Yes, that's true. But, you know, after 2006, I had to come back and do something, right? That was a tough year where, you know, we were up 2-0 on you guys. And we were in a great position to win it all. And there's just that whole week, you know, back in the days, it was still the 2-3-2. And that whole week in Miami where we lost three straight was like a week from hell. So that'll never...
Never let me down, but I'm glad we got back in 2011 and had the chance to redeem ourselves.
I mean, I don't know. We were up 2-0 and we were up, what, over 10 points in the third game with five, six minutes left. So, I mean, we made a pretty good case over the almost three games that we were the better team. But, you know, you can never not close and say you were the better team. Now, you can say maybe...
in a series of one game where you lose, you can say we were a better team, but you can't say that in a seven game series, that's the better team usually wins. So I can't sit here and say we were the better team. I think we definitely had our chances, but once
i think our experience wasn't quite there yet once we once we lost game three they came back and four was a complete blowout and then it was so mental i mean you guys were in our heads we switched hotels uh i mean it was that whole week uh like i mentioned earlier was just uh it was just one of the toughest weeks i've ever been a part of in the nba so that's that was a week to forget and then we came home the down three two still have two home games all we had to do was
was win game six, force it to a game seven, have a home game for game seven, and we just couldn't stop the bleeding and win game six. So, yeah.
Yeah, I think that was just something Coach Eri tried after game four. It was just so ugly. We got blown out. It wasn't even close. And so, you know, he's like, pack your stuff. We're leaving right now. We're leaving. And so we all had to go upstairs and pack our bags and basically checked in somewhere in Fort Lauderdale somewhere. It was, yeah, once it got that far, that was pretty tough.
You guys were in our heads.
Yeah, I think it started with competition, and with competition every now and then, you know, emotions run a little high. And I think what started his comment was when I said, we shouldn't have lost that series. No, I think I said, obviously I was frustrated afterwards, I said,
um they stole i think he stole this and we gave it away something like that and i think that really triggered him because he felt like that this was disrespectful to their efforts and rightfully so so that was totally me after losing the serious saying something that you know obviously wasn't true and they he played an unbelievable serious and so they obviously deserved it i just
I just felt like we didn't quite execute. We didn't have experience. We didn't know how to close. So I think that triggered it all. And then he said some stuff that I didn't appreciate. And so there was, you know, there was some, I would say heated. There was just some, we kind of ignored each other for a couple of years. And there was just no relationship. There was no, no, no talking.
or even when we saw each other somewhere, there was no conversation. So and then, yeah, in 2011, it's kind of fitting that we saw each other again. And, you know, you know, it's always good now to say we're one in one with the Miami Heat and the finals. And so that's that's all it matters. But we're super cool now. We obviously win the Hall of Fame. uh, together last summer.
And that was an incredible experience and kind of a bonding thing. And, uh, on his podcast, we actually had a little moment where we, we talked about the, or aired out some of the stuff that was said. And, uh, so I, I think everything was kind of, you know, obviously in the heat of the moment and emotions and, uh, but I don't have a problem with, with, with obviously Dwayne and the person.
That's fine.
I think it was just like, you know, we kind of both act that the other person doesn't exist. I think... To this day, was it 07 maybe in the All-Star game in Vegas? We were the only All-Star starters that didn't high-five. I think in the history of the All-Star game. So I think that kind of sums it up a little bit.
we're both acting like the other person wasn't there it was it was just awkward and like i said it was uh just something silly but um it just it started with with both sides saying something that wasn't appreciated and just we had i wouldn't even say there was just no relationship nobody neither guys wanted to talk to the other or wanted to have a conversation and we left it at that
Well, he chose this moment. You know, this is my house. And, you know, it's actually the same artist that did mine in Dallas. So I can't be too critical. Oh, no.
Oh man, the weather is cold outside here in Europe right now. Dwayne was obviously involved from the beginning, so that's obviously the most important thing. If he's happy and he feels like this represents him the right way, then we all should be moving on.
Yeah, I obviously remember you from Orlando. So when I got in the league, were you still in Orlando?
Dirk, that guy in the back. That's always a big question with me too. Is it make it, take it? Who gets the ball first? Exactly. If you can't defend. then it's very important as it may take it or who has the ball first. So I get that. I ask that all the time too.
