There's a lot of good players, don't get me wrong. They're all like pretty good that are on, but it's a myth. And like some people, it depends who you ask, right? Some people think and one players were like better than NBA players. Others will say like they weren't even good at all. But the truth is like it was it was actually pro and like we would mix it up with NBA players and run all the time.
And like you, you might not even be able to tell who's in the league and who's not. That was a super high level. Ladies and gentlemen, streetball legend here today, The Professor. Thanks for coming on, my man. Hey, helpful, man. Appreciate it. Thanks for having me. I haven't seen you in six years, dude. Yeah. That is crazy. Wow. I didn't even think it was six years. Yeah. I was 21 when I met you.
That's right. I remember you were young. Yeah, I was just starting out. And to see your growth, too, has been awesome, man. Thanks so much, bro. Now you're appearing in movies. Appreciate that, man.
Are you getting into acting pretty heavily this year? Um, you know, actually, I moved to L.A. I had a lead role in a movie, 2006. And, uh... I was always doing acting stuff throughout my career, but it was more just like opportunities that came directly to me. So now I'm trying to like put one foot in acting and kind of like pursue it a little bit more.
Because I mean, if I look back now, I've probably been in like three or four movies, maybe 50 to 100 commercials, tons of YouTube stuff, been in front of the camera. So it was something I always enjoyed doing, but I never really like pursued it full time just because basketball made most sense. All his life. Yeah, so I'm actually trying to release that movie I did in 2006, though, right now.
It's called Ball Don't Lie. Yeah, trying to put it out on Amazon. Wow, so you filmed it 20 years ago? 20 years ago. I had like an A-list cast and everything. Yeah, but it never released. How come? Um, they held out for like, they were trying to hold out for like a big box office release, which at that time was like over 3,500 theaters. So it got tons of DVD offers, tons of small theater releases.
It was actually supposed to be the first ever movie on Amazon Prime. Wow. In 2009. But remember, we were talking about how like, we didn't think anybody would watch a movie on a phone. You know what I'm saying? Back then. Little did we know. So, um... They held out, and I think producers got busy. The guy who produces is pretty successful. He's got a bunch of films.
It just got deprioritized over the years, and then... Here we are trying to bring it out. Love it, man.
And you were in that movie with Sandler recently, right? Yeah, Hustle. That was dope. With Adam, yeah. What was that like, man? It was dope. Adam's just a cool guy. Adam's reputation in Hollywood and just amongst all his peers that he's super down to earth, loves basketball. When I first met him, he wouldn't even let me give him props. He was just telling me how much he loves my YouTube channel.
