The value of the show is one thing, but it's another thing when you talk about relationships and how well respected y'all all just around period, not just in the public god, but by y'all peers.

You know what I'm saying.

That's proudly appreciate that.

Give us a spill on boatman though, bro Man Boma.

I mean, you know, like when it comes down the hard work, you know what I mean, and where it comes from.

You know a lot of people some people know, but my dad wasn't there.

He bounced went to New Zealand.

My mom.

My mom was killed by a best friend when I was five years old, you know what I'm saying.

So like I was raised by my grandparents, you know what I mean.

On the form, I always tell people I could kill a chicken, clean that motherfucker g it ready to cook in thirty minutes, real talk.

And that was my That was my job around the crib.

So you know when my grandfather he was the church janitor, you know what I mean, he made like three hundred a month.

My grandmother she had she got up to sixth grade education.

She actually was a maid.

She made like sixty dollars a week.

The house we stayed in, my great grandfather build building, so cilings was like fucking six foot type shit.

So I had chores around the house, but I also had to go get it, you know what I'm saying, Especially when you start getting to the mold of middle school and you want school clothes and you can't just be hitting true value all the time.

Go and get Dickie suits.

You know what I'm saying, It's time for It's time for some polos.

This is kids nowadays, Like I always tell my youngsters, like my youngest day, Like I'm like, man, y'all got it good.

They gone to school with crocs on, and you know what I'm saying, it ain't no real fashion no more.

But when we was in school, it's like shit, motherfuckers was you know what I'm saying, state flowing those jeans, sleeping on your jeans so your priests could be sticking.

So I had to go do that, man, But you know, pulling a lawn more Domagon Street and shit like that, go and cut yours on Saturday.

Like I had to work hard.

So and I wasn't always the most the most talented, you know what I'm saying, Like, and so ois was always stacked against me.

I ain't have many resources and type shit.

So like, you know, you gotta find motivation, right to work hard as something you have one that could be loved for the game.

But what you really trying to do trying to get my grandparents out of this situation along with myself.

You know what I'm saying.

So the hard work was put in me as a youngster, just being raised down and by my grandparents and showing like how they you know what I'm saying, how they made away real talk.

I always tell people, Man, my first AAU trip was like in the seventh grade, I went to Vegas with the Houston Hoops and I'm gone for five days.

Right, I don't know nothing about it, a you right, they sent a black card down there pick me up.

I mean, y yeah, shit, I don't even you know what I'm saying.

I got a backpack.

I don't have no luggage because I ain't never went nowhere.

My grandparents ain't got no luggage.

They never been.

They never been out of the state of Texas.

Man, the whole hood like pulling up so she she like here can man.

My grandma gave me twenty dollars, twenty twenty five dollars and rolls of pennis.

And if y'all know some of about rolls falls like they save all them pennies then wrap them up in them rollers.

It like fifty rolls and shit, I had a whole bag full of the most twenty dollars, twenty five dollars going to Vegas, you know what I'm saying.

So that was like, yeah, man, that was the motivation of like the hard work that was put in me.

Did it?

Did it ever?

Did it ever?

Like like you know, hurt you growing up?

Like knowing that you know, Mom and Pops and won around and you over here with Grandma.

It's like, man, you know a lot of you look at a lot of when you appear, your peers or whatever, they like that mom and dad, Like how did that affect you?

Growing up?

Man?

Man?

You know my wife always tell me, she like, I don't care what it is.

I don't never see your ass cry.

And I was just like shit, to be honest with you, I ain't got no more tives to shed, you know what I'm saying.

I ain't got no more tiars to shed.

Like I cried myself to sleep every fucking night as a youngster for what I didn't have, you know what I'm saying, and knowing how shit could have been if I had somebody in my life.

So I always you know, it was it was certain times where you know what I'm saying, shit happened at school or things, you know, cause Grandma's gonna be Grandma's right, But they ain't never helped to the real culture and what's really happened, So you ain't really got nobody that you could go really have a world conversation with, right.

So it's like it's those times, right, It's like those times when you have certain shit and you want you want your mama or your daddy because even though you know, like shit, I'm I'm a daddy now.

But like if I pull up to event, you know what I'm saying, I want to be fly.

You know what I'm saying.

I want to show up for my kids because I don't want my I don't know my grandma used to be pulling up to the school on some bullshit on the dress go you know what I'm saying.

Perk you, know it's kind of hard for me Because i've been to these, universes These Ticket, Universities Ray, Universities Paul, university and at the time it was Lebron.

K you feel like a, problem get it, out a real.

Problem so for, him you, know to be where he at today is taking a lot out of.

Me BUT i just gained a lot of respect and a lot of you know What i'm.

SAYING i GOTTA i gotta take my hat off to him now simply because you my, man AND i know you ain't gonna stamp none that ain't.

Official so if he doing what he's, doing like he's, doing how he?

Subjects shout out, to, shot shout out.

To but you know what's crazy is that as much AS kg hated Brun, yeah, okay you listen to a motherfucker now he, praised he raised the big salute to.

Him, MAN i ain't gonna.

LIE i ain't gonna.

Lie it's definitely the pleasure for you being played with.

Him but you know WHAT i want to ask is you, know being in the lamblight that you in THE espn right.

Now you, know it's LIKE i can't confront perk.

Bro you you just spoke for the guys that have played.

It i'm talk about you doing it at the highest.

Level you're doing it, consistently guys tuning in for who they.

Is they tuned it.

In and so for you to say, that and for, me for me to say, THAT i gotta ask you this bro to have all these relationships and you, know we talked About, Bron we talked about playing with kd Uh paul these.

Days how does it feel to not have a to be biased in the field where you got to speak the truth in THE espn field because you lose.

Relationships perk unfollows and you, too you hey man for it ain't calling you center.

Invice, yeah due to the strength of THE.

Espn how do you feel and if it's any rebuttals or anything that you, said or any regrets or, like how do you feel in that space when you do?

Speaker 4

That?

Speaker 3

Man it's just like what you said earlier is like it's a little it's one of them little.

Toy you're looking situations when you be torn because the bag is you getting.

Paid, yeah but it's fucked up because it's fucked up, because LIKE i, said, man you Know hall Of, famers when they finished their, career whether they good AT, tv whether they got the personality or, not the red carpet is rolled out for.

Them you know What i'm.

Saying as a, yeah, champion but as a role, player LIKE i had to earn my stripes at that motherfucking.

Network you know What i'm, Saying THAT, ESPN i had to earn that.

Shit like my first year and a, HALF i worked there for.

Free motherfuckers don't even.

Know LIKE i had to earn.

THAT i had to earn a being able to capture audience as being a country boy from Bon, My texas that sometimes come up there and speak with Broken.

English you know What i'm.

Saying it took a minute for people to catch on to the country the country sayings you know THAT i might pick up from you, know an uncle or old head from The domino table THAT i may oh, yeah, okay, Cool it took him a minute to adjust to.

That and if you go on there and these, networks because you gotta remember a guy Like Charles, barkley he already set the ball like He you may not agree with, him but he gonna speak his.

Mind if you don't like, him you kiss his ass twice type.

Deal, Right but it goes back to how, Many LIKE i told y'all, BEFORE i had so many regrets as a player BECAUSE i didn't put enough into.

It so WHEN i got this, opportunity you know What i'm, SAYING i cut out a lot of.

Ship so it was the sacrificing part of.

It it's THE i ain't smoke weed and fucking five years type ship because, yes you don't got nothing to do with the.

Money let's get that, right, Created, BRO i ain't lying to.

YOU i ain't.

LYING i.

Speaker 7

WAS i was that.

Speaker 3

ONE i was that one we got big.

FIFTY i was that one coming home and had four or five.

OUNCES i was that one that was coming on and had three three folk cream sodas pulled up a day with a deuce and each one of.

Speaker 6

THEM i.

Speaker 3

WAS i was that one that fell asleep in the drive through of A jack in the, box, bro and woke up eight in the, morning, like, damn what's?

Up you know What i'm saying in the bit, bro that's a big.

Transformation LIKE i was that.

Real SO i was, like all, right, cool this opportunity.

Came i'm, like, man you know, What i'm gonna make this career better than my last.

Day these people trusted me with they.

PLATFORM i got millions of people watching me every.

Day you know What i'm.

Day we see you, work you.

WORK i gotta.

WORK i gotta sacrifice If i'm trying to get to Where i'm trying to, go some shit you gotta put.

Aside it's just like us As, hoopers it was some shit we had to sacrifice growing up that we couldn't do that other people was.

Doing that's why we was able to get.

Ahead you know What i'm, saying a lot of, people you, know we couldn't do certain, shit and it is what it.

Guys you, know for a, while THE nba was like on the defensive side of things and shit just wasn't.

Competitive BUT i think it's getting back to that, point like teams addressing that, shit and you're getting guys like you being able to highlight and watch a guy Like Alex caruso and be able to highlight him and be, like, hey, man if they ain't have that, motherfucker they wouldn't have won at.
