You got to take that job.
I said, man, I ain't doing it.
And then so I called Jerry West, who's my mentor.
And Jerry like, you know, could you mother, what are you thinking?
If you don't take this job, they'll never give you another job ever again.
Think you can't leave Doc's umbrella, whatever, whatever.
So I was like, man, I'm not doing it.
And so he's like going crazy.
So my agent called back again.
He said like, they said, well, what do you want?
I said, well, just tell them 2 million, 2, 2, 2, whatever, whatever.
He called me back and said, they said yes.
You're like, damn, I could have said two, five.
So I was like, shit, all right, I got to go.
I called Doc, and Doc was like, you know what, Ty, it's going to be hard for us to match that.
He said, but I think you're ready to leave my umbrella and spread your wings and do your own thing.
I think it'd be good for you.
