Oh what’s up you watching the game or maybe the one later put a little bmgm action on it now any game becomes the game when you got overs and unders you end it every time they throw the ball kick the ball dribble the ball maybe
It’s not even a ball who needs a ball now that bets got you watching every inning half round period set hole AAP right from the edge of your seat hit him with the pro ball Moments of generosity is when you can actually rekindle and revisit with great friends and have great conversation toast to that two three cheers fellas oh yeah that’s right that’s right that’s right that’s right I think our there’s a lot of defining moment with us as a
Group um I thought the two that that stand out was the one was on the duckboat before the year when we were sitting on the duckboat and I needed y’all to buy into me cuz y’all didn’t know me Paul knew me right and uh I gave
You know we went on we got the duck booat which Kevin was like what what [ __ ] we doing on a duck boat what are we doing what is a duck boat that’s a duck boat he’s cussing and we got the duckboat to go on the exact Parade route
That we’re going to go on if we wanted and I wanted them to Envision it uh but then we started talking about what we had to do remember the boat got quiet it was just us but and I said listen y’all got to sacrifice y’all got to give up
This y’all got to give up this y’all got to trust me you got to allow me to coach you um and it’s going to be hard remember and y’ all everyone you ra it wasn’t even a hesitation like Kevin was like I’ll give up all my shots I don’t
Want any shots and I I was like that’s not what I’m saying I’m just saying that we got to sacrifice and and then I we talked about defense and then the other one was um you know all the young guys uh the big the U uh big baby I’m telling
You he was a nut um but I call Big Baby and whoever else was the young guys can’t remember who Leon po I remember this called him in my room in Rome and i’ done I’ve been researching this in boutu for a month at that point and I
Had Emme had so many notes and we had all this yellow stuff written down and I brought big baby and who was a fool and and uh that wasn’t on that team yeah and it was his rookie year and Leon Po and I said hey so tomorrow y’all are going to
Present this word right I remember big baby would tell you I I looked at him and said Hey listen this ain’t no this ain’t no effing joke I said um I I may cut you guys if you don’t do this [ __ ] right I mean I put the fear of God I’m not
Kidding I gave them a stack right um and I don’t know why I didn’t check that was stupid of me uh they they came that morning that presentation was amazing was amazing was the best was the best guy but what do realized is Big Baby majored in drama and theater didn’t know
But he presented it he was sweating he was teary ey uh and right when it finished and he said one two three and Bo it was over it was bought in and that was from big baby and Leon po I’m missing somebody else but it
Was awesome and I thought as far as us coming together that was a huge and especially been in Rome for whatever reason that meant something we might need to go back to Rome just three of us I’m all four with It y’all know what it is just ticking the truth man we got the Great Dark rivers in here today y I’m saying yes sir oh my God they didn’t say that when I coached them but now we good it’s always like that right it’s the truth how you doing man I’ve been
Great man it’s been uh it’s been really good really relaxed y seen me just relax that for real I was just thinking that like the same thing Doc yelling on the sideline marching us he he he look he look cool C colletive you know sometimes
Like I love I love coach I love what I do but sometimes you need this and I probably needed it three or four years before that you just don’t know it cuz you love what you’re doing and then when it’s forced on you you’re sitting back
And it took me about middle of summer when I remember I think it was uh Monty Williams or uh Darin ham called me about something about training camp and I actually said training camp and it was like a week away I hadn’t even thought about it that’s when I knew said man
This is good really good so but you’ve been in the NBA how long though now like from playing to coaching how many years you did damn 40 damn uh 40 plus more than half your life yeah I’m 62 that’s what I’m saying you need this you need
This raise your kids in it yeah my kids are NBA kids like they all they’ve been in it they’ve been in locker rooms they’ve been in uh man on the road traveling they got the you know Austin got to play y’all which was the funniest thing of all time that was crazy that
Was hilarious yeah I went from seeing Austin being on the bus as a little kid coming to practice shooting around so next thing I know I got a ISO with him at the top of the key right I see him and him and Kevin square off in the game
And I’m thinking they Austin was a little kid in the parade right yeah in the parade that was probably one of the more odd situations right cuz I looked at him and and he said I heard what he said like I said what you I said what
And I caught myself like boy hey boy boy hey hey boy hey chill out it’s good how is he how how’s how he’s great you know he’s doing TV now too it’s been great he probably still wants to play but he loves what he’s doing so all good BR all
Good y’all look good you you you you got to be a proud dad just to have a kid make the NBA and see his progression to where he is now I mean you know we got Sons now we trying to my son is is is 10 years old now we we
Wish it could be something like that so I I know that that’s been an amazing feeling it was cool uh coaching them was different yeah you know um cuz I think if you are coaching a kid especially in NBA you want him to be the worst player
On the team or the best player on the team you do not want him to be in the middle because that creates that can create all kinds of stuff but it’s still you know when uh I had to trade him think about I had to trade my son D that
Is and uh that call like I was a emotional cuz I’m like man I got to call Austin and trade him and he saved me like he was like d it’s time for me to go he said but I got a chance to play with my pops and he says nobody else can
Say that he said later we’re going to love this right so it was cool yeah damn how you like your TV man TV’s great you know what’s funny uh before I coach I did three years of TV yeah I remember really helped me because you know when
You’re a player you’re in that system M uh and you know that system and so when you’re a coach you create your own system now I coach for so long I had different had a system for y’all there one thing I did as a coach is I looked
At what I had and Fit made the system fit that instead of just having the system you guys got to work into that you know uh so now I’m sitting back and I’m going to these practices and a lot of coaches are calling you you know for
Advice and I wasn’t you know me I wasn’t one of those when I was coaching I wasn’t talking to Friendly I wasn’t have a conv with a lot of coaches I had a few friends but um I don’t know I grew up in then 9 career so I didn’t know everybody
Didn’t want to I wanted to do I don’t need to talk to you but now I’m talking I’ve talking to coaches now I’ve never talked to like even never had a relationship with not what’s that like it’s been awesome uh they ask you questions and and you know so you’re
Learning I’m always learning I always you know because it’s just what you do so that’s been a really cool process and some of the guys I didn’t think I liked I’m like man it’s a good dude CU oh really cuz you don’t get a chance to
Know any of these guys I’m man and there’s a you know that said there was a few coaches I was like my I man this guy’s terrible and now you’re talking to him you hear his knowledge and you’re like man it’s amazing so that thing it’s been really
Good for me you know I want to know something because like I I think I’ve been around Dr longest as a player and I know how he used to coach me and and like I I watched toward the end of my career and the transition from like this
Era of players to the next like how how was that because I saw a different you doc from the one that coached me to the one that coached like the Next Generation like how was that transition you know I think there’s been three I’ve been in long enough like I want to say
You coach me hard we had some no I coach hard you coach me super hard we had some days yeah we had some tough days Paul for show like early on you know when I first took the job and we were going to be very good but I thought you could be
More efficient yeah and I came in and I said Paul you got to play this way you’re like we bump te much what are you talking about no you made it but you can be better right I remember we had the conversation with about uh I think you
Were shooting like 42 and I asked you probably you a great shooter and he said yeah I’m a great shooter you know problem and I said well you’re shooting 42% so either you’re a great shooter and taking bad shots or you’re not a great shooter now which one is like I’m a great
Shooter I’m saying then youve taken bad shots let’s work on it and give Paul credit like we we button heads and then remember you just walked in my office you know what what you want to try to do we G to do it yeah I remember I it
Wasn’t me like I I sh I wouldn’t I wouldn’t give in I think you knew I was crazy enough this this guy ain’t change it so but you did it like I’m going buy it I’m buy but this is a different group I’ve had three when I first started it
Was like a different group than by the time y’all different era of guys uh well you can really coach your group um and and this group is so much more sensitive uh because they have so much more stuff because social media see we didn’t have that right these guys every day what
What was the first thing that book said after the Laker game with the N call you know I was on Twitter oh yeah and and everybody was telling me like because it’s a different generation these guys there’s people the the the peripheral people now are involved where when we
Were you couldn’t get involved when I played think about my first eight years as a player there’s no such thing I’m showing my age of a cell phone right that one right so when we got on the bus we talked to each other facts when y’all
Got on the bus it was loud you get on the bus now it is silent me like you can everybody’s on Bice oh wow and so you come in in halftime now people are looking down you walk in and I don’t have a rule but they know you shouldn’t
Be on the phone but and always you know uh Sam can always laugh he said the players that have no idea what you actually see and what you don’t see you know cuz I see everything you know but you got to act like you don’t see it but
You know what they’re doing now they’re talking to their individual coach they’re talking to you know and every coach all these guys I’ve never met an individual coach who has ever called me about defense you know so that was the rule I made I had one call me you know
My guy needs to get more shots and said listen first of all you’re not part of this team you know and we’re going to do what we need to do for the team to win I said but here’s our new deal you can call me about defense anytime anytime
You think your guy needs to play harder defense just give me a call I said in a nice way going call and I’ve never got a call I never I never got one they not working oning on you don’t hear that but but but you got to you got
To understand that though they are more sensitive because these guys are criticized more there’s more people they read the comments you know they read the the social media comments they uh all of them have their own brand no one had that so it is different and and you got
To be conscious of that there was times I failed on that cuz there’s times needed to be coached and so even coaching like you you you would tell you wouldn’t come to me you wouldn’t say man uh Tony needs to play better def Paul needs to do this you would say Paul you
Need to do this right this generation will come to you the guy sitting next to him right wow and um because the the they don’t communicate as well and you can always see the teams that communicate will win and the keems that don’t won’t you can visually see it and
It’s obvious yeah who got Barner hey who going listen anytime we’re in a personal setting I have to I don’t even say it but that whole thing was about jobi right no here so this is the story the whole thing was about jobi right we were I had
Job that night we were there to stop job right we were there to stop job for sure he was on the r the two four pick and r the three four pick and roll was the most famous cuz he popped right I didn’t have a rotator we were trapping jobi I
Got no Rotator so red head was hitting that M that’s was the game plan right it was but look how your teammate okay go ahead I’ll tell you a funny thing so we’re at halftime and bot’s rolling right rolling he never had 20 and a half
This time so but job is under control we trying to control but I and Sam will Bey I told Sam I said I’m I’m going to talk about boner it’s going to piss Kevin off right but I said it already yeah that’s what I did it I wasn’t doing it for more
Reason how he did get his but see that’s the thing about our team yeah we could go at we can say it to each other before you had to do it we hold each other accountable but when I walked in and said like who’s who’s got bers he lost his mind I was
[ __ ] so I was like okay Bon won’t [ __ ] he was like Kevin we’re here to stop janol it ain’t about you remember that oh yeah we’re here to stop joli and beat the Spurs get out of your F I was going to say and then Sam said don’t say
That he’ll go I said listen we’re GNA have to send some help on Bonner that I L like okay doc that’s you what I’m saying it was all good I’m glad we could laugh about that but yeah wait till I see B next time B you if you in

Gaming partner of the NBA BMG your boy talk about um calling the games now one perspective I love is that when you are watching the sets you like I I love hearing um the um the commentator through how you’re watching the game as a coach yeah I’m
Seeing it as a coach and I’m trying to get people to see it that way you know like last night uh New Orleans kept running the five4 pick and a row and I was like well they keep running this they’re going to keep getting 80 in Ron
Yeah you the two best defenders the two best defenders and you can see that you need to go away from that’s not going to work tonight but that was their bread and butter but not against the Lakers it just wasn’t going to work so I try to
Show the the fan that uh I also want the game to be a positive game we got a great game yeah we do and I I I I think it’s so easy to criticize um and you know like I I’ll say this something I’ve learned doing TV
Uh not learn but you watch players differently um ad would be a great example you know I’ve been watching him I look at ad now and I said ad is more piing and and we don’t understand that ad won a national title scoring six points right he dominated defensively defensive
And so I actually called C I said c what what would you say to that he said that’s who he is he can score he can pass he does a lot of things great but if you ask him what he wants to do every night he wants to be the dominant
Defensive player and so it kind of changed me but there are Knights you still should dominate when you look at his ability that’s exactly right has he has the onea ability he does you know what I’m saying but he did it in New Orleans but now he’s playing with a guy
That is 1A and he’s like you know what I’m going to do what it takes so I have changed a little there are Knights you want them to be more aggressive but it has changed me a little bit on that just just watching him that’s when you see
Those nights where you see him dominant he’s taking the onea roll he’s 38 and 15 because LeBron is 38 39 I mean he has so much m going yeah yeah I need some of whatever he we all need that’s another subject but like when you see it it’s
Like it’s like it’s teasing you and you like man you know he can do this every now he can do the same things that MB does he gets do the same thing that joker does at the end of the day if you was coaching him you would tell him it’s
His mindset that’s pretty much it you remember um there was a game Cleveland in Cleveland playoff game and I needed Kevin to be aggressive Kevin we’re going you like it or not Tony the number was 20 yeah and I kept I used the word 20 like 40 times in
The speech I said we’re going to have 20 this 20 this and the number was Kevin had to take 20 field goal remember and I kept saying the word 20 till finally you said I got it man I got it 20 but you know that’s what you have to do
Sometimes uh because Kevin one thing I’d say about Kevin you so unselfish there were nights I had to remind you that you were Kevin cuz you did everything else uh you know you remember I I’d say move the ball and I’d yell at keevin you got to shoot the
Ball and you said you said move he never he never told me no I didn’t tell that to Paul we all knew no no no he used to tell me to move on he never had to tell that to Kevin Paul and Ray was a different son you never to tell you
Never had to tell that to Ticky you had to tell that to me yeah no doubt move the ball right yeah but you do have to you you just got to get get every guy on the team to understand their role for the team not only for the team for the
Year sometimes for that night and that’s the hardest thing about Coach EXN is easy you know I always felt I feel like in the timeout what I was going to draw we’re scoring or we’re going to get a good shot I always felt very good about that uh but getting guys at each
Individual player to buy into his role and you know everybody’s not going to get the role they want but if you want to win you have to do that you’re looking at all these teams right now and like Milwaukee right now uh they’re going to get it but they
Ain’t got it yeah and you can see it you can visually see it it’s going to take time think about Giannis has played one way yeah they is played one way and so they’re going to have to figure it out and they’re going to uh because I think
They you got to be ready to win and I you know remember that duckboat right where I told y’all give yall guys names there’s a lot of guys you know all trying to do is win and I say yeah not really you’re trying to win as long as
You get to do whatever you want to do that’s just not the the case what’s the old saying um the the individual has to lose for the team to win there’s a lot of Truth to that you know and that you you got to give up something that’s real
And uh so when I’m watching them uh you’re watching all the new teams that are just put together even Boston and they’re rolling when porzingis plays but there’s times jayen you can see he’s off kilter at times it just takes time yeah you know yeah I understand that you got
To lose on I was taking 19 shots I went from 19 shots to 12 shots a game I was like damn and you became we winning now totally different but it ain’t easy man no for real and and for y’all especially now it’s even harder for
Y’all was hard cuz I don’t care who you are when you go home all your boys all your friends that we always call them the peripheral opponents because they are everybody outside the locker room is the opponent including families at times you know including families cuz all they’re telling they’re never going to
Tell you what you need to hear they’re going to tell you what you want to hear and what they’re going to tell you is you need to shoot more you ain’t get enough shots think about every single player is saying and then the guys who aren’t playing you need to play more
Right uh and to play more you need to shoot more I mean that’s what a coach has that was the one thing Doc you were great at is was reminding us that yeah because you knew that as you were you as a player and as a coach you understood
That and when when I used to hear you say that I used to be like yeah he right we had to battle these these Outsiders family we had to battle The Outsiders and when you constantly reminded us it it helped us out so much because when
Guys would come into the locker room and feel a certain way and you bounce that off of us they’d be like look it’s it’s bigger than that it’s about what’s right here and that was key I swear that was key for us in our locker room that kept
It good you guys bought in I mean we had our days as a group you know um no this was after yeah no this was you know how I got after we won oh yeah it got triple wor it got triple work that’s it’s so hard that’s that’s
When it crept in you know funny Michael I I seek people out that had wanted and Michael Jordan said something he said this is going to be your problem it ain’t going to be uh it’s after you the victory it’s going to be everybody else cuz every single player on your team has
Gone away and had the trophy for a week or two and they were the man they were the man and when they come back you’re going to have 15 guys that think they’re the man now and he said it’s going to take you all year to get them to get back to
Who they are that doesn’t mean your roads don’t grow like Ron’s Road grew you know at each year you know but that mean everybody’s you know I feel like I feel like that’s what happened with the Draymond pool situation and I don’t know but like just seeing it the year after
Just I felt like they won it and then you know how guys came back and wanted a bigger role I don’t know for sure but I’ll bet you that has something to do with felt like it uh I think and I don’t know either uh but I think you’re 100%
Right you know what I’m saying and you know what I’ve always learned you guys know this when you don’t hear a lot of comments from the team you know they didn’t everybody on outside thought it was awful you didn’t hear one player right or up there say so you knew there
Was something in there because I saw with us but just because we could kind of control it within ours didn’t get out of control right I feel like and I was like I know that’s the first thing we had fights there was stuff you know that’s what people like that’s the
Difference too now everything is seen everything is known me last night in the in the Milwaukee game after the game uh one of the players went off and it was reported 10 minutes after that that’s crazy how’s that possible that that that that can’t get out it’s okay to have those conversations we’ve
Had all had heated conversations it’s part of growing uh but it’s got to stay in house and it’s not staying in house with a lot of teams that’s one of the differences right there that changed from our era to now we always our stuff stayed in house you always preach that like nothing
Leave here boom we going to keep everything handle everything in but now it’s that’s not the but but things stand house in Miami things staying house in San Antonio uh State old scho you see that old the first time that ever got out that’s old school culture yeah you
Still got to protect your culture yeah and and that’s that’s where I think uh if I struggled the most uh once I left Boston you know I went to the Clippers trying to create a culture facts went to Clippers and that’s where you realize how important like everybody employees
That’s the first time you know I was always just a coach and then I got the Clippers and I was trying to do everything um and you realize all those employees are underpaid so they loyalty for what right you know their equipment manager uh Pete Tano had been there for
30 years making 50 Dam that’s the average is like 220 about say been there let me think about that and so when you come in and you’re talking to your employees about hey we got a whole Buy in and and they’re like for what I’m getting I’m getting under debate
Everybody’s getting fired all the time with this organization so you know other than winning the championship that was my biggest success is changing the culture the culture with that group and it took a long time and it it you wasted you had to you wasted a lot of equity
Trying to do it but it was it was worth it you know so worth it I always wondered man would you ever go into uh ownership would you ever I’d love to love to I just need you to buy the team I think you there’s one coming out here
In Vegas show yeah Seattle coming up yeah front office ownership I I you know the one thing I did you can’t be a coach and a uh front office I did that for a year I that’s a headache right you know Lawrence Frank laughs at his day it was
It was like game 20 and we’re sitting on the bench doing the game and I turned to him and said um this is your last year coaching and he said what I said you you’re going to be the GM next year I’m done with this this is doing the game it
Was like game 20 and he was like what are you I said no this is it this is nuts I mean you’re watching college gu man talk it’s just it’s you know I don’t know you know people used to do it you know Riley did it and red did it but the
League’s gotten too big now to lot of the staffs are too big so you know what I don’t understand staffs are too big by too big yeah I don’t understand the role of the general manager anymore after because you got the general manager and then you got the president so what’s the
Role of the general well it depends on the group you know um to to be a great organization it has to be a team Danny and I like you couldn’t go into Danny and say something about me without me not knowing you know U Danny wasn’t going to
Tell Paul I’ll do this and then come to me and Danny when somebody came to Danny there often times he just bring you let’s go on now let’s go sit with Doc the other thing with Danny and I Danny and I had some drag out arguments then
We go to dinner we were always we covered for each other um when Danny made a bad draft pick you never read that doc wanted somebody else right uh or when when I said let’s go with this guy you never read that Danny wanted somebody else I mean Ronda was a great
Example so Danny came in me before the year before the season hey I want you to look at this tape uh with Rondo um and I looked at him like he can’t play this guy can’t play that’s what I’m looking at that’s what you said originally about R when I first saw
Rondo oh wow and then I kept looking I said man this dude can he can you know you start seeing it then I called all the coaches at Kentucky the report wasn’t very good you know about Rondo so I’m worried um and Danny said hey you
Trust me yeah we got it and and two days in the camp I oh man we got to steal I mean but no one knew that Danny never said hey I always wanted them um you know you know and Tony’s in the room so I’m going to bring this up I was going
To turn down the Selter job um because I just left Orlando I wanted the year and Danny calls me and said hey can we talk and I said yeah I said when he said now I said what do you mean now he said’ look outside your window then he just
Flew all the owners up to Orlando we’re not asking me damn he’s ringing the doorbell that’s how so he comes in and we’re sitting there and I’m like the hell a boss move it was cool and we’re sitting there and we were talking about college players and I said um I tell you
The guy I love kid at Oklahoma State Tony Allen and the owner start laughing because Dan had just said that and then that made me say oh man we’re connected oh W yeah that was that’s true story I said we’re connected oh wow cuz Tony was
You know he was wild he was your type of player chic Chicago he was I was like this is my God man right right and so cool because you know some GS wouldn’t have seen that right and I was like man we get this dude and it was
Right we were right they was like we need to get him Trey Paul Pierce then we’ll be all right oh no that was never in the car I’ll give you credit because in a generation where everybody just wanted to leave Kevin you too we had to beg you
To leave uh the best thing you did for us is say no because we ended up with raate you and you had said yeah first it wouldn’t have work no but we had to make that y’ got ra first because you said no we went
To the draft and we draft we end up trading getting Ray Allen so now we got R Paul now he want to C now this got one different now you now remember now you want to get some cins yeah the cup all right yeah okay now you want to get some
C got ready I was like just me like this inen now you want to get some C and I didn’t think we can get them and we’re golfing me and Kevin mcel and Dan we’re golfing I’m in the car with Kevin and I’m we’re trying me and
Danny trying to figure any way to get Kevin Mel to say yes y working y’ working but then Kevin told me he said doc you know what I want whoever’s the youngest best big man in the league you know that’s all I need and we can get
That and we can just figure out I was like oh we getting Kevin Garnett CU we had Al right and I’m think Al was the best young big man in the league at the time so when he said that I remember driving the golf cart and like we
Getting all three guys that’s what I was thinking swear I told D we we getting them and and I said just and he was like who who do we give up I said tell them to name them get take all of but we had a list of guys you couldn’t touch
Couldn’t touch Tony couldn’t touch Rondo right uh perk we needed yeah we knew exactly what we wanted it’s crazy I asked for those exact guys is that right I said uh cuz whenever I I think I said this to you I said I said this to you
Too I said man um I’m looking to play with the team I’m used to playing against and whenever I played against those guys B Rafe P ta perk I always always felt like I got the best team cuz I watch film you know I’m watch two
Three games come into the game so I was like man every time I play perk every time I play see this what happened they got into it the year before so much they did they got into it in the game the year before looked up to him cuz room
What I didn’t know is that I was like a big bro without being a big bro and I didn’t know big fella came out of high school I didn’t even know none of this right but Indie e is my young fell right look so when we traded for him he called
Me like or before we walking L he’s like what’s up with big perk he thinking I’m thinking tick think he might have to go hands with him like what’s up with him because I want to get understanding with him before I came in here and then whatever
We had to get out the way let’s go ahead and get it out the way big fell cuz I want you know I’m a different type of teammate that’s what I was Shing that’s what it was y’all ain’t never played with a [ __ ] like me like hold on big fell
You didn’t me p i don’t give none of that I’m talking about the locker room I was man we going to be like and I was starting to implement on what we going to be like now I’m on Def def I talk like this and perk was like oh for real like yeah
Big per how to talk how to communicate you know what I thought our my favorite practice was the first practice oh yeah in Rome because y’all got lit up the second unit destroyed y I respect I start respect Eddie House posy ta got at us baby I was like funny the two things
That happened um tibs had never you know I spent some time with belich and Tony duner that summer and they were you know the offens and defense coordinator I’d never done that oh wow and so um I took tips you going to be the defensive coordinator oh wow and he’s like okay
But he didn’t know I meant like no you running so if you don’t remember this but at the beginning of the practice tip started talking I left the gym and tip just looking around like where’s he going where’s he going you know CH we’re in the middle of Rome y’all by the way
So I’m I’m sitting in the hallway listening uh cuz I just needed y’all to understand it’s tip’s voice it’s not my voice and tip’s at the pric bro you know T bro you can’t do that you just can’t leave the gym I mean and I was like you know
What’s so funny though cuz you started doing that all year now when we had shoot around you would leave and TBS do do the Scout that was on purpose cuz I was like CU not if I’m there y’all going to look over at me and I needed y’all to
Look at tips I I thought it was really important on him was like what the [ __ ] and then TS first thing to do is go right into a drill okay men let me get two guys on the elbow two guys on the box we going to tell five like man what
The [ __ ] we looked around you want that like come on man do you leave and we startet used to be what is this man used to be into it there were about 10 different times where I was about to open the door cuz I can hear it and then
I was no we ain’t doing that let’s drill’s tickets man him AR you so even no we going to run it this way we going to run it this way TBS wouldn’t back down from ticket that’s what the thing was that’s where I didn’t
Know I’m like at the door I need to go in and then the other part of that first practice Paul called a foul and U I was raing and it wasn’t a foul but I wanted to see what the second unit would do cuz usually the second
Unit all right it’s a foul and Po’s like Po like no fou it ain’t no foul then PA it’s a foul po grabb the ball and they in and playing and I was like oh we’re going to be good I call we’re going to be good listen after that first pass I
Got back to the Joint you know usually go back to your man Paul can’t hit the door we went downstairs you know training count you lay down we went down to have lunch and we sitting I was like man I don’t do this on training camp but
Man y saw how that [ __ ] look man that [ __ ] look crazy that [ __ ] look crazy man was like P had a Baldhead went BD I went ball and then Rondo and per five went ball the second unit the second unit the next day y’all destroyed them yeah it was but it was competitive
Competitive you know one thing you talking about LeBron um you remember LeBron early in his career was he was he was a great player but he wasn’t a student like um it’s amazing I think uh when he got traded to Miami we had an exhibition game and LeBron start calling
Our sets he started calling the sets like Rondo he coming off the whatever whatever we going to switch this and right when he did that uh I don’t think it was tibs it might have been tibs no it was um Frank I remember this I remember I remember this situation
Whoever was our assistant coach I turned around and said we in trouble oh boy we in trouble he was doing he they was emulating everything we were doing call you remember they had them big long ass uh football plays 312 side twist I was like and when he start calling our sets
Out Tony ell is coming over here Here Comes Paul we going to Swit this I was like oh my gosh LeBron he learning is become a student check and now when you watch him now it’s like he’s playing chess everybody else is playing it’s ridiculous now watching him his brain
Has evolved to where he’s at it’s amazing he didn’t always have that yeah that’s why he’s still dominating he can play forever right now when you watch I watch just watch them he’s moving two steps earlier before they pass and then they that’s crazy we’ve never seen
Nothing like this just like I don’t even care what he’s 21 years just I’m looking at his movements I’m thinking like by the time I got to my 15th year I was like it was it was hit or miss how I was going to feel getting out of bed 15
Like that’s like [ __ ] it was hit or miss my big toe was going to work that day or my ankle or something was cred he puts it all he works and um you know energy level is crazy and I hate to Goat uh debate you know I’m a Michael guy uh but
That doesn’t mean anything bad about LeBron LeBron’s going to have the greatest career right it’s no doubt he’s going to have a goat career but as far as for me the single player is Micha but it doesn’t matter that make LeBron bad I don’t know
Why it feel like if you say one that means you’re putting down the other one they’re both amazing me we used to be in the locker room and you know the new younger guys they like man LeBron’s the best player ever like do do would tell you do would
For sure tell you that but they ain’t see you know what I’m saying black Mike and it’s always going to be that from generation to generation even when you hear Kareem speak or or when Bill russle used to say stuff it’s just like I did thinking Bill Russell exactly it’s going
Be always was a Bill Russell guy you know but it’s funny with Austin growing up I would Austin like LeBron’s you know and I would send him video and I sent Austin a video like two weeks ago and his text back all right Dad I get it got
It all right I got it MJ was the best that’s what he said me back but it’s a fun debate but I just hate that when you do it people think you’re putting down one guy the other I think they both have transed the game in a different way
Obviously we’ve never seen someone have 39,000 points 66,000 minutes on the goddamn floor we put time into this game we know when I’m watching the 38 year old have more energy than 21s 22 year olds 29 year olds he is arguably the most he he’s he’s he’s he’s he’s
Everything on the flooor so that’s what I’m looking at I don’t want to be in 223 watching something of the past I want to be in 223 watching something of the future and that’s what I’m embracing now the past is happening right now man listen it’s happening he’s dominating
You know what the scary thing I think about to I’m like damn like when LeBron go like who who GNA be that face who can really carry the torch went from Jordan and I think in the early 2000s it was multiple players you know it had it was
Committee and then LeBron took over solo so now I’m looking like damn LeBron and Steph I don’t think we give Steph enough credit cuz Steph is as much of a game changer as anybody in our lifetime like you go to Au game now nobody dunking no
You remember when you go to AU Game nobody took a jump shot everybody was doing you go to a game people shoot from half everybody shoot that’s from one dude uh we don’t give him enough credit think about he’s one of the most titles of of of that group um and watching him
Now still and Durant now the three oldest players are dominating yeah but see what the kids do they say I can be Steph because I can’t be Durant CU I’m not growing to seven feet that’s exactly right I can’t be the LeBron because I’m not gonna be 68 and buff but kids look
And say I can probably be step you know 62 63 can and can shoot really well and move without the ball that’s that’s it’s unrealistic really but like you’re not going to be the Great but they it’s more realistic to but they ain’t going to put
In the ti right right you know um think so Steph man he works machine he’s a machine he works and you know listen all y’all it’s it’s no think about every team you played on you were the best player on your teams but you also were the hardest worker on your team that
Ain’t a coincidence Ray Allen was our best shooter right who took the most shots if you counted the entire time we were at together who took more shots than Ray I remember thinking okay you want to be a better shooter but the the better shooter taking more shots in practice
You know there’s a tiger wood store I was golfing with like three other professional golfers and I’m not going to use their name um but we’re golfing and uh tiger W was on the Range we finished golfing he’s still on the Range now that’s 4 hours later we go eat is
Now a pouring rainstorm I mean is in Orlando is and there’s no one there except the Tigers on the Range hitting balls in the rain um because the British Open was in a week and a half and he thought it may rain so he had to play
Through it and I called one of the guys I said can I ask you a question uh TIG wood is the best player right he oh God yeah by far you know he’s the best maybe the best in history I said um you think he works out outworks everybody on tour
He said yeah man he he outworks all of us I said okay now he’s number one now he’s outworking you now how can you ever catch him wow when you think about I start thinking about that with Shooters uh with ball handlers like these guys I don’t think guys understand how hard it
Is to be great and everybody wants to be great and then when they get the job like when the number one player’s gone for a week or two they realize oh I don’t want this job this is hard you know so it’s still it still comes down
To the work ethic I know you have a love for coaching I know that this break is great could you ever see yourself in any capacity coaching again on this level I don’t know Kevin it’s got to be the right it would have to be a perfect
Situation I know one thing I perfect meaning what Define perfect perfect means we have to have solidified player already great team in the front office oh okay you have to be on the same page got you I know we not going yeah you can’t be I know where he going we don’t
See him in San Antonio when Pop go no no no no I’m telling you no that’s when Yama going to be developed he going to be ready to go look I know where he going I’m calling it now look te Mal call it if they bring a team to malib I’m coaching that
Team give me the pepperon the Malibu the Malibu waves we we would be we would be unbeliev but no it’s uh like it’s so important for you you you just can’t do your job as a coach in our NBA now if you can’t you know what do they say um culture happens
When you turn your back when you’re not in the room you know if if I can’t leave a room and feel good yeah then you can’t work and so you have to have that and you got to be on the same page man it’s
Too much for you not to be if you want to win you better be so that would be my answer if not TV I’m G to play a lot of bad golf you know U cuz I talk about golf people think I’m really good listen
We going to get out there with we going to get an invitation you know what I’m saying and now that I’m he hand get me out of a club I’m worried about Y no we not no we y going to wear the right stuff don’t we the right stuff man listen
I’m I’m coming with etiquette I’m coming I got I’m going have my whole outfit I may leave my golf game in the car but I’m coming happens good time whenever it happens we we bring I want play best ball too I don’t want to play all that
Like my ball over here okay who got the okay drop right here right here that mean that’s not gol that’s golf how we going to start off I’m say let’s start off like this and then get good warmed up cuz Bro think he better than me and
I’m ready to wax bro bro you not bad than me bro you just bro you am play left at Golf Tech get my [ __ ] from the hood you been going to golf te Lord golf going to Golf Tech I got two set of I’m going to go with Paul on the
Golf I got him I got look they got the same birthday I’m lock right now to what I’m locked in to what to working out ain’t locked I lock this man up man and whatever [ __ ] and what like we were saying been hoing I’ve been hooping he
See this is what I had to deal with like you don’t know what I’m doing this is this is a timeout right man come on I don’t want it right there I want it right here right here so that yeah like that’s what I want to ask y’all when I came to
Timeouts and let’s say one time out end of a game I went to PA one time I go to raid one time what would y’all think when it wasn’t y’all so let me say this real [ __ ] I’m let me go first go ahead at no point did we ever Envy who shot it
Cuz we had the belief in all three of us as long as it was all three of us real [ __ ] probably POS cuz po been there right yeah but we felt the we felt the uh responsibility to take the big shots and make the big decisions you know what
I’m saying so if it came from p and I had you had to be ready if it came for me rate and that’s how I can honestly say we never or we never talked about having any issues with I didn’t I didn’t I remember doc Drew up a play one time
And I had no involvement in it you know I done made some game winners but he drew up the right play I remember it was in Philly I never forget he drew up a play for for for a lot for you yeah remember and I wasn’t in I was like over
Here cor and I was just like damn I’m not even in the play but it worked you know just like yeah but you know it was the most satisfaction for me just to have those teammates when I used to see you make a game winner or or or the
Pressure wasn’t on me no more like when I see Ray hit it was just like for me to watch that my favorite play with Y all there’s a couple of them um one was a l for Rondo against Miami that was oh yeah one
Was we ran uh I was at a Au gate yeah do made me the out of bells man that day I’m like am I taking off the Miami Miami Miami I’m I can I can make free throws down of stretch I can make a shot but
I’m taking the ball out you remember the time I said B can you make this pass like I can make the pass but you were thinking I need the ball right right and we also ran against Cleveland playoff game I was at AU Game and I think it was
Austin’s or Jeremiah’s team in high school play oh I remember you called it high school we drew it up in practice we ran it and the score twice but we got in the timeout and you said let’s run High School right I was like no come on Coach
Let’s Run High School there two times this happened I’m telling y’all now um so so I I I draw it up and I remember sitting on the bench and tips is what we draw up CU it ain’t going to work we we’re running a high school play I
Actually said it’s not going to but they wanted to run it and sometimes as a coach you go with it PA gets a he just walked into a layup and then the other one was we scored on the three with Ray against Philadelphia the year before mhm
And you all four y’all you Ronald Ray y all said it we’re in the timeout and I drop another play and Rond says let’s dra let’s run the same play we ran against him last year I said we can’t run the same play that we ran against the team last year it’s
Not going to work and all y’all oh it’s going to work other time I came to the timeout and that time I was Sam remember Sam was might been coaching my I was literally like I walked to the HUD T I said man this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever done
As a coach what do you mean I said we running the same place it’s not going to work it work and Ray was so when he was so wide open it’s funny how the the real story the media they think we’re y’all are celebrating but y’all pointing at me
What you tell you we told you and y’ was y’all was so happy to be right we so happy that [ __ ] work if it didn’t work man you know that’s the beauty like just like with Doc because like we can go into the timeout and he’ll listen to the
Players and I and I think that I think that’s an involvement of a coach you know what I’m saying because sometimes you know the coach going to do everything but when he listen to us sometimes it just that’s what made the Rel great y that came from y’all
Listening to me listen y’all let me coach y’all yeah so I had to if you allow a coach to coach you you’re going to give the player everything it days it be timeouts it be timeouts we going to the timeout and Ronda would dropped the play remember that R he’d be like all
Right I gotta play Doc and Ronda would drop a play and Doc the only player I did it with CP a little bit but Ronald’s the only guy remember Ronald had my play sheet yeah he’s the only guy would do two play sheets and I would give Ronda
One before the game and it was amazing man that dude is the smartest best his brain yeah you would come in the timeout and I’m like 52 twist he’s he’s already doing it with his mouth he knows what we’re running he was Brave he knew not
Only our plays but the other team plays you shocked he’s not in coaching he will be he will be yeah he’s just too smart now he he ain’t going to be the most patient coach cuz he’s tooart he’ll evolve I wasn’t when I first came in I was evolve you learn coaching is
Patience and big pitcher yeah you got to stay on the big picture like you know the other night New Orleans get blown out you know that’s a game you say all right guys go to the restaurant go have a good time tonight you’re in Vegas right I’ll see you tomorrow work uh and
Then there’s times when you’re winning what y’all would notice that’s what I was on m i when we lost I was not off but we we start winning too much that’s what when I got rough cuz I can feel y’all walking around with your shades on
I’m like here we go we’re about to go to a bad place and that’s when I got on y’all you know so y’all were great to coach love it I used to love when you actually gave us the chance we would come and Doc would sit right here he
Wouldn’t even say nothing and this all five of us would be in the Uproar we’d be arguing conversating with whatever whatever whatever then he like you’re done okay y’all finished y’all done okay cool this what we doing and that was to me that was that was that was the ice on
Cake because we had to be able to interact and deal and talk to each other he allowed that he allowed us to be us we didn’t have to be someone else and every guy in this and in this was himself I didn’t feel like I was getting
Another form of ta I thought that I was another form of baby or another form of dog I felt like all of us was who we are and we were he allowed you to be your yeah though I remember one in Indiana oh yeah that was a rough that probably been
The roughest night of all of us but that was you know what’s funny about that what happened in indana we clenched the game and you and uh Brandon Bass about to fight and then I’m I’m sitting there Kevin yelling at me you get involved you
Going get involved I I was trying to I was trying to have the coaches stay out of it and we was trying to Resolute and then the the locker room just went up but I sat there and I waited and then Ray and Paul I mean
R start getting into it but I got to do the media so y’all don’t even know this part right I forgot so y’all arguing but I got to go out and do the media media’s outside the door when I so you remember I left the room yeah I could hear you
Still fighting and arguing and I walk out to the media and I said listen to our guys we won this game we won the gamech in there fighting and I walk out to the media and I said listen to our guys they’re celebrating I said in that I said this
Is the most wonderful team you know we about to have like and they’re in there fighting at the time about to get it on it’s about to be the Royal Rumble in here real [ __ ] so I actually said I’m not going to let you in right away I’m going to go back in
And celebrate with the guys and I had to go back in and break up the fights and the media never found out no one ever found out which is great and it got squashed but you know those things that’s part of families it really is man
I’ve as a coach that’s what you me I’ve had some crazy you got to write a book h i gonna change the names I’m gonna have to the coach takes it the hardest y’all don’t realize that because you always think like I I got y’all to play together and work together
Uh but when you can’t get two to work together you can’t win and people don’t understand that you can be as good as you want I always look back on the Clippers team if if we had had cooperation we had it the first year we just lost all right but then you didn’t
Have it anymore with each other not just with Coach player player if you think you’re going to win without that is that what the one thing y’all learned more than anything like you can’t win without and for me as a coach I don’t understand why players can’t see it like you got to
Get along you got to give up you got to when I got to the Clippers that’s when I saw the changing Dynamic of the league yeah because I got there and me coming from where I came from with the subjects how we was all together and I remember
Our first I’ll never forget our first roll game and we had breakfast and so I go into the breakfast room and everybody sitting at different tables and I was looking like what you mean I mean you might have CP Over Here Blake over here
I mean it was like so spread out I never seen nothing like it to where us we going to come and sit at one and two tables and talk about what we did last night or the facts of the day you know how we going to conversate we going what
We got to do tonight all that Al so if if you had a function yeah every was coming we had team dinners that I threw everybody didn’t come I mean it was it was just it it was hard dude I seen I seen it for the first time and I was
Like I ain’t used to this you know and then I remember I said I said I brought everybody in at the table when I got I was like y’all got to be together sit together you know Chris Chris Paul had a uh a charity event and it was on like
Two of his teammates there and I look like I’ve never seen this I went off the next day in practice I was like if if somebody has something we all you had to you had to say that you had to say over and over and over again we never had
That and I was like this is time for me to retire I got to Philly same stuff you know and and that’s where like you know we get into ourselves I’m busy I remember one of the players me I’m busy I got that’s like I’m busy too I didn’t
Want to go I didn’t want to go you think I wanted you know Kevin and Paul having a big bowling you think I want to go bowling on Thursday night no but they’re habit it and so it’s part of sacrifice you go and that’s what you know being in
The uh you know with my daughter uh Maring se you you kind of hear Steph and then talk about go that’s what they have if Steph shows something everybody’s there right Dr do some everybody those are the teams that win it’s no coincident like winning is not an
Accident it’s not man it’s either either you buy in or you’re not you’ll be good you’ll win a lot of games yeah but you ain’t gonna be the winner right I love it man who you like this year I’m about to say that who you who you got to win
It I don’t know right now I really don’t I think Boston and Milwaukee I think Philly’s a sleeper it is they are cuz Joel is he is people I mean I coach him he is he’s as good as I’ve ever seen um they’re dangerous and then there’s always
Another team Miami Miami is always there Indiana you better be careful I would like Indiana you should beat in the playoffs but I would not want to play them in the playoffs Orlando Orlando’s like Orlando’s young and they and they’re deep they deep and they Scrappy
I was about to say one thing I love about these young teams Indiana and Orlando they got dogs they got dogs what about OKC OKC in the west Shay yeah I mean listen I was part of it what you think about that I still are you shocked that his he don’t become Shay
Though if he stay on the Clippers he does he does he does ask Sam ask say Sam had you can ask Sam when we did the trade I told Sam I said man I know we got to do this trade but but Shay’s gonna be a superstar man wow oh you can
See it early I did you can superar he had a great rookie year and the other thing he has is character he’s a High character kid he works he he wants to be coach yeah he wants like he invites coaching um and he’s got a like people
Get Shay wrong Shay’s a dog like Shay’s got this nice you know demeanor but he is a dog like he wants to tear you up but he doesn’t The Smiling but Shay wants to rip you up and you can see it but now when I look back oh my goodness
For six first round picks damn holy goodness wow are you are you worried about Golden State any uh dog yeah I am I know um it’s just like us towards the end you got to break the but but they still could uh they may make a 2010 run
You know I know one thing do you want to play Golden St in the playoffs no no and then guess what no Klay Thompson going through probably arguably his worst time right yeah I I I really believe this you do not stay in this wave for too long
And at some point you come out of it yeah I’m about like you they they are one of them wounded animals that you don’t want to see and I think they’re going to be better the second half of the Year play Draymond is still Draymond yeah Steph is still Steph Wiggy is
Better all right Clay is not going to be the clay that he was ever because of injury someh a better version of what he’s doing he can still shoot the hell out of the ball and he’ll find his rhythm there um you know they may need
One more guy and I don’t know who that’s going to be but man I would not want to play them uh in a seven game series they’re GNA be rough if I’m a young team I don’t want to play that no no no um Phoenix is the team though man like
They’re they’re built to win they just haven’t looked good yet yeah they got you know but they they’re but they’ve had injury you know book gets hurt uh because of his style book’s a physical and then Bradley ain’t played yet yeah and I’m worried about his back so uh but
When you think about that and then you have uh Gordon coming off the bench I mean they’re they’re built to win so if they get it right they’re going to be tough but at the end day you still got to deal with that dude in Denver he’s the best player right now
Yeah because he just does everything Joel’s the best scorer yeah like Jo Joel’s the only guy that can stop Joel from scoring you can’t stop him you know he is he’s he can do everything but but the Joker man he just makes everybody better um they run the whole team they run the
Whole offense just throw him the ball you know Austin we we laugh Austin to this day says he ruined the worst pass in the history of the game uh he said he was cutting through just joging through ball came and he caught it but he was under the
Rhythm he hit the and he said he watch the highlights how he saw it where he sees I was talking to Bruce Brown today he was like man it’s nothing like it that’s what makes him so good he’s one of the most dominant selfless players that i’ I’ve ever seen ever like you
Don’t see a bigot be so selfless but still so Dom and we a talking about the the West is going to be the West playoffs going be a zo it’s going to be crazy it’s going to come out matchups right people don’t get not I think there’s no clear favorite I think the
Style is going to make the fight like if they have to play them or they have to play them that’s going to deter there certain teams that are may be the best team but they can’t the Clippers now Clippers are playing better I said that I said that all year the Clippers uh
They’re just so talented they a wild card um uh agree with that with the Clippers if they figure that little thing out cuz kawhai still kawhai people sleep on him Paul I feel like Paul George has taking the lead lately he has scoring for sure and then James what
James has added to them is now they have Zu rolling so they have a pick and roll James is phenomenal if you roll you can get that you know the question will be will he defend enough for them to win because last year the Clippers were a
Defensive team in a lot of ways in a lot of ways all right finals picks finals picks who you got I got I got Celtics verse Phoenix who you got you I’m going let you go I go live oh that’s a tough one that’s I’m between Celtics and
Boston and the Milwaukee and I’m not sure um I’m GNA go with the Celtics but that’s a tight one it’s it’s close it’s going to be tight uh and then I got um I got Denver Denver coming back yeah they do miss Jeff Brown both of those guys see I
Don’t feel like they’re like they’re be they’re are Champs but they’re being slept on but they were slept on last year yeah and Murray has been out uh just got back and no offense but I don’t feel like that you know how in the past you like all right the team that wanted
That next year you like they like I don’t yeah we were better than next year yeah that’s I don’t feel like that’s I feel like doesn’t get hurt oh my God I think we were 26 and three yeah brought that up the other day yeah we we we
Dominant there a couple teams that the next year that year we should have won 201 and then the year we had Shaq that that started start you know people forget like sh we I think we were like 15 and one in the game Shaq played in he
Was just too old yeah couldn’t play anymore his presence alone was great for us yeah oh man he was good and I I remember the one practice where you put Jack Jack one of the change coverages and Kevin says Hey Shaq this is what we do do it that’s right
We got all right we ain’t changing right I remember that and give Shaq Shaq was like that’s when I knew he was on board cuz he was like okay you right you got it we going to do how yall do it we going to do it this way we going do it
This way got it okay cool you know what’s funny about Shaq I been around Shaq my whole life right coached against him played against him one game right I never knew like this a crazy thing never knew how big he was cuz I’ve never around him right and you remember he
Wanted to play with us so he said hey coach y can and I drive over your house it was in Orlando I said yeah come on over the house let’s talk he pulls in in a semi TR which I made him park on the street bring that big thing in my
Driveway rip my driveway up Park this thing the diesel truck Superman logo yeah but then he gets out and I open the door and I’m looking at him Shaq and I’m like Shaq is a big dude you know like you forget trust me I knew I knew when

Me and Doc are the same age, but he looks better than me.
I’m confused I thought All the smoke was Matt Barnes & Stack shit lol
Awesome reunion….
One of my favorite episodes
Paul cried in the car after that Bron topic 🤣💀
WHO GUARDING BOONER LMAOOOO while sitting right next to him
Shout out to TA
Can you believe that team won one championship and gets celebrated as if it was a dynasty!!! Crazy!!
That team was my team and Doc was my coach! I’ve always been a fan of KG, but watching him play with Paul, Ray, Rondo, Big Baby, Perkins, Leon, E. House and being coached by Doc was everything.
why is lebron such a sore loser? could you guys debate that?
I enjoyed this podcast soooo much!!
Might be the best coach+player(s) interview I’ve ever see – insanely enjoyable!
As a die hard Lakers fan, this Boston team will always have my respect 🤝🏾💯. Can't wait until our next go round 👀🍿
KG is insane
They better never bring Doc anywhere near wemby lol..
KD got all mannerable…..L😂rd first…..niiiiiiga. Commendable, but just shows the thug side is for dramatics and full of cap.
Great Episode!
“Red head was hitin that MF”
With these lockers and based on how they are situated reporters standing outside could hear players going off .
Phenomenal episode
KG dressed like jamaican Arthur
45:26 KG got me cryinnn lmaooooooooo "in whatever" LMFAOOO
This is a great conversation, Paul Pierce still gets upset talking about LeBron 😂😂
I’m not even done with this episode and this is one for the books already
This is just beautiful, love seeing these guys trade their stories
The suns was a championship team, they get KD and now they mid, stop tryn stack superstars and put together a good team like the nuggets and the bucks

WCOAT
45:10 “ lord GOLF “😭 nah OG big lords 🤣
The part where Doc talks about the locker room being quiet and players not knowing how to speak to one another is crazy. Hope I’m not being a 33 year old “old head” by saying this 😂
