Grady: I Played Basketball Barefoot and Got Kicked Out…Here’s Why! | DSH #1627

I know LeBron gets another one. It's in this contract.
Like, he's getting two more. Because, like, all these guys have contracts, right? So, okay, this guy's gonna be a superstar.

We're gonna sign him to a max contract. In that max contract, he is entitled to one NBA championship on the shoe deal and multi-millions of dollars.

However, in the process, he has to get publicly made fun of in the media. It's all media-based, all business.
You know what I'm saying? I know it's like WWE. 100%.
Everything's scripted.

Anything that makes quantillions of bajillions of quantillions of dollars is scripted.

Okay, guys, we got a Vegas local on today. We got Grady.
I've played some hoots with him a few times, right? Yes, sir. Yeah, it's good to see you in a podcast setting.

You've been balling a lot lately? You know, I've been balling here and there. Try to get, you know, keep my body right.

You know, I don't want to just show up one day and not be able to shoot the same. You know, I don't want to do that.
That's what you're known for, shooting. I mean, and that's what pays the bills.

Like, my jump shot, like, people in high school would never say this, but Grady Farrick, your jump shot pays the bills. So I'm just happy to be here, man.
Honestly, I'm just happy. I'm just stoked.

Yeah, thanks for coming on, man. You've been hooping for a while, though, like your whole life.
I've been hooping since I was in fifth grade, man. I've been hoping since I'm in fifth grade, bleeding.

Yeah, so it's in my DNA, bro. You got to a good level.
I looked you up. You played in high school, right? I played in high school.
My high school team won the Section 6 championship during COVID.

Like, we would have gone to states and probably won, but just COVID shut it down. Was that a private school or public? Public.
Oh, so we were playing against everybody. Playing against everybody.

And were you a starter?

No comments?

I started occasionally. Okay.
You know, when I wasn't in trouble or when I wasn't,

you know,

not showing up to practice or whatever the case may be. Oh, so you were a little bit of a troublemaker.
I try to, dude, I feel like I was never a troublemaker, but trouble was just drawn to me, bro.

I feel like trouble was just like...

Like anytime like I was just having fun every the whole school could be having fun, but they're gonna be like yo Grady

Let's make let's make a scapegoat out of you and get you in trouble. And that happened a lot, honestly.
You were the fall guy? Always the fall guy. Always the fall guy.

And it never made sense to me, bro. It wasn't fair.
So you didn't speak up for yourself. Bro, you know what? I should have.

I should have spoken up more when I younger Grady should have been like, yo, get all them too. They're all screwing off, you know? What's the worst thing you did?

I pulled a fire alarm when I was in high school. You pulled a fire alarm? Got suspended for five days.
I had to pass a drug test to get back into school. Oh, you're crazy.
Yeah.

I never did anything like that. I got a restraining order from the librarian.
Damn. That's it.
That's all I got. So, you were annoying her, us.

Here's the thing: uh, I would get in trouble at lunch, and me and my buddy Pate, uh, calling the leader, and we would go up to the library after getting kicked out of lunch, and we would like just hang out.

There was spinny chairs just like this. We'd play Mario Kart, run her, like, drive around the library.
Uh, we played, we didn't like the library, we played Jaws music, like the bonana.

We're like following her around. Uh, she didn't like that, man.
So, she had, she got tired of it and uh

got her, got some paperwork done. I feel like librarians are hard to please.

But I also feel like that they're easiest to please, too.

Well, the only way to please them is to stay silent. Really? So if you're loud, you're just naturally going to piss them off.
True. Wow.
I didn't even think about that.

I was like the biggest predator for a librarian's piece. Exactly.
Damn. Because you seem like someone that's pretty active.
I was. I was very active, bro.
You need a lot of stimulation, right?

Dude, if I wasn't getting the stimulation, bro, I was, I think I might have been causing trouble, honestly. You might have had ADHD or something.
Oh, no, no, no, I don't think it's a mite.

I definitely 100% have ADHD. You never got diagnosed? No,

I got diagnosed. I have, I definitely have ADHD, but I never got medicine for it.
My parents were just like, yo, like, you got to figure this out.

Honestly, respect. Yeah, like, I appreciate it.
Cause like, I didn't want medication to, because I've known kids that had ADHD and they were just like,

when they were on medication, they just weren't the same. Like, they just weren't the same, like, like, kid.
I mean, yeah, it numbs you out. Literally, like, um, but there was one kid.

It was actually funny. Um,

his name, we'll call him Brady. We'll call him Brady just for the fun of it.
He had ADHD, ADHD, too, and he was like the opposite of me. Like,

I was not medicated, and I was always like, happy-go-lucky, just having fun. He was on medicine, and then he was like super angry, like beat people up all the time.
Damn. Yeah, he was crazy, man.

Holy crap. He threw a kid in the trash can, by the way.
Damn. And let me tell you, this is why it's BS to me.
I'm in the lunchroom.

I get in trouble for just having a rap battle. This dude, just because he is better than me at sports, gets to throw kids in trash cans and he doesn't get in trouble at all.
Was he the star player?

He was. He was goaded.
He was, he was dumb nice at sports. At ball or football? Everything, bro.
Damn. Jesus beast.
It was interesting to see the respect of certain sports in high school. True.

The hierarchy of sports. Yeah.
Yeah, I was a track athlete. We got no respect.
Oh, yeah, you don't get no love, bro. Yeah, we get shit on it.

But you're on the scale. We're on the scale.

we're above band students but we're near the bottom of the sports scale oh i i think you're way above band students bro track and field i mean we're just known as running around a track how fast were you though i was a distance runner so we got the least respect sprinters get more yeah like spritz yeah sprita is like oh i need to see who wins this race but i don't really care about you running like five times around the track 5k no one's watching that no one's giving you flowers exactly no one's coming to the game no one's wearing your jersey for that even i respect sprinters more than distance runners and i'm a distance runner it's a cold world we we live in bro we gotta do we gotta we gotta change things up around here yeah i mean the girls are attracted to what they are

um you know they don't dude the feet the the uh the male gaze um

it's it or the female gaze whatever whatever gaze bro it's just like um you just gotta rock what you're doing i feel like that's what it is i feel like whatever you're doing you just gotta like

really like like ball out like noah lyles like he's a what he's a he's a sprinter though yeah yeah so not totally the same but like he has if he had more swag he'd get a lot more like he'd have a lot more aura bro straight up he just had more aura because he was like i saw a clip of him he was like like noah what was the what was the most uh like the best trash talk you ever did and he was like sometimes i look over to my right and i say hey buddy i'm feeling fast today i hope they can catch up like that's trash bro no one that does that that that brings down the track and field respect because then you have guys like lebron that are just like like they block it off the backboard and like get that shit out of here.

And that's way more tough. Yeah, I feel way more tough.
Like, you can't compete, bro. Are you a big trash hawker on the court? I let my games speak, bro.
I don't like to talk before games.

I really only stand, I really only speak up when I feel like there's an injust situation, bro. Like when I feel like there's no, like, I have to get involved.
Yeah.

And then it's like, yo, I got to get involved, bro. So when you were playing without shoes, did you speak up?

No, bro. Dude, Rod Waverley kicked me out of the event.
They booted me from the venue. I'm not sure why.
I'll have to speak to Cam Wilder about that personally.

But yeah, they kicked me out, so I threw my shoes into the crowd because I'm here for the kids, bro.

Like, if I can't go out there and troll and make someone laugh in the crowd, then I'm getting kicked out. Then I'll just give you some shoes then.
I don't care.

And you just stayed silent while you were playing without shoes? Stay quiet. I didn't say a word, bro.
I was mic'd up in the video, and I didn't really talk that much. Damn.
I didn't even talk.

Dude, there's not much to say when you're hooping without shoes on, bro. There's not much to say.
There's not. Yeah, I mean, you can't really say much, I guess.
No, not at all.

So, because you can't jump as high, your shots off. No, oh my god, my feet hurt so bad.
My bad.

You're running bone on floor. Not good.
I mean, I don't, I'm not jumping too much, so you know, I save myself a little bit. Can you dunk,

dude? I can dunk

on a smaller rim. Eight-foot rim, but I have dunked before.
I've dunked on 10 before.

No way.

Listen, okay, there was a court, my it was my hometown court called Highland, and the court is like it's like 9.5 low-key and i've dunked there okay so nine and a half that's all about and that's and and and then to be honest

like that means a lot to me bro

dunking feels good dude

i'm sorry sean

because dunking to me man like as a white man it's my dream bro So I get emotional talking about like, I do, bro.

I get emotional talking about dunking because like, like the air is different up there. You've dunked.
Everyone remembers their first dunk. You've dunked.
I've dunked. How does the air taste?

It's different. It tastes different.
And I've never, I've never tasted it.

Maybe one day, man.

You got to work on your vert, my man. I showed Speed just did a vert test.
He's jumping 40 inches, man. Dude, I showed Speed came to Vegas and he didn't check in with any of us.

How are you not going to check in?

He did a lot in Vegas in that 24-hour period. And he didn't come on the pod? Nah.
Speed, bro.

Darren. Is that his name?

Darren Watkins. Damn, Doc.

Why are you not coming to the pod, bro? One day, one day. One day.
He's on another level.

Day.

I don't know if I ever want to be on that level. He different.
He is different. When you got to move with that much security, it's almost like, shit, do I want to be that famous? I don't.

You don't want to be that famous? Kanye level. Kanye level? I would like to be Kanye level success, but I don't want the fame that comes with it, bro.

I feel like that's an antithesis statement or like an oxymoron statement when you want both, but you can't have it or something.

Yeah, man.

I want the success and

I want the respect on your name. Like, yo, that Grady Ferrick guy, he cooked with that.

But I don't want the... Oh, that's Grady Ferrick on the street.
Let's go mob his ass for photos. The fanboy kind of vibe.
Not doing that, bro. I don't want that.
Yeah, I don't mind people stopping me.

It's happening more often, but the fanboy vibe is weird to me.

my only thing is I love supporters that come up and ask for photos and say catchphrases like I'm about whatever cuz DNA, whatever, whatever they want to say is awesome. But yeah, man, when

they're just looking at you and they're not saying anything, like you're a cross, bro, imagine like you're just walking across the mall and you see a dude just like staring at you.

Like you don't know if he's looking at you because maybe he thinks you're sweet and he's going to rob you or maybe he's watched your videos and is scared to ask for a photo.

There's just a lot of things going through your mind.

Time and place, right? Exactly.

I was at Whole Foods, the new one, and Keith Lee was there, and he was with his girl and two kids. Keith Lee, yo, love Keith Lee.
That's a good dude. He's a good dude.
That's a great dude.

I saw him come from the bottom all the way, too. Well, he's from Detroit.
He's from Flint, I think. Flint, Michigan.
Yeah, so he came. Wait, oh, yeah, Detroit.

I think he came from the bottom of the bottom, bro. And he was, and then he started boxing.
And then, bro, I think his highlight of his career, though, was he got to play me in basketball.

Oh, you played him? Yeah, I fried him, bro. No, you didn't.
Oh, yeah, I fried Keith Lee. You played one-on-one or five-on-five? We played five on five, and I had his number the whole game.

Me and him were going back and forth. It was like, it was iconic.
It was an iconic matchup, honestly. And yeah, man,

I got the better of him that day. We're going to have to set it up again.
Was he nice, though?

He was a nice human. He was a nice human.
Not nice on the court.

Yeah, man. Keith needs to work on his game.
He do. He needs to work on that.
I'm sure the food reviews pay better. Oh, yeah, dude.
If I was Keith Lee, bro, you don't have to. Dude, stay home, bro.

Just go, just go, just go, just chill out, eat, stick your feet up, bro. He's big time now.
He's got Chipotle deals. He's got...
Good for him, man. Yeah, big companies.
So shout out to him.

Who would have thought you could do that off TikTok?

I didn't. When TikTok first got invented or was dropped and I was like a freshman in high school, and I was seeming like, yo, like, this could be the next volume.

I would swear to, swear to goodness, I thought it was going to be huge. I knew it was going to be be huge, but I was too scared to post my videos.
Damn. Too scared.
I was too scared, bro.

And I wish, now that I'm like a content creator, like officially, now that I'm like literally a guy that is producing content online, I wish I would have started when I was that young.

I was scared too, to be honest. Bro, it's scary to post your stuff, bro.
You're still in school. People are judging you.
Oh, school is the worst.

We were talking about the hierarchy of sports in school. No, no, no.
The hierarchy of school in general is awful.

Where were you on that hierarchy?

I was him, bro. I was him.

Kind of, sort of. I had my, I had my moments of him.
Yeah. And then I had my moments of the jokester, the loser, you know, just like everyone, I feel like.
All right. Ebbs and flows.

Yeah, I feel like in high school, I definitely was,

at least I tried to be friends with majority of anyone, majority of everybody.

Like I hung out with, obviously, the kids on the basketball team and then the kids that stayed up all night playing video games. And, you know, those are, those are, I,

I went home a couple, like a couple weeks ago, said hello to those guys. You know, still friends to this day.

I feel like throughout my whole life, and I'm sure about this about you, don't mean to speak for you, but I feel like we surround ourselves with good people. Yeah.

And that's like a talent within itself. You have to.
Yeah. It's important.
I mean, that's why you live with the guys you live with now, right? You're trying to get to that top level.

Yeah, I live with YPK and Mecca and Armani and Connection Productions.

He got, do, let me tell you something about Connection Productions, right? This kid, he's from Baton Rouge. Like, he's from literally

from nowhere, right? He comes here.

First week, he's like yo dude i gotta do something crazy he gets his own logo tatted on his wrist so like like he's like because he's a graphic designer yeah so every time he's with like a celebrity or someone he just holds up his hand no way and like he just puts his logo up bro it's so smart and he will dude and what he wants to do is he wants to like digitize it to make it like a qr code that you can scan oh my god so like that anyone that like sees him can like go into his um

like go to his website and like like like order work or whatever that's savage yeah some QR code attached to you. And it's huge, bro.

It's huge. Oh, my God.
I feel like that over time, you got to keep getting it done, though. Oh, yeah, he needs a touch-up for surely.
He needs, yo, Peyton, you got to get a touch-up, bro. That's nice.

You got to get a touch-up.

So you play in the league in LA. You're playing out here in the runs.
What's the main focus these days? Main focus is definitely expanding the Grady brand. So

playing basketball. I love basketball.
Like I said, it's part of my life. But working on my music, working on my design.

My girlfriend is a beautiful model justice reality uh she's going to be in la fashion week this week she got yeah she got invited to new york fashion week uh the other week um i bro one day i would like to design clothes for her you know one day i i i'm surrounded with creative people like mecca he wants to do clothes as well like collaborate with him like just combine stuff make ideas and just honestly just make just make as much cool stuff as possible whether that's a song whether that's a piece of piece of clothing whether that's uh

whether that's a funny skit comedy skit i don't know whatever that may be walk me through the the fit right now. Well, so I'm feeling like this.
I'm feeling the old, feeling nostalgic today.

So I got my old money fit on. I got turtleneck, True Eye Vitamins Chain, man.
Shout out to the brand. I got my little sweater on because it's a little nippy out.
And I got my slacks on.

I got my slacks on right here. You went all out.
Hey, man.

And I got the lemon pepper. Where are my lemon pepper suppers at, man? Let's go, man.
Where the camera's at, but if y'all can see, I got them on. So fashion's a big part of your life?

Dude,

I feel like I'm not the best, like the best, I'm not the best best dress like like uh ypk ray man he comes out the house and he's trim yeah uh he comes out the house and he's trim he's got a like a fresh fit on but like when you're like like the thing is like i live with this dude right

so i'm probably not gonna outdrip him just because he got more money than me he's got more swag and he's and he's black

it's hard for a white dude to outswag a black i didn't want to say it but and is and i and i will say it because i understand now with that being said if i can't be the best then i'm either i might as well well just put on whatever the hell I want, whatever.

So, honestly, that's the explains the grandpa fit today. But as long as I got the chain on, bro, this is real rose gold, man.
Really? This is my first brand.

This is my first brand I ever worked with, bro. Like, ever.
They worked with me when I had 500 followers on TikTok, bro. Holy crap.
500 followers. Dude, your grandma could get 500 followers on TikTok.

And they took a chance on me. And they got me a chain, bro.
So, man, True Eye Vitamins, man, they're my damn respect.

Like, you know what what i'm saying how much you at on tick tock now uh i'm at uh like 300 000 on tick tock and but am i uh i'm at 350k on ig solid you just hit five million views this week on a video see that's the thing man about these videos man you got to be careful what you go famous for because in this situation of this video that you had just recently went viral i'm just getting my dick grabbed

and that's Is that good? So you were just filming by chance and it. Oh, yeah, my boy Mecca, he's always clowning me.

He's like, he's like the friend in high school that like something's embarrassing is happening to you. And he's just like has his phone out and he's like, yo, dude.

You know what I'm saying? He's just trolling you. So he was just trolling me.
And now that video is going, that goes, that's going crazy. Damn.
You're going to follow charges or what? Listen, bro.

Are we going to follow charges? Yeah. Because I don't know.

Hey, off-camera stuff. Yeah, we both admitted that we both had a problem.
Same guy at the Vegas airport

hit me. It was like,

shout out that guy. He's just doing his job.
Bro, it was 5 a.m. It totally caught me off guard.
My girl was watching. I felt a little embarrassed.
I was soft, to be honest. So I don't know what it is.

That's good, at least. Yeah, it could have been weirder.
It could have been weird. Imagine popping something there.
Yeah. Embarrassing, man.
Got to control that. Got to control your brain.
Felt this.

Maybe, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe one day he caught someone hiding something there.
So he had a couple checks.

Yeah, like one day he caught, like, some dude had a huge bomb and he saved the world. So now every time that...

something alerts he just makes sure to make sure that there's not a bomb in there yeah i didn't have a bomb in there yeah i didn't have shit though no i didn't have shit.

Was that your most viral video? No, no, my most viral video, um, probably right now is I'm about whatever cuz.

Uh, just like Cam Wilder, yet again, me and Cam, dude. I love Cam Wilder, bro.
I got a lot of respect for that dude, but I don't know. He's just been moving a little funny recently with me, man.

He, you know, did he get too big time for you? I think, I think something happened

along the line with Cam where, you know,

you know, he just, he, he's getting too big for his bridges. But I'd be too big for for my bridges too if I was, if I was balling out the way he's balling out.
He's balling. He's balling out.

He's balling out so much. Like, I don't think people understand this about basketball.

AAU is not that lucrative.

AAU is a pretty good business, but he has not only

found his way into that lane, but he's changed the business. He's pioneered a new path for a bunch of other creators that want to do AAU.

And he's just made so much impact to the basketball community and culture that I guess he deserves to be a little big for his brigade.

Yeah, I guess when you revolutionize a whole industry, you get a little

big. But no, I'm just, I'm just a little salty because he kicked me out, man.
But

I get it, though. He doesn't, I don't think he likes the whatever cuz.
I don't think he likes the whatever cuz. I know DeAdrian Hardin liked it.
That was cool. He co-signed it.

And then Theo Vaughn co-signed the whatever cuz stuff.

So yeah, anytime you get like those really big names that have that much respect to like say, hey, this was funny. You know, you're on the right path to

what you want to do in life. I feel like.

what did he do for aau i haven't been following it cam wilder dude i mean he's just giving kids so much opportunity and exposure to not only like play at the next level but to make a personal brand for yourself like dude you play a raw way of valet and you're a three-star athlete um

you not only might get a college interest but you might only get some nil sponsorships you can now do something for your family that you might not have been done he's just giving he's just giving another option bro and that's something that I, like, he's, Cam's inspired me because I'm partnering with this guy.

He works with this brand called Athlete Narrative. I don't know how much you know about NCAA sports recruitment, but it's a

athlete narrative is like an alternative to that. So it's going to be like a social media platform for athletes that want to go play college or play professionally or play some type of sport.

That could be basketball, could be football, could be anything. Just play at that next level competitively.
And we're just making it like

an easier, an easier way to get to that level. Far.
Yeah.

So so i'm i'm stoked for that i'll have my little uh icon in the app that you can download and be like grady will help you out trying to get recruited man it's got it because that's really what i'm here for i realized like bro like con like making content and stuff is cool but you got to have purpose and i feel like my purpose is just trying to like help like just make kids lives better it's like just like yeah if i can make you laugh i can if i can make you smile if i could help you if i could put you on game to like do what you want to do like even this like doing like a podcast like if i were to like bro putting me on a podcast that's fire bro now i now i have a chance to talk and like yeah this is your first one right it's my first ever podcast bro crazy first ever podcast yeah because i was preparing for this episode and i go on youtube look up grady pods never bro first one you've definitely been offered though you turned them down swear to goodness bro you're the only one dude i dude nobody listen i i the only like jack like saying yo trev i don't even like bro i'm not sponsored by another brand i'm not sponsored by anybody else i don't do any collaborations all i do is hang out with mecca ray my girlfriend and uh make videos and just just hang out bro damn i'm surprised you gonna get tens of millions of views i know i'm i'm underground i feel like i'm like the uh i'm like ken carson on soundcloud before playboy cardi signed him to opium yes damn what a good example right shout out ken carson by the way shout out ken shout out to ken shout out ken i got a list of five names here okay cool i want to want to see uh if you played them one-on-one who do you think would win okay cool i like this So let's start with, we'll start with an easier one because there's some good people on this list.

Not so Air Jordan. Oh, that's my guy? Cooking him, frying him.
You think he's? He's too skinny, man.

Love him, though. He's a great father.
Great father, great husband, great man. Cooking him one-on-one.
I'm sorry, Jordan. Julian Newman.
Julian Newman, Las Vegas local. Love Julian Newman.
Too short.

Sorry, Jew.

Hey, but he can box, so I can't talk too much shit. He might piece me up.
Do you box? Oh, Julian Newman can. Julian Newman has hands.

People talk shit. They don't understand that, like, he could really do some damage to you, bro.
No wonder you could be getting in some fights. Yeah, man, bro.
He just beat G.O.I.s.

at the Aiden Ross boxing event. Shout out Aiden Ross.
If Aiden Ross wants to sponsor a boxing match between me and Sean Kelly, that we can make that happen. I'll have to cut weight, but, you know.

Gio Wise, that was my next person. Geo Wise, I'm sorry.
I love Geo. I just played with him last week.
I was playing barefoot.

Sold with him. It's cook.
I'm cooking Geo. He could dribble, though, right? That's about it.
So

that's how I feel. Let's get a little tougher now.
Caitlin Clark. Caitlin Clark, I love my women hoopers.
I love my women hoopers. I love the WNBA.
I support everything they do.

I love how they're grinding. I love Angela Reese.
Caitlin Clark, I'm sorry, but you're getting cooked. You think you could actually beat her? Dude, because I'm a man.
Like, I'm physically stronger.

Like, bro, I'm like backing her down. And I'm not a trash man.
I can really shoot the basketball sometimes, maybe, occasionally. And maybe occasionally that day, I have a good day.
So, Kaylin Clark,

I'm picking me, bro. I love Kaylin Clark, though.
Okay. What about a bigger woman like Angel Reese? Oh,

big mama, Angel Reese, man.

Dude, she wants it bad, though. Like, I say Kaylin Clark, I'm going to beat because I don't think she she cares that much.
I think Angel Reese cares that much. She's got a chip on her shoulder.

Yeah, she does.

I got me over Angel Reese, bro. Close game? Close game, though.
It's like, that's pay-per-view. That's not free on YouTube.
That's like Devontae Freegie. He's set up on next chapter, bro.

If you're watching this, Angel, let us know. We'll set it up.
Angel, I really don't want the smoke. I'm really about that.
You got it.

Hey, keep working, Angel. I don't want it.
Now, the king of ones at the moment, MK. You think you could take MK?

Hey, MK wants that work, bro. He knows where to find me.
That'd be a good one. I would love that.

I would fry him, bro, because his name, I feel like MK, he's very talented, but he just plays basketball

not the right way. And I just, I have a lot more respect for the game of basketball than he does.
And

yeah, man.

I would really like to put that guy in his place. You know, he follows too much? Yeah, he follows too much.
He's disrespectful. He's got all these fans coming out to this game, supporting him.

And he has the nerve to disrespect them and treat them all types of ways. Man, that's not cool, man.
Like, I would, if I knew all those folks would come, bro, I'd bring them water bottles out.

No, I'm signing, I'm taking pictures. Yeah,

I'm doing something cool. I'm giving him true-right vitamin supplements.
I'm doing something to the, like, to, for the fans, and he's just disrespectful, man.

Well, in two weeks, uh, I'm gonna set that up for you. Really? Yeah, he'll be in Vegas in two weeks.
So, by the time this airs, I think you guys will have already played. Okay, MK.

What's your score prediction? Because he plays to five.

i think he gets that i i think i think five i think he gets a dunk on you i think it's i well i think he gets a dunk on me five one i think it's that dunk gets the crowd all going and then it goes show i'm like you start lighting it up like

are you serious bro you know what i'm saying like it gets it gets serious so i've seen you get hot i've seen you get hot out there i've seen you get hot out there man

Rarely, but yeah, it'll happen.

Last night I had a good game. How many points do you have? I went five for five, five, ten points.
Oh, you're lying. No, I swear to God.
Yeah, lifetime tracks a stab. Let me see your arm, bro.

Yeah, I got scratched

on a rebound. Dude, and the guy said he didn't follow me.
That's the funny part when you have blood and they're like, yeah, I didn't follow you. I didn't touch you, bro.
Chuck ball. Yeah.

Yo, what are you talking about? What are you talking about right now, bro?

Literally.

All right. How many points did you score in an NBA game? I think I could score six.

I think I could score six in any environment in the world. I feel like my game doesn't change.

I feel like I'm so comfortable within myself and my game that I'm just running corner if defense slips off. Because realistically, anyone could score in the NBA.

There's this like narrative that like the NBA is impossible to score on. Like, oh, these guys are too good.
These guys are extremely talented. But dude, they don't play that hard of defense.

Not in the regular season. Yeah, not in the regular season.

Bro, if you subbed in Joe Schmo that from LA Fitness that can shoot decently, there's a chance that if you subbed him in the game and just said, hey, run to the corner. I'm going to kick you.

I'm going to kick out and shoot it. All right, then he might hit it.

Hey, by the way, if any other NBA teams are listening that want to try out that theory with me,

I'm open for a 10-day contract. You should film at a tryout, see how many points you can score.
I've filmed at a Phoenix Suns shop before me and Mecca did. They were looking into us.
Did you score?

Yeah, man, we do. We played up.
We scrimmaged. We shot around.
We did a lot of stuff. And at the end of the day, they were really thinking about signing Mecca.

No, Mecca actually is a, like, Mecca and Ray literally have gotten offered by the G League, by the NBA G League. Yeah, they've been offered by the NBA G League to play.

They've been offered by pro teams to play. These guys are legit basketball players, man.
Like they, like, they're real hoopers.

I just feel like if content wasn't there, if content didn't happen, like, who knows where they could be professionally? They're probably making more off content, to be honest.

Like,

even international, they're not paying anything crazy these days. No, I might go play in Russia, though.
The bag's nice.

Dude, my boy Ty Glover. I know Ty.
Yep. He plays in Russia and he's like, yo, Grady, like, I see potential in you.
Like, let's go hoop in Russia. And I'm going to get my body right.

I'm going to get my head right. I'm going to get everything right.
Learn some Russian. Dude, I'm going to be an ambassador for Russia, bro.
I'm going to be an American ambassador, and

I'm going to create world peace and bring everyone.

Because that's what basketball is, bro. Basketball is literally the great peacemaker.
No other sport in the world do you have Crips and Bloods playing together on the same court.

You don't have it, like, that, listen, it's funny, but it's seriously, bro, the Drew League. I love the Drew League.
Shout out to the Drew League. Shout out, Smiley.
Shout out the Commissioner.

Basketball is, it's the only thing that, like, you could literally, like, bro, you could be, you could be at each other's throat and then next week you're playing against each other or you're on the same team and you're just like and you're just treating people like human beings, bro.

And you're not treating nobody like the color of what they jack or what their political or religious background is and that's why basketball is great because between that between those four lines bro it's just hoops i feel uh

it's hoops bro that's why that's why me and you get to play basketball bro and like get to have fun bro and like it's all and nobody's like but you know what people still do look at us a little way like asian and white dude they're like we're not giving him the ball i still get picked lost yeah even even six seconds hold on let me rephrase you have to be a good crip or good blood in order to get the ball though and like and actually play it so you gotta be nice but it but my point still stands true you know,

it's the culture breaker. You ever play street ball and you're like, shit, this is sketchy?

Yeah,

all the time.

All the time. We're at in Vegas or not?

I played in Buffalo. I'm from Buffalo, New York.
Go Bill. Shout out to the Buffalo Bills.
They're running the Super Bowl. Is sketchy out there in Buffalo? It gets sheisty, bro.
It gets sheisty, bro.

If you know, bro, if you know, if you know, you know, bro. Buffalo, bro.
Buffalo. Yo, I'm telling you, Buffalo is, bro, it's like a, bro, we, we, we, we got murders, bro.

We, we got, we, I think we lead.

I'm talking to like its stats, like we lead the league in murders. No, but like, nah, we don't lead the league, bro.
We're like top 10, though. In Buffalo, yeah, dude.

But this is the craziest thing about Buffalo, right? Buffalo has its crime, as every city does.

But when the Buffalo Bills win a game, we win on Sunday. We beat the Miami Dolphins.
Crime rate drops down 50% when the Buffalo Bills win. Holy shit.
When the Buffalo Bills win,

dude,

dude, people stop stealing. People stop looting.
People stop beating each other up. People stop a lot of shit because they're so happy that Josh Allen just won us the fucking game, dude.
Yeah.

Buffalo, dude. Bills mafia.
Bills mafia, bro. Are you part of that? Yes, I'm part of the Bills Mafia.
Hell yes, bro. Hell yes, Sean.
I've seen videos of it. Dude, we're winning the Super Bowl.

I love the Raiders, but it's Bill. It's Raiders for us, dude.
Let's be honest. But Bills, they always make it far.
Bills are like that. They always make the playoffs.
Hey, Josh Allen, man.

If you know, you know. He's him.
He's him.

He's him. He's him, bro.
He's that guy. What do you think of the Al Horford trade to the Warriors? Al Horford trade to the Warriors.
I actually didn't hear about that. He's 39.

He's going to be their starting center. Al Horford to the Warriors.
I think the Warriors are a trash organization ever since they got rid of Jordan Poole, so I really don't give a damn what they do.

They seem like they never were as good. Dude, because they got, because Draymond Green, apparently, like, I don't know what he's got going on there.

He might have said that he'll punch everyone in the organization's face if they don't do what they want.

But this, if I'm Curry, I'm pissed at Draymond because it's like, I feel like you screwed up my chances at another championship.

Hey, man.

I think if they kept Poole, they might have won another chip or two. Hell yeah.
Jordan Poole's dumb nice, bro. That's the OG Betty effect.
Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He's dumb nice.
Yeah.

You think Braun gets another one? I know LeBron gets another one. It's in his contract.
Yeah. It's in his contract.
He's getting two more.

LeBron has to win two more.

It's like, because all these guys, they have contracts, right? So boom. Like, you'll have a dude, like, okay, this guy's going to be a superstar.
We're going to sign him to a max contract.

In that max contract, he is entitled to one NBA championship on a shoe deal and multi-millions of dollars.

However, in the process, he has to get publicly made fun of in the media and scrutinized and you know, stuff like that. It's all, it's all media-based, all business.
You know what I'm saying?

You think it's scripted? I know it's scripted. WWE.
100%. Everything's scripted.

Anything that, bro, anything that makes quantillions of bajillions of quandillions of dollars is scripted i don't know if people understand this at least at some

it's regulated yeah it's regulated i mean ever since sports betting became legal i feel like there's so much money involved in sports now dude listen bro you could bet on the gator color you could bet on points in the first quarter you could bet on anything just where is where's this the true love of the game Where's the, hey, I don't need to put money on it.

I just love the game. That's dead.
That's dead. That's sad.
Sad. If people are watching, they're betting these days.

It's sad, bro. I don't bet on the Buffalo Bills, bro.
I just, because I love the Buffalo Bills too much. I love them too much, bro.
I don't bet. You think Kawhi Lennon's going to have a good season?

If he plays, man, if he's healthy,

you know, if he's healthy,

he's great.

LeBron or MJ?

LeBron James. LeBron Ramon James.
You think he's better? I know he's better.

Bro, come on. I saw a clip the other day.

I don't know if we can pull up clips, but Michael Jordan does this like over the bottom, like over the to the basket other side reverse layup. Then the next clip is Grayson Allen doing the same thing.

I have never seen Grayson Allen do anything LeBron James has done except maybe shoot a wide open three.

Facts. He does have a nice three these days.
Grayson? Yeah. Yeah, it's from Duke, bro.
Yeah. No, he turned into a sniper, though.
See, that's what these journey guy.

I'm like a Grayson Allen's like a max level Grady. I consider a lot of these people Grady variants.
So like

Grayson Allen, Grady variant.

Who else is a Grady variant? Jimmer Ferdett. Jimmer Ferdet.
Any white boy, honestly, I claim all white boys with brown hair as Grady variants.

So

might be, might be messed up.

You see a lot of similarities. Dude, I just did a skit with a kid that looked just like me.
And I made it like point of view, you meet your younger self. His name was Grady.

His name was Grady Richards. And me and him made a skit.
And it was just like crazy. Cause like, bro, I see kids like this.

I see humans that like like we have a joke with me Mecca and Ray that like every person looks like me and I'm like the most basic white person ever in the world do you feel that way dude right now with the outfit I'm wearing

I do I feel like a very basic white man right now that sucks does and that's something I have to wake up out of bed with every day I wake up every day and I look in the mirror and I know I'm a white person I'm a basic white person

so how do you differentiate yourself I don't know I might

might dye my hair or something. Dye it blue.
Yeah, it might be dye it blue. Give me some diversity.
Yeah.

You know? You ever do anything like that before? No, I'm pretty. I'm pretty solid.
I don't have earrings. I don't got anything.
You got tats? I got two tats. I got tats on my wrists.

I got tats on my wrists. You're out of date? So it's Isaiah 54, 17.
It's no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Just a little Bible verse that my mom says to me every day, like without fail.

Like wake up in the morning, get ready for school or go into school. All right, Grady, have a good day.
Remember, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Just a little reminder that like no matter what evil or what, you know, what things go my way or come at me, that it doesn't matter to me. And I'm protected by God.
So.

Damn, I didn't know you had a little Christian side of you. Okay.
Of course, bro. You can't get this.
Bro, listen,

you can't get to where I'm at and, you know, act and have the mental that I have without being, you know, without, without, without, without God. You know what I'm saying? At least in my opinion.

Yeah. You know, everyone else is different, but

that's what works for me. Do you ever feel like you're misunderstood sometimes? Nah, dude, because I put out exactly what I want.
I put out exactly, I have no one telling me what to put out.

I put out what I want people to view me as. So

I have no complaints. Do you think it's, do you feel like you're putting on a persona sometimes, though? Never.
I'm always genuinely myself. Like, like,

I don't, like, when I, like, airball a shot, that's not me pulling out a character. I really stink.
I really airballed that three. So, I know, I never want people to think, oh, is you trolling?

Nah, guys, it's, it's that. I'm sorry.
It's like that. You're still airballing? I'm still airballing, dude.
It's not like a joke, man. It's real.
It's real, real. It's real, real, real.

Shit, you're putting on reps, though. I'm surprised.
Dude, I'm always going to stop because

I'd rather go one for 100 because that means I never stop shooting.

One for 100 because I never stop shooting. I'm never going to be the dude that goes 0 for 10.
I feel it. I'm making one before I leave the gym every time.

Every time, Sean Kelly. You watch the movie him?

You know the movie him that just came out? Is that by by Jordan Peele? It's by Jordan Peel. I didn't see it yet.
Hey, man, if you know, you know. That's that's all I'm gonna say.

Yeah, I want to watch that one. It's scary, bro.
It's really scary. I'm not even gonna get into it because I'm so scared of it.
That's how scared I am of it. It's not scary.
It's that scary.

If you know, you know. Anyone, hey, because hey, anyone that watches the movie, bro, just know that shit is that shit's probably happening.
Damn. At least, maybe not.

Probably not with LeBron. Because

LeBron's a GOAT. LeBron works really hard.

LeBron's genuinely the GOAT. Like, LeBron genuinely

could run for president of the United States and get elected.

That's how much of the GOAT is. Yes, he could on the Democratic side right now.
You might get some Republicans to vote for LeBron. Damn.
That's how much, that's how good he is at basketball.

Basketball is the great culture changer. You could have Crips and Bloods.
You could have Republicans and Democrats. You could have everyone and their mama like you if you can ball out, bro.

That's facts. It's a worldwide sport.
That's the hierarchy of school. First thing we talked about, hierarchy of sports.
If you're the best, I think number one point, I think start point guard

is better or like has more power than a high school quarterback. Damn.
Maybe. Really? Depends.
I would say, yeah, quarterback and starting point guard are maybe.

Yeah, point guard.

Which position you think gets the most respect about? Dude, I think point guard. Point guard? Dude, because like, quarterback is swag.
You have swag, but like, bro, there's nothing better than heh,

cross butt,

yeah, over, bro, like, in the crowd, bro. And then, like, the mixtapes.
But Josh Allen is really cool.

Like, I got, like, I say all that to say that Josh Allen might be the coolest athlete in sports right now. Yeah.
Yeah. He's that guy for sure.
He's that guy right now. Steph Curry or Kobe?

Steph Curry. Wow.
Instant answer. Yeah.
I love rest in peace, Kobe Bryant. Love you, Kobe Bryant, but it is Stephen Curry.

Why? Because like people talk about like the mama mentality, but people don't understand like the Curry mentality. Like the curry mentality, bro, like I think Curry works harder than Kobe.
Damn.

I think Curry works harder than Kobe. Like dude, like because Kobe, like I get it, like that's the brand and that's the guy, but Curry, bro, works his ass off, bro.
His ass off.

So I got Curry over Kobe. Okay.
You got Curry as the best point guard then. Yeah.

Over Magic, too? Yeah, Curry's on my Mount Rushmore. It goes like LeBron Curry, Kevin Durant,

and then, I don't know, throwing like Shaq or something. No MJ?

Nah. Holy shit.
Not throwing Shaq. Wow.

Bro, just on my Mount Rushmore? Why do you got nah, I'm lying. I'm lying.
I'm lying. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just a LeBron Glazer, man.
I'm just a LeBron Glazer. I got MJ.
I'm going to go.

MJ, LeBron, Curry,

Shaq, Katie. KD.

Dude, KD's so good. He's seven foot tall and he gets you from anywhere, bro.
It's unguardable. He's unguardable.
And he was the first to do it. Like, he's the first.

Like, no one else was doing it like him. Yeah.
Now, now, now, I mean, now we got guys out the pipe just coming out that are six, seven. We got Wemby now.
Yeah, Wemby shooting from seven,

seven, six, I think he is. Seven, six shooting from 35 feet out.
What the hell? That's a Yao Ming height with a jump shot. Yeah, bro.

We're living in the crazy. Yeah, that's a cheat card.
I feel like making the NBA now, because everyone's just breeding. Breeding? Like, they're selecting tall.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, these kids.

This is the thing. This is why, like I said, with Cam Wilder and AAU stuff, all this AU stuff, it is so hard to like, to actually make it to a point where you're making a lot of money.

Like, dude, these kids are getting hand-picked when they're like six, seven. You know what I'm saying?

Like, literally, like,

the ball is life overtime. All these, like, youth groups, like, they're recording.
And, like, they're almost like,

they're, like, making almost like essentially industry plans, but basketball players. So, unless you're like, unless you're like legitimately like a five, four-star recruit.

You're not getting scouted. You're cooked.
You're cooked, bro. It's so hard.
It's monopolized. They monopolize it.
At least they got NIL these days, all right? Yes, that is a savior.

And that's what I'm here for. Yeah.
They didn't have me when you were playing. I'm ready to get you a bag.
Yeah. I'm saying, how old are you, son? I'm 28.

You play college sports? No. So you got four years eligibility? I still do.
Yeah. Yeah.
Is there an age limit on it? Dude, it don't matter. You could be 40?

Ever since COVID, you got 30-year-olds playing college. No way.
Hell yes. Wow.
Yes. And that makes it another thing.

If you're like an 18-year-old kid about to go in your freshman year of high school or college, you're going going to be playing against like 25 year olds on your team it's not fair that's wild yeah because you're still growing you're still growing and you got a grown men that are paying for their wife and kids and family it's not fair bro different level was that always your goal to play pro ball it still is the goal to play pro ball i'm going to russia

pack your bags yeah i'm cold out there bro i'm saying what's up to dennis rodman and putin bro rodman's out there huh hell yeah yeah he might be out there in north korea too yeah he's everywhere bro that's an interesting i wouldn't go over there, though.

I'll probably go stay clear there. Unless the money's right.
They offer me

$2,500,000 to go play in North Korea. 2500000.
250. 250,000.
That's enough for you to chill. I'll go to North Korea.
I'll go to North Korea and play basketball. Damn.
I'll go. I'll go.

You heard it here, guys. 250.

Hey, man, Kim Jong, you want to send a 10-day over? You'd be the tallest one over there. I would be elite.
