Sports in general. Like, the sports world like this. But this podcast is really just about the sports world. So, yeah, welcome. Yeah. So today we're going to speak more about, like, my journey and Nate's journey and sports.
Growing up. I grew up in the Bronx. I'm from the city. I played ball a lot.
[00:01:00] Speaker B: You play ball, too, right?
[00:01:02] Speaker A: You play ball. But I ain't. I ain't really play, like, in old team for real. Like, I was really just going to the parks and. And playing ball, like, for fun. A sport. I really took serious, but I took serious a little too late was football. You know, I was a center angle. I was like Jason Kelsey and this shit. But I got injured and say, you know, oh, man, it was. It was really a. Like a life ending, like, fucking a career, ending injury.
But, yeah, football, I ain't gonna lie to you. Football did a lot for me when I was in high school my freshman year. I ain't going to the high school that I graduated in, so I went to careers in sports. I ain't really. I ain't really playing on sports. I'm gonna keep it a buck. I just went to the school because it sounded nice, you know, it sounded cool. I thought they were gonna take me to the A. That's when I was still taking basketball serious. But shit happens. I transferred to fda, and when I got in there, I didn't really know nobody. I ain't gonna lie. I knew, like, three people, four people. But then people started coming up to me, like, yo, why you not playing football?
They needed players, and they really needed a center for. I ain't gonna lie. I think they was really with me, bro. Like, they was like, yo, we need a center. So it.
[00:02:19] Speaker B: Bro, just pull up was nice, so they got what they needed.
[00:02:22] Speaker A: But I didn't even play my junior year, bro. Yeah, I definitely didn't play my junior year. I was banned. I told my coach. I was like, yo, like, this is the first year back from co. Like, I f me. I fake need time. I was lying. Like, I Wasn't doing. I would go to school. I go back home, lay down my bed, bro. I go to sleep most. I think I used to. Nah, I quit my job before I even started school. So I wasn't even working, bro. I was fake being just amazing. I was going outside with the guys. It was. We were still hooping, but you know, but then after, like, everything, I started getting cool with people that played football in the school. And I was like, it. Let me try. Like, can't be that bad. Had my first practice. I ain't got first practice. How. Like, I'm in that. I'm like, this is like, almost too, bro.
[00:03:11] Speaker B: I'm not me because I don't know.
[00:03:15] Speaker A: We even get to the serious water, bro. Like, this really, like, we really, like 10 minutes or five minutes into practice, and I'm there. I'm. I'm asking people. I'm like, yo, ask my son to warm, bro. I say, yo, like, how are you not out of breath? Like, what do you do? Like, what's some breathing mechanism that I could take from you?
What's some breathing mechanism I can take from you? Gay? Like, what's going on? I'm tired already. But yeah, then, you know, after more practices, that's all getting used to it. And to be honest, I ain't gonna lie. Like, again, before I got into football, I told you I didn't really know nobody. And then I got into football, I started talking to mad people. Like, I made a lot of friends with football. Like, and it fake changed my whole personality. Like, my coach, Coach Brian. Shout out to Coach Brian. Like, shout out. Coach O2. Shout out.
Shout out both of them. I ain't gonna lie. They really, like, they did a lot for me back then. I wasn't really, like, I wasn't really trying to talk to nobody for real. Like, I was really into myself person. And you could look, my son Jordan, too, he got me into football too. My son Jordan, he used to be like, yo, you moving like, you. You don't with nobody. But really, I really. I really wasn't with nobody. And football really got me to, like, express myself. And Coach Brian, as I said Coach Brian, he would teach me a lot of lessons. I was like, all right, it's for football. Like, he's talking about football, but this is like, I could use in the outside world. So I really just. I appreciate him a lot. And basketball, like, again, as I didn't take it serious, but, like, it kept me from a lot of trouble. Like, as a kid. Yeah, like, it's really in the city. It's mad, like. I ain't gonna lie. It's mad, like, going around you. Like, there's people fighting, yo, let's get it on out to school like is doing. But basketball really was like, me. Me and my friends from middle school, Sebastian, Ali, Abubakar, Steven, we was like, yo, like, bro, we gotta make the. A.J. you know what we said we were gonna do? We said, yo, going to see each other in College Bowl. And like, one of us. Like, two of us is going to face each other in the. In the. What's it called?

Me, like, you know, just the kids staying out of trouble and all that. So, you know, that's what. That's what Bull did for me a lot. I ain't gonna lie. I appreciate sports. I appreciate basketball. I appreciate football. I appreciate everybody who was playing the sport with me. I ain't gonna lie because they. That just. That's just. That's what. And who made me the person I am today.
Yeah.
[00:06:20] Speaker B: I played bull.
I started playing ball when I was young, though I was an only child, so my mom was just trying to find stuff for me to do. Fake. She didn't want me in the house. She was watching tv, going outside, getting in trouble. So I started playing Bull. I started playing for Coach Wright at HES in Brooklyn. I'm from Brooklyn.

Like, if you was getting trouble at school, your mom tell Coach Tone you doing bear calls for 40 minutes. Told me he's not playing no games with you, but he really kept you disciplined real soon. I'm not gonna lie. Bo helped me a lot, yo, Just like everybody, I'm trying to go to the A.

Basketball was just a great thing. Kept me out the. Got me out of trouble. I remember I stopped playing ball when I was in fifth grade.
[00:08:38] Speaker A: But you stopped playing ball fifth?
[00:08:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Cause I was getting in trouble in my middle school. Ain't have no bull team that's had no bull team. So I stopped playing bull. But, like, anytime I would get mad or, like, I needed something to do in my free time, I'm going to the park. It came out a lot of trouble. I used to go to the park by myself, just play some music. I'm chilling.
[00:08:56] Speaker A: When you play au. What was, like, what was the worst game? Like, when you got spanked? Like, yo, okay, like, you want to play ball no more. Like, yeah, I one of those that you guys f so bad you want.
[00:09:06] Speaker B: To play ball no more. Yo, all right, so I think I. It wasn't really. I think we played our record. We played some kids at Rucker, and I came to the game late. My mom drove me late. I got that halftime. We was down by like 10.
I was a Little bigger kid. So I was playing, like, forward. I was. I shouldn't have been playing forward. I was. I wasn't ready to play. Them kids, they was bigger than bro. Every team we played, coach told we used to be at practice the next day, coach told him. Talking about something. Yo, bro, why they got a 15 year old, yo, he was getting tight. So. Yo, bro, I'm not gonna lie. I'm just gonna get in the game. So I got the ball in front of me. Yo, when I tell you he take one dribble, he body me so hard, bro, put his shoulder directly in middle of my chest. But I damn near, bro, I. I'm almost scored.
[00:09:50] Speaker A: That game, like, y'all lost.
[00:09:51] Speaker B: Gave me for sure. Lost. You lost my, like, 20 probably. But I still want to play ball after. Like, I put a battery in my back, like, next game. I'm not trying to lose my 20 ever again.
[00:09:59] Speaker A: I ain't gonna lie, bro. There was definitely moments. I'm like, yo, I want to play this no more football.
[00:10:04] Speaker B: Nah, I feel that.
[00:10:05] Speaker A: Yo, first game, we lost game, bro. We was 2 and 0, right? We started off 2, 0. Let me tell you this. We started off 2 and 0. We ended up 2 and 5. I don't know, like, we lost five weeks in a row. This was nasty. But 13, right? Pulling up. We're putting up a minivans, bro. I ain't gonna lie. We put in the flies.
It was multiple minivans. It was like. I think it was Ben's. Like, the. The minivans were Ben's game.
He did it. I don't know how they.
[00:10:30] Speaker B: Now he maneuvered it.
[00:10:31] Speaker A: I don't know how Brian did that. Ain't gonna lie, but we in that. We coming. Going to the game, bro. I'm recording. We record. I think I forgot what song came. I think I. I think Munch by Ice Spice came out. No, no, no, I'm bro. And we end up being the baby singing that we getting the game right. Angle out office is doing horrible. Like, we wasn't doing that good until we got to this one Drive right.
We got to, like. We got to, like, the 15. We got to the 15 yard line.
I think that same play, that same player, I got. I got kicked off the game for, like, because I. Me and. Me and the. The nose go. We got into it and I threw Frank, whatever. That was a crazy angle. I did bad. Threw a Frank, whatever.
[00:11:16] Speaker B: The ref heard you.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: The ref was right behind me. I got the video, bro. Y'all lucky there's no, like, camera here. I would have showed you the video. So then backup center came in, bro, this snapped up his ass, bro. Snapped up his ass. The other team got it. I went, I'm in the sidelines with already because they already kicked me out. Like, I'm not in the game. Coach Brian comes to me, said, I forgot what he said, but it was something like, yo, like, the result of this game is on you.
I ain't gonna lie. We lost one of my means. My son jewels only. I ain't gonna lie. My son jews. He dabbed me up, he brought me in for the ug. I start crying in that. I'm like, no, we don't know what touchdown.

[00:16:38] Speaker A: They don't even, like, just ask me for a shot game. You can play with my basketball today, bro.
[00:16:42] Speaker B: I realized, bro, he probably didn't have one. He probably just. He probably won the hoop tomorrow. He probably was like, how about tomorrow?

[00:16:57] Speaker B: My first basketball? I don't know. It was a little basketball.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: It was like.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: I think it was from Harlem Globetrotters basketball.
[00:17:03] Speaker A: Yo, I did see with the shirt when you went?
[00:17:05] Speaker B: I went a couple times. Like, when I was younger, I was really into who, so my mom to take me to anything.

[00:17:18] Speaker B: I used to play a half time at the next game.
I'm telling you, Cool Stone. Like, really? I got bull signed by. By a whole bunch of nest players like Coach Home really gave experiences that would have never got any other way.
[00:17:28] Speaker A: That's tough, though.
[00:17:29] Speaker B: Not real, bro.
[00:17:30] Speaker A: For me, that's to tough. I'm not gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie. I think I went to one a game. It was. It was when Mellow was still in the Knicks, but, like, I was mad young, so I don't really remember.
[00:17:39] Speaker B: I ain't gonna lie.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: It was mad hard. I ain't gonna lie. Like, this is when I first Started getting blonde. Like, when I first realized y'all in class, I couldn't even see the players, bro. They like ants, bro. I was dumb type. I went to a couple football games. I ain't gonna lie. Coach Brian, Coach O. They brought me to a HBCU game. It was Howard versus Morehouse.
[00:17:59] Speaker B: That's tough.
[00:18:00] Speaker A: Morehouse got killed, though. Like, I think it was, like, 30 something, zip.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that atmosphere must have been crazy.
[00:18:05] Speaker A: Though, yo, because it was. It was so one side of the. The crowd was Howard, like our students, or, like, just Howard relatives in general. And then the right side was Morehouse.
[00:18:15] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:16] Speaker A: So it's like Howard was scored, and they. They had, like. They banned, like. Like, the march band. All that experience. That was tough, right? Angle out Morehouse making noise, but the team was definitely ass, yo. Shout out Morehouse, though.
[00:18:30] Speaker B: They can't make too much noise. They getting cut, bro.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: Like, I ain't gonna lie. If I was a Morehouse player right there. Yo, I'm entering the transfer portal. How.
How did I tell you? Take me to Howard, buddy. I'm sorry.
[00:18:43] Speaker B: Nah, but n. I'm not. Same thing you said. Like, sports, making friends. Like, I remember in fifth grade, I stopped hooping, and I had a certain group of friends. We used to play the game and all that. And I got to high school. I got to this high school. I knew nobody there. I knew one. My. My son Mitchell, bro.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I played both together.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: Yeah, we used to play both. Coach total, bro. That was the only. And I met, like, all my other friends over him. Yeah. But if I would have never knew him, bro, I would have went all four years in high school. I probably would have never said nothing, bro.
[00:19:09] Speaker A: Be like that. I ain't gonna lie to you. I mean, so I would have never gone to football.
[00:19:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: But I'm telling you my junior year, because it's my first time in the school, because, again, I just transferred, and sophomore year was, like, remote, so we're not in the school. Yo, Junior, ain't gonna lie to you. For the first, like, couple months, I'm dead by myself in the lunchroom, eating by myself. Like, I'm thugging it out. I'm like, bro, Because I don't really know nobody, bro. I'm not trying to. I'm not really. Like, back then, I was. I wasn't really a social person. I'm gonna give it a bug. So I wasn't really like, oh, what's up, bro? What's up, bro? I wasn't jacking that. And I wanted Like a bean.
Never like. Nah. But I ain't gonna lie to you, bro. You know, we had to. We baited. We should have went to the Syracuse game, bro.

[00:21:12] Speaker B: So we could probably do Boston if you want to.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: 12.
[00:21:14] Speaker B: Yeah, Boston playing.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: That's mad early.
Unless you got your early bus, bro.
[00:21:24] Speaker B: You can do a podcast on the bus.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: Is going to Syracuse. How do I tell you?
[00:21:29] Speaker B: Yeah, y'all go hear all types of noises. Have to deal with it, though.
[00:21:32] Speaker A: Y definitely gonna have to deal with it. And that's okay because y'all with us when we with y'all.
[00:21:36] Speaker B: Yeah, from the bottom of my soul.
[00:21:38] Speaker A: You don't even know, yo, but I ain't gonna lie to you. I'm think, bro. I'm proud, bro. You know how long I've been, like, wanting to do this?
[00:21:46] Speaker B: No, I'm not gonna lie. When you told me to do this, I was like, yo, like, this is.
[00:21:49] Speaker A: This is.
[00:21:50] Speaker B: Yeah, this is a chance for me to get out of my show. Like, how you say you was before? That's how I am right now.
[00:21:54] Speaker A: So, like, this definitely going to help. But I ain't going to lie, bro.
You know, if y'all Tuned in love, y'all. Even though I know y'all, y'all, I ain't gonna lie. But we gonna get into some. We don't get some real shit. I was speaking to my son Nathaniel about the Joel and B Situation. My son pushing the reporter. He was wild.
[00:22:15] Speaker B: He deserved. The reporter deserved it. How many games he has money for?
[00:22:18] Speaker A: 3. 3.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: He was gonna miss those three.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: He was gonna sit out them three games.
[00:22:25] Speaker A: He was that. Gonna miss those three anyways.
[00:22:27] Speaker B: Never put a weirdo, though. Like, how you. How you gonna talk about somebody dead brother and they son in comparison?
[00:22:32] Speaker A: And you gonna go, like. If you ain't say that, like, what was the exact statement, though, bro?
[00:22:36] Speaker B: And why is the A acting like he's not human? Like he not let out feelings? Yeah, understand, though, he is worth a lot of money. Like, he can't just be hating on people. But at the same time, bro, like, I don't know. Or at least they should be looking at the reporters questions before they walk in the room.
[00:22:52] Speaker A: But not. I don't know, because then, you know, people be making up questions, like, on the spot.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: But you know how. Like, that's like. He's mad weird for that.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: What, a reporter?
[00:23:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, to talk about somebody dead, brother, you have to be, like, socially, like, gone. You don't understand what's going on, bro.
[00:23:06] Speaker A: Like, that's crazy what he said, bro. I'm trying to look for this.
[00:23:09] Speaker B: I think he compared his son to the. To his dead brother. Oh, no. I think he said. No, he said.
[00:23:14] Speaker A: He said something about Joel and being not playing.
[00:23:16] Speaker B: Yeah, and then he said.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: Because he's trying to. He's trying to spend time with his kid or something like that.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: Yeah. And then he said something about his brother, but I think he was saying something about, like, how we want to put work ethic or something. He was like, he's not working. And then he brought up his brother over that. I'm not looking up right now because that's nasty. My fault, y'all. You don't get. We're gonna get the details right now. You're gonna make sure it's not.
[00:23:36] Speaker A: He say, she said, because that's nasty. Like, this is some real. Like, some real serious.
I lost you and. And the Sixers lost. He lost it to the Grizzlies that same day. Yo, they lost.
[00:23:55] Speaker B: I came in like, yo, on. On the biggest, bro. I'm not going for none of that here. The brothers.
[00:24:03] Speaker A: And I can't find it, bro.
But he was just saying, like, I I get it, though. Like, mad people saying, like, yo, he don't want to play. He don't want to play. I think he was saying, like, he don't want to. I think he said himself, like, he didn't want to play because. Longevity.
[00:24:21] Speaker B: Yeah, but he. Well, he got mad health issues, bro. He got cerebral palsy. He was mb. You didn't see his face last in the playoffs. His eye was dropping and stuff. And he. He was playing on an injury. His knee was bleeding.
[00:24:34] Speaker A: I definitely know you're playing.
[00:24:35] Speaker B: He for sure got to sit down some game games, bro.
[00:24:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:39] Speaker B: Realistically, the GM should be answering them questions if they talk about NB playing because. Or the coach because they don't want controlling us.
[00:24:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I think he's still injured with his knee. Right?
[00:24:47] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:24:50] Speaker A: I feel bad for the 76ers, bro, and their fans, bro. If you're a 76ers fan, I ain't go. I ain't even gonna shot you. I'm keeping a buck shot. Like, it's really like, next till I die. And yo, yo, yo, I'm saying this, but y'all even know the guy next to me is a Brooklyn Nets fan.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: Like, yeah, bro. Okay, realistically, bro, next season, we're running the choice.
[00:25:15] Speaker A: When James Harden, Kyrie and KD was.
[00:25:17] Speaker B: On your team, Joe, if Joe Harris could hit a three point shot, we would have got that chip that year, bro. We would have beat Milwaukee.
[00:25:22] Speaker A: But Joe Harris was the reason y'all even got to the playoffs.
[00:25:25] Speaker B: But then he dropped three points in the last game. Like, what are we doing with that? How you get paid millions and also shoot three pointers, bro? He was wilding. His foot was just too big for the run. It's too long on the line. And, bro, that game broke my heart, bro. Every time you bring that up, it make me mad.
But you ever seen that clip of Son, what's his face? He was trying to catch him after the game. That's what I thought about Joe Harris in that movie, bro. I forgot what movie it was.
[00:25:50] Speaker A: I don't know, bro.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: If you. Joe Harris, if you listen to this, I got something for you, bro.
Genuinely, it's a Nets fan. It's for all of us. It's for the. It's for the.
[00:26:01] Speaker A: How you feel about Ben Simmons?
[00:26:02] Speaker B: I don't like him, but we keep him on the team, which I don't understand, so I ain't lie.
[00:26:06] Speaker A: He be facilitating for y'all, though. He be having seven more, bro.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: And then the next game, he does nothing. And Then he complains about mental health, bro. He got me tight and he be talking his too.
[00:26:18] Speaker A: I ain't getting me drink. Be like, people forget I know how to play basketball. Nah, you don't know how to play basketball, buddy. Yo, put me in the AI Go live. Give me. Give me that spot he got in the nuts angle. I'm dropping a good. I'm dropping a good 15 for y'all, bro.
[00:26:33] Speaker B: I'm going for 100, bro. I'm feeling like will.
I'm not going for you.
[00:26:38] Speaker A: Might go for 100 shots.
[00:26:39] Speaker B: How many? I'll make it out of 100.
Who's guarding me? Oh, I'm open. If I'm wide open, I'm making like.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: Like it's designated place for you.
[00:26:47] Speaker B: For you to be like, bro, if I'm coming. If I'm coming over screens, if I'm pulling that joint. Out of five, I probably made like.
[00:26:52] Speaker A: Two from the three. Wait. Out of five.
[00:26:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I made. I. I was making NBA threes. Like when I was playing half time. Yeah. Like fifth grade. We was pulling that from you.
Yeah.
[00:27:04] Speaker A: I never. I never, like, went to a gym that I was able to shoot from three point. Like the NBA three point line. So I don't know how it is for.
[00:27:12] Speaker B: Oh, no, there a. That's a gym in Brooklyn. It's called Aviator. They got an NBA line used to shoot from there.
[00:27:18] Speaker A: It's you going like.
[00:27:19] Speaker B: You can just walk in and pay, though, like, 20.
[00:27:24] Speaker A: That.
[00:27:24] Speaker B: It's heavy though. But that's most gyms like that, though.
[00:27:27] Speaker A: I don't know why. Like, y'all charging me 20 for me to play both an hour, bro.
[00:27:31] Speaker B: Like, bro, cuz they. They got to make money somehow.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: They be doing memberships, though.
[00:27:35] Speaker B: But I don't know, get a membership h you over the head. And then how many times you truly gonna go use the membership? Not just paying for bull.
[00:27:43] Speaker A: A lot of y'all getting high cry.
Me personally, I'm gonna try sneaking through the back.
[00:27:49] Speaker B: I'm not trying to play that.
[00:27:51] Speaker A: Me personally, bro, I'm playing ball outside, 30 degrees weather. How do I tell you?
Yo, I remember my means, bro. This summer actually, bro, we was about to go to the gym, so they said, yeah, you gotta pay. I think it was 15, and it was like. It was like one of them school gyms. Like what? But like, them school gym is not even nice.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: Like, it's like, why are you paying in the school gym?
[00:28:10] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying.
[00:28:11] Speaker B: If the school gym open, anybody walking.
[00:28:12] Speaker A: In, it wasn't like it was a summer, though.
[00:28:15] Speaker B: Still. I remember when I was. When I was playing au boy at Build to See and South Shore, they was just letting us walk in, bro.
[00:28:22] Speaker A: A lot of them. I don't know why they be trying to head crack. I'm just trying. Who am I going to just make two layups?
I want to play for that long. Just pay 15.
[00:28:32] Speaker B: But they gotta make their bread. And probably. That wasn't even a policy part. They just probably wanted 15. I definitely left, though.
[00:28:39] Speaker A: I ain't gonna lie. 15 and they making me something. I paid. Yo, bro, they would have thought you. You would have thought a contract, bro. I ain't going to lie, bro. You don't even know.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: You probably would have went to the A. You. They probably would have put you on a little gym.
[00:28:51] Speaker A: Was like, yo, you know them gyms. Like, the backboard is like.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: It's what?
[00:28:56] Speaker A: Yeah, like, backboard.
It looks like they drew the.
[00:29:01] Speaker B: Yeah, I know exactly what, bro.
[00:29:03] Speaker A: Like, why you. Why am I paying 15 for this? If I shoot too high, I might hit. They might hit the ceiling. They gonna go out of bounds. And, like, why am I paying that much for that? I don't know how to tell. I'm not paying that.
[00:29:13] Speaker B: There you go.
[00:29:14] Speaker A: I ain't gonna lie to you, though. I feel like every gym should be free.
[00:29:18] Speaker B: Yeah, that'd probably be better for the community, though. Kids got a free gym to go inside. They nice outside doing stupid.
[00:29:25] Speaker A: Like, bro, this is in my. In my. In my neighborhood. They close down this park. I think they opening another school there. I think it was. What year was it?
I think it was my freshman year. But they closed it down during, like, Coven Covet already. Yeah, it was like. Oh, yeah, we was protesting everything. Me and, like, other people from the neighborhood. But it was really some guy named Boogie.
He was the one, like, telling people pop out and, like, you know, like, try to keep the park open. Even Fat Joe. Fat Joe pulled up one time.
[00:29:58] Speaker B: They had to keep it over.
[00:30:00] Speaker A: They closed it down, bro. They already had that. They had that bill paid. They. They already had. They. They already. Bro, they had. How the building was going to look.
[00:30:08] Speaker B: Oh, they had the.
[00:30:12] Speaker A: I'm in there heartbroken, bro. Like, they just be doing bad for the community. Like, why are you. There's. There's violence. Violence. Like, bro, crime rates is going up, and you won't close down. The public.
[00:30:24] Speaker B: They don't care about crime rates.
[00:30:25] Speaker A: And then you put in, like, more schools, bro, there's like, five schools in that one block.
Yeah, I'm telling you, it was my school.
It was like three other schools. I'm like, bro, what are y'all doing, bro?
[00:30:39] Speaker B: Like, nah, we definitely do communities, for sure. Do need a free, like, gym to walk inside though.
[00:30:45] Speaker A: For sure.
[00:30:45] Speaker B: But we need somebody to fund that. We need somebody with real bread to put that. Because you gotta think they gotta be. They need people to, to work there.
How they gonna pay them if nobody paying?
[00:30:55] Speaker A: I ain't gonna lie, bro. Believe it or not, bro. You know how much people will do that voluntary work, bro.
[00:30:59] Speaker B: That's real.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: Just to like keep things.
[00:31:01] Speaker B: But realistically, they could just put like a little shelter at the bottom and they live there. You'll probably get some people that like, truly need it. They'll probably be like, they'll really take care of it, bro.
[00:31:09] Speaker A: And I ain't gonna lie, like, again, boogie, bro, boogie was doing all this for free. Like, he grew up there. He was born and raised there, and he's doing all this for free. Like my son Megan. Like, we had the day. The day Fat Joe came. It was bouncy houses. I think people was cooking on the corner.
[00:31:28] Speaker B: What he did all that boogie.
[00:31:30] Speaker A: Like, he set it up. See, he said, like, he had the vision and he had. Of course you need other people to help you. Other people to help you. But he was on with the vision, bro.
[00:31:38] Speaker B: We need more people like him.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: He was a cool guy.
[00:31:41] Speaker B: Cool guy, cool guy, sturdy dudes, dirty dude.
[00:31:44] Speaker A: I haven't seen him in a minute, though. I ain't gonna lie.
But yeah, and it's like you're opening more poles too. Nobody won't play, man. Nobody won't play in this cold ass weather, bro.
[00:31:58] Speaker B: But realistically, people not even using the parks for. For hooping most of the time.
People in the park doing anything, and.
[00:32:06] Speaker A: I'm the one doing anything.
I'm not hooping no more.
[00:32:10] Speaker B: I'm not anything. You got to. You got to do anything. Plus the 500N.
[00:32:16] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure.
[00:32:17] Speaker B: You got to do anything. Plus shoot that joint a little bit.
[00:32:20] Speaker A: I'm in the pork. I ain't going to lie. I'll be in the poke. My mom be be grilling. We be having water and all that. My mom be giving out water to. To the people playing ball. I don't be hooping no more. I'm telling you, bro. Be going to the park. It's just straight vibes like I did. Somebody told me I'm yo, bro. I like. Not that I don't like hooping, because I be hooping over here, like going to be ho and all that. But you're not going to tell me to hoop in like 90 degrees weather outside. I don't know how to tell you.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: Like, I'm not going to lie. If I touch the park, there's somebody on the ball C. That yeah, I'm. I'm touching the C. I don't know.
[00:32:52] Speaker A: But be too hot for that.
[00:32:54] Speaker B: I'm not going to take a shower at my crib right next to the park. So I'm not going to lie. I used to get off work, I used to walk past the park. If I see somebody I knew, I'm playing a couple games. I'm going to my crib, bro.
[00:33:05] Speaker A: There was a park right in front of my. There is a park right in front of my crib. But I never hooped it. Like, I hooped it. Like, I ain't gonna lie. No, no, I'm lying. I'm deadline. I was hooping there, like, not almost every day, but I would hoop that a lot.
But then I saw you start to realize, like, yo, there's no confidence. I gotta, I gotta go to another park. And I was still ass. So it's like I'm ass and you ass. It's like, what am I doing, bro? I'm trying to get to the A, bro. Get me, get me where I could, yo, get me to the gym where Carmelo Anthony was playing with the hoodie on, bro. Get me, get me in there, bro. Like, I'm trying now.
[00:33:34] Speaker B: You probably gotta pay a ticket to get in there.
[00:33:36] Speaker A: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They probably be going for free because it's like, it's free advertising.
No, I think. But isn't that the, the guy that be training?
[00:33:45] Speaker B: Yeah, but that's not his gym though. It's like it's like an actual gym outside of it. I think he just like rented out, so.
No, this is cool. I think it's called a summit and it's like a gym because I seen in the video there's somebody. There was some dude on the treadmill in the back watching Kobe, like watching LeBron.
[00:34:00] Speaker A: Yo, what's your top three? What's your top three of all time players?
[00:34:04] Speaker B: Okay, you want to go off like.
[00:34:06] Speaker A: Like actual skill or like, like you personally. You personally.
[00:34:10] Speaker B: Okay, my top three personally. I gotta go. Kd, Derrick Rose and Joe Johnson James, all.
[00:34:18] Speaker A: Let's do. Let's do. Okay, you could do your opinion and.
[00:34:23] Speaker B: Top three, like, actually. Okay, okay. So my opinion was that you said.
[00:34:27] Speaker A: You said who you said Katie, Derek.
[00:34:29] Speaker B: Rose and Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson, because I'm a Nets fan and he was killing for us. And Derek Rose was the person that really got me into because I seen him, I think the first game I ever seen, he was playing the Nets and he was dogging.
And then KD was a demigod. Like, top of the old time, though. I gotta go Br.
Mj, who third? I want to go Shaq.
[00:34:53] Speaker A: Sha.
[00:34:54] Speaker B: I want to go Sha. I want to go Sha. Shaq was nice.
[00:34:57] Speaker A: Shaq was nice.
[00:34:58] Speaker B: Shaq was a killer.
[00:34:59] Speaker A: You said. You said Braun, MJ and Shaq.
[00:35:01] Speaker B: But who am I gonna play? I want to put Kobe, but I don't know. People not messing with Kobe. No, man. Kobe was one of my favorite players, though.
[00:35:07] Speaker A: I got people not messing with Kobe, Kobe and everybody.
[00:35:11] Speaker B: No people inserting.
After he passed, everybody forgot who he was.
I got a. I got a Kobe basketball I ain't never touching.
[00:35:21] Speaker A: On my top three, in my opinion. Like, my players, like these. Who. These are people that, like, made me start watching, but not even start watching ball. But, like, like, I was like, damn, let me try to play like them. It was. It was. Nah, I'm not even gonna put James there because I never looked at LeBron, like, as a figure to play. He was too nice, bro.
[00:35:42] Speaker B: I'm not gonna lie. I just now started messing with Braun, like, when I was younger. I hated him because he was being Kevin Durant, like, he definitely was.
[00:35:48] Speaker A: It was built to ask every trip. Stop it.
[00:35:51] Speaker B: Katie was putting up a fight.
[00:35:52] Speaker A: KD just started bugging. KD started bugging like his last year.
[00:35:56] Speaker B: In the thunders, like, 13, 14.
[00:35:59] Speaker A: Yeah, and then when he went to the warriors, like, like, not bugging in general, but bugging against my king, LeBron James.
[00:36:05] Speaker B: But LeBron had a. Had a squad, bro. He had Chris Bosh, Mario Chalmers, and he had what's his face. What's dude name. I forgot his name.
Mario Thomas, Norris Cole, and Ray Allen. Ray Allen in the corner.
[00:36:20] Speaker A: He said, bang, bang.
I ain't gonna lie to you, though, okay? My opinion, my top three opinion.
In my opinion, Isaiah Thomas.
[00:36:29] Speaker B: That's a good pull.
[00:36:30] Speaker A: Isaiah Thomas.
[00:36:31] Speaker B: That's a good point.
[00:36:33] Speaker A: Isaiah Thomas not. I know the troll piss is not be done with the 90s. Yeah, Thomas, I ain't gonna lie to you, bro.
Like, I have no beef with Mario Traumas, bro.
[00:36:50] Speaker B: Are you messing with Mario Trauma?
[00:36:52] Speaker A: He's not my top three, though. I'm bugging, but, like, when people be talking down on him, he was nice.
[00:36:55] Speaker B: No, he was nice.
[00:36:56] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:36:56] Speaker B: That whole. That whole Miami squad was nice. I'm not gonna lie.
[00:36:59] Speaker A: But hold on. Isaiah Thomas.
Kyrie. Kyrie. I gotta put Kyrie. I ain't gonna Kyrie.
I'm putting Braun in both of my top threes. I ain't gonna lie. So what's the top three in general, like, overall? LeBron, MJ.
I gotta put Kobe, bro.
[00:37:27] Speaker B: I should have put Kobe. I was bugging with Sha.
[00:37:29] Speaker A: I have to.
[00:37:30] Speaker B: I was thinking Kobe in my head, but I don't know. Kobe was tough, though.
[00:37:34] Speaker A: But what. Okay, now this. This is the question. Like, what's the best player out of all positions? Like point guard, my fav.
[00:37:43] Speaker B: Who I think is the best guard ever? Probably Curry.
[00:37:46] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:37:46] Speaker B: It's probably between Curry.
Yeah. Fight Curry. Shooting guard, mj.
I would put mj, but I want to put Harden, bro.
[00:37:55] Speaker A: You can't. Harden was a killer. He was. But you're not putting.
[00:37:57] Speaker B: I can't put him. I definitely can't put him, but I don't know. Like, when I think of shooting guard, I think of Harden like n. Yeah.
[00:38:05] Speaker A: Yo, you have to think about Harden. Like, if you was alive to see him in the Rockets, like, he was bugging like mj.
[00:38:11] Speaker B: Small forward. You got to go br.
Power forward.
Who's top power forward? It's probably Tim Duncan.
[00:38:18] Speaker A: You don't think Dirk.
[00:38:20] Speaker B: You can put Dirk. Dirk and Tim Duncan go. Go together.
[00:38:23] Speaker A: There's a lot of people who say.
[00:38:24] Speaker B: Tim Dun is way better than Tim Duncan was nice.
[00:38:26] Speaker A: Tim Duncan was nice.
[00:38:27] Speaker B: And since I probably go Shaq sh.
[00:38:33] Speaker A: And the guard, I gotta put angle. I gotta put Kyrie, bro. I feel that like Curry. I ain't gonna lie. I would say Curry is better, but Kyrie is just. Bro, he. He does anything he wants, bro.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: Like.
[00:38:44] Speaker A: Like he does anything he wants, bro. Like my son, he getting in like once he's driving that lane, bro. You. You non stopping Kyrie, bro. You gotta follow him, bro. He's showing that he's a lot. He did a little crossover. He's showing that going in. I don't know. Like that is going in. He's an all around play. The only thing is probably his defense. Yeah, but he. He got way better defense than Kirby, though.
[00:39:06] Speaker B: Yeah, he definitely.
But I'm not gonna lie. The only reason I said Curry, because he really changed the game.
[00:39:12] Speaker A: He definitely did.
[00:39:13] Speaker B: Like, he got. He had me pulling from. From half court at like 10.
[00:39:18] Speaker A: My mom's like. Because I love. My mom used to play Born Dior, but like, she was in like a Team like, they were traveling around. Like, not around the world, but like around Dr. Yeah. So she like, I think wanted to play ball for her.
So we in the park and she telling me, she's like, yo, aim for that little square for the layup and all. I'm like, yo, yo, take me to the three point line.
After that day, my mom go to the program.
[00:40:01] Speaker B: She had the blooper. She wasn't listening to the blooper. That's funny.
[00:40:06] Speaker A: She knew it was gonna be the result of that, bro. I wasn't. Because I ain't gonna lie to you, bro. Like, you telling me I gotta watch everybody shooting threes and you got me doing layups, but you could.
[00:40:15] Speaker B: You could have did like 10 layups and she would have probably moved you right back.
[00:40:18] Speaker A: Now she.
[00:40:19] Speaker B: But you need.
[00:40:20] Speaker A: I was not going behind. I was not going behind the three line. She said, you're not ready for that. I definitely wasn't. I definitely wasn't.
[00:40:25] Speaker B: She was looking out.
[00:40:26] Speaker A: But I ain't. I a make my first three point. Like my. I a make my first three point shot until I was in seventh grade. And this story I just told you, was it like in fifth, fourth grade?
[00:40:35] Speaker B: Damn. N. I started hoopering. I was seven and I started. I tried out for a team that same year I started, but I was hooping like, like, regularly. Like, my dad got me a little hoop in my.
[00:40:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:40:47] Speaker B: And I was playing on that. So I think I already had it a little bit.
[00:40:49] Speaker A: That's the thing. My mom ain't gonna lie. Even though she played ball, she wants to put me to baseball. So when I was like in second grade, I was playing baseball, but I was never nice. I never enjoyed baseball.
[00:40:59] Speaker B: Like, nah, I could. I can't do baseball. I couldn't even hit off the tee.
[00:41:02] Speaker A: Like. You can't.
[00:41:03] Speaker B: Nah. Yeah, I know. Like, I was young when I was trying though. Like, I was. The bat was probably too big for my body.
[00:41:10] Speaker A: Ain't gonna lie. I should have been playing football. Everybody told me I was a little kid. Like, yo, it's because I was fat. I ain't gonna lie. They say you got the body for football. Yeah, I'm like. But I'm like, nah. Like, I was getting scared. I was scared of getting hurt.
[00:41:20] Speaker B: Why you getting scared?
[00:41:22] Speaker A: Yo, bro, I'm seeing. I'm seeing Ray Lewis Holland, bro. I'm like, yo, football, I want to be a running back too. I'm. If I play football and I'll go down to that, through that, through that middle, and I See, I see a, like, Ray Lewis trying to hit me. I'm going back. We losing 10 yards. I don't know how to tell you. I'm not getting hit by.
I'm not getting hit by him, bro. We losing yours, bro. I don't know how to tell you, bro. Coach is taking me out the game after that, bro. I'm not getting hit by that.
[00:41:45] Speaker B: I didn't play football like that for real. But I always thought, like, I'll probably like it.
[00:41:49] Speaker A: What you want to play?
[00:41:51] Speaker B: I probably want to play defense. I want to just hit people. Yeah. I probably won't be long back or like, yeah, I want to play corner, but I don't know if I don't got corners. Yeah, corner is, like, the hardest position, but I don't know. Corner look cool to me.
[00:42:02] Speaker A: Corner does look cool. Like, if you perfect it. Yeah, you look. You look amazing, bro. Like, yo, bro.
[00:42:08] Speaker B: But safety. I feel like, safe to be far safety.
[00:42:11] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's more like, how you say it, like, it's still hard to play, but any position. Football is hard. Any position, any sport is hard. But if you're playing safety, you got more of, like, a vision of, like, the whole field. Like, you probably know what. Like, you probably know what the quarterback doing. Like, you just looking straight to, bro. Odds, like. And you helping your corners. Like, it's not like it's on you. It's on you to help your corner. Yeah, but it's not on you. Like, it was like, damn, like, this just cooked me.
[00:42:40] Speaker B: Yeah, but if he throw it over the top and he beat the corner, Coach Madison to that sideline, bro.
[00:42:48] Speaker A: I ain't gonna lie to you.
When I got into football and they put me in that center, bro, I was getting up. My son, Kareem. Kareem, he ain't gonna lie. He's like. He's like a good six foot. Like, probably like 280 biggest. I remember he was doing this drill. He was in the middle. Coach calls your name, you gotta go and hit him.
I ain't going live, bro.
[00:43:12] Speaker B: He.
[00:43:12] Speaker A: They said, Jeff. Yeah, Jeff, let's go. He's. They hyping me up.
I ain't gonna lie. One end. I fake. I fake hesitated. That was a worst decision of my life. I hesitated helmet to helmet.
I fell. I didn't know. I was after, like, a go, two seconds. I probably had a concussion, bro. I didn't even know, bro. I had to dug it out. I got up, shook it off. I definitely was hurt, though. Angle that and that's that's why. That was the reason why I was scared. Like after that hit like I'm like I embraced. It was like.
That was like.
It ain't killing me bro. I'm on that bro. But I should have been played. I did bad.
[00:43:50] Speaker B: Now my first AU game I got killed.
[00:43:53] Speaker A: How much you got drunk. You was in the bench.
[00:43:54] Speaker B: You still my first day. You game. I came off the bench, but that was only because I was new. But I'm not going to lie. I think I had. I made like two free throws. I remember this game vividly. I had two free throws and I made like two layups. But after that I shot the ball like four times. That was not doing nothing.
[00:44:08] Speaker A: Damn.
[00:44:09] Speaker B: But the game after that, you was playing at Hayes. That's the thing us a little AU tournament at Hayes.
And then next game after that I played all right. I played better. And then my man, his dad Joe was there. Yo bro, his dad was getting my man. He wanted. He ain't do. But his dad was parents. I even know parents can air like that over hoop. He was mad young. Like why you doing that? Like let him have fun.
[00:44:32] Speaker A: That's. That's one thing. Like I don't advise parents to do. Like if you don't put your kids into sports.
Yo bro, just cuz he had one bad game. Don't really you trash.
You making me take. You making me take the game.
[00:44:43] Speaker B: You.
[00:44:44] Speaker A: You not playing go like come on bro.
[00:44:45] Speaker B: What Bro, he bought us McDonald's. Bro. He left the bag of Hondas. Bro. We in there taking a b. The fries off the bag. Bro. We. We in there eating his frost, bro. He's like let me get the bag. We hand the bag.
He like rip off.
I never seen this so bad in my life.
[00:45:01] Speaker A: I don't blame him though.
[00:45:02] Speaker B: This in the front. I see this all I see this dreads in the back and forth. Was pissed.
Yo, that. That's probably the greatest memory I got of who that was. Dumb funny.
[00:45:13] Speaker A: Nah, I ain't lie.
If you. If you got a kid, what, what. What sport you putting them into first?
[00:45:18] Speaker B: Basketball.
[00:45:18] Speaker A: But you making him try everything.
[00:45:20] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know Bas. I feel like basketball like those skills could be put towards a lot of things. Cuz you still got. You still need the footwork. You still need like. I don't. I feel like basketball keeps your brain constantly engaged so you'll be able like. Like baseball. Like you just go and you hit the. You hit it and you go back or you just running. But like Your brain is like, now you're locked.
[00:45:42] Speaker A: Like, now you know baseball.
[00:45:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I know, but now, now you have the basketball. Now your brain always engaged. Now you really like to steal base.
[00:45:49] Speaker A: You know what I found out? I had a coaching class last semester, and there was like these baseball guys. They was in the team for the school. They was telling, like, they were saying, like, how, like, they'd be looking at like their coaches, and their coaches give them a signal on what to do.
[00:46:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:46:05] Speaker A: And I'm like, yo, bro, like, I.
[00:46:07] Speaker B: Thought baseball, you just hit that. You ever seen, like, when they get a first basis, there's a negative to get their gloves. I think he's the. That's telling them. And then like, there's another thing going to solid. I told that second and third.
[00:46:17] Speaker A: I ain't never. Because I ain't gonna lie, bro. I'm telling you, bro, we're never really watching baseball, bro. And the. The guy that was like coaching me my second, like when I was in second grade, John Blade, that made me hate that. I ain't going to lie. He definitely made me hate football, bro. He pulled up to the crib one time, I went downstairs with my brother. Yo, bro, I think. I think me, I forgot what happened to our bats. But we ain't have it and we ain't have no gloves. We didn't have nothing, bro. Yo, bro, he only had. He had a basketball. I mean, I'm. He had a baseball. And he made us get like, sticks. And now we hitting, like, now we practicing our form with the sticks and we hand the ball with the sticks. I'm like, yo, bro, like, come on, bro, like you. You a baseball coach. You can't bring two bats, bro. Not even two bats. You can't bring one bat, bro.
[00:47:00] Speaker B: Okay, but if you didn't have the bat that he had to improvise, bro.
[00:47:04] Speaker A: He should just cancel that.
[00:47:05] Speaker B: That was.
[00:47:06] Speaker A: I was definitely dumb. Tell you now.

[00:51:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm telling you, lucky there's no camera.
You really just. If it's a. If it's like, it depends to play too. Like, you're not going.
You're not gonna pass block when there's a running play. Like, it's different. So it's like, you gotta do the same steps as any other Omar.
[00:51:26] Speaker B: But what if I put my. My arms under his arms and I just slammed.
[00:51:30] Speaker A: How can you block?
[00:51:31] Speaker B: Yeah, what if I just slave him? You can't do that game.
[00:51:34] Speaker A: Depends. Depends. If you. If you're doing me, I'm getting away with that because it's like, I'm mad short, so they're not really noticing. But, like, other people, you can't do that. Most you can do is, like, this. And they're not going. They're not going, like, throw a flag. None of that. I was doing that every time. I was holding every trip psal get better reps, because how do I tell you they would not catch me? They called me once, and that's it. I ain't gonna lie. I was holding every game, bro. I was not playing. It was too big. Too big for that.
