40?
Yeah, yeah, he's doing a lot better. I mean, it was a scary moment, you know, it's... You know, teenage kids, when they get these cars, you know, you kind of get worried about them sometimes. You know, 4 a.m. Oh, is it 5? It's about 5 a.m. He's coming back from working out before he went to school. He said the car computer just malfunctioned. Oh, shit. And then ran into a fire hydrant and tree.
Damn.
Yeah, he's going to USC next year, and UCLA saved his life, so that's going to be interesting, right?
Um, when it comes to like in the making, it actually wasn't that long. Um, I really didn't care two shits about it. Um, and you know, when I heard your vars is coming out because he, because he was in and it was 23 years, it was like, ah, you know, I'm not going to tell a one-sided story. You know, both parties need to be there. So, you know, it was put on the back burner.
Um, when it comes to the details of the story itself, the locker room, it was pretty accurate. Um, You know, that's why I was joking so much during the time it happened. Like, it was a typical day. I mean, you know, I know the guns, but it was a typical day in the locker room, a Wizards locker room.
But I was intrigued on what happened to him after, because sometimes when situations like that happen, you go down two paths, right? You can hide from the world or you can be, Superman.
I mean, even even after like, you know, this wasn't an enemy. This is was one of the closest guys on the team with me. Right. Every time we was on a road trip, he had come to my room, order food. Right. And we just chop it up and, you know, just talk about life and basketball and training. So, you know, he was the closest guy to me besides like Nick Young. So, you know, our beef.
mostly came because I didn't like the way he was talking to our teammates. Right. Why? Why he was losing money. So that's really how it started. So like even right after once I realized, man, you know, if we do If the NBA do call us, I'll just take all the blame. So, you know, they didn't use the text messages where I text them. I think it was, like, December, like, 21st, 2009.
Like, yo, if the NBA comes in, just blame me. You didn't have no gun. I'll take full responsibility for this. And then, you know, when his mom got... I think she needed a surgery. You know, everybody kind of, like, turned it back on him. I'm the one who helped pay for it. So... I've been there, you know, the whole time.
You know, we went probably like a year without talking because he was mad at me because something I probably text on Instagram joking around. But I bought all of his cell phones that got him put in the hole, right, for the last, you know, Eight years, I was supplying him his cell phones.
I will shoot one hit. It wasn't even a rule. It was just one of those things that, so it started with Roger Mason. So for some reason, they had this idea that Roger Mason was a better college high school three-point shooter than me because they felt that, oh, you only shoot threes, well, today's basketball, threes and layups. Right. So I said, what are you talking about? I bet 20 grand.
I will beat him. I'll blow him out. Right. So we was in Boston, went to a gym, beat him. And then while I was bragging, Deshaun Stevenson started talking. So I said, bro, I'll beat you with one hand. I'll bet you 20 that. And then, you know, other people took that bet on his side, which was weird. Right. So we bet 20, and I beat him with the one hand. I didn't take the money, though.
Jesus.
Yes. Oh, yeah. That was a few years later. I was here in Los Angeles. Yeah. He didn't show up. I think I went 90, probably went 95, 96 from three.
Yeah, when you're in an open gym, it's literally everyone is a great shooter. You know, it's practice shooting. You're in your own comfortable environment. You probably got earphones on, right? The gym is smaller, so it's not this wide open space. What happens is some people can't translate The crowd, the atmosphere, the bigger arena, they don't know how to gauge the distance.
And, you know, as much as I shot in a practice gym, I shot in the NBA gym also. So like night before games, I'll have them put the floor down and one rim up and I'll sit there and shoot thousands of shots.
The star players are doing what star players do, right? The Jokic, the Shays, the Brunsons, right? The star players, they just have a different game. What analytics has done has taken players that shouldn't touch the ball, right, that shouldn't shoot the ball, this freedom of shot. Right. Right, where you have your fourth or fifth best player on the court,
allowed to shoot four or five threes, right? Like, we have to get this total of 50 threes. And then you start looking around like, okay, if I'm Tatum, okay, I got eight of them. Brown, you got eight. Hey, coach, we need about 40-something more. Where are we going to get them from? And then, like, Derek White raising his hand, like, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, guy. You got paid for defense.
Play defense, right? You're not going to be chucking 10 threes up. And that's what ended up happening in this new analytic where they're trying to –
