Like two three days later like bro what was you talking about and I’m like well okay this is what the scenario is we um like that whole stuff with Kyrie broke out and like Kyrie not not the one of that but we I I don’t remember exactly how it was

But we knew that we going to upgrade our talent and and change what what what we had and PG was like but I ain’t never really like like I competed against I a never really spoke to Bron I like y’all would be perfect like Bron’s a great

Dude you good people like people didn’t know the type of person that PG is and we all in this room know that like that’s a dope human being so like they would work well together I was like bro honestly and truthfully there’s some things that you could learn from Braun

Like just cuz you’re you’re one of them ones but like you you climbing you still got stuff to clim climb and getting you to the finals I was I was I was selling like Sho sales like all this stuff is going to increase like y now he he was

Selling like a he was selling Cleveland likeo you don’t all the he was talking about if you don’t know Cleveland is actually dope Indie right and it’s just like you got two dope human beings and you want to connect them it’s like if you got a A

Dope home girl and a dope homeboy you like yo y’all got it they got to work together and I was like y’all both super dope human beings y’all got to play together you have no choice that would be crazy and and and it the deal almost

Went down like I didn’t I didn’t know how serious it was or I didn’t know that it could actually you know come to life but after the meeting we went to his crib we chopped it up he like man I’mma like he sold it to me Bri sold it to me

Like man I’mma we gonna try to make it happen like yeah you almost play with him twice buy at the end of the day like I’m 24 25 years old like I’m still a fan of braon likeall lover I’m still a fan of like of Braun like you know what I mean the

Regardless of the battles we’ve had like I still look at him like looking at it like a fan of you and honestly and Tru he’s a fan Bri was a fan of PG too and like they don’t know it and it’s like ding dong like R I’m coming over ding

Dong it’s me and PG let’s go have some lunch in the backyard yeah and we just chopped it up and then you get to see two people like on the same trajectory of like greatness we don’t we don’t get that much as basketball players like two having lunch aside from that that that

Meeting alone you know Braun Chef britwood after that I need I yeah good W walking a different lifestyle like yo Aon I need a chef dog you look up some my whole life changed after that bro I ain’t going to lie and even before like I I went to the house earlier

Bron’s playing like 2K on the couch like in the living room Bo I’m going get PG and grab him real fast all right whatever like give me give me some let’s get let’s get some of that good what’s the name and and and whatever we ate

That day and P look around that joint like yo it was it was in it you know it was it was I ain’t GNA give a location but I’m I’m in that that that same area because of of that did y’all play the 2K

That day n no we just had lunch and then uh you know we got up out the way but it was it was more so just to kind of cuz I you know I don’t I I knew him a little bit cuz you know background we went to

China together um my first tour with Nike was with bron bron Rudy Gay um some of the SB Nike guys skateboard Nike guys um and who else leanian tomson dope dope and Amari Amari star as well so it was a dope like for me to be a young guy

Getting introduced to like the guys and Bri was was the big homie taking me showing me around um so I I got to know him on a on a on a more of a personal level then but you know it was more of a personal level when I went to his crib

So it was it was a dope experience but but yeah I I mean a lot of a lot of stuff I do now definitely is implemented from him can can you share a little bit cuz I know Dante had his sales pitch to you but when you talked with LeBron can

You share a little bit more about exactly what LeBron was pitching you was it similar to what he was or was there any anything that you took from that conversation that maybe stuck out to you that you could share honestly I don’t to be honest I don’t remember much of the

Convo he wasn’t selling it wasn’t yeah it wasn’t I was selling I was the seller I say I don’t even think like are you coming or not I don’t even think he really talk basketball like that it was more so just like vibing like you know y

PE like what you like what you into like what like house summer house train like it was more on that level it wasn’t really like pitching like yo I think you’ll be great with us this is it was just more so like just connecting like you know as as boys I think the

Conversation but so P’s reservation was like does like is could it work and I was like n y’ personalities match like y both cool y both chill family oriented like so like you just got get in the same room and just likees does he even like want somebody like me I was like

Bro he wants to give information he wants to share more than you think he does like he he he’s himself but he doesn’t have he doesn’t he’s not worried about somebody overshadowing him like we can we can do this together he has that mindset so that’s I was just trying to

Put two people in the room together just to see like show them that they Vibe together because I know both both of them really well he wasn’t selling look the NBA season is in full swing and prize picks has you covered when it comes to helping you make some money
