  Speaker 1: I was running who you was talking about. I was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: looking for that. You need to really need to stop backing.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Would I would just go back when we when we
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: first met many years ago, used to come up to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the Steve Hurry Morning Show. I was the producer. We
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: just we just we were chopping up back then when
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you were doing those Magic Johns and All Star Games
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: back in the day. Man, I've always been a big
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: fan of yours. But one thing I wanted to say
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: about you is that I said renaissance man, And I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: said that with with with a lot of uh what
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I say, uh, pride, Because man, you've always from the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: jump you kind of like you kind of like started
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: this little motion of for these athletes going out there
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: into entertainment. So I'm gonna give you credit, man, because
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you jumped out there first, and because you you know
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you you you You've had an amazing career. Because I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: always tell people because I followed your career and unfortunately
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it was filled with injuries, and but every time you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: came back from an injury, you performed at a high level.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And I want to just out there right quick. Was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: what was that motivation? Because a lot of times when
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you get injured, you can just give up. You can
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: just say, hey, man, wow, I'm tired of this, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you came back. Every time you came back. Man, you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: was a bad man on that court. Explain to this
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: how did that happen? Burn Man? You know, I think
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it's just from my upbringing, you know, uh, going up
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm chilling the sands and she got to survive, right,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And you know it's like it's now people are calling
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it uh PTSD right. Uh. But I think that when
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you go up in situations like you know, in the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: n City, you just learning how to survive. And when
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you're back against the wall, it's almost like you're so
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: used to that, you're so comfortable and familiar with that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that it just becomes the norm. And so for me,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, every time I got injured, you know, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: always know I have my mind and you know, my
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: imagination and and will and you just don't realize how
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: much how much you can benefit from having you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: great imagination, because that's really what it's driven you to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: this point, away from basketball, getting into projects. How does
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: like say, I used the word independent mogul, you know
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in the movie Game, How does want to bring an
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: idea to you because I'm sure you get you get,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you get addressed with this situation all the time. Somebody
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: got an idea, Hey man, all that needs some money
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: from you burn, come on mare and hook me up
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a good job. Idea gonna make a millions of dollars?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: What drives you in the creative platform? For me, it's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: being creative. It's being a person who always asked people
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for money. Hey man, let me get them let me
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: get some money to make a movie from you know
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: what what what drugs needs is? I think that there's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a an opportunity, sir and um, you know, to tell
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: great stories and stories about us, worries about you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: how we um, who we are, what we do see
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: ourselves in different lives. Um, you know you're starting to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: see a little bit. Black Panther was one. Um, you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: know we got to get out and Moonlights. So you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: there's always gonna renaissance of black cinema. And you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for me, just I want to be a historian, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and be a part of that. And so creatively it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: just going back and you know, mining our culture. And
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I gotta and I gotta thank you for that, for
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: making it happen, because you was out there when reality
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Reality TV was the finding black culture. It really was
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: for a period there you know, we were fighting on TV,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was Argon on TV? We was, but you was out
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: there telling the real stories, finding real story stories that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we could we could hang our hat on, that we
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: can learn about ourselves. And to see that turning into
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: like you said, the Black Panthers, the Moonlighting, the Blackish,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know, the Steve Harvey brands, you know, the Michael
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Michael Strahan's brand. These brands are very as they say,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: general market brands. So it means that that that that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: people are accepting our culture because of the fact that,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you know, rapp has really played a major role in that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: We have to say that because because of the fact
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that rap music, Uh, the same young people who grew
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: up on rap music were works accepting and so now
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: they're carrying that that mantle into the decision making. So
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that that plays a major role in your
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: success to career. Absolutely, uh, you know, and I think
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: that you know what when we when we say us,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you know, it's really about I supporting us. That's why
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it ain't a lot of movies or TV shows things
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: like that. It's like we're always waiting for someone to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: come and say the day for us, are waiting for
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you know, someone the green light of projects. And you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I'm just you know, kind of enjoying being in this
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: renaissance because I know that, you know, just like you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the straight hands and the will packers, Michael B. Jordan's
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: all the great stuff. Come on, come on that I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: do then, you know, and Byron David's come on that,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: come on, come on, We're doing it. We're doing it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But you know, for me, it's it's about once again,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: just studying history and studying culture to say, okay, how
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: can I be the connective tissue two building? Uh you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: uh an economy right. So that's why I'm playing all
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: over the place and film and TV and investments because
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: we need some economic institution. But you're not afraid. But
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you're not afraid to be to be the personality. You
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: know when I see you on T and T, you know,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you know, being being funny, being entertaining, being a person
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: knowing that's a role that you're playing because for a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: check and but delivering information, I'm thinking it's a man,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: you know, Uh, this is the first thing we've ever
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: sat down to talk. But I've over they always been
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: impressed with your your versatility, and not just from an
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: athletics standpoint, because I always felt that you was beyond that,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: because you always had an opinion when you were playing.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You know, you wasn't a guy just going to sit
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: over there and just go dribble the ball. You had
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: some thoughts, but you know, and you said your thoughts,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of people didn't like that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But I think that that what drives you today. If
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you if you I want to bring you back. I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: want to finish this interview if you can hold on
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the phone, because I want to talk about some of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: your more your more visionary things that you have planning. Man,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: But thank you for getting on the call. I know
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you had to get your kids off to school, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, brother, because I got a child and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that's what I would be too. We've been right back,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: more money making conversations. He's still on the line. He's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a renaissance man. He had a thirteen year NBA career,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a two time NBA All Star. When the pressure was
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on give him the ball. That's why I would see,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: given the out the way, get out the way, Get
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: out the way, universe, here your guard. He come when
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: he was a point guard. So he just get away,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: get away. I got this, I got this. He's an
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: amazing entrepreneur. In the call a movie a Moving Mogel.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: When I met him, he was still playing back in
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: l a um even coming to the morning show booth
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey myself, I was the executive producer of the show,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and even though he was there for an athletic reason,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I alway knew it was something different about this guy
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: because he had an opinion and he didn't mind telling
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you his opinion. And that's not a bad thing, because
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I think in life you have to define who you are.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Because I always tell people what you what you do
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: in your twenties is what you're gonna be making money
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in your forties and fifties. So he was defining them
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: back then and today he's on the car right now
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to talk about a lot of the successes now Vitamin water,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: my man, I've heard a lot of people make a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: lot of money off that, but you were one of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the original investors. A lot of people followed you into
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that water hunt sir, uh you know I got lucky man.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Stop stopping. Stop man at talking to people like him,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: because I'm telling you something. See see, I saw him
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: when he was young. I saw him when he was young. Okay,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: hoop was his main game, all right, but it was
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: something about he had the ability to communicate. He's very
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: personable and he is a thinker, you know what. You
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: have a look at people and you go they're thinking
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: about something that they're talking to me, but they're thinking
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: about something else. So he's very observant. And so so
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: when he said lucky, I don't buy that. I don't
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: buy that because he man, I need you need to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: stop you go down you hey, because because the fact
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that that's why I wanted you. I'm glad you took
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: time to be on the show. And I'm glad that
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: because it's individuals like you, because people see one side
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of you. They see you know, social media post on you,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: they see you on NBA. But I'm just telling you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: this is not something just train of you've been or
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: what you're doing is not something automatic you've been. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: always tell Peo about magic and magic Johnson didn't drible
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the basketball. He was going to be an entrepreneur. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I said the same thing about that about you be
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you were gonna be an entrepreneur. You're gonna be in
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: some creative lane of life. It just God gave you
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a unique talent that was driven into basketball. You turned
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: it into a scholarship. You turned it into a thirteen
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: year NBA career, and you're making money and you enjoying it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: That's what money making. Conversations about balance lifestyle. You had
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: time for your children. That's balance lifestyle. Man, your special dude.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I will not let you leave this show not knowing
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that from Rouhan McDonald. No, I appreciate that, man, I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Sean uh I was saying, you're suggesting not
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: being a phrase itself, right right? You know, um the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: vitamin want to deal that can? Because I was out
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of my sprite deer. Uh I wanted to be my
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: own agent, and people thought I was crazy, But you
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: know I was also like, what is what is spride
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: gonna do for me? You know ten years from now? Right?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: You know, I'd rather be with it. I'd rather be
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: with a company nobody know about get less and you know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: work with the marketing team to help time blow it
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: up and uh so with vitamin water. It was when
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the deal came and I was just like, hey man,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I'm making enough money playing basketball. I'll take it in equity.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Super smart for a dummy kid. But it was like,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you know, you take chances. Um, all right, I'm gonna
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: be my own agent at twenty years old. But I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: need to step out of this business of what everything
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: is traditional and everything that I've heard and wanted from
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: my agent. I need to look. I need to look
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: outside his eyes and hang you from a business standpoint
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and figure out how the bastard business around basketball. You know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: big shout out to Magic Johnson. And you know a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: lot of the guys who were veteran guys in the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: NBA at the time, you know, because they were, they
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: were always encouraging young people that, hey man, you don't
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: need an agent, you don't need this, you don't need that.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So it's just like if you learn from people who say,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: especially your eldiness, you can create opportunities. And for me,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it was all about nobody's doing this, let me try
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: this right. As soon as somebody said no, it made
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: me work harder, study harder to prove them wrong. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that's why you're a vitamin water mogul. Ever and everybody
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: following the met be doing that. I'm doing I'm doing
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it too, just writing checks out there. Let me let
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: me the match you this now, you know, because you
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about technology and there's a there's a
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: huge gap that you that you want to make you're
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: trying to close. How are you playing a role in
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: closing the racial gap? Because I've always been a proponent
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a person that says that, you know, we buy technology,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you know, African Americans we buy smartphones, we buy we
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: buy Apple phones, you know, but sometimes we don't get
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: credit for that. We don't get credit for being technically savvy,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and we are. So how do you how do you?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: How do you are you using your brand to close
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that gap of information? Uh? For me, it's just about
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you to right. You gotta hire, you gotta invest, you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: gotta find the people who who are doing it. Um.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I was just visiting with a lady who's been in
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: for thirty five years in our last and she's been
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: she's been pushing technology for thirty five years, and now
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it's finally out of place where people can well, we
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: can actually get some credit, right, But we have all
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: these pioneers, is, all these hidden figures throughout our history,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and we've just never embraced them. And now that everything
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: is a buzz word, right, it's almost like we always
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: think that we're late. Right, we're not late to technology
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: because technology is going to be the baseline of this world.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: We just don't support and rally around our elders and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: rally around the people that have done it and then
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: pay it back. And so for me, I think that
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you know, tech is tech is a it's a buzz word,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: but it's something that you know, we should be teaching
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: our kids now, said a better on the iPad than
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: we are. So we should be teaching them how to code.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: We should be teaching them how to design, right, we
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: should be putting them in design camps things like that. Um,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you know, even if much as even when they play sports,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: they got to take art, they gotta take a length
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to do something with that computer, right,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: because the way the world is going and the way
• 16:07
