First question, guys, everybody.

When you first got to the league, who was the first person to bust your ass?

Oh, wow.

Well, I got in the league in 1993.

I was drafted by the Maverick's fourth overall, and we were horrible.

So, one like, I think 13 games my first year.

And my first, I can remember my first exhibition game was against the Clippers

when they had Mark of Guire and Dominique Wilkins at the full response.

That was the first time that I realized that I could play in the league,

but I think the first person that got me was Charles Barkley.

He got me.

I didn't expect much, you know what I mean?

But a lot of people don't realize that if you took Michael Jordan out of the league,

Charles Barkley might have been the best player in the league at that particular time.

And so, a lot of people forget about Charles and CM1 TV and everything like that,

but, you know, he was a beast.

I mean, he can run for days, not run for days, but he was very athletic, agile,

and able to ball 6465, powerful.

And he used to joke with me all the time.

And when he would guard me and stuff like that, he would tell me to stop dribbling the ball

because he didn't like forward handling the ball like that.

So, I would say Charles Barkley was the guy that gave me a business and made me reevaluate my position in the league.
