1811 Pico Boulevard on the way to the beach in Los Angeles.
00:00:25.320
Today's guest I've been a fan of for a long time.
00:00:28.340
He won an NBA championship in his rookie year with the Boston Celtics.
00:00:42.300
He's one half of the host ship of the new podcast, The Rabbit and the Bear.
00:00:58.340
You must have started starving when you left Louisiana, did you?
00:01:20.460
I feel like where we're from is just like, it put love into it.
00:01:32.220
It's been different, you know, away from Louisiana.
00:01:35.040
Do you get back home a lot or what's your vibe like going back?
00:01:37.640
I try to go back as much as I can, but there's just nothing there.
00:01:42.000
Like, I can't, like, I got to drive to New Orleans.
00:01:45.040
You know, Baton Rouge is the capital, so it's like, you know, LSU football.
00:01:50.780
You know, that's probably the, you know, most craziest thing I feel like, you know, that's there.
00:01:59.460
Did you follow the last football season pretty heavily?
00:02:12.300
Nah, I'll be a Southern University for a Grambling.
00:02:18.060
You never know who people are going to like over there, man.
00:02:29.920
I love what he did this year and just what that whole squad did.
00:02:34.720
When you look back at playing in college and stuff and you compare it to playing in the pros,
00:02:54.040
Because really, college was fun and at the same time, magical.
00:02:59.560
Like, what we did in the NCAA tournament was like magical.
00:03:10.040
You know, when you get to the NBA, it's more like business.
00:03:13.540
You win a championship, it's more like you see the business of the game.
00:03:16.820
And, you know, you understand kind of now the process.
00:03:20.860
It's definitely different from college for sure, for sure.
00:03:23.720
Do you feel like, do you feel, do you feel, because I know a lot of times like now they talk more about,
00:03:29.840
and they talk more about like players potentially getting paid and stuff as college athletes or having money set aside for them.
00:03:37.400
Did you ever feel like more used as a player, or did you not think about it, or did you feel more used in the NBA?
00:03:52.740
So then there's a different, there's a business aspect.
00:03:55.260
Where in college, it's not really there, but there's money being made.
00:03:59.560
And, you know, it made me kind of realize when the Final Four was going on, I walked in Walmart, and I seen a number zero, and it says, go baby.
00:04:18.540
So, like, I felt some type of way, but at the same time, like, LSU is a nice school, and they give a lot.
00:04:28.880
So, yeah, so that kind of stuff, it didn't affect, so in college, I guess you didn't think about it as much.
00:04:34.400
And when you get to the pros, like, money gets involved.
00:04:41.080
And isn't it, like, for me, I find even just, like, doing podcasts, and, like, it starts out fun, and then it starts to become, like, a little bit of, like, a business, you know, sometimes.
00:04:48.920
So I have to manage, like, my brain is, like, okay, am I thinking, like, business right now, or am I just trying to think of, you know, I'm just having a good time, you know?
00:05:00.020
You get to joke and, you know, be funny and have great conversations on the podcast and get paid for it.
00:05:06.260
So it's, like, it's a good blend, but at the same time, you know, it's a job, too.
00:05:12.940
It's a, I'm trying to think, I guess sometimes it's, like, my tough thing is, like, trying not, like, sometimes I can't tell if I should try and put on a mood, like, you know, like.
00:05:23.100
Or if I should just, you know, or if I should, or try to just be myself, you know?
00:05:27.960
And it starts to get blurred over a while, you know?
00:05:31.780
And you have a podcast that you're starting up, right?
00:05:45.520
A beautiful young lady in the adult industry and just her aspect of life and athletes, you know, a part of life.
00:05:55.580
And that's what we try to base it on and kind of get our viewers to kind of understand just another take of, you know, these two people, you know, on this side of the world, you know?
00:06:05.700
So it's like, it's a great, I'm excited about it.
00:06:08.780
It's just going to be you guys having a good time.
00:06:11.140
But we're going to be talking about a lot of stuff, though.
00:06:13.460
You know, trying to humanize, you know, the adult industry.
00:06:17.540
And then also try to bring sports, you know, in the same package.
00:06:25.860
Because Vegas is really, it's probably, I guess, a crossing grounds, I guess.
00:06:29.260
I wonder if, especially during that summer league, did you ever play in summer league or no?
00:06:37.020
You think about Vegas, everybody in the world stops there.
00:06:44.760
We want you to come in for an hour, come in for 40, 50 minutes and kind of tell us what's going on with your life and your experience.
00:06:58.980
I try to stay out of trouble, but I struggle with, I try to stay off of adult industry.
00:07:04.400
I've been, I've seen a lot of y'all's work, but I'm trying not to watch anymore, man.
00:07:17.200
But I mean, I love y'all's work and everything.
00:07:33.440
You know what, you know, I've got a kind of immune to it, you know, just, you know, just
00:07:39.240
It's like, oh, that's a, that's a fat ass right there.
00:07:47.100
I, yeah, I think I'll probably, I'll, I'll tend to visually, I'll tend to mill around a
00:07:52.960
My thing is, I just have to stay off the internet.
00:07:58.300
I can't handle just the graphic, just the, it's too high a definition.
00:08:13.840
You don't even know sometimes what's up, you know, more mysterious.
00:08:18.380
How hard is it, like, how hard was it once you started making money to kind of fend off,
00:08:25.620
like, because with money comes, you know, the dark arts come around, you know?
00:08:30.120
And it's easy, especially now with, like, social media.
00:08:32.640
It's easy for, like, you know, opportunity to, you know, to just slide into your DMs,
00:08:44.760
It's really, really tough in ways, but I don't know.
00:08:49.300
I think it's how you grow up and, you know, what you want for yourself, you know what I
00:08:53.160
Like, did you ever, did you struggle, did you ever struggle with, like, once you got, like,
00:08:58.640
because I could have, like, I've started to make some money in my life.
00:09:01.540
I've never made large chunks of money like you guys.
00:09:03.960
I couldn't even imagine giving that much money to a person at that time, you know?
00:09:12.860
Especially if you don't know what to do with it.
00:09:16.580
It was a point where, you know, I had to figure out, okay, where do I put this at?
00:09:23.000
Or how do I make sure that I have money down the road?
00:09:27.580
I had to kind of put that together, you know, and I had to lose some money before I got
00:09:43.780
I just, I think flying PJ is the worst thing you can do.
00:10:07.660
You know, you got to understand your money and what you can do with it, how you can,
00:10:12.120
you know, make it grow and put it in situations to, you know, make you better financially.
00:10:20.560
That's such a wild thing for a young man to get, especially in that age, 19, 20, 22 years
00:10:33.580
You want to turn everything into a parade, you know?
00:10:45.540
You tell a stripper to just carry a 22 with her.
00:10:49.520
Just walking with a rim out on the stage, you know, you see some wild shit.
00:10:54.520
I think when I first saw a million dollars, I was so obsessed with it.
00:11:00.540
I went, grabbed a million dollars out of my account and literally just put it on the
00:11:11.260
Like, it was the first million I ever had and I wanted to be around girls and I wanted
00:11:24.840
And that's how coronavirus got started, probably.
00:11:28.460
That's what I'm saying, because I'm sure that money went back into the system.
00:11:38.980
Is it hard to like kind of curtail that kind of behavior?
00:11:41.500
Because I get addicted, I know for myself, like I get addicted to like, if I start watching
00:11:50.920
Is it hard to like, is it hard to kind of, is it hard to not let that, did that kind of
00:11:57.340
stuff ever affect your basketball life or did it ever-
00:12:02.160
There was a point in time when, you know, I would say have to be when I was with the Clippers.
00:12:07.860
I had just moved to LA and it was like my first time like being in LA with a lot of money.
00:12:13.900
So I was just like, every night I was just like, if we didn't have practice the next
00:12:18.500
day, I was definitely in somebody's red carpet party or I'm somewhere at Crazy Girls Strip
00:12:29.760
You know, you kind of got to go through it in order to say, you know what, I really don't
00:12:40.900
You got to experience, know what it feels like.
00:12:42.800
And then you're like, okay, I'm all about the greater good.
00:12:45.500
So let me kind of shorten this up and let me figure it out and do the right thing.
00:12:50.760
It just, some of it's growing up, I guess, huh?
00:12:55.040
Especially where we're from, we ain't never seen nothing.
00:13:01.180
Baton Rouge, they didn't even have, they had some shit.
00:13:03.620
But all, everything looked like they had done it maybe and made it in the 70s.
00:13:08.480
Like, I'd be so shocked when I go downtown Baton Rouge now because there's so much shit.
00:13:15.000
Yeah, they have some nice hotels and stuff now.
00:13:18.660
Did you, yeah, I could, I'll just try to think about what that's like.
00:13:23.240
Like, man, if I got, if I was, if I was good at something, like a sport, I would not even
00:13:32.540
I'd be like, this game is, let's get done with the game so I can go have fun, you know?
00:13:40.860
So, you know, first and 15, you know, sometimes a game, you can make $12,000 for one game.
00:13:53.820
Did you ever, did you ever play with any players that smoked cigarettes that still played well?
00:14:04.500
Only person to be close to smoking a cigarette is probably Paul Pierce.
00:14:22.780
You know what, you know, he is definitely worst dress ever, Celtic, so, you know, he probably
00:14:27.960
would wear a fucking headband into, like, the club.
00:14:37.240
He's a Cali boy, so, you know, they're kind of, like, cool and shit.
00:14:48.160
His, like, he has, like, a comedian, like, feel every time he says something.
00:14:57.220
Yeah, that's the only other NBA guy that I know is Blake Griffin.
00:15:01.240
Sometimes I can, I'm surprised sometimes when he's funny because I don't at first think he's
00:15:05.080
going to be, and then I'm like, oh, he's joking.
00:15:10.060
He was always, like, a comedic, like, relief, doing hard times with the Clippers.
00:15:16.460
We got this question that came in right here from a gentleman right here, this little white
00:15:21.260
Which other NBA player did you fight with the most, or who do you dislike the most?
00:15:31.920
Was there a guy, whenever you played in the NBA, that you had, like, an arch nemesis?
00:16:00.620
Like, and I'm just like, bro, like, why you gotta be so, like, proper and, like, god damn,
00:16:06.620
like, it made me sick, like, to my fucking, like, every time, like, haha, yeah, you almost
00:16:32.660
Yeah, she definitely, she really went through it.
00:16:36.880
Now, he does have, he, yeah, he seems a little bit more like a, uh, model man.
00:16:41.600
Yeah, like, preppy kid, he went to the prep school, and he's the jock, and he, all the
00:17:01.560
Um, when you were, when, when I went to school in Baton Rouge, they had, this was in, when
00:17:07.360
Master P and them were really, had really set off, and you were probably still at the,
00:17:14.100
And, uh, that's when Master P and his, it was really, they had really set it off then
00:17:20.900
Um, C Murder, and they used to come to the rec center, and they had guys, no joke, that
00:17:26.820
would stand on the side of the court, holding their clothes they were gonna wear after the
00:17:32.140
And they would bring guys, um, they brought a guy that played for the Celtics, I think
00:17:37.060
named Anthony, something, this was before your time there.
00:17:39.840
Uh, they, but they would fly guys in, and they would have games with, like, all-stars.
00:17:48.180
And me and Garrett used to always go up there and try to play a pickup game, and it would
00:17:55.960
be Master P, Silk the Shocker, C Murder, you might have Mystical on the side, you got Mia
00:18:02.340
X on the side, I'm just like, what the, I'm like, looking like, it's the whole fucking No
00:18:08.980
Like, you know, it used to be some, like, epic runs, you know, um, Strowmall Swift would
00:18:14.700
be in there, College Temple, all type of Jabari, like, it was crazy.
00:18:23.680
Yeah, that's the, that was, like, my first experience, uh, watching basketball when I
00:18:31.540
And then I would go watch, um, you know, I'm trying to think who played, yeah, that
00:18:35.840
was when Strowmall played when I was in college.
00:18:46.680
Yeah, he was, he had some big hands, like, like, like, Kawhi Leonard.
00:18:54.200
I'm talking about some, you know, we used to skip school and used to go over to their
00:18:58.800
WCA, and, uh, he would just, like, I'll be sleeping, he'd just slap his hand across
00:19:08.940
Who's the, uh, yeah, I remember when I was growing up, he was at Salmon, and our
00:19:17.640
And they would play each other, and they had to shut it, they had to shut the parish down.
00:19:25.780
Um, what'd you think of watching, do you still watch LSU Hoops?
00:19:33.220
One of my favorite point guards I've ever seen play.
00:19:37.100
I didn't, I didn't realize how little he was, and just, didn't see him play.
00:19:43.020
But so good, I felt like, I feel like he, cause he all, I think he's run some with
00:19:52.840
Yep, he, you know, he, he's just a guy that I feel like, if would've went more in the
00:19:58.220
tournament, went down the line, probably been a first rounder.
00:20:03.440
I was looking at the, the Maryland NCAA game, when he made the winning shot last year.
00:20:08.880
And I was just like, that was so, you know, the way he maneuvers and get in the lane, like,
00:20:14.640
He has angles that are just different than people while he's moving, you know?
00:20:19.260
I was so bummed that, that, I can't remember if he left earlier, he just, he might've been
00:20:33.300
I try and keep tabs with what's going on with him.
00:20:38.920
So, when you, I had a question about when you, when you guys were, before, when I went
00:20:50.880
to school there, they used to have this coach named, Tyndall was his last name, and this
00:21:02.520
And I used to write papers for some of the players.
00:21:05.480
Like, they had, uh, Brian Beshera, a couple of other guys.
00:21:22.940
Dude, I used to write his papers, and the, the assistant coach would meet me in the
00:21:27.660
museum on campus, and give me tickets to the games, and give me autograph shit.
00:21:33.420
You know, Lamont looked like a straight convict straight out of high school.
00:21:41.200
Lamont had goals in his mouth, walked bow-legged.
00:21:44.700
Man, he looked like a straight convict coming straight to college.
00:21:50.800
He was right out of the, like, he climbed out of the swamp.
00:21:59.900
Who was the, who's the most gangliest looking dude, if you're out there on the court, when
00:22:03.300
you see this dude, you're like, how am I even gonna play this guy, because his body doesn't
00:22:08.440
Who's just gum beat out there, just, like, to a level?
00:22:15.060
Was there anybody just, they had one arm that was just too long, or something, just somebody,
00:22:21.660
Just so big, so fast, so smart, you know what I mean?
00:22:27.940
Yeah, like, playing with the Celtics, and playing Cleveland, when they were kinda on the ups,
00:22:34.200
and, you know, fighting for that, you know, Eastern Conference Championship, like, he was
00:22:41.180
And then, it's like five other guys, like, I understand why he went to Miami.
00:22:48.240
You're winning in Cleveland, you're getting there, but it's just not enough, because the
00:22:56.780
So, it made sense to you when he went down there?
00:22:58.060
It made sense, because we were fuckin' tagging his ass.
00:23:08.600
And then, we understood what we had to do to beat him.
00:23:11.720
And so, he went and got more help, and that's what he did.
00:23:15.000
But, is it, once you get into, because right when you got into the pros, you had, you
00:23:25.800
Did you think it had anything to do with you or not?
00:23:29.740
Like, not in a bad way, but in my head, I'd be like, oh, this shit is all this shit.
00:23:32.280
Yeah, because the rookie, we do all the rookie duties.
00:23:35.620
We, you know, we make sure they got the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
00:23:49.300
They call us at four in the morning, you know, and practice, too.
00:23:58.740
Was it, was it nerve, did you get nervous when you first started playing in the NBA?
00:24:07.080
It's, it's a basketball game, but I think when you get to the NBA, it's a whole different level.
00:24:17.960
And we were playing the Raptors, and they had Anjan, they had a kid called Bargnani, number one pick.
00:24:28.560
And we go over there, and it's our first game, and I see my jersey, you know, from Baton Rouge.
00:24:41.000
KG's fucking looking at me like, all right, kid.
00:24:52.460
Like, it was just, it was just, you know, we never seen nothing like this before.
00:24:57.800
Like, you know, so I fucking cried like a baby.
00:25:14.860
So it's kind of like the last of the number streets.
00:25:17.220
So, like, from First Street all the way to, you know, so from 35th to 49th is my neighborhood.
00:25:30.720
We had a couple sprinkles of whites and Mexicans in there, you know, but it was tough for them,
00:25:37.240
There's always, oh, we had this dude growing up, and when I was growing up, called Brian
00:25:42.060
And he was the first white dude ever to hang out, like, he was the first wigger ever,
00:25:51.860
Bro, he was, they'd never seen it at school before, so the teachers didn't know what to
00:25:57.340
They put him in learning disabled classes, bro.
00:26:01.160
Bro, just because he wore a red skin starter hoodie pullover and fucking smoked Marlboro's
00:26:14.360
But he would always be, he would be, so we'd have to eat lunch with the special ed
00:26:19.680
He would just be dribbling invisible basketball, just posting them up in the lunch line and shit.
00:26:24.320
Like, you had dudes that can't even see, and he's fucking just posting, just with
00:26:27.700
an invisible ball, just fucking posting them up, man.
00:26:35.440
Like, I remember just, when we used to eat, it was like a fucking party.
00:26:42.140
We got everybody in the neighborhood about to come down.
00:26:48.760
Like, just the way we use food there is a form of entertainment.
00:26:53.120
And I don't think nobody else really does that.
00:26:58.260
It's a reason to get to, yeah, it's just, it's something about it.
00:27:01.220
Create, you have food that creates environment for people to have fun.
00:27:12.840
Little Larry, your granddaddy got that fucking big yellow shit on his cheek.
00:27:20.080
Everybody's dancing, doing some type of Zodico or some shit.
00:27:24.680
People playing shit that ain't even an instrument.
00:27:35.040
I just miss being young, I think, a lot of times.
00:27:38.420
I bet you were a fucking handful when you were young.
00:27:52.380
Because I was real small, so I put on five or six or seven fucking shirts, bro.
00:28:00.340
My legs was so little then because my body would get all big because of the shirts.
00:28:19.520
Nelly brought black and white people made everybody feel like they could dance, I feel like.
00:28:24.180
For white people, it was of one time, I feel like, in my lifetime.
00:28:42.200
I would say Tip Drill first video I masturbated to.
00:29:28.680
You can't have bone marrow be a fucking nickname, bro.
00:29:54.680
That man took his mask off for that ass right there.
00:30:55.740
So a lot of those guys invite y'all out to party?
00:31:22.180
And he was like, yeah, you know, shit, I'm, you know, I'm trying to talk to everyone.
00:31:29.800
Like, damn, Chris Breezy, like, you got, damn, turn the lights on.
00:31:37.040
Like, we ain't paid the power bill, man, but it don't matter, man.
00:31:40.660
You know, I just think that, you know, when you turn the lights off, you're just, you know,
00:31:56.000
Like, Chris Breezy was definitely, he's definitely that guy.
00:32:00.880
I always, and I know you and I messaged about this.
00:32:03.540
I've always been a huge Boosie fan, and he's one of, like, the guys, you know, I'd love
00:32:15.520
And he, I've been out to his house in Atlanta, big fucking mansion, fucking.
00:32:21.800
Go-karts, fucking volleyball, football court, you know, football field.
00:32:27.340
Like, he's a sports fan, and he's just, he's a legend in his world.
00:32:33.720
As far as just gangster music and just having that image.
00:32:41.220
And did you notice, so he was incarcerated whenever they had, when he, whenever social
00:32:47.500
So, he didn't, wasn't even on it for, like, eight years.
00:32:52.200
So, then, because sometimes I feel like his social media is so raw sometimes.
00:33:02.060
We need to send $25 to, uh, Spicy Watkins, 71, send $50.
00:33:32.740
And I said, you need to show the world a different light.
00:33:37.060
And now it's time to show people who you truly are and why people love you so much.
00:33:41.100
You know, this man has a boozy bash every year.
00:34:03.900
I think, yeah, he did just come out with dangerous perfume.
00:34:29.340
But really, though, he is the hardest working person that I follow on social media.
00:34:37.420
And he's trying to always figure out something.
00:34:44.720
Dude, my friend is in a boozy neck brace, dude.
00:34:49.840
And it's like, we all got something right to do.
00:35:00.220
And the neck brace will even, it's got a little thing, a motor in it.
00:35:03.360
In case you, if you fucked up or hurt, it'll dance for you.
00:35:19.720
People love, yeah, my brother has, I think, maybe done some yard work or something for them.
00:35:24.980
But yeah, he always says the nicest things about her.
00:35:37.600
That's the thing that people don't realize about Boosy.
00:35:40.440
Like, Boosy got like 30 to 40 motherfuckers around him all the time.
00:35:46.520
And if you touch Boosy, something's going to happen to you.
00:35:50.040
Like, and that's how he rolls, you know what I mean?
00:35:57.920
You know, from his neighborhood, he's done so much good things.
00:36:05.900
He's one of the last people I see on social media that is really 100% real.
00:36:09.460
No matter if he's wrong or not to others, whatever is his point of view, that's what
00:36:16.600
A couple, like a year ago, he said some stuff on, he's like, man, half this television making
00:36:24.020
And some of it's kind of crazy, but it's just, it's exactly who he is.
00:36:33.400
Yeah, I remember him telling, man, you can't put that, man.
00:36:49.000
He don't know where his next meal coming from, man.
00:36:55.420
I mean, literally, man, he's my favorite person to follow.
00:37:00.520
Yeah, he's got his own style, for sure, for sure.
00:37:05.180
When you look at, like, so you look at your future, like, what do you kind of see for yourself?
00:37:08.760
You know, obviously, you guys are starting the podcast.
00:37:14.240
You know, I feel like people, so many people love you.
00:37:17.200
What do you kind of see in your future, you know?
00:37:24.420
Or in a production phase, because I love entertainment so much, and I really feel like I can be on TV and be a host somewhere.
00:37:37.860
Look at this guy with that Karl Malone hitter on.
00:37:45.560
I was just wondering, I know, Davis, you were in Shameless a while back, and KG just got into acting with Uncut Gems.
00:37:54.860
But do you see yourself ever getting back into acting?
00:38:01.760
Yeah, I think that's definitely an area I can kind of conquer.
00:38:07.240
I've always seen myself the opposite version of the rock.
00:38:25.240
And that Shameless interview, they called me up like, hey, come in.
00:38:30.920
Like, my first, I just put my actor access out, just got me a firm to kind of, you know, start giving me auditions.
00:38:38.300
And they were like, oh, we got this Shameless role.
00:38:51.920
So I was rehearsing the role like I wasn't gay.
00:38:55.160
And then my coach was like, I think you're gay.
00:39:00.700
Like, I literally put my shirt before I went for my audition.
00:39:04.640
It was like, I put my shirt and I turned around.
00:39:21.640
You understand, like, man, this is your first one.
00:39:23.960
And so after that, I've just been getting all different types of, like, requests or auditions.
00:39:34.360
Do you feel like you all – I mean, obviously, you're just a big man.
00:39:40.160
You might have had some – you know, you might have stepped in some magical water or something.
00:39:45.200
But also it could just – a lot of it's nature.
00:39:47.580
Do you feel – do you always feel like sports was like your – like I have a friend who I was just with last week.
00:39:55.200
And he won the – he won an MVP in the World Series, right?
00:40:01.580
And I was talking to him and he said, you know, I was good at baseball, but I never really – I never knew how much of a passion it was for me.
00:40:13.980
What was your relationship like that with hoops?
00:40:16.040
Was that definitely like your passion and now it's kind of like –
00:40:19.060
It was my passion, but I didn't know how good I was.
00:40:23.600
Like, okay, yeah, you're good in the neighborhood and, you know, middle school.
00:40:27.140
And I started playing AAU and I think it was going into my junior year.
00:40:34.020
And I'm like – it was the ABCD All-Star camp.
00:40:42.460
I was like, damn, you know, I'm looking at all these guys like, oh, Dwight Howard and Josh Smith and J.R. Smith and Sebastian Telfer.
00:40:49.780
These are all guys that are predicted to go out of high school.
00:40:52.560
And so I'm like ranked 13 in the nation and stuff, and I'm like, shit, can I go to the NBA?
00:41:05.740
Because I thought I was going to be running out of Tiger State in like football.
00:41:10.940
Me, you know, being there and seeing all that, it made me like, hey, let's go get this money.
00:41:15.820
And then now my focus is like, okay, I got a chance to make some money, you know, and where we from, and we got a chance to make some money.
00:41:22.040
Yeah, we going to make it, you know what I mean, no matter what, so.
00:41:24.860
Yeah, especially when you don't have anybody like really – yeah, a lot of people get opportunities through their family and stuff like that.
00:41:30.960
Like, that's one thing I never had really that much, you know.
00:41:33.620
Like, your dad gives you an opportunity, you know, or something like that, you know.
00:41:46.120
Like, I could wear my, hey, you know what I mean?
00:41:50.740
Like, football guys, you don't know who the fuck goes.
00:42:01.120
Yeah, so, you know, I wanted to – if I couldn't score touchdowns,
00:42:06.560
Oh, yeah, and then we're going to put you there, too.
00:42:10.200
Like, but then I realized, like, left tackles get paid damn near more
00:42:17.400
When you look at this season with the virus and the way a lot of the guys,
00:42:21.360
like, can't – they couldn't keep the season moving.
00:42:23.900
We got a question right here from this gentleman right here,
00:42:27.900
How do you feel about all the sports closing down?
00:42:33.860
I was excited to see my boy Mario McCoy in the Skateboarding Olympics
00:42:39.580
Just what are your thoughts on the world overreacting?
00:42:47.760
What I want to say is, yeah, on top of his question, like,
00:42:52.240
with the guys now, they just canceled the season.
00:42:55.620
Would that have been crazy, like, if that was your senior year,
00:43:00.480
Would you have out of freaking, like, went crazy?
00:43:06.200
This is what I want to do with my life, and now I have to be –
00:43:10.760
my last year, I need to find a job, some money, right?
00:43:16.820
Now it's like I can't go do what I was doing in school
00:43:20.420
and, you know, going to play for it, like, after I leave.
00:43:25.280
But, you know, hopefully, you know, this thing will die down
00:43:27.840
and guys can get back to their regular normal selves
00:43:30.800
and kids can fulfill their dreams of walking across the NBA stage
00:43:36.580
So hopefully – you know, I just know it's tough,
00:43:41.440
And, you know, and that's bigger than any sports,
00:43:44.240
just people's well-being and being healthy and stuff like that.
00:43:51.920
I – because when I was – because I watched the news,
00:44:07.300
Some dude is eating fucking falcon feet on the train next to me.
00:44:16.400
One of them, I think, crawled off a fucking right back of his neck, dude.
00:44:37.320
Wilder than Louisiana, like things we wouldn't even eat there.
00:44:42.080
You know, they're having a Doberman fucking leg, you know.
00:45:07.820
And hopefully, you know, this situation, they can stop that type of shit.
00:45:15.100
So I know your co-host here has worked in the adult industry.
00:45:21.420
Are people using, like, you know, what's going on with that?
00:45:29.240
You know, my co-host, she tells me all the time that a lot of people are affected, you know, in the adult industry from this situation.
00:45:37.600
You know, you think about all the young ladies that have jobs, all the young ladies that have, you know, I would say, you know, give me a word, tricks or –
00:45:54.580
Yeah, so they don't get to touch bases with those people because of the virus.
00:45:59.160
And, you know, I've been noticing that the girl's been attached to OnlyFans page a lot.
00:46:16.740
You know, and she let me know about the other things that girls can do in that industry to make money.
00:46:24.080
So, it's hard on everybody right now, especially the hoes.
00:46:28.740
Yeah, these – a lot of these hoes are really struggling, I guess.
00:46:34.160
And I'm not talking about these illegitimate hoes, man.
00:47:20.480
Here's your boy right here, another incarcerated fan.
00:47:27.780
What was it like to influence a culture and a generation of young sports fans in a city like Boston?
00:47:49.840
Listen, you know, I would call Boston, like, especially Southeast, like, black people.
00:47:56.720
Like, because they are, like, they don't play no games.
00:48:06.520
Because you go, you know, you get drafted and you go straight to the Celtics, who the
00:48:14.980
You got all these banners and all Bill Russell and all this.
00:48:18.960
So it was like, damn, like, wow, I really am a part of something, like, crazy.
00:48:31.300
Meaning that the fact that being Big Baby in a Celtic jersey, it was crazy.
00:48:36.460
It's like, to this day, people are like, oh, my God, Big Baby, oh, my God.
00:48:39.280
I feel like I'm about to play for the damn Timberwolves or something.
00:48:44.380
So it was just like, I didn't know how big, you know, the Celtic organization was when I
00:48:52.960
So it was like, to be a part of something like that and be a part of culture in that
00:48:57.440
way and, you know, have your own place in there and have a championship, it just means
00:49:05.540
Like, it's, you know, it's just, it's a great feeling because the fans, they really love
00:49:20.240
Yeah, I got you a picture of Big Baby's autographed balls off the internet.
00:49:27.440
So, yeah, like, they love their sports, you know?
00:49:37.160
Looking back on your NBA time, do you feel like you made the most of it?
00:49:45.100
As an athlete and a competitor, no, because, you know, you want to win more than one championship.
00:49:53.860
You know, I had the best time while I was there.
00:49:56.340
And, you know, my time got cut short because of injury.
00:50:05.740
No matter where I go, somebody's like, hey, that's Big Baby right there.
00:50:09.160
Oh, you're one of the guests I've been most excited about, man.
00:50:13.480
Here, we've got a question right here from this guy who's been hunting.
00:50:26.160
Are you a fan of the new style where the young players are wearing the short shorts?
00:50:33.120
Or do you like the more traditional kind of baggier look like when you played?
00:50:54.220
Yeah, would you feel comfortable letting people see all of that work?
00:51:18.120
Would you pull them down a little bit before you shot?
00:51:29.880
And would you have to put something on your legs so they wouldn't – do you have to
00:51:34.380
No, I just – the tights, I would have them come down a little bit.
00:51:39.080
And, you know, I wouldn't, like I said, start a fire.
00:51:46.480
So, living in Vegas, man, that sounds intense, bro.
00:52:01.960
I stay in Summerlin and stay with – you know, my next-door neighbor is like 70.
00:52:05.620
I don't have no young kids around me, like – unless you go on the strip, right?
00:52:13.420
Like, you know, other than that, I would, you know – you know, I feel like I meet prostitutes
00:52:19.420
Because there's a lot of them just live in there.
00:52:21.100
Yeah, so I feel like I'm meeting prostitutes all the time or a pimp.
00:52:25.000
Now, have you ever had some run-ins with some crazy pimps?
00:52:31.300
I think one of my best friends had gone out of jail.
00:52:41.820
And so we go – we go to the – he gets here, and I'm like, yo, what you want to do?
00:52:49.560
He's like, that's the first thing I'm trying to do.
00:52:52.260
So we go to the strip club to kind of like fish.
00:52:54.880
There's a little, you know, a little shrimp net out there.
00:52:57.580
You know, make it rain, see if we can grab a little shrimp.
00:53:31.360
And we're like, yo, who the fuck is following us?
00:53:41.760
And next thing you know, you know, we get to the house and we see the same car.
00:53:47.000
We're like, how the fuck does he know we're here?
00:53:51.960
She was like, you – he was like, you left the strip club?
00:54:05.760
You would have thought he was on that whoop that trick.
00:54:19.200
Hit him with the fucking – was the fucking chorus.
00:54:31.120
We're like, hey, we was just trying to have fun.
00:54:39.980
You know, we had to pay him some money, and she had to go back to the strip club.
00:54:49.180
But then I kind of like Baton Rouge mode crazy.
00:54:57.260
You know, sometimes they always have those clubs where people always get sometimes shot
00:55:07.900
It's always like something real, like Whispers, you know?
00:55:13.360
You got to come over to – yeah, you barely heard this.
00:55:19.880
So we got in trouble for stealing her from the strip club.
00:55:22.340
So I got in trouble for – you know, Pimp got mad.
00:55:24.920
So will you guys have any pimps on you guys' podcast, or what will it be like, you
00:55:28.800
A pimp would be really interesting because that's such a – I mean, it's really a – I feel
00:55:34.600
like it's kind of a frowned upon job, but I feel like, you know, everybody needs like
00:55:42.800
You know, everybody's got to work for a foreman, you know?
00:55:45.760
We used to have a guy I worked for we didn't like.
00:55:47.640
We used to do, you know, cleaning out wishing wells and shit in our town because they had
00:55:57.960
I'd be down there getting, you know, sending shit up the rope, baby, you know?
00:56:05.520
A lot of it, they think it's not that much money.
00:56:07.180
You got a lot of people throwing furniture down there, bullshit.
00:56:14.160
Well, it was a regular sword, but it had blood on it, you know?
00:56:21.240
But it was – but yeah, man, but you'll be down there fucking two days, come up with
00:56:29.060
And then you got to hand – you know, you got to give 60% of it to the captain, you
00:56:42.740
Most people wish – apparently they wish for bees.
00:56:45.520
Because there's so many fucking bees in those things, man.
00:57:29.980
Because I was getting paid to write papers for players.
00:57:57.420
So the only class you really need is to be at practice.
00:58:00.340
And like, you know, the class to pass, you know, get your grades.
00:58:04.240
Like, you got to get your grades and stuff like that.
00:58:06.320
But like, I was so focused on going to the NBA.
00:58:09.760
Like, I didn't really worry about what I, you know, I just felt like, okay, I need to get some business classes, some account managing classes.
00:58:18.480
But this kinesiology over here, I don't want to fucking learn about.
00:58:36.760
And just learning the stage and just the history and stuff like that.
00:58:43.100
And it told me, hey, you can go to the draft now.
00:58:52.440
You know, but John Brady didn't fucking want me.
00:59:03.420
Like, LSU is not like a school where, you know, you walk around and you're broke.
00:59:09.660
Like, they going to make sure, like, hey, you got food to eat.
00:59:14.880
So they really took care of us, especially the boosters out there.
00:59:26.240
So did you feel like you were taking care of extra or do you just feel like, no, this kind
00:59:32.220
But at the same time, I was kind of, like, locked.
00:59:38.780
Collis Temple III, you know, first African-American.
00:59:43.740
Because his father, you said, was he the first black player that played for LSU.
00:59:47.100
And his son, one of his sons, played with you, Garrett, right?
00:59:57.340
Like, Roy Williams was like, I'm not fucking coming down there and wasting my time with you.
01:00:06.360
So it was like, if you go anywhere, we're going to kill you.
01:00:10.140
And the only place you're going is right across the street.
01:00:13.760
Your high school was, I mean, it's almost surrounded by campus, really.
01:00:29.060
So I'm in my senior year algebra two with eighth graders.
01:00:56.120
How much has partying affected your life over the years?
01:01:00.060
Like, I would get, you know, like I got into drugs and alcohol for a while for me.
01:01:05.800
And it started to get a little bit out of hand.
01:01:11.420
I mean, there's cool, there's cool stories out there about you with weed and cool stuff.
01:01:23.520
I've been smoking weed since like eighth grade.
01:01:26.800
Well, now it's kind of, now I think there's new laws where it's okay, right?
01:01:35.780
Well, it's, I think it's more like doing the virus series that guys won't get tested.
01:01:44.380
But you're definitely going to get tested, you know?
01:01:46.700
Could some players play high, you think, in the NBA?
01:01:55.840
Matt Barnes played, like I'll be scared to hang out with Matt sometimes.
01:01:58.800
Like, Matt, I'm going to burn one and then I'm going to take a shower.
01:02:01.900
I'm like, God damn, like, you get high every, but it didn't affect his play.
01:02:12.580
See, he, I think a 100% white guy couldn't do that.
01:02:18.900
Dude, I always, yeah, I think, I think, this is a generalization, but I think black guys
01:02:24.760
and white guys get affected by weed differently.
01:02:27.020
Like, I would see black guys that could smoke weed and do some amazing shit, bro.
01:02:31.140
I would see white guys that could smoke weed and not do anything at all, bro.
01:02:38.740
And then you would have, I'd have friends that could smoke and play a whole game.
01:02:42.800
Yeah, I think the last white guy that smoked weed during the game was Larry Bird.
01:03:04.200
He might have been shooting weed into his arms.
01:03:12.460
I could see some of these guys being out there high.
01:03:17.940
Him and Rasheed, they were always getting in trouble.
01:03:23.140
And that's why I think it was just, yeah, like, I just don't see how some guys can do
01:03:27.000
that, but that's the difference between me and a lot of different...
01:03:38.620
But it was just, like, I didn't know what the fuck was going on.
01:03:44.840
Like, one time I was at the free throw line, it was, like, they gave me the ball, and I
01:03:57.320
I was literally standing up there for, like, a whole, like, nine seconds.
01:04:26.440
Because I remember his son played with the Pelicans.
01:04:35.460
And you watch, I mean, as an athlete, and you come in this game, and there's really no
01:04:47.940
And make sure you get your, you know, on the totem pole.
01:04:52.840
So it's like, it was hard for Austin because his dad was the GM president.
01:04:58.320
And, you know, he just had a hard year in New Orleans.
01:05:01.300
And everybody was like, oh, he's not panning out.
01:05:05.680
And then now you have your father say, hey, come over here, son.
01:05:10.240
Let me give you all this money and show the world.
01:05:14.280
He just had to find his niche and find who he was.
01:05:20.320
He had to really humble himself because, you know, dookies, they just think they're.
01:05:33.460
I think after that, he's become a solid player.
01:05:36.580
You know, and if my son was about to get kicked out the lead and I'm the freaking president.
01:05:44.640
Matter of fact, you got to give me 10%, 20% of that contract I just gave you, goddammit.
01:05:54.560
And, you know, now he's sticking and he's, you know, he's in the lead for sure.
01:05:59.100
My last question to have for you, you know, Zion Williams, Zion Williams has a big body type.
01:06:07.060
When you see him, do you relate to that body type at all?
01:06:24.300
So, I think he has to understand how to play the game so he can play for a longer time.
01:06:29.960
I think the way his game is, if he doesn't find another way.
01:06:36.200
If he doesn't find another way to be successful, then he's not going to play a long time.
01:06:47.120
Blake Griffin used to jump out the freaking gym.
01:06:51.380
And now, but at the same time, he opened up the three-point range.
01:06:55.060
Blake Griffin wasn't a good three-point shooter when he came in the lead.
01:06:57.620
Now he's capable of knocking down, shooting 35, 36, 40% from the three-point line.
01:07:03.100
So, he has to, Zion has to figure out his niche.
01:07:06.200
How can he be successful and kind of use his energy in spurts?
01:07:15.420
And every time he's using the, the, the, the, the, you know what I mean?
01:07:18.300
It's pounding, pounding, pounding, pounding, pounding, pounding.
01:07:20.740
So, like, I think, you know, him developing kind of like a back-to-the-basket, a slow-down
01:07:30.340
Do you, do you think you played the, the, the, the best way that you could have played?
01:07:35.540
Or are you going back when you were just playing?
01:07:36.400
Yeah, I think I'm, I think I'm the last of the fat boys, right?
01:07:47.800
Because Draymond Green was kind of one of those guys after me.
01:07:54.660
Yeah, but he was kind of like chubby, fat, you know what I mean?
01:07:58.440
And then he kind of took his game to another level when he became more leaner.
01:08:04.640
Yeah, you know, he, he can, he barely can shoot, but, you know, but he's such a facilitator,
01:08:13.260
So, like, he, he, he's kind of those guys that made the transition into, like, okay,
01:08:21.640
So, Zion gonna have to figure out his way, and he'll be all right.
01:08:26.380
Is there, was, was there ever, like, a lot of racist stuff in the league, or people
01:08:36.900
Guys that are, you know, that kind of don't see both sides of the world.
01:08:42.780
You see them, but I try to stay away from them, because.
01:08:55.780
Big baby slap hot dog, I'd fucking, I'd send some people over to that motherfucking heartbeat.
01:09:03.560
Did you ever get, uh, hit, what is the wildest thing, this is the last question I have, that
01:09:08.020
I'm sure a lot of people will be like, hey, come do this, come do wrestling, you know what
01:09:12.020
Come tickle my fucking cousin, you know, for a 50,000, you know, or whatever.
01:09:16.120
Is there ever, like, a crazy thing you got invited to go do, and whether you did it or
01:09:20.900
I had a opportunity, a guy wanted me to fuck his wife.
01:09:45.020
I'm literally, we're playing, I think, I just hit the game-winning shot in Orlando.
01:10:05.980
For an extra $2,000 seat, you get fucking jaw jacked, little daddy.
01:10:27.620
I saw some dude the other day, a nine-year-old just got a fucking studio apartment near me.
01:10:44.680
I was just like, I'm sorry for pushing you, and no harm.
01:10:58.820
I'm in Orlando after the game, and I see this woman, you know what I mean?
01:11:04.260
And I'm just like, she's like, go take a picture.
01:11:08.300
As soon as I got, it wasn't even like five minutes.
01:11:13.960
You know, my husband, I want to fuck you, and my husband wants to watch, and we'll pay you $5,000.
01:11:21.580
No, but, you know, I wasn't going to let him sit close.
01:11:30.820
Like, close enough to cook a marshmallow on my back.
01:11:35.640
Depending on how much you're paying, you know what I mean?
01:11:38.500
You can't touch, but you can get this extra good seat right here.
01:11:46.500
Yeah, the chair across the room, that's a $2,000 seat.
01:12:01.040
You know, I just do what I do, you know, whip it out.
01:12:08.520
It wasn't like, oh, okay, she was, you could tell she was, you know, wet and juicy.
01:12:15.120
Yeah, you could just see, like, okay, she's ready.
01:12:17.680
And then I'm looking at him, I'm just kind of like.
01:12:21.320
I'm, like, looking, like, over there, like, and trying to stay focused here and trying to see what the fuck he's doing.
01:12:28.000
Right, see if he's doing what, like, videotaping?
01:12:30.940
Videotaping or what, that was in the rule, you can't videotape or anything like that.
01:12:37.180
Yeah, like, hey, don't be beating your meat while I'm getting off right here.
01:12:49.580
A lot of people, I feel like, kind of dabble in that sort of world, you know.
01:12:53.640
Yeah, we had somebody one time email, offered us 10 grand to go make love to his wife somewhere.
01:12:58.240
I was trying to broker that shit, get a little commission.
01:13:08.240
And, but yeah, it's the kind of stuff that happens.
01:13:22.400
Well, this feels like a million dollar seat to me, man.
01:13:32.620
Yeah, we was watching the wing show while he was eating the wings and shit.
01:13:36.800
Those wings are really, some of them are really intense and some of them are easy.
01:13:42.880
Yeah, we watched that and I was just like, I gotta get with this guy, you know, and see.
01:13:48.140
You know, we from Louisiana, so we gotta stick together, man.
01:13:54.040
And I have to come on the pod whenever I'm out there in Vegas and check it out.
01:13:59.420
And where can people, when can people find the podcast?
01:14:05.240
You know, we have Instagram, The Rabbit and the Bear.
01:14:12.020
So, like, you know, I appreciate you for showing us some love, man.
01:14:17.320
It's nice to just kind of go through some of those times when, yeah, because I was such
01:14:23.020
And my favorite sport in the whole world is LSU basketball.
01:14:30.540
And so he and Dale Brown were friends when he was, when they were young.
01:14:40.480
So, yeah, thank you for entertaining us so much, man.
01:15:00.180
After that last throw, I don't know if maybe he was The Rabbit.
01:15:03.140
You know, she got a lot of ass, so, you know, that's bear-like.
01:15:13.260
Some of these nature channels, they're not really showing everything, bro.
