Speaker 4: with everyone who's a fan that's going to a game
Speaker 4: is crazy.
Speaker 2: It's great, you know, you know, just being in the
Speaker 2: freshest serena in the in the city. It's new. You know,
Speaker 2: that's what these players deserve. It's what the fans deserve.
Speaker 2: You know, they've been great to us over there. You know,
Speaker 2: the Clipper organization has been real cool with us.
Speaker 3: You know we had right. It is cool. It is cool.
Speaker 2: You know, new ownership, so it's a new style, new famous.
Speaker 2: It's still Laker gang all day. But I'm just saying, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you got to bury the hatches something.
Speaker 1: That's the only time you buried the hatch when his
Speaker 1: business time.
Speaker 3: You feel me?
Speaker 1: Lane Stevenson is always up to something.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a great addition to the league. Everybody want
Speaker 2: to see him play. You know, he come out and
Speaker 2: play hard. You know, it looked like, you know, he's
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's a trip. But he's definitely a
Speaker 2: for Rookie of the Year, fourth Man of the Year.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. You know, we'll see if you get to
Speaker 2: the championship. He's hilarious.
Speaker 1: We interviewed him on It's over the phone, right, He's
Speaker 1: just gotten to l A and you know, I asked
Speaker 1: him what his favorite Mexican food is because it's l
Speaker 1: A right. He said, lasagna.
Speaker 3: I lost it.
Speaker 1: It's so hard to keep going. I was laughing so
Speaker 1: hardy slow.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, bro.
Speaker 1: Well he thought of it. I mean he thought about it.
Speaker 1: He was like lasagna.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: We had to put him up on game, no doubt.
Speaker 3: Trash talking.
Speaker 2: The league sells it as well, because I think sometimes
Speaker 2: everybody's so buddy buddy in the NBA, like everyone's cool, yeah, passive, aggressive,
Speaker 2: but in your league, there.
Speaker 3: In each other's face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man to me, yeah, because player, you know, I
Speaker 2: grew up it was trash talking was still part of sports.
Speaker 3: You know, in the nineties, it got phased out.
Speaker 2: I think Miami University had a lot to do with
Speaker 2: that on how they was acting back in the late eighties,
Speaker 2: you know, so it got phased out, and I think
Speaker 2: it's taking a little edge out of our sports because
Speaker 2: trash talking to make you play harder than if your
Speaker 2: mama was watching. You know, it's like somebody in your face. Yeah,
Speaker 2: somebody in your face is gonna make you go all out. So, uh,
Speaker 2: you get to see the best they got, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. You don't get to see some like
Speaker 2: cruise control type of match with robots. You know, you
Speaker 2: don't you don't want to see that. You want to
Speaker 2: see You want to see enemies play. You don't want
Speaker 2: to see friends play, to be honest.
Speaker 1: So it's the conversation like yo, y'all talk ship, now
Speaker 1: hold back.
Speaker 3: The conversation is be yourself. That's it.
Speaker 2: That's it. Just be yourself, play ball. You know, keep
Speaker 2: the profanity down. Because we are on CBS. We do
Speaker 2: got kids in the audience, But be yourself yourself. We're
Speaker 2: not gonna police your behavior, you know, especially our guys
Speaker 2: are not They're not college kids, you know.
Speaker 3: What I mean. They guys are grown men and grown
Speaker 3: men for shure, grown men all.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, my favorite player to watch. I love watching
Speaker 2: Michael Beasley play. You know, he's a great player. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, Jeremy Pargo is a great player in our league.
Speaker 2: You know, Montres Harold is becoming a monster out there now,
Speaker 2: so you know, he's a great player to watch. But
Speaker 2: you know, I like players like Mike Taylor, Elijah Stewart,
Speaker 2: Jordan Crawford. You know, these dudes can light it up.
Speaker 2: You know, at any time Earl Clark used to be
Speaker 2: an ex Laker, he's still you know, out there, just
Speaker 2: one of the most dominant players in the league. And
Speaker 2: it's great to just see these guys, you know, play
Speaker 2: at that level against their peers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, is there somebody you could watch today and
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, yeah, in the future.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of them, damn there, all of them. You know,
Speaker 2: it's uh, it's really do they want to play at
Speaker 2: that level? You know, some some guys when they're done
Speaker 2: with the NBA, they've seen enough back basketball. So those
Speaker 2: aren't the guys we want. We want guys who feel
Speaker 2: like I still got game? Why why am I not
Speaker 2: in the NBA, you know, and they still want to show,
Speaker 2: you know, the game they got. They still got that
Speaker 2: chip on their shoulder about being the best. They still
Speaker 2: want to practice, they still want to get better.
Speaker 3: Those are the guys we want. I'm not gonna lie bro.
Speaker 1: I want to see the Marcus Cousins me too.
Speaker 2: I've been begging it for two or three years. Is
Speaker 2: that right to play? I've been asking him for two
Speaker 2: or three years.
Speaker 3: What is he saying?
Speaker 2: Well, he says he loved he wanted to play, but
Speaker 2: he had other opportunities. You know, he's getting paid a
Speaker 2: little more money overseas, so you know, you gotta you
Speaker 2: gotta respect. You know, somebody going for the cash man.
Speaker 2: Garcia Son is about the go overseason play ball. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, Oh, do get your reason to go over there.
Speaker 2: Check him out, go to Italy to play.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. I think what's great.
Speaker 1: About the sporting I think what you offer is just
Speaker 1: amazing because it's just like to continue opportunity.
Speaker 3: To pursue the passion. Get it.
Speaker 1: They still got something to prove and Big three man,
Speaker 1: it's just what you did here is just an amazing thing.
Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna see a lot more copycats
Speaker 1: of it, to be honest.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Yeah, I mean you know
Speaker 3: that that happens.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not I'm definitely not immune to you know,
Speaker 2: people you know coming behind me with something that's similar.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I think we
Speaker 2: got the secret sauce. You know, we got the you know,
Speaker 2: we got the love for the game. We did this
Speaker 2: because we fans. We didn't do this because oh this
Speaker 2: is some great business opportunity. Let's do it. It was like, man,
Speaker 2: I'm a fan, I want to see this. Nobody's making this,
Speaker 2: like we got to do it. And then we jumped
Speaker 2: in and start doing it. Realized there's millions of fans
Speaker 2: all around the world who want more basketball, especially played
Speaker 2: the right way, fast and physical.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go in and go hard. Yeah yeah, man, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's right.
Speaker 1: Touch somebody if you got to no, no, Saturday.
Speaker 3: I get you. I got it.
Speaker 4: Do you remember the first player that you called when
Speaker 4: you started the Big Three and was just like, yo,
Speaker 4: I need you to be.
Speaker 2: A part of this.
Speaker 3: Kenya Martin.
Speaker 2: Kenya Martin is the first player that said Yeah. He
Speaker 2: wasn't the first player I called. I think first player
Speaker 2: I called I think we called Chauncey Billups. We had
Speaker 2: a good relationship with him, and we knew we needed
Speaker 2: a leader to rally players around this. And then I
Speaker 2: talked to iceman George Gervin. Then I talked to Clyde Drexler,
Speaker 2: because we knew we needed Hall of famers to get
Speaker 2: this leadue credibility from day one. Uh so those are
Speaker 2: the first people that that agreed to be a part
Speaker 2: of it, That's right.
Speaker 1: Would you ever consider getting like the end guys in there?
Speaker 2: Hey, you know they can come and try to try
Speaker 2: out at the combine. You know, we got a combine
Speaker 2: so guys can show show captains what they got.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: It's it's people think I picked the players like you
Speaker 2: get to play. No, no, no, We recruit player captains
Speaker 2: when we have to. But now we have team owners
Speaker 2: who recruit player captains, and the player captains get to
Speaker 2: pick who on their team. So there's no GM. There's
Speaker 2: no GM. There's just captains pick who they want captains
Speaker 2: and coaches. And so it be people that I want
Speaker 2: to get in the league that don't get picked. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, you know, because if I become too
Speaker 2: much of that part of that process, then it's not
Speaker 2: a pure process. It's you know, it's painted, it's it's biased,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, no matter what. So I
Speaker 2: like to get away from that process and let the
Speaker 2: players pick who they think deserve to be on that court,
Speaker 2: because they the ones who gotta win with them and
Speaker 2: lose with them.
Speaker 1: You know, a.
Speaker 2: Man superstar status has been great, and he's a great dude.
Speaker 2: You know he uh, you know, he's a guy who
Speaker 2: you know, I just want to ball out, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, do the right thing.
Speaker 3: And that's rare. You know, that's rare.
Speaker 2: Sometimes the guys they they want to ball out, but
Speaker 2: they don't want to act right, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.
Speaker 2: They want to act right, They want to act right,
Speaker 2: but they don't want to they can't ball So, you know,
Speaker 2: getting it in I ain't saying no name, getting it
Speaker 2: in a package. You know, a Hall of Famer like
Speaker 2: Dwight come in and you know, play game hard and
Speaker 2: learn the game and then participate with the fans, take pictures,
Speaker 2: do all the graphs, respect the league. You know, hopefully
Speaker 2: he'll play next year too.
Speaker 1: Because it's still a business. Yeah, you made, it's still
Speaker 1: a problem out there for him on the show. Man,
Speaker 1: you know Latino's going through in the city. Man, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've seen them and all of that. And we've
Speaker 1: seen shows and tours and events canceled because of fear
Speaker 1: of ice, right, Like, you know that that had to
Speaker 1: hit you hard being from the city, being you know,
Speaker 1: having a large portion of your audience Latino.
Speaker 2: It is, man, it's it's uh, it hurts because you know,
Speaker 2: it's all kinds of different situations been going around, you know,
Speaker 2: as far as immigration, but to see people like disrespected
Speaker 2: like that, and you know, federal government just you know,
Speaker 2: being too heavy handed and disrespect going to churches and
Speaker 2: weddings and you know, great having people out of those schools,
Speaker 2: and you know it's like come on, man, you know
Speaker 2: y'all just be way to do it right overdoing it,
Speaker 2: you know, and then the country flip flops. First it's cool,
Speaker 2: then it's not, Then it's cool, then it's not. You know,
Speaker 2: it's like how could somebody even keep up with what's
Speaker 2: going on? So it's just it's sad. Man, I can't
Speaker 2: wait till this period is over. You know.
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know how we're gonna get to
Speaker 3: the end.
Speaker 2: But this is just it. It's crazy to see people
Speaker 2: dragged out of day the spots of refuge, you know.
Speaker 1: Not once it's over, there's gonna be a lot to
Speaker 1: clean up for the next guy.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and then like everything is empty, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying, Like because when you do that too, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you do that to so called people.
Speaker 3: Who who are are you know what?
Speaker 2: They call it legal And now you get the people
Speaker 2: who legal don't want to come out because they don't
Speaker 2: want to deal with your ass either. Right, So you know,
Speaker 2: everybody staying home, you know, so to come thank you
Speaker 2: because you don't you don't want nobody to come hassle
Speaker 2: you or or even even want to look at your
Speaker 2: license and your ship exactly exactly. So nobody's safe man,
Speaker 2: you know. And they don't care who they grab, really,
Speaker 2: they don't care who they grab.
Speaker 3: They don't. It's sad. Elderly kids, women, children, doesn't matter, everybody.
Speaker 2: It's like they come in disrespect everybody and want to
Speaker 2: traumatize people. That's part of it too. They want to
Speaker 2: traumatize the ones that that's looking, not just the ones
