Navigating Turbulent Waters: Reflections on a Chaotic Year with Kobe and Steve Nash

How was that year with take me over there, Steve Nash? I was here with Kobe and Steve Nash. Honestly, you know, you can get into it, but it’s just happening too often. And it’s always over the ball instead of. It’s difficult playing with Kobe, because in one, it’s an expectation, you know, winning, fine. He was in the draft type of fourth last year in rebounding in the NBA. He went to win that last one. And then two is like, everybody expected me and Kobe to be like the new Kobe and Shaq. One of those kind of guys. World peace. Lava underneath is damage on the offensive end as well. Prior to that, lava underneath. A half percent. And I’m just coming off injury. I’m still dealing with all the mental shit from being in Orlando. And now I gotta go to LA. And I’m playing with Kobe Bryant. I watched him play. They beat us in the finals. It’s the final seconds as the buzzer sounds, it’s official. The Lakers are NBA champions once again. LA wins the 2,009 1. I was already pissed cause I had to go to LA. You know, nobody ever knew I didn’t want to go to LA. And it looks like Dwight Howard is on the move. A deal that just really came about over the last couple of hours. Howard going to the Lakers. That means. Are you didn’t. You didn’t want to go to the Lakers? I Didn’t want to go to the Lakers because I wanted to beat the Lakers. They just beat us in the finals. Fisher bringing the toughness, Pau Gasol bringing the. So in my mind, I’m like, why would I go to the team that just beat us? I wanted to go to Brooklyn and just start my whole career over. But I got sent to LA and I was like, man, I’m gonna come back and we’re gonna try to win in LA. So there are the pieces right now in this four team deal, and there are some draft picks there as well. I mean, we. We. Obviously, you know, we made some improvements this summer, to say the least. I mean, it’s been a blockbuster summer for us, and it’s just unbelievable, really. I mean, talking about what the Lakers been able to pull off after kind of regrouping after the Chris Paul debacle, you know, here we are, reloaded again, and it’s pretty. It’s pretty phenomenal. I have. I talked to him last night. Hey, what’s up? Yo, yo, yo, listen, yo, you know, LA is happy to have you. You know, you’re part of the team now, you know. You know, and, um, you know, we’re looking forward to, you know, getting this. Getting this ring, man. You know. You know, I’m happy for you, man. It’s all over with, you know, I’m happy for you, you know, so. And it didn’t work out. And I made An emotional decision to leave. It’s official. Alright. Yes, sir. We’re eight down, baby. Bringing it home. We missed about five of those tonight. The Lakers have not been able to get it. And Howard with the elbows. And Kobe was defending. And some words exchanged. And this goes back to. There’s one little jab, there’s two. Well, obviously, pro Laker crowd here and pro Kobe. I love it. Little Bad Bloods, always good, huh? Yeah, it’s all good. I mean. And I didn’t really make a smart, logical decision. I just made something and I made an emotional decision. At the time, you should have set that whole. You’re right. I should have said the whole year you got off the back. I just had back surgery. And I told my labor, Steve Nash is old and at the time never said he’s supposed to be in with the back. Was what, ten times? I was gonna sit out for a whole year. A whole year? But I came back in four months. Yeah, I thought we wanted that. Sound like me and Michael Frazier. You super on human niggas, man. Yeah, I was. They took out this much of my back. My herniated this. How much did you take out of your back? Like, that much in your back? No, but they took out this much of my disc in my, uh. In my back. It took out. Did you. Did y’all play together? No. Play together. Wow. Oh, see, he say that shit. What the fuck we got? We gotta ask you some questions. Obviously, we appreciate you pulling up. Take your time. Take your time.
