Got some finals. It's a lot of fat guys that's saying it, right? Whatever fat is to you. It's a lot of guys who don't have abs that's saying it. I think Luka looks good.
He looks okay. If Luka walked in here right now, I'm sure his body would look way different than you think by watching him on a basketball court out there with jerseys on and all the pads and everything.
I bet. No, bro, Luka's so good.
He wouldn't know what hit him. I think, you know what's crazy? You know how you see, I think we just saw a video go out of Robinson in New York of him playing in the summer and he was going between the legs, hitting step backs. If somebody's not in the NBA and they just doing whatever they want to do, everybody's cold.
And then when you got to get in the NBA, you got to play a certain role. You forget all the things that you were working on in the summer. You just got to pick and you just got to roll. Just do that. And then you forget.
Well, that's called bright lights. That's called popcorn popping. That's called fans in the arena. Everything changes. I've seen players in practice that was way better than me. And we get in the game, and I'm like, bro, you going to help me? It's a whole different beast when you got 20,000 out there.
I love Mario. Mario is one of the toughest. Mario don't get credit the way he should. Mario is one of the toughest players I ever played with. One of the biggest shot makers I've ever played with. Mario, to me, I feel like he got more out of what looks like his ability. When you look at Mario, you don't see Him doing it, you're like, I don't think this guy's going to be that good, right?
Because he's not chiseled. He's not hella tall. He's not fast. He don't jump high. Mario still today plays the game of basketball. Mario is still hoop. I give Mario a lot of credit. He was one of the guys I love playing with. And if I was to start a team again and you asked me to pick 12 guys, I would pick Mario on my team because he's a fucking winner.
But for what? Favorite teammate for what? Because you got favorite teammates for different reasons.
Favorite teammate to play with, and I can't pick a guy that I actually like playing with.
No, my answer is always the same. My answer is always the same. What is it? It doesn't change. Shadonis has them. Okay. All time favorite teammate.
And then what about to hang out with him as well? To hang out with? No, that's always the guys that don't really get no time on the court. Yeah.
Demo is always the guy that, you know, is not one of the star guys, the guys you can kind of get away with, you know, get away and just kind of like, you know, be someone else. You don't got to be that star guy. You don't got to be cool. You can just be who you are. You know what I'm saying? So I've had many favorite teammates that you will never know their names. Yeah. I know their names.
I mean, my favorite teammates go back to college, man. Like, you know, I got guys in college that, you know, you won't know their names. They're my favorite teammates. I still talk to them to this day, you know, in our final four run, guys that you will not remember.
I never thought that far ahead. I'm an everyday person. It was just to me, I was always about getting better every day. Now I knew I could compete with anybody because I wasn't afraid of anyone. Once you take away getting dunked on, shooting an air ball and getting crossed over, what else is it? After that, it ain't nothing else embarrassing in the game of basketball.
Everyone's gonna score on you. So once I was realizing, okay, these are the only things that really people are embarrassed about. All right, well, take that away. Then let's just hoop. And so I was never, it's basketball. I'm not afraid of you. Now you can score on me. Okay. Like my brothers can score on me. My dad can score on me. So like, I just kind of simplified the game of basketball.
So I knew I could compete with anyone. It was just about getting the opportunity for me. And once I got my opportunity, I showed up every time. And that's all.
No, but I knew I was going to be great. It goes back to I got a high school yearbook quote when I was 17 years old. And they asked me, you know, in 20 years, you know, what would you be? And I said, I'm going to retire as one of the greatest ever played a game of basketball. I said it at 17 and I actually retired at 37 years old. I retired 20 years later. That's pretty cool.
That's actually pretty damn cool. Yeah. I retired as one of the greatest to play the game of basketball. Now, whatever number that's.
But thank you very much. So I did retire as one of the greatest. So at 17 years old, I had the outlook. I just didn't know how I was going to get there. Yeah. But I got there by my work every day. And also to just by the people, man, you really got to you got to find people along this journey. You got to you got to connect to them. You got to hold on tight to the people that's there for you.
