What memories will you take from the 2000 finals experience against the Lakers?
Shack a monster.
I mean, you don't you ain't have to go through the finals to know that though.
Hey, man. But it was different then.
Yeah, it was different then because in Orlando it was like the the the the younger more athletic Shaq and then like later in his career people got to see like the the powerful like right in front of the rim Shaq. But like 2000, like he was playing D on pick and roll still and like blocking shots. Like he was blocking shots, laying you down if you start getting too loose.
Exactly. And he he was like willed against us. He was like 40 20 and he's making his free throws. But but another great thing, man, is Kobe's coming out party and he hit us with the get down lay down. That was dope cuz he was arguing with their bench. Like I used to hear Phil yelling at Kobe, "Pass the ball, move the ball, get off of it." We like, "Yeah, yeah, get off of it." Like, I don't know what game he watching.
You know what I'm saying? Right. And Shaq fouled out. Hey, man. Cole, I love Cole so much. He went to work on us and then he hit that jump right at the top of the key and he did this. That wasn't even to us. That was to his team.
Yeah. Because they didn't even believe he was running back. He was looking at them when he did. He was looking at.
Y'all know when Cole first got drafted to the I probably shouldn't say I'm going try not to say too much of what I know, but like Cole was resented by his own teammates.
He said that he said on our show on our show by his own teammates. I couldn't believe it. They was hating on him. I'm like, why y'all going to hate on him?
Cuz he was that confident. But he ain't he ain't even like go out. He ain't drink. He was over at UCLA with us. We was in college. He was a Laker on our campus chilling.
I worked out with him that one summer. And you know, Rob ended up being his agent. I was with them and Cove and I, you know, young. Yeah. We going to go after the workout, we going to go get a massage. You know what I'm saying? Went to the little spa, little Burke spa in Santa Monica or whatever. I went and got it in. I'm in LA. Got my little spot in Santa Monica getting it in. He went back to the gym and I ain't even realized he was doing it. He was going back to the gym. And so like for him to me to watch him from like 96 when he got drafted and wasn't even appreciated by his own teammates to like be in that moment where Shack was ended up being like the for first 46 minutes of the game and he ended up being the last two and that's why I started calling him like the remix of MJ cuz to me he looked like MJ. He sound like MJ. He move like MJ the next best thing.
