In short
Joakim Noah discusses New York City’s influence on street basketball and hip-hop, his experiences in college and the NBA, and how modern basketball (stretch bigs, skill emphasis) compares to older power-forward/inside play. He also touches on the Chicago Bulls era (Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer), coaching philosophies, and personal anecdotes from the Rucker and other tournaments. The episode includes a brief Knicks-focused segment about LeBron’s future and Noah’s interest in becoming the Knicks’ announcer.
Guests (and backgrounds)
The main guest is Joakim Noah, former NBA center and defensive anchor known for toughness and defense; he also played college basketball at Florida and was part of the Gators’ championship run under coach Billy Donovan. The host is Joe and Jada (Jeff T from Club 520 is mentioned in sponsor reads, but the conversation is between Joe/Jada and Noah). Noah references other sports figures as part of stories (e.g., Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Al Horford, Ron Artest, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Clyde Frazier).
Key claims
Noah says New York streetball and hip-hop are tightly connected and shaped his life after moving from France in 1998. He claims his teams’ chemistry mattered more than stats. He argues the “old-school” big-man role (bumping, posting) is being devalued by today’s stretch style. He praises Brad Miller’s specific coaching advice and credits Sam Cassell as a “technician” who teaches effectively.
Notable examples
Noah describes Rucker officiating “robbery” in a chip run; recounts Florida’s back-to-back NCAA titles; tells stories of playing with/against NBA stars in Harlem tournaments (including Stephon Marbury, Ron Artest, and others); and recalls Bulls roster details and Derrick Rose’s early prime.

3:27Yo, what up, y 'all? This is Joe Crack, the diggity Don Diggler. Don't play yourself, nigga. Shit, boy, Jada. This is the Joe and Jada Show. Every show legendary, every show iconic. I mean, this particular episode is gonna be one of my favorites because I love sports. You know what I mean? And when you think about our next guest, think about being a part of arguably one of the best college basketball teams in history. When you think about my next guest, you think of the old NBA. You think of tough defense. You think of a center that can stick all other four positions on the floor. You think of, you know, just toughness, New York grit.
4:16Think of a good person coming from a good family, a good father, good human being. Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for our brother, Joe King Noah. It's an honor. It's an honor. My brother, no doubt. You know what it is. It's an honor, man. Honor to be here. We appreciate having you. I know my man, the Phil Jackson of the Ruckers over here. He couldn't wait to have you up here. You know what I mean? You can't tell him nothing. and he's the Greg Popovich of the street ball. That's right. You know? Let me explain something to you, man. They asked me. Now he got his shit mixed. Your shit is mixed with Marlon Brando now.
4:56Yo, what you want to? Let me explain something. No, I don't mean no shit. Marlon Brando. I don't mean no shit like that. What I'm just trying to say is just now people are starting to say, yo, y 'all got too many guests on the show. What happened to just Joe and Jada? But what you doing? legendary guys like this pull up and they available. We gonna put them on the Joe and Chase. First things first. Anybody that somebody that come to the city, you know where they coming. Here. That's it. Yeah, Chase, I like that shit. Anybody that come to the city. I took the plane. I took the plane to come and be on the show.
5:33They ain't flying into y 'all shows. See this shit? I took the plane. He flew in. They talking Cam and J. Cole. I know you a fan of hip-hop. This might be the first show I walk off. Yo, why you want to walk off, kids? I don't want to get into this shit, man. Go ahead. You can, though. I'm not getting into shit. I'm asking you, this is a hip-hop show, what you think about this, what they saying online, who's better, Cam, J. Cole, whatever the case may be. so for me I moved to New York City from France in 98 to me New York City hip hop around that time this shit shaped my life you know what I mean like I come to New York City I'm talking English like this with the accent and stuff all French but then Tony Parker you know what I'm saying on some Tony Parker shit and then I get to New York City and the fucking hip hop is just going nuts.
6:36Like, I'm coming from France, and then all of a sudden, I kiss you, bitch-ass nigga. I bet the hood won't miss you, bitch-ass nigga. You know what I mean? I'm like, oh, shit. What the fuck is this? So I had to learn along the way, you know what I'm saying? But that was, you know, I love basketball. Next thing you know, I'm going uptown. I'm playing basketball with the guys. And New York, like, it shaped me. it shaped me if I didn't have New York City if I didn't have the hip hop because the street ball and the hip hop are so connected and you don't see that anywhere else like that like Joe like I remember you pulling up at the Rucker you know what I mean you got all your guys with you we playing you in the chip we lost to the chip I missed a couple free throws at the end but I had a question for you about that because this shit fucked me up because they called some real bullshit on me.
7:33So did you pay the reps? Definitely buttered y 'all some, buddy. I need to know because this was what, like 20 years ago. Everything I earned was legit. Okay. You know what they did to me? Stealing it. I won. I just, everything I earned was legit. You know, with me, we won five chips in a boat. On the sixth one, we got robbed. And so we was up like eight points with like 12 seconds and they kept calling five, five, and the other team just, the crowd been waiting to see me lose. You know how people hated Kobe and all this, but when he passed away, you realize, yo, we lost a treasure. It was like we were winning so much, so we had fans who just wanted us to lose, and when we lost and we walking out the park, they barely even celebrated.
8:21It was like, not like this. So I know what you felt like, but we didn't. I left because I was getting disrespected at the World Cup. I would have stood for 20 years. But they start doing shit, yo, only two people could come in, oh, this, this. I'm like, yo, I don't know if they know. We getting this park lit. Know what I'm saying? But they robbed me the one year I lost, and we came back the next year. We blew them out, paused in the arm championship. You know, and I got on the mic. I got real nasty with them because, you know, that coaching really was my life. You know, I tell everybody when I die, that casket got to go through the rucka.
8:57You know what I'm saying? You know how it goes through your neighborhood? Because I had some of the greatest years of my life. But you didn't answer the question, J. Cole and Cameron. You just saying New York shaped your life. I mean, killer, man. This shit is... Yo, this is crazy. I mean, it's like big pun. I remember I come to New York. I'm listening to... And I know you from where? Elementary school. I'm like, oh, shit, yo. This is... Different. Different. It's a different area. You know, our kids, the youth, they're being very disrespectful. And they're like, fuck you, you old motherfuckers.
9:34And I had some of my nephews style on me with clothes I wore in videos in Flojo. They was like, yo, this is the new shit. We got the fly. I see your bro. We wore that shit in 94, 95. The other day, I'm looking at Joey Badass, who is a friend, who I got super love for. But he's sitting at the Nick Game courtside. he got the Tretch hat on. So they bringing back all the old, but the youth might look at that and be like, yo, this nigga Joey Badass wearing the shit of a lifetime. That shit is crazy. But yo, guys, like this is all recycled shit. And so Jada, my business partner, is telling me to mind my business with that right there.

How we treat you? What's the service in UpNYC? How do we get it? I won't say my percentage off but I get treated well.
13:04They treat me at home. I go in the back, use the bathroom. He just Wilson fucked you with the 10 and a half and the 8 and a half. Yo, that's the oldest. I think they line me up to Serge, tell him about his big party and flopping. I'm over here talking to Serge. Wilson did the old... Kiss, I gotta be honest with you, Kiss. I'm not gonna lie to you. I think you've been lined up. I'm gonna be honest. They lined you up. Nigga had to sell a pair of boots. He gave it to Kiss. Let me tell you something. We used to get it like that in Jewman. There was a store not being offensive to nobody. It was a store called Jewman in the Bronx that had all the fly as shit.
13:41them niggas was the king of giving you a size eight and a half and a 12 like and once you leave they be like we sold out so you got to pick something else robbing you a few stops down on the train after you buy all your snorkels all of that shit you know i grew up in it i would have never owned the store if it wasn't for uh rose teddy uh sheldon all those guys they taught us the retail business simon passed away melvin passed away i'll tell you one thing i was the only guy they would say joe when i open the door you run that way as fast as possible you see the four guys across the street they're gonna rob you so i used to get my sneakers and have to run like bucket run up to the train because i knew graffiti i knew how to like jump off the train so if you follow me in the train and you know we stuck in the train i know how in between the train to jump off and then run back down and get the fuck up out of there.
14:42So that was my shit, the train. But, yo, Jewman was legendary. But they got that from there. I'm sorry about that, brother. We will replace these boots right here as soon as you blink, brother. Don't worry about it. I got you. And we got my brother here. You got to tell me about them back. It's hard to win one chip in anything. But they get two NCAA chips back. their back. Tell us a little bit about that. Shout out to that whole team. Shout out to Coach Billy Donovan. Shout out to everybody that was involved in that. Let me hear a little something. Hall of Fame coach. Coach Donovan just got in the Hall of Fame.
15:20Yep, I was actually, I was there with AI, so I was able to be in the building and speech. It was dope. Yeah, man. Super dope. Shout out my man, Bruce Gial, Horford, Victorian Green, Bristopher. We had a squad, man. And after we win the chip, you know, they was like, it's time to go to the league. But we was having so much fun, you know, that we came back again. That's crazy. There's not a lot of guys would say no to the bread. No, no, no. Electively, though, we all come back. Yeah, that was fine. No. So, you know, no bread on the table, just going out there and just handling the business. These are my best friends, you know what I mean?
16:02So, I remember even going to the league, it wasn't like guys weren't even happy to go to the league. We was having so much fun. He was missing that camaraderie of that. Like that's the shit about basketball. It's like the chemistry. Everybody want to talk about stats and the top guy in this, but when you have good chemistry on that court, you can't take that shit for granted. You might never have that shit again. Oof. You know what I'm saying? And that goes for everything. That's not just basketball. That's just life. You know what I'm saying? You got to treat your people right and take care and protect that because that shit is fragile, you know what I'm saying?

I used to bring that shit up myself. He'd be like, what the fuck you doing?
22:03What the fuck you doing, man? Just give the ball to the point guard. I used to, you know, I used to like bringing that shit up myself. That shit used to stress him out. That was ahead of the time. He was ahead of your time. But let me ask you something now that you saying that. This motherfucking Wimba Yamba. Holy shit! what the fuck is wrong with Wimba Yamba I seen him cross a dude four times crossing him to death nigga seven what whack whack whack whack whack coming up like is this normal shit no I've never seen no shit like this he was working with he did some hell of a little off season work yo kids you want to go see the monks we gotta keep it a buck kids I'm telling you He's doing some shit nobody never did.

The defensive dude picks him up all the way. He crossed him four times. Went through the shit and dunked backwards. Like, this shit is like, it's everything we know about basketball or we think we know, right? Because you're a huge basketball fan. I am. He played the game. I have never seen this sort of thing. Like, this is crazy for 7-7. A little bit of gripe with the new way of basketball. Like the stretch. I do too.
23:36I like the old uses of the big man. Bumping bodies, pores. Go down on the block. That's me. I mean, he's a fool. I can't do it. The way I coach, okay? The way I coach is I will embarrass you. Because all I want to do is win. So if you're a dude that you want to do, I will call timeout. And I will, in front of the whole crowd, stand on the spot and say, here. This is where I want you. Here. And pass him the ball right here. He's a big man. I want him to score. He don't do it. I'll call a timeout again. I'll walk right in the spot in front of the whole fucking park. I want it. Here! Here! Like, I'm not playing.
24:20I'm not like Coach Mike Brown. I sat next to him. God bless him. He's a great coach, but I'm not cool with, hey, buddy, thanks for the... Like, he's too cool. Hey, Mike, do you... That's not what I do. I'm Bobby Knight of the coaching shit. You gonna... You a big guy. You are not finessing your way out of here. You're gonna have to bump and grind, pause, and fucking go to the... I can't do that. I cannot... Everybody got to play their position and do what they got to do. And I don't care about, you know, because the one thing I noticed about coaching is you could be the most athletic person in the world, but you could be dumb as fuck.
25:00Like dumb. You need a IQ. Bro, who was the big guy on your team, Joe? Rest in peace. Panda. Rest in peace. Should have been in a fucking... That's finished breakfast. He used to dominate down. He broke my heart. He came and he played for Jay-Z. Shout out to The Rock. He broke Strick. They swiped, dude. Yes. They tried to get Kareem Reid, too. They gave Kareem a duffel bag.

28:52You like a street Tibbs. I love Tibbs. I love Tibbs. But the truth is the truth. I had guys that were all-stars, that were the most dominant in the NBA, that you just seen them. They might have been shitting on themselves when we get out there because they're not used to the nutcracker, the blunt. The nigga come dance in front of you for no reason. Guy come out the stand, start dancing. Oh, shit. What? And you, you know, and you seeing all the shit and you see everybody, Then you look on the side, Fat Joe's crazy, running the crowd, topless, 500 pounds. You're like, yo, what the kind of shit show going on in here?
29:35And then you come and then you're like, and I'm trying to, I'm, this is one guy, I don't want to say his name, but he was an all-star. He might've been a 10-time boy. He came out there, man, he might've scored two points. And he was shook. And he was like, yo, but the people are on the court. But this nigga, this is Harlem. It's real. couple of them really really excelled couple of them was like really really they loved it you know Baron Davis loved it one time I brought out there Coutinho Mobley and Stevie Francis and them niggas was going bananas remember when they was the duo Al Harrington always played amazing out there it was a lot of players Stephon Marbury I had him every game you know Stephon Marbury at that time was getting 22 million a year in the NBA.
30:24He was the highest paid. He played out there for free. Was coming out there. Then he had his brother, Zach. You not the whack, Zach. Because Zach never made it to the league. He was actually a good player. But, you know, he's the Marbury. So they expect, Zach, you not the whack. They be on the mic. Yo, Zach, you not the whack. And Zach go up in there. He scores little 10 points and go hard. But, you know, Stephon Mulberry is the most, he was the most dedicated street basketball NBA player I've ever seen. And another person who never lost a single game is Ron Artest at the Rucker. He never lost a game he played in.
31:10Ron Artest, I had him one year on my team. We playing the chip. He splits his whole hand. Splits. You've seen that before, right? What, split? Like split. Like he had like a, his shit was split. Like split.
31:28It's the championship. His shit is split wide open. Like he needed surgery or something. Definitely stitches, right? So now I'm shook. Because I'm thinking the omen is old. Like this guy never loses. Like I knew I was winning. Look, Ronald Tuss never lost a game. So the one game we in the chip, he splits his hand. I mean splits. So I'm like, oh, we lost. Because the man not going to be able to finish this game. It's like fourth quarter. The man gets some tape. He taped his whole hand together. Tape. Goes back out there, starts killing him. Yo, Ron Artest was different. And, you know, I would go pick him up in fucking Queensbridge projects.

He be sitting in front of the bench with chancletas on in the middle of the projects where everybody knowing he got$49 million driving a dusty pickup truck. Ron Artes. he was different.

38:17What player or what game did you watch Christmas or something like that? And you went outside and was like, yo, you was emulating the moves. Like, yo, I got to be like this guy. This guy is incredible. I would say for me, like I grew up a Knicks fan. And my pops used to take me to the games. So I was in the garden when LJ hit the shot. I was there too, by the way. Yeah, you definitely been to more Knicks games. No, no, no, no, no. But I was there that game. I was with Allen Overson. He was here, and we said it on the episode. He was with me. I've been looking forever for the pictures of that game, but it's the other side.
38:56And we was in them seats. We was like a little fourth row, fifth floor. We wasn't in the court side. But that, you saw that whole crowd. Me too. I saw the whole shit go crazy. But, you know, it's like when you're a kid, you're just watching all the games. and you watching all like the, it was still VCR and shit. So I had all the Magic Johnson tapes. Black and white. I'm watching. I wasn't black and white. No, I wasn't. I'm an old nigga. I used to watch Honeymooners black and white. Honeymooners only came on in black and white. Now they got the colored version now. They even got Wizard of Oz in color now.
39:36They redid it. The point is, it was black and white. I used to watch the Knicks when the shit was black and white. I used to watch TV when the TV turned off. You too young for that, right? 12 midnight, they throw the American flag. An Indian dude come out, and he look at the fucking pollution. He was going green a long time ago. He be looking, and he start crying, the Indian dude. With the Indian outfit, every night. He look, and he see the trash, and he start tearing, and that's it. You wake up in the morning, TV again. That shit is off all night. All night. I'm old. I'm talking about when I'm a kid.
40:21When I'm a kid, the Honeymooners was probably like the last show on with Art Carney. That shit be going off. Audrey Metal. Then they got the Audrey Metal. Then they got a flag. And then they got an Indian dude. They're trying to tell you, yo, don't throw shit in the street. Don't pollute. You're fucking up the earth. and he come over there and he start crying and shit. And that's how TV turned off every night. Damn. What do you mean? It turned off. When you was watching what you was watching. We talking about basketball right now? We talking about the... TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Basketball. You saying DVD.
40:56Oh, nah. It's just... It was more like... It was more... You know, you walking in the street and you just... You doing moves. You don't even have a ball or nothing. It don't matter. You working on... So you was in the street. with the wow just think okay what am I gonna do so you walking up the block working on your shit you already there in your mind you know what I'm saying so for me that was my mentality as a kid was just like I wouldn't tell nobody like yo I'm going to the league that was not how I moved but the reality is I'm a third I'm a third generation athlete talk about it like my father my grandfather was a soccer player from Cameroon my pops is a hall of fame tennis player only African player to ever win a grand slam last Frenchman to win a grand slam so I grew up seeing all that shit just knowing what it takes knowing the greatness just knowing what it takes to be a pro you know what I'm saying it wasn't like yo my pops would wake me up in the morning yo let's go for a run you know what I'm saying like that was my game I wasn't I wasn't more talented than half the guys out there.
42:08But I had the education of, all right, wake up in the morning, the discipline of what it takes. Like, when I see you fucking tired and I got two more gears because I'm running three miles before school because I know nobody else doing that shit. And y 'all fucking up the drills. Y 'all coach say something because you got 20 points so you think that you can just, I don't give a fuck what the coach got to say. Like New York City, more than just like looking at guys and being like, yo, I'm looking at guys like, this is what I'm not supposed to do. And this is what I'm not supposed to do. A lot of guys should have been there, man.
42:49There was a lot of guys who were better than me. What a blessing. Same thing happened to me. I don't believe it happened to Kiss because Kiss always been the best. But when I got on, I'm networking in Manhattan. I'm performing at SOBs. I'm going to a lyricist lounge, this and this and that, trying to get on. And the guys was a hundred times better than me in the hood. And then they got mad at me because I got on, but they wasn't willing to network, go talk to people, meet people, get a deal. Like, you know, I snuck up in the record label. That shit was 31 flights. I snuck in the record label, walked up 31 flights, and I was fat, fat, fat, Joe.
43:32Three fat jokes. Three Fat Joes, and I give the guy my demo, and he tell me I'm not good enough. And shit like that I was doing. I was going down to D.C. to how can I be down and everywhere trying to get on. I end up doing Apollo Theater. I won four weeks in a row. That's how I got my chance. But other guys was 100 times better than me, and they didn't understand. They were like, we better than Joey. But, yeah, y 'all don't want to put in that work. You know, it's especially in the athletes, a whole different. You know, I stood in Tony Parker's house for a couple of days, and that guy was eating like a bean.
44:09They was giving him a bean and asparagus, one piece of turkey, and it was like, yeah, go work out for two hours. He come back. They give him some other bullshit, tofu this. He go work out again. He come back. I'm like, yo, this shit is, yo, that guy there? Tony Parker? Tony Parker. I lived in his house for like a week. A week. We was performing at somebody's birthday party. He was like, yo, don't stay in a hotel, stay in my house. His shit was a complex. It was in San Antonio? San Antonio. He had a complex, maybe 100 acres of some shit. He had the professional gym, everything. But I'm looking at this dude eat, and he getting up.
44:47He got a fucking chef. I'm eating all the eggs and pancakes the motherfucker can eat. He eating a bean, this, this, that. I was like, yo, this is the shit. Tony Parker pops. Tony Parker pops just passed, too. so rest in peace rest in peace Pops oh he was there Pops was there he was on top of Tony like that that's exactly who had him on that regimen that's right because Pops was a dog too Hooper nice Chicago Finers rest what I'm trying to say Loyola like with top score I went to the funeral last week yeah Tim Duncan there David Robinson like yo everybody all the French players came I'm like, yo, damn.
45:32They love him. Boy, they showed out. They showed out for him. Everybody flew to Chicago. Goosebumps, brother. You know what I'm saying? For pops. Yeah. So, no, respect. No, that's, that's, that's, well, speaking of Tim Duncan, that's my favorite power forward of all time. Doesn't get better. Fundamental. Shit. He give it to you. He don't even, I remember that one game. It was one game. He was one of his last games and he was old already and he was still busting their ass. He gave them every... I don't remember him never busting ass. No, what I'm saying is, his last season, his team was whack. Oh, I...
46:11Who? His last season, Tim Duncan's team kind of fell off. Golden State was the best shit we ever see. They fell off now, right? It happens to everybody. What I'm saying is, they didn't have that kind of firepower no more, but that boy, Timmy, man, He ain't let me down. He still gave them niggas like 41. He went to the last oxygen. He was trying to die. Greg Popovich used to sit them out and put reason with O-H. He used to make Tony Parker and Tim Duncan and them not places. He used to put O-H. Yeah, Pop. He was cool like that. Man, they were so good. The Spurs were so good. Talk about chemistry.
46:55One day, Tony's like, yo, let's have lunch. I'm not feeling like lunch playing, you know, buddy-buddy before the game. Like, we Chicago Bulls, y 'all San Antonio. He's like, no, come on, man. I need to talk to you. Pop said that? No, no, Tony Parker. I pull up. These guys are all drinking wine before the game at lunch. I'm like, yo. So good. They came out there, still bust their ass by 20. Genovally. Genovally. So who's on your Chicago team? At that time? We had young Jimmy Butler. We had Derrick Rose. We had Luol Deng. We had Carlos Boozer. Whole lot of game in this motherfucker. Come on, man.
47:41Butter, what up? Butter, we talk about you a lot on this show, man. You wore your Harlem pink pants. You got your Harlem pink pants. Whole lot of game in the building. Whole lot of game, Adrian. Yo, so you have a young Jimmy Butler. Young Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose. We had, you know, it's too bad, man, because we were right there. We were right there. I love, I love everything about it. What else you got? You got Luau Deng at that time? We had Luau Deng. We had Kirk Heinrich picking up full court. That's the toughest, toughest white boy. We had him. We had Big Duck, Brad Miller. Brad Miller changed my fucking whole shit.
48:31One day after practice, he goes, you know, he had a big, he used to put dip in his mouth. You know, big country guy. Redneck trucker. Redneck trucker, exactly. But one of my best friends. Might have had the confederate under the seat. The confederate flag. He might, but you know, but the best. The best of the confederates. I'm a young boy. The best of the confederates. Best of the confederates. That ain't got anything in his mouth. Come on. Be careful. So he got the dip, right? And he's like, yo, young fella, don't ever shoot a jump shot again. Here's what I need you to do. Catch the ball at the elbow.
49:11Dribble handoff. If he's overplaying it, throw the backdoor pass. Yo. Two things. He just told me two simple things that changed my whole shit. like yo I had I had seasons where I'm averaging five dimes a game now I'm a shooter just from that little just let the big fella get the ball at the elbow one of this guy's favorite boss for me was like Sam I could sell right and every time I see Sam Cassell I tell him we gotta bring him on the podcast wasn't nobody like Sam Cassell Sam Cassell's a coach whoever he's teaching is fucking learning. He was one of the last technicians. He's like a fucking brainiac that could play.
50:00Experience is a motherfucker. And when somebody just gives you advice and you can apply it and turn around and make you so much better, it's amazing to me. And that's dope for Brad because you guys had a hell of a team. You know what I'm saying? Y 'all were just young. It was kind of like Like the OKC team, when they had KD, they had, you know, they split them up. James Harden. Like what kind of team could that have been if they played together? Or Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter, they split that shit up. You guys had a hell of a team and a hell of a coach. Yeah. Because you know I'm a Tibbs guy.
50:43Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I fuck with Coach Tibbs, man. Shout out Tibbs, man. It's all right. No, he got$30 million on the walkout. he's alright I saw that clip I seen him I saw that clip y 'all were wilding on the 30 million bro well you know by the way exactly exactly you want to coach I mean that's a hell of a walk on it's a highway robbery huh highway robbery no no he deserved everything we ain't been there 25 years they should have gave him more exactly I'm not in favor of we should make history and bring him back right now like tomorrow make a big thing bring him back nah shout out I agree Tibbs was the best, man.
51:23It's sad because Coach Brown, the problem I got with Coach Brown is his sneakers. Yo, yo, yo! When he got on, when he rocking on. No, your coach is pie, the team is pie. Tibbs was rocking Versace, Givenchy, all of that. If your coach is pie, your team is pie. And Coach Brown, he's my neighbor. He lives around in the neighborhood. Everybody says he's a beautiful guy. But his fucking sneakers, I'm not intimidated. intimidated. So if I'm looking at the coach, yeah, you coach, you're the fucking leader. He might got some bullshits on to intimidate you. He got some bullshits on. He got like fake converts.
52:05Nah, that's not helping the feet either. It's not comfortable. It ain't. Anyway, Coach Brown, I wish you luck. The system looks like it's going to work by midseason. They're going to be the fluidity is going to be right. Another thing, I want the job. I ain't got the pause. Job of what? I ain't got the heart to tell you in person because I see James Dolan at all the games, but if someone could tap him, if Clive Frazier retires, I want the job. I'm giving up everything. Me and you, the glory days, it's over, rapping, everything. To be the announcer of the New York Knicks. You gotta wear the suits.

I seen Clyde do something the other day I never seen him do in his life. He straight up said, I'm the best Nick, the greatest Nick of all time. Clyde don't brag like that. I seen him on the interview. No, no, no. No, no. He said that with those lyrics. I'm the greatest Nick of all time. Clyde Frazier. I never heard him say that in all of them years. He said that recently. And there's rumors he might be retiring. And that man was like, yeah, Clyde Frazier, the greatest Nick of all time.
54:25He won the chip. He won the chip, right? Yeah. No, he won the chip. He used to clean his Rolls Royce with a chinchilla and all. As he deserves it. As he deserves it. I'm with that. You understand what I'm saying? I'm with you. You live a life, man. You work hard. you deserve to do whatever the fuck you want to do if it's legal you want to wipe your car with a chinchilla wipe your car do whatever ain't nobody give you shit you work for it so whatever makes you happen what's your man Jared Jeffries remember on the Knicks was he Jared Jeffries the lights can do he told me his first check he cashed out all cash and threw it in the bathtub and slept in the money Jared Jeffries motherfucking crazy yo that nigga told me that shit I was like what?
55:13He was like, yes, I pulled out a half a million dollars cash, threw it in the bathtub and bathed in it all night, like in the money. Jared Jeffery. What's the wildest shit you heard like a basketball player say about? I never heard no shit like that. That's crazy. No, I heard it. We were playing Boston and we went to dinner with Boston and the Knicks. I was up there in Boston and they was all saying crazy shit like they were saying crazy shit. The ball players, They were young. They were saying, you know, he said he bathed. And I can't tell you the other shit. I'm really in trouble if I talk about these guys.
55:48No, I think the league now, it changed a lot, man. Like, you know, like when you walk around New York City, you're like, why does it feel, why does the city feel so polished? Like, the money's so big that I think that, and because of the social media and all that, I think everybody's just on their best behavior. Like, you don't even, they don't even go, they're playing video games. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's a different. Morant. Unless you're John Morant. That's right. You're trying to play in China. You're right. Come on, fuck. I'm on a play in China. He's not playing. I warned him three years ago.
56:21You remember that shit? Hey, buddy, you watch everything I say. Hey, bud, I warned him three years ago. I told him, bro, you're on a China. He has a coach from over the water that plays 30 minutes. He's not used to playing a little bit a minute. So he has the right... He's father stands there with the shades. I got nothing to do with no here. Potts is drunk. He ain't bothering nobody. He's sitting there getting shrinking. Stephon Mulberry went from 22 million a year, the biggest player in the game, to China. NBA changed 97 times since then. They'll fucking throw you in China or Yugoslavia. My nigga don't care how nice you is.
56:56You're not bigger than the program. Fall in line or you're gonna fall by the wayside. Tell me about it. That's right or wrong. I lived it. I lived it here. I got kicked off the Knicks in the middle of the winter I don't even have a job anymore how'd that happen? that was good that was a good question how'd that happen? Jayden rarely wants to know but that was a good one Corny Horny who was Corny Horny? Hornacek Jeff Hornacek? yeah what happened with him? he didn't fuck with me so Corny Horny he ran up on me like he wanted to fight me that's what happened but I mean look at the end of the day I'll take my part when I was on the Knicks I wasn't right like I just got surgery no no no this is like this is a fucking movie this is a movie I'm a free agent but I got hurt the year before I remember shoulder reconstruction so I do my surgery at HSS right the best place so I get the surgery popping like you know I'm taking the pills for the surgery like Percocets like I'm walking in the streets but I'm a free agent so I'm walking in these streets everybody yo Joaquin you coming home what's up I get the call from Phil Jackson a week before free agency I'm coming to New York shit is like dream come true shit but I'm already on my injuries piling up injuries piling up I hate that.
58:40It's the worst. You know what I'm saying? I'm fucking ready. This is like dream come true shit, and I'm not right mentally. I'm in New York. The streets is calling. Do you know what I mean? I got a coach who don't fuck with me. Make it rain is number one about that time. Make it rain. Make it rain was hot. That was make it rain was hot. Make it rain was hot. And, you know, it's also, you got to understand, when you're playing in the NBA, the amount of money you make... But it's on the ticker. Like I remember being in the club when I signed my deal with the Knicks. I'm seeing people like, yo, look what Joakim did.
59:25You know what I'm saying? That's why my girl made, shout out my girl Robin. She made baller alert for that. You know, baller alert on Instagram? She made it so that when a baller comes in a club, they be like, yo, ladies, Joaquin Noah is worth 100 million. No, no, that's the true inception of baller alert. So that you could, like, know what these guys are making. Like, that's a fact. They know what you're making. It's crazy. Hey, about that? I don't disclose nothing. You go right now. They say Fat Joe worth like a million dollars right now in the net worth. I'm not worth nothing. Exactly. Don't tell them nothing.
1:00:05I'm not worth a thing. They told me I was worth a million dollars. I had a million, eight hundred thousand dollar watch on when I saw that shit in the net worth. I was like, OK, perfect. I'm good. You know what? They tell y 'all shit. So you out there doing the most is what you're saying. I'm doing it like so I get kicked off the Knicks. I get into it with Corny Horny. And now this is the first time in my life where I got a lot of money. I'm young, but I don't have a job. So I'm like, yo, if I stay in New York City right now, it's a wrap. It's a wrap. I'm fucking myself up. So I had to, I rented a house in LA.
1:00:48Thank God I had great mentors, Larry Hamilton, a big wave surfer. so from end of January all until December so it was like almost a year I had to train I was training by myself I didn't even have a team to rock with but thank God you know Memphis picked me up and I got to finish my career you know playing off the bench for a year and it was a blessing but like yo I had nine surgeries bro nine you know what I'm saying but like yo come on man Like, I got to live out, like, coming from here and being able to make money, take care of my kids, take care of my family. You know what I'm saying? Like, I got to live it at the highest level.
1:01:36The New York shit is like, when I go in there, it's like, damn, it hurt. I wish that. I wish it would have been better. You know what I'm saying? You know, they do that a lot. They have a tendency of bringing people when they a little bit past their prime. Say Rasheed Wallace. Everybody, man. Well, the Knicks do that. Not now. Not now, but the Knicks. Well, you know, I believe that Leon Rose and Wes changed the whole DNA of the New York Knicks. Because me personally, I would have never got rid of Lynn Sanity. And Tibbs. Tibbs changed the whole shit we went to the thing for 25 years we not even talking about that I'm talking about the DNA yeah yeah I forgot what happened somebody who's playing on the Knicks now when the Knicks read up his contract I couldn't believe it as a Knicks fan we always lose the nigga once they get nice they go and they brought him back I said oh they finally changing the DNA like Lynn Sanity I wouldn't have got rid of Lynn Sanity He was must-see TV.
1:02:46The man was on fire. Why wouldn't you bring the brother back? I didn't even understand. A lot of moves they were making, they wouldn't pick Ronald Chess because he was from New York. They was bypassing New York players, like homegrown, born. The Knicks had 30 years of trading away niggas that turned out they'd be incredible everywhere they went. Rod Strickland, Mark Jackson, everybody. everybody. But one of the reasons they were doing that was they too close to home. So what they, I'm telling you just from a fan, I felt like they didn't want Ronald Tess in his prime. They didn't want these guys because they from the city.
1:03:28They had a mentality of they too close to home. It's a real thing. They're out of control. It's a real thing. That's a real thing. What he is from the outside in, it's on the individual. You know he's going outside you know J.R. Smith's going outside. Brunson and Hart is in the library somewhere chilling out, eating wings and candy like. It's on the thing. It's great that we got some players that want to stay at home and do. Thank God. Thank God. You know, because I used to hate going to the strip club and seeing the star of the shit in there throwing money. I'd be like, yo, this shit crazy. These motherfuckers.
1:04:06What? In that same token, Mason and them was outside and he still was winning. This nigga Zion got like 32 strippers pregnant. I'd be really fucking mad. Oh man come on. Yo I would be really pissed if I was the fan of this shit. And Zion my guy I want him to play the greatest I wanted him to be that's the last guy I begged to be a fucking 32's a lot. Sick. 32's a lot. Listen Listen, you know, that's the fat Joe. You know what I'm saying? But I don't mean it like that. I don't want to. That's your 30. Yo, Zion, I don't want to. I love you, Zion, man. I'm a fan of your game when you're healthy. Don't say you love him after saying he got 32 baby strips.
1:04:50I know. I would be really mad if I went to every strip club and Zion was in there. And he's unhealthy and this and this. I'd be really pissed. And I went through that with the Knicks a lot. What's my man? He got shot in the knee. Cle Anthony. Cle Anthony outside of Starlitz. They fixed him bad. That was disgusting though. Any street nigga who had something to do with that, you know that was disrespect. Bro, the man, the athlete, you shoot him in his kneecap, it couldn't have been that serious. They should have gave it up. Gave what up? Whatever they wanted. So they was robbing him in his knee?
1:05:25That's fucked up. They just didn't like his knee. That was personal. Nah, that was personal. They shot him in his knee. That ain't had nothing to do with no robbery. Just me. Fat Joe, criminal, theology 101. one that was bigger than a robbery. They shot him in the knee. He was fucking somebody girl. They shot him in it. I'm telling you what must have happened. I don't know the facts. They're not robbing a dude shooting him in his knee. He was fucking somebody bitch. And they said, you know what? This is the third warning. Chaguito gave it to him. Chaguito. I'm telling you. But anyway. You need to go back to the record, man.
1:06:02I can't do it. Adrian be trying to get me. A-Budder trying to get me out there all the time. I can't do it. I would take the whole summer off. I wouldn't make a dollar. I'm number one. Okay. You could keep all your flags. You want to keep your flags and you want to throw them. I'm number one in America. What's love is number one in America. White America is begging to give me money. And I'd be like, yo, the whole summer's off. I got a coach and me. I'm a different coach. J-Butter's right here, one of my greatest players of all time. After the game, what we do? We go eat steaks, rice and beans and lobsters.
1:06:43It was a family. Before the game, we stretch together. I get on the floor. It's like I'm all in.

1:10:42But my shit, you know what's crazy? I went to Harvard yesterday and I gave a lecture. Thank you at Harvard. But one of the best parts of the movie Malcolm X is when some girl, some white girl come up to him and says, I understand my ancestors wrong. I know we wrong. What can I do? He said, you can't do nothing for me, mama. I'm sorry. You know what I'm saying? One of the greatest point guards that ever lived, the greatest handles ever created was Bone Collector. And he came up to me one summer and we coming in the park and then we giving out the Terror Squad jersey. He says, Joe, my whole life, I want to win a chip.
1:11:24Yo, Joe, Joe, Joe. He said, how can I join? I said, you, my friend, cannot join the team. He was like looking at me. He had the greatest handle in the universe. And I was like, you don't want to win a championship. You want individual achievement. it and people didn't realize the rule was once we up by 20 then play the game alley you act stupid but i want fucking to win i'm going in there to win and you we play basic basketball till we blowing you out now we do the tricks know i'm saying they buddy they didn't understand that we walking up in there to win we have blue collars tell me some of the big guys we had dp the beast.
1:12:05Remember the beast? Oh my god. BJ the beast? Oh my god. BJ? He had abnormal strength. And he didn't want no limelight. He didn't want nothing. Who's the coach from Syracuse now? He played for us. Adrian Autry. Adrian Autry never bothered nobody. He played his team. He threw the backpack on and took the train and got out of there. He never hung out. There's guys like that. Oh, what was my man? It was the preacher. These are guys you'll never say their name. We couldn't win these chips without these guys. These guys got all the rebounds, made the right block at the right time. And, God, you know, we had guys that went in there to really win.
1:12:50Who was like, yo, we going to win a chip. It ain't just about the, you know what I'm saying? And so, you know, we're going to get to that. But it wasn't about that. And we, you know. Good times. Wow. Derek Rose, right? We had G. Herbo up here, young brother. You know, he's out there saying, you know, all these young dudes, my nephew is crazy out here. Man, these guys are crazy. My daughter's crazy. G. Herbo said that Derek Rose is better than Michael Jordan. He didn't really mean that. And so what he's just saying in his era when he grew up, he watched him in high school. How you gonna say he didn't mean that?
1:13:27How you know what he meant? He didn't mean that. And so what I'm saying to you is that in his era of high school, he saw Derrick Rose in the street games. He saw him in high school. He grew up. He's homegrown. Yeah. And then he excelled to be the youngest MVP. How unfortunate was his injuries and how great of a player he was already a great. I mean, even his last year, he scored like 51 somewhere. Right. When Derrick Rose in his prime, when he stepped onto the court, it was like the energy for the team. Like, you know what I feel like when somebody pull up to the court and you're like, oh, we winning?
1:14:12Every time he was on the court, you felt like you had a chance you could win. I mean, we're not talking about the athleticism and all those things. Athleticism was out of control. It was out of control. He was a killer. D-Rose must-see TV. Must-watch TV. Oh, shit. But when the injury happened, it was like somebody died, bro. That's what it felt like. It was like, yo, we were winning the championship that year. There was no question in my mind. It was like, we just lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference the year before. We're young boys, and now it's our fucking time. That's what it felt like.
1:14:51So when he got hurt, it was like we didn't have a shot anymore. Damn. Even talking about it now, it still hurts. It still hurts because it's like, it's the biggest what if like, you know, it's like when you really want, when you care about like, I hear you talking about the ruck guys. Like, I see how passionate you are about the winning. He was all of that. He embodied all of that. And the way he embodied Chicago during that time, it was like, it was crazy, man. It was like, you know, Chicago is a crazy place. You know, different. Like we talk about streetball shit. You can't even do the street ball shit over there in Chicago.
1:15:28They can't do it. It's too violent. Kids are dying every day. You know? So what Derek represented coming from that and representing that in the way that he represented that every day on the court. These young kids were just like... He was a guy. Yeah. Yeah, it was all of that. And he was like humble. You know, it was like all that. The way he carried himself through the fucking bright lights. You know, it was like, it was impressive. You know, I see a lot of guys get caught up in the lights. You know, like when the lights come, it's like, yo, you don't know how you caught, you lost in the sauce.
1:16:07That should be a new term you bring back and you recycle. Lost in the sauce. You lost in the sauce. You guys are lost in the sauce. Yeah. But the best, man. Best human. Fuck basketball. like in terms of brotherhood and the loyalty that he has for his people, the way he takes care of his people. Like, man, shout out Pooh. Honestly, I'm impressed. I love people. Like you see it. Like when you go through adversity, you see who's a real motherfucker. And when motherfuckers have real success, you also see that shit too. You know what I'm saying? Like, can you have a humility about yourself when, you know, when you're around, when people look at you as great.
1:16:51Now, when you're young, I give every rapper a two-year grace period, right? Because I asked Lil' Cocky Kyle who came here. He's a young boy that's on fire. And I said, yo, I know what it's like for people, regular people to know me, yo, Fat Joey. And then the next day I got a hit and they running like, yo, Fat Joe, yo, yo, yo, yo. For me, it takes like two years to get off that cloud and then we'll see who you truly are. Did you let the fame get to you? The money get to you? The success? You know, you don't know how many rappers I've seen come in humble and two years later, they got a purple Yorkie dog with them and they start acting like they forgot the whole shit.
1:17:34So I give them two years because it takes two years. It takes two years for a girl who barely got men to all of a sudden be a sex symbol and every guy they ever thought and the history of mankind is rapping to them every day at a club and all that. It takes two years for all that shit to settle down, soak in. Now, if you're an asshole, you're an asshole. If you're gas or you think who you are, you are who you are, or you come back to earth and you're pretty much who you are. So when you're young, I can see people getting caught on that shit, but then you got to figure out life. Somebody got to know what they talking about out there.
1:18:14I give them a grace period. You know what I mean? Anybody who just come into money, come into fame, you know, they got to get used to this new lifestyle of what's going on. And, you know, and if you full of shit, you full of shit. And we've seen more full of shitters than, you know, I always ask Angie this. Angie Martinez, one of my wife's best friends, she's always in the house. I be like, your Ange. Angie don't talk shit either, though. But I be asking Ange, your Ange, what are the artists? Because she's in the radio. she walks them come for the first spin and then they come by the next year the next year the next year and I ask her quietly beyond the scene like who are some artists she like Joe please have you even start to believe the shit that I seen on the radio of how people switched up and they get caught up in the fame the lights the money but one thing that bugs me out about athletes you the man college you the man NBA the crowd is screaming for you you walk in how hard is it as an athlete when you retire and you don't hear that no more you know us Patti LaBelle I just seen her on TV she's going on tour 81 years old Smokey Robinson and them they still rocking 80 years old the artists as long as you got a voice God willing you can keep going the athlete is an expiration date.
1:19:45For real. And what does that feel like? No expiration date. No, no, they got the paper. Oh, no. Yeah, that's what you need. Bro, my neighbor in Miami is Jamal Mashburn. He ain't playing 50 years. He's up. He walk around with his wife like, Hi, Joe. I'd be like, damn, then they gotta have it. You know. Of course they up financially if they didn't blow the bag. Yeah. Well, it's more than the bag. Like the bag is definitely a piece of it, but it's true. You're, you, you're playing in front of 20 ,000 people, you know, for as long as you play. And then all of a sudden when it's, when it's done, it's like, you don't get that no more ever.
1:20:28You're not, you're not the gladiator anymore. Your frequency as a competitor, like who you are as a competitor, like you got to change. Like, I can't be like, yo, fuck that. It's not that anymore. It's not fuck that team, fuck that city. We over here, we coming in. If I live my life how I was as a competitor now, you'd be in trouble. I'd be in trouble. So I had to change my whole mindset knowing like, okay, I'm not playing in those games anymore. It's about bringing people together. and I'm really careful how I, because with these shorties, the way I talk about like this generation, the game is different.
1:21:16The money is bigger. The expectations are bigger. The pressure is bigger. When you get dunked on, the whole world sees it on their phone. When I was playing, it was still - If you bump into somebody with the Beijing on their shirt, the whole world sees it. Shout out to Jalen Brown. We're working on him coming on the box. Rewind at 10.

I don't want to give the wrong guy props because there's a lot of them. That's dope, man. I didn't know that Omar had a show like that. Oh, yeah, he did. And he was almost like, what's that channel? Nah, this ain't the guy I'm talking about. Nah, it was a different guy. This ain't the guy. My guy ain't got no money like this. This guy got fancy suits and all that. My guy's a regular guy. Nine to fiver. He go out there and he make it happen.
1:31:57He ain't the one. Shout out Hard Rock Bet. You want to bet on the games and all that? NBA predictions this year. You jump out the window, future. Who you think going to take the East? Who you think going to take the West? Who's going to win the chip? Rookie of the year, defensive. Just early, you know it's still. All right, so East, the Knicks got to take it this year. They got to take the East. We ain't disagreeing with that one, baby. Got to take, the Knicks got to take it. This is the year. But, you know. Who? Who? Say no more. I'm with you. Who? And then in the West, the West is tricky, but I think it's still early.
1:32:38I like the Rockets. Amen. It's too bad that that point guard, Fred Van Clee got hurt. Clee. Yo, we called him Van Clee. Crucio. Nah, he's Van Clee. Yo. Nah, what's his name? Yo, what's his name? the light-skinned dude from up in Toronto. Van Fleet. Van Fleet, close enough, goddammit. Van Cleef and Van Fleet, the same shit. He's a hell of a player. That's my dog, man. Van Fleet and Van Cleef is the same shit. That's fucked up. Yeah, that's fucked up. He won a chip in Toronto. He's a very great player. But finally, finally, Kevin Durant is making a difference. finally. They put a... Nah, he went on a team.
1:33:36He won a chip for free over there at Golden State. Ever since then, we've been waiting for the match. I don't got nothing to do with this. I'm telling you the truth. Yo, listen. It don't matter to me. It's got nothing to do with this. He finally... He reached... Listen. He fits in that system. He went to fucking Phoenix stunk it up to all them places. I'm keeping it a buck with you. But finally, the chemistry, he was the right piece. I'm not saying he ain't one of the greatest of all time. I'm just talking about fitting in with a system right now. He looking like a superstar with that. But they picked the right guy for that.
1:34:22System, OKC and Denver to me out the West. Somebody, one of these two is coming out the West. That's it. Nobody, they ain't beating them. At the end of the day, that towel be over they head and they'll walk out the tunnel like they always do. But MVP prediction, my MVP of the NBA for the next four to five years is called Wimba Yamba. If Wimba Yamba doesn't get hurt. It's a wrap. It is a wrap. Yeah, just give them all the awards. Give them everything. Give them all. Wimba Yamba. You see this guy, your butter. 7-7.

They're going back there now. All right, now the youth, they fucking out of that area, dawg. You're not listening to me. The euphemism, last couple of years, was saying Michael Jordan ain't the greatest. He was playing against white boys.
1:36:25I didn't hear that. I heard that. He played against what's called Malone, the white boy, stocked into this. The biggest shit they saying in the hood is he was playing against white boys. They try to act like Larry Bird wasn't white. He wasn't good. He was. I'm telling you. Yo, Kiss, you outside, outside. You should know this. Larry Bird is white and is white. Yo, nephew, say the truth. They say that MJ wasn't the greatest because he played against white niggas. right now they got white niggas busting they ass dizzy nigga on TV every day the Joker Luca you know the move every time you get them niggas are white they from Yugoslavia you know what a Serbian do to you they are white that's a different white we're not talking about all American that's not the same white that's Serbian Yeah.

1:38:18I ain't called him the MVP. All right, MVP. He's a white boy. I don't know if he's from Yugoslavia or Serbia or whatever. I'm looking at a white boy balling. When I look at Joker, he's a white boy balling. I don't give a fuck if he's from Texas, the middle of America, whatever. He's a white boy. They are telling me that Michael Jordan is not the greatest of all time because he was busting white boys' ass. Not pause. I wasn't there. I never heard it. I heard it. is either the youth said they didn't see him or something like that. So, Bron and Colbin, this and that. I never heard they said he wasn't nice because he played against white people.

Because he always told me, yo, there's somebody more hungry than me. He said, somebody going to come out here and DJ so crazy and they're going to take my slot. And LeBron caught a little sciatica and let Reeves and them boys go. And them niggas out here scoring 51. I have one. Damn. This is why this is the number one podcast. We don't hide this shit. LeBron fucked up. I am telling you he might be on the trading block now without him knowing.
1:44:39Okay. You don't think so? They're not doing that, Jada. Jada. Okay. No. Okay. Can I speak my piece? Go ahead. Go ahead. Can I speak my piece? Of course. Can I speak? No, no. Ron's on the trading block. Ron ain't on no damn trading block, dog. He ain't never getting traded. They let these guys go who's getting$2 right. He's never getting traded. Okay, can I say something? They just, they scored fifth. You're going to have Rich Paul up here next week. All right, so what if? That's cool. I'm going to tell them in this straight. You think I'm scared of Rich Paul? It's not about being scared. Are you fucking crazy?
1:45:15It's about saying something stupid. It's bronze on the trading block. I'm not saying nothing stupid. but I'm telling you that I'm going to ask him. You just said he was on the training block. LeBron fucked up. LeBron took a couple of days off. And did you know that Austin Reed could score 51 points and 40 points a game? Did you know? You've been watching all the games. He didn't know. Did you know? Well, hello. We know now. So you rather have. LeBron is 40 years old. You know who LeBron is, dog. So you think they'd rather lose to LeBron just to have LeBron? because if LeBron come and try to take the game over, it's a wrap.
1:45:52Same old Lakers. This shit they running right now, it's a new Lakers. And I speak. If LeBron don't come in there, play his position. It's eight games. It's eight games. What LeBron is in right now is one of the teams when he wins the chip. He don't got to do that much. He don't got to do shit. LeBron was doing everything when he was winning the chip. Yo, what teams you was watching? LeBron was playing five people. No, that's young LeBron. I'm talking after he's got with Wade and Bosh and everybody else, he gets the teams where he can save his gears to the playoffs. They can hold it like they're doing now.
1:46:29When they engage, it's something you can't do. Fat Joe, early prediction, shoot me whatever, fuck the comments up, this, this, that. LeBron James is getting traded by the L.A. Lakers.

1:47:15I'm trying to tell you. Let them sit out of two more weeks and let them kids keep scoring 50-something. Come back in the game and them niggas are scoring 12 points, running behind Brown and keep losing. They're not doing that. Five games to 82 games is a big difference, dog. The Knicks traded Patrick Ewing. Chicago Bulls traded Scottie Pippen. Yeah, not Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan went to Washington. Never traded. He left. Yo, these teams don't give a fuck. These teams, if it's something. This is awesome. Listen. If it's something. If it's something. You bugging, dog. You tweaking right now.

That's what you thinking. All right. And I'm trying to tell you. You act like you haven't been watching what he's doing. That's what you're thinking. Can you answer my question? That's what you're thinking. What was he? What the? How powerful is he thus far? Little sciatic. How powerful has he been? Not no more. I'm telling you right now. They put the young boys on the floor. Weak it, dog. All right? He can get Austin Reeves out of here right now.

1:55:18Who's the guys you connected with on the financial literacy? On our block, Mocafine Bank. Yeah, I'm tapping with them, and we're doing some good different things within the community. So, you know. Hey, but from player to player, from young kid right now who'll be the next hottest in the city, this and this and that, or all around, give me one thing you could tell them not to do to get into the NBA. What should they avoid to get into the NBA? Because you're the one guy I always go to that I say should have been in the NBA, but didn't make it to the NBA because, you know, you was a star in Harlem.
1:56:00Like you was in the NBA in Harlem. All the girls want you, everybody with you, Cameron, your cousin, this, this, that. What bit of advice would you give some kids coming up in the game that got a lot of potential to get to the NBA, what they shouldn't do? What they shouldn't do is focus on what others are saying. stay true to yourself you know what I'm saying continue to learn be more of a listener that was one of my mistakes when I was young I didn't really listen too much so you know as you get older you don't want to sit back and say oh if I would have knew this nah be honest you wasn't listening accountability you know what I mean that's really like a big main thing for me to help the next generation and spread that word about just being accountable When you start to be accountable, you'll grow.
1:56:53Facts. Richie Parker. Richie Parker. Nah. Richie Parker should have been in the NBA. Kareem Reid, we went and got him a tryout with the Knicks. Yeah. They don't know. I took a guy off the street, pulled him in with Isaiah Thomas, gave him a tryout. Isaiah said, man, this guy came in smelling like blunts. We can't do it. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, NBA different. Man, I just told you Tony Parker ate a bean for breakfast, bro. Like, he was eating asparagus for fucking lunch. Kareem Reid coming off of Harlem. Yeah, you the man in Harlem. But when they running them drills in the garden, it's shit different.
1:57:32I don't know if you remember, but Kiss, he had Rough Riders. He had the first father and son that we ever seen, which was Steve Burt Sr. and Steve Burt Jr. Legends of... What's going to do, man? You know what I mean? You talking about my brother.

I got to give you your props. You know what I mean? Jamal Tinsley was dead nice. Don't slow to him, brother. Serious satellite. Shout out to Kenny Satterfield. Listen, don't slow to him, brother. I got to give him like too much. Those was, those was, I mean, we had the best of the city, but he did have some dogs. I got to keep it real. Hold up. Hey, butter, the other day, I forgot his name, and I don't want to get killed. But the other day, I'm at the Knick game, and they playing Cleveland, and one of the guys that used to play at the Rucker is the assistant coach.
1:58:30Omar Cook. Omar fucking Cook. So he's a person now. Cook. Holy shit. Let me tell you something. I grabbed him. This is not a mistake. Listen to me, Jokey. I watched him in the streets. When he see you don't know his name, he going to be mad at him. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, I'm fried. Niggas know I'm fried. I don't remember my name. I'm keeping it real with you. When this man came up to say what's up to Fat Joe, I almost cried, bro. I looked at him and I said, you the coach? He said, yo, I'm the coach. I was like, congratulations, man. God bless you, man. Like, I can't believe it.
1:59:13It's Omar fucking Cook. And I went, I told my wife, I told 100 people that day. I was like, yo, this kid used to play at the Rucker. I can't believe I don't know his name. I knew you would know his name. I should have called you at the time so I don't look stupid. You got Sham Guard. He's doing what Orlando Magic. You got Sham Diss Me. I don't know if I'm big enough up no more. You got Royale Ivy. You know what I mean? He's always been coaching, assistant coach. He was in the Brooklyn Nets. He don't get that coaching. You know what I mean? Or Royale Ivy. He used to play for Cardoza, went to Texas.
1:59:45You know what I mean? Tony Rosa, one of the greatest coaches. Always shout out Tony Rosa. Always. But hold up, Joaquin. Hold up. Always. Tony Rosa, one of the greatest coaches. But Tony Rosa, who's somebody I respect too much for coaching, the day we put a terror squad uniform on Abe Butter, he was the Indian man crying when the TV came off. Them niggas just said, he had another, it's another Spanish nigga that was with Tony Rosa. Brother of Rock Rose. Oh, my God. When he walked in, I worked on him all winter. Took him to Miami, drop top, Bentley steaks, and lobsters, whatever you want. This, I worked, because he used to kill us.
2:00:27He was the Terror Squad killer. I mean, we went triple four, overtop, said the lights came up. Also, BMF. Him and Steph on Mulberry. BMF was throwing money out the helicopter at his pool party, just to reiterate. Shout out to Butterfuco and Khaled. They hugged me for both. You know, I said I started Memorial Weekend. They called me up. I got death threats from the Jamaican mafia. They called me up, said Butterfuco was with you, Joe. You erased a mind history. I said, no. Butterfuco, thank you for being one of the biggest promoters. We did Memorial Weekend together. But you, you seen some shit out there.
2:01:07But what I'm saying is the day, that part, because he was the terror squad killer. The day he walked in with that jersey. Tony Rosa couldn't believe it because he coached you since what, high school? Since I was like 14, 15. I used to play for the Mustang. Shout out to the Mustang. And I love, love, love Tony Rosa. And I wasn't happy about it, but I couldn't. This guy was going to beat us. He was really the only coach. He was going to take one of the chips. You know what I mean? If we being honest, there was a lot of y 'all. You know what I mean? He was the real coach out there. I had to buy him out.
2:01:39I had to bring him. He was killing us. He going up against Stephon Mulberry, 3.3, 3.3, 3.3, 3.3, 3.3, 3.3. I said, bro, Joe, if you can't beat him, join him. You got to join A Butter. The Terran Squad joined A Butter. I had to get that man off the market. Yeah, he had a team out there, too. I don't know if you remember Pearl Harbor. I remember him. Hell yeah. Yeah, Andre Barrett and all of them. Just shout out to them. Shout out to Andre Barrett. You know what I mean? They out there. They in the league. Andre Barrett was somebody I thought should have really, really went. He was there. No, he was there, but I mean, like, really.
2:02:16Out there. You want to know what happened to Andre Barrett? Because I'm a huge Andre Barrett fan. He didn't do him. So he came in the league and he was doing what they told him to do, pass the ball, this, this, that. I was waiting for him to do him. and so he was such a company guy he brought him in but he never did him and if he would have did him he would have had a longer career in the NBA how proud of us was this Skip Tamalu Skip Tamalu caught a check too huh? he caught a real fucking check we're in Houston? Houston Skip is probably the greatest story in Rucker history in streetball history he's the one guy that I've seen doing it remember the year we had Skip he came and played that's when he won the championship again three other guys I gotta go up against to make sure I play when they took that ball out and Skip was like that crowd couldn't and he passed it to Steph and Steph used to do that shit where he'd go low and do some shit it was almost like Matrix remember that shit the way he used to that's how he used to come in Then they pass it to Ream.
2:03:32Ream do the circle up. It was just too much. It was too much. It was like Camelot, my nigga. Royal team. We had too many more. One day we put Steph on with AI out there. They was killing it. One day we had a game with Steph on and AI. They were the two best point guards. Kerry Thompson. Shout out to Natural Controller. You know what I mean? I got to make sure. Rest in peace to Greg Marius and Ali Mo. You know what I'm saying? Man, Greg Marius, a man of honor. we can't talk bad in the Roc Nation building but anybody else would have found a way to give that game to Jay-Z and Roc Nation or cancel it or this the man said y 'all Fat Joe and them won that took a lot of heart for that man to say that you know what I'm saying so shout out Greg Marius I also went when he was passing away I went to the hospital he requested me to go there and man what a good man bro what a great man Greg Marius and the whole family peace y 'all this ain't that that ain't this it's A-Button and Crack and Kiss let's go put the music for MASH on right now

From the publisher
Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by 2x NBA All-Star Joakim Noah. Noah tells Joe and Jada about his career journey, from his legendary Florida Gators squad with Al Horford, Billy Donovan, and Corey Brewer that won back-to-back-to-back NCAA college basketball titles (the same era where Tim Tebow and Aaron Hernandez were winning championships in football), to his years playing alongside NBA MVP Derrick Rose on the Chicago Bulls, to his two-year stint with Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. They also have in-depth discussions about New York City streetball at Rucker Park, San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama's rise to stardom, and what the Los Angeles Lakers will do with LeBron James after the recent stellar play from the Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves duo. Additionally, Joe and Jada welcome NYC streetball legend Adrian "A-Butta" Walton to discuss his new book and his advice for the new generation of ballers.
