Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time.

My name is Bo Manny Jones. Thanks for listening. Wherever you get your podcast, rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are a hater. Now it is that time of week where we have a guest. Join us. But what we're going to do is we're going to do is we're going to do that.

I'm going to play an older interview for you. The summer you might not have heard. It's actually from I think our second week on the show where we did an interview with Rashid Wallace.

One of the very first that we did once became a podcast. Check it out.

She at first I was thinking I was going to ask you what is like to be a member of the media. Does that even count as being a member of the media because I feel like it's just you and KG just hanging out.

No, I don't count as being a member of the media at all. Not in my book. And that's what it's like. It's more like a hangout. You know, talking basketball, talking sports and talking life. I like doing it with my man. You know me and ticket. We get along good.

We compliment each other well when it comes to that show. I was curious about the way that you two would get along because you guys came into the league the same year and I see some similarities in your but you'll see to have different personalities because KG's brand of intense seems to be a little different than your brand of intense.

Yeah, we were both intense players at the end of the day. You know, I would say the only difference from when we were playing the only difference between KG and myself was I don't and I don't have no problem admitting he's a better rebounder.

And I'm a better shooter. But I think every other facet of our game is the thing.

Well, you guys also a kind of like the beginning of this new arrow power forwards, right? No, not really, man. You know, everybody keep telling me that, but, but see what may I know my history. I know my basketball student of my craft.

And they like, Oh, she started with the big land shooting a three and it's not and actually I did it because I got it from my veteran, Chris Robinson and Derek Coleman. You know, and they told me the reason why it's okay for being who can shoot to step out and shoot the three because when you down there playing on a chop block night in a night out.

You want you want to get a little eight years and and tired and all that from bumping and grinding each night down there. So every now and then you can bump every possession.

Every then step up, make it a little easy on yourself and then go harder or a defense. So that's all I did. I just took clip Robinson and Derek Coleman motto and, you know, just add it to my game, but I was getting older.

Well, did you have difficulty convincing coaches that it was better for you to be on the perimeter because I feel like a lot of your career was spent with people wishing that you spent more time playing in the post.

Well, shoot, if you look at it, actually, my whole career was built on the post. I didn't start shooting threes until about my fifth or six year in the lead.

And that's because I was forced one year to play the three by dumb, leave me. And because he wanted to start subordinate and start Brian Grant at the four and five.

So of course, he didn't want to bring me off the bench. So he asked me what I played the three. I said, I don't have no problem with playing the three. And then he said, well, with you playing three, we're going to need you to take a little bit more.

One shot than what you usually do. And I said, OK. And that's that's the main reason why I really started shooting a lot of three.

Do you think you would have enjoyed playing in this era more than the time when you did play? I could play in this era forever. I ain't no bumping and grinding. You know, they barely touch each other. That's why you got.

I look last night, Bermani. I looked at my little ESPN at man and it was seven or eight things that had over a hundred points. I said, good Lord, where's the decent?

But of course, I think I could survive in this era.

Yeah, because I think it's interesting to me to talk to like older cats about this area and guys who played it before because on one hand, this game is easier for a lot of guys to play, right?
