They jumped in this space maybe six months eight months before we did and kind of set the tone, and we came in with our own version of what they're doing.

I guess a little bit, just a little bit longer and a half six. We want to, like we said, Me and Black wanted salute y'all.

Man.

We remember the first conversations that I had with both of y'all before y'all got cracking in and the ship y'all didn't took off doing y'all thing got tours, y'all bringing people out, and you know, I feel like we definitely wasn't you know, we weren't the first people to do it, but I feel like once we all did it the way we did it, everybody else saw they could do it their own way too. It wasn't like some type of certain type of way you gotta do it.

Y'all.

Y'all wasn't the first, but for me, y'all gave me the competence to go out and do it.

So I appreciate y'all too, for sure.

Definitely set the blueprint D miles East St.

Louis, Louis, Saint Louis, don't ever say Saint Louis East, Saint Louis, get it right.

St.

Louis.

He taught me that a long time ago.

So that's close to somewhere over here there.

Right, we don't do that. Don't do that.

You from you from Marnelli.

No, no, no.

Jack told me everything not to say. I'm just fucking with you right now.

I'm from across that water down South Illinois. So yeah, yeah, you hear it.

Well, let's get to it, man, you can just get to it. You guys played together, Actually start, let's let's back it up. You guys played together with the Clippers. But when did you guys meet each.

Other playing AU ball? What age? What age? I was fourteen fifteen? You know, it's my oldest boy, you know, old son. I was fosed.

I was fourteen fifteen and qing him was playing for the Illinois Warriors. So the coach came down Southern Illinois and asked me to play on the team. I didn't want to play for a Saint Louis AAU team. I kind of wanted to do the Illinois thing and kind of keep it Illinois, and he asked me to play, and I went to a little combine or whatever, and then he introduced me to cuting them and we've been.

What was your first thoughts since when I saw him?

Like it was crazy because uh, young boy, stupid, stupid, skinny, but he was long and like crazy athletics, so like he fit right in with us because we really had a good team. All he did was came in and just block shots, ran the floor and dunked on people.

So it was like easy enough. He went like straight up.

He went straight to like number one in this class because he was playing up for Greade anyway, so you know how that go. Anyway, he playing up and he ain't have to average like twenty or nine. He was still getting double figure. But his intangibles were so crazy, being able to handle the ball, block shots, you know what I'm saying, dunked the ball, and facilitate like that. So it was like after that he was out of there. We went to night camp. We was calling him baby KG.

After that was his over was cute as big in seventh grade, eighth grade when y'all met great.

When I'm I wasn't around him then great when I met him, he was he was dominating, like they team was dominating, and he was lea in a way he was. He was like a figure that I can look at and see like, I want to do that. I want to be like like him. You know, they want state they their senior year. Then he played in McDonald's. So me seeing somebody, somebody that I played with, actually achieving everything that I'm seeing on TV and I'm seeing around,

I love it because somebody brings some cups out here for us. We're gonna have to take shots a couple of times. I got mind start taking rules.

Up in a second. We gotta have to start taking shots.

In a minute. I made me a CONCXCI before I came out of here.

Man got so fast forward LA Clippers back then, y'all played together two years in LA. What was it like both you guys coming from the Midwest out to l A. And although the team wasn't good, y'all clicked in with the culture immediately.

The team wasn't no good.

They know that.

It's just it wasn't their fault.

It was the swag and then the highlight plays in their record. Let's hat it's true.

It's true because like when we when we first got there, that team won eighteen games.

That's a lot.

That's the year before they got on the team.

Before we got there, we basically had a college team. We won thirty one games our first year. We won forty games our next year, So we was building. You just can't come to a league that's already established with veteran teams and just come right in. And we had five guys that couldn't even go to the club?

Was all your who was all those young.

Teams had never happened at that point in the league. Comment and we were the youngest team ever at that time?

Was who was all on that team?

Old team? The youngest.

Then you had ke on me ell O all nineteen and I think o little Candy was like what twenty twenty one?

Yeah?

What was he like? I heard he was burnt out. I heard he was heard just roomor I don't know, allegedly.

Wh was YOUU ro man?

You know everybody ain't understanding that man speak like five six languages literally like he was YOUU ro bro.

He get on the plane, read books all day.

I heard he used to blow dope in the back of the bus though, Was that true? He used to that urban legend somebody said he someone said he fired up in the back of.

The bus, dope in the black. Now you're gonna, y'all byo.

This is our messcut of being stares fuck Ola, Candy, Hey, h our news, our messcouts and stars June, y'all gonna pick this shit up.

This shit is busting.

Ad Man ad Man. Yeah, that's me. Yeah, that's five. You didn't go pick it up with appreciate support, you didn't.

Yeah, But we were progressing, you know what I'm saying.

We was in the league where he was the youngest team ever, and I feel like if we would have stayed together like that, special just came out. But Donald Sterling wasn't really playing guys and they had a bad rep. So for the city to rock with us and get with us and come behind them.

But we used to be.

Everywhere, like everywhere high school games, we used to be at the mall.

We'd be at all the events like I was in college.

Like you said, listen, people don't understand. We couldn't get in clubs, y'all. I'm taking them keeping in funky mid West dudes come out there, we try and dress up. They turned us away, and then it ain't no sneaking because he's six ' nine.

He the high school phenom.

As soon as they see his fast HOLDA gone ahead, turned around, bro gone on with your ass. Now, ain't you ain't getting us shut down? Like they was really on that back then. So we was at colleges that we never even knew it existed, but Occidental College out in passaging. It's like we was like what like we we is here in the quad both and then we were so stubborn.

We had the same escalades.

He had a black one on gold I had a white one on silver days. And I'm all right, we got the same identical truck, and I'm like, my ship fly to your my ship fly.

I'm like, I ain't right was on them?

Ain't we both ride to the same place beating up the whole area when we're coming down the street getting noise complaints and everything, but wet c U C l A Kyle Stanton north my wife, I know, my wife at Kyle State north Ridge. Then literally like it's crazy, like yeah, we was everywhere, but.

My ship was on the old d's though ship you get gold, desh, it ain't better than no gold.

Fuck that through some d's on that hope ain't gonna come back to that.

That's that's just some country ship. I was a city boy. I'm you know, shot town boy. You know country boys. You mean Burnie back out there.

So obviously y'all had a lot of fun off the court. On the court, you guys were electric. Again, where did the the two that the head come from? Because Trevor Reeser told me where where he thought it came from.

It came did it?

So they're high school?

Yeah, but that's that's that's that's that's speak to like how coach really in it?

Going to they height and like they high school. If you know, we said a juke code, we ain't have no price a whole college Southwest.

But talk about how you had to leave the back doors open just so they didn't break into your ship during practice.

No showers, no locker room.

None of that. We gotta put towels on our car. See when we drive to the crib, take showers at the crib. That's how it was in the league. So he stayed in Marinadale. Ray I stayed a way out in the valley. I was in Larry jew house and I ain't driving and rush showers straight to crib. So most signs are the practices. I'm going to road crib and were chilling and then I go to crib later.

So take that.

Little Lincoln roll. You know you're going right past west Chester. So once we start going their games and locked in with him, you know, he just he ateeen. He's still high school a so you know, you can take what you want. But like, you know, so we started going to the practices. Ship, we practicing with him, and they like we got them coming to a couple of games and ship we locked in with a hassign trip and that's boy, And that was what they used to be doing.

Fans was like no, where that ship at. They was like do that like you know what I'm saying. So it just it just turned into a thing of its own, but like on some real ship. Yeah, we invited them to the game.

We invited their whole team to the game, and you know, the show love to them in the game. You know, when they were celebrating at their high school game, they were doing this, So we started doing it in the game to you know, show love to them. But the fans appreciated it. It was one of them games. Well you know, me, I had a bunch of dunks, you know, you know how I do, That's what you do. And then they was just like every time, so I was getting a bunch of dunks. So I was doing it

Block, and get anything. He just so I couldn't let him.

I'm like, then, Zel, I'm around the way, I'm gonna lead it with something. Now I'm getting mine off.

So you know, we just started rocking with and the fans. The fans kind of rock with it. But we never told nobody where we got it from what it meant. Like, you know, people think it's mean something from where we're from.

Whole lot of things, shout out Westchester.

We never told nobody like what it meant. And finally twenty years later, twenty one years later, we finally kind of let the cat out of the bag, you know, and created our show with it.

But y'all, y'all was doing movies. Y'all was you guys brought cool to a team that's been bad for a long time.

Yeah.

I was then ZeLing brow about trying to tell you, but it wasn't Nobody and him.

I was in Bro. I was ZeLing in l A Hollywood, and they wanted us to do.

We were doing movie shows, our list one on one like bro every time, like yes, like hell yes, we got sad cards.

We got in the Union. I was like, well, I like this ship this is you pull up?

You got a trailer with your name on it and I ain't sharing it with this motherfucker. Like I was like, damn yours over their minds over they got separate ship.

Fuck like we were from the Clippers. We wanted used to some night ship.

Now we was not used to it, but like for real and then you gotta think about it.

We was.

We was in the shadows of Shaq and Kobe. Three people. We came two thousand. The first one they want, they won the next three. So we they were getting all of the ship that they don't want, anything that they don't want. Come on, they big boys that we know how to big boy through. So it's a lot to go fall off. We were sitting there like thank you, like.

Yes, damn he turned this ship down, like oh.

Man, like this is awesome, like for real, and like we would get told like yeah, so you know Kobe didn't want like like we was all on the same company of time too. It was it was the West coast s Effix and the East Coastal aren't telling was together at that point, so like we would have to go to Ron's office and sign ship with b D even though he was with with R and DN, Like but like, yeah, we got so many little fall down sloppy seconds from them.

Boys.

Gates were from the Huntings, you know what I'm saying, Like, but we can came out well because we're younger maning schools right on the edge of.

The West Side downtown like right there.

But like they thought we was the bitch school, because we was the smart school right right right right.

We had that work though we had all the bad girls, remember that. We were known for that.

Damn what you doing knocking everything down?

Ship?

Come on, could we get one more chair for twe let me pull this ship back. Let's get torn up here. Baby, this is a bonus.

Y'all didn't even expect this.

I know one thing.

I'm not gonna tell no stories of us hanging out. Okay, I'm just gonna promise you I'm not.

You taught me a lot.

Can we get them a mic to?

And they talk about, Yeah, we beat as parents Chicago though half of these motherfuckers and hung out with I'm low.

I'm from Port but I could be from Chicago, nigga, because I'm with the same ship.

At all times.

They helped me into count me in too.

Yeah, I was all.

As Q is telling these stories, I'm thinking, I'm thinking how many fights I would have had to get in until they started sucking with me to why you got a whole motherfucking counch bro, God, now that's what you Yeah, come on man, so legend right here, give it up again for Antoine Walker. Alright, Matt employ Eloye number eight?

So what was shot town?

What's up?

Yeah?

Yeah, talking ship bro.

I appreciate that. Thank you this whole baby.

What was the atmosphere out here like this as you were coming up and then as you've seen people like Q in this next generation behind you coming up.

All this basketball capital, It's it's down off a little bit now, so people don't think about it. Deck Rose was probably our last a little batch of guys that were really tough. But we used to be the gym. It's thirty of us, thirty five pros and Rose pros, guys that have made and challenge each other every day.

You can lose the first game and I play again to the fifth game.

They know that. That's how strong Chicago was. But I'm a south side guy like you, so I'm a little biased.

You know what I mean, You already know. So I'm a south Side guy, but I did it differently.

I went to Calvin School, Q Public School, I went to I went the Calvin School route. But we played together, so we pushed each other every day to make Chicago great. And that's what made it special because we played together a lot in the summertime and it really made it work hard.

What kind of effect did Michael Jordan have obviously on the city, but you guys as individuals as well. I mean, you guys have been laced ever since you met him. But each you guys to D, I'm gonna start with you, D. Once you got into MIC's circle, what kind of effect did he have on your life?

In your game? Uh?

Man, you know anything about Illinois? You know about w G. Like we used to watch all you tube get it in California. To trust you all what I'm saying, and just growing up watching Mike and then getting the opportunity to be around him was just, like I said, somebody that you can just kind of see his road and try to follow behind and.

You know, make it.

Everybody, every last one, damn right. Ain't no bullshit round too. Q. I know you had a really good relationship with him. Talk to us about what you know, what he meant to you and what it was like being in his ecosystem man.

For me, the craziest shit is, I met Mike before I even made the league because Juanita's family, her mom and everybody, they Juanita grew up on the next block.

For me, I one hundred and fifteenth to partnew.

They grew up on one hundred and fifteenth in Wallace, right next across the alley. So like I knew Carl John like her nephews became his nephews. So the first time I ever met him was there in the backyard. He got the whole fucking city out, So you know, that was how I met.

How'd your shoot deal? How'd your shoe deal come about? Because you've been a lifer. Yeah, let's let's yeah.

I was baking some golf here in the back. We were at the same size. I ain't seen the ship.

Hey listen, listen, man, you could have never told me it was like gonna be what it has become. And you know, a family situation like that. But uh, we start. I was a dude that wasn't you know, I got picked eighteen eighteen. Pick ain't about to really break the bank on the shoot. If you get a shoot it at also like you know what I'm saying, we was trying to figure out out he was the he was the third third pick, yea, the highest high school pick up at that point.

Yes, sir, give that, give it up, it up.

You know, KG was previously number five. Black came in and rewrote that.

But like so we was trying to get a deal and like our agent, I wasn't getting I was getting off of for just a pair of deals. He was getting what what our agent felt like was lowball. And then we was at uh. We went to Jordan Campus flight school out of trying to borrow for the kids and ship everybody would go to. And we had all this and one ship they had just game. They was giving up so much ship, bro it was crazy. We

So we was, yeah, at least getting to a club.

Then finally the next the next morning, our agent called us, was like, man, what y'all do we like what you're talking about? He was like, man, they just sent me over a contract. Y'all fing somen with Jordan's Wow.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Shut all that down. I went from getting a pair of deal just some cash in my fight right here.

So you know, once we've seen that, you know, we was fool with it.

After that you already couldn't tell you ship, But after that, it was all the way over.

It was a whole another game. Now now we're Jordan's down.

Like we Jordan, Dude, that was a stampard pool bro. I was like, ship, wasn't mind? Mind went way different than that. You had to get to the bobcats.

I was at that time, Jack get boxes every leap year.

Well what it is is, at the time I got my joint deal, I was wearing proteges.

If y'all don't know what protege.

Is, hold on talking about, come out, come out. So Jack the first time shout out o Herington. By the way, I saw our brother the first time he bought Protege in the game.

What happened?

We made a check off the bitch, let me start there, okay.

But it also almost ended his career.

It definitely, it definitely ended my almost in my end of my it was some bullshit.

That ship ship Stephan gave us the game this one. I knew you was a real friend. I knew he was a real friend because that ship. I was like your son, and like Stack, I need you to get in with I need you. I'm like, cool, you're my nigga. The worst decision ever made.

I ended up breaking my toe and playing these ships right for three years, I think every quarter at every time out. If you wanted to know my moves, you had to wash the tape. Just the black marks was all on the court, so you can see everywhere I went right. Walmart ass Shoes called Proteg's.

Very first game though he made a move he made I don't know if it was a left right or right to left, but he came out like the soul went that way.

I need another path. This is like two minutes in the game.

Game just started.

I said, oh, ship, so then I get I get to I get traded to Charlotte with Jed. I'm playing in them ships. I make a move, I come out. I got my toe hanging out the mup. As I come to the sideline, I'm sending the ball boy to the back to get saying.

Like, hold on, hold on, what's that? What's that? What is that?

Like? No, no, no, no, bring him some j's. Brought me some j's. He felt so bad for me.

Dog. The next day, I had a joint contract in my locker.

It was a charity case.

God damn, you know, sometimes I take it.

Mike adopted Jeff pay my dudes, look at that poor little boy over there. Let's get it one.

You were someone that got to play with him in the summertime, but then against them on the biggest stage. What was that effect like in getting to go head ahead against Mike.

My first three years.

I came in the league in ninety six, so I went against the three the last three championships ninety six, ninety seven, ninety eight. I went one knee, eleven, one and eleven. Damn yeah, we went one knee eleven. I didn't play against him in the playoffs, but I was still kind of like a little fan too, because I came in at nineteen and I kind of grew up watching the Bulls, so I was a little fan.

But I got my revenge when he came back to the Wizards.

Okay, it's never too late, It's never too late.

Yeah, when he came back to the Wizards, that's when I got my day. So these guys know because obviously Darrins and Q was with me in the summertime. So got a phone call two thousand and one. He was like, hey, man, I heard you guys in the gym. I need y'all back with me. I'm like, oh, they like yes, Michael Jordan, y'all remember you could call people private back in the day, so he called me private. It was he was like, yeah, I need you back in the gym with me. So

When and then took him to the fifty yard line?

What's the fifty yard line?

And dnin, I took him to the fifty y'all, man, it was a special party for somebody, y'all?

So was it?

What's the fifty yard line?

The troun No tracks, we ain't going in, We ain't going that way, We ain't going that way.

But no, that was my experience with Mike. So I got an opportunity. I'm not gonna little kill me with that. I got a chance to be around Mike every day. Man, and see his work ethic, just like these guys like me and Dari's kid. We got a chance to be around him and see how great he was and the work after he put in, and and then see him do it at thirty seven thirty eight to get back in the league with something special to see. So those

Mike was three, like he he rented the hoops out right then it was like a joint parking lot. That was like whatever the fuck it was. He turned that ship into his steakhouse, his restaurant. There wasn't nothing. Remember that after the workouts go from the workout, they about to play card. I ain't gambled with these motherfuckers. I was smart, but I watched. I saw, I watched. I've seen it.

I seen it. But they out there like if you give you go over there, the stags, food.

All this ship, wine, all that ship. They up there smoking cigar, kicking it for hours. I'm like, I ain't with none of this shit.

I'm gone.

Yeah, it was. It was one of the you know one of the obviously greatest moments of my life. To be around the greatest and to see how he worked and how he went to buy his preparation to get prepared, especially at that age. So I just I learned a lot. And they know how he was. He was super competitive. If he wanted to win every day. If you wasn't win, you weren't winning. You didn't mean anything to him. He didn't care about He don't like losers. You gotta win.

Up not a lot of people say that we got to do this. Ship talking was crazy. He ain't never he ever?

Was My next question, like, what kind of ship talking was going on?

That was like talking And he.

Never told you say crazy ship. He told me I wasn't ship. We was losing too. And Charlotte, he came in practicing, had his weight with us. Bro talked to us bad. Every told me everybody every championship with the average and everything. We couldn't say nothing, and we were Charlotte was badly making the playoffs and how we're gonna get six championships?

Dade, What was that ship talking like back in the days, it's Mike used to Like I remember my first me first being around Mike.

I couldn't believe he cussed.

What I called my mama was like, man, Mike cuss like us.

He was just cussing like us.

Like but seeing Twine like Twine and super ship talking you know him in the gym. It just kept the momentum in the gym and the atmosphere in the gym with Mike and Twine and different guys. You had balls and there like Mike Finn. He ain't used to say ship, but he used to be in there, bus and folks. Truly, you know what I'm saying. So the ship talking used to be at an all time high.

Stack listen, let me tell you the dope is like Stack did some of the most ball of ship I thought at that point, was like some of the coldest ship ever, like he was playing for the Pistons.

Then Stack, you know Country boy had a big ass boat.

He brought a boat over with his two rows voices on that bitch and stage like Remer stayed like two months and had we thought he had.

They came up with my boat with me. That's hard. We started calling him up for a stack dollar, me and my home boy stack dollar. I say that. I said that the boat over this bitch Michigan that was so cold to me. Back down is hard. That's hard.

Yeah. Are we about to fly some pictures behind this ship?

That's right?

Tell us what y'all think? What comes to mind when you gotta see this, Oh ship here? You gonna go with the bullshit?

Huh? Was Jammie Lee? Phase boy?

Here, y'all go with the bullshit?

He was out there? What you're doing, Jamie Lee?

I was burnt out. That was the end of my career. Just got through a divorce. I was smoking weed every day all day.

I was fucking yeah. I don't know what was going on.

Don't look bad.

We found that picture. Next picture, God damn it.

People were here like, oh ship, okay, hey, you know what they say? Glad they put this ship up here? Can we let this ship rest? God damn it, This show Instagram for the last one ten years. They said, Hey, I didn't get no goddamn filed. They said post. They didn't call nothing. They just let the ship go. Nigga dug a whole twelve bookers out of my nose and they didn't call nothing.

Then we let this ship die to day please and they said.

Pose lost everything up to his knuckle after that ship, that ship was all gone.

That ship is aggressive. They didn't called ship bro type of ship I go there.

That ship was this ship right here wash.

This might be the moment he became David Ruffle.

This might be the day moment he became David Ruffling and nobody else wasn't.

That was a dope experience, man, I didn't play the NBA game. They flew into Minnesota. You know, KG is one of the guys. He's the reason I were twenty one to get the opportunity to be on the front cover of Sports Illustrated with him.

He showed love. What was a coverle boy got that that should cover us? Moment for me?

What was it like though? Talking to him soaking up game because he always you know, like.

My cousin them. They told me once I got in the league. I can't be a fan no more so that I wouldn't. He wasn't really showing me love like that, and I really wasn't showing him love.

It was just we cool, What up, bro? Do this picture? Because I knew eventually I.

Got to see you, so I didn't want to give him no edge over me to see him back. We weren't friends like that different back then when the changed notes or nothing like that. As you mind as like it wasn't. It wasn't friendly like that back in our day. So you know, it was a cool experience. I fuck with him, but we really didn't. Yeah, we really want it won all giggy and got got.

And when you took that picture, did they say, make a serious face. I'm serious all the time. I'm just asking what they I'm just as my nigga, I'm just asking.

I wasn't there.

Fuck you mean, I'm just want to know what before this not become what they said. It's like, d Miles do this and.

What you did anytime you see me, I look like this.

I just wanted to make sure that they didn't tell you to do something that was the that was he was the if they told you to you didn't do it. He was grown ass man. Even though he wasn't, he's that was his biggest I'm grown ass man. Don't play with me like that. When he was the youngest. Motherfucking they told you to do something.

You just did the opposite. You play this ship.

Fuck you men, man, Listen, I go through the ship with this nigga every day down he do the opposite of everything on purpose.

Man, I don't even know why you're here. We should have did this ship without you. Ship. I go through every day, y'all. This is not just on the show, y'all. So don't think we just got these niggas up here because we just did.

We talk every day, y'all. We funk around. We real potting us. So don't think we're just on some bullshit.

Yah.

Look, look, hold on, I look playing. That's the time capsule at the moment when you're looking at me.

I guarantee you I'm beeping with my staff after this ship over with, y'all. Promise, y'all, as I told them niggas tired of them and making me the butter of they motherfucking jokes, y'all, trust me, I'm beeping with these niggas soon as the show over.

Just y'all see that Illinois piece on me? Boy, that's representing right. That was hard when he got there.

To we'll talk about Jack, Jack, where's your middle tooth?

That so so so?

So, you know what, don't worry. I'm gonna handle all this ship after the show. Don't worry. I told him, motherfuckers about this ship. Don't worry. Don't worry, y'all.

I got y'all Chicago, Remember, I told y'all, I got this ship. Soon as the show over, I'm gonna handle this ship. I'm tired of this ship. Hey, go back to another one. So this was the hell of it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it, and go back to another one. You worry about it, go back to handle it.

Hold hold no no, no, no no no, go the other one. Hand it real quick. We're gonna get to that. We're gonna get to that. This was the hell of a time right here, y'all. Five X pro clubs, six X Pro.

Clubs, sweatsuits, the Walkers.

I don't know what the fuck Jack's wearing on his head, but that ship looked good.

For the time. I guess I was still handle it, y'all. You got your series.

He texted somebody right now, dead ass about to blow the whole ship up.

Dead ass series.

So what is uh? What do y'all remember most about this era? This is early two thousands, right, Yeah, we all remember most about this time.

I was at the that's bit was okay. Know, we was at a Jordan event that was the for.

The release of the seventeens. That's why we feel like the seventeens was our shoes. We did the commercial. Spike Lee shot the commercial like that was some dope. He never did a commercial, y'all. Like we was like ship we got to go to New York and then they said, Spike Lee, it's about being Spike Lee. Like we did a whole commercial shoe for it, and like they released it. We had a like event for it and we went too. So like to this day, we feel like that was our shoe.

You know it wasn't.

And the money a little bit longer, you know, that's the same change we walked in with us new one.

Yeah, that's new money.

Yeah that was different. Yeah, that wasn't that.

First Jack I was about to say a little while ago. I was getting hypnotized by your watching your bracelet.

Bro. That's just a whole lot of like when we first.

Damn you just ten times that All the spoke money is crazy, ain't it?

God? Damn that one thing you saying? My funck is up here a little yeah. I mean you see.

I don't know if y'all see our our Jordan Ford lab right here, he's wearing yeah, them all the smokes right.

There, the smoke force. I ain't going, yeah.

Aint y'all name after Jack. Ain't nobody gonna.

What's what's that? What's the other picture?

I ain't going, Oh.

There he is the late great rest in peace star brother Kobe Man. What do y'all remember about again, we were all growing up at the same time. I was in college, y'all was in the league. He was fresh in the league. What do y'all remember about that time with Cole.

Shit he was.

That's my dog though we never seen it.

I never seen him outside of the court, like I've never seen him nowhere. You never never seen him at an event. I didn't think that motherfucker even went home. I thought he was on the court all the time because like you didn't see him. You ain't even see him walk in this arena. He just appeared like like while I like just this and this competitive is like, you know, we was the Clippers. Man, we wanted, we wanted so bad to be themn they win a championship, championship.

Did you do you remember for me?

Man, it was just like you know, being from the crib, It's like, all right, fuck this nigga.

He ain't nice like that, so I'm gonna try and fuck him up.

But like it was like when you see that ship don't matter, and it's like it's a difference between like you know some people, you know, I.

Put a whole bone in the space. I know bros.

And ship.

But it's like once you see like he don't see entirely none of that ship.

Like period, it's like oh.

Holder okay, okay. And then you started like one game, then two games. Then it's like you can play nigga like ten games. You like, hold on, I want him still on this motherfucker and this place. Like he put you in that type of zone because like he was one of the most arrogant motherfuckers.

You was gonna find I'm telling he'll.

Say little shit like he'll do something like, I know we tell your story, right. We played this when I was with the heat, y'all all to see this ship. When he caught the ball at the top, that motherfucker took one jip and shot off one leg.

And hit it off the back right for the winner.

Yeah, you detaoy, motherfucker, you depos to come off the ball and double motherfucker fake did this.

And when he faked him and he saw.

He was about to getting come saying before he caught the ball, moatherfucker caught that being swept through. I'm standing under the basket. Watched it go, y'all. Swear to god, you go YouTube, but I watched it go through. Walk my ass off of the course, said this is crazy like and didn't find out. He said, oh when you miss coming, I said, see somebody got it. You gotta stand on him. You can't do shit with that. You can't do shit with after that. You gotta fight.

He ain't because he ain't fucked up nothing else.

And then he gonna turn around really trying to put fifty on them like fifty six. He ain't gonna lie thirty ain't enough. I'm gonna embarrass you now. I gotta damn you.

Gotta fuck him up. He gave it to go.

One time Spike Lee was talking ship to him. I come off the bench. I ain't even there. I got shit to do this shit he's going crazy, man, shout out to Wilson Chanyler. But he was going crazy on Willson's time. Mother fucker hit like sixty or something. As soon as he had just hit one from like the hats, I came in. I'm fresh in the game. This motherfucker Spike Lee was right there that bitches raised up. Bob

He probably just started smiling and he did it too.

Because like, bitch, I'm like, yo you, because you know how he is. He out there pill wed and plump fake and stepping through here. I'm like, nah, hell not like I'm about to get this. I'm about to get a quick two three or something and get up out of here the fuck that.

Jack?

Y'all had good battles. What was your findest memory with cod? I mean we all got the same memories. He busting all that.

Am I wrong? I mean coming up in high school, he was just different.

You know when you got somebody's sixteen fifteen, sixteen years old, I got to kill list and got all the top players on the list name on it.

I wouldn't.

I badly could write the fifteen sixteen. This nigga got his own kill list and five so you can barely write it forty five. Go ahead, nigga here man. I know how to cash a check though. That's all the matter got. Yeah, yeah, But Cope was just different, don He was just different, you know what I mean? And we all I looked up to him. We were the same age because just the player he wanted to be. I wanted to make it to the NBA and just

I want to.

I want to say this about Cole like he was him and Mike is like guys, when you guarding him, motherfucker bible to just do anything.

They shoot that bitch with his.

Left hand, he'll fade and you don't run into too many people like that. You can look at the scouting reports see all this motherfucker don't really like going left or he ain't good on the right side as he's good on the left side.

But with him it don't matter. Yeah, whereas it was all.

And that's why I say to this day that he don't get his due justice in the in the goat combo.

Me number two. To me, it's MJ and then gold, Yes, sir, that's that. And people could.

Tell me about points and this and that, but like until you then laced them up against these motherfuckers and really know what it is, you know the difference.

I promise you. That's all I can say.

I can't talk to the people that never did that and never had a chance to play against whoever your one two, three four are I know who they say the one two three, And I know I didn't play against all the motherfuckers, and I know one of them. Don't feel it ain't the same These two Paul's did and not feel the same. But it ain't the same. It wasn't like like I say, like you know, it's a top seventy five right when you get up in the top seventy five, it's a special room reserved for

Yeah, that's my opinion.

Though I ain't give it up for cold man straight up twy y'all had a lot of battles summertime in LA and then obviously in the league. What do you remember most about Cod one of your favorite stories?

Well, first argument that start where he's a part of the greatest draft class ever nineteen ninety six.

Let's start with that light up talk your ship.

Yeah you so, But no, with Cob, obviously I had I was very fortunate enough to be an Adidas kid with him. We both signed with Adidas coming out, so I got a chance to travel. Jack was Steve know that he's with us Adida's kid.

Let us smoke weed in his house as players.

Nelly let his dog ship before we practiced on the court. What you had a.

Dog that was at practicing court right before a practice dog? For my line at that's my fucking just been through it just starts shipping and right for an NBA practice time.

That like indicative and how cool he was was that.

Traded to Dallas and three in the preseason game and get traded right before the season started. Played the last preseason game with Nellie. He to coach, I get an air one. I started doing my dance. Mother fucker took me out the game and said, you don't do that here. Don't shiit me here. I don't know how cool Nelly is.

Ship.

This is how cool he was when we took our last drug tests in Utah for the season. By time we come out to tunnel, he's standing like this, giving me and bet high five.

Then y'all to smoke. Frame. This is all facts.

So that's how cool he was with us. Matter of fact, he was so cool when we beat Dallas in the first round. He stayed on the top of the top of the roof. He had the roof, he had the whole condo. So we called us upstairs. As soon as me and Matt walk in the building. This is the first thing he say, Hey, Jack, Woody, Harrison and or Wilson in the back rolling.

Dubies, go smoke with thro him in his house crib.

Oh, we had to coach Bird.

What do we burn? Super Burn? I love him to this day. John Nelson, I.

Don't want to do this game. Who is someone who kind of mentioned you on the way up?

Not really most of the teams. Every team I played for really Sanoks. It was like a young team. But Sean Rooks, Sean Rooks, George, he was looking.

And then our assistant coach Dennis Johnson, he was somebody who was you know what I'm saying with somebody who he was on our leftl one can check us anytime you needed to, and we had super dupid respect for him. So he was somebody who resonated with us.

Question, here we go, Q, with all your teammates, your all time starting five, start thinking what everybody.

Dwight real quick?

You got to play with him before he was How amazing was Dwight Howard?

The white Howard one hundred percent belonged to the top seven?

No question.

It was bullshit and he wasn't put in it, and it wasn't based on his basketball ship. It was based on what people's feelings were about him at the time. But you can't take away what he did out there on that court. That motherfucker was one of the most dominant motherfuckers to ever play this game. He shut ship down. Say he laughed, they could say he smiled. They can say whatever they want to say, but I'm telling you, when I played against him and when I played with.

Him, he was dominant.

All Right. My name is Chris. I got a question from Matt Barnes. Yeah.

I watched the dunk contest every year, and I kind of get a little disappointed.

So I go back and watch Vince Carter's joint.

What I also watch when your former teammate DeAndre Jordans put Brandon Knight in the Kaufman right.

I look at everybody's reaction on the court, but I see yours.

You had to swallow your jersey and ran straight down the sideline because I just.

Felt like I had witnessed the murder and I just want them to ask me no questions. Yeah, I didn't want them to ask me no questions, so I just ran. It was if y'all ever see this as the Lob City Clippers, Chris Paul comes off a pick to the right side and I had just hit it three before Brandon Knight for some reason snuck in and try to be a hero and block that Lob and DeAndre Jordan.

I ain't seen Brandon Knight since.

So I wanted.

I wanted to ask you, fellas, what's the what's the nastiest dunk y'all have ever seen on the court?

And from which one of your teammates one you want to you want to start it off? Who got something to come out to jack.

Doing drop step wind Mills.

Razy ship.

Was your could be you the nastiest dunk the gotta be our teammate, or it could be you or somebody. You can shut yourself out if that person.

I love JO, but preseason will be your first dunk on j O.

In preseason, we played a fucking Oakland College in the Ana state, last state.

Whatever it was. It wasn't on TV or nothing. I can't even you can't google nothing, but it was. It was one soaking wedding. You thought he was two for either way. He came down to me, Bud.

It was the craziest dunk played against. Vince called a wind milled. Oh and that was in l A too, And I kind of like waved of them.

That's why I was that off a live No, I call that bitch in the lane. Took one bitch through the lane and wind mill.

Yeah.

Vince Carter had to be my favorite one too. When he dunked on the lines of the morning, played them open at night.

He had that bitch over here.

Yeah, he dunked on that was I was on that team. I was right there. I was nasty.

You laughed, didn't you?

I know?

And I know VI was the nastiest one I have seen person Carolinko Calk.

That was one of my hold Look though I can't, I can't let us all get up out of be up here and like how black please?

We have never asked them your your favorite question? You need to know his and his? Well, who's the first person to bust your last? To leave?

We ain't like these niggas now we go out of everybody. Yeah. Yeah, they tricked you. They tricked I feel for it. That's my pot. No not so what's cool? True? Yeah? He served me? Oh look I want to know what what?

What was it?

Already told him tell the people to bust my ass, Scottie. When I first came in the league, I was a small forward. What are you doing hitting them bank shots? Like? What do you doing?

It was a small four of my first year league. You know, I ain't never god no more like that quick long you know I mean athletic. So that was the Scottie Pipper was me first year ill paid the three. I wanted a lot of punishment at that three.

Want.

I won't know when y'all got comfortable with you back because I played with y'all don't even know.

I played with Matt twice, Nick Nicks and the Clippers and Nate Robinson got me.

Cut this motherfucker here first of all, they got they you participated because the class clowns fucking in that bitch doing crazy ship. Now what I told y'all when y'all start the prank wars, prank wards, do this do that to each other. He was doing him Jared Jeffries and Nate Robert, Oh my god, bro crazy ship.

When I say crazy shit, crazy ship.

Motherfuck got me with itching powder one time with my tights during practice and we had Larry Brown.

But I ain't doing hey, yom yo, listen.

The funniest ship is watching somebody put some ship on it got itching powder in it and they don't know it, and then watching the progression of them itching.

We sitting that motherfucking shit there for us.

He like.

He time I'm up for Like damn hew, mofucker? Like did it get to the point to where it's so bad? He's like, Yo, something ain't right on tripping like yo, like teenage?

What the fuck y'all did to all damn assholes?

I'm not taking that one, bro. They would go too far.

He put Nate one time, and when they put the egg slax in Eddie cereal, Eddie shitting on itself. Had to miss the game from dehydration. Like this is this is nixt story. Like, I swear to god, I could write a fucking book The New York Times my time with my four years with the Niggs.

Y'all bet google that time we had going on. But I ain't gonna hold you. That ship was crazy ship.

I'm sorry. What what's your name? Next question?

God?

Damn Hey, my name is Ariel. I'm from Inglewood, the best neighborhood in Chicago.

I took you that, you took me? What's up?

What's happened telling the motherfuckers I've been in every hood at Chicago.

Y Yeah, y'all got fired fucked up.

I pulled a.

Yes, but no, seriously, you know, we took Jack everywhere, you know, and he was with our community.

He know what my grandma say, Yes he is Chicago.

And but what I wanted to know is, because I'm out here burying your kids, burying your moms and stuff like that, how do we get our young man and man period back into basketball? Because we have Basketball City and they picking up guns instead of basketballs And y'all made it, Hugh, you from the Honeys, I got tasked you from me, Saint Louis, my cousin's there, you know, you Inglewood. So how do we get them back into that?

For me, I'll say, great question, Nah, I definitely appreciate that. For me, I say, it's programming. Like you know, when we grew up, we had we had coaches that cared about us, that came and picked us up and made sure we were gonna be where we're supposed to be. My boy, Kamile Murray, he raised a lot of money with the community and he built excess tennis community out there right there.

So what we're doing now, he got a lot of land he owned.

We about to do a basketball portion of that to try and bring that and berth that back into the city.

But like right now, he booming though with the tennis. You know what I'm saying.

He coaches Sloan Stevens and he's been doing it big and like for the community. Like you know what I'm saying, a lot of little kids, little girls and boys come through there for tennis. And now we're about to flip it over and develop the other part of the land into a basketball because that's something that I'm extremely passionate about and want to see. Like Kwan said, we ain't had shit. Nobody Cray from the city and I'm like

What the fuck is is? That's what I'm used to and it's not being like that. It's weird to me.

So we're definitely trying to get that back into the city and implement programs to you know, put that availability out there for you.

Give it else, give it up.

And I'm just just answer your question too for Chicago, just so you guys can start. You guys, what we got to do is get our park district right. I know you guys are not from here, but our park districts got to get stronger. We got to start in our own neighborhoods and put nets on the rims and get back to pay that so the kids can go play in their own neighborhoods. All our parks are messed up. We only we can't play in our own parks. And these guys couldnt test that. When you in your neighborhood,

I could shout out. I could shout out Nancy leaving them in her chairs. I can't remember all the men in the Huntings, but my part that I grew up hooping in a cool part. We refurbished and did a whole new court sport court with the you know, with the material and not just concrete and did glass and convertible backboards and everything.

So we did that a couple of years ago when I played with Nancy in the Big Three.

So Nancy doing a great job. Yeah, and she do that all around the country and a lot of communities. So shout out to her for coming to my community and doing that out there. Cool parts, you know.

Yeah, I definitely think it's for the people who made it to definitely go back to where you're from and make sure you saw a different light of success. I think parents wise, we just need to communicate more. You know, give our kids more financial literacy, talk to our kids and communicate more. You can be in the house with your with your parents for so many years and not talk about nothing that will help you grow up in life.

That's a good point, but you got a real quick too, for you get the next question. A lot of that stuff is there's money in the city for it. People just have to go and ask for it. You have to know who to ask. And then another thing is voting. You've got a medium turn around. So we got elections coming up soon, man, So y'all tap into that next question.

Oh yeah, my name is Daryl from Indiana and it's for Stack five, which uh the best of seventh series. For your teammates, who would you pick? Any other Pacers or the Spurs?

Shout out the Naptown man. I would definitely pick the Spurs. Let me tell you why.

Y'all had a really good team in Indiana, though, I'm gonna tell you why. Yeah, they had a really good team that.

We're gonna fight. I'm going with Indiana.

But if we talk about basketball, Spurs gonna sweep the shit out of Yeah, you just Tim. I'm going with Tim Duncan over anything to appreciate, Bro, appreciate you.

Pulling up to next question, Hello.

Everybody, thank you for letting me be here. My name is Victoria Williams, and I have the first cannabis transportation license in the state of Illin. Right then, all right, then I opened the craft bro Smoke so and I am launching the very first female bake line called waken Bait to empower women in the cannabis space.

Right, all right, all right, all right, thank you.

So my question is for Stacks because I met you last summer outside of Viola.

I you was not hiding. Okay, okay, you was not hiding. Do any of you guys vape?

That's the first question, And the second question is what would be your pros and cons to people of color who are trying to get into this fast growing industry that continues to face barriers.

What advice would you give them?

Well, no, I don't vape. I like to roll my flower. I like to see what I'm rolling. You know what I'm saying. I like to pearl my own. I don't want shall with nobody that needs the whole blood to get high. So I ain't even going to all that. But uh I ain't going to tell all that. Yeah, the whole differences. But uh no, I think what's the second question? He knows he grown to be talking about weed? I started getting emotional.

Good advice would give?

Oh, yeah, I got I got I got it. I think for the most what the advice I would give you is don't be afraid to get game from somebody else that's been in the business. I think a lot of times, especially as as black people, we think we can't learn from each other or come behind somebody and learn from them to be great. We feel like we got to start off in the lead or start off being the boss. It's a lot of black people that's in this business already, that's in this space that are

Game because it's because it's a cash business. It's a cash business.

So I think if you get with people, especially prominent black people that's been in this business for a long time, that know the game, I think that's the best way for you to get into it. But don't go into it blind because that's how you lose a lot of money. That's how you end up getting screwed in the game, and and and and end up wasting a lot of money. So don't be afraid to take advice from somebody from your own skin color.

That's my advice. Thank you, pee wee. What up full?

I got a kind of a personal relationship with that guy right there in the middle.

Yeah, I went to the same school. Yeah tickets. Okay, wait, what up? Way with twyn two?

For Mike Fihn Mikes and don't forget Brown shout out.

Yeah, I'll not question this.

For twron walker Steve Haunter, who came up with the whole slogan employee number eight.

Good question.

I'm gonna be honest with you. It was Adidas. I can't even take credit for it. I got drafted by the Celtics, and anybody knows Celtic history. I wore twenty four in college. That's the great I think Bob Coosey number if I'm not mistake, but Celtis. But anyway, that Celtis don't have a lot of numbers. So I just chose eight randomly, and then Adidas was like, little we gonna call it, you know, put a little slogan behind the new kids on the block, the number eight employee number eight slogan.

So it wasn't me. It was all from Adidas. And that's ship mark Okay, shout out. He was doing real well around that time. To one.

I didn't take the credit for that. I just really picked eight because they didn't the Celtius. Anybody knows Celtic history, they don't have.

Any umberny numbers left.

They don't got a lot of numbers left, so I just picked eight.

Good question. Last question for you, twe yes your favorite jay Z song?

Oh he's paying on my you know, I like hold.

He said that oh Man dead presidents.

One or two ninety six, reasonable doubt once should have went I know of one six ninety six.

Thank you.

I appreciate you guys Brandon here. We had a question earlier about what we could do for the youth. I'm partnering with Brilliance and Excellence, who came with forty five kids to today where our nonprofits along with a lot of other nonprofits Operation Basketball as well, there's a lot of other ones.

Sorry, I'll get to my question, but take I how to take the time to please make this known.

Shit.

We're on a march led by a thousand young boys and men of color on the West Side. We're gonna be finishing at Garfield Park. We'll have a basketball tournament, opportunity fair will have access to mental health, access to jobs, access to financial literacy. So we have something planned in order to help kids continue during the summer, which we know are the most troubling months here in Chicago.

We are activating at the parks.

We will have a program called Hoops Therapy at multiple parks this summer where we get kids games, practice as well as access to a licensed mental therapist. So we are taking these steps. I got Dylan's information so we can send it out. Would love if you guys could help us in any way with promotion or anything like that. Twan, We'd love to have you out. Q, would love to have you out the anyone that wants to come. We want to have as many people. There's works with the

Uh Bari obviously just finished up the season. He'll be back next week.

But Twane Q, who are the toughest guards that y'all ever had, the people that you ever had to play against in Chicago?

That's easy for me. It was mcghetti Okay, that was one, A, one B my whole like he was the for me.

I played against Corey the first time in sixth grade and I was still probably like five ten or some shit like that. Corey was six four and fucking cut up like he is now Duncan and everything. The first time I saw Corey mcghetty, he was playing the He was from Maywood, Maywood Paces or whatever the fuck team he played for.

I'm looking at this motherfucker, like, who the fuck is he? Like six four fucking shitzued and athletic as hell. And then obviously, you know what I'm saying, next couple of.

Years, like he went from six seventh grade to like the number one eighth grade in America when half Nike half for this he was the rabbit for me, Like you know what I'm saying, I'm chasing him the whole time, the whole time. And it was like by the time we got to be juniors, like we played together and everything, but we got the my junior senior year we played each other. He was senior year, he was number one. I was number one team to stay, he was number two,

Freeze on your ass and then throw he was throwing it on.

I promise you he was the most athletic motherfucker because it was he wasn't like a Ronnie Fields athlete. He was like a mix between Ronnie and Paul McPherson where he's strong as fucked, but he's man like you know what I'm saying, Like like he was a hybrid where he was like stoopid it fast, stupid strong, while he was a pure fucking crazy, crazy athlete. And you see you walk up on fifty today and that bitch still

Bought none for me.

For me, it would be Juwan Howard. Now, yeah, he was a little older than me. I think he's two years old than me. But he was one guy that I had to go through play against every summer and he got me better. Juwan was the one guy because he was very versatile. He can have some of the same similar skill sets. So that's the one guy that pushed me every summer. I got a chance to play against him for six seven summers. That got me better throughout the again, especially in the beginning of my NBA.

Career at least you ain't get the Ferrari.

And to answer your question seriously, man, I would love to help you too with the kids too as well. I don't want you to I don't want to take that for granted, I'm local. These guys ain't, so if you know what I mean, it's probably a little harder

So I don't want you to think that I would love that. So what I'll help out in that sense.

Through h Q and d Q.

We've been knowing each other for a long time, played against each other in college. D we locked in and met in LA But it's just been dope to see the impact you guys had on the culture. Like I said, we're all the same age, but you guys were in the league before me. But to see you guys doing it and putting a name on the Clippers and bringing excitement back there, that really encouraged us. You know, the next time also with the Clippers, and we took it to another level with that Lob City team.

Man.

So we just want to really show you guys love in your NBA journey but also post post journey. Again, you guys were in this ship first, and I think sometimes you guys get looked over, but we appreciate you guys. We love you guys for who you are and what you've been doing and what you brought to this game if you think about it now. Although you guys weren't the first, you're the first that comes to mind, and you guys started changing what sports media looks like, you know what I mean, So we met to.

Make sure you guys understand and give it up for that one time. You know, I feel, I really feel like sports media is changing now. And although there will always be the big names and the big companies, I know you guys are rather hear from motherfuckers that actually did it, and you guys really were one of the first groups of guys to do that and share your

So we really appreciate you guys for doing this.

Jack, you and my dog Bro.

We've been riding together for a long time ago I want to continue to build and really, Chicago, we want to thank you guys for welcome us. This is our first live show.

Man.

You guys definitely set the bar man, So give yourself a hand.

How you how do you just have a joning session in the live show? Bro?

How you just have a joning session? And Man, I fuck with old boy. Shout out the old boy that come. I've been fried my ass just this. I fuck with you bout you know, I'm a real.

Nah man.

We appreciate you. You know y'all doing what y'all doing. Man, Like you said, same where we started. We watch y'all doing y'all doing like you said. Everybody out there like this. This is this is real.

This is love. And we fuck with each other.

We've been doing it a long time, been fucking with each other for a long time. Like you said, a lot of people don't know it, but we spoke to each other before shit got going. And I I didn't know ship when I was telling them, but the ship that I did know, I shared with them, and like you know what I'm saying, it was it was shit.

Do y'all ship? And when they got out here doing that ship. We support them, they support us, So it's all love. It's not like this. We we competed for a long time in the league. This is no longer a competition.

This space is enough for all of us to get in here and do our ship and get money and make our way and be able to take care of our families.

And it's fun. Dog Like, I don't understand we life is fuck with jack. I didn't even want to sit by.

Y'all.

That's how y'all know. But real ship, like, like we all of us sitting up here, man, real talk. We blessed we would be sitting somewhere talking ship about regardless hoops, regardless if somebody was paying us do it.

So the fact that we get to do ship, come out here and put on a live show, and y'all come out and have a good time, and we're doing something that that we genuinely loved.

We ain't never stopped being fans of the league.

But before we got that, we was fans when we was in it, even though in our era we couldn't really express it. We was fans into and fucking right, we fans now we fans of these dudes doing their thing. It's different than how we did it, but were not the old dude sitting.

On the porch talking shit about we fans.

And we love what they doing even though it's their own way. And they making hell of bread and were happy for that ship too, and we know the bricks we laid in that foundation for them to get that.

I got four sons. One of them motherfuckers gonna catch damn right. Hey man, I want to, I want to. I want to thank the fans because none of us wasn't the face of the NBA. None of us wasn't the guys that they was putting their money behind. It felt like that felt like they could carry the league. But y'all know we was the real ones. We made the live go around.

So the fact that y'all still supporting us, the fact that y'all coming out and showing us love, we appreciate y'all. You know what I'm saying, because we can't do shit without y'all. Y'all know when we support each other, we win all the time. So we just appreciate y'all our team to support the real man, because the real back and style.

No doubt, do you got anything on the way out. Man, appreciate it. Brdy, I appreciate y'all. I don't fuck with Jack, but you know I appreciate y'all.
