Yeah. I mean, dude, KG just is just an intimidating force. Just like looking at him like, man, like his aura. Yeah.

 like he got a whole aura about him like just walking in the room and then if he start barking at you and saying stuff it’s just like you got to understand a lot of the and he do it to the younger guys too a lot of the younger guys looked up to him they did and it was just like you know I didn’t heard some stuff like is that true what he told what he told y Joe Noah cuz he’s like hey man I admire you man the way you play he said man get off my D man bad man bad man bad man bad man bad man bad man bad man bad man bad man bad man

” He was like, “Yeah, KG, man. I just want you to know, you know, man, I look up to you. Uh, man, I had your poster and everything, man. Damn, you know, I would love to work out.” Something something along that. like man get off my D. Like y was like, damn. No, but look. No, but look, it was another one. Here go another one.

 Here go another story. That whole thing got out. It was another player. He was like, hey, uh, hey, we at the free throw line again. Cuz, you know, this guys like to talk. He like, hey, Kev, man, I just want to invite you. you know, I’m having my wedding this summer. Uh, you know, I would like to continue your advice, man.

Kevin, man looked up and said, “Fuck you.” Like, go damn. I was like, “Damn, KG.” I look like So, the one thing I did learn, dude, don’t talk to Kevin during the game. Like, talk to him before or after or text him that. Like y’all over here telling this stuff during the game. He is in full gladiator mode right now.

 Dude, leave him alone. Right. Like come on. Stop that y’all. The the the the the situation that he and Carmelo got into it. The Cheerios things have been debunked. Yeah. But how surprised were you were you that Melo was waiting at the bus and wanted to throw heads at KG? Yeah. I see. I didn’t know what was going on cuz I think I was still in the shower or something.

uh you know before I realized what was going on right like and I didn’t even hear what was said to this day and I’ve never asked him right you know it’s just certain sick things you just don’t even want to know if it’s true or not you know and that’s one of them for me and it was just like damn he must have he really got under Melo’s skin and then when it came out that he was talking about something about his wife and all that and I was like man I didn’t heard KG talk a lot of [ __ ] but he ain’t I don’t think he went there with it

you know what I’m saying maybe he thought he heard something like that, but I ain’t I ain’t never heard nothing to that to where you like that’s crossing the line. Yeah. Oh yeah. You know, hey man, people wife, man, people don’t play about the wives, the girlfriend, kids. Hey, you stay away from that. Yeah. Stay away from that.

 Everything else is fair game. All right. We playing a game. It’s whatever. But like the personal family and and kids and vibes, stay keep that out of it. Now, I’ve heard the girlfriend stuff a lot. The girlfriends is open. Yo, they do. Yeah, for sure. The girl, if it’s just your girlfriend, that’s open season.

 I didn’t heard stuff like that. Not for real, but other players like, “Hey, that’s your girl.” “Oh, yeah, she was with me.” It’s like, “You said that game.” I was like, “What?” To the other player and the player was all this game the rest of the game, man. It’s some stuff. I know you just heard some stuff, too. Oh, for sure. Oh, man.

I might have uttered a few things. Let’s go ahead and talk that you know like you said fair game fair game fair game you you uh you uh uh uh did you smack talk trash talk to Kobe sometime but like like Kobe he he he different like he just he he he like his sometime his mouth talk was breathing hard on you like he just had this look in his nose.

 He had this thing with his nose and flared like like like he wouldn’t say nothing. I was just like, “Oh [ __ ] you know what? I should have said nothing to do.” No, but it was one Allstar game. Uh so we beat them in the finals. So the next year in the All-Star game, he at the free throw line and I yelled something from the bench like that’s why y’all blew it last year or something. I said something foul.

Yeah. You You going to choke like you did in the finals last year? You choke? Yeah. I said, “You choke? You going to choke?” Man, we was about to fight in the All-Star game. For real, dude. He came over to me on the bench, walked right dead over there, got in my face. I had to stand up like, “Hold up. Hold on.

 You ain’t going to stand up on me now.” Come. Yeah. Yeah. You a Yeah. So, I had to stand up like, “What you talking about then?” So, I’m thinking like, “Dude, like he he really like we it’s the Allar game. I know we like I’m thinking we about to squabble in the Allar game.” He was He was hot. I I was like, damn. All right. You know what? I ain’t trying to do all that in a for real, man. I was like, damn.

 I sure you know what? Let me chill. You mentioned the battle like you said, look, I’m not a top 75 player. I’m not thought of as a player I am if I don’t have those battles with LeBron. When he’s at Cleveland, when he’s at Miami, he’s in Miami, I’m in I’m in in uh Brooklyn. you a lot of times you guys guarded each other.

Uh that game that game I think was that game six. I think it was game six. You had 40, he had 42 or you had 42, he had 40. But you guys were going at it. You guys I mean that was that was uh we game seven Boston. We both had 40. Yeah. You guys were going at it. Yeah. So how you what are you trying to do to get him off his game? Um, is there a spot you’re trying to keep him from getting to? Are you talking to him like, “Bro, this this not your year.

 This this is this is not it.” I would talk to LeBron at the go our meetings at the free throw line again. Like, oh, he you know, I always used to say he going to choke at the line cuz at the time he was always missing big free throws. But like the the like when he’s on, you can’t stop him because the the the strategy is to make him shoot jumpers, right? But if his jumper is on, if he hitting then it’s over, right? And that’s what happened in that game that game six in the guard.

Yeah. Oh, he was hitting everything. Fadeaways, threes, because the the scouting is to go under the pick and roll, right? Let him shoot jumpers. And if if his jumper is on, it’s nothing you can do cuz he’s on. Now, if you like when you get down, you don’t want to give him the free jumper cuz now you got to get up right now.

 He going by and doing all that, man. It was just like, man, you got to pick the the lesser of two evils. But if he got them both going, it’s a long night. And he’s so strong, man. I just remember trying to foul him, bro. You damn near had to WWF him to just stop him from getting the and one. Like I remember so many different fouls I gave.

 I’m damn near tackling them and he still almost cuz you see the one with the Mars twin when he play Boston and he grabs him by the back and LeBron still lays it up and get I did that so many times to where it’s down. You damn near got to tackle him to stop him from like getting the and one, right? Especially when he got that full steam ahead.
