He really pumped a lot of juice into me, was telling me things that I didn't even know was true. He told me I was going to be one of the greatest two guards to ever play the game. And I'm sitting here looking at him like, OK, if you think so, then I know you play with Penny. I know you play with Kobe. And so if you say that, then I believe it. So Shaq was incredible with me, man.
Well, it's still popping.
Where? Where is it popping? Listen, I got on Way of Wade shoes right now.
It's Way of Wade. It was wild.
It was branding, it was branding. Yeah, Way of Wade is my brand. And in Leaning, I have my own brand called Way of Wade. Actually, I'm wearing D'Angelo Russell shoes. We just launched these. And so Way of Wade is still a thing.
I was trying to make wow a thing, though. I was trying to have people call me wow, which is way of way, W-O-W. Wow is a good name. Yeah.
Oh, man. I think Shaq tells a lot of stories now, so it was really cool to be able to get behind the scenes. But watching him trying to get around those, like he'll put baby oil on his whole body, right? He'll come in just oiled up. I don't even know. This is the wrong temperature in the world to use baby oil.
Shaq would come in so you could not like grab the fat like it was too slim right so you couldn't like just grab it all right like the pinchers the skin calipers yeah you'll see guys in like uh like Antoine walking the guys would be in the state now I'm young so I didn't have these issues at that time I didn't know I didn't understand it but now once I got older I did but you see the veteran guys finding all these ways around the weight and body fat guys would be in the steam room right before they got to do the weight and body fat
doing all these things. But yeah, I've saw guys get suspended for games because they did not make weight and body fat. Pat didn't play those games at all. That's crazy.
It wasn't every day. It was like once a week. It was once a week you'd come in, you had to get weight and body fat. So if you build a good relationship with Bill Ferran, who was our strength and conditioning coach, you'd be like, yo, Bill, get me on Wednesday. Yeah. Let me... Let me get myself tight for a couple days. But it was something serious.
And I think, you know, Pat just have these pillars, you know, that the organization, you know, lives by. And you guys probably have heard it, best condition, most professional, hardest work, all these things. And this is a part of it. And he felt that if you were at a certain body fat, he had it for guards, you know, and forwards and centers, that you were in –
great shape and if you're in great shape then you can give me your best on the court right and i you know i don't think i believed early on until it was times where i was not at that body fat space and i wasn't in great shape and you feel it in moments on the court you feel it in no moment you can't make that extra effort fourth quarter you're a little bit you know you're a little bit more tired and so it was a method to the madness but i think as players you're like nah just give me the ball i can hoop i'm a hooper just let me play
I did not say it was the cookies that was the final straw.
Everybody took that from it.
You touch someone's cookies, that's fighting. I just said that was the first time that I was like, Houston, we have a problem.
Well, sometimes, but the plane will have cookies as well.
Well, sometimes, he brings it, but this is after a game. This is on the road after a game. They make the cookies. Got it. You can bring it when you're at home and you're about to go on a road. But when you're on a plane on a road trip, they make the cookies on a plane. And so, you know, you kind of, you have to have your comforts when you, this is a long season. So we all have our vices.
We all have the things that makes, you know, that makes us feel comfortable, especially when you're not at home with your comfort, you got to have those things. Well, cookies, I'm one of those guys. I love me some warm chocolate chip cookies. And that was one of Brian vices as well.
And so I told the story about the moment we were, you know, we all would get in front of a plane and we all would play cards, you know, gambling and playing cards, boo-ray and It's poker and all these things is a big part of like comradery on a plane when you're flying. And that was one of the moments when they said someone took the cookies off the plane.
I got a lot of text messages from that by the way. A lot of people was hitting me telling me their version of the story and I'm like, I was actually there. This is my version. I just saw it in Brian. Like, he became like a five-year-old kid when them cookies wasn't on that plane. He got real quiet, pushed them cards away. And I was like, oh, this is, that's not good. Yeah.
