Has the demographic changed in the NBA?
Like, did you notice that?
Still mostly black.
He's got chops, actually.
No, like, I remember when Kobe was, like, a rookie,
there was an understanding that he was a little bit of a pariah
because he grew up, like, upper-middle class, you know?
And, like, nowadays it seems like it's kind of like a very much
a middle-class, upper-middle-class league.
Is that fair?
Maybe.
There's a lot of, like, I mean, think about it.
There's a lot of guys that are former NBA players, like, sons.
Sons of NBA players.
It's like Hollywood.
Yeah.
It's like Nepos.
It's a lot of nepotism.
Yeah, yeah.
But does AAU cost a lot of money?
Is that right?
Not really, no.
And you get, like, you get free stuff.
They pay for travel.
They pay for, they give you shoes.
How much stuff did you get before you were in the league?
I don't think I bought a, I haven't bought a pair of basketball,
sorry, just a little bit of a brag.
I haven't bought a pair of basketball shoes since I was probably, like, 13.
I'm, I'm, I'll get you some.
That's not a good flex, dude.
What's the word?
Well, you were just asking about before, when you're, when you're having no
money.
I'm saying pre-NIL, pre-NIL.
Oh, you were just getting, like, free stuff.
Like, shoes and gear and stuff.
LeBron had an Escalade in high school.
Yeah, well, I wasn't LeBron.
Still not.
Why, you wouldn't?
Sorry about that.
No, it's fine.
He was your, was he your goat, growing up?
I loved LeBron, like, I mean, he got into the league, what, 04?
So I was like, I was in high school still.
Yeah.
He's still playing.
As a, it's insane.
I was in high school when he came in.
I went to college.
I played for 14 years.
I retired, and he's still playing.
Why can't we?
It's crazy.
Why are people, like, appreciating it more?
I think people are.
People constantly are talking about what he's doing at age 40.
People are talking about, and I think this is, like, segwaying back to you
being now in
NBA media, right?
But, like, it seems like it's gotten a little wacky this year.
Like, like, Stephen A is threatening to have, he's threatening to fight LeBron.
Like, it's, like, a little bit, like, can we just, he's 24, 8 and 8, and he's
40.
He's 22 years in the league.
What he's doing at age 40 is insane.
There's no reason for him to actually retire at this.
The problem is, I think the problem is, is that, like, when it's, like, a guy
that's
up for, like, the GOAT debate, it's, like, you really, like, you want him to,
like, contend
for championships every year.
The Lakers roster just wasn't, they weren't good enough.
They truly weren't good enough.
He's 40.
I know, but I'm just saying, like, the GOAT debate, that's the burden that he
has to carry.
They had three guys on the team.
They had, yeah.
Rui, I guess Rui, they had four.
Austin, Austin Reeves.
Yeah, little bro.
Little bro.
Little bro.
He's a hokey, or a Sooner.
Sooner.
You got annoyed when I asked you about Austin.
I was, like, do you, like, look out for him as a Sooners?
Uh, when we had to...
And you were, like, I don't know, he was a transfer, dude.
What am I supposed to fucking do, dude?
He was there for one year.
It's, like, you know, look out for yourself, dude.
I got a lot of shit to worry about.
Who is your baby bro?
Did you have baby bros?
Baby bruh?
In the league?
Uh, yeah, I got my young boys.
Who are you, like, who are you, who's the fan?
Do you, like, call them and stuff and say, like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, get your head right.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, lock in.
Lock in.
Yeah.
Type shit.
Yeah, type shit.
Lock in type shit.
Lock in type shit.
Keep killing type shit.
Stay healthy fam type shit.
Who are your baby boys?
My baby bros.
For life.
Um, you know, my young guys, like, Bruce Brown I played with in Detroit.
That's, like, that's my guy.
Peyton Pritchard, Grant Williams.
You know, it's, like, the guys, the young guys that you play with as an older
player.
Yeah.
You just become, like, you become, um, you become OG and stuff.
And then you see a little something in them.
Yeah, you see some.
Yeah, yeah.
And they've all, like, kind of thrived.
Yeah, I mean, mostly because of my, you know...
From what you told them.
Yeah.
What'd you tell them?
Like, you took them on a drive or something?
Yeah, I said, hey, get in.
Get in.
And we'd just, I would just go somewhere.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
What kind of car?
Like, a 57 Chevy?
Kind of, like, kind of like a distant dad?
Yeah.
Like, after the divorce, but you come back and you have a cool car.
So, people are like, Dads, it's awesome.
Like, the car that Denzel Washington drove in, um, uh, training day.
Mm-hmm.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And I would usually make them smoke PCP.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You'd make them get wet.
Uh-huh.
King Kong.
Yeah.
Shit on me.
Jake.
Yeah.
They're like, what are you doing?
That's good.
You're...
Thanks.
I've been working on impressions.
You should, you should watch season four of Eastbound to, like, get in the
mindset
of NBA, like, being a sports pundit media.
Season four of Eastbound and down?
Yeah.
Because that's when he joins the show, and then he, like, he gets his, he gets
his juice.
Yeah.
He gets his salt back.
Gets his juice back, yeah.
He gets, yeah, he gets his...
Type shit.
He gets his type shit.
Yeah.
