Our boys — Gary II and Shawn Jr. — they’re around the same age, and you know what’s the funniest sh*t of all time? Some people can’t talk the talk and walk the walk, you know what I’m saying?

One day in practice, I was done with that sh*t. I told him, “Man, nah, f*ck that, I ain’t doing sh*t you say.” Xavier looked at me and was like, “Young boy, you ain’t even did sh*t in this league and you’re trying to f*cking tell me what the fu*ck to do? It was good to be back in Seattle. I’ll be like, “Whatever you’re going through, we gotta think about it, man. It was the other way around for me — because after my parents divorced and I told my dad I wanted to go live with him. were scared of my father. I feel great. He maintains his ethics while playing. And he’s like, “Can you believe we used to do this and now we looking at our sons doing this?”I shook my head: Nah, I couldn’t believe it, either.

He played two years for MH. It is a great achievement for his career that he is the only player who ever got the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. The lotto ball came out at the right time, and that was that. Michael is on a different level than I knew there was.In a matter of minutes, I’m in foul trouble. After that, I did everything he said. Apart from his basketball playing, Gary earns lots of money from some sponsorships and endorsement deals, as well.Gary is considered as one of the famous point guards of all-time history. Welcome to the NBA, little fella.”The Bulls won the title that season, and then five more before he was done.Back in ’91, ‘92 though?

Shawn’s had some tough years. And people learned not to repeat that mistake.On the playground, growing up, my dad would always tell me, “If they talk sh*t to you, talk back to them.” I got good at it because it was a weapon — I knew I could have a distraction on the other guy. And put me in one of those sleepers, right with everyone watching and everything. That was it. In 2006 Gary won the NBA championship. And Shawn does that well now. I know that for sure. The lucky thing about the situation was I had those veteran guys. He used to have the backups playing 10 times harder than starters because they were so scared of him.
