Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Oh, man, that's what you was doing.
You just wanted to go smoke weed with Joe and shit.
I couldn't keep up with Snoop.
Snoop just keeps going.
Man, Snoop, he got a fucking professional bud roller.
I think he's paying 40 grand a year or some shit.
Really?
I don't know how much, but I know it's a dude who's eight hours a day.
He just bringing Snoop like a hundred blunts in a bag.
Here you go, Snoop.
He's the one dude that's exempt anywhere he goes.
No one's going to fuck with Snoop with weed.
He smoked weed at the White House.
Did he really?
Yeah, he went in the bathroom and got down.
I said, oh, man, you know, I said, yeah, you know, he blaze anywhere, you know,
church, swimming pools.
He inside the pool blazing underwater.
He's got a card.
You can just let him slide.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He Snoop, you know, what you going to say?
What are you going to say?
What you going to say, man?
Everybody loves Snoop.
The same thing with Chappelle.
When we go out with Dave, Dave just fire up at a restaurant.
Hey, man, you know.
Got to let him know you in the house.
Nobody says anything.
Yeah, what they going to say.
I mean, who wants to be part of his next comedy special?
The person that told Dave Chappelle, you can't blaze in Ruth Chris.
No, it's like, you know, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Well, hey, man, thank you very much for being here.
I really appreciate it.
You want some coffee?
No, thanks for having me.
You know, I probably had too much coffee.
All right.
Yeah, today, you know, I mean, I probably had about two cups already, so I
should be cold
till this afternoon.
So I saw this video where you said you're doing just a podcast tour.
Yeah.
I'm going to hit everybody, you know.
Everybody that want to talk to me, you know what I'm saying?
I just want to be able to get the message out to the people, talk to the people.
You know, I've been trying to push my league, and mainstream sports media have
really, you
know, basically ignored what we're doing for the last six years.
I think they're nervous about the NBA.
They're nervous about their relationship with the NBA could be damaged if they
promote the
big three.
I would think it would help everybody.
Yeah, I mean, it's basketball in the summer.
You know, they got the WNBA, but we really don't play at the same time.
You know, they got the games.
We got our games.
And, you know, what's crazy is we got their, you know, former Hall of Famers as
a part of
this league, and they wanted to be a part of this league.
So, it's not like we hijacking them or we, you know, kidnapping them.
They want to be a part of this league.
They want it to be successful.
And they want to make money in the summer.
So, I don't know what the NBA is thinking about trying to deprive Dr. J and
Rick Berry
and Iceman, George Girvin, a little check in the summer.
Like, what's the problem?
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it would compete at all.
It seems like it would enhance.
It would make, it's, when you have more basketball for basketball, I mean,
basketball fans, they
have a season.
And when it's over, it's over.
Yeah.
The fact that there's more basketball seems to me, but I'm a person that's like,
I feel
like there's enough pie for everybody with everything.
I feel like that with fighting, with MMA.
When there's a new organization comes out, I'm like, good, good.
Give people more opportunity to make money.
Without a doubt, you know, and it's about who do it the best.
And we're not trying to compete in any way, shape, or form with the NBA.
We're very complimentary.
So, I don't understand why they would, you know, do some of the things that's
being done
behind the scenes.
Oh, they're like encouraging people to not do it?
Encouraging people to not sponsor us.
I mean, like.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, encouraging networks not to play us.
Really?
Yeah.
Those things, we've been able to survive, but, you know, at a certain point, it's
just
redundant and ridiculous, and we got to fight back some way, shape, or form.
It just, in my mind, it seems silly.
It seems like it only enhance.
But that's what happens when you get big corporations, man.
Yeah.
And you know what, Joe?
It's not the players.
It's not the owners.
It's not GMs or scouts, because they, you know, name a big owner.
He probably loves the league.
And we've heard from a lot of them that they love the league.
They would love to invest.
And the players love the league.
They come to the games.
They play in the league when they're done with the NBA.
GMs.
Scouts come sitting next to me on the front row and be like, oh, man, you know.
And they even pull some of our guys, put them in the G League.
A couple of our guys made it all the way back to the NBA, you know, 10-day
contracts, things like that.
So, it's not the culture of the NBA.
It's just the suits.
It's the corporate people.
You know what I mean?
It's the brass.
It's the top guys that are scared of what we got.
Just scared of competition in general, always.
Well, they think they own basketball.
They think, like, we own basketball.
Isn't that crazy?
But it's nuts.
It's fucking nuts.
Because I don't hear kids running out saying, Mom, I'm about to go play NBA.
Right.
No.
They say, Mom, I'm about to go play basketball with my friends.
Yeah.
So, basketball doesn't have an owner.
And they are, I think, intimidated that we have changed the game, you know.
And we haven't changed it just to change it.
We've changed it for the better.
And we've changed it within our own version of the sport.
So, we're not trying to change five-on-five.
We're just trying to introduce three-on-three and elevate it to the
professional level, which we have.
I only think that would be a good thing.
Those suits are silly.
It is a good thing, man.
They are silly.
That's why I'm here, man.
You know, it's like, it's time for these, you know, suits to get out the way.
And, you know, let the relationship flourish if it's going to flourish.
And even if it don't, look, we're doing fine.
We're in our sixth season.
Our ratings are growing.
You know, we did, you know, 500,000 people on CBS this Sunday.
That's awesome.
It's crazy.
Where did this idea come from?
Me and my guy, Jeff, you know, we've been working together for over 25 years.
Like, everything in the last 25 years, we've kind of been, you know, cooking it
up.
So, you know, we see Kobe score 60 points in his last game.
Now, this idea had been brewing in me, but it was like, you know, it's sports.
I'm an entertainment guy.
You know, I'm in rap.
I'm in the, you know, music and movies and television and that.
So, it had just been sitting there.
And this dude hit 60 points in his last game.
And then there's nowhere else you can see him play.
He's done.
Bye.
Wave, go in the tunnel.
And we're like, that sucks.
It sucks that we cannot ever see Kobe Bryant playing a professional basketball
game again.
There's got to be other guys that people want to see that still got it.
They may not be able to play 82 games.
You know what I mean?
They may not be able to play back-to-backs in three games in four nights.
But half-court, three-on-three to 50, they're going to look like all-stars.
And so, that's where the idea started to germinate.
That makes sense, too, that it's just the breakdown as you get older.
You just can't do as many games.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
I mean, they still can play.
Like, if you put them out there one game, give it all you got against the 20-year-olds,
they'll do great.
But if you have them play the next day, you know, they just can't recover.
As fast as the 20-year-olds.
Yeah.
So, they look like they can't play, you know, the next day.
So, by having a week off, you get to recover.
It's like football.
You know, you get a chance to let your body recover, heal.
So, by the time that next weekend come around, you're 100% ready, good to go.
Let's do it.
Especially with the way guys train today, where older guys can train today.
And, you know, with the science of sports nutrition and science of recovery.
They're just so much better at it now than they've ever been before.
We changed our mind.
We got rid of the seats.
We heard you was on Joe.
What can we do?
This is so stupid.
That's the thing with older fighters, too.
They have a hard time getting through camps.
It's like they can still fight, but getting through an eight-week camp is two-a-days
and all the sparring.
Yeah.
Too much.
Yeah.
I remember, I forgot the football player.
He played for the Giants receiver.
Plexico Burris.
Plexico Burris.
The coaches hated him because, well, I ain't going to say hated him.
You know, I'm just exaggerating, but they didn't like the fact that he would
not practice at all.
Come in the game on Sunday and score a touchdown.
It's like it goes against everything that they preach.
You have to practice.
You have to practice.
You have to practice.
Then you are conditioned to score the touchdown.
But he's like, no, I got to recover.
I got to recover.
I got to recover.
And then by Sunday, I can go out and score a touchdown.
And that goes against coaches' philosophy.
But he knew his own body.
Of course.
Yeah.
And, you know, we all know our own body to a certain extent.
Yeah.
You know, and I think you should always save an athlete from himself, but you
shouldn't push an athlete before he's ready to go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's always different for different people, too.
Yes.
Some people recover quicker.
It's just, you know, as athletes get older in particular, they get more and
more wise to that.
More and more wise to, like, how their body works and what they need to do and
not need to do.
Yeah.
You know, the, you know, I heard one player say that, man, they don't pay me to
play in the game.
Like, I'll do that for free.
70,000, 15,000 fans.
Who wouldn't do that for free?
They pay me to practice.
They pay me to show up on time.
They pay me to do all the stuff I don't want to do.
And, you know, that makes sense.
But sometimes you don't practice somebody just because you're paying them.
Yeah.
Well, the difference between, like, you can never do this with, when football
players are done, they're kind of done.
Because just the damage they take.
Some, you know, I think it depends on the style.
You know, I think you could do, you know, an interesting flag version of
football.
I think you could sell it if it was, you know, thought about and really worked
on to be, you know, pleasing to the fans.
How would you do that?
Like, what would make, because people love touchdowns, but they also love tackles.
They love people getting hit.
Yeah.
I mean, there's a few ways to do it.
You know, you could do pads, 7-on-7, and kind of, you know, open the game up a
little bit so it's not so many collisions coming from so many different angles.
Yeah.
Less people, more space, more skill set, not so brute, but a little bit of
hitting.
You could do it that way, too.
Yeah, that could work.
The flag one, I would think, would be kind of tough.
It's tough because people look at flag as kind of like a side, you know, a byproduct
of football, not real football.
Almost like football for kids.
Yeah.
But they, you know, but guys would go out and play two-hand touch all day, you
know.
Yeah.
So maybe that's it.
Hmm.
Who knows?
Well, it's interesting when fighters figure out ways to do that, too, like what
Floyd is doing.
What Floyd is doing is so interesting.
He retires from fighting and he says, I'll just start boxing people who have no
chance.
Hey, why not?
You know?
I mean, exhibition.
Like, we saw that in, what, what is it, Rocky III or something?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's like, yo, I mean, he's like, he started doing exhibitions with Hulk Hogan
and, you know.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
And got caught, I mean, got hurt, like, you know, dealing with that.
So, I mean, I think people want to see Floyd fight.
You know, some people want to see him lose.
You know, I never wanted to see Floyd lose.
And so he'll always have some interests, you k
