00:01Durant scared me because when Durant score

00:04He don't say nut he ain't getting nobody excited. He ain't trying to get LeBron pissed off or pumped up. He just score on my man and shhhh

00:12Only thing he does at the end of the game. He kisses mama hug his brothers. All right, I'm out game over

00:18But the one thing he does I don't know if you watched it. The first thing he does is what with them numbers

00:24Touch them numbers on the front touch them numbers on the back and he's doing that for who?

00:30His coach that was killed. He got a why

00:32He got a what he just playing for no championship

00:35He not you got to hear what I'm telling you if y'all gonna be great on that field you gotta have a why

00:44You gotta have a reason for why you do what you do. All he keep thinking about is I'm gonna get one for my coach

00:50That's why he ain't all smiling because why he's not smiling because what he's trying to accomplish he has not what he ain't got it yet

01:00Y'all better start watching these games, bro, because you're gonna need to do what these champions doing if you're gonna be a champion

01:07The problem with some of y'all the reason why you don't give a hundred and twenty percent every doggo time you get on the field because you ain't got a why for what you do

01:16You ain't got a why

01:18So because you don't live long you don't have time not to make your dreams and goals become reality every single day

01:26Because you don't know how long you have every single day should be about what can I do?

01:31What can I have? What can I be and you got to hang out with other people?

01:36We're on the same trajectory you own

01:40Anything you could think of if you could actually think of it. It means you can do it

01:46There is no dream. That's too big. There is nothing that you could think up in your head that you can't do

01:51Listen to me closely everybody want to win everybody want to be on the winning team everybody want to win but everybody don't want to work

02:02Everybody want to reward but everybody don't have to want to work. We all got to work

02:06You have to make a decision that nobody in your position will outwork you

02:13You here now

02:15You here now

02:16You finally made it and this is where you break up. This is where you start chilling. This is where you get comfortable

02:23You made it now. This is where you make it permanent

02:28Why do you wake up in the morning? Why do you put on that jersey? Why do you go out and practice? What's your why?

02:33I'm about to give everything I got and I will know if I don't get another gig

02:38It won't have nothing to do with the fact that I didn't put everything on the field

02:43You better grow up and get to the point as a man that if you ever get beat you better get beat by somebody

02:49That's just purely more talented than you are you better not ever get beat by somebody because you beat yourself

02:55At the end of the day your superpower is when you are your authentic self

02:59that's your superpower is when you're you if I'm going to be like anybody else is not gonna work and

03:08At the end of the day if you are your authentic self, that's the one percent

03:12There is one percent of us that don't care about what nobody else say or think about us. We're gonna be our authentic self

03:19That's what the one percent is. I'm number one. Why just because I'm being myself

03:22At all cost

03:26It does not take talent. You don't have to be talented. You don't have to be gifted

03:32You don't have to be the quickest the strongest you don't have to be the most intelligent to get to where I am

03:38That's what you got to do. You just got a grind though. You're grind listen to me. You might come from privilege

03:44Your daddy might hook you up with a car. He might know people he might be able to get you a job

03:50But you will not outwork me

03:54The reality is is not that you don't have the talent it is what it is y'all can run just as fast

04:00You can catch you can throw you can tackle I said here's the problem

04:04The problem is you got average will there's two things you need to do to take advantage of this opportunity and be a dog

04:10You need phenomenal skill and you need phenomenal will you need both

04:15I'm telling you you got to have phenomenal will and I wasn't smart as you, but I passed you up

04:21Why because I had that dog I had that will I had that determination. I don't care that I can't read or write

04:28Like I fell English twice in college

04:31I still got a four-year degree took me 12 years

04:34But that dog that will I say if God gave me the ability to get up

04:38Yeah, it might take me five days to do what it take you to do in one day

04:43But I'm gonna do it in five

04:44It may take me four weeks to read a book that you can read in a week

04:47But I but I got that I got that dog and guess what happens if you don't have phenomenal skill

04:53But you got phenomenal will you can make up for skill. I

04:56I went in the dark y'all. I went in the dark for 10 years. I watch no TV. I listen to no music

05:03Sacrifice I sacrifice like 10 years to catch up with everybody else

05:08Like for real ADHD I had a learning disability when I was younger like I overcame all of that with that dog

05:14I overcame all of that with will so I cut the TV off. I cut off intramural sports

05:19I cut off everything I cut it off

05:22I'm up at three o'clock in the morning praying and after that I'm reading I'm studying

05:27Listen to me very closely two things skill and will like you only had a small dream

05:32You had a dream of a house and a car and to take care of your mama all that is done

05:37So what you plan for what you plan for you ain't plan for nothing. That's why they beat you

05:42Discipline is doing what you said you were gonna do when you don't feel like doing it when you felt like doing it in the first place

05:51That's all it is when you first start playing this game when you fell in love with it

05:56You was just like let's go. Let's go. Let's go

05:58But did such stuff gonna happen like I gotta dig deep now and go a little harder. I actually wear harder

06:04You've got to discipline yourself and you got to learn that when you don't feel like it

06:10You must still do it or actually go harder when you don't feel like it because out of three hundred and sixty five days

06:16There are going to be days. You don't feel like getting up. They're gonna be days. You don't want to work out

06:21There's gonna be days. You don't want to watch film. There's gonna be days that you don't want to practice

06:25They're gonna be days. You might not even want to play there might be days

06:28You don't even feel like getting in the game, but listen to me very closely

06:33Champions if you want to make it to the next level you got to win in the dark before you can win in the light

06:38All of us can go buy a car, but all of us can't get up in the morning and grind

06:44I'm not that guy that just started off and had everything together is like I learned I grew and

06:52Got better so I'm a living example that you have to be born number one to be number one

06:59You can be last born last but through hard work determination

07:05You can work your way up to number one

07:08You told yourself to get up at three is three get your butt up

07:11You cannot tell nobody else to get up at three o'clock in the morning

07:14You can't tell nobody else how they need to grind they grind look like they grind

07:19You can't tell nobody you need to get up early. Maybe they don't know. You know what you need to do. You gotta have a say for you

07:25So if you don't separate yourself growth is the greatest separated between me and as you grow

07:33Right, you see CP3 leadership grow you see the way he handles himself growth

07:38So I'm asking what sacrifices are you willing to make everybody want what you want

07:42Everybody want to go to the lead everybody want to take care of their family

07:46Everybody want to be a celebrity or whatever you want to be right. What are you willing to give up for?

07:50What are you willing to sacrifice?

07:54That's that's next level that's saying that although I'm already great at what I do. I'm ready to dig deeper

08:01I'm ready to do so I'm ready to make another sacrifice. I'm ready to go somewhere everybody else ain't where to go

08:06Why because I'm ready to take it to the next level

08:09No matter what has happened to you no matter what somebody said to you no matter what somebody did to you

08:14I need you to walk away knowing you were one of one

08:18Strive for perfection don't mean you got to be perfect, but strive for people tell me all the time

08:22Oh, you got this thing is image. You try to be one thousand percent. I'm trying to be perfect

08:27One thousand percent it on me. I'm not trying to dog you out. I'm not judging you

08:32I don't even think I'm better to you, but I am striving for perfection. I am

08:36I'm definitely not trying to be the same version of Eric Thomas

08:39I was last year or the month before I'm definitely if you knew me five years ago

08:43You better take a picture

08:46Because the only way you're gonna be able to prove that person existed is that you got film on it

08:52I'm telling you that you got to be possessed with division and somebody's trying to mess up my vision

08:59And I need to make sure my vision is protected and cared for

09:03If you really want to be happy getting that vision you think a car gonna make you happy

09:07I promise you won't you think a house comment you think status you think you think you think I promise you

09:13I promise you you get in that vision you're gonna sweep so well at night

09:17When you go level up

09:20What's the goal what's the mission what's the priority what's the purpose stay focused on the mission and don't let anything

09:28Distract you from getting it done. Don't fight me. No fussing get focused focus on the goal

09:33Are you listen? I'm saying like we ain't we ain't letting the noise distracts. I need you to leave

09:37I don't know how much time I have left on this earth

09:40So I have to focus on you have to focus on what's the goal? What's the mission? What's the priority? What's the purpose?

09:52Opportunity

09:54You have an opportunity of a lifetime

09:58When you understand you have an opportunity you just you play a little different

10:03When I dropped out of high school and I started going to this church and let me speak I picked up the mic I

10:10Was 16 years old. I picked up the mic

10:13I'm not gonna say it was the best speech I ever did but when I picked up that mic and got off that stage

10:17I was like yeah, I can do it. So hear what I'm saying opportunity

10:24I got an opportunity you got an opportunity. So here's the deal when you have an opportunity. Why would you give 80%?

10:3070%

10:32Why would you give 80%? 70%? Why wouldn't you always give a hundred and twenty percent?

10:38It's sports it's basketball. Why wouldn't you give a hundred twenty percent?

10:43You can't dictate if the ball gonna always go in you can't dictate what kind of games you gonna have you can't dictate how your body is

10:51Gonna respond to moving around, but you can dictate your what?

10:54You can't dictate your good you can't dictate your you can't always give a hundred and twenty percent effort

11:06And every day I want you to wake up and not just go I'm sweet like that. I want you to go. I'm not just going with skills

11:12There's a one type of dude who feel like because he's gifted that it's just an automatic road for him

11:21Let me tell y'all something you are gifted, but you gotta humble yourself. You gotta understand that pride come before fall

11:26You may get it, but right now what oh

11:30I can't hear y'all you may get it, but right now what you don't have it

11:37That's not what get you in the lead not what what you were born with you got skill and you got will you got

11:43Skill and you got will two total different things you were born with certain things

11:48But to get to the next level and not just get to the next level to study at the next level you got to have will

11:56So when you play you have to compete

12:00I'm a high school dropout my daddy wasn't in my life

12:03But I found out I had a gift then I found out your gift shall make room for you

12:08And I'm like you mean to tell me if I perfect this I can eat and my kids can eat and my kids kids can eat

12:14From today on you play whatever your best game is you play that level every single time

12:29So some of you like me I have my dad

12:36Right I'm from Chicago Southside. I have my father in my life. I

12:39I

12:42Don't know who my grandfather is my mom got pregnant with me at 17 years old. I

12:48Didn't have the people in my life that was supposed to be in my life

12:51So I made some stupid decisions dropped out of high school homeless living in abandoned buildings eating out of trash can

12:56I promise you if a speaker came I was like some of y'all wasn't saying nothing. Guess what happened? Guess what happened?

13:05Yeah, one day I got a why

13:09I got married. I had a son

13:12And everything changed for me. That's why I'm asking you who do you love?

13:18So when people ask me et why you get up at 3 o'clock in the morning?

13:21Why are you putting videos up every day at 3 o'clock in the morning on Instagram number one?

13:24Because I want to be the best that ever done it like I honor my craft

13:29I won't dr. Martin King to look at me ago. That's it kid

13:32I won't Malcolm X to look at me ago. That's it kid just like you got the Hall of Fame in basketball

13:37I want to be the Hall of Fame and speaking

13:39I want all the greats to look at me and go that's it right there number one

13:44I'm competing against everybody else in the world. I'm not mad at them. I'm not against them

13:48But when you number one, you don't have to negotiate with your check

13:51I remember when I was like number 25 or something they would be like, okay, you got to fly here

13:58You got to fly now. I tell people how I fly

14:02I tell people where I stay where I don't stay so number one in the world. What happened one day?

14:06I woke up was like I got to do this for my wife

14:11Like I don't know what happened when she called me like yo eat I'm lost like what you mean we lost

14:15We live in lands gave me lost like I'm lost. I got a brain fog took her to the hospital find out she had MS

14:21The doctor was like look this is the one thing we could tell you stress caused MS. I told my girl you will never work again

14:34My son I didn't go to college when you finish high school and go to Michigan State. I'm cashing you out. I

14:41Found out I had a gift. I started thinking about what my mom need what my sisters need what my and a lot of y'all you selfish flat-out

14:48How many units rule some of y'all you good you don't make it to the league your time work that ain't all y'all

14:54How many y'all your mama really need me you to go to the league? Let me see your hand

15:01Hands down. I'm gonna say it again

15:02How many y'all need to move your mama out that neighborhood and y'all need to put your mama in another neighborhood and the league is how you gonna get there?

15:10Let me see your hand

15:11So what I'm trying to tell you is why you playing it might be some cats in the league who really are going or who do come from privilege?

15:19And you like thinking you them. I promise you I ain't stupid. I ain't Tony Robbins

15:24I don't come from where you come from. I don't come from what Kiyosaki come from

15:28I don't come from where Z came from my mama barely finished Dunbar. I'm from the south side of Chicago

15:34I ain't had no safety net

15:39You actin like if you don't make it to the NBA you got like some second opportunity that's gonna pay you a hundred mil

15:49How many y'all in the room right now your mama got a safety net so other than you making it to the league

15:54You got another way where you about to make a hundred mil. Let me see your hand real quick

15:59Because that's what you actin like

16:04Now if your parents got that hey you you good, but some of you your mom ain't got that so when you hoop from now

16:10Oh, I don't want you to see basketball. I want you to see your mama getting out the hood

16:16So every time you get your handle straight your mama is that closer to doing what?

16:23Every time you get your character straight you heard what the man said

16:27He said that they got to choose between the two of y'all. They not choosing the snotty-nosed dude who thank you everything who don't speak to people

16:35You know when they all with man, they always pick me. I always ask why y'all pick me and not the other speakers

16:39They say cuz you easiest to work with

16:42Because when you come you don't talk down to nobody you clean up behind yourself. He just said I'm a grown man

16:48They said you clean up behind yourself. You you don't cause problems

16:54Number one, this is not about basketball this is about who

16:59Yourself in there who your family

17:04So the days you don't feel like working out

17:07It's easy. How do you get motivated? How you get pumped up?

17:11You think about mama and that feeling on draft day and which more which one is more important you get some rest or mama coming to the draft?

17:18Well, I'm just being real which one is more important

17:21So somebody locking you down you're trying to score they locking you down like in your mind

17:25You got to go. Oh, this ain't just about me getting locked down. This about mama not having what?

17:30What? This mama not having what? Food

17:37So at halftime when coach go back over the stump when you come out what you got to do?

17:43You got to kill. I just told y'all this is how my man eats

17:47This is how my grandkids gonna eat. He's doing his own personal thing. This is how we eat. This ain't no motivational presentation

17:54This is how my mama eat right now. This is how my wife never have to go to work again

17:58This is how we live on the West Coast and on the East Coast and I ain't no baller and I ain't making millions of dollars

18:03But my gift is making room for me every time I get on three o'clock in the morning. I'm killing them

18:10Tony Robinson can't keep up. He's a phenomenal speaker, but he ain't from the shot. He can't keep up my motor

18:18I'm killing them
