LeBron James, Draymond
Green, 2 Chainz and special guests come together at a local New Orleans
barbershop to talk the NBA, Olympics, music, football and more. They hit on many topics, including what its
like to play in a classic game 7, playing for Coach K in the Olympics, ‘the
process,’ LeBron’s decision to come back to Cleveland, and guys in the NBA who
don’t know their roles and DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY!
2:20 – You’re tired, but
that’s the last thing you are telling yourself.
4:40 – Coach K makes your
really understand and appreciate what representing your country is about. He doesn’t even talk about basketball that
much. He just talks about the commitment;
being there for your brother, and fighting for your brother. Having a common purpose that’s bigger than
basketball.
6:19 – Some people love
the process, and everybody else just wants the outcome. If you just listen to people talk, its very
clear to tell who loves it and who doesn’t.
7:25 – Having belief in
yourself and what you do. You can lose
belief in yourself, no matter what is going on in your life or in the
game. We are all here for a reason, and
if there’s a possibility, there’s a way.
9:00 – Its hard to judge a
player sometimes, because they might be in a position in which doesn’t allow
them to flourish in a way that they could if in the right situation.
9:25 – Nothing on resumes
talks about a person’s work ethic.
Everybody gets credit for stuff that they didn’t do when you are part of
a team. We all do; its part of being a
part of a team. But what role did you
play in driving the outcome vs. being a teammate of the outcome. Great coaches, great CEOs, great managers
have to decide: Is it the guy or is the environment that the guy was in? Are you the driver or just along for the
ride.
11:07 – A lot of guys are
running around and have no ideas what their roles are. They don’t even know where to shoot. They don’t know their roles.
11:30 – A lot of coaches
don’t want to coach.
11:45 - Charles Oakley - in
training camp, you have to set their roles and you have to set the locker room,
right away.
12:10 LBJ – Players have
to be held accountable.
12:52 – Dray – There are a
lot of players in the NBA, that don’t know how to play the game of
basketball. They then add, that not only
do players not know their roles, and there are guys who don’t even really know
how to play!
13:40 – Being a smart
player is just doing what you can do, and not doing what you can’t do. Educate players early on what they need to
do. Know what you don’t know, and do
what you know! This is what we do, we
are going to do it at a high level, and I’m going to do it better than you, at
what I do!
15:38 – Basketball players
that don’t watch basketball games. NBA
players don’t know what a flex cut is!
And, it all comes around to coaching.
17:00 – Talking about
rappers who don’t know how to rap or who don’t know the rap business.
21:45 – What it feels like
when somebody disses you as a rapper.
Certain things trigger you which is why its sometimes important to remove
yourself from certain platforms, like social media.
22:20 – Progress over
Pride. Lets not worry about the small
stuff. Lets worry about trying to build
something that is greater than our name.
-->
24:12 – The only thing
that marks greatness is consistency over a long period of time.
