Speaker 7 (20:01):
Best point Guard? Mess up John Stockton by far. He
was just a little bit more crafty. Everybody thought he
was dirty, but we was just stupid. We just didn't
know how to plane. It took me six years of
figuring him out. And then when I figured him out,
when we beat him in the Western Conference finals.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
I figured him out.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
I figured out I can't keep doing the same thing
I do with him and try to overmatch him. I
gotta play the same way he played, and I gotta
just every time I pound him, he'll fall and take
a charge. Then I started saying, no, I know he
gonna hit. He gonna think I'm hit him twice, but
I'm gonna hit him one time, and the I'm gonna
step off, and then he shoots a jumper in his
face and do everything and then face him up and
(20:40):
go around him.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
He couldn't deal with.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Me that day.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
And then when I figured him out, it was a
little bit different. And then, you know, like everybody know today,
I idolized him a lot. You know what I'm saying.
He's like one of my best friends, and you know,
and it was just I really love playing against players
like that, you know what I'm saying, Because you got
me more of an IQ of the game, and John
(21:05):
Stock and Jim Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Rod Stricklandkie Blaylock, people
like that. I wanted to play against men, you know
what I'm saying, because they gave me more game and
maybe more of a better basketball player.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
We got to talk about Oakland, like we said, you
know what I'm saying, it's a lot of talented point
guards come out of Oakland.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Obviously y'all had a conversation recently on another podcast, and
y'all was talking about top guards in Oakland, and we
brung up Dame Lillard, Jason Kidd and you and I
went with Dane, that's my that's my class. That's the
guys I grew up playing against. I think Simba said
simber Symbol might have he said he everybody else says you,
(21:58):
and I've seen what you said your response. I love
for you to elaborate a little more response.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
It made sense to me.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
I see the og ship.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yah, but you where you really start because obviously, yeah, dang,
my guy. You know, Dame, that's our guy. But when
you start breaking down, like hold on, I averaged twenty points.
The simple it was over there said like, yeah, because
people forget.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Any highest what you're said. People forgot how I score.
People think about my defense. Yeah, y'all got to understand, man,
I was scoring like for eight traight years, I was
scoring over twenty points a game, you know what I'm saying,
And then I was getting down, locking down people and
then averaging eight assist in three steals.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Gotta understand that that that's that's where the game goes.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
And people don't understand I scored over like twenty one
thousand point People forget that.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, overscore. They they overlooked that.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
But what I say is about my two youngsters, right, Jay,
I raised him. You know what I'm saying, y'all gotta understand.
Jay didn't start scoring into the years of his career, right.
So if we break it down, Jay is a better
PASSWORD than me. You feel what I'm saying. Defender he's not.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
You know what I'm saying. Scor he is not. But
he's a great IQ guy. You know what I'm saying.
Dame is my youngster. You know what I'm saying. We
can't put Dame in that.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Situation right now because he's not fulfilled all the things
that he's done. But he's made his mark on the
NBA as a shooting and scoring and Dame is a
little bit different to point guard than us, you know
what I'm saying, because his error came a little different.
It's about scoring here now, it's not about passing the
ball getting the other people into the game. Jason was
(23:38):
a better rebounder than both of us, you know what
I'm saying, So it's a little bit different than what
we do. Dame didn't steal the ball like we stole
the ball, so it's a little different than what we're
talking about. Eras it's an era thing.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
I get everybody has their.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Opinion about a lot of stuff. But I just say
where front from Oakland, you know what I'm saying. And
she agreed. We breathe that, and thats just the way
we're different.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I'm the o G.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
You know what I'm saying. So we did a little different.
You guys didn't watch me as much, but you just
know who I am.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You know what I'm saying. Y'all watch me as much.
Now you are. It'll be like that. But it was
like you.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Is like.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
I played.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I played against hy and I understand that.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
I always tell people it's about an era what y'all did.
That's why I don't like people to ask me about
a goat, because a goat ain't gonna work for me
because y'all didn't play at the same time as each other.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
So I can't tell you about a goat. You know
what I'm saying. All of us was good.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
You feel what I'm saying, So you just think about stats.
That's why people go with a goat. They think about stats.
They say, oh, you want this, mean you want that?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Man?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
But did he play against him? Did he get down
at him like that?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Now?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
They didn't.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Then too many plagugainst Larry Byrd, one of the coldest
little motherfuckers I ever seen him on what you're talking about?
You know what I'm just saying. Man, You know we
didn't play against Wilt Chamblin and Kareem or Dul Jabbar
who couldn't stop a skyhook, and and and Will Chamblin.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Everybody bringing Will Chamblin's records. Feel me.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
They bringing all these records and they talk about, well
he was in the seas or whatever, Well he was
twenty two twenty one. Silva's the same. You know what
I'm saying, So we don't do goats here, man, I
don't you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I don't do goats.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
So, but what the point guard thing in Oakland, them
three was pretty good. We were us three was pretty
damn play basketball, and we and two of us is
in the Hall of Fame in top seventy five. Dame
is already on the top seven five. He's gonna be
in the Hall of Fame. We're doing the thing.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
You know, Dame might be might score more points in
both of us, but it is what it is, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
And I think when they go to New York and
say that stuff about the point gods, you know, we
got the point gods over here and this West.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
It's another. It's a trio like that. L A l
A got some point going top seventy five.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
But I'm saying, if the two made the top seventy five,
b d is is my youngster, which if he would
have got hurt, he would have been you know what
I'm saying. But if we all three, if we played
them three and have been about yes, don't understand understand
though Paul Pierce is from Oakland, California, too, he was
(26:43):
born in Oaklen, California, So we got another top.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Yeah, Paul, where's that?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You know?
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Paul Piers and grew up around around the corner from me.
I grew up with his brother and now he was
moly when he was eleven the pall Now, yeah, I
tell you at him like he ain't no l a boy.
He grew up.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Eleven.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
So let me let me break it down. That's the
way the game go, you feel. So, yeah, So we
got a lot of top seventy five.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
So you was who like showed you the way coming
up in Oakland, Like who put the ball in your hands?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
My daddy really real, you guys, my daddy coach everybody.
We're talking a everybody. Every one of these guys, y'all.
Y'all were talking about my daddy coaching and touched hands
on So they brought me into that. I really I
really idolized George Gervin, who is my stepdad now like
my step pops to.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Now, but that's coming up in the hood, and OK,
my daddy.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Was the one who put hands on me and touched me,
you know, and he touched a lot of them me
coach Jay. You know, Dame came a little too later
because he was in the later, but he played against
my daddy and my daddy's teens and stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
But that was it.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
You gotta understand.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
We had b Shaw, Yeah, Antonio Davis there, Greg Falls,
we had all them. Cliff Robinson at the player y'all forgot.
Bill Russell was from Oakland. Paul Solis is from Oakland.
He didn'et have a lot of basketball.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
You know that, don't part about that. This that's Pops. Yeah,
in the city.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Bro, everybody heard heard about his dad a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
He reminds me of my dad a lot. Your dad
reminds me of my dad a lot. And my dad
did the same thing. So but you know, it wasn't
just about basketball, my pops.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
My pops, you score around the schools and DC dudes
shooting dice over there, say, oh go there go my
Daddy's they they're gon.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Miss Page's white white escalator.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
Well whatever, whatever, man, Let's jump over the fence and
get up body here, man, because he's gonna get at us.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
You know what I'm saying. My daddy put life in
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Man.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
He told him how to cook, told him how to
do every other things.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
And that's what I thought about why I went into
coaching now while I coach you young guys now, because
I want to make them men. Everybody ain't gonna make
it in basketball or profession. They got to understand that
their lives is been more and more than sports. Their
life is everything because they're gonna be a parent at
one time too, and you've got to graide somebody. And
(29:36):
that's what I always tell them, And that's what that's
why I got into coaching, because I want to tell
them that and understand that you can't always be.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Who you want to be, but you can be who
you want to be a different work in a different aspect.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
You could be a lawyer, doctor or whatever and make
an impact on anybody's life.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
And we got to understand that.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Yeah, and that's what I will tell you as well.
Big him up. He coaches the alma mater, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So the impact you have on them kids, not even
from a basketball standpoint, just show like you can be
something in life where you can move like you can
have these morals and be successful other avenues. Is very
important because we don't got that much representation our community.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
Absolutely, and that's what we got to always be big
on when my daddy gave it to me, but then
God told him to pass it on to me and
keep it going, you know what I'm saying, because we
got to catch these young kids because his mental health
stuff is really killing us right now.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
They don't know how to respond to people and say, Yo,
I know you helping me. Let me let you help me.
Let me tell you about my situation.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Because I can get a lot of these kids out
of these situations and get them into some help programs
and do the things that they have to do. But
you have to give them some support because none of
them really grew.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Up like that.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
They only grew up with a mama. Me and Jeff
grew up with a daddy. See, our daddy was a
big partner life. Most of the people didn't grow up
with the pops like that. So we got to understand that.
And most of my guys who I did, didn't grow
up with dad.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
He's like that.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
They grow up mamas where they can go on the
streets and do whatever they wanted to do any time
of their life. And my daddy was there to take
take responsibilities for him. So we have to understand that.
So we got to give them that support, got to
get into it.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
I definitely want to ask you to uh Sean Kent
from our state. He's Indiana, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Our court Indiana, Indiana.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Yeah for sure, right man, you know, I know all
of us want to ask you, man, how was that?
Playing with him?
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Man? Like that was crazy? Crazy? What turn this out?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Listen, man, let me let me tell you all about that.
Everybody talk about this Live City.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
No no disrespect to uh CP and them and all that.
We were the first ones with Love City. Me and
Sean was the first one to get it like that,
you know what I mean? With him for seven years
was amazing. Me and him are partners now in the
cannabis business and all that stuff I see shot on
a regular basis. Man, and playing with him and becoming
(32:11):
a friend with him is more important than that. That's
how a chemistry comes together, and that's how we did it.
And people just don't understand. I think, and I always
tell Shannas I said, if we wouldn't have got our
ego messed up, and his ego messed up. If he
would have stayed with me more years, he'll be a
Hall of Fame by now, you know what I'm saying,
(32:33):
because we'd have made a bigger dynasty.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Than what we did. We were one of the two
one of the greatest duos ever played with each other.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
And what I think, and I'm trying to get him
in the Hall of Fame now for what he's done
with me, you know what I'm saying. So I just
think I had a blessing to play with a person
with that much talent because I can just throw the
ball up to him and he would go get it anywhere.
But people don't understand how good he was with the
basketball and shooting in the Midchigan in the mid in
(33:04):
the mid range game, and it's back to the basket.
He was a beast, you know what I'm saying. And
so people didn't really understand that about how much freak
ability he had. Man, you feel what I'm saying. He
had a freak ability that nobody really really knew.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
That he had.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
But if you see it every time y'all watch the
highlights of all our games, he did some stuff that
was so incredible to me.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Man.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
I used to be like, Wow, you know I'm playing
with this this dude.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
We used to see the lobs doing Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
Yeah. I usually you always He's always telling me, Man,
give me a challenge today. Man, throw it somewhere where
I own. You don't think I'm gonna go get it?
And I was just throwing up there and He'll go
get it.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Was that instant chemistry though, it was.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
It was what happened was in eighty nine.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
I was in college and he was just coming out
right and Sonny's drafted him and they wanted the point guard.
And then Bernie Bickerstaff seen me and he said, I
think this is a kid that we're gonna get.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
So he started telling Sean to watch me, and Sean
I started watching me, and I was in college.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
They hit me in every now and then, and then
they they didn't have a chance to get me at all,
you know what I'm saying. And then all of a
sudden they food around and didn't make the playoffs and
then got lottery and.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Their balls was a chance of what Dallas was this year.
They get the cool flags.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Their chances with twelve percent to get the number two
pick or the number one pick, and they food.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Around and got the number two picks.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
Wow, you asked, and I knew I wasn't gonna go
no lord and one or two and New Jersey wanted me,
but they wanted a point guard and a big man,
and Derrick Coleman was coming out, and then Kenny andershonw
was gonna come out next year. So I went and
told him, don't draft me. You can get Kenny the
next year. So I wanted to go to Seattle. So
(34:56):
they drafted Derrick Coleman and then I went.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
I went number two to Seattle.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Yeah, so he was a part of the boys ship early.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, that.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Ain't real, bro, Ain't no way Dallas get that big.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
It happens, man, hey.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Man, they crucified my boy and man man because he
he traded Luca Man. But you know, a sudden, the
batn't even worse when all the mamas got all them
injuries and all of a sudden, big back bank. No know,
I went into one of them all crazy man, pay
(35:37):
ten dollars and got a lottery. What I do I
get hit for the bill.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Got the boy boy boy man. Listen, that's one of
my favorite NBA moments. Man that they showing that Dravrom. Yes,
I'm like they cheating.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Man, ain't no way supposed to have, no way it's
supposed to happen.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
I knew he was going to a whack team, was
a team that was going to be losing, And all
of a sudden, I said, Man, you hit the lot
at the lottery and hit the lot.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
And then those teams are at the bottom of the lottery.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
He their chances were z it's.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Not fair that zero Dallas to get that pick and
they went to the finals. Last year.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
That was they was in the finals. They lost the
Boston You feel what I'm saying. But you know what
I feel for my boy j Kidd as a head coach,
I love it. And then I feel for Nico Man.
Nico was my rep at Nike. That's like a little
brother than me.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Man.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
He always looked up to me like that. So I
feel for him because what he took. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (36:48):
People don't understand. He's the president general manager. He can't
make them calls on his own. Owner has to make
that call. He can't just say I'll make the call
because he's gonna get he's going to get fired. So
all you fans out there messing out of him like that,
get up out of here with that. It wasn't his call,
man to make that decision. He made a decision on
(37:10):
what he was told to do or what it was
it was supposed to be done, and that's what they did.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
So I'm happy for him. What's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
You get Kyrie back after this injury, man, which he'll
probably come back in January or something like that, and
they'll be rolling.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
They'll make it up there, make a thing ad come back.
Speaker 7 (37:27):
What it is, Get all the guys get healthy, because
if they whole team get healthy, it's gonna be a beast.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
That it's gonna be a beast.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Speaking of the finals, and we all watched the last dance,
I want to ask you on this show, how did
they feel knowing you going to the finals against Michael Jordan.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
In ninety six? That was great man. You remember I
got on I got on the cover of Sports illustrating
and saying mission impossible. I just want the defensive Player
of the year, first point guard they ever do it,
and it was just something but people didn't know I
got hurt. I tore my calf muscle, and I really
would and couldn't move. What I did was I went
(38:06):
in there, and they found a solution. They found a
little miracle, miracle thing to do. They got my leg better.
I wrapped it up a little bit, and then all
of a sudden, you know, it's a miracle, you know.
So then I started playing and I started feeling better
and better and better. Then we got down too much
and then I just start saying, let me guard it.
And he was averaging thirty three at the time, and
(38:28):
then I started making it a pest for him. I
started making it a pets for him, and then I
broke it down to twenty three. And then what coaches do?
They knew I started becoming a problem, so they had
to make to solve the problem.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (38:43):
You solve the problem? So Jordan was taking it personal
with me, which I wanted to happen.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
And then you know, Phil Jackson said, nah, let me
put somebody bigger on him and distract him and make
it a problem for him, and he put Pipping on me.
And Pipping is a bigger player than me. He was
six seven, he could be he's mobile. He was there
and it was taking a toll on me. It took
a real toll on me to try to score and
guard Jordan at the same time.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
And it took a toll on me.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
And then by the time the sixth game came, we
had broke it down the three to two. That sixth
game came on, I got a little fatigue, you know
what I'm saying, and they took us out. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
It is what it is. It just took us out
of the game.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
But it was just good Buffy who fast to see that, Like,
that's a hell of a matchup, like to hold y'all
against one of the players that we called it go
Like you said, that situation, that just got.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
To be dope for you in that moment. It's like,
I'm here, you know what.
Speaker 7 (39:37):
It was easy for me because of my mindset. I
thought it was always I wanted to play against all
the time. You remember, they were seventy two and ten,
we were sixty four and eighteen. Y'all forgot that we
were the number two team in the league at the time,
and we beat him. We beat him out of that
one tent out of that ten. So it was like
(39:57):
I just wanted the competition. I just wanted to play
the beast. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
I don't straight away from nobody.
Speaker 7 (40:04):
Man. When I was played, my daddy always showed me, Man,

lot of people who grow up in Hollywood grow up
with for an they don't always end up the same
as adults, right, But for you to navigate to be
who you are, that's though.

Growing up with all that type of notoriety and it's
still having to be a regular person.

definitely having my mom in my quarter that played a
big role. Yeah you know what I'm saying, and to
my career and only that, but just for me, just
the basics on what you said. For me, I always
studied the ones who came up for me who fucked up.

(00:44):
to do because if I slip down that hole, that's
what that's gonna be me.

reflect that it's hard for me to make a female

Speaker 7 (20:01):
Best point Guard? Mess up John Stockton by far. He
was just a little bit more crafty. Everybody thought he
was dirty, but we was just stupid. We just didn't
know how to plane. It took me six years of
figuring him out. And then when I figured him out,
when we beat him in the Western Conference finals.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
I figured him out.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
I figured out I can't keep doing the same thing
I do with him and try to overmatch him. I
gotta play the same way he played, and I gotta
just every time I pound him, he'll fall and take
a charge. Then I started saying, no, I know he
gonna hit. He gonna think I'm hit him twice, but
I'm gonna hit him one time, and the I'm gonna
step off, and then he shoots a jumper in his
face and do everything and then face him up and
(20:40):
go around him.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
He couldn't deal with.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Me that day.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
And then when I figured him out, it was a
little bit different. And then, you know, like everybody know today,
I idolized him a lot. You know what I'm saying.
He's like one of my best friends, and you know,
and it was just I really love playing against players
like that, you know what I'm saying, Because you got
me more of an IQ of the game, and John
(21:05):
Stock and Jim Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Rod Stricklandkie Blaylock, people
like that. I wanted to play against men, you know
what I'm saying, because they gave me more game and
maybe more of a better basketball player.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
We got to talk about Oakland, like we said, you
know what I'm saying, it's a lot of talented point
guards come out of Oakland.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Obviously y'all had a conversation recently on another podcast, and
y'all was talking about top guards in Oakland, and we
brung up Dame Lillard, Jason Kidd and you and I
went with Dane, that's my that's my class. That's the
guys I grew up playing against. I think Simba said
simber Symbol might have he said he everybody else says you,
(21:58):
and I've seen what you said your response. I love
for you to elaborate a little more response.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
It made sense to me.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
I see the og ship.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yah, but you where you really start because obviously, yeah, dang,
my guy. You know, Dame, that's our guy. But when
you start breaking down, like hold on, I averaged twenty points.
The simple it was over there said like, yeah, because
people forget.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Any highest what you're said. People forgot how I score.
People think about my defense. Yeah, y'all got to understand, man,
I was scoring like for eight traight years, I was
scoring over twenty points a game, you know what I'm saying,
And then I was getting down, locking down people and
then averaging eight assist in three steals.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Gotta understand that that that's that's where the game goes.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
And people don't understand I scored over like twenty one
thousand point People forget that.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, overscore. They they overlooked that.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
But what I say is about my two youngsters, right, Jay,
I raised him. You know what I'm saying, y'all gotta understand.
Jay didn't start scoring into the years of his career, right.
So if we break it down, Jay is a better
PASSWORD than me. You feel what I'm saying. Defender he's not.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
You know what I'm saying. Scor he is not. But
he's a great IQ guy. You know what I'm saying.
Dame is my youngster. You know what I'm saying. We
can't put Dame in that.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
Situation right now because he's not fulfilled all the things
that he's done. But he's made his mark on the
NBA as a shooting and scoring and Dame is a
little bit different to point guard than us, you know
what I'm saying, because his error came a little different.
It's about scoring here now, it's not about passing the
ball getting the other people into the game. Jason was
(23:38):
a better rebounder than both of us, you know what
I'm saying, So it's a little bit different than what
we do. Dame didn't steal the ball like we stole
the ball, so it's a little different than what we're
talking about. Eras it's an era thing.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
I get everybody has their.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
Opinion about a lot of stuff. But I just say
where front from Oakland, you know what I'm saying. And
she agreed. We breathe that, and thats just the way
we're different.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I'm the o G.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
You know what I'm saying. So we did a little different.
You guys didn't watch me as much, but you just
know who I am.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You know what I'm saying. Y'all watch me as much.
Now you are. It'll be like that. But it was
like you.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Is like.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
I played.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I played against hy and I understand that.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
I always tell people it's about an era what y'all did.
That's why I don't like people to ask me about
a goat, because a goat ain't gonna work for me
because y'all didn't play at the same time as each other.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
So I can't tell you about a goat. You know
what I'm saying. All of us was good.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
You feel what I'm saying, So you just think about stats.
That's why people go with a goat. They think about stats.
They say, oh, you want this, mean you want that?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Man?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
But did he play against him? Did he get down
at him like that?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Now?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
They didn't.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Then too many plagugainst Larry Byrd, one of the coldest
little motherfuckers I ever seen him on what you're talking about?
You know what I'm just saying. Man, You know we
didn't play against Wilt Chamblin and Kareem or Dul Jabbar
who couldn't stop a skyhook, and and and Will Chamblin.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Everybody bringing Will Chamblin's records. Feel me.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
They bringing all these records and they talk about, well
he was in the seas or whatever, Well he was
twenty two twenty one. Silva's the same. You know what
I'm saying, So we don't do goats here, man, I
don't you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I don't do goats.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
So, but what the point guard thing in Oakland, them
three was pretty good. We were us three was pretty
damn play basketball, and we and two of us is
in the Hall of Fame in top seventy five. Dame
is already on the top seven five. He's gonna be
in the Hall of Fame. We're doing the thing.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
You know, Dame might be might score more points in
both of us, but it is what it is, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
And I think when they go to New York and
say that stuff about the point gods, you know, we
got the point gods over here and this West.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
It's another. It's a trio like that. L A l
A got some point going top seventy five.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
But I'm saying, if the two made the top seventy five,
b d is is my youngster, which if he would
have got hurt, he would have been you know what
I'm saying. But if we all three, if we played
them three and have been about yes, don't understand understand
though Paul Pierce is from Oakland, California, too, he was
(26:43):
born in Oaklen, California, So we got another top.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Yeah, Paul, where's that?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You know?
Speaker 7 (26:52):
Paul Piers and grew up around around the corner from me.
I grew up with his brother and now he was
moly when he was eleven the pall Now, yeah, I
tell you at him like he ain't no l a boy.
He grew up.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Eleven.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
So let me let me break it down. That's the
way the game go, you feel. So, yeah, So we
got a lot of top seventy five.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
So you was who like showed you the way coming
up in Oakland, Like who put the ball in your hands?
Speaker 7 (27:31):
My daddy really real, you guys, my daddy coach everybody.
We're talking a everybody. Every one of these guys, y'all.
Y'all were talking about my daddy coaching and touched hands
on So they brought me into that. I really I
really idolized George Gervin, who is my stepdad now like
my step pops to.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Now, but that's coming up in the hood, and OK,
my daddy.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Was the one who put hands on me and touched me,
you know, and he touched a lot of them me
coach Jay. You know, Dame came a little too later
because he was in the later, but he played against
my daddy and my daddy's teens and stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
But that was it.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
You gotta understand.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
We had b Shaw, Yeah, Antonio Davis there, Greg Falls,
we had all them. Cliff Robinson at the player y'all forgot.
Bill Russell was from Oakland. Paul Solis is from Oakland.
He didn'et have a lot of basketball.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
You know that, don't part about that. This that's Pops. Yeah,
in the city.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Bro, everybody heard heard about his dad a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
He reminds me of my dad a lot. Your dad
reminds me of my dad a lot. And my dad
did the same thing. So but you know, it wasn't
just about basketball, my pops.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
My pops, you score around the schools and DC dudes
shooting dice over there, say, oh go there go my
Daddy's they they're gon.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Miss Page's white white escalator.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
Well whatever, whatever, man, Let's jump over the fence and
get up body here, man, because he's gonna get at us.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
You know what I'm saying. My daddy put life in
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Man.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
He told him how to cook, told him how to
do every other things.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
And that's what I thought about why I went into
coaching now while I coach you young guys now, because
I want to make them men. Everybody ain't gonna make
it in basketball or profession. They got to understand that
their lives is been more and more than sports. Their
life is everything because they're gonna be a parent at
one time too, and you've got to graide somebody. And
(29:36):
that's what I always tell them, And that's what that's
why I got into coaching, because I want to tell
them that and understand that you can't always be.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Who you want to be, but you can be who
you want to be a different work in a different aspect.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
You could be a lawyer, doctor or whatever and make
an impact on anybody's life.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
And we got to understand that.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
Yeah, and that's what I will tell you as well.
Big him up. He coaches the alma mater, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So the impact you have on them kids, not even
from a basketball standpoint, just show like you can be
something in life where you can move like you can
have these morals and be successful other avenues. Is very
important because we don't got that much representation our community.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
Absolutely, and that's what we got to always be big
on when my daddy gave it to me, but then
God told him to pass it on to me and
keep it going, you know what I'm saying, because we
got to catch these young kids because his mental health
stuff is really killing us right now.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
They don't know how to respond to people and say, Yo,
I know you helping me. Let me let you help me.
Let me tell you about my situation.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Because I can get a lot of these kids out
of these situations and get them into some help programs
and do the things that they have to do. But
you have to give them some support because none of
them really grew.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Up like that.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
They only grew up with a mama. Me and Jeff
grew up with a daddy. See, our daddy was a
big partner life. Most of the people didn't grow up
with the pops like that. So we got to understand that.
And most of my guys who I did, didn't grow
up with dad.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
He's like that.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
They grow up mamas where they can go on the
streets and do whatever they wanted to do any time
of their life. And my daddy was there to take
take responsibilities for him. So we have to understand that.
So we got to give them that support, got to
get into it.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
I definitely want to ask you to uh Sean Kent
from our state. He's Indiana, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Our court Indiana, Indiana.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Yeah for sure, right man, you know, I know all
of us want to ask you, man, how was that?
Playing with him?
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Man? Like that was crazy? Crazy? What turn this out?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Listen, man, let me let me tell you all about that.
Everybody talk about this Live City.
Speaker 7 (31:49):
No no disrespect to uh CP and them and all that.
We were the first ones with Love City. Me and
Sean was the first one to get it like that,
you know what I mean? With him for seven years
was amazing. Me and him are partners now in the
cannabis business and all that stuff I see shot on
a regular basis. Man, and playing with him and becoming
(32:11):
a friend with him is more important than that. That's
how a chemistry comes together, and that's how we did it.
And people just don't understand. I think, and I always
tell Shannas I said, if we wouldn't have got our
ego messed up, and his ego messed up. If he
would have stayed with me more years, he'll be a
Hall of Fame by now, you know what I'm saying,
(32:33):
because we'd have made a bigger dynasty.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Than what we did. We were one of the two
one of the greatest duos ever played with each other.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
And what I think, and I'm trying to get him
in the Hall of Fame now for what he's done
with me, you know what I'm saying. So I just
think I had a blessing to play with a person
with that much talent because I can just throw the
ball up to him and he would go get it anywhere.
But people don't understand how good he was with the
basketball and shooting in the Midchigan in the mid in
(33:04):
the mid range game, and it's back to the basket.
He was a beast, you know what I'm saying. And
so people didn't really understand that about how much freak
ability he had. Man, you feel what I'm saying. He
had a freak ability that nobody really really knew.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
That he had.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
But if you see it every time y'all watch the
highlights of all our games, he did some stuff that
was so incredible to me.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Man.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
I used to be like, Wow, you know I'm playing
with this this dude.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
We used to see the lobs doing Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
Yeah. I usually you always He's always telling me, Man,
give me a challenge today. Man, throw it somewhere where
I own. You don't think I'm gonna go get it?
And I was just throwing up there and He'll go
get it.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Was that instant chemistry though, it was.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
It was what happened was in eighty nine.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
I was in college and he was just coming out
right and Sonny's drafted him and they wanted the point guard.
And then Bernie Bickerstaff seen me and he said, I
think this is a kid that we're gonna get.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
So he started telling Sean to watch me, and Sean
I started watching me, and I was in college.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
They hit me in every now and then, and then
they they didn't have a chance to get me at all,
you know what I'm saying. And then all of a
sudden they food around and didn't make the playoffs and
then got lottery and.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Their balls was a chance of what Dallas was this year.
They get the cool flags.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Their chances with twelve percent to get the number two
pick or the number one pick, and they food.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Around and got the number two picks.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
Wow, you asked, and I knew I wasn't gonna go
no lord and one or two and New Jersey wanted me,
but they wanted a point guard and a big man,
and Derrick Coleman was coming out, and then Kenny andershonw
was gonna come out next year. So I went and
told him, don't draft me. You can get Kenny the
next year. So I wanted to go to Seattle. So
(34:56):
they drafted Derrick Coleman and then I went.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
I went number two to Seattle.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
Yeah, so he was a part of the boys ship early.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, that.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Ain't real, bro, Ain't no way Dallas get that big.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
It happens, man, hey.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
Man, they crucified my boy and man man because he
he traded Luca Man. But you know, a sudden, the
batn't even worse when all the mamas got all them
injuries and all of a sudden, big back bank. No know,
I went into one of them all crazy man, pay
(35:37):
ten dollars and got a lottery. What I do I
get hit for the bill.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Got the boy boy boy man. Listen, that's one of
my favorite NBA moments. Man that they showing that Dravrom. Yes,
I'm like they cheating.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Man, ain't no way supposed to have, no way it's
supposed to happen.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
I knew he was going to a whack team, was
a team that was going to be losing, And all
of a sudden, I said, Man, you hit the lot
at the lottery and hit the lot.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
And then those teams are at the bottom of the lottery.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
He their chances were z it's.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Not fair that zero Dallas to get that pick and
they went to the finals. Last year.
Speaker 7 (36:25):
That was they was in the finals. They lost the
Boston You feel what I'm saying. But you know what
I feel for my boy j Kidd as a head coach,
I love it. And then I feel for Nico Man.
Nico was my rep at Nike. That's like a little
brother than me.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Man.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
He always looked up to me like that. So I
feel for him because what he took. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (36:48):
People don't understand. He's the president general manager. He can't
make them calls on his own. Owner has to make
that call. He can't just say I'll make the call
because he's gonna get he's going to get fired. So
all you fans out there messing out of him like that,
get up out of here with that. It wasn't his call,
man to make that decision. He made a decision on
(37:10):
what he was told to do or what it was
it was supposed to be done, and that's what they did.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
So I'm happy for him. What's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
You get Kyrie back after this injury, man, which he'll
probably come back in January or something like that, and
they'll be rolling.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
They'll make it up there, make a thing ad come back.
Speaker 7 (37:27):
What it is, Get all the guys get healthy, because
if they whole team get healthy, it's gonna be a beast.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
That it's gonna be a beast.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Speaking of the finals, and we all watched the last dance,
I want to ask you on this show, how did
they feel knowing you going to the finals against Michael Jordan.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
In ninety six? That was great man. You remember I
got on I got on the cover of Sports illustrating
and saying mission impossible. I just want the defensive Player
of the year, first point guard they ever do it,
and it was just something but people didn't know I
got hurt. I tore my calf muscle, and I really
would and couldn't move. What I did was I went
(38:06):
in there, and they found a solution. They found a
little miracle, miracle thing to do. They got my leg better.
I wrapped it up a little bit, and then all
of a sudden, you know, it's a miracle, you know.
So then I started playing and I started feeling better
and better and better. Then we got down too much
and then I just start saying, let me guard it.
And he was averaging thirty three at the time, and
(38:28):
then I started making it a pest for him. I
started making it a pets for him, and then I
broke it down to twenty three. And then what coaches do?
They knew I started becoming a problem, so they had
to make to solve the problem.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (38:43):
You solve the problem? So Jordan was taking it personal
with me, which I wanted to happen.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
And then you know, Phil Jackson said, nah, let me
put somebody bigger on him and distract him and make
it a problem for him, and he put Pipping on me.
And Pipping is a bigger player than me. He was
six seven, he could be he's mobile. He was there
and it was taking a toll on me. It took
a real toll on me to try to score and
guard Jordan at the same time.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
And it took a toll on me.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
And then by the time the sixth game came, we
had broke it down the three to two. That sixth
game came on, I got a little fatigue, you know
what I'm saying, and they took us out. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (39:22):

of the game.

Speaker 5 (39:32):

I'm here, you know what.
Speaker 7 (39:37):
It was easy for me because of my mindset. I
thought it was always I wanted to play against all
the time. You remember, they were seventy two and ten,
we were sixty four and eighteen. Y'all forgot that we
were the number two team in the league at the time,
and we beat him. We beat him out of that
one tent out of that ten. So it was like
(39:57):
I just wanted the competition. I just wanted to play
the beast. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (40:02):

Speaker 7 (40:04):

if your leg ain't broken in off, get on the
floor and get it.
Speaker 4 (40:10):

And he was always the one to take the competitive
to me.

unless because it's his it's his documentary.

That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating.

Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
