What's so dope is Willie d Is saying this to me like my nickname, you know what I mean? And I know what I did or whatever, like y'all don't know how I looked up to y'all like Alan, you you bro. I we

Bro, Allen, do you know that he was about this tall you were you were crumbling on niggas coming down like wow, like look at this little bit a nigger coming down there with the with with a heart like fucking mighty mouth. The feeling is, the feeling is mutual. It's mutual, you know what I mean. I got up on y'all dudes, tough, tough,

I do probably people that were more man haters, got haters hate us, hate on hate us a lot of times. A lot of times people hate hate on you because they want to be They wish they were you, so oh they really hated If you won't, I don't know if you want this life, but but Um, if I can do it all over again, I'll do it this way.

I come back the same dude. She mean, I love the people that love me. I love him yeah too hard. Yeah, Like you know, I don't want to be I don't want to be nobody else. I love being me, you know what I mean? Do I want more for my life? Do I want better and all that ship? Yeah, but I'm cool with being me. Jack did that. Jack sucked them up. Let's go back to your humble beginnings. Man Hampton, Virginia Happening Newport News. I'm I'm I'm I'm seven cities. Yeah,

because people get piste off me when one place. Yeah, you gotta you gotta claim. Yeah, I'm I'm Virginia's That's fine, Virginia. Let's go. Let's go back to Virginia, you know, like where it all started. Uh. And I say humble beginners

because it's not just a figure speech. I mean, like you're a humble dude to have accomplished all the things that you've accomplished, and you know, to be at the level that that you're at, and and and haven't done all the things that you've done, you know, throughout the whole process. I remember when you know you was going through all the crazy things that you was going through, you remained humble the entire time. And I think that's your blessing. You know, you were raised by a single mother.

Your mother asked, my, my, my, my pap? Was my pap? Was your pops in the house? He spent um he was sixty five, right, he spent half of his life in prison, but he was there. I can't use that excuse. But when was he inside the house, Well, y'all just had a relationship and out they was up and down, right, you know what I mean. But that's my partner, Like,

that's my man. I don't have that excuse. I can't Well, you know, I wasn't really really really really aiming it as an excuse, framing it as an excuse, because, uh, there have been people that grew up in single parent households, raised by single mothers who has done some outstanding things. Some there are some single mothers out there who are outstanding. You know, they took on more than their share. You know, anytime you take on more than your share, I think

you know you out of sight. But your your mom name is an right. I was her middle name is, and like that's my mom's middle name also. So that's why we click, that's we click. We were raised by

some ants. So but but your mom still was there a lot of time, you know, where it was she had to take on, you know, more than her share was right, Was there any time that this was going on, like when you was here being raised that you felt like, you know, your mom had to wait the world on our hands and you had to do something about it to help her out. Yeah. Like I remember, I remember being in school and I was sucking up, like you know, I won't go into classes and I just won't doing right.

And I remember coach Thompson m bring me in the office and he was like, um, you know you up here. You know you eat three times a day. No, you got heat, you got a c um, you got everything, and mommy at home fucked up, you know what I mean? Um, no lights, um, no heat. Hm. And he was like, you're cool with that, right, So you're gonna suck it up. You ain't gonna make sure, oh we do. That's a good point right there. Man. I would just like I will get right back focused, you know what I mean?

On what the fuck the agenda at hand was because I had that, I had to take care of my my lady man, my family. Technically, uh talks to change your life. Huh. Yeah. He saved my life. He saved you, bro, He saved my life. He he was he was dog,

he was the guy. Like Mommy went up there when I when I got locked up, Mommy went up there and and she begged basically for my life, like because I was recruited by everybody like football, basketball, number one player in the country, football and basketball, and when I got in that situation. Can you talk about that situation now or would you rather just keep the book closed. I'm an open book. That's why I'm out. But but let's let's let's go back a little bit first though.

Let's let's because I want to like really get to understand who you are as a man. You know how you got there, you know when you were being raised. You know what was the rules, like you know, like and what was the relationship between your parents, like and and and do you have siblings? Yeah? Okay, so a couple of sisters. I got a little brother, So what was that structure? Like? Up, man, I love I love hard. You know what I mean, um, I love I and I'm I'm, I'm, I'm me, you know what I mean.

It's kind of like, um, when when when motherfucker's say, um, you're a real one, You're a real one, you know what I mean? That ship is so cliche, you know what I mean. But at the same time, I understand, Like I understand what when people say that to me, I understand what they mean, you know what I mean, because I'm just me, Like I'm trying to be nobody else. I'm I'm, I'm everybody else taken up. I can't be Brad Jordan. I can't be Willi d You know what I mean. All I can be is Alan Irrison. You

know what I mean. I can't be the most handsome nigger in the world, the most richest motherfucker in the world, the most smartest motherfucker in the world. I'll take their handsome ship back. No, But like, I can't be I can't be the best, I can't be the best everything. Like I try to be who the funk I am? I try to be me man, and I don't try. It's just like my sister loved me, you know what I mean. My brother loved me my mom love me, my dad loved me, my homeboys love me, my fans

love me. You know what I mean. Like I'm me dog, Like I don't try to be nobody else. You know what I mean, Like I don't I don't want to be nobody else. You know what I mean. As much as I love this motherfucker right here, You know what I mean, And y'all motherfucker's theme music to my life and ship like that, I can't be y'all. You know what I mean. I can't be nobody else as much as I love Michael Jordan much as I love Michael Jackson. Man, I'm me. I'm cool with being me, you understand. And

it's and this little motherfucker's out here. That's you know that that I've seen at the game yesterday. I'm at a Houston Rockets game. Dude ten years old, you know what I mean. And they rocked with Chuck. I don't know if that daddy put him on that ship or whatever, but the dopest feeling in the world. And I know him getting emotional right now talking about this type of stuff.

You know what I mean? Man? I just I love who the funk I am and who my mom made me who my dad made me, and all my homeboys from around my way to believe in me, and my family that believe in me. You know what I mean, I'm about to go on this motherfucker on Sunday All Star Sunday, Top seventy five ever, Top seventy five best ever where I come from. Oh, motherfucker's try to take it away from me. They tried to take it away from me, and I don't. And Coach Thompson always said

that about me when he talked about me. I ain't complained like I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't blame the people in Virginia because everybody in Virginia don't fucking dislike me. Some people wanted minds to win. A lot of people wanted you to community, and I wanted up. I had no championship and nothing, you know what I mean? Like I wrote that letter to Kobe, and I meant that like he a champion. He was, He was a champion. He got rings, he got rings on top of rings.

But explain that letter. When did you write it? I don't know, And that's some real ship. Like I don't, I don't, I don't know when I wrote an estimate time, estimated time, I wrote it like maybe, um maybe, like right, I think right after you got a championship, don't you and Phil it? What the fuck? Y'all went to the dance though? Right they beat us, they knocked us off? Who was it? Like two for they beat us? We won game one and we lost. Yeah, I wrote that, Willie.

I think I wrote it right after, right after, and I meant every word because that was my motherfucker. Man, That motherfucker brought so much out of me, like the most top. I mean, y'all had no idea, Man, that motherfucker board out of me. Man. Yeah, you know you brought a lot out of out of your competitors also because you pretty much was unstoppable man like, and talk

about fearless. That's why so many people, especially dudes that I know, like I know a lot of cats from the streets and all these guys, we just loved your heart, your fearlessness. I mean, you're going that pain, you don't give a damage. The dude was eight feet tall, you know, going up, you're going in the paint, you're crossing up. It didn't matter, like never just listen, listen, to me, listen to me, why not you man? Like my mentor Gary Moore, he's my manager, but he's my mentor. Heat

meant so much to me. He's like a father thinking to me. And he was like, why not you? You know what I mean? If it's you and me, it's me. That ain't cocky. That ain't arrogance. That ain't that ain't that ain't that ain't arrogance. It's just confidence, man, Like, who can funk with you? Right? You tell me? You know what I'm saying? And and and and and and That's how I was when I when I played the game, like, man, I don't care about you being seven feet tall, Like

I don't man, I'm me like I'm I'm man. God gave me this. It wasn't it ain't it ain't like you know, you're being arrogant or nothing. But God gave you that talent. So why wouldn't you think that that talent is better than any talent that was given? H How old were you when you started realizing that talent? Like when you got into sports, how old were you? Eight?

And you chose football basketball first? Football? It's a quarterback, But I said, I saw him as a quarterback that would take off on you and hey, you haven't seen it his highlights. My man, my man, Mike, my man, Mike. One up me. He the baddest football player. It used to be me. Oh ship, but the fun you up. I need to come back, man, I need to come back. Well I'm talking about dude man, Like you could have really wrote your ticket to football that it didn't matter

what you wanted to do. You could have done either. How how did you resolve to go towards basketball this situation? Okay, like they stopped recruiting me when I got in the bowling okay, yeah, yeah, So you had the bowling alley

incident when you were in high school. He was getting ready to go to college and they come after like like this was this was this was walk us through it because from what I understand, it was somebody was making some type of racial statement towards y'all or something like that, and then a fighting sued and they came after you instead of going after the people who actually started. I was the guy in there that everybody know I was. I was basically, um, I was reilroaded. Mm hm you

know what I mean? Like I don't like to use them the radio card because I ain't no racist, Like I ain't no racist motherfucker, you know what I mean? Many white boys and different How do you say this ship at ethnic ethnicities? Ethnicities? Yeah, I love everybody, you know what I mean? Um, we kind of we're closer in the same and that regard because but I love everybody I played with, But I played with dude, nobody that I love who loved me and I hate to hate me. I love who loved me, and I hate

who hate me. You know what I mean? Well me, I'm the hate that hate produced. So dog, it was, it was, it was. It was all bad. It was. It was. It was like it was like, um, and it bothered me to talk about it now and I'm gonna leave this alone. Um, but it was like, man, you know, I when when when you grow up, you being an awesome rapper. You've been an awesome rapper, and everybody's saying we can't wait for you to make it. You're gonna make it. You're gonna you know what I mean,

You're gonna be the ship that blah. And then when it happened, it's like that motherfucker, he don't do nothing for me, you know what I mean, Like, what do you do for me? You understand? Like, and it was like like it fucked me up and it hurt me that regardless white, black, or whatever, the people from my hometown tried to railroad me and I represent them the best way, yeah I can, Like I try to be

a solid motherfucker. I try to be the best dude that I can be, and I try to represent my city, um the best way I can and the honest way I can, you know what I mean. And for them to do that to me, it sucked me up and it took it took a while for me to recover from from that ship because you know, like I got homeboys that ain't my homeboys the more you know what I mean, and that ship hurt dog, you know what I mean, because you you you think, like what the

fund did you do? Because you started questioning yourself, you know what I mean, Like, you know, why would my homeboys not fun with me no more? But at the same time, look at them, motherfucker's too. They wouldn't funk with you anymore because you started where they started and they're still there. That's why. But man, Willie, I ain't never do that. All I ever did I'm saying is that What I'm saying is that you moved on as far as like your growth, your career. You had a career,

you had, you pursued your goals. I had to get in pursuit and and and y'all started in the same place. Y'all went, y'all walk the same streets, y'all went to the same schools, y'all played on the same playground, and y'all had the same and y'all probably slept at each

other houses and eight eight at each other's houses. So they really really know you more than everybody else know where you and you grew, you moved further, you took it another, you took it somewhere else, and they are they were still stuck in that same place, and they resent you for that. And let me tell you something else. Let me tell you this right here. I swear to God on my life, on my life, I wish them nothing but the best, man, I don't. I hope they prospered.

I hope their kids are fine. I hope the family is great and all that. We just don't rock no more, you know what I mean? I wish the best for him. I wouldn't. I wish the best for I wish no harm on him or nothing. Jack. You know what I mean? I want, I want the best for all of my homeboys that I don't funk with no more. And I don't know. And I don't know because like like what motherucker's say, what they're saying, and um in relationships, uh

um they motherfucker's grow apart or something like that. Yeah, you know what I mean. I don't believe in that, Like I ain't. I've been with my girl thirty years. I ain't trying to grow apart, you know what I'm saying, Like, I ain't trying to grow apart from her, you know what I mean. That's all I got. That's my lady. That's we were together a fucking month after we got divorce after thirteen years. You know what I mean, all me, all my funk ups, all me. You know what I mean.

But I don't believe in that grow apart ship. You know what I mean. I think when you and another individual is authentic with each other and his love and I'm supposed to go nowhere, Jack, for clarity, you said that y'all were together. You you meant to say that y'all were apart for a month after y'all divorced, and then y'all connected. We were, we were. We got divorced in thirteen, Yeah, and we were together, um less than

a month after that. Y'all got back together less after that. Yeah. Yeah, I had to do some I had to do some bagging. So that was the same year that you retired in two thousand thirteen. I retired and I got divorce in thirteen. I retired in ten. Right, I thought you retired in two thousand retired, Man, I'm not. He did it? What it's hey? Yo? Want a ten? Yeah? I retired in ten, two thousand ten. Yeah, come on, what are you fucking

me up? I got a good one for you. When when Um, when Um Philadelphia came down to play the Rockets, we set on the floor, me and my son, the oldest boy, and um Al came to the bench, you know, at the halftime. Man, he sat down next to us. Man took his shoes off scoom and he signed both of them shoes to my son. October two thousand Appreciate it. You know, I'm I might I might have been washed

up then, Yeah, for me to think that. But he signed both of his shoes, took him off his feet and signed him and gave him a boy man and walked to the locker room bad foot it. That's just what kind of dude he is. Man. Its super solid from day one. Broa always man, big dog status, always kept one. You know, that's my things on. I don't know why because he was awesome on that motherfucker you

and him for a long time. Man, Yeah, yeah, God damn you go through the situation with uh the to hit you with what charge naming by mab by mat. They gave me, they gave me, They gave me fifteen years, and they suspended they suspended I think they suspended time like I was. I was, Um. I didn't go to the I didn't go to the penitentiary. I went to in the correctional facility. Yeah, uh like a halfway house. But they had me on the side with the the guys that was in a halfway so they was going

to work every day. But they put me on that side because obviously who I was, and like the most time that you could have in there was um was five years, you know what I mean? Four months he was in there for four months. So he was in there for four months. Why are you in there? Your life is flashing before you. You're saying to yourself, Man, damn if I can get out of this, God, come on God. And then my lawyers was telling me every day that I was getting out. That's what that was

what made it hot. Like one of the guys that we were just discussing earlier that I don't funk with no more, but I still love him. He was telling me, Bro, you're not getting out, Get the funk out of here. He was telling me that. But he was helping me because I was thinking every day. My lawyers was telling me every day that I was coming home. So they every day they like, you're gonna get out tomorrow. You're gonna get out tomorrow. You're gonna get out tomorrow. And

then like, I'm in this motherfucker. And I remember him telling me. He was like, um now he visited and he was like, yo, why you got that cross on because I got somebody to make me across and yeah, you know what I mean, and and and he was like yo, what what what you doing to him? Like you know, I'll just be reading the Bible and blin and he was like, what the fund you reading the Bible for? What was you reading the Bible when you were out? And I'm like, like, that's what dudes doing here?

And he basically was telling me like, motherfucker you go. You into that mystique of like basically, um, what what what when when dudes getting locked up? What is the ship? They? What is no? Um? You get um? Um? What's the ship? You get? Uh? Like when guys come out and and and they still stuck in the program. Yeah, but they institutionalized yeah, like you know what I mean, like why are you doing that? You're not getting out of here, man,

so do your time, but look but listen. It helped me, yeah, because I in my mind, I'm thinking I ain't going nowhere. Like when you get out, you get your ass on that motherfucking court man. The motherfucker my man pain. He ran, He ran to jail man, put up a new court in that joint everything. You know what I mean? When I when I when I first looked, when I first started playing out there, they was filing me so crazy. I mean I called ball one time, my ball. Motherfucker

looked at me like are you serious? Like this ain't bathroom, motherfucker. You know where you were at? No fouls out here. I went and told him that ship, and he let me come out for an hour or two every day, just work on my game. So when I got out, I was published. I was ready. I was ready. Straight to Georgetown, like, um, I went there. I think I went there. Alonzo Morning was there with coach. That's my partner too. Yeah, And and I went right from jail

um to getting on the court. That was a time before you went to Georgetown that you had to wait to see what Governor Douglas do, what kind of decision he would make in your case. And I know that had to be that have to be a very very nervous time for you right there, huh, just waiting to try to see if they were gonna give you some relief.

I thought he was gonna do it. I mean, thinking back on, I don't know, man, I think he was going to do it because of everything I heard about him, what type of man he was, you know what I mean, like, and he knew that it was some bullshit, you know what I mean like. And then those people, like those people in Virginia, they fought for me, man, they did. I know. I saw that. It was like they they fought for me. Man. I saw a special on Alan and um that's funny. You called me Alan my bad Chuck.

But I saw a special man and they put that in there. Man. And I know that Coach Thompson put put a lot to you, bro, you know, and for you to turn out, you know what you turned out to be in the NBA from that right there. Like, it's extremely impressive, brod that I ain't done making them proud. Man, I'm not. I'm not done making him. I ain't did enough. It's little dudes, o't hear that? I gotta Oh yeah, you gott you got some more ships that? Did you

ever tell coach we can't talk about no game. We're talking about practicing. We talked, man, listen, so this is my last time doing this? Um, I'm talking about Thompson. Did you ever tell him that this is my last time doing it? Whatever? Man, I never told him that. I know. I wouldn't brave enough to do no ship like to tell him to telling him nothing like that.

Um My, his friend had just got killed and they were talking about trading me that year and I went to Um, I met with the general manager and I met with Coach Brown, and they assured me that I wasn't getting traded. But I was going through some ship at that time because my kids, like they were going to school and their their classmates were saying, tell your dad, don't leave, and their teachers was, you know what I mean,

Like they was going through it. Like I can, I can deal with this ship, but with my kids and my girl having to go through that, it was a problem. So I was happy as motherfucker when I went in there with the general manager and they was like, you ain't going nowhere, you know what I mean. So the press conference was supposed to be me assuring the fans and everybody in Philadelphia sing that I ain't going nowhere, and the motherfucker's kept asking me about practice. I just yeah,

I lost it. I lost it, you know what I mean? Like, when did you ever question yourself after when they made that statement about practice? Did you have a question yourself and be like, well, no, because you can't be a bad motherfucker like that if you don't practice right, like well, well, the statement itself made people think that you didn't care about practice, you know, like you had bad but okay, let's clear that up. Did you have bad practice happens?

Did you did you? Would you? Would you? Like like like real can practice? You were serious about your practice? Or did you you about drills? Okay, but if you played five on five, then I'm ready. I want to do that. I ain't. I didn't care too much for this way, this way, you know what I mean. I already knew that throw the ball up and let's go like that was my thing, you know what I mean? Like, so you did so you didn't have a pattern of skipping practice. You went to practice, but I had. I

had a pattern of skipping. Yeah, they were doing drills that day. No, sometimes I was out too late. And when I come in there, I don't feel like it, you know what I mean. I'm a man, I'm a human. You you you I'm just tell me what you what you want me to make a sound fly to you? I ain't doing I ain't doing that. I was not Kobe. Kobe was something else. He was the guy, like I said, we're in the club. That motherfucker's in the gym oh ship,

you know what I mean? And and and that's what separated him from a whole lot of dudes, even myself. Do you ever but do you ever think to yourself they were like, Okay, I'm I'm top whatever I'm I'm I'm a Hall of Famers. Great, But what if I had practice more? You ever think that, what if iout the live weights? What about it? You know what I mean? What if I would? Um dedicated myself more? But I did a lot. I dedicated myself a lot to to to be who I'm who I am. I did a lot.

Would you say you gave what you could to the maximum at the same time to maintain your sanity? You know, like you gave as much as you could to maintain your sanity because you have to have balance, right, something like like Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman used to like, I gotta go to Vegas. Man. We're in the midd the playoffs. I saw the last day, but I gotta go to Vegas. You know what I'm saying, Like Roman, but I'm saying

that Dennis Rodman don't go to the Vegas. He might not mean perhaps he's not as effective on the court because he needed that balance. Um, did you feel like I'm saying that's what That's what he did? That's that's what didn't and that's what he did. What I'm saying, what I'm saying just a bad motherfucker. So some some

people just crazy, man, some people are just awesome. But did you feel like you had to have that kind you had to have your own balance by not going to practice sometimes or whatever, doing no just just living, like just living living my life, like being happy, like being I don't know, man, you know what I'm saying, like just living your living your life. Like one of my off days. I know, Raw I wish he was here to have a bad day, like I know he

wished he could have a bad day. Like it's motherfucker's that I love. They wish they could have a bad day. And I had bad days. I had. I had days where not even I'm calling it a bad day, I don't mean it like that. I did what I wanted to do. I'm gonna do that until I'm gone. Man. I'm the greatest father, I'm the greatest homeboy. I'm the greatest brother, I'm the greatest son. I'm the greatest everything that I try to be. That's who I am. Do I make mistakes? Do I suck up? Hell? Yeah? Do

I wish I wouldn't have did this and did that. Yeah, yeah, I wish. I mean, what then can I do? I can't do nothing else but be me and be happy as a motherfucker long as motherfucker's like, y'all rock with me. My family loved me, my teammates, my God love me out of here. Man, I'm cool. Cool. They tell us about your relationship with John Thompson coach John Thompson at Georgetown. The only thing I can say is love. He saved my life, did y'all? I'm sure y'all had like hundreds

of talks. Is there anything that that really just stand out? Something something that he said to you that just you tough? Okay, I'm a football player right here. I'm a football player. I'm better in football than I ever would be in basketball. I swear to God, dog, I'm a football player. And I remember we was in the weight room, and you know, I ain't living no weights, so I'm just down there just sitting, you know, sitting on the bench. And I used to walk past like with with um our our

our school. You had to walk past the um the football field to get to the gym, to the gym and every time. I used to walk by and I used to cry, you know what I mean, like to where is? It? Got so fucked up with me. I wouldn't look in that direction, you know what I mean to see the field. One day I went in the motherfucker and I was like, coach, like, I'm thinking my playing football, you little motherfucker. Don't you ever say anything stupid like that to me ever again? You hear me, motherfucker.

Damn coach, that's yo, the worst mouth ever, really, man, Coach, I was terrible. Don't you ever come in here and say no ship like that to me again? I get the funk out of my face, like yo, And I never thought about playing football ever again. I never thought about playing football again. And that was my and and that was my coach. And one more joint, one more joint. This would make me feel like I was a superhero,

I swear to god. My man, um my teammates, was in in the bathroom and all the coaches after the game, they being you know, they huddle up at the games, and they're be in the bathroom basically, so we can't hear what the fun they're talking about. And my man was shitting and he heard them talking and he came out and told me. He was like, man, I was in the bathroom. They didn't know I was in there, and Coach was just saying, that's a bad little motherfucker,

you know what I mean. And when he told me that, and I knew that Coach thought that about me, play the game the rest of it. I mean, it just I felt like black Jesus. I felt like Mike, Like I just felt like I was like, because somebody that that you, yes, yes, you felt an obligation to not let him down. No, it won't, it won't even that. It just it like I already had the confidence in myself, but you know, for my man telling me that you're

He would never like, he would never like he didn't tell me that until it was over, you know what I mean. Then he started telling me stuff that, you know what I mean, like, m my motherfucking man dog. When I when I heard that Coach Thompson died, I felt like I lost a family member. And I never met Coach Thompson in my life.

But I know what he meant to you. I know how close that y'all were, Like, where were you when you found out that he died? Yeah, I uh just talked. I just talked talked to Ronnie and he was telling me like, you're just telling me the coach won't right. You're telling him like I don't. You don't got maybe a week and next morning, no, man, And I beat myself up. I beat myself up and the ship because I suppose he went there. I supposed it went there. But I'm happy I ain't go you know what I mean,

because I don't want to see that. I didn't want to see that ship. That was my my man. Man, man saved my life, you know what I mean, Man saved my life, he said, in my life. Did you attend the funeral? Mm hmm. Great part about that, man. Y'all got some good ass memories together. Man, you know that's what life is all about, making new memories, making memories and new memories. Bro. And he puts you, put you in a position to provide for your entire family

He's still going to college. You know what I'm saying, Like like I fought for this ship, man, Like I I full for this ship,

you know what I mean? And then like just just to be who I am, man, be legendary in this world, like motherfucker called me a legend, Like that ship is the coolest ship in the world, in the world, straight out, straight out the motherfucker hood man from the mud. Man, I'm going, I'm, I'm, I'm I want to be better. I'm I want to do more, Chip like I want to I want to see what we're witnessing right now. Man, is the reason why people funk with you. Bro. This this is this is it, bro, Like this is why

we wanted to talk to you. It's like Allen hell, yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like we gotta talk to we gotta talk to you, you know uh. And I think that that's one of the reasons why, one of the big the biggest reason why so many people rallied behind you anytime you got in a jam or whatever, any time that you was facing any type of you know, misfortune or whatever. It was just people just was always in in in high hopes. Man, But it's boomerang. Is

ship is boomerang? Like you think that I don't feel the same way, the same the sentiments you're giving me. Like I feel the same way like I grew up. I grew up off y'all, you know what I mean. And then this is a fucking honor to me, Like this is bucket list ship for me, you know what I mean? Like I get a chance. I got a chance to go and tell my homeboys, even if they don't see this, like this, I did podcast with the ghetto boys. Like I get it. I get it, like I get it. I get a chance to do this,

this bucket list ship for me. This is where I grew up, idolizing. Yo, I grew up idolizing, y'all, you know what I mean. And then look where I'm at. You tell me, God don't love me, man, beautiful ship, beautiful with something else that was on your bucket list. I'm well, I'm wondering if this was on your bucket list when you was MC jews. You know, like you get sorry, man, I don't do that. And and the only reason I was doing that is because my homeboys

wanted to get on that. So that wasn't was that a bucket list thing or it's just something you know, just my my homeboys wanted to they was they was rappers, you know what I mean, Like he I mean, that's raw, you know what I mean. So I did that. I did that for them, for my homeboys business doing that. But you know, but you know, well, I guess it

wasn't something that you was passionate about. So you wouldn't have missed it in life if you had not done it right now and and and then and then at the same time, like it cost me a whole bunch of problems, like caused me a problems if relationships up. Wow, you know what I mean, Like he was doing business with your homies. Yea, that ship right there, like doing business with your homeboys, and then you love them motherfucker's.

Like like one of the worst feelings in the world is when one of you motherfucker's that you love ship on you like a motherfucking I mean sand box motherfucker's Like motherfucker's I'm talking about sandbox. Like yeah, and everybody listen, everybody, it's fucked up. When it's fucked up, when you turn into scarface opposed to Brad Jordan's. It's fucked up. It's fucked up when you go from being chucked and motherfucker loves some fucking chuck and then all of a sudden

the AI ship and that's family members, everybody. You know what I mean, Like, don't you still love Bubba Chuck man? You know what I mean. But when that fucking money you get involved jack money, Yeah, money catalyst for a lot of a lot of between everything, friends, family, friends, that ship. Don't mix cold things for his people though, you know what I'm saying. His partners, Yeah, but sent them to school to go be in some business. Listen, listen,

he's a he's a bad motherfucker. He's a smart motherfucker. But at the same time, your motherfuckers smart. Yes, I know, I say, I know all of my know math, I know, I know rich Man, I know Randy, all his homeboys, his mama, Mama glow All. I'm smart all them and and and and they, and they capitalized off of his greatness, man,

instead of trying to go be rappers. That that's why, that's that's why I'm That's why I subscribe to the theory of being able to do business with family and friends, because if you really think about it, most of the people that got money like loan money, has been having generational wealth and even a lot of the people that's getting new money. Uh that if you look, if you look at all the groups, the White Flag, Asian whatever, these people do business with their family members and they

do business with their friends. Well, it's just that it's I think a lot of time for us, we're not as discerning. We just automatically take yeah, because you know, we're not as picky, you careful with our choices that we make with them. Wh who were gonna who are gonna put We just automatically that's my homie here, that's my sister, that's my brother. No, you know what I'm saying. No, they got, they got They have to have some damn scruples about themselves. They got to be qualified able to

do it exactly. And they and they expected they back you you, They expect you to do it for them because they're them. Just give it to him, right, man. If you earn, if you earn your if you earn it, then then you got it. But I can't let you run my business and you're driving dump trucks all your like, Come on, happen. My motherucking man told me. I said, Man, he gonna run the company. Man, he gonna do this. You know what I mean? He qualified? Man, why he got a job. He doing this over here? The funk

you mean he's qualified to do it? You're not. You just want the position because we grew up together. Mm hmm. Yeah. If you ever want to funk yourself up, put in you. I grew up with this name in your business. If you want to be sorry, you got criticized a lot for looking after your family and friends, you know, and still and still gonna do it for I'm gonna do

it forever. I'm gonna do it forever. When when when you hear but when you hear stuff like that, when you hear people saying like, man, man, you could have been a lot further. You know, you could be doing this. Woman, Yeah, you shouldn't be doing this or whatever. Whatever. You know, how do you reconcile that worry about you? Motherfucker, worry about you.

He's like, all right, okay, because I ain't worried about nothing but the fact that you all right. That's all I care about. Hey, you all right? God bless you, love you. That's it. I ain't got time for no negative punk ass ship, no sucker ass,

nowhere near positive ass ship in life. Man, live laugh, take love, man, Yeah, take energy, live laugh love man, do that. Concentrate on that. Man. I always wondered, like, well, like when you first got to Philadelphia, the city was yours. Everybody was, man, Hey, I it's love. Initially you had a Did you ever have a good report with Coach Brown? Initially? No? Not not so not even day one. He was trying to get you to change your style, you know, change he was trying to get he was. No, hell no,

he didn't. Just didn't understand. He didn't understand. I'm hip hop dude, I'm a I mean, I'm I'm We're from two different parts of the world, you know what I mean. So he did not try to get you to change your image. No, clean up your image, because you you changed, you changed the end be a. He didn't. He was, he was. He was trying to get me. He was trying to get me to become who I am now. God damn, that's what he was doing. Basically, that's my

motherfucking man, that's my man. I love him to death. Wow, so so well, when did the turning point come? Two thousand and one? You're a bad motherfucker. Do you know what you're doing? You're a bad dude? Two thousand and one. I think I made the um two thousand because they was gonna trade my ass, and because I couldn't. I thought that he was um criticize, criticizing me, and I

couldn't except um constructive criticism. And then when I found when I started to realize that he just loved me and wanted what's best for me and the team, then that's when I turned from Allen Iverson a good basketball player to a Hall of fame. On the night of the draft, did you think you were gonna go number one? Did you? Did you do? But I ain't know? You know, you know how it is with us A you're thinking some bullshit gonna jump off? You know what I mean?

I knew, but I ain't know. And that had to be uh crazy feeling man like and just one of the best feels out there. We drafted number one in the NBA. That's that had to be some damn feeling. Man. And when it happened, when the announcement came down, man, you know, you know it's crazy Thord Willie like and then this ain't no cocky ship, man, I know. Can't

nobody funk with me? Like I knew that, like I knew man, and and everybody in the d have knew it, and everybody and all the fans knew it, and all and and and and all the organizations they knew it. Like who else was in that draft? Like just just we had the greatest draft ever. What are some of the names we would immediately record? Kobe was thirteen, so

we're gonna do We're gonna do it like that. He was thirteen years no, yes, all right, So that lets you know how crazy the draft was if Kobe got to be If he thirteen, then you already know how crazy the draft is. But Kobe was coming out of high school though, what you mean, let's comeing out of high school. They didn't, they didn't. They didn't really scout him like that, did they he did? I don't know how. I don't know how they didn't because if I was

the seventy sixers, I would have picked them. Oh ship, huh, I would not have took Chuck Man just if I was so. You were so he was well aware kobe skill set. No, I ain't know then, shit, I ain't know that. The Lakers didn't know how cold Kobe was, Willie, because they let Edie Eddie Jones and Nick Van ex So started that ship. They did, and Nick was the guard. Kobe, uh Jones was the shooting guard. And man, when adn't let Kobe get off that motherfucking bench, I took it.

It took it. It took a minute. I remember when Kobe was shout at that air ball and ship and uh no that was that was all right? No, no, no, that that was all Star. He shot at the air ball in the All Star Game, you know, like he was really trying to challenge uh Mike and all that stuff, and uh coach shout a ball. He was, but he

just had that apter like he was fearless. Man, I'm shooting the ball anyway, I'm shot this same man, and man, Kobe is the baddest motherfucker on two feet to me, bro Over, I'm just saying his Mike and Kobe is like the same otherfucking to me, Oh Man, black Jesus, Black Jesus and the black Mamba, the black Mamba. You goddamn right better even alone, say man, ship Man, and

on and on both ends stone, both ends. Yes, the way you know he patted his style after exactly that's why you got it in Like then, Mike, then if you if you ask Kobe who was the best, he would say, Mike, I'll give hi, Mike. I got Kobe and Mike neck and neck. Even if I stole my rap style from you, I'm gonna kill you with your own style. Bro oh ship and Kobe killed Mike with his own ship. You like so you do me and I do you. You don't want to funk with me

what I left my neighborhood. I don't give a funk when I left my neighborhood to make this big break, I promised my road dog said, I dedicate a super jam to the hood that is sharp as a sickle. So here it is fifth Ward, better known as the Nickel Willie, I'll fuck you up with your own ship. That's Willie. Hey. Look, hey, look, Alice, Hey, this is my life. This is my life. What I get, motherfucker, look what I get? Come on, man, come on. So

so that was really ship. I was just reck really with his own ship and and and and and and got a bad bitch in every state. Yeah, but I really can't say that like me, it ain't gonna work. But Kobe did Mike to the point, I hold on, I ain't supposed to use that because my old lady gonna say that. I just said that off big dog status. Take that shot, you know it just played it for that nothing. Take that whatever that is. We will will that right now, take it out. But I can just

I can tell her I was wrapping your song. Yeah, but I was just wrapping really ship. But but Kobe did Mike, in my opinion, better than Mike did Mike. Not better then, but just as good as Mike did. Mike Man Kobe, Mike and Kobe and then Lebron for me, and then and then and then Steph and shot. You know what is a bad motherfucker that don't get his props. He don't get credit like he's supposed to. I'll give I wanted the best. But yeah, but all the big all the big men say that though, Yeah, but why

he ain't in that list? The big men? Though? What you mean when people were like when people just talking in general, they seldom mentioned you want to kill all of the big centers and shack my black shack don't want nothing, no parts of Elijah one. And that's my daughter. It's Elijah one, and there's a larger one, and then it's all the rest of the month along. It's uh, who else? Right? The Admiral, he don't want none here in the top five. He still don't want none. Patrick,

you want you don't want none. I ain't saying I'm just naming a little longly damn show it on. Don't know, you can't put him in that man? You know what you can fest of all? You gotta mention the You gotta mention Bill Bill Russell. Man, you can't. You don't want none, but that Bill Russell is. That's like if you want to say the best, then if you want to say the best basketball player ever stat wise, we gotta say, man, what was playing with a little short

white guys? It's a difference. No, we can't just go on the stats. We we you got to look at the competition level. Elijah one is the baddest center on too. Had to play against the baddest centers and then you can't forget about Big Mo. Mo was crazy. Was the funny as dude to man. Love that love you Mo. Rest in peace, my brother, sir, Yes, yes, sir, moment alone. That's my dog. Yeah, great, goddamn guy for real Virginia Natives. I'm right, hey, Alan, when you left uh Philadelphia, you know,

I mean, did you feel unappreciated? You know when they when they traded you, all right, when you went to them, they they didn't. They weren't trying to. I can't, I can't. I don't want to say this. I don't want to say. I don't. I don't want to say I don't want to say what they were doing. But they weren't doing what was right. So I was happy when Alan. When Alan left Philadelphia, the focus shifted from Philadelphia to the Nuggets. You know that the Nuggets was fucking feared. Nobody wanted

to see. We just couldn't get bad. So yeah, we couldn't get past Mamba and and and um Tim Duncan like we was bad. We couldn't. We couldn't do nothing with them them dudes, who did y'all have at at at Center? Marcus Camby, Huh fuck? We was bad, y'all as bad as cant at the four mellow at three, as bad as motherfucker. We just couldn't with the giants. Man, We couldn't sunk with them, do them dudes? Is we

was well? Coach that I was just want to say, but we was going against Pop and we was going against Mamma and Shank like we lost those two years and then that's when the bullshit happened. I went to mother. I thought going to Detroit was gonna be the greatest I was gonna be playing with being big being. I mean no, no, what's being at had to be? Man. Look, I love them dudes, and I'm still cool with with

with them dudes. Man, they didn't want to see Chauncey League and I love chaunce That's my that's my homeboy. Them dudes ain't want to see Chauncey gold Man. It won't right. Like when I got the call that morning, I thought it was the greatest situation ever for me to win a championship, you know what I mean. But obviously me and ripped with two guys so you gotta play me at the point, and you gotta play you gotta play Ripped at the two. But they wanted they

was invested in Stucky. Yeah, like that was that was the old because we was getting our ass whip because we had to start um Tay Shawn at the four and Sheet at the five. Rip was at the three. I was at the two, and Stucky was at the one. And they didn't they was invested in and Stucky, you know what I mean. And then Motherucker's telling me, I would never tell you to come off the bench, and this is that in the third and it was a lie. We stepped away from the game in two thousand teen.

I'm telling you was team I'm tripping when you stepped away from the game in that year, whatever year it was in that year, when you stepped away from the game, I'm sure like before you ever step away from the game, you start getting closer to that time and then you're thinking in your head, Okay, I gotta transition when it's gonna come. Was there a lot of anxiety that like like when I leave basketball, like damn, what am I gonna do? I was ready, he was already ready, ready,

ready to go. Um. I knew she was sucked up. When I went to Detroit and I couldn't have my number. Like I got off the plane. You know, Stucky was like, man, I'm I'm give you the number, you know what I mean? And I got off the plane and um, the David Stern he um, Kobe changed his number from eight four. So when I um, and I guess he just funck money up for the NBA, you know the number changed his number and you know what I mean. And I couldn't. I couldn't get I couldn't change my number. So I

had to wear one. And I knew, yeah, and I knew it was fucked up, like even though I wore it when I was little, Like every time I put my jersey on, like she didn't feel right. You know what I mean, I'm number three, but what what was there any significance to the number three? My high school coach game? So and then hold on another George sound story.
