But that was you know, I love basketball.

Next thing, you know, I'm going, I'm going uptown.

I'm playing basketball with the guys and New York Like its shaped me.

It shaped me if I didn't have New York City, if I didn't have the hip hop because the street ball and the hip hop was so connected, and you don't see that anywhere else like that, Like Joe, like I remember you pulling up at the rucker, you know what I mean, you got all your guys with you were playing you and the chip.

Speaker 2

We lost the chip.

I missed a couple of free throws at the end.

You know how people hated Kobe and all this, but when he passed away, you realized, Yo, we lost the treasure.

It was like we were winning so much, so we had fans who just wanted us to lose, and when we lost and were walking out the park, they barely even celebrated.

It was like, not like this, So I know what you felt like, but we didn't.

I left because I was getting disrespected at the worker.

I would have stood for twenty years, but they start doing shit, y'all.

Only two people could come in all this this.

I'm like, yo, I don't know if they know we get in this park, then you know what I'm saying.

I would have never owned the store if it wasn't for Rose, Teddy Sheldon, all those guys.

They taught us to retail business.

Simon passed away, Melvin passed away.

I'll tell you one thing.

I was the only guy they would say, Joe, when I opened the door, you run that way as fast as possible.

You see those four guys across the street.

They're gonna rob you.

So I used to get my sneakers and have to run like bucket, run up to the train.

Because I knew graffiti.

I knew how to like jump off the train.

So if you follow me in the train, and you know we stuck in the train, I know how in between the train to jump off and then run back down and get the fuck up out of there.

So that was my ship, the train.

But YOJ Man was legendary.

But now remember when they was the duo Al Hamilton always played a mazing out there.

It was a lot of players that were Stephan Marlbury had him every game, you know.

Stephan Malburry at that time was getting twenty two million a year in the NBA.

He was the highest paid.

He played out there for free, was coming out there.

Then he had his brother Zach.

You not the whack Zach because Zach never made it to the league, so that he was actually a good player.

But you know he's the Marlbury, so they expect me, Zach, you not the whack.

Maybe on the mic yo, Zach, you not the whack.

Zach go up in there.

He scores little ten points to go hard.

But you know, Stephan Marlberry's the most Uh.

He was the most dedicated street basketball NBA player I've ever seen.

He cats And another person who never lost a single game is Ronald Tests at the Worker.

He never lost a game he played in runal Test.

I had him one year on my team.

We playing the Chip.

He splits.

His whole hand splits.

You've seen that before, right, was like split like he had like a His shit was split like split.

It's the championship shit is split wide open like he needed surgery or something.

Speaker 3

Definitely stitches.

Speaker 2

Right.

Speaker 4

So now I'm shook because I'm thinking the omen is old, Like this guy never loses, like I knew I was winning.

Look, Ronald Tests never lost the game.

So the one game we in the Chip, he splits his hand, I mean splits.

So I'm like, oh, we lost because the man not gonna be able to finish this game.

It's like fourth quarter.

The man gets some tape, he tape his whole hand together, tape goes back out, it starts killing them.

Yo.

Ron Or Test different, and you know I would go, I would go pick him up in fucking Queensbridge projects.

You know, Ronald Tests had two apartments in Queensbridge in the projects.

He had that forty nine million dollar deal too.

He'd be sitting in front of the bench with chunclets On in the middle of the projects where everybody knowing he got forty nine million driving a dusty pickup truck.

Ronald Test he was different.

Speaker 4

What player or what game did you watch Christmas or something like that and you went outside and was like, yo, you was emulating the moves, like yo, I gotta be like this guy.

Speaker 1

This guy is incredible, I would say for me, like I grew up a Knicks fan and my pops used to take me to the games.

Speaker 2

So I was in the garden when Elga hit the shot.

Speaker 4

I was there too.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you've definitely been to more Knicks games.

Speaker 4

And no, no, no, no no, but I was there that game.

I was with Alan Ovison.

He was here and we said it on the episode.

Speaker 2

He was with me.

Speaker 4

I've been looking forever for the pictures of that game.

But it's the other side, and we was in them seats.

We was like a little fourth row, fifth floor.

We wasn't in the court side, but that you saw that whole crowd too.

Speaker 1

Shit go crazy.

So but you know it's like when you're a kid.

You just watching all the games.

You watching all like that.

It was still VCR and shit like.

So I had all the magic Johnson tapes blacking I'm watching.

Speaker 2

That wasn't black and white.

It was I was.

Speaker 4

I'm an old nigga.

I used to watch Honeymoon's black and white.

Speaker 2

Honey Moon is oh, he came mooning black and white.

Speaker 4

Now they got the they got the colored version.

Now I even got Wizard of Oz and color.

Now they redid it.

The point is it was black and white.

I used to watch the Knicks when the ship was black and white.

I used to watch TV when the TV turned off.

You ever, you're too young for that.

Right twelve midnight, they throw the American flag.

An Indian dude come out and he look at the fucking pollution.

He was going green a long time ago.

He'd be looking and he start crying.

The Indian dude with the Indian outfit.

Every night he looked and he see the trash and he start tearing.

And that's it.

You wake up in the morning TV again.

That ship is off all night.

I'm old.

I talked about when I'm a kid.

When I'm a kid, the Honeymoonist was probably like the last show on with Art Carnie, that shit be going off.

Speaker 2

Got the all.

Speaker 4

Drew, then they got a flag, and.

Speaker 2

Then they got an Indian dude.

Speaker 4

They're trying to tell you, yo, don't throw ship in the street, don't pollute, you're fucking up the earth.

And he come over there and he start crying and shit, And that's how TV turned off every night.

Speaker 2

Damn, what do you mean.

Speaker 3

When you was watching what you was watching?

Speaker 1

We're talking about basketball right now, we're talking about the TV.

Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, yeah, basketball.

You saying DVD.

Speaker 1

Oh No, It's just it was more like it was more you know, you walking in the street and you just you doing moves.

Speaker 2

You don't even have a ball or nothing.

It don't matter.

Speaker 1

You're working on yours in the street with the wow just think, okay, what am I gonna do?

So you're walking up the black working on your ship.

You already there in your mind, you know what I'm saying.

So for me, that was my mentality as a kid.

It was just like I wouldn't tell nobody like, yo, I'm going to the league.

Speaker 2

That was not how I moved.

But the reality is I'm a third I'm a third generation athlete.

Speaker 1

Talk about it like my grandfather was a soccer player from Cameron.

My pops is a Hall of Fame tennis player, only Africa player to ever win a Grand Slam, last Frenchman to win a Grand Slam.

Speaker 2

So I grew up seeing all that shit.

Speaker 1

Just know knowing the greatness, just knowing what it takes to be a pro.

You know what I'm saying.

It wasn't like, Yo, my pops will wake me up in the morning.

Yo's let's go for a run.

You know what I'm saying, Like that was my game.

I wasn't.

Speaker 2

I wasn't more talented than half the guys out there.

Speaker 1

But I had the education of all, right, wake up in the morning, the discipline of what it takes, Like when I see you fucking tired, and I got two more gears because I'm running three miles before school, because I know nobody else doing that shit, and y'all fucking up the drills.

Y'alln't want y'all coach say something because you got twenty points, so you think that you can just I don't give a fuck with the coach got to say, like New York City more than just like looking at guys and being like, yo, I'm looking at like this is what I'm not supposed to do, and this is what I'm.

Speaker 2

Not supposed to do.

Speaker 1

A lot of guys should have been there, man, there was a lot of guys who were better than me.

Speaker 4

What same thing happened to me?

I don't believe it happened to Kiss, because Kiss always been the best.

But when I got on, I'm networking in Manhattan, I'm performing at Soobs, I'm going to lyricists lounge, this and this and that, trying to get on, and the guys was a hundred times better than me in the hood.

And then they got mad at me because I got on, but they wasn't willing the network, go talk to people, meet people, get a deal, Like you know, I snuck up in the record label.

That shit was thirty one flights.

I snuck in the record label, walked up thirty one flights and I was fat, fat fat Joe, three fat joke, three fat jokes.

And I give the guy my demo.

He tells me I'm not good enough, and shit like that.

Speaker 2

I was doing.

Speaker 4

I was going down to DC.

How can I be down and everywhere trying to get on.

I ended up doing Apollo Theater.

I won four weeks in a row.

That's how I got my chance.

But other guys was one hundred times better than me, and they ain't understand.

They were like, we better than Joey.

But yeah, y'all don't want to put in that work.

You know, it's a special and an athlete's a whole different.

Speaker 2

You know.

Speaker 4

I stood in Tony Parker's house for a couple of days and that guy was eating like a bean.

Speaker 2

They was giving a nigg a.

Speaker 4

Bean, an asparagus, one piece of turkey, and it was like, yeah, go work out for two hours.

He come back.

They give him some mother bullshit tolfoo this he gonna work out again.

He come back.

I'm like, Yo, this shit is yo.

That guy there, Tony Parker, Tony Parker.

I lived in his house for like a week.

A week we was performing at somebody's birthday.

Probably was like, yo, don't stay in the hotel state my house.

His shit was a cun It was San Antonio, San Antonio.

He had a calm plex, maybe a hundred acres and some shit.

He had the professional him to everything.

But I'm looking at this dude, eat and he getting up.

He got a fucking chef.

I'm eating all the eggs and pancakes and motherfucker eating a bean.

Speaker 3

This this that I was like, Yo.

Speaker 1

This is Parker, Pops, Tony Parker.

Pops just passed to so plus peace.

Speaker 4

Pops.

Oh he was dead.

Pops was dead.

He was on top of Tony like that.

That's exactly who had him on that regiment.

Speaker 2

That's right.

This Pops was a dog too, Hooper nice Chicago finance.

Speaker 1

That's when I'm trying to Loyola like with top score.

I went to the funeral last week.

Ye had Tim Duncan there, David Robinson like yo, everybody, all the French players came.

I'm like, yo, damn he love the boy showed that.

They showed out for him.

Everybody flew to Chicago goose bumps.

You know what I'm saying for Pops, so respect.

That's well.

Speaker 2

Speaking to Tim Dunky, that's my favorite power for the boy all the time.

Doesn't get better.

Fundamental shit, man, he give it to you.

Speaker 4

He don't even know.

I remember that one game.

Speaker 2

It was one game.

Speaker 4

He was one of his last games, and he was old already and he was still busting they and he gave him every remember him never bustings.

Speaker 2

Know.

Speaker 4

What I'm saying is it was this last season his team was whack who.

His last season, Tim Dunky's team kind of fell fell off.

Golden State was the best ship we ever see.

They fell off now right, it happens to everybody.

What I'm saying is they didn't have that kind of firepower no more.

But that boy, timmy man, he ain't let me down.

He still gave them niggas like forty one.

He went to the last oxygen.

I'm trying to die.

Speaker 5

Grego used to send them out and put reason with old age.

He used to make and Tim Duncan and he was he was cool like that man.

Speaker 1

They used to they were so good.

The Spurs were so good.

Talk about chemistry.

One day, Tony's like, Yo, let's have let's have lunch.

I'm not feeling like lunch playing, you know, buddy, Buddy before the game, like we Chicago Bulls, y'all San Antonio.

He's like, no, come on, man, I need to talk to you.

Speaker 2

Pop said that.

No, Tony Parker, I pull up.

Speaker 1

These guys are all drinking wine before the game at lunch I'm like, yo, good.

Speaker 2

They came out there still bustobly.

Speaker 4

So who's on your Chicago team.

Speaker 2

At that time?

Speaker 1

Had we had young Jimmy Butler, You had Derrick Rose, We had lou All Dang, We had Carlos Boozer, a whole lot of game in this motherfucker.

Speaker 2

Come on, man, but what that we talk about your lot on this show?

Man?

Speaker 4

You wore your Harlem pink pants.

You got the hall of Pink, of game in the building, whole lot of game.

Aging Yo.

So you have a young Jimmy Butler.

Speaker 2

Young dere Derek ro we had.

Speaker 1

You know, it's it's too bad, man, because we were right there, We were right there.

I love I love everything about it.

Well she got you got lou al Dang.

Yet at that time, we had lou All Dang.

We had Kirk Heinrich picking up full court.

That's the toughest, toughest white boy we had him.

We had big Duck Brad Miller.

Speaker 2

Brad Miller changed my fucking hole, my whole ship.

Speaker 1

But he one day after practice, he goes, you know, he had a big used to put dip in his mouth.

Big country got red truck, redneck truck, exactly.

Speaker 2

But one of my best friends might have had the veteran under the seat that could fly.

He might know, but the best, the best of the best Confederates that his mouth more be careful.

Speaker 1

So he got the dip right, and he's like, Yo, young fella, don't ever shoot a jump shot again?

Is what I need you to do.

Catch the ball at the elbow, dribble handoff.

Speaker 2

If he's over playing it, throw the back door pass, yo.

Speaker 1

So things he just told me two simple things that changed my whole ship, Like, Yo, I had I had seasons while I'm averaging five dimes a game, non shooter.

Just from that little just did this big fella get the ball at the elbow?

Speaker 4

This guy's favorite balls for me was like saying, my cou sell right, and every tell him I see Sam Cassell, I tell him we got to bring him on the podcast.

Wasn't nobody like Sam Thesell.

Sam Cosell's a coach.

Whoever he's teaching is fucking learning.

He was one of the last technicians.

Like he's like a fucking brainiact that could play experience as a motherfucker.

And when somebody just gives you advice and you could apply it and turn around and make you so much better.

It's amazing to me and all.

And that's dope for Brad because you guys had a hell of a team, you know what I'm saying.

And y'all were just young.

It's kind of like the OKC team when they had KD they had you know, they split them up, James Harden, Like, what kind of team could that have been if they played together?

Or Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter they split that shit up.

You guys had a hell of a team and a hell of a coach.

You know, I'm a TIMS guy.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

I fuck with coach tibbs.

Speaker 5

History and bring him back right now, like tomorrow, make a big thing, bring him back.

Speaker 4

It's sad because Coach Brown.

The problem I got with Coach Brown is his sneakest.

If it's over, if your coach is pie, your team is pie.

And Coach Brown he's my neighbor.

He lives around in the neighborhood.

Everybody says, a beautiful guy.

But his fucking sneak is I'm not intimidated.

So if I'm looking at it, coach, yeah, you coach, you're the fucking leader.

Speaker 5

He might got some bullshits on to intimidate you.

Speaker 4

I said, oh, they finally changing the DNA.

You know, likelynsanity I want, And they got rid of in Sanity.

He was Musky TV.

Speaker 2

The man was on fire.

Speaker 4

Why wouldn't you bring the brother back?

I didn't even understand a lot of moves they were making.

They wouldn't pick Runal Tests because he was from New York.

They was bypassing New York players like Homegrown Born.

Speaker 5

The next at thirty years and trading away niggas that turned out.

They're be incredible everywhere they went Rod Strickley, Mark Jackson, everybody.

Speaker 3

But one of the reasons they were doing that.

Speaker 4

Was they too close to home.

So what they I'm telling you just from a fan, I felt like they didn't want runol Tests in his prime.

They didn't want these guys because they from the city.

They had a mentality of the they too close to home.

They control it's a real thing.

That's a real thing is from the outside.

Speaker 2

Then it's on the individual.

Speaker 5

You know, he's going outside, you know, just Smith's going outside, brunting in heart, is in the livebrries in Westchester, chilling out, eating wings and cannon like it's this stiff.

Speaker 4

Is on the well, that's great, great that we got some players they want to stay warming do they?

Speaker 2

Thank God?

God, thank god?

Speaker 4

You know, because on the strip club and seeing the star of the ship and they're throwing money, I'd be like, Yo, this shit crazy, These motherfuckers.

Speaker 5

What what in that same token Mason in them was outside and it still was winning.

Speaker 4

This Nigga Zion got like thirty two strippers pregnant.

I'd be really fucking oh yo, I wouldn't be really pissed if I was the fan of this ship and Zion my guy.

I want them to play the greatest I wanted him to be.

That's the last guy.

Speaker 2

Bet to be a fucking thirty two is a lot.

Sick.

Speaker 4

Thirty two is a lot.

Listen, you know that's the fat Joe.

You know what I'm saying.

But I don't mean it like that.

Speaker 2

I don't want Zion.

Speaker 4

I don't want to know.

I love you, Zion man.

I'm a fan of your game.

When you say you love HI about to say he got thirty two baby strip, I know I would be really mad if I went to every strip club and Zion was in there and he's unhealthy and this and this, I'd be really pissing.

I went through that with the Knicks a lot.

Speaker 2

What's my man?

Speaker 4

He got shot in the knee, cle Anthony outside Starlets they fixed some.

Speaker 2

Bad that was disgusting though.

Speaker 4

Any street nigga who had something to do with that, you know that was disrespect bro the man an athlete.

You shoot him in his kneecap.

It couldn't have been that serious, but he should have gave it up, gave what up they wanted.

Oh so they was robbing him in he.

Speaker 2

They didn't like.

Speaker 3

That was personal no, that was personal.

They shot him in his knee.

Speaker 4

That ain't had nothing to do with no robbery, just me fat joe, criminal theology one on one that was bigger than the robbers.

They shot him in the knee.

He was fucking somebody girl.

He shot him.

I'm telling you what must have happened.

I don't know the facts.

They're not robbing the dude, shooting him in his knee.

He was fucking somebody, bitch, and they said, you know what, this is the third warning.

Speaker 3

Chaguito gave it to him.

Speaker 2

Chaquito.

Speaker 4

I'm telling you, but anyway, you need to go back to the rutger Man.

I can't do it.

Adrian be trying to give me, hey, buddy, trying to get me out there all the time.

I can't do it.

I would take the whole summer off.

I wouldn't make a dollar.

Number one, Okay, you could keep all your flags.

You want to keep your flags, and you want to throw them.

I'm number one in America.

Wust Love is number one in America.

White America's begging to give me money.

I'd be like, yo, the whole summer is off.

I got a coach and me I'm a different coach.

Hey, Butter's right here, one of my greatest players of all time.

After the game, what we do?

We go eat steaks, rice and bean and lobsters.

And it was a family before the game.

We stretched together.

I get on the floor this like I'm all in.

But my shit, you know it's crazy.

I went to Harvard yesterday and I gave a lectures that thank you and Harvard.

But one of the best parts of the movie Malcolm Max is when some girl, some white girl, come up to him and says, I understand my ancestors is wrong.

I know we wrong.

What can I do?

He said, you can do nothing for me.

Mama, you say, I'm sorry.

You know what I'm saying.

One of the greatest point guards that ever lived, the greatest handles ever created, was Bone Collector, and he came up to me one summer and we coming in the park and then we're giving out the Terror Squad.

Jersey says Joe my whole life, I want to win a chip Yo Jo Jojo.

He said, how can I join us?

Say you, my friend cannot join the team.

He was like looking at me and he had the greatest handle in the universe.

And I was like, you don't want to win the championship, you want individual tievement.

And people didn't realize the rule was once we up by twenty, didn't play the game.

Alley, you act stupid, but I want fucking to win.

I'm going in there to win.

And you we played basic basketball till we blowing you out.

Now we do the tricks.

You know what I'm saying.

Anybody, they ain't understand that we're walking up in there to win.

We had blue collars.

Tell me some of the big guys we had DP the Beast, Remember the Beast, Oh my god, BJ, the Beast, Oh my Bj.

He had abnormal strength and he didn't want no limelight.

He didn't want nothing.

Who was a coastal see Syracuse.

Now he played for US.

Adrian Adrian Noughtry never bothered nobody.

Speaker 2

He played his team.

Speaker 4

He threw the backpack on it, took the train and got out of it.

He never hung out.

There's guys like that.

Oh what was my man?

Speaker 3

It was the Preacher.

Speaker 4

These are guys you'll never say they name.

We couldn't win these chips without these guys.

These guys got all the rebounds, made the right block at the right time.

Hey guy, you know we had guys that went in there to really win.

Who's like, yo, we're gonna win a chip.

It ain't just about the you know what I'm saying, and so you know we're gonna get to that.

But it wasn't about that, and we you know, good times.

Wow, Derek Rose.

Right, we had g Herbal up here, young brother.

You know he's out there saying, well, you know all these young dudes.

My nephew was crazy out here, man, these guys are crazy.

My daughter's crazy.

Speaker 2

Gee.

Speaker 4

Herbel said that Derek Rose is better than Michael Jordan.

He didn't really mean that, And so what he's just saying in his eraror when he grew up he watched them in high school.

Speaker 2

He didn't mean nothing.

Speaker 4

You know what he meant, he didn't mean that.

And so what I'm saying to you since that in his era of high school, he saw Derek Rose in the street games, he saw him in high school.

He grew up.

He's home grown.

Yeah, and then he excelled to be the youngest MVP.

How unfortunate was his injuries, and how great of a player he was already a grader.

I mean, even his last year he scored like fifty one somewhere right.

Speaker 1

When Derek rose in his prime.

When he stepped onto the court, it was like the energy for the team, like you know, you know, it feels like when somebody pull up to the court and you're like, oh, were winning.

Every time he was on the court, you felt like you had a chance you could win.

I mean, we're not talking about the athleticism and all.

Speaker 2

The oism was out of control.

Speaker 1

He was out of control.

He's a chiller.

D row was must sy TV, must watch TV.

Speaker 4

Oh shit.

Speaker 1

And but when the injury happened, it was like it was like somebody died, bro, Like that's what it felt like.

It was like, Yo, we were winning the championship that year.

There was no question in my mind.

It was like we just lost to the heat in the Eastern Conference the year before.

We're young boys, and now it's now it's it's our fucking time.

That's what it felt like.

So when he got hurt, it was like we didn't have a shot anymore.

Even talking about it now, it's still hurt.

It's still hurt because it's like it's the biggest what if.

Like you know, it's like when you really want when you care about Like I hear you talking about the Rutger guys, Like I see how passionate you are about the winning.

Speaker 2

He was all of that.

Speaker 1

He embodied all of that, and the way he embodied Chicago during that time, it was like it was crazy man.

It was like, you know, Chicago is a crazy place, you know, different, Like we talk about street ball shit.

You can't even do this treet ball ship over there.

They can't do it.

It's too violent.

Kids are dying every day, you know.

So what Derek represented coming from that and represent them the way that he represented that every day on the court.

Speaker 2

He said, these young kids were just like he was Yeah, yeah, it was all of that, and he was like humble.

Speaker 1

You know.

It was like all that he did, the way he carried himself through the fucking bright lights, you know, it was like it was impressive.

Speaker 2

You know, I see a lot of guys get caught up in the lights.

Speaker 1

You know, like when the lights come, it's like, yo, you don't know how you call you you lost in the sauce.

Speaker 4

That should be a new term you bring back and you recycle lost in this sauce, lost in this you guys are lost in this sauce.

Speaker 1

Hey yeah, but the best man, best human fuck basketball, like in terms of brotherhood and the loyalty that he has for his people, the way he takes care of his people, like man, shut out pooh.

Honestly, I'm impressed.

I love people like you see it.

Like when you go through adversity, you see who who's a real motherfucker And when motherfuckers have real success, you also see that shit too, you know what I'm saying, Like, can you can you have a humility about yourself when you know when you're around, when people look at you as great.

Speaker 4

Now when you're young.

I give every rapper a two year grace period, right because I asked little Cocky Kott who came here, he's a young boy, this on fire, and I said, yo, I know what's like for people, regular people to know me, Yo fat Joey.

And then the next day I got a hit and they running like yo fat yo yo yo yo yo.

For me, it takes like two years to get off that cloud and then we'll see who you truly are.

Speaker 2

Did you let the fame get to you, the money get to you, the success?

You know?

Speaker 4

You don't know how many rappers I've seen coming home and two years later they got a purple Yorky dog with them and they start acting like they forgotten the whole shit.

So I give them two years because it takes two years.

It takes two years for a girl who barely got men to all of a sudden being sex symbol and every guy they ever thought in the history of mankind is rapping to them every day at a club and all that.

Speaker 3

It takes two years for all that shit to settle down.

Speaker 4

Soak in now.

If you're an asshole, you're an asshole.

If you're gas or you think who you are, you are who you are, or you come back to earth and you pretty much who you are.

So when you're young, I could see people getting caught on that shit.

But then you gotta figure out life.

Somebody got known what they talking about out there.

That's I give them a grace period, you know what I mean.

Anybody who just come into money, come into fame, you know, they got to get used to this new lifestyle of what's going on.

And you know, and if you full of shit, full of shit, and we see more full of shitters, then you know.

I always ask Angie this Angie Martinez, one of my wife's best friends.

She's always in the house.

I'll be like, your a, Angie, don't talk sit even though let me.

But I'd be asking Ange your ae, what are the artists?

Because she's in the radio.

She walks them come for the first spin, and then they come by the next year, the next year, the next year, And I ask her quietly beyond the scene, like, who are some artists she likes Joe leave.

If you even start to believe the shit that I seen on the radio of how people switched up and they get caught up in the fame, the lights, the money.

And but one thing that bugs me out about athletes.

You the man college, you, the man NBA.

The crowd is screaming for you, you walk in.

How hard is it as an athlete when you retire and you don't hear that no more?

Speaker 2

You know us?

Speaker 4

Patty Labell I just seen on TV She's going on tour eighty one years old, Smokey Robinson in them they still rocking eighty years old.

Speaker 2

The artist.

Speaker 4

As long as you got a voice, God willing, you could keep going to athlete.

It's an expiration day for real, And what does that feel like, no, no, they got the paper.

Speaker 2

Oh no, that's what you're need.

Speaker 3

My neighbor ain't Miami is Jamal Mashburn.

He ain't playing fifty years.

Speaker 4

He's up.

Oh he walk around with his wife like hi Joe, like I'll be like damn.

And they got a hay here.

You know, of course they up financially if they didn't blow the bag.

Speaker 1

Yeah, well it's more than the bag.

The bag is definitely a piece of it.

But it's true.

You're you're playing in front of twenty thousand people, you know, for as long as you play, and then all of a sudden when it's done, it's like you don't get that no more.

Ever, you're not you're not the gladiator anymore.

Your frequency as a competitor, like who you are as a competitor, Like you gotta change, Like I can't be like yo, fuck that, that's not it's not that anymore.

It's not fuck that team, Fuck fuck that city.

Like we over here we coming in like it's not it's you gotta if I if I live, if I live, if I live my life how I was as a competitor.

Speaker 2

Now you be in trouble.

I be in trouble.

Speaker 1

So I had to change my whole mindset knowing like, Okay, I'm not playing in those games anymore.

Speaker 2

Like it's about bringing people together.

Speaker 1

And I'm really careful how I because with these with these shorties, the way I talk about like this generation, the game is different, The money is bigger, the expectations are bigger, the pressure is bigger.

When you get dunked on.

The whole world sees it on their phone.

When when we when I was playing.
