Stacey King’s Gimme the Hot Sauce Podcast · EP 275 · 28 May 2026 podcast

One of the things is like if I was this was your exit meeting and you I'm the GM, you're talking to me, you get ready to go home and you're going to tell me I want to know what you're going to do to get better and what you need to work on coming into this next season where you want to be better at that. Maybe you were a little weaker in certain areas where there are areas that you saw in your game that you say, OK, I got to other than strength, because we know that you still are growing and you're still that's going to come naturally and progressively.

But as far as your game is concerned, what, what areas did you think after this season was over that you go, you know what, I got to get better at this. I got to get better at that. I'm going to really focus on that this summer. Right. I would say really just like all disciplinary things, but like,

See, I would consider last year, this past season being your rookie year, you know, where you got some really good minutes. You got a chance to basically develop in the short period of time where you're here in Chicago. I think when you talk about the things you need to work on, it's very difficult for a young player like yourself who's always been the number one option.

You know, as from every level, you've always been the number one option. You get to the professional level and it's kind of a wake up call like, wow, you know, maybe I'm not going to be the number one option here. I got to find ways to implement my game in whatever team I'm on to make that team better, because I think your mindset is how do I get on the court?

You know, how do I get in the game? And once you realize that, then those are the things you start working on. Okay, I need to see the court better. I need to get my teammates involved. Because you, as just watching you in the short time that I've watched you, the one thing that you've got a quick twitch. I mean, you've got a quick first step. It's Allen Iverson fast.

And sometimes you'll get going so fast that you might outrun your shadow. You know what I'm saying? But I think once you're able to harness that and be able to get where you want to fall and then find the guys that they need to score, your future is unlimited. You got a huge ceiling. I appreciate that for sure. Thank you, man. I got you for sure.

Rob, let's talk a little about your background. You grew up in North Carolina, and you had to travel a lot during your high school years. A couple of years in North Carolina, went out to California for a year, and then you finished up at Overtime Elite in Atlanta. What was that like for a young guy having to basically crisscross the country to get through high school? voice-verified

One of the things, I got a chance to watch that Overtime Elite show. I was impressed with how they run that. It's like actually an NBA type of environment. From everything that they do, it's getting you ready for either high-level college or NBA-level play.

You know, and it's very competitive because there's so many great players there. I mean, each team, you know, one team is not stacked. You know, you look at the Thompson team, and then you look at the cold hearts, and you got the kid Eli that's running around jacking up shots all over the place. It was a very competitive league, and I'd never really seen it.

And I've been watching those videos from the very start. And I was very, very impressed at how they run that and how all the players bought into being part of a team with other great players. You know, I mean, the best kids are always going to be able to go and play with anybody. Some kids can't do that. But those kids, everybody who was there, at least from the camera part of it, looked like, hey, yeah, we're competitive. We're trying to, you know, we're trying to, you know, better our situation. But we're also going to play team ball.

in the league, it's everyone's athletic and you're shooting NBA threes. It was like, you're playing like a more advanced for sure. So when you, you go to Kentucky and you know, Cal is known for NBA guards. Like if you're an, if you're a guard that wants to be in the NBA, you see, you're seeking out John Calipari because of his reputation, going back to Memphis, starting with Derek Rose all the way down, um,

Rob, we're glad that you pulled over to the side of the road because now is the point in the interview where we let Tim Kelly ask a question. And we never know what Tim might have going on in his crazy mind. He's been banned a few times for asking questions. But since you pulled over, we're going to allow him to ask a question. All right, Tim, what do you got? You got to hear about your collection of black Yeezy and Balenciaga wear. See, you never know. voice-verified

Well, Rob, right now we got the NCAA online, too. And they'd like to talk to you about you selling Yeezys. And, you know, before the NIL was available, you just told them you sell self-snitch in your car. You're probably driving around in a Rolls Royce right now that you sold Yeezys for. You know, so we're going to put them on hold. We're not going to let them talk to you. We're going to say we didn't talk to Rob. I ain't going to snitch on you, Rob. You did it yourself, son. My bad, man.

Well, Stacy said he took a pay cut. Yeah, I took a pay cut when I got to the league. When he left Oklahoma to go to the Bulls, he said he took a pay cut. Let me tell you something. Rob, you might have to go into history books and see what I did in Oklahoma, baby. That might be way past your time. But I used to put that thing up. But I'll tell you this. If you were in today's NIL, okay, and you were a freshman at Kentucky and

with NIL being sponsored through the school, would it be hard for you to leave if you're making $4 or $5 million like these kids were getting, like the bands and these kids were getting $4 or $5 million? Would it be hard for you to leave school, or would you go say, nah, one and done, I'm going to the NBA?

I'm going back to school. Hey, I ain't going to lie. Hey, Rob, I ain't going to lie. If I was getting paid $8 million a season at Oklahoma, I might have been on the four or five-year plan. I might have redshirted one year. And I'd have put all that money in the bank. And I know I'm going to the league as a lottery pick. I'm going to put all that money in the bank. I'm never going to touch it. I'm going to let it incur all kind of money while I'm sitting there. And then when I retire, I'm going to have a nice nest egg just from the college portion of it.

Along with my bro. Because all this money they're giving y'all now, boy. Oh, Lord. I wish my parents would have froze me, baby. Froze an embryo. And then they brought me back in the year 2010, 2014. What did we say it was? You're at 14 now. 2014. They put me at 2014, baby. I come in as a 20-year-old, have to do what I did in Oklahoma. Oh, Lord.

I was the sixth pick in the draft. I was the sixth pick in the lottery. So the money we got when we got coming out of school was a lot. I mean, we were the first guys that got over a million dollars, and that was a lot. But man.

I tell you what, what y'all get now, I'm out there running right now. I'm going to get my jumper ready. I'm good for about five minutes and like five hard fouls. I'll knock somebody on the butt right now, Rob. I can't play more than five minutes and I'm only shooting threes. Don't ask me to post up. Don't ask me. No, I'm just coming out. I'm open as soon as I get out of my car. Hit me as soon as I get out of the car. As soon as I get out of the car.

Hey, man. Hey, we appreciate you coming on, boy. I know you got to get to rehab, and you got to get to working out, man. We appreciate you pulling in, stopping in. Hey, I'm expecting a big year out of you, boy. I got you for sure. You already know. I appreciate y'all for having me on here, for real. No, thanks for coming on, big dog. Be safe out there, boy. Enjoy Cali.
