All I ever knew was sports.
It's all I ever wanted to do.
My dad was a PE coach.
For a while, I thought I was going to be a football player.
For a while, I thought I was going to be a baseball player.
For a while, I thought I was going to be a tennis player.
I wound up being a basketball player.
It was my passion.
The common thread in every single one of those and in everything I ever did was competition, pure competition, learning how to fight and scrap.
And if you could go win a game, the best feelings I ever had were winning games I wasn't supposed to win.
Those are the best, some of my best memories were going into people's buildings, having no chance to win a game, being the complete underdog and figuring out a way to win that.
When you start meddling in that and fixing games, if you will, because that's what it, I mean, that's what you're doing.
Like you're, you fixed the fucking game.
Like you fixed, I mean, why people get their FBI raids.
I saw some former college basketball players.
They're indicted right now for fixing fucking games.
for changing the outcome of the game.
You're midstream in a Utah Jazz game, and we got a chance to win, and this spread's getting covered, and you, as the Jazz, say, sit in all three players.
That's not fixing the fucking game.
Look, I don't want to get clipped and go viral.
