00:05 >> There's context for why we was a failure, right?

00:07 >> Well, but that's not why I said.

00:09 >> I'm just saying.

00:10 >> No, but do you think about that?

00:12 >> No.

00:13 >> Could have been at all?

00:14 >> No, I mean, it's just a pointless exercise in my opinion to think about what

00:18 could have been.

00:19 I mean, what happened, that's what I'm thinking.

00:21 That's what I thought about what actually happened, the reality of it.

00:26 We didn't have enough time together, that's just it.

00:28 Guys wanted to go their separate ways.

00:30 We tried our hardest to salvage everything and bring everything together.

00:35 We had three or four different teams when I signed here until when I left.

00:40 But at the end of the day, I enjoyed coming into work, playing for,

00:46 being a part of this community and playing and representing Brooklyn.

00:50 Regardless of what went on, what's said or how I felt, I still came to work.

00:56 >> Listen, I don't have a problem with the guy that he liked Brooklyn and

01:01 that he liked the organization.

01:03 Everyone said he was cool.

01:04 All the workers that worked at the Barclays liked him.

01:07 He was friendly to everybody, cool to everybody.

01:09 But the reality is this, is that they put those three superstars together and

01:13 they failed miserably.

01:14 Now, he's got it again with Beale and Booker, and they never get it done either.

01:22 Now, look, do you really think the Suns are winning at all?

01:25 I doubt it.

01:26 And then the other one is, the only one he ever won with was Curry.

01:29 Curry got him MVPs and chips.

01:33 He got rings playing with Steph Curry and Clay Thompson.

01:36 Before Clay Thompson got all tore up with his knee and Achilles,

01:40 he played on the best team in the NBA, and that's why he's got chips.

01:44 The team he was on was the best.

01:46 The teams he played on in Brooklyn and Phoenix that he's playing on currently

01:49 are just superstars that are never happy.

01:53 Superstars that are never happy.

01:54 Even though their bags are the size of garbage trucks,

01:59 the money that they make, these guys.

02:01 They make enough money to fill up a garbage truck in the back,

02:06 filled with cash, and they're still not happy.

02:10 It is amazing to me, cuz when you're a kid playing ball,

02:12 when you're just a kid playing ball, when he was growing up in the Beltway,

02:16 playing ball in DC, he never dreamt that he would have this much effing money.

02:22 And then you get it, and you're still miserable.

02:25 Then I put it on you, you're just a miserable person with money.

02:28 But when you play with a great team, he won chips.

02:32 He was never on a great team in Brooklyn.

02:33 He said he played on four teams.

02:35 He's playing on a team now that isn't great either.

02:37 But he played on a great one in Golden State, and

02:40 he left on his own accord cuz he wasn't the man.

02:43 Even though he won two MVPs, he wasn't the man, Curry's the man.

02:47 That's Curry's team to this day.

02:48 >> It certainly is.

02:51 >> No, and I think that this team, like you're saying,

02:53 is gonna be the same fate as Brooklyn.

02:55 >> Wow. >> They'll be out first round,

02:58 second round.

02:59 They're not gonna win any NBA championships.

03:01 Eventually, they're gonna start not liking each other, Booker, him.

03:05 >> It doesn't matter.

03:07 >> That'll all break up eventually as well.
