Transcript

Bro, dude, that's crazy.

That is nuts.

I mean, the money in NBA right now is crazy.

Dude, hell yeah, bro.

Wemby's probably gonna end up a billionaire if he can

if he can maintain this.

They're saying he's the next LeBron.

You don't think so?

The next LeBron?

God damn, that's I mean, he could be.

It's his first year.

Yeah, it is early as the sky is the limit, but the next LeBron, bro, that's like you got a long way to go, dude.

Ladies and gentlemen, not so air Jordan in the building.

What's up, bro?

Got him in Vegas, man.

It's sir.

First time.

Yeah, how were your runs yesterday?

Oh, amazing.

Yeah, I played a girl, so you know how that shit goes.

Okay.

Awesome, yeah.

You won, right?

Absolutely not.

No.

You lost?

Yeah, I did.

To a girl?

Yeah, but like, you know, the trick is, you got to let them win.

So, you know, damn.

Yeah, they invite you back.

Okay.

Yeah.

That was one of my questions.

If you think you could beat a WNBA player.

If I could beat a WNBA player, I think absolutely, yeah.

If I actually tried, like, if I wasn't like on a camera playing how I normally play, yeah, I'd beat the fuck out of me.

Even like a top five player?

like Kelsey Plum.

She's big as shit, so I don't know.

But like Caitlin Clark, I feel like I could lock her shit up.

Okay, yeah.

Kelsey's what, like six feet or something?

Like six foot five.

What?

Yeah, she's tall as fuck.

Holy crap.

She dates Darren Waller, bro, and they're like right there, you know?

Damn.

Yeah.

Yeah, there's some tall girl hoopers these days, man.

Soon they'll be dunking.

Dude, yeah, I know, right?

I can't dance room.

Did you play, like, college?

No, I never, I didn't grow up playing basketball.

I played baseball.

Oh, yep.

When did you get into ball?

I mean, I always hooped at like the wreck, you know, like growing up and stuff.

But I think when I actually started to like

try to play basketball or just like, you know, pick up a camera is when I dropped out of college because

I went to college to play baseball.

I got hurt playing basketball.

So I just started hooping at the wreck and that just to stay active and healthy.

And I was like, f ⁇ it, I'm just going to start recording.

Damn.

So you were nice at baseball if you were playing college.

I'd say I was pretty good, but I wasn't like the dude.

You know what I mean?

Like I, I could.

I was good.

You weren't him, but you were.

Yeah, like I was, I was, I was above, I was pretty good in high school.

Really good in high school in my opinion do you like basketball or baseball more basketball i feel like it's there's so much more going on but like if i was to watch a sport playoff wise i'd say baseball what yeah that's a hot take right there it really is but like it's because i grew up playing baseball so it's like you know you got to have that like you could appreciate like yeah intricacies of the game right like even like the boring innings to me are interesting you know like when some like you watch a a baseball game with someone that's never watched baseball before like bro it's boring like to me it's interesting i feel like it's always interesting it's too slow for me.

Yeah, I don't understand it like you, probably.

So, yeah, I feel like if you understand the game, it's better.

You know what I'm saying?

Because you appreciate the shutout innings, the no-run stuff, like certain pitchers, all that stuff.

So,

what about in person, though?

Oh,

basketball for sure.

Basketball.

Yeah, hell yeah, dude.

Basketball is fun to watch in person.

Hell yeah.

I just saw a Wimby play

Dallas like early mid-December.

It was like court size.

Oh, it was fire.

You got those court side seats?

You're balling, bro.

Oh, no, no, no, no, not balling.

Those are like 5'10 G's, right?

Nah, free.

Three?

It was free.

Free.

Yeah, it was free.

How did that happen?

I had to deal with my management up there.

Mark Cuban, hit you up?

That wish, dude.

Mark Cuban's lit, bro.

He's lit now.

He just sold.

Oh, yeah, he did sold.

Four billion, bro.

Dude, that's crazy.

That is nuts.

I mean, the money in NBA right now is crazy.

Dude, hell yeah, bro.

Wemby's probably going to end up a billionaire if he can maintain.

If he can maintain this, they're saying he's the next LeBron.

You don't think so?

The next LeBron?

God damn, that's.

I mean, he could be.

It's his first year.

Yeah, it is early as f ⁇ .

The sky is the limit, but the next LeBron, bro, that's like,

you got a long way to go, dude.

Got 20 years?

Yeah, 20 years.

But he's already averaging what, like 20 his first season?

20, like five blocks and shit.

It's crazy, bro.

Not to do.

He's like, what is he?

Seven something?

Seven, seven, three, seven, four.

Oh, my God.

Gosh.

It's like three of me, bro.

Dude.

It's crazy.

If you were that height, what would you do?

Oh, man.

First of all, I'd be in the league.

I would hope I'm in the NBA.

I'd hope I use my height for like something like that, not just doing nothing.

That actually is a pet peeve of mine when I see someone tall that's not athletic.

Yeah, it's terrible, right?

It's like, what are you doing, bro?

Yeah.

Like, why are you that tall?

Like, I've seen people 6'8 that can't dunk.

I'm like,

that's a waste of potential, man.

Like, you could be doing, you could be making millions.

Maybe even like 6'5 ⁇ , 6'4 ⁇ .

Yeah.

Well, 6'5 is the average height now in the NBA.

It's the average height?

It's the average height.

So you need to be like 6'8, 6'10.

Yeah, I'm like seven inches off.

Do you wish you were taller?

Are you cool with your height?

I'm not going to lie.

Yeah, I wish I was a 6'3.

6'3, I'm cool with, you know?

Like, I'm barely cracking six foot.

So, I mean, as long as you're six, though, I feel like if you're in the fives as a guy, it's like, yeah, it's like, damn, dude.

If you're a hooper, at least it's tough.

Right?

But I'm making it, so we're chilling.

Yeah.

You lights out with those threes, man.

Yep, in the corner, dog.

You know what I'm saying?

But go ahead.

No, I'm just saying, like, did you used to practice like taking those every day?

I don't practice basketball for no way.

I don't.

So that's just natural talent.

I don't, yeah.

I never, I never have once attempted to go like a full week of training in basketball.

Never.

Dude.

Never in my life.

So you just have that raw talent.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like playing baseball helped, though.

Yeah.

You know, being a lefty helps too.

Like, if you're a lefty, I feel like you got some type of athleticism with every sport.

But I've never gone out of my way to go, dude.

I need to go try to work on my right hand or like left hand for like a whole week of months straight.

Like maybe a day, but like, dude, it's just boring.

Then I feel like if I do that, I lose like my passion for the entertainment side.

Yeah, because you lean more towards that than just skill, right?

Yeah.

Because I feel like if I I was going to go this skill route, which is what I was trying to do when I started,

it wasn't fun, or it won't be fun for me because that's not how I grew up playing, you know, like I just around, like that was it.

I feel that, yeah, it's cool you found your lane because some people focus on most people focus on the skill, I'd say, yeah, that's what everybody does now.

And if you see the community, like it's 95% skill-based, yeah, it's all like one-on-one tournaments, three-on-threes.

Do you ever want to enter those or not?

To f around, yeah.

Like, if you want me to like, dude, I just played against real prisoners.

Yeah,

literally, yeah.

Like, it was Wednesday or Thursday.

Yeah, this Thursday.

Like, and it was three-on-three tournament.

And everybody's like cold as f ⁇ ing.

I'm that one guy that's just scoring and, you know, saying, kiss it.

And I grabbed the mic and I'm just singing eight mile in front of all the rappers and they're just dying, bro.

You know what I'm saying?

You were still talking, even though absolutely.

Bro, it was so weird.

When I got there, I was telling one of the guys that ran the shit.

I was like, bro, for some reason, I'm not even like nervous, bro.

Like, I was just warming up.

I know everybody's staring at me.

I'm wearing a whole money outfit with money sleeves and a money right.

They're like, who's that white boy right there?

And i'm like it dude like i don't care like i'm trying to live bro like i'm playing against prisoners i'm talking like turning everybody up so i think it was really cool damn they didn't throw hands no no wow dude everybody was coming up to me saying like yo you're really funny and all that this that and the third but the mc was like mc was funny as that's dope yeah even when i wasn't playing he was trying to get me to go like engage with like the people that were around yeah because it was like a It was like a bracket tournament, a 12-team tournament.

So we made it all the way to the championship, but we lost.

But even then, it's like cool to see, like, even though I'm not hooping for real, I can still bring in entertainment to the people around me, the people that are watching and stuff like that, even though I'm not skilled.

Cause all I do is shoot.

That's it.

That's all.

Yeah, I've never seen you.

Never seen the layup.

It's like, dude, it's like, it's like a sin for me in basketball to attempt to lay up.

If I was guarding you, I would literally be in your face.

Exactly, bro.

Like, I wouldn't, I would never try to go down to the lane.

I just won't do it.

I don't know why.

It's not worth the injury most of the time.

Exactly.

Because if I get hurt, I'm f ⁇ ed.

Yeah.

I mean, yeah, because Professor Torres ACL, he was out for like a year or two.

Yeah, that was in like 2019.

Oh,

yeah.

See what what I'm saying?

Like if you get hurt, it's like,

is it really worth that layup?

That two points?

Like, I'll take the three, bro.

Yeah, people be going for all these crazy donks.

I'm like, dude,

it's pickup.

Like, yeah.

Man, people get mad at USC, though.

Some of you are fighting.

All the time.

Yeah.

All the time.

I saw a couple of fights, right?

Yeah, but it's never usually with me, though.

It's usually with me.

My teammate.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So you just take the

so like I egg it on, but like, you know, like I will egg it on.

I'm not going to lie.

Like I do egg it on, but like I won't physically do anything because it's like, if you're initiating the instigation, all that, and then you try to throw hands, it makes you look like

facts.

You know what I'm saying?

It's like, okay, you're the one pissing the guy off, but then you're the one trying to throw hands with him.

So it's like, whenever people get mad at me, like, I'm just like, all right, maybe let me chill a sec.

You know what I'm saying?

But my teammate will escalate it into like the physical stuff.

I'm like, oh,

yeah.

And then I'll like chirp on the side, like instigate it.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, oh, like, swing, swing, swing.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

I remember when Nick Briz got swung on.

That was a big deal that was like the first fight yeah it's like though like

yeah i know what you're talking about he's actually gotten swung on yeah he got hit i forget when but it was a couple years ago i think and he got hit i've never gotten hit really knock on wood never gotten hit that's impressive never i've never gotten swung on that's impressive i've never gotten swung on because you'd be yapping in their face like bad too yeah but again it's like it's not like i'm trying to act hard you know what i mean yeah you're making it a joke right it's more so like i'm making fun of myself and making fun of them at the same time Yeah.

Rather than like just trying to humiliate them.

I feel like half of them don't even know how to react.

So they just go towards anger.

It's like, what the f ⁇ ?

Yeah, dude.

Like, yeah.

But I had this one guy in my men's league, bro.

I'll never forget this.

This is really recent, too.

I had a clip of him that went like very viral.

And the whole time, like, dude, this is one game where I was like shooting like Curry.

I swear to God.

Dropped like 35 or whatever.

Damn.

And if you watch my videos, like, I don't really post the other team unless it's entertaining.

You know what I'm saying?

Because I more so go for the entertainment side rather than the real basketball.

So we have a game that next week.

I'm like trolling him.

I'm like, yo, what's up, bro?

I have my like dummy, you know, that we use for like a prop and game.

He comes over and like slams that

just in my face.

And he gets up my like mouth.

No, homo, mouth to mouth.

He's like, bro, you better delete that right now, bro.

Or like, I'm going to swing on you.

He's like, you got till after this half, or you got after this game, like to swing on, or I'm going to come up here and like swing on you.

I'm like, oh,

but I was like, you know what, dude?

Like, you, bro, that looks bad on you, bro.

Like, you'd be stupid to hit me on camera.

Was he huge?

Bro, big as damn.

Like, 6'3?

God damn.

200 minimum.

Bro.

Minimum, bro.

Double your size.

Minimum, yeah.

So, if he hits me, I'm oh my gosh.

And he was guarding you?

Well, he was guarding me in the game when we were recording, but the next game, we weren't playing his team.

So, I mean,

so he wanted the video taken down?

He was pissed?

Yeah.

I mean, you know, like, you're getting on by a guy that looks like me.

Like, I mean, I'd want that video taken down too, but it's like, bro, you're, the reason he wanted to take it down was because he's like cussing out like a two and three year old, like, you know, like a mom with kids.

You know know what I'm saying?

So it looks bad on you, but why are you even doing that?

You know what I mean?

Like, it's not my fault.

I didn't tell you to do that.

Yeah.

That's your reaction.

Dude, people take these rec leagues so seriously.

It's actually hilarious.

Yeah, it's like, dude, you're winning.

You're playing for a f ⁇ ing t-shirt.

Yeah.

I mean, if you want it that bad, bro, you got it, bro.

Yeah, there's, there's been a few fights in the lifetime league.

Have you played lifetime where you're at?

No, I haven't, but that's like real Hoopers, you know?

Yeah.

It's like ex-high school college people that never made it and they're still passionate.

Right, yeah.

I'm in the league with like 30-year-olds past their prom, 35-year-olds.

year old so it's like we're having fun bro you know like again it's like why are you getting mad when because another thing that i do is before i play people i tell them like look bro if you don't want to be on camera like it's chill let me know now but i'm letting you know if i score like i'm probably gonna talk to you i'm probably gonna do some crazy give them a heads up yeah of course you know like i don't want to i don't want to just put a camera in somebody's face although i do that a lot and just you know have them very uncomfortable but like I always try to give people a heads up.

Just the decency, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Because I don't want to get kicked out of a league.

That's where I make my conference.

You get kicked out of games i do yeah i get ejected a lot yeah the refs do not like you man some refs do bro it's it's all bro it's all pick and choose man like if you get a cool ref they don't give a

it probably makes their dead yeah like i had i literally had this ref during this playoff game come up to me and tell me like bro i'm so glad y'all are here because if y'all weren't this should be boring

boring just watching people old 35 year olds play like yeah real basketball and you got this white dude that's in the corner like bending down and telling somebody to kiss it he's like bro this shit is hilarious yeah it's all pick and shoes i feel that i saw you play against jason love recently oh yeah was he nice dude he like at basketball yeah yeah he's pretty good really but he's also good like 6'6 250 bro right he used to play though that's what he said yeah but i mean i don't know that man wears a lot of hats yeah dude a lot of hats dude hey that was the coolest club i've ever done yeah

Damn, first realized outside of him.

I just see him as like the adult actor, genuine dude, bro.

That's dope.

If you were like, if we were having a conversation like me and you are right now, you would never even expect like he's that,

you know what I'm saying?

Like, he's such a chill dude, bro.

Wow, he teaches you some Riz,

Yeah, well, a lot of Riz.

What was his big advice?

Yeah.

Well, he was showing like body motions of, you know, how to like f ⁇ women.

You know what I'm saying?

This guy's laughing over here.

It was, dude, it was, it's hard to explain because I'm not going to do it.

But, like, just sex positions?

Sex positions, you know what I'm saying?

Like, what to say to women.

You know, his girlfriend's f ⁇ ing right there watching.

until yeah like the split yeah I met her when I was 17.

Yeah, and then she was at Baylor.

So I drove down there to Baylor.

Like, I mean, that's why I know what happened.

We were in her dorm room and got a little excited, didn't pull out, and boom.

Some people don't even talk to their oh, nah, dude.

My shit is not toxic, bro.

Like, that's like a friend of mine.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

So she understands.

I mean, I don't know if she fully understands what I'm doing, but she knows that I'm like, I guess, a YouTuber.

So, like, I have a busy life.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

That wasn't planned at all, right?

Oh, like, getting into YouTube?

Yeah.

Just kind of happened?

Yeah, not really.

Like, I mean, I was doing, I wasn't even doing basketball when I first started YouTube.

Like, are you doing baseball?

No, I was doing like DoorDash videos.

What?

Yeah.

You were recording your door dash yes this is when it happened oh i didn't know that was a thing my first ever youtube video that did good was how to make a thousand dollars in seven days with door dash they got like 30 40k and i was like oh but then i realized i was like bro what the am i doing you know like i'm i'm like a chill dude i'm a funny guy so like let me pick up a basketball this is at the time when frigga was really popping with like the park runs yeah and uh i had pulled up to one of his takeovers or something like that and he cooked my per usual with everybody um the clip went i said semi like decent viral, I guess.

So I was like, dude, this is like something I could do.

And I wasn't even dressing up like how I do now.

It was that next year into February of 2021

or 2022 where I was just like, I went to Dick's Sporting Goods and I was just around.

Like it was just so nonchalant.

I picked out like a random goofy to have like pink short shorts, pink high socks.

I had a custom jersey and that's when it started.

Like I was just trolling it.

That's how you got the gremlin stuff.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I got the gremlin name from MK.

I don't know if you know MK.

I saw that video, yeah.

Yeah, like he, it was like for his little who's got next thing of, like, basically upcoming creators to show, like, who's got next, pulled up.

He reacted to one of my clips and was like, bro, this guy looks like a K.

Yeah.

And then he was like, his homie was like, he looks like a K.

And then MK goes, no, he looks like a Gremlin.

And I was like, bro, it's a fire name.

I feel like I can market that so well.

Yeah, you embraced it.

Yeah, dude.

And dude, if it was never for that moment, bro.

That was dope.

Yeah, because most people get called out as like an insult, but for you, I embrace that.

Yeah, bro.

that dude tell me that's not a hard name it's pretty hard it's pretty hard you know what i'm saying yeah for your vibe for sure matches matches made merch out of it started a second channel out of it like there's so much monetization you can do out of it absolutely so and your youtube's at like 600k now right almost bro that is crazy in two years two years yeah that's impressive are you uh purely doing basketball on it or you got plans to expand so i am doing basketball right now but i just did an au tryout i don't know if you saw that but no i did um it was crazy you tried out no i did an au tryout You know, like Kim Walder, like, what the f ⁇ is he doing?

Yeah, yeah.

I just had my own tryout in my own city.

It was Friday?

Saturday?

No, it's, yeah.

Anyway, it was Friday, two days ago.

I swear to God, it was like an hour before we were pulling up.

And someone had DM me.

He was like, bro, there's nobody here.

I was like, f dude.

I was like, oh, this is the worst.

I get there, bro, the whole parking lot is.

Packed, bro.

Damn.

There's at least maybe 200 kids there.

And it was like a half court.

You know what I'm saying?

It wasn't like a full.

You didn't even have a full court?

Dude, no, because I didn't know how big it was going to be.

Like, I always underestimate how big I am.

Because, you know, like getting people to pull up somewhere and be a part of something is so hard.

Right.

You know what I'm saying?

But when I got there,

dude, there's so many people.

This was in Dallas?

Yeah, I was in Dallas, my own city.

Wow.

Yeah.

200 people.

And you can only pick what, 10?

I picked, yeah, I picked 10, but I already had four, so I only picked six.

Oh, that must have been tough.

Yeah, it was, dude.

Like, dude, I remember this kid, this kid's dad, like, checked me during the

he's like, maybe you should let my son try.

You know, he drove like seven hours away to see you.

And I'm like, like oh he just checked me like come on bro You know like one of the drills was making three in a row like in the corner, but thank God he only made two because that would have been hard to get him from San Antonio every

tournament like that.

Yeah, that's a far hike man.

Yeah, dude.

So it's like I am doing basketball and I will start will continue do the trolling but I am trying to do AAU

I'm trying to do obviously the girl shit because nobody does that.

Yeah.

And then on my second channel, I'm like pulling up to high schools and reacting to the youth games and all that and just really tapping into

doing like four or five things right now.

I love that.

Yeah, I think the league, the AAU stuff is dope because the overtime league's popping off right now.

That Eli Ellis kid, bro, dude, he's different, tough.

He's not even like tall, he's just, I don't know how he's doing it, honestly.

South Carolina, bro, commit.

It's crazy, yeah, he's raw.

Little brothers, too, good.

His brother's good, too.

Yeah, so he had a game winner.

I like those kids, man.

Tough, yeah.

You think they'll make it in uh hello?

Oh, yeah, dude.

Yeah, bro.

He's playing against like the top high schoolers right now.

That's true.

Hell yeah, yeah.

I think he'll do fine.

I think if he plays in a system, he'll do fine.

Yeah, but he's not going to be the the center of attention.

There's no way.

Yeah.

You follow the NBA heavy?

I keep an eye on it.

Why?

You don't got a team or anything?

Clippers.

Clippers.

Yeah.

They got a good squad this year.

Dude, hell yeah.

They might win it.

Let's just pray we can make it.

Hell yeah.

If they'll get it.

Yeah.

Please.

Like, please, Kawhi, please.

That injury curse was.

Bro.

They should have won with Griffin, dude.

CP.

Blob City, bro.

That's when I got hooked on him with CP3, JJ Reddick, Cron, Butler, Chauncey, Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes.

That team was nasty.

If they didn't get injured, they would have won at least one or two.

Dude, we blew like so many 3-1 leads, though.

Grizzlies, Rockets, I mean, Spurs, dude.

JJ's giving Doc some heat for that right now.

I don't know if you saw that.

Hell yeah, bro.

Cause he's not lying, though.

He never takes accountability for anything.

Like, bro, I even remember when we were blowing those 3-1 leads.

It was never his fault, bro.

It was like, why?

Like, you're like the focal point of the team.

You're the coach.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

You run the game plan.

Like, the game plan goes through you.

I saw Pat Bev talking about this.

He was saying he's too loyal sometimes.

So he'll put his boys in.

of course the vets in think about it he signed his son yeah you know what i'm saying like and he was coming off i mean granted he was doing good in the playoffs because he was coming off the bench like averaging like 15 or whatever during that series i don't know who they were playing this is years ago but i mean yeah he's he's like a he's like a favorite coach yeah for sure you like nba or uh college basketball better nba for sure i can't get it hip to college really even march madness you don't like it dude i i've tried like i got hip when zion was in yeah i think that was when i actually tried to like tap in and watch his games and stuff like that But nah, dude, NBA is more of that to me.

I feel that I actually like high school more than college.

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

We're talking about high school.

I'd watch high school all day.

Yeah.

Hell yeah, bro.

High school is super entertaining for some reason.

Especially because, like, the stands are so close, you know, so you feel like you're in a whole arena.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, all the players can hear you.

Yeah, like you can hear all the chirps and stuff like that.

You can hear the talking on the sideline.

It's really, dude, it's really cool.

Absolutely.

Which city do you like playing in the most?

Basketball?

Yeah.

Probably Dallas, right?

No, I'm not going to say Dallas because that's like, I'm always there.

I'd say

L.A.

L.A.

was cool.

L.A.

Venice.

Venice is fire, but no, we did like, I did like a park takeover there like last year in

August.

I don't remember.

It was with Kenny Chow and all that.

Oh, dope.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was like the best park takeover that I've done.

Okay.

That was fun.

Kenny can hoop a little bit, right?

No.

No?

No, Kenny's buns.

I'm glad you asked that.

Which cameraman?

Kenny Chow, you f ⁇ ing sucks.

Yo, he's probably watching this.

Good.

Good.

He's going to hear word for word, bar for bar.

Kenny, you're damn.

Did you play him in once?

Yes, I played him in once.

You lit him up?

No, he cheats, bro.

He's a cheater.

He beat you?

Yeah, bro.

He's a cheater, dude.

This is the finesse king, though.

He talks to Kenny.

This is the finesse king.

How do you cheat?

Well, when you win, he always wants to extend the score.

And then if he wins that extended score, you didn't win the game, period.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, he will finesse foul calls.

Three-pointers don't count.

Dude, it's Kenny Chow, bro.

Yeah.

The name should be like, oh, okay, I get you.

I feel that.

Yeah, fouls are so subjective in one-on-one.

Bro, yeah.

I remember we did this three-spot one-on-one

for his channel.

This is when I was first coming up.

Beat him in the wing, demolish him at the top of the queue, it's like 6-0.

He comes back 7-6, and it was just foul call after foul call.

It was like Kenny, bro.

Like, I don't want to be a d.

You know what I'm saying?

Cause it's my first time here.

But, like, bro, it's Kenny Chow.

I feel that.

That's all I can do.

Kenny Chow's a f, bro.

What about Hesse God?

Did you play against him yet?

Oh, my.

Did you see that clip?

No, I didn't.

What happened?

He smoked.

Okay, so I did a park take or a tour, like a Texas tour last year in April.

Yeah.

And San Antonio is one of the spots.

And he pulled up.

And

his manager, Action Jack, whatever, had like a blunt, like a lip blunt, like smoking it.

And Hezzy grabbed it, put it in his mouth, pause, was like

going back and forth and cooked me like during the whole crowd.

Like the whole crowd's watching this.

Smokes the blunt like while he's cooking my shit.

No way.

Viral, bro.

It's this pinned video, bro.

Bro, I gotta to watch that.

Dude, it's crazy, dog.

I was like, oh my god.

But the thing about me, which I really f with, which not taking away from Hezzy, because the clip was viral, is like, even when I get cooked like that, it's still cool for me to post.

You know what I'm saying?

Because I don't have that lane of serious hoops.

Wow.

You know what I'm saying?

So even when I get dunked on, my ankle's broken and all that, like, I still love posting that shit.

Damn.

Most people would not post.

I've never not posted nothing that's bad happened to me.

Yeah.

Never.

I feel like most people would never let that see light as well.

They'll probably cut it from the main video, honestly.

That was the focal point of the thumbnail.

Yeah, yeah, you know, like it was lit.

And then I posted on my Instagram, my YouTube, and all that, and it helps, bro.

You get a lot of love, too, doing that like this.

Because it's just honest, and it's like it's part of the game.

Like, you're going to get on sometimes.

You're not going to always look good.

Yeah.

Who are your favorite creators, basketball creators to watch right now?

Favorite creators?

DC Heat.

Okay.

I think he's doing some unique stuff.

I think that's the Mr.

Beast of basketball.

Yeah.

I could see that.

Respectfully.

I'd say next.

top.

You said top three?

Yeah.

Damn.

Chris White?

Not really.

No, like it's more.

That's like serious.

Yeah.

I'd say Frigga.

Okay.

Frigga.

Yeah, he mixes in a little.

Yeah.

Like, he's, he kind of does DC, but like, more so, like, street ball stuff, like with dressing up, like, superheroes and all that.

And then I guess a new one that's come up is J-Lu.

I haven't heard of that one.

J-Loo, yeah, frigga, put him on.

Oh, wait.

I think I might have.

Is he young?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Super shifty kid.

Oh,

bro like an insane like he's the one hooper I can watch that's like his own creator now that does serious hoops but I'm still entertained by it I feel that super super tough who's that one kid that just dribbles a f ⁇ ing tongue gos yeah have you played against him

dude that jokes yeah I played with him like in a park table when I was first coming up and he was cooking Curvodolo I don't know if you know Curvodolo was like a popping tick tocker at the time but yeah that kid that kid sucks bro I've we've chopped chopped it up about playing but I don't know i think it'd be boring he doesn't really have like a personality you know what i mean yeah i only know him for just dribbling yeah 50 funny kid though he's cool what do you think of the uh nba all-star game last week oh it's lame bro it's like

yeah boring they need to revamp it right yeah i feel like i feel like if there was a point limit

i think if like you go like first to 100

and then i say

playing defense is another thing yeah um

and then like maybe i feel like the draft was cool like when you had the captains, I like that.

I feel like that was really cool because it just makes someone competitive.

Like, damn, if this guy didn't pick me, like, damn, I'm trying to go at him now.

You know, like, it builds that subconscious aggression to want to beat him.

Like, Anthony Edwards, like, said that.

You know what I'm saying?

When someone didn't pick him or whatever, like, he wanted to just go at him.

You know what I'm saying?

I missed the draft.

Yeah.

I remember that one year they picked hard and last.

Yeah.

There you go.

Perfect example.

Yeah.

Clowning him.

So it's like, bro, that's your chance to go shut these people up.

You know what I mean?

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

You play in a lot of celebrity games?

I just did in Cleveland.

Yes.

I was out there.

Oh, you did the NBA one?

Yeah.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Wait, what?

No, it was like for a charity thing, like Bobby Gibson or something like that.

Got it.

But

it was like freaking DC Heats little thing, too.

Dope.

But it was cool.

NBA had one, I think.

I think Tristan.

Did Tristan Jasper play?

Oh, you're talking about that one?

No.

No, I didn't play in that one.

Yeah, Tristan Cook, though.

You got to play in that one next year.

Dude, I hope so.

That'd be dope.

You got to hit up Tristan.

Have you done anything with Tristan?

No, but that's a cool creator, too.

Yeah, I like what he does.

Fire.

Genuine, dude.

He's got handles, and those trick shots are nasty, dude.

Yeah, dude.

I feel like that brand-friendly sh ⁇ is so, like, good.

That's how you make money.

Yeah.

Yeah, because now any sponsor can knock on his door.

Bro, this kid's probably making so much money.

Millions.

Like, YouTube is probably, like, piss money to him.

Yeah.

You know?

So that's what I'm trying to do.

Like, with the AU stuff, like, I'm trying to at least go, like, the brand-friendly route just a little bit.

You get any good sponsors yet?

Yeah, I've gotten a couple of brand deals.

Like, the Mavericks one was like the coolest one so far.

I just sit in courtside, and that was with my homie, too.

I did some with DraftKings earlier in the playoff last year in the playoffs when they started, nice, and then I did some Blue Chew.

It's like, okay, yeah, I don't know if you heard of that.

No, I have, yeah, so I haven't used it, but I've seen them.

I've seen it, bro.

It works.

Yeah, it works.

Yeah, yeah, it works.

It works.

It works.

Hell yeah.

That stuff scares me because I know it works, but how long do you really want to be in that position?

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

You're going to stay in there for a good, maybe an hour, just depending on, you know, like the type of guy you are.

But yeah, you take one of those,

you're in there, bro.

We'll end off with uh who you think your goat is all time basketball yeah

like nba nba

dude this this will probably get a lot of views so my goat this is my goat

i'm gonna say lebron okay i didn't watch jordan growing up so like i can't say that you know what i mean i say lebron okay yeah that's a good answer because you you literally didn't see him so you're just yeah basing it off your perspective yeah but like if i'm going off the last dance i mean dude like jordan's like that's my name too so it's like but no lebron LeBron's go.

10.

You got to think about this, bro.

10 years in a row.

That's like a decade.

You know what I'm saying?

Going to the NBA Finals.

Just going.

I mean, yeah, he lost, but how the fing can you get?

Like, people always on him when he has people to play with.

Yeah.

But then on him even more when he doesn't win with like players.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Those Cavs teams were.

Bro, like, you're not going to win with a Galskis and Verichau as your center, bro.

Or who else is the shooting guard?

Like, you don't even know.

Like, I don't even know.

I could have named four people on that team.

Yeah.

But, I mean, it does does suck that he did lose with the Heat twice, right?

It was twice.

Lost against the Spurs.

Oh, yeah, twice.

Twice.

And the Mavs.

Yeah, the Mavs.

The Mavs one was bad.

That was bad.

He should have won that one.

He shot like pissed.

But my gosh, LeBron.

I filled up.

Yours?

LeBron.

You think he'll get another one before he retires?

Absolutely.

I think it'll be this year.

This year?

Yeah.

Or not even in the playoffs right now.

Bro, it's LeBron, dude.

They weren't even in the playoff talk last year on this time, and they made it to, what, the conference?

Yeah, semis.

And they got swept, though.

Nuggets are.

Granted, it was by, you know, like the winning team.

Yeah.

The Nuggets.

But, bro, it's brawn, dude.

Like, you're not, you're not, you're not a first round.

I feel that.

You're a Clippers fan, though.

Absolutely.

They're looking nice this year.

Hell yeah.

I think if they stay healthy.

Bro, we got it.

Yeah.

We got it.

I wouldn't be mad about it.

They haven't even been to the finals.

I like seeing new teams win.

No, bro.

But it's all up to PG and Kawhi and Russ.

Absolutely.

I've been peeping that PG podcast.

Yeah.

Yeah, that s ⁇ fire.

That's fire.

It is fine.

I love that shit.
