And first of all we appreciate you coming on the show and rocking with us.

Remember a bunch of wars we had with you during our playing days, man.

Always been a fan of yours and we just appreciate you bro for coming on.

Yes sir.

Yeah, thank you guys for having me here.

Always a pleasure since the beginning when the young boy from Russia joined the league and see two stars and the clippers just throw

on the ball to each other and dunk him and doing the local hats.

It was an amazing experience. Yes, sir.

When you first got to Lee, who's the first person you feel like bust your ass?

Oh, de Sean Stevenson was only practice.

D.C. D.C. oh, this deal he was like explosive, great defensively.

He was like standing on his feet. I was like I couldn't beat him when we have the

one on one drill, you like you dribbled the ball and he always in front of you like oh my God this is amazing speed and the like the explosives

anytime he got the ball oh my, it's like Vince Carter,

you can't get the chance for him to lend his foot closer to the rim.

You have to like be there.

Otherwise, he's gonna be poster right. It's a poster right away.

Me, Steve, shout out to D. Steve.

Yeah, shout out D. Steve.

And then, playing-wise, I think if we're talking about big players who was like face of the league at that time,

in the beginning of my career, Alan Houston, Vince Carter, then like going a little bit to the middle,

Kobe Bryant was the face of the league and he was the avatar of Michael Jordan.
