Who gave the guys like us the blueprint to play like this today?
00:00:09.780
All right, I gotta have this talk with you, bro.
00:00:25.180
I saw something about this today, and it was a very cool point.
00:00:36.340
They said that LeBron's the most talented and gifted player we've ever seen.
00:00:42.240
The best player of all time, but the greatest player of all time is Michael Jordan
00:00:46.420
because of the way he changed the game, and his clutch factor was unbelievable.
00:01:13.720
From somebody that's not in the league, I'm going to tell you why I think LeBron's better.
00:01:17.880
So I think LeBron's better because he played against...
00:01:21.900
I get the game was more physical back then, but it's harder now.
00:01:26.120
Bro, you're a fucking big and you're shooting threes.
00:01:33.340
Who gave the guys like us the blueprint to play like this today?
00:01:42.440
Jordan's era was all the people who taught all of us how to play like this.
00:01:49.400
You know, there's people who do stuff that's never been done.
00:02:03.080
You know, someone had to set the blueprint for all of us.
00:02:06.960
I don't think for me, if I would have been looking at the game the way I look at it,
00:02:16.040
And I just said, I think I'm the best shooting big man of all time.
00:02:19.500
That's no disrespect to Dirk, because Dirk was the one who gave me the idea that big man
00:02:26.360
So, I just feel like, you know, in that conversation, when you talk about, oh, LeBron playing
00:02:35.220
There was a blueprint set for the people today.
00:02:40.920
You know, the Isaiah Thomases, the Clyde Drexlers, the Hakeem Olajuwans, the...
00:02:45.700
They all had their own way of, like, making and making the blueprint, like you just said.
00:02:53.500
You know, I mean, we know how effective those guys, Boban and Taco Fall.
00:02:57.620
But, in a way, who really set the standard for tall people to come in here, and they really
00:03:01.580
could be All-Stars, and they really could be Hall of Famers.
00:03:23.280
I'm not even trying to dodge the question, but I always look at everything at a full spectrum.
00:03:28.880
You're trying to judge Michael and LeBron, and LeBron's still going, bro.
00:03:40.680
I think you answered that the best way possible.
00:03:58.400
Bro, I don't know how the game is going to be in 10 years from now, bro.
00:04:02.700
Like, think about the change of the 2000s to now, like, the 20s.
00:04:11.560
Like, we're talking about games that are complete.
00:04:12.980
Just alone, like, that, like, 07, 09, 07 to 09 period to, like, the 16 period.
00:04:20.140
That's seven years, and the game completely flipped on his head.
00:04:23.840
Why do people say LeBron built the first dream team, is that what they call it?
00:04:39.200
No, I meant, like, the Garnett, the Pierce, the Rams.
00:04:42.020
Yeah, but even that, but even that, let's talk about all these great teams from before.
00:05:13.320
I feel like that's always, I think it was just different because.
00:05:17.580
I don't feel like it's, I think it's just because it's like, we got social media.
00:05:23.900
Because back in the day, they wasn't talking like that.
00:05:26.020
They was just like, yo, they made, they made the right moves to get the players they needed to get.
00:05:31.080
I think social media itself is just changing the game.
00:06:03.140
Did you ever get a chance to, like, chop it up with Kobe at all?
00:06:15.240
We were connected through a mutual, a mutual person and security.
00:06:25.680
I remember the only, I got one, I got one story I'll tell about Kobe.
00:06:29.760
I remember playing Kobe and we won the first game.
00:06:35.200
First game and then first game real NBA game is against Kobe Bryant on the
00:06:50.720
And then we went to, and then we went to, we came here to Minnesota and we
00:06:56.400
And I was like, bro, listen, bro, I'm going to have to get another win,
00:07:01.020
And we won and he, he signed his, he took the shoes off his feet and he
00:07:07.320
signed it for me and he gave it to me, wrote me a message.
00:07:09.780
He said, you know, you're going to be great, big dog.
00:07:15.160
And we talked ever since then and we've always talked and then it was just,
00:07:22.480
Remember our mutual friend is his security, had a security.
00:07:24.620
He's been with him through all the rings, every ring he was with him.
00:07:27.560
And I, I'm, he's my security person too, but he's more like a mentor to me.
00:07:32.460
And, um, uh, it just, I, I was, I mean, I was, it was tragic.
00:07:38.880
Cause I remember we were doing a call of duty tournament here.
00:07:42.320
It was a professional league here in Minnesota at the armory.
00:07:49.800
And we were doing media cause we were about to go and play the game.
00:08:07.960
And, and I, uh, the news dropped while we were doing media before playing.
00:08:23.220
And, um, I would just, I remember my first thought was like, my first thought was, please don't
00:08:34.140
My second thought was, I hope my mentor, his boy wasn't in the plane, the helicopter with
00:08:47.000
I just remember coming here into the house and just, uh, mostly looking at the wall, just
00:08:54.020
And it's like, it was like, for us, it was like our MJ dying.
