What is the Phil Collins basketball story?
Because I was sitting in the eating area or outside in the living room, whatever we call this place right here, and Roy cackled. And I said, what's up? And he said, he started saying, oh, this thing with Jamel, Jamel Hill. And I said, the Phil Collins story. And Roy looked at me like I was crazy. And I was like, oh, so this isn't about the same thing that I saw, which is Jamel, on her podcast, interviewed Rommel Ross, the director. He's nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for Nickel Boys, right? But he also played college basketball at Georgetown, which is, that's a pretty amazing kind of background for someone in Hollywood. And he tells a story about one time where Michael Jordan showed up to play pickup hoops with the team. And they're like, oh, that's great.
And it's like, and he brought Randy Moss with him. And he said, now, guys, Michael Jordan is telling them, guys, you got to be cool. You can't ask for autographs or pictures or anything like that. But we have a special guest coming. And the special guest was Phil Collins.
Oh, wow. Michael thought he was a bigger star than Randy Moss. Phil Collins. But it is kind of crazy.
Phil Collins come play ball with us.
That is wild. I've got him at 5'5". How tall is Phil Collins?
You know what? He could be 6'2". Phil Collins hooping. Like, what does Phil Collins' game look like? What do you guys think? Right? He's 5'6". 5'6", so he's got to be shifty, right? A little small guard, get in there.
Point of attack defender. Yep.
Like Scott Skiles. I don't know why. Playmaker.
Great passer, yeah.
Yeah, you're doing hairline.
He's penetrating. Feisty, right? Oh, yeah. Tenacious. Definitely a passer. I mean, who has the all-time record for assist in a game? Scott Skiles. Doesn't he kind of look like Scott Skiles?
He kind of does. It's a hairline thing.
How did Prince surprise a pickup basketball game?
Yeah, receding, yeah.
Yeah. It reminded me of the only other story I can think of that rivals that as far as like, what? I knew this guy, he's an agent, and he is from Minnesota. And when he was getting his law degree, he used to play in this pickup game. And it was one of those things where it's like, it's a Sunday pickup game, and everyone knows someone through someone else. You know the deal. You've been to these pickup runs where it's the same 15 to 17 people show up every week. Sometimes it's this 12, sometimes it's that 12. But it's the same group of people. You know them. But you don't know them outside of this, really, right? It's all Izzy and Mike and Raj, right? And so the guy Raj, Raj was a premium shit talker, right? Great basketball player.
Penetrating, dribbling, shooting, and talked the whole time. Raj is a big personality, right? So maybe like four or five weeks go by and Raj doesn't show up. And so one of the guys is like, hey, was Raj okay? What's happening now? Yeah, what's going on with Raj? And he said, oh, Raj is on tour with his band. And I was like, Raj is in a band?
