Attention you know what I’m saying you’ve always been one of my favorite guys your family your parents all that so thank you my brother appreciate the van everything come on now you still got that van yes sir yes sir it’s a parking museum for the people at home can you explain the

Van so every year of my life you know I’ve won a lot of championships from peeee middle school state championships and high school yes sir so that’s what he does every Championship you know I always had that that green van and so Miami Heat you know caught wind of that through I guess

They the feds Pat know everything was like if we if if we talking about championships we need to have a championship van so we brought it up they shipped it up here and uh heat Nation signed it so it’s no longer a green van it’s a white van you know we

The white out yeah so a million white signatures covering the van and it stayed it stayed here for a while and then we brought it back home and this park we got to hide it though cuz somebody definitely tried to steal it yeah there a lot a lot of signatures on

There someone you know heat die hard you know if yall interested in having a museum in your in your garage let me know that’s a historical piece that’s a historical piece right there we ain’t gonna go back and forth so come with the right offer straight up

Front kill killer go ahead and buy that you got money crazy money he got a lot of money got a lot of money while he over here talking over here wild no Jack I’m but talk about it like obviously um coming into the heat in the time you

Came into the heat right like I always I was curious what your mindset is cuz what are you 20 when you come in I was 21 21 coming in to a team that just came off a championship run that lost right uhhuh so we get beat by Dallas you come

In your 28th pick in the first round MH you come into us and you’re walk in that locker room and it’s Bron it’s dwade it’s CB it’s Udonis hlam it’s killer Shane B you walk into Champion you walk championship 17 yeah Championship or bus Championship yeah so you’re going you’re coming into

High stakes poker man like so what’s your mindset like because I I know what your answer is gonna be because I know you now yeah you walked in that like this is your nah what I did honestly I wanted to walk in and earn my respect

The same way I respected y’all from y years of putting in work from watching being a fan I wanted to come in right away and earn my respect I wanted y’all to look at me as a peer um so that’s my focus and we had to lock out yeah so I

Didn’t have no no real training camp no summer league so I wanted to come in knock the conditioning test out and show that I’m a professional the ultimate professional and I wanted to be one of the young guys that played cuz you know uh young point guards are not known for

Playing here you know and on our team it was a heavy vet team it was a no BS team like you said Championship or bus so I wanted to prove that y’all could trust me so that I can contribute to winning and you know my competitive nature

That’s that’s what it was it’s so crazy cuz you say like a heavy vet team and a no BS team team is wild when you go to different situations and you see it and that’s not the emphasis so talk about and we’re going to come back to the

Miami stuffz I want to talk but you just gave me such a you gave me you threw something out there that I think is important right like when you leave there and everyone talks about heat culture and he has to sit up here and talk about heat culture all the time cuz

Everyone wants to talk about heat culture but the guys that actually walked out of it like and you went to different situations he had 20 years here so he didn’t really get to see the other side of it he saw other guys come in right that didn’t emphasize that but

What do you go thing I will say is he had he was a heat guy yeah he was a heat guy Player of the Year Defensive Player of the Year and his confidence the first player to do that he was a heat guy and he was cosigned by the king king say we

Need a point guard so he was cosigned by the king so he was a heat guy but just talk about it though oh man when you when you around winning it’s a habit it’s a culture you become obsessed with it the the feeling of winning that habits the the discipline you know the

Nastiness of winning the intensity of it so when you go somewhere else it’s like they make you feel like you crazy you know I went to other places and I was like a lion being around a bunch of domestic cats like you have to like dumb

It down so that you don’t look like an outcast so but in my mind I’m like I know what it take to win and winning is not quote unquote fun all the time it’s fun when you win that’s the fun part yeah the process of getting to that fun

Is not always funy that it takes and so yeah when I left Miami and you know played in other places you know went overseas and things like that I had to realize like everybody can’t play for the heat we not built for everybody listen I love and I’m not crazy I ain’t

The crazy one y’all the crazy one cuz we getting the results and winning so I never backed off for that you know to this day I love I love the fact that you said that and it it just damn that made me want to a thug ti no for real man cuz

I tell people all the time ain’t fun unless you’re going to ride down bis G with the parade that’s when it’s fun when you getting sized up for yeah that’s what it’s fun but until then it’s going to be some sleepless nights it’s going to be some frustration y you know

What I’m saying it’s going to be a lot it’s going to be some anxiety it’s going to be a lot of things that you’re going to feel on that run of trying to win the championship if you really trying to get it done exactly but up until then you

Ain’t having no damn fun that ain’t fun until you had a until you had a parade it’s it’s wild because you you get you get drafted into a situation like that and no one everyone’s just thankful to be drafted right like when you come out

Or when you get on a team whatever it is ESP you come from Cleveland State yeah you come from NBA but you’re just thankful to be on a team but like most guys come on a team and they’re just trying to find their way and you find

Out like like for me go Orlando is great had a lot of bets the only rookie on the team rookie of the year go ahead give you your flowers now dog year but but but I found out though like being young on that veteran team like winning

Winning was hard but you didn’t realize it when you young you walked right into like it’s opposite usually you’re searching for championships you know what I mean because that’s what it ultimately how I got to Miami mhm was I was searching the championship and me

And you you took all my money though see boy see how I got to do it if I got a dollar every time I heard him say that I’ll be rich hey if I got a dollar every time I heard you say that that mean I Ain lying

Dog that mean I ain’t lying it’s all good though we made up we made up I’m going get get I’m going get back I’m get back to what I was saying like so like when you’re when I’m searching for those CH like for you you come in there and

Now you’re like when you get done with two championships cuz you your first two years in the league it’s Championship Champion you’re probably like easy ain’t it man I thought this is my reality that’s exactly what I a killer I was thinking this is real cuz it was up

Until we lost that was my reality so I was like this is what it is this is you come in you work hard you play well you got a chance to win you got good players good vets and you win that’s that was my that was my reality that was my reality

For a long time though killer you got to think we won back toback championships in in high school yeah I got two Championships in college championships so winning was like yeah what just what you’re supposed to do you’re supposed to win heard so so losing was actually a shock for you

Losing listen Hey listen CB told me it’s funny my rookie year CB and Jawan was like hey bro this situation that you in right now don’t take it for granted it’s not like this for everywhere and then CB was like if you ever get out of this situation you might need a shrink

List he was never I told my dad leave to CB to be spot on with spot never the first time the first time I didn’t win I was like this not it and then you know obviously we ain’t been back I ain’t been back since so I

Was like I I need a shrink I’m 78 years in I need to be talking to the shrink right now cuz winning is addictive bro yeah so that was my reality as a rookie I didn’t know no other way I thought this is what we do you know I had killer

Who was right here my locker mate I had James Jones on this side my locker mate I had right across BR over there and so I had I was surrounded by by winners by gring so I’m like this is what this is what it is you was between killing and

The difference cuz I know you touched on a little bit but the difference of of playing here and then going to a new spot cuz I’ve been traded he never has so just Enlighten him what trade getting traded is like man it’s tough um cuz I

Didn’t I didn’t receive a call I saw it on the ticker I saw it you know on the ticker I don’t like that and then then my agent once it was I hate when I hear that when people don’t get a call like it it was tough listen man and you know

I’m a heat guy but call I got a call when I got traded but it was on my birthday damn go ahead I don’t know if you wanted to call well I’ll take it back I that’s the day you shouldn’t call said let the man of Joy his goddamn

Birthday so you know when it’s on the ticker it’s not official until paperwork and stuff is done so my agent even called me until it was like done done so I had found out then my agent called me I was like what’s up cuz I had already

Saw it on ticker and he gave me all the details and it’s just what happened my first game was going to be against the Heat so I didn’t have to leave my apartment they was flying in so I signed with New Orleans it was actually you

Know fun playing there I was able to show more parts of my game because you know we had to sacrifice for our team so I was able to show more of my offensive game more of my playmaking ability you’re hooping down there yeah n it was fun it was fun different though New

Orleans is different than Miami obviously you know I like Miami better um but New Orleans is cool so I like that the weather was nice it was still in the South you know so it was an adjustment though because they didn’t do things the way we did things you know it’s like

Who who are your bets over there I was just going to ask was that the Boogie and AD no no so it was ad Ryan Anderson Drew Drew Drew had to be good Drew Drew was great but Drew was coming off of you know injuries you know he had those

Injures then his wife you know had that so that was he was going through a tough situation there Tyreek Evans was there Eric Gordon was there you know Monty was the coach first year Monty was the coach the first year we actually made the playoffs okay so you know when I got

There it was good we went on the nine game winning streak so that was that was fun fun but we lost first round that’s when Steph Curry was you know tearing the league up so I found out with that Western slowed down since yeah let me tell you something he’s still tearing

Tearing tearing hey bro he he tore us up bro yeah it’s unbelievable it’s still unbelievable to watch right now yeah like it’s crazy like it’s still unbelievable to watch but I want to touch on you having an opportunity to get to Showcase your offensive game because what people don’t understand

Is when you walk in this organization you automatically sign up to sacrifice yes like it’s not an option it’s actually frowned upon if you don’t yes you you’ll get weed out you’ll get weeded out so you don’t ask why I didn’t ask why you don’t you don’t you no you

Don’t yeah you don’t have a choice you know what I’m saying it’s you got to be 4 feet in you know that’s what we say but what I will say is one of the coldest pull up Jays get cold get in his spot and pull up for your ass you can

Forget about it I’m talking about I’m talking about everybody talk about scorers and one thing I understand about scoring is I said I played a role but one thing I understand about scoring is they have spots on the floor that once they get to their spots is Miss or make

You put your hand up you can play whatever kind of Defense you want certain guys get to their spots as Mr Mi cow World got to a spot you can forget about it was bucket that little elbow get to the Elbow get to the wing one two

Three drible boom what you forget about it so I was happy that you got a chance to Showcase your game obviously wasn’t happy that you left but I was happy that you got a chance to Showcase your game so I’m thinking this going to be it’s

Going to be what it is you just talk about how what what what was next and after how it went after that that yeah cuz I’m I’m be honest like just touching on you kind of caring with what you saying there is like you going two championships with vital part of two

Championships by the wayal people understand how hard that is especially as they’re young kid then you go there and you you expand your game in New Orleans and go to the playoffs yeah go to the playoffs and still cons you know still win but get better every year

Because that’s who you are you’re a grinder you’re going to get better every year um I know I’m a College Dropout but the math ain’t math yeah right like so how do you go from two championships to expanding your game getting better in New Orleans and then I look up in you’re

He def he definitely dropped out he def I learned you know what I you know what we always talk about learning the business of basketball man I learned a hard lesson the business of basketball man um for y’all young fellas out there when you have a agent make sure you’re

Involved in what’s going on don’t just let them handle stuff behind the scenes without you knowing but it was my first time in free agency I didn’t know that yeah and so um I had a you know a powerful agent M and I let him do everything all the negotiates I didn’t

Even think twice about it but you know you know it did some bad negotiation you know you just got to call it what it is and I caught wind of it late and I ended up firing them and you know when you fire a powerful agent you know of course

They G to save face and you know that’s what happened and you know tried to make it seem like I was the greedy one which in reality I wasn’t yeah especially my background coming from Cleveland St seen never seen that in you and so you know

That’s what happened so I end up having to take a deal in China for a couple months and then you know got got injured out there rehab 8 weeks came back and got a chance in OKC the Russell rest triple double Year yes but it was it was

Tough after that because U you know once someone tries to damage your name and your reputation and their person that has leverage and has you know is looked at as a powerful agent it’s tough to kind of recover but I was able to recover and still play Never Miss no

Meals family and everybody still good pops still retired you know I was able to get the house I’ve always wanted the cars I’ve always wanted like that so I was able to recover but you know I missed out on a lot because of that you

Know I’m 70 maybe you know now I’m in my 12th Season Pro I probably missed out 70 80 million because of that W yeah it’s hard to make that up we going to get it we going to get it get it you still she be playing H yeah you still be playing

I’m still playing by play how you how how you take how you take the blasts off and look at the camera for anybody looking for a hey look here man all it’s all you NBA how many NBA teams it is man there 30 of I watch a lot of basketball

You need some help lot of you need some help in your locker room so a lot of this that’s going on like OK Corral in your locker room if y’all could just get these 15 mother on the same page y’all actually might have something going for

Yourself but if you give 19 20 year olds millions of dollars and to think that they going to understand how what they need to do to send a team to the championship keep 15 guys together man these can’t walk at you bubble gum yet

So at the end of the day you need vet and on top and and on top of that like that was great preaching by the way just just rewind s minutes ago to what he was talking about the value of winning and the championship and and understanding it like most important

Thing in that locker room is most of those guys on most teams unless there’s a couple vets or guys at w Championship have no idea what they’re walking into or what it takes and he’s and he’s in a position now where he’s you a he’s all

Like he came in here like this he’s in great shape doing he’s still playing with G leag Knight so he’s still doing it but I’m saying like just coming in there and being that you know whether it’s 3 minutes one night or 22 minutes or be that spark like that’s to me

That’s how you win championships I mean when you look back at my career and I never forget it it was a comment by Dylan Brooks was like you know what I’m saying we don’t we don’t we’re not looking for a vet like that wants to come in and and take minutes and

Different things like that but can still play and contribute if needed right but they really just looking for a guy for guidance you know what I’m saying you got to lead these young mother with love they need guidance they Talent the talent level right now is unmatched I’ve

Never seen Talent like what we watching there Wim Yama and all this chat these mother is s eight they and they dribbling the basketball bringing it up the floor starting offense and if you step back they’ll pull up three on your ass it’s unheard of I got out right in

Time I got out right in time kill I don’t want none of that so if you look at that you know what I’m saying the talent is there but how do you mold that Talent don’t get you f don’t Talent don’t get you high Talent get you fired

You know what I’m saying you can have talent you saying potential that’s one thing but molding it and handling is a whole another thing and I think when you take about a a guy like cold world he embodied everything that I embody you know what I’m saying still staying in

Shape even though you probably not going to play but that sa an example for the people around you so the other 15 guys in the locker room 14 guys in the locker room have no excuse not to be in shape exactly if Cole wh is in shape and he

Probably not gonna play tonight why am I not in shape you know what I’m saying so it’s a standard and it’s frowned upon if your ass is not in shape when a guy like cold world got Rings 35 years old and he making a body fat every time now now you

Put pressure on to hold a standard he said the body f w body fat now you put pressure onami listen now you putting pressure on to hold the standard dog and that’s where it’s got to start with a guy like that in your locker room and that’s the leadership part you know the

Example you know the that’s the showing them the showing them like you say they don’t understand what it looks like you know they know how to play dunk you know shoot threes stuff but the the professional part of it you know the preparation part of it because preparation is the difference from

Winning and losing you know everybody can run fast jump high dunk shoot threes but who’s taking care of their body after the game before the game you know the guys who play 20 minutes or less we in the weight room you know after the game we in the wait when we running we

Got to stay right after the game that’s that’s just what it is that’s to this day that’s what it is and so you know I believe that I can do that and I’ve always you know try to do that and I’m continuing to do that so for any team

Any team getting ready for the playoffs that’s that’s that’s the play to me but with that being said and playoffs coming around the corner who you got coming out of East I’ll say this nobody wants to play obviously Miami if they’re healthy nobody point you know nobody’s won more games in SPO

Other than Golden State these last decade so nobody wants to play my um I I honestly believe that um if Milwaukee is healthy I believe that having Dame and jiannis I think they going to eventually figure it out the Celtics I’m I’m I’m nervous cuz they

Live and die by the three you know if they making their threes then you ain’t got no chance but we all know you can go for three or four games not shooting it well and in those games when you got a guy like yian who going to be using up

Fouls and offensive rebounding and Dame who can close it out or a Jimmy who once he sent something sweet out there you know you know so what what he do once he once he feels something sweet out there you know he going to expose it so I’m I

Would have to say Milwaukee or Miami is who I would pick you know even though Boston is playing the best right now I would in the series I believe Giannis and Dame are closers and they can use up a lot of fouls and Jimmy bam and SPO

Nobody has more experience than them so those are the two teams that I probably I likeed that I like I mean at the end of the day it really comes down to which team can muddy it up based on what you’re saying muddy it up to game seven

Against Boston and you hope you miss shots yep now cuz they make all they three I mean if they make 30 33 43 but you know how it comes you get down to a game seven yeah anything buddy buddy and and let me tell you something it ain’t

That easy to shoot that pumpkin in the game seven brother right about that close out game and listen when you go 48 minutes and you have to work for every shot you get that wears on you man and then and fourth quarter start left you start missing right start being a little

Short like you know what I’m saying the team who got the best second unit though normally is the team that wins anyway though you know great Point that’s Golden State all those years Stephan them was great but they second unit used to smash teams like our team yeah you

Know we had the big three and they was awesome as it gets but our second unit we used to come in and if we was down eight when the starters got back in we was only down two I’m happy you brought up our team in the depth we had cuz I

Think people need to understand you know what I’m saying like how Talent we were and there’s two things I want to touch on the iron sharpens iron thing people don’t understand we we all play oneone all the time against each other after practice set for the shooters right the sniper unit they had

Their own thing going on they like they like they like Ops yeah they like go take your ass down there and kick get on the other side and just kick they didn’t have to do all that go down there and kick yeah just get your ass down they was

Kicking but people don’t understand that we play one onone all the time so it was a comment that people talking they asked about us playing one onone and the one time that I did watch Dwayne and Braun play Dwayne won that game that doesn’t mean Dwayne’s a better basketball player

Than LeBron but Dwayne won that game but it was always iron shopping and iron I used to go one-on-one against CB yes sir CB would beat me sometimes I would beat CB sometimes then we had bees come in nobody couldn’t beat that mother he was just a one-onone player yeah nobody stra

Hooper nobody was beating bees but with all that said could you please elaborate on the take of iron sharp and irons one with everybody playing one onone and obviously we understand who our best player was and two the importance of a Chris Bosch and what he brought to our

Team because I think people don’t understand I would never say that Chris was the best player on our team at that time for sure but with that being said Brion and dwade all downhill attacking guys when Chris BOS is standing in that corner and you got a guy that can space

The floor for you all the way to the three at the five at the five how much easier that makes the game of basketball yeah so the iron sharpens iron that’s you know that’s what we was that what we’re about nobody was scared of that smoke nobody I mean that’s that’s the

Makeup of our team though like we didn’t have to Rah our way to that that’s who you was that’s who I am you know that’s who Rio is that’s who D way at the core that’s who he is LeBron at the core are competitors killer you know when they

Down there shooting during their competition we were all compe competitors and so our practices led to when we got into into the game it was easy because if we could go at each other as hard as we did and we loved each other what you think we going to do

To a team we don’t care nothing about and so that was that was the mentality of iron sharping AR man we we did the same thing every day yeah it was like clockwork we going to do in that dumb Indian Run we’re going to do five on0

All the plays down and back once once twice two three four time we going to do the specialty plays that that uh pistol hammer r which we only ran one time during the year and it worked worked it did worked and so and then we get to competition strap them up mouthpiece in

Three on three four on four five on five knee pads up and so when we got to the game and we could actually just breathe a little bit it was you know it was fun you know the game was easy it was easy for sure it was easy for sure because we

Had you know it’s like you ain’t going against CB when you step out there in the court I ain’t going against you know the backups we ain’t going against D way Mike and Brion on the other team they they don’t have that combination so it was like

Woooo and so from that instance the iron did sharpen iron our competitive nature and then when we talk about the Dynamics of our team you don’t got to apologize for it you we was there we played with him we know what the uh the strategy was

For other teams trying to stop us we know what our strategy was so we don’t got to apologize you was right you know we didn’t have nobody like CB you know when we played in the finals sergy blocker was blocking everything yeah he don’t respect if CB not standing out

There guess what he not standing out there he’s going to stand close to the bask had to put Serge ass in the far Corner we put CB way over there and and if if he helped off a little bit Brion and D way was going to attack the rim

Finding Corner three that’s the importance of CB in a nutshell and we beat them what four to one yeah and for all you out that that was saying oh well you must be saying you ain’t that good cuz you would CB back up go check the

Film we play Indiana when CB was hurt how good I am I’ll show you how good I am right right go check the film we play IND theana CB was I can answer that question hey produc hey producers do me your favorite during this man let’s run some UD

Highlights first was oh you would see me back up so you must be saying you ain’t that good I’m I’m I’m going to help you out I’m going keep it cuz this world’s getting real lazy yeah they call casuals instead of making them go out there and

Look at it I’m just going to play we’re going to play though oh yeah give him the We Got The Power of play we could do that right some mind too in that Indiana Indiana Chicago got a lot of work they they got a lot of they got a lot of

Second unit work they got a lot of speaking to that what about that lob let’s go to the lob just let’s replay the L NBA NBA’s moments right like when you get older like us when you get older like us you’re not old like us yet but you’re getting there stop stop killer

Stop but but you you are like hopefully you do get there you know what I mean yeah yeah but not like NBA become snapshots for you man and that right there was an NBA snapshot I’ll never foret you’re involved in it so talk about that L I’m I like Jason Terry man

Me and JT cool but God damn hey I think our whole te I think our whole bench got teed up for that listen when it happened I’m gonna be honest did y’all think it was gonna be like this viral we talking about 10 15 that’s what I tell people I didn’t think

Nothing of it other than it was a momentum changing play I didn’t think it was going to be like cuz it wasn’t the best L we ever had it was a lot of lobs over the years but yeah a body he just jumped over and it was because it was

Boston he was talking trash I think that’s what it was but I I had just turned it over yeah tried to make up for it which we did got the back tip you know D way you know kicked it up to me I had a layup but I you know I heard the

Freight train I heard I I heard it what it sound like what it sound like you can hear his Hey listen do not don’t nobody get out when it’s a steal nobody get out everybody else just get the out the way freight train coming cuz the freight

Train coming there was there was two times in our when I was with my two certain scenarios in Miami that I always knew is if they were running down for a break my whole job was just to cut the guy off and make him change direction

Cuz brown was going to throw that off the backboard for sure on the offense say he turned he turned and went the opposite direction faster than any human being I’ve ever seen in my life man I heard him bro I didn’t even see him I just heard

Him and so Kentucky man when I heard him I was just like oh okay no layup here just I just had to make sure it was high enough that JT didn’t tip it like and that’s what it was and it was a the fact that he he probably should have not

Jumped you know he probably probably he probably should have just turned and got out the way or you know but he was you know he was feeling you know he was feeling froggy he thought I was I he thought I was about to turn it over like

He thought I I was throwing it to nobody cuz he didn’t see LeBron till it was too late a nobody see him till it was too late hey well I didn’t see him coming either I was watching you I was focused on you on the break I didn’t see that PG

Radar vision is you got that’s that PG radar cuz he you heard him and I was like I was like oh no he close like he close enough to where you could just like just put it anywhere in the atmosphere bro that’s the same thing

D way said like you just throw it up in the atmosphere like you don’t know where he at you don’t know what’s going on but you know he coming you just throw it up somewhere yep and he going to dunk it left or right hand like he going to he

Going the one thing he going to do he going to catch the ball and finish the yeah it’s I’ll be honest the one thing is so impossible when people ask about him um and playing alongside of is how fast how athletic he never he never mishandled any bass like you throw it

Anywhere I mean it was just he was fast man yeah that was crazy it was a a get out the way so let’s talk about now as fast forward now to where you’re at now so playing with G League mhm explain what to people at home like you know

Obviously people that are all into basketball know what the G league night is um but some people won’t so explain what the g-league night is what your role at G league night is and and what it’s like there so g-league night um is a it’s the NBA’s team for young players

Who didn’t want to take the traditional College route and who didn’t want to go overseas so it’s like a transition phase from high school to the NBA that in between phase and so I’m with a bunch of 17 18 19 20 year old guys who are very

Very talented for their age most of them are number one in the country at their age group and so my job there is to be like a player coach you know I’m there to practice with them show them the habits um you know I play you know in

The game if you know things get a little out of control or you know that need to learn some lessons like like sit down and watch and it’s my job to come in there and be silent I watched a bunch of games you control the whole thing too

Sir love it and then you know I another guy named John you know um John jenkin’s there with me too and Mike Fraser other vets that are there who played in the NBA had some stance in the NBA so we there just to be you know that Guiding

Light for them they ask us all the questions in the world’s what’s it like um you know you think I’m good enough or what what do I need to work on or why do you you know John why you cuz he’s a Shooter’s like why why you shoot so much

In me like how are you still in shape like this why what is your motivation and so those type of questions they ask and they get to see us every day and we get to work with them every day I think that’s genius by the NBA cuz the stuff

That you’re talking about now just again for people at home that that don’t know much about G League KN you’re talking about guys like Jaylen green came out johathan kaminga came out of there scoot Henderson came out of there you got probably three lottery picks coming out

Of there again this year three top 20 picks coming out there this year so to have that and for them to be able to have to bounce that off of guys that have done it and to hear what you’ve been talking about this whole time like

Because that’s the whole thing I try to do with kids now is build in routines and habits right because it’s professional routine that’s what I saying professional you talked about you talked about it in Miami like we’re going to do the same thing over and over

Again every day that’s why we are great at it and and you see the progress and getting better so I think it’s genius and I think it’s awesome that you’re doing that I really do I mean that’s priceless you can’t put a price tag on that AB you know what I’m saying because

At the end of the day like you said you got a couple kids that are going to be top three couple of the kids that are three of those kids are going to be the top 10 or whatever so you can’t Fast Track that kind of experience the only

Thing you going to do is be able to be around somebody and go through it but if you got a guy like Cole World in your locker room then he can help those guys with some of those things and it also gives a guy that they can trust once

Again I always go back to trust yes sir as much as I might love playing for SPO or Rous or something as a young kid I’m not picking up the phone and calling SPO Rous no for real I’m not I hear you I’m not they not they not from where I’m

From they don’t understand nothing I got going on don’t know nothing about having drug dealers homeboys and decision making with baby Mas and all that I’m calling one of my OG’s y you know what I’m saying I don’t want to be judged you know what I’m saying I might not want to

Response just want you to listen soon as you call Sport pack you going to get a response and you might get judged yeah you might get judged you might get judged and it’s not a knock on them but they got to run an organization they got

15 guys to worry about you just want to call your OG and you just want to get some advice for your OG and that’s priceless bro to have somebody that you can trust that’s going to tell you the right things for you and it ain’t going

To be no it ain’t going to be like for me it’s for you only you know what I’m saying I ain’t telling you what to do for me I ain’t telling you what I want you to do for the organization I’m telling you what I want you to do for

Yourself how can you help yourself that’s priceless and that’s the great part about it cuz you know yall was my OG’s and so you know some of the things that we would talk about I better I was probably a better OG than he was though

Y had Y Man Mike Miller y’ had y differ Miller I still I used to do your shooting routine though you know you know how you run um run the half court to the corner and then you shorten it up run to the break and then you slide from

The break to the to the slot and slide from the slot to the break and then run from half court to the top I you know I still do that you know I had that I Incorporated other than you know the ball Park point guard but I Incorporated

That so I stole some of that from you so I teing I be teaching my young cats that but then the working out lifting weights being a maniac you know you you know you ain’t going over here and my my young fellas ignite they’ll tell you you they

Be like they be like Co you is so crazy and I be like nah you got to compete bro once you step out there and the only way to compete is to be in shape yeah I don’t they like you don’t never seem like you flustered or worried and it’s

Like you don’t have to be flustered or worried when you know you strong you know you ain’t going to get tired so when I run into when I’m playing defense or I’m dribbling the ball I’m not worried about running through this screen that’s what we lift weights for

Yeah you know God reach in I’m not worried about him reaching in on me like this what we lift weights for like confrontation what are we worrying about confrontation for this is what we work out for so and you studying film got take glass on that you know what I’m

Saying I mean and then you studying film so when you studying film I know what he’s probably going to do so I’m I’m I’m getting my mind ready and so that’s what I tell these young guys like how you know to make that pass I’m like young

Fellow in film what did they do he’s like they show so when they show that’s two onone so when he short rows the math now we’re at of advantage that’s why I don’t have to look if he shows and the guy guard goes over short rows open automatically now created an advantage

Yep and if the short R ain’t open that means somebody pre- rotated that means the skip is open and so these are the things that they ask they like how do you see those things and so I get to do what y used to do for me I got the

Answers to the test and I just get to give it to them and it gives me fulfillment cuz I don’t get nothing out of it I just you know help them you know so that’s that’s the great part of about ignite so we see what you’re doing with

Them which is incredible if you could do that same role to yourself what’s the best advice you give your your younger version so like basically you’re playing your same role now but you’re telling yourself at 21 years old when you came into Miami or 23 when you’re in New Or

24 when you’re in New Orleans like what’s what’s the best advice that you could give yourself your younger version of yourself I’m going to be honest killer be more involved on the business side that’s what I tell myself because I you know I worked out I was with y’all

Yeah I worked out with Brun I worked out with d way I worked out with you like and he would go out either remember that you wouldn’t go out either I to cut you off go out I was in let’s go out here let’s do no damn you don’t want he

Wouldn’t go out he wase of the game with his age and he was a very mature young fell I ain’t just saying that you see I couldn’t say that about bees yesterday this he was out he wouldn’t do nothing he wouldn’t go nowhere bro I was just

Being true to who I really was I didn’t want to be all get into the NBA all of a sudden turn into somebody that I’m not like I know that ain’t what I do and there no knock that’s what you do that’s just that ain’t what I do all I knew at

Cleveland State Cleveland State not known for basketball now it is cuz what I did but no one knew so I was just trying to make it now it is yeah it is shout out state to state it’s known now but I was just trying to continue that

Work ethic that got me there m and what got me there was 6:00 a.m. at Cleveland State 12:00 p.m. noon 8:00 p.m. at night for practice and then midnight shoot again like so I was trying to keep that same routine until I could get you know paid and take care of

My family so that was my mentality you that was my mentality I I got to I got to recap one of my statements I used to say Miami was undefeated but I I got to say Miami won in 99 it is not undefeated he beat it he beat it he beat it cor

World stayed out them streets cor kept them girls out his sheets Corell handled his business down here now I will say that about it I I try to keep my personal life private you as you should as you should that’s what it was I had I

Had my fun but I just kept the main thing the main thing yeah yeah I always appreciated that about you as a young fell too I will say that stayed out them streets stayed out them streets you know Cole on here in the ogs we are a man of

The people so we are going to go to fan questions because they have a lot of them for you hold up man what we got to tell these people don’t ask no dumb ass questions no dumb ass take this glasses off don’t ask no dumb ass questions and

Do not get mad to the responses that you get don’t DM me I don’t hear that please stop it stop it man for real hopefully they got some good questions man they be tripping which one you want to go to killer man that’s a good I’m pulling him

Up for the first time who the toughest player of to guard in the league who was the toughest player to guard in the league I I like that one because I’m I’m a defensive guy so who is your toughest your tough guy with you the tough toughest guy was the healthy Dereck rose

Without question it’s like it’s no question about it understand this The Undefeated one man a lot of people saying that shout out D Rose give in Chicago was not to be played with yes your favorite guards couldn’t do nothing with him Derrick Rose was that’s a great one

You saw MVP Derrick roseo that’s what I’m trying to tell you like remember when we played him um my it might be my rookie or second year the only reason we won is cuz you know we just happen to have brown on the team you know he had

34 Bri had 35 we we did all we could that’s when they had Noah and all them boys T Gibson all of them yeah yeah D Rose D Rose was the toughest toughest guy to go for sure D Rose yeah we’ll take that another question for you from

At Anthony Dore heat how did you find out Miami traded for you on draft night and what was your reaction to that cuz I’ll be honest is a perfect spot for you like you touched on at the beginning like Player of the Year defensive player of the year right there boom boom checks

Two boxes for Miami braon needed to point guard checks another box so it was a perfect fit but how’ you find out what was your reaction so obviously I was just excited to get my name called but I had been paying attention to the whole

Draft so I saw that the team that picked me wasn’t going to keep me cuz they had multiple trades going on so um who picked you Chicago Bull Chicago and then the Minnesota yeah and so it’s like that was fun just being drafted so I was like

Uh whatever like I don’t care where I go but then like a few moments later we saw ticker Miami had bought up cuz they had the first pick in the second round yeah Pat and had paid money to buy up to get that pick and so the house kind of went

Crazy it didn’t kind of went crazy it went crazy crazy you know cuz we all you know watched the finals and all that and then you know Brian being from Ohio and I was in Cleveland you know still living up there working out training so like it

Was like a match like match man in heaven and I knew I was going to be playing for something you know I was like oh shoot we about to be playing for that’s what you want we about to be playing for something so that was how I found out

Then my agent call with the particulars you know cuz when like I said when stuff happened on the ticker you don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes so my agent once everything was settled my agent called and gave me the pars and was like n this where we this where we

Going and I was like let’s do it I love it I got another question thoughts on the current heat we touched on this a little bit too but give us your thoughts on the current heat where they’re at um I think we all say the same thing on

This one like no one wants to see them in the seven game series right now if healthy but give us your thoughts on it yeah I think right now they’re they’re trying to find their Rhythm as they get close to the playoffs and hopefully you know get everybody healthy I think Terry Rosier

Is a great pickup you know for them T you know Scary Terry scary to go with to go with hero um in that back court I don’t like I said I don’t think nobody’s going to want to play them I I think especially with SPO spo’s The X Factor I

Don’t think anybody can really out coach SPO you know at this point in time in his career spoa Nostra yeah so at the end of the day even if it is even on the court I think on the sideline I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to SPO so yeah

I think I think they have a chance to get back to the finals you got say about that killer hold on no I I agree I I’ll be honest like to me and and it’s it’s very very simple in a seven game series with that roster that team that’s done it before

With SPO on a Sidelines and you know this better than anyone you saw it through when they were the eight and got in there you know I mean like that that’s going to be the hardest out anyone in the East has to see I don’t care I just wanted you to

Say Boston so I could dive on your ass no no no listen Boston’s playing the best basketball right now they are playing the best they’ve got two dud well they got four Dudes yes they’re very very talented I agree with what what what Cole said here there D there’s dudes and there’s dogs

Uhuh no no let me finish you asked me a question okay I’m just saying we got dudes and got dogs they do they do rely and it’s hard for me to say this cuz I love three-point shooting they do rely heavy on the three-point shooting um but that can come you know

Like at the same time those those things be can win three three games is the fourth game to one right so um I I just know like to me I just know too much about Miami and that’s going to be hard out man I it’s going be a hard out bro

It’s going to be a hard out oh I appreciate that killer thank you you’re welcome sir you know I’m the vice president of the Player Development he is Vice President of play development that’s why everyone keeps getting better over there okay you oh yeah you know me cob I got like 15

Jobs here’s good one most hardworking teammate you played with that’s hard to pick one I’m going to be honest I can’t pick one I can’t pick one cuz all of them did their jobs all of them did the extra work that was their job and so Mike James Jones Ray

That’s the sniper unit no one shot more shots than them um you know I worked hard at my job making sure I was in shape and knowing the defensive coverages and knowing how to get those guys the ball UD you know to when you talk about defensive position and

Picking popping short rolling and competing at the highest level being in shape you know you you know I always thought I was in the best shape but you know UD was always in tremendous shape and then you got Brion and dwade them cast work that they craft

Like no other you know so it’s hard to pick one to say who worked the hardest we all worked pretty hard I think we all learned from each other too we all watched each other and we took a little bit from what this guy did and implemented in our own workouts and our

Own process like you say you took something from Mike I took something from Braun I’ve never seen nobody beat to the gym two hours before and he probably wrote a 10 speed yes and by the time you got there he’s already lift weights he’s already got his shots up

He’s already got his treatment now practice starts now he going to kick ass and take names and practice and then after that he going to get to his spots Andes and do all that man he going to get to his spots and then he going to go

To Pilates and all that so just understanding just how to maximize your career and get the most out of yourself and and take care of your body and different things like that I was able to take that from Braun you know what I’m saying CB I never seen nobody move

Slower and it’s not a knock on CB but CB gonna get to his spot tactician bro he man he going to break you down he going to break you down you know what I’m saying just understanding the game um you know so everybody was just learning

Something from each other and I think we all helped each other be better you know what I mean a fact the the one thing I learned from Miami and from that team more than anything was just the professionalism of practice man like because I’ve been to certain places I’ve

Been I’d been at that point I’d been probably four different teams I think and like the joy I had in practice watching the practice like it was like come on man like and I it’s a that to me obviously heat culture has a lot to do

With it but culture is only as good as your best players in my opinion yeah that’s the fact and and and to me Lebron and dwade and CB started with the army base when we had you you w’t you fortunately fortunately for you probably it was one of the hardest training camps

I ever had to do with my life but started there but then it never died off like if we had a back to back yes it’ be a little lighter whatever but if you walked into practice man it was mouthpieces in knee pads up and your

Best pairs were trying to kill you our second unit was trying to give it right back it was on it was if you came in there on the off day and wasn’t ready if you came in there not mentally right you was going to get exposed handle the team

That talented that that dictated some playing time too now you Ain going to just get exposed and practice you going to get 24 minutes the next day for sure no you was you was nervous come in there Hey cuz listen if that happen Mr uh Mr grunt hey if somebody if

That happen somebody had something to say somebody tear locker room up man hey I’m just saying somebody tear locker room up but that’s the one thing man I I really do I I you know it’s and again these are things like when people ask you about playing in Miami you can’t

Even express it unless you were there and this video recorded like no right like those practices were I mean that’s why for y’all out there who trying to critique what you said and what what I double down on if you w there you don’t know yeah you have no if you wern’t

There and didn’t see it every day you don’t know the reality of situation you guys are again everyone gets mixed up in the social media era you guys aren’t saying he’s the best player he’s the most important player on our team like we all know who the best player is he’s

Still the best player 21 years now in my opin right in my opinion he’s keep it in context you casuals out there op sure we love y’all what we what people I I say this time and time again we had a front row seat to Greatness and it wasn’t just

It wasn’t just dwade it wasn’t just Brun it was dwade as well but it be times in practice where Braun would go to a level that nobody else could go to and the whole practice just stopped he had he had an elevator that had different floors just the whole practice just

Stopped and you be like like all right all right what’s next F can’t none of us do that yeah yeah yeah what’s next what’s next like cuz this cat is on something different today yeah and In fairness man we because we touched on that a couple times In

Fairness D way go to them levels too now don’t that part out that’s what he was saying that’s why he said you know because there was times there was times where if Braun needed a break or he was hurt or whatever we can get the same

Production we talking about a guy who at one point I think I don’t know exactly what year it was I was here because I was here all those years he was it it might have been 2008 or something but D way probably could have won MVP that

Year 20089 2008 2009 he probably Coulda should have won EVP that year you know what I’m saying so we talking about who was also at one point considered the best in the world dwade was one of the most calming factors for me on this team

Like every time I saw him kill really I couldn’t calm you wait no no no no no no you couldn’t to answer your question no but I’m saying like like if you walked out of a if you walked out of a timeout it was two minutes left and it

Was a one one possession game like you always knew that was about to do something he just over there chewing his gun that’s what I’m saying like in such a cal like it was like yo like he’s about to do something it’s a big block

It’s a steal it’s one of them pullup you know get your and ones like he always like I don’t know it just he was one of those common factors for me man like every time we walked out of that huddle I was like okay we going to be straight

And then you knew if D way or Braun or one of those guys was out or both of those guys out you could book thir CB for 35 100% you can book him for 35 remember in Portland man and hit the game winner what he told him n no no

Noah we going for the game winers is that’s exactly what he said no no no no we going for three we going for the game with him that facts all draws made it made it look easy what listen people don’t understand you know how hard it is

To shoot a pick and pop three yeah man we we did the same thing in um San Antonio yes end of the season when they they sat out and we won in San Antonio CB hit another dagger three to win that one bro it’s like CB was cold he was

Ahead of his game ahead of his time bro and in a tribute to CB making it look too easy one of our segments great point he did make it look to SP by our boys at Morgan and Morgan If you experience injury at someone else’s fault called

Morgan and Morgan Cole they deliver they deliver they can’t promise everything but they deliver okay which leads us to this two easy segment and who you got this time for the two easy segment I got Luca Don he’s putting up NBA 2K listen I’m done playing with y’all numbers I’m

Not changing I know but we got to we got to pick one each day or each so I got to pick a different one yeah I mean you can’t you can’t keep doing the same guy I know your boy sh sh and SGA sweat why

Can’t I pick him man go for 35 makes good point he don’t sweat I’m still waiting for man I don’t know what kind of diet he Poss he he can’t possibly smoke a drink cuz he don’t even sweat out nothing he sweats no toxins out cool is the other side of the pillow

I’m saying man go for y have a problem with my LCA I mean look at them numbers dog but they 34.6 9.8 9 and 1.4 steals oh he got that with him now no knock on L he the man he just don’t make it look

Easy as SGA yeah yeah and he’s a Olay on defense too but that’s a whole thing Olay you heard that potato Olay you doing too much now I’m just trying to hear I bad hear list we all know Dallas ain’t known for for defense we know that Dallas ain’t known for their defense

Yeah that’s why I’m going with SGA or Antman great Point great Point okay well I mean at the end of the day I I mean y’all put a lot you want me to if I can’t if I if I can’t go SJ again then I’m gonna go I’m gon go

Joker I’m gon go Joker he makes it look easy all the time all the time he makes it look easy all the time at the day it is easy for Joker yeah it is easy he makes it look easy all the time he don’t even like basketball I mean I will say

This I love my boy Joker he got a lot of people Twisted with that he loves basketball yeah now I just say heck no no no he be tricking he loves horses though yes he loves them he loves him I mean I think the game is too easy for

Him man like like I saw something Jamal Crawford came out with the other day he’s like he plays the game backwards which I thought was genius he’s like he doesn’t even want to score 30 he wants to do this but all a sudden he scores 30 he said he plays the game backwards

That’s a genius I mean I tell people this all the time man like do you want to go to work every day like course you know what I’m saying of course you can love the game of basketball and you can love you know what it does for you and

The impact and everything for your family but that don’t mean you want to play every day don’t mean you want to go to work every day like you know what I love I love competition I don’t give it’s Chinese checkers line that up with you so I don’t know if I love Chinese

Checkers line that up so I don’t know if I love basketball but I love competition and I just happen to be a basketball player you know what I’m saying so I’m not if he don’t love basketball so what he loved his family I’m sure you know

What I’m saying he love the people he’s supposed to love he Lov the things he’s supposed to love and he might just like basketball and he’s the ultimate competitor he’s good at it who gives a people at home always got something to say about what somebody say Hey listen

Man and we’re going to put this on here because I know we got unbelievable producers back there that they had going on this summer with the way LeBron was training and then and then Joker Jer and then Joker’s off seon and then what Joker’s doing had me in stitches bro we

Got to put that on Joker on the table Fat Man Dan over there 247 hey man was hilarious Hey listen what I will say is Joker Pat Mahomes they unicorns people at home don’t try that don’t try that do not think you can look like that and get that production that ain’t for

Everybody hey but I’m telling you though that that those type of things control a narrative because Joker puts the time in I watched it he’s he was there religiously cuz he’s he was my rookie so he saw like even though I wasn’t playing I was there two hours early I was doing

The same stuff and and hoping that it might happen where I played you know what I me right but it’s like and he saw that and he already had that in him like here’s a guy who’s making 1,800 bucks a month playing overseas you know what I

Mean so like he had that hung and he still puts it in now like he does that it’s just funny to see cuz everyone takes that same narrative oh he doesn’t love basketball he just like cuz he says it on on on hey really stay here for the parade be

Tricking me he got to love it man he got to love it and he’s so good at basetball and obviously clearly those guys work hard Joker works his ass off my homework is ass off all I’m saying is don’t think you can sit your ass at home and get the

Production that they got and the same results it don’t work like that for everybody everybody can’t have most most of us are Jags we just got to work our way into that oh my God so this one leads us to the next segment which is one of my favorite

Ones prize picks man they’re giving away free money it’s time to play come on man so we got a guest here like free money we love I love free money man they’re just giving it away what a prize sck man I mean go yeah I mean go sign

Up tag in the OG’s top five point guards all time North all five go magic Steph John Stockton oh I a’t heard that one in the cut cut cut stock Cut St uh oh my Isaiah Isaiah Thomas Zeke OG and last one is tough It’s So Many I probably have to

Say I had to say Russ I want to say cuz I want to say Jay kid but you can’t deny what Russ it’s hard to get them all in five yeah I got I go I’m G say Russ but I’m thinking Jay kid because Jay kid is undefeated in international USA

Basketball play since he was like amateur all the way to Olympics he’s never lost he he played two three different styles he used to be fast Coast to Coast Above the Rim he was an elite Defender then he became a shooter to end his career and won a championship

In Dallas Jay kid is Elite and then you got Gary pton who was Defensive specialist so it’s tough but us it’s like he got 23,000 points plus 8,000 assists 8,000 re or 5,000 assists 5,000 rebounds like he averaged a triple double bro when it hadn’t been done in 50 years so

I’m I’m go with that did easily I’m going have to throw Russ at number in there you on I had to throw him in there yeah I’m with you on that one what you telling people home you make these list oh man listen this just opinion don’t

Don’t come with that oh no I mean you can’t argue the resumes John St got two two records that ain’t going never be broken in the NBA yeah people at home get mad he play and he played 19 years he a Miss no games Harley somebody going

Somebody going to DM me and be like why Pistol Pete wasn’t up there like get the out of here I never seen Pistol Pete yeah that n but that argue with that five DM me and be like why got five chips and three MVP Steph is you know we

Know what what that is Steph is Steph John ston got records that ain’t going to never be broken same with Russ got records that ain’t never be broken most athletic point guard we ever seen with the production yeah you know then Isaiah Thomas was is just him

Real one it ain’t even about stats with him if you watch him play point guards you know that’s one of the best point guards you ever seen play hey before before we get out of here um we want to give the people what they want because we like to talk about

Miami Heat stuff and everything like that so before we leave give us your favorite SPO Pat Riley memory that’s a tough one man Co was you in Cleveland when I farted in the Huddle hold on what happened I farted in the Huddle one time I don’t want to remember

That was drawing up a player and I farted in the Huddle and SPO just stopped and was like what the is that even if I was there you that’s not something I don’t want to recall I don’t want to recall that I just I just but

You in Cleveland when I farted H hey killer you know I got to take my vitamins you know I was getting older take a lot of vitamins and supplements and you know what I’m saying you even if that was the case I’m not going to

During the season too he had messaged me back and so like the fact that you know he he still you know responds and we still have a relationship you know post you know even though I don’t play for the heat anymore coach that’s that was one of my most special moments that’s he

  1. When i see Noris,i just remembered the iconic Miami Heat harlem shake. I have born in 2000 and the Big3 Miami Heat era,was just something else back then,so fun to watch,so many great memories!From then,i support the Heat in the NBA. And like other guys said,i hope to see and other players from that Heat team on the show. Greetings from Greece!❤

  2. I feel like UD could have been better than he was them last few years. Too many DNPs. I know it was probably a mutual decision between the staff and him but damn I would have liked to see him out there more. Also in the big 3 era Lebron was their best player, Wade was their star player but CB was the most important player, very underrated. Let’s go Heat!

  3. UD could’ve put the word in man we could’ve got Norris instead of patty 😭 he younger too

  4. Riley had no one to blame but himself when Bron left. Why gate your brother because you F’d up the relationship!

  5. You guys need to do a big 3 reunion!Would love to see CB, Wade & Bron together with you guys. Championship podcast! Love the show

  6. Man, I’m glad you guys give CB his flowers every episode almost. Me and my friends used to say that all the time. Were from Miami born and raised Hialeah. And every time CB was playing and Bron or Wade or both or out CB for sure is getting 40 points and a mean 40 good times good times

  7. Man i love seeing old heatles show up on the podcast. Miss these guys ❤️🔥

    I was also shocked that cole disappeared after the heat days.
