie Bush was that [ __ ] he was the first football mixtape just dancing High School is shut up is like the the highlights 500 yards [ __ ] college football player ever PJ he's the greatest Reggie Bush is the greatest college football player ever he went for 500. I want to talk about it ever Elite mixtapes Bo Jackson I don't even know you don't know oh you disrespected we wasn't watching Bo Jackson is the best score ever in the NBA I wasn't I'm not as old as you know how old are you like you said we not watching Bo Jackson you didn't grow up watching [ __ ] Bo Jackson run the ball like you did Reggie Bush you saw more Reggie Bush than you did Bo Jackson

never forget we on the bus you got one of the most fire stories that I feel like the most inspirational stories ever like he told me a story that made me feel like damn I wish I would have heard that story when I was in my first second year you know what I'm saying would you be able to tell us a story about like I would rather you tell it cause all right so he tell me a story about Toronto we on the bus Monday we him on the back of the bus he like yo you know what's crazy bro when I was in Toronto I thought I was a [ __ ] he's like yo I had this house I had a penthouse I was living I was doing this and I wasn't playing like that but I wasn't working that hard either and they had a camp they had a a basically a camcorder recorded me in my workouts and doing [ __ ] that I was doing and they basically pulled me into office and showed me what I was doing how I wasn't working how I wasn't doing this and he got cut and the snow that if I would have knew that when I was in my first second year I would have like that people do that I would have carried myself totally different yeah even though I wasn't [ __ ] up but I would have been like damn because I respected him like I see him at Texas he did more [ __ ] at Texas now that way for us yeah you know what I mean so I'm like if I would have heard that for a young guy now I would love for him to tell it because I like I like you tell it because it's like you can like I tell that story so many times even the young guys now and you can respect it and understand it because you can look at it and I was like but God's in a position now with all the podcast and you talk about it a little bit like they get it so they try to listen to it a little bit more but it's like until it happened to you yeah that [ __ ] don't hit it don't hit like really high like that stomach you know what I'm saying when that stomach dropped when you ain't got no job and at least something on that Penthouse and you ain't got no check and you

opportunity meets timing like it was like every time in my career and I was ready for it and it was like it was really like my rookie year like it's how it should have been right I'm saying yeah that's how I took it it was like I don't even counting that like that was still like whatever like this is it right here and that's how I carried it every game bro like I really like like took control of it you know what I'm saying now I had the right coaching staff like it was perfect bro and then like real talk from being 15 men in August when I signed I was starting on December 31st damn and I ain't look I've been starting ever since now you earned that [ __ ] bro hey you know what's crazy I don't know what year this was for him in Phoenix but the W Hotel was popping in Phoenix oh [ __ ] this is my [ __ ] we gonna talk real talk about it a few Hotel me a couple of the guys pull up hey why yo you see PJ Tucker whip I'm like oh sir I'm like who got the win they like PJ Tucker I'm like

how much I get it you know we rock but to go for Phoenix you know had a success that you had playing but to start seeing young dudes like TJ Warren Devin Booker and them to call you they OG like how

yeah my son 11 like he who bro my son was like yo dad why you were so mad at last Stevenson when he met him like nah I'm like nah it's a respecting son like NBA like games over like you you still trying to score like game over like ain't nobody trying to dribble it out dribble it out you hold a ball yeah you know it's respect it's Integrity like it's what you do you like in the game yeah you know what I'm saying game's over and he he he faked like he was gonna dribble it out and with the score you know and I I ain't like that he's like okay but he still was looking like are you Wilding but I'm like no no like to this day like yeah that was his first game back yes bro and that's what like I don't know like for me that's what like triggered me even more it was like he was trying to like boost this I [ __ ] I want to see I know he talked about this I was like are you man look I get in the locker room I ain't do [ __ ] on the court yeah [ __ ] them [ __ ] like we're about to like so that's how I just got there but they like yo they've been battling in the end all year like yeah yeah they're like are giving me the backstory something all right cool so when they beat us it was like a thing like we about to play them in the playoffs like all right so it was like Susie did that it was like all right y'all I think that was the two seed we [ __ ] around lost another game y'all lost they and and it didn't matter all that [ __ ] that went on because it's Cleveland yeah I said we gotta play bro bro that was LeBron are we gonna play tomorrow that was the most Unstoppable LeBron James that year was that in Miami that was Brian fresher back in Cleveland right that was first you're back there's I'm not even debating it that that LeBron was Unstoppable when he went against uh Paul Pierce and then when he was in that Miami jersey what year was that 2011 he was sick he was showing like how like like he showed the physicality of that year of like [ __ ] can't really like physically different guard me like yeah that was the first time I was because I thought I thought I could guard like really really guard Brian until that point and I was like I can't go oh you ever thought you thought you could ever regarding yeah but that was like he just like he showed up yeah that year after the All-Star yeah he was yeah because that's when he had a tree too because that's when the three-point ball came in like he was doing the right step yeah that was that we had a game buckets we had it okay [ __ ] I think it was later he had Taurus [ __ ] oh and we had a game and I think I had gave dellavedova like something crazy and I talked about it but it's gonna be a long post I was like it's gonna be a long [ __ ] night he was like can you score more than me [ __ ] and I was like yeah yeah Nova told you that no bro I was gonna say it Billy told you that [ __ ] yeah yeah I'm like well you're gonna have to show me average 18. [Music] when did The League start noticing you for your fashion [ __ ] when did that become a thing like what year you don't think that's right all that [ __ ] came from me and James dog from Houston the whole tunnel thing I was like that the evolution of that the way Houston built to it was perfect too because the way you know how it is like that that walkway right there it's a long ass like walkway and it's like really like a walkway and it was just built off that so yeah I started the tunnel flicks we definitely talk about it no I'm just saying now these [ __ ] was real life like getting fly as [ __ ] no they was like real life setting up shop like I remember one time we we played them yeah and I'm like them [Music] and they stopping damn Nina they whips is crazy so I'm looking at it I'm like this car is just crazy I like cars I'm like hey cars it's nice but they not coming in like damn [ __ ] this [ __ ] waiting on like kill these [ __ ] they think we like hey they gonna wait like but no they come in with [ __ ] I'm like it's a production these [ __ ] PJ had came we played them in the playoffs this [ __ ] had like a suit on I'm like what the [ __ ] and p uh James had some [ __ ] on them like all these [ __ ] are serious I had on Nike check I'm like I took advantage of that [ __ ] yeah they made it yeah it was like turning that into like fashion week and like knowing Brands and getting stuff and like yeah it like took it to a whole other level and like now I love it because you see so many young guys now like but it's like an air day we like really we didn't try to do it but it was just kind of our Styles like I was already I've been getting dressed every game yeah Houston like social media they took it to another level this [ __ ] that we see now yeah yeah for sure since we transitioned off basketball like you had a great career we're gonna we ain't [ __ ] you you know you're an NBA champion we're gonna get to our Milwaukee [ __ ] but gotta get in Milwaukee for sure the fact that how you got fashion going and how people are responding to it and the NBA is amazing like playing with you used to come in the locker I'm like yo this [ __ ] really just put [ __ ] on and I ain't no groupie [ __ ] I'm like it's like really fresh like yeah I used to be shitty because I would be like [ __ ] like look at my Essential hoodie again God damn it I just be like and then I I would get the shoes and then he had come with some [ __ ] like T you seen these the [ __ ] I ain't got these [ __ ] different and he made me quit I retired from sneakers and I'ma show love cause my [ __ ] he humble but Jeff's been about that it just been had that [ __ ] he really dude he really got it him is that young two [ __ ] I knew about this [ __ ] but I had that work but when he told me how you was operating I said yeah it's different I hope I told you I humbly bail out I respect I ain't gonna buy shoes no more he came in talking [ __ ] though when he first came he's like [ __ ] I got those like oh man what I got this I'm like oh I'm like words you got that like okay okay Jeff got some [ __ ] he started bringing [ __ ] I'm like okay I've got some work I was like damn and now that's and that was like that's like minimal that ain't even like buy every day yeah that's not even fire when that [ __ ] came with LeBrons that LeBron didn't have yeah the brown stuff is where you go like next level right he had tennis shoes that brown didn't have we worked out before a game I swear I'll never forget he put him on said what the [ __ ] is up he's like oh these LeBron what was they like so it was weird test symbols between two different LeBrons before they had decided yeah which LeBron they was dropping right so it was like which actual model it was like a mix between two models it was uh 15 and 16 I think it was crazy and he got a more I don't know what the [ __ ] they I don't know what the [ __ ] is this these test samples so then bro like you know you get them from now that's crazy and then there's another episode Giannis he got the his team his team joins coming out he come in with him before him I told him his team George is better than his regular shoes he like how you see my team jokes I was like I'm gonna wear them in the game and what's crazy is I know a little bit about shoes you know what I'm saying when I seen only you and Lori marketing have certain LeBrons I'm like that size running a little bit different huh that little self besides a little bit different from this shoe [ __ ] bro he's different oh no it kind of fashion he's different coming when you had the Dolce Dolce Gabbana uh I don't even say this [ __ ] that's how you know I don't wear [ __ ] look but that's all built off of like all that stuff we was talking about bro it really just came from that that's hard like and that's the little [ __ ] about it like it would it didn't take a whole lot of nothing else just showing interest and doing it every night and it's that dedication to it it's like yo oh okay you got style I like it boom now we meet boom hold you like this boom now we gotta collab boom it's fat with is fashion like a passion or is like that's my like for sure for sure yeah I hope because but then like you start to learn yourself and stuff you like and like what you're really into and I was just naturally into the passion and really wearing fashion it was like not even just me it was like yo investing women and like it got it got so much bigger and I started to realize how much more I liked so much more of it it was like yo like this is what I'm really into it so it's safe to say after you're done yeah you're gonna have I'm gonna design for sure I got a question on that obviously you got your own shop that's going crazy you know what I'm saying you see hip-hop artists like for real you know I'm saying getting that creative job and Louie crazy what brand of house would you like to have PJ Tucker get his

retiring at halftime he was done I was done but we talk about fashion so we get back on that mm-hmm you've been you've been putting that [ __ ] on you've been that guy you've been doing all that [ __ ] but how did you get started with the sneakers though like what was your first sneaker how did they she even that that seemed like Carolina [ __ ] though like that's like like Michael Jordan being from Carolina like yeah loving Carolina like they came from that so like wearing like back then you get Jays to wear them like we literally used to cop RJ's put them on go to school relate to school and then from that it just evolved like into the whole thing like I know you've been collecting shoes because like like actually collecting since 2000 like 99 2000. yeah and what I respect about you so much is like you can tell it's not for us like you could tell it's just like I get this [ __ ] I'm gonna put that [ __ ] on like it made so many people like oh I can actually wear my shoes here what the [ __ ] did you get them for who's waiting for like you're sitting with them like yeah they're gonna [ __ ] up I have shoes from a long time ago they're gonna crumble eventually and that's why when I see you in Phoenix I'm like oh he's really hooping in that [ __ ] like that [ __ ] changed that everybody you can see the people who bit off of you and you can tell people who are genuine about it and I appreciate you bringing back to genuine [ __ ] didn't it because like you like really love this [ __ ] like like them cute rich uh that's true oh my God I said yo this [ __ ] is crazy I said yo you open it again me he literally did me was like yo bro what's up with you bro that's my dog he crazy he's crazy he hooping at anything I was like yo tell D miles I got his uh white

LeBron fours Kobe fives Kobe fours threes twos Kanye West what's them Grammy samples baby Grammy samples yeah give them a million dollars like they don't they never sold so I don't know it never will bro like he got so much [ __ ] bro he made me put up my shoes I stopped buying shoes I bought General releases now damn I want regular stuff though like we get to talk about like all the crazy stuff but like every day bro I wear regular stuff nah bro no you don't I don't bro you look at your feet right all right right now no no no no no it's different nothing regular I'm on the road we're on I'm on a road trip I'll be on your team bro that's what I'm saying like Indiana too Indiana all right yeah this podcast wasn't playing so this is just what he do what uh we had nothing to do with this world come here what are you talking about this is what he do I'll be on his team bro so let him get his [ __ ] off what's what's regular what's she wearing this regular like like Air Max ones and all-white Air Forces like I wear regular [ __ ] every day all white airplane's gonna have a Rockefeller logo on them that's a fact or they might be John that's what you're calling boss leather all right I got a question for you you know what I'm saying we all grew up at a time but we're you know I'm saying outside of wearing mice like we was by the age grouper where you know what I'm saying you rock the Iverson's because Iverson was that [ __ ] T-Mac T-Mac was that [ __ ] what will it take for like dogs getting signatures today like you got the jobs popping out soon what will it take for them shoes on an initial release to get back to how I would so you know what I'm saying like the Barclays the pennies we was geeked to wear those yeah it's not the same no more and obviously you ain't trying to get fly like no pgs you know Kyrie's right you think Nike will ever get back to the point to where they make that shoe like lit to where off Court as it is in court is just going to be Performance Based going forward do do you think it's just Nike Nike's the reason that it's not like that I won't say I will put that on Nike because it's not them but I'll say overall like you know those Nike Staples was the ones that we got to like but I'm saying like what what what when all those tours making those iconic shoes what they were to us like right like when you really like essentially like bro see this is marketing this is this is what I'm saying like people forget and everybody like talk about a lot now especially with not so many releases dropping of like new stuff like like what made it like what made it like that like what made let's let's just take penny for instance talk about it little penny Tyra Banks keep going like we can we can keep going I bought the pennies home the boys commercial bro Penny's hole existence with all that stuff and then to see Penny on that on on NBC go up top on somebody go crazy yeah but like it was like the whole experience of like Penny was like different y'all y'all shooting experts I'll give that to y'all yeah but you know shout out to y'all but you a nasty [ __ ] if you wear a pair of kyries and some jeans like Jeffrey got on to the club you're out of pocket nobody where that's the whole point I don't give a [ __ ] what commercial I don't give a [ __ ] who put the [ __ ] on I don't give a [ __ ] if you put on some calories with them flare jeans you are nasty that was [Music] you get a pass cause who you are you probably has a couple weak ass outfits but [ __ ] said that's PJ he gonna get us right tomorrow he gonna [ __ ] with us tomorrow get back they gonna come back and [ __ ] with us tomorrow bro you can't say that bro listen yes I can no you ain't never you got on some flare jeans too yeah you ain't never wore some kyrese I love Kyrie's off the court but that's what I think that's what I'm trying to say when will they get back to a fashion like I feel like [ __ ] ghetto ghetto [ __ ] wore Foamposites with some black jeans all right the difference is though now with the performance like technology like those shoes these new shoes the technology is different okay but DJ [ __ ] hurt now like but yeah DJ said take the Dick's Sporting Goods out the shoe and bring it more back to Foot Locker Champs like a LeBron three we was out of pocket but [ __ ] was wearing them with fits though but that was the vibe [Music] but it was it was really kind of weak we was pushing was it it was on edge y'all like that three threes are my favorite LeBron ever that's personal choice I didn't wear the ones with fish but I'm talking about Zoom generations with some with some rocker word jeans with jeans or or y'all that could have been respectable that was a little Dusty I'm saying I'm saying like for today if a [ __ ] had on some threes with some jeans you kind of looking like you're not getting the club they gonna turn you away bro yeah facts but you know what I'm saying nobody wearing LeBron threes but I think but I was trying to get back to What DJ was trying to say like when would it get back they would never do that because it's based off of performance like it's performing shoes now yeah shoes are like like guys you got a hoop in them like you gotta actually play in them like bust out of them he's like you gotta like it's like a real thing like you gotta the performance gotta be there okay that's why it's gotta be there I ain't busting out the shoes he got on now ain't no way your [ __ ] house arrest they got three straps Jason Voorhees with them you ain't getting out them shoes but I I I honestly like want to see like the energy back in it right and that's I'm actually helping book with his new shoe because book new shoes come in okay all right now and it's got a chance it's got a chance to really like change the game what you think about disaster um I like Joshua a lot I do too I like Joshua a lot it's clean it's yeah and I feel like it's him like it's you got Tim huh do you got him he just sent me a bunch of pairs shout out that's my dog I messed with y'all but you with the shoes on you they gotta fit you right like I'm I ain't with like some people can choose signatures like it's like yo they don't even they don't even look like don't make sense it makes sense like it's got to make sense and I think that's back in the day like everybody's shoes made sense they can get them like it looked like your shoes like Charles Barkley like Charles Barkley shoes like his shoes look like him like Doc Martin for the airsoft look like him but you still throwing all black a boy zone right now put your phones on I ain't seen Foams and don't that's about to bring them back that's cause you're in a new Galaxy you ain't from that don't don't disconnect yourself too much listen if you had that it might be a [ __ ] hold on PJ I know you put on them cute ass outfits and PJ he might ask you for five on this tank if you got on Foamposites so don't even talk hold on [ __ ] I know you Fashion Week rip the runway do me three spins [Laughter] a [ __ ] got them Foams on with all black fit in our city he's safe yeah yeah cause he's a dangerous [ __ ] no no no everybody being dangerous shoot the club up but we not he chilling he might come to the gym you know what I mean drain them had a basketball event or something [ __ ] come in that all black people some money in his pocket though for sure he chill all black with some phones on it don't matter what color I mean yeah to me it depend on what phones it is but okay mellow you were the Mellow I ain't wearing no damn oh my contractually I was saying that respectfully yeah I got a question for you know what I'm saying you've had so many crazy peas with like the Hyperdunks and the Kobe's but like what's your favorite Kobe model Kobe 4. call before easy you rolling I think Kobe 4 is the best basketball shoe ever made oh you know what I'ma respect it but I think a shoot is close even though it wasn't the same price point I think that pg-1 needs more respect I think that pg-1 is one of the hardest basketball shoes let PJ Turner said he nothing on it um who said it I [ __ ] with the pg-1 we just we're talking I'm not I'm not just about that shoot I don't think it's the best shoe but ain't that ever saying this is like a another level yeah I respect it boys that's shoes like Kobe 4 is like [ __ ] you remember when you showed me the undefeated even when yo do you remember we in the uh Phoenix and The Undefeated you showed me um I'm on the bus tripping hey [Music] [Music] I feel like that code before is up there I'm a Kobe six [ __ ] but I respect the [ __ ] out that cup before Kobe six is good but they don't got like the Kobe 4 to me I like my shoes to be tight lockdown like yeah it's too loose and it like loosens up more when you play like the more you wear the Kobe six it loosens up and they get to a point where you can't even wear them no more because yeah they're blown out like they're gone like them scales they expand yeah fours I swear forever I took them sixes up did you know about that [Laughter] it's Locker right across yeah I said he had so many man he has so many pe's bro that was like he like just storm like you know [ __ ] they ain't gonna see on the internet they know who they are the bright orange yeah [Music] I love it yeah yeah for sure last but not least before we get out of here we gotta ask a couple rapper questions I'm saying see how you feel about a couple of things you've been around the league I'm gonna go your top five cities to go out in in this in the United States of America ain't no particular order no pressure Indy um you don't want to angry dicks and Foamposite he sure love to Indy I don't know no appreciate good money out here I see somebody I know what's up you're gonna ask for gas money walk away Miami New York la Scottsdale Houston Scottsdale about Toronto though I love Toronto it's still Canada what about Atlanta though I love Atlanta but it's Houston is number one um going out in one place in America right now yes shout out to be here no no no I'm saying like I'm saying in like over the years of the year over the years no I'm saying we asked me what right now all right the cities are right now in no particular order and that's why I said Houston last but Houston is actually like one two shout out to the Porsche no of course listen Toronto's a great time I'm just saying I have problems when I cross the border so I oh my God yeah yeah I just don't it's just a little different experience for me though and I love it it's wonderful but I I'd rather be in L.A New York I'm not putting that over L.A New York Miami can I ask you something before we get to like these last questions what was it like winning the championship how did you define like what was that for you like being an NBA champion like you worked so hard you went overseas played countless amount of years in the league to get to Milwaukee me being one of your teammates and being a part of that sharing that moment with you what was it like for you winning the championship yeah I think too I was coming from Houston he's just like fought for a chip I get it everybody left me damn they start playing with me like acting like I was fake her blah blah like this man dismissed me from the team like trying to get traded they playing to get to Milwaukee and it's like all right all the [ __ ] going now fighting all the obstacles I had to fight in Milwaukee during the time of like showing them like who I am and what I do and like fighting that battle to actually finishing it and doing what you said you was gonna do yeah like there was nothing that's like the top of the top like the Pinnacle like you know like stand on top of that mountain was like looking down like [ __ ] everybody yeah yeah that's that like you like your whole life like looking back to like all the Toronto that [ __ ] like you know what I'm saying like like I literally had to go through like the phases of all that [ __ ] to get to that point like that [ __ ] was everything that [ __ ] was fine and then but the best part about it is as soon as it's over the seasons start it's like all right you did it now what what have you done for me lately yeah do it again I tell that bro that's the best part about it it's like especially if you don't retire if you ain't done it's like every time it's like yeah you retired he ran off you were tied on top but when you go to another team or wherever like whatever you're gonna do it's like boom what have you done me lately yeah do it again do it again if you like that then do it again okay that's a great segment since you went from winning the championship to go on with my dog Jimmy and Miami that created me to a whole other monster yeah cause all right Milwaukee didn't they didn't do what they well I thought and they should have did it was like they just wanted to match they're like well don't get offer and we'll match whoever offer you and I was like do you want better I'm I'mma leave I'm gonna go to whoever offers me and you can keep your match and then I'm gonna see you I like that I'm gonna see you around the block like it's on that whole motivation that year was like getting to the person playing Milwaukee like I just wanted it wasn't even about winning the chip for me like I was on some [ __ ] like I just wanted to talk y'all gonna do me like that like yeah all right yeah bro man we talked about that so much we did yeah I feel like they they should have brought you back ball drop I think it was better for you to go to Miami oh it was 100 better because you showed a different side of your game yeah I actually got the hoop you got to who this is the first time I got to really hoop in a while you got to hoop so that was Jimmy okay so having that experience and being on the hoop like how you get I mean I know why you went to Philly but how could you leave Miami all right and go back to school this is like you can when I left Toronto to go to Houston CP getting hurt like that that was our year that was it was over see if you don't get hurt we wanted each other here yeah so see if you get hurt we still had a chance just didn't do it all right he can say what he wanted yeah yeah all right three two with home court advantage all right I apologize all right um to get the call for me to get all that all that stuff to happen and then for my man to call me like yo come on I need you come on yeah I want to see my dog win so I got a chance to get the money I wanted I wanted the full I wanted the full three years for mid level first and foremost to get that and then to be able to help my guy get one I was like yeah let's do it I got it before we get out of
