This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human. One of my favorite Kobe memories that I feel like is not talked about enough, Jordan's last All-Star game. He hit what was going to be the game winner. And it's like that whole game, as you remember, it was like Mariah Carey performing at a half-time. Yeah, it was Jordan dressed. Yeah. All the players wore Jordans, you know. Yeah. Even Kobe, he wore, I think the true blue threes or whatever. Yeah. He took the ball right after that game winner and went straight to the basket. He got fouled. He could have missed a free throw. He could have, whatever. They went up to him and told him to miss. I don't remember that story. I didn't hear that. Whoever whispered in his ear, the coach told him to miss that for what was bigger than the game in Michael Jordan.

He looked at him like, you got me messed up.

You tripping.

Nah, you got the wrong one, bro.

I'm about to knock these down.

You're tripping. Welcome to another episode of playing game.

I'm your host, CJ Toledano, of course, joined by my co-host, Isaiah Thomas.

IT, how you feeling today, man?

I'm good, man.

It's a good little, it's a nice day where I'm at, so I got some good energy.

You're spending a couple of days in L.A. You're doing some TV, NBA TV stuff for the

association that show. How has it been feeling? You've been taking some trips to L.A.

You're up in Grey Seattle. I know you like it up there, but L.A. is different, right?

Man, I love Seattle. I love Tacoma where I'm from. But them gloomy days, them rainy days is getting to me, man. So anytime I'm able to, you know, come down here, be on NBA TV, come down to L.A., get some sun for a couple days. It gives you some good energy. Oh, and I got to work out this morning. Me and Chris

Paul got a good workout here. So shout out to Chris Paul for inviting me to come work out.

It's always good to be in the gym with a great. Any nuggets there? Any like, you know, I feel like

you guys are in similar positions, two legends could be signed by a team, could help out immediately. Are you guys talking about that? You're just getting the work in? Getting the working, but we spoke about it. He just, I remember him saying, like, this is the first time he's been in this position. So for me to be in it, you know, for a couple years, he's like, man, you just inspired me to keep going, because every day is hard to get up and continue to work when you don't know, you know, what's next. So, you know, all prayers and thoughts, obviously, to him and wanting him to, you know, get back on with a team as he should so he can end it the right way. But it was, it's always good to be in the gym with, you know,

one of the greatest players they ever played a game, one of the best point guards to play the game. That's dope. Well, I'm glad to hear you guys with teaming up this morning and getting the workout. And obviously, we were going to talk about some All-Star and that's happening in L.A. this year at Into a Dome, which is going to be, you know, the Clippers Arena. So I'm sure

that's going to be at the top of peopleome, which is going to be, you know, the Clippers

arena. So I'm sure that's going to be at the top of people's mind. Like we got to do Chris Paul
