that you absolutely feel me and you know that I appreciate you, I appreciate you brother and, honestly, it's a beautiful thing. above all this is that now you are part of that legacy, you know, and the journey, the most beautiful thing about this is the journey, you know, like holding the trophy like I didn't hold the trophy on stage once like I didn't even I wouldn't even have done it. You want to get close to it because it's the journey that you appreciate, it's the people that you go through this with, that's why you appreciate it.

I know that's the beauty in this, it's like you go through people that you go through this with, with the people the ones you've been in the trenches with over and over and over again and that's the beauty and this is why you do this and so on for For me, what I've enjoyed most about each championship outside of the first was seeing the guys who They win it for the first time because that

reaction

is almost like the innocence of a child like that, he doesn't know what it feels like and So for me that's what makes me most happy to see you win a championship, to see Jordan Poole win a championship, seeing Otto Who, a guy who signed a $100 million contract when it was almost impossible to get a $100 million contract and then leave. through injuries, watching him get a championship, uh, belly, you know who has the belly. 33 years old didn't come to the NBA until I think he was 27 or something, seeing the belly get a chance, that's the beauty in it and then you I know I want to congratulate you, you've earned your key, you belong here and you've done it. proven to be the 15th man on the roster and become a vital part of that roster, it's unheard of, it doesn't happen, you play.

In a preseason game because of an injury, you're going through the preseason and you can't go out and you know what's at stake and you need to make this team what's on your mind during that preseason and just try to rehab. an injury um I'm just trying to get ready as quickly as you know, a quicker way that I can be ready, keep my mind straight and you know, you just know you know you're working to know that moment in a moment that could change, you know your career, your life. and they said I would have that moment about, you know, keep working, stay the course and you know, keep doing my rehab, so I just kept it, they stay ready, basically, uh, I kept my rehab and you know, when that moment was ready , where they left me.

I left, I had to leave and you know for sure for prompting them to make that decision, you know, and keeping me as such an incredible thing. Like I said, you only played one game and you beat Avery Bradley, who at that point is like You need a wing defender and you beat Avery Bradley, who has been an incredible defender in this league for a long time and I thought he was absolutely incredible. I have a phone and this is what I might be thinking and you might think the opposite. You can tell me if you think I'm wrong or what you think it is, but I was talking to a young man a couple of weeks ago and he finished the season with an organization and went back to training wherever he wanted to be.

Does it work in the summer Do you see any significance in a guy who is in your position or a similar position to yours staying with that team for the entire summer that he ended up with and training with that team and being around those coaches and of those young people? Guys, do you see the benefit in that, instead of just being okay? I'm done with this team. I'm going to go back to Los Angeles and train. I'm going to go to Las Vegas and train. I'm going to go to Miami and train. What's the importance of staying with that team and training with them and following their offseason regimen, yeah, that was probably the biggest decision I made because all the other times I got cut I came home, that's what I did, I went back to Las Vegas and I went back to the gym and all that, but with this team and what I felt when my first 10 days, you know, and going into the offseason, this is the group, this is the formula, you for me , like it could be, you know, a big contribution to helping you know that everything is better than it was, so I made that decision when I got cut.

The reason I asked to be in the video room is to be close to all of you as if I were still practicing. I still

show

them that they know Bob and. everyone you know I can still play, I can't, I can play in this league, so that was my mindset, you know, asking for that job and when I decided to stay here all summer regardless, I said, I said to myself, I said no. I'm not going anywhere, like I'm going to

show

them that I can play basketball the right way and that I can work the system, which was my way of thinking and I wasn't going to let anyone or anything you know tell me, otherwise On the contrary, it's incredible brother and before we leave here your dad is no longer the only one in the house with a ring what do you have to tell the og I have it I have it I think I have it before you feel me yes and and I and I I am one for 100, you can't say anything about 100, that's 100, so if you want to talk to me, you know where I live, oh ggg, hey, shout out to Trey, oh geez, I'm so happy for him, for Tom Champ, I could.

I wouldn't have done it without this man. He guided us throughout the year. He has had so much on his shoulders and has done so much for us. He has done a lot for us and for his organization. I can't do anything but thank you brother and congratulations professional champion and you already know that you are a legend, I appreciate it, my brother, thank you for coming to this, yes, sir, thank you for inviting me. We're going to have to do a whole episode and really dig into your background and how. You grew up and the things I want to talk about the struggles of going.

I grew up with a father in the NBA. You know, I think you know. What people don't realize is as beautiful as that. and as dumb as it is, you're not home, you know you're on the road and he's not home, I'm not home all the time and you move your mom and how she held it down, so let's get on everything man has to bring you to the show, you absolutely already know, thanks dog, congratulations, I appreciate your brother, what's up with young gloves, my dog, man, um, I'm exhausted, to say the least, um our audience here is starting to dwindle. but my beautiful wife hazel is still sitting there and it's absolutely amazing to be on this journey with you my love, my dog ​​is still sitting there, converse sports marketing director and then my crazy bullfighting brother harris who showed me the way what we have. jackson behind the camera we have favorites here favorites is the man behind the

draymond

instagram program that gives you all the content and then we have me, yours truly, the new media, the champion photons, I tell you what I tell you both times What a man I have a lot of respect for that group over there, led by Ime Udoka, an incredible coach, and it's ironic to go up against him.

I think back to one of my tweets, during their series against Milwaukee and Eme, they had just won the game. six on the way and I was watching the sports center and they showed this characteristic in the buttonhole, just buttonholes he was a great champion coach, the coach does not take anything away from him, but they showed him this characteristic after they had just lost and then they showed how jb speaking jason tatum speaking like the grommets were speaking and they didn't show you udoka speaking and then I and when I say speaking I mean his press conference, I give you quotes and I tweeted, I said can he do? press? conferences because in some situations people don't like to talk and they know they get older, they hand it to the assistant, maybe the assistant coach doesn't talk, so I said, do you send an email to udoka?

Do you hold press conferences? because I find that disconcerting. there's a feature about the losing coach, then there's words from the losing coach, but nothing from the winning coach, like he didn't make any adjustments to go on the road and win game six and I thought it was weird and I didn't like it. that and that's why I tweeted it because this is a very different team than the one they've had here so what's the difference? The difference is a coach came in and required something different, he took advantage of something different when everyone said jaylen brown and jason tatum can.

We didn't play together and they were stupid for signing Marcus Smart to a max deal and they were stupid for bringing back our Harford and all that stuff and you have to give Brad Stevens credit for some of those moves he made, but what changed was the email that Udoka arrived and needed something different from those guys. He needed JT to play defense. He needed JT to move the ball and averaged seven or eight assists in this series. I needed JB to take the next step. I needed Robert Williams to take the next step. takes the next step, it takes intelligence to go back to his days at Oklahoma State and be the point guards that this team needed aaron miles who's on that bench uh who was with us last year that's the difference the difference is those guys that came and damon steidemayer Will Cherry, they commanded a different kind of respect and you have to give them a lot of credit.

That team isn't going anywhere. That team will return. You better believe the team will be back. Give Robert Williams a lot of credit. Most guys, especially this day. and the age most of the guys who sat on that knee hurt their knee most of the guys don't continue fighting so we're in the finals I'm banged up I got my money I know what no one would have complained if robert williams had decided not to participate he was not a game changer in this this whole series caused attacks I have to give a lot of credit to that young man with his entire future ahead of him, his entire future ahead of him, he left it all out there on the line, you respect guys like, there's so many guys in this league that would never do that, you respect guys like that, the biggest respect to me, that's a group, that's a young group there, Grant Williams, who was in my face the whole time.

In the series we had our words back and forth. I respect that young man. They will be together and they would be crazy not to keep them together, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see this team at some point. In the near future, when we finish winning a championship, they got it, they're not weak, they're not soft, they got the scoring, they got the defense, they got the big ones, if there's one place they can improve, it's probably their depth. You know? If you watch this series, I feel like they ran out of gas and that was it for us.

We think they really only play seven guys. Sometimes there are only six. Let's keep running. These guys maintain a body. Against these guys, let's try to wear them down, but what happens is the championship teams have their guys and then they fill up with big minimums and when you're a big team like that, you start getting big minimums and then come in next year your bench goes down. go totally different, you can trust that bench and those are some of the things I think we'll see from them and I don't think this will be our last time here from Boston.

Celtics are a great group, they have a great young core and they will continue to improve before we get out of here because I have to join this party, let's talk about some of these naysayers before this series started. I watched espn power. indices some gave us a 20 chance of winning why who does those things how is their job security because you're lying to people so someone is responsible these days someone is responsible these days I even saw it was like two to two and it's like 79 possibilities 21 are you crazy? You know who you're dealing with, we're the ones who have to count ourselves like that, it's just crazy to me, where do they get these numbers from? do they come from the people who Sit there and I don't know what they're talking about, that's how they have to calculate me because those numbers just don't make sense to me, they didn't make sense and they most certainly don't make sense now, Nick Wright . he comes out and says uh, steph curry, that's it, he's never going to see the finals again and

andre

w Wiggins, three years, $95 million left on his deal, why would they make the worst trade and blah, blah, blah, I hope you are willing to move on? that word bro, stand there and tell us why you thought that, tell us why you thought that, tell us why this whole series that you've been talking about and happening and then all of a sudden you want to switch to dubs, tell us why, because what is . the issue is your knowledge of basketball, some of these stupid statements you are making, that's why I talk about new media, for those of you who don't know what new media is, let me explain what new media is.

New media is not athletes making media, we have been making a lot of them turn into raccoons and start acting like old media once they become media, but let me explain to you what new media is. New media is a stand on your word we don't apologize for our word we don't turn around and walk away you keep your word good bad or indifferent we stick to it b we're not trying to create controversy I'm not trying to align myself with a guy or two , so I can fill some television spots daily and create controversy. Basketball is a beautiful game if you know that the game of basketball will give you enough to talk about the problem.

All these people talk about basketball and don't know basketball? and then what do you do? You pursue controversy, new media, we don't do that,that's why you see jj reddick flourishing, that's why you see cj mccullum flourishing, that's why you see me thriving, so let's not do that, let's just talk about the game. that we know and we agree to teach that's what these ads are about about how the game is taught how the game is taught to the fans these people who think they know the game of basketball but they really don't know how jj reddit gets there and teaches the game, That's the new media, we give out flowers when the flowers are due, we don't have to try to groom a guy for a week to knock 'em down next week, so I got something to talk about, that's the new media, respect, integrity, respect . and integrity at work about work.

I remember the days when you wouldn't go on a TV show and cheer for another team, you would go and give analysis. No one is going to curse who you cheer for, you have fools like Kendrick Perkins, come dressed like a clown, come here in a jailhouse suit. and then you quit the game early tonight, keep your word bro, you gotta stick to that, one thing's for sure, I'm defending my full time champion, I'm out
