And so I didn't know if it would be 100 years or whatever. But when they said they was going to do the Top 75... Of course I want to be in that. Now you got to understand it's 25 years go by and they only could put 25 more players and it's not 25 new players because some guys got left off of the original 50 list.
So let's say it's about 15 to 18 spots of new players in 25 years and you're one of them. I mean, to me individually, that was one of the most, that was one of the dopest moments of my individual life. Like I didn't go out to play as an individual. And I didn't go off all the individual awards. Like I wish I would have grabbed a couple on the way. But that was one that I tattooed on my chest.
Now, but you really didn't understand what it really, really meant. You just knew that you was getting this honor until we all got to All-Star Weekend in Cleveland. And we all walked in the room. And when you walked in the room, you saw the gods of the game.
You don't see the gods of the game. You may see somebody all-star weekend. You don't see everybody together. And so you walk in, you're like, Kareem, Oscar, Bird, Magic. You're looking at the gods of the game. You're like, oh, I'm one of them? Oh, this is really cool. Now you see everybody like, all of us up there smiling ear to ear now because now we in this room.
And so we in this room, we all get to take the photo together. Everyone's not there. 75 players are not there. It was 76 because it was a tie too. I don't know if everybody know that. 76 players on the top 75. I didn't know that.
No.
But it's 76. I don't know. I don't know. That little smirk, man, you think I knew? No, I was thinking, I don't know neither. But Jordan wasn't in that room, okay? Jordan, he was actually, Jordan flew in. We didn't know MJ was coming. We didn't know who was going to be there when we took that photo in that room. But that room right there let you know that you was one of them boys.
Yeah, can't nobody tell me nothing after being in that room, right? Because when the 100 one come around, I'm going to be back in that room.
But we all are waiting to go out. To go out and wave our little hand and get our love. And that's when MJ walked in. And you've heard multiple stories about MJ coming in and how he snuck in like the black cat and just kind of snuck up on everybody and started talking shit immediately. Right away. Right at Magic. And once again, you can go back and look at the clip. You can see my face.
I was like... Oh, this is happening. Michael and Magic is talking shit. Like what? I'm privy to this conversation. I'm a kid who grew up watching these guys and obviously these are some of the greatest of a play. And I'm now a part of this. I get to be behind the scenes of this. And Mike come in and he right at him. And it was serious. It was no games with Michael.
He really was like, get your sneaks, lace them up. Right now. And Magic looked around and saw them cameras like, well, you lucky these cameras here. I tell you something, right? It was just one of those moments where he's like, two of the greatest ever is talking shit. Oh, that's incredible. It was incredible, man. But obviously, they're obviously best of friends. But that was the moment for me.
And I said it. I'm going to recognize. That was the moment for me. I was like, oh, I made it. Yeah. I'm in heaven. I would say so. I don't know if I'm going to heaven in regular life, but I know in basketball life, I'm in heaven. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty surreal. It's pretty insane.
Some analyst talk. Yeah, some analyst talk.
That makes it analyst talk because I can tell you who I think is going to win the final.
Get real granular.
I'm going to start there.
You got to give it to us. I'm just telling you the truth because no one knows. But I will say if I had to pick right now because y'all are forcing me to pick. Forcing, yeah. I think the best team is OKC. I think. But it's not about the best team. We beat Dallas in a year where they were the best team and we won the championship.
If I had to pick right now, I would say Minnesota Timberwolves were one of the finest. Right now. It's the aura of Ant. Yeah, and Julius Randle. Well, it's the way that the aura of that young man, the way that you see it filters into everyone that he's playing with. That right there, when you get to that finals, you need that. You need to believe in somebody wholeheartedly like that.
And I'm not saying these other guys don't. I mean, listen.
any one of these teams can obviously win there's four teams and they all can win it's going to be historic whoever wins but from what I've experienced by being in the finals if they can keep this up what that young man the way that he can the way he puts his his ant man on the game no one else does that no one else goes to that level like him when he goes to that level and these guys are very good I mean you got Brunson who is
