you know train bunch NBA guys own a clothing line called colorblind and Black Ops is umbrella that we do the training under there's my manager Alex Koblenz I work with a bunch of tre young Kevin Knox Chris you know we focus generally on their digital side of stuff but with Chris we do everything off the court got it so what the players are they're digital you're not necessarily their certified agent no they're doing the marketing so what tre right for example as somebody who's like super deep now into my number one thing on earth right now like literally I can't make people believe it by the way let me hedge it here I do not believe I believe old basketball cards are ridiculously great long-term investment Alijah one barkley rookies way back I'm gonna loo come in here and open the safe I want to show them my Lew Alcindor rookie cards um but on some short-term [ __ ] and I don't know when the market called the next 18 to 24 months and then it might collapse but for the next 18 to 24 months rookie cards are the best fit what's that what are those these are panini get the Lew Alcindor reviewers look at me you're looking at it yeah there's nothing but cards in that safe Jackie Robinson rookie card 1948 leaf well I mean for you to write that's the real one the real you've got the real is that yeah that's Kareem's [ __ ] rookie it's amazing that was why your initial hustles with cards that's right like I'm literally going full like my current hustles are sports cards and wine I'm literally living my 1994 life again that's crazy 25th anniversary tour baby what anyway so got it so you do them you do marketing stuff for and you do marketing for him that's awesome he's like changed my life as far as actually you know what back to like hey I want to make sure people know about your show I don't want to talk about basketball culture there's a ton of general [ __ ] I want to talk about but actually knowing how many entrepreneurs are here so impersonal brands and influencers you know hearing somebody who have saying he changed my life we hear nothing but horror stories of like I hired this [ __ ] person they took 20% they did dog [ __ ] it [ __ ] sucks you just have changed my life take the mic 100% you changed my lifestyle that's for everybody out there who's got a little something going followers little Fame you know Netflix celebrity or [ __ ] Instagram this and that and like thinking about manager why did he change your life everything was over the place I thought I could just do my DMS and emails contact these companies and yeah and so in like a year he's gotten me you know the first trainer ever to be have my you know real sneaker deal up again be a player sneaker deal I'm and in an NBA 2k I'm the first trainer ever to have my own character in 2k that's [ __ ] crazy so Ike so basically everyone in the world that plays a video game I'm the most famous trainer you have to train with me yes which is cool they're my tattoos on there and that was a nightmare the tattoos yes it's a huge thing the IP o the artists are suing 2k it's like left and right so they are like do this super complex yeah this is where art this is where people try to do like artists tattoo artists out there oh you I'm gonna say something right now I haven't heard about this only because I knew some stuff cover up the Hulu thing with Damian Lillard if artists are trying to sue for their it's their art on people's body when then it goes into games or movies and stuff it's a really interesting thing if you go down that route they're gonna blur it out hmm cool now what how'd you get put on in the first place sex I think also there's other issues because you know there's people still on my [ __ ] take all my content make money you know me people run garyvee accounts on YouTube pre-roll and make money on my [ __ ] do you know how many people strip all my content set up a separate YouTube account that they own and run ads against my [ __ ] and make money a lot you know who's the happiest of it me I'm getting the exposure keep the pennies I'll take the dollars yeah right there that should be it right there good yes oh he's done you up in a red boat deal he's just got me all these deals um dad as a full-time professional I couldn't get myself you ironically as a trainer and understands how many jump shots one has to take to be good at it on the business side try to do the [ __ ] that US grub players think oh yeah well I shoot sometimes and I should be good yeah what doesn't happen it's the reps for sure that's awesome so he's a he's done and then you have a new train facility just basically you know 360 forty fourth and third so I helped design it it's this beautiful state of our basketball change is the [ __ ] happened

and why and when all of a sudden everyone just started talking about this gym that the [ __ ] legit [ __ ] players during the offseason we're funky ass clothes like so much of culture that's like a fashion show yeah like the hoodie [ __ ] LeBaron's crazy like [ __ ] hooked up shorts and [ __ ] like that's like how the [ __ ] did that happen what was that and for everybody who's listening right now frame it up because I think a lot of people know about it because they've seen the clips but they haven't made the association to your world mm-hmm yeah how did it happen and you have this gym in my mind I just did it was doing these workouts you know I've always been in the fashion tattoos or whatever the fashion thing I'm always been in the music Chris Brown was like one of my best friends years ago and that opened their eyes yeah you can't like you guys were friends as kids no I thought we from 24 to 28 I always liked someone we connected I was with Melo training in LA he just got out of jail and um we met at a party and he's like yo it's the workout so I worked him out he kind of just loved it yeah and uh we became real close and that's kind of how today I'm so I wanted Travis Scott store taught him how to shoot for like two months during the winter that was crazy such a [ __ ] similar life you and I just in different skill sets in the same way that all the thick people that I think are the coolest want to come and get a skill for me in business all the people that you think are the coolest want to get better basketball yeah it's crazy it's gun yeah I think I want to get better I am the worst jump shot of anybody I know no I'm effective with it but from a form standpoint it's completely dismantled thank you did before you walked in here I don't think so we need to do a session oh no it's incredibly awkward it's some Shawn Marion [ __ ] it looks ridiculous and goes in way more than it should but nowhere close to anything that's respectable we need to do a session would you be down for it okay we're going to I actually have been thinking a lot about you know I've been working out now for the last four years and I'm pissed and I'm starting hit fatigue I've gained some weight and I've like lost a little my way and I think it's just boredom of the thing and I'm like maybe I need to fight like lately I've been thinking about like maybe I should fight work out to actually fight like you know those will learn how to fight right cuz like at this point with what's going on my life that's probably a good skill set whether it's a as you get more Fame and known like something weird could go down and somebody gets crazy and B as you get more known you might just want to challenge somebody else that's cool and beat them up and have a viral video like I just want to beat up somebody like you know so like that might be getting ya but I'm not scared of losing I would probably be the most excited if there was a clip of me getting nuff knocked the [ __ ] out by Dave East I'm like this guy I probably when I wake up the next day I'd probably be like you know this is at least eight million views yes I could imagine when you're not worried about losing you know scared money you know when you're not worried about losing that's what I love about [ __ ] UFC fighters they all are gonna lose it's a nature of the sport yeah it's not like boxing where there's enough padding where skill is like it's just too raw anyway nonetheless so you guys making prints yeah the question yeah I don't know I just New York City's helped you know being obsessed with the game has helped not caring about money for the first eight years of trainings helped being broken struck I mean you know this about me mmm so I got to use other examples besides me saying we live in it tell the kids how much you today with all that like 90% of my audience wants to be doing what you're doing mmm tell them how much actually eating [ __ ] for eight years for real and explained your [ __ ] eating because when you're not worried about money you're eating [ __ ] mm-hmm and people like you know people always like me like it was easy for you Gary your dad gave you a liquor son like you don't know my story I built my dad's business before him I left at 34 do you think I would have started vaynermedia at 34 years old in somebody else's yeah no [ __ ] conference room if I had all sorts of money you know I built a business for somebody else in the 34 by never paying myself more than a hundred thousand I had no money when I tell everybody be patient it's easy I did it I was 34 and had no money I made a video yesterday if you're 26 I want to remind you that I was ringing up people at a register in a liquor store when I was your age tell me about the eight years yeah [ __ ] it actually kind of gives me on even like talking about it because I don't want a kid to see it and be like damn I don't think I could yeah I was just dead broke you know I had zero money I would do workouts for free I would always Mike McCown was always in the negative people didn't think that dope said beer and MBA guys you know I slept in the Ole Miss practice facility with rats for a whole year getting $1,000 for the whole season you know I lived in New York and every debt you could think of possible people thought that everything was good cuz I'm working on MBA guys but it wasn't a 0 grow up I grew up in New Hampshire so right so the people from back home like oh he went to the big city oh yeah and I think it's great I didn't charge and be hey guys at first I just wanted to get my why um I was worried that off to bat why because if I was in a charged them that they were gonna be like they weren't gonna want to do it I don't know what I don't know why I like period Bowie for everybody who's listening and saying this is [ __ ] you tell like some people got mad at me recently you're telling everybody do something for free I'm like I'm not talking about you do anything I'm telling everybody one of the ways to get in you're looking at two people who did things for free that got in you want to charge you think some noble act is being put on you of like people are mad like you're undermining the price of something I'm like no not the market is the market you go to the [ __ ] do you think I am you think my little point of view in the world impacts designers and artists and trainers get the [ __ ] out of here yeah I'm giving you one of the ways in subway nobody knows who the [ __ ] you are they don't want to pay you facts yeah I clearly would go months literally in ramen noodles in the subway every single meal easy as [ __ ] to do that at 20 like the way you're saying it right now and everybody's like you said don't I don't think anybody that's easier in twenties sometimes but like it's not the worse than your twenties no like if you've got to make your dream if you want to be in [ __ ] the two game video game if you want to be friends with LeBron and demilo if you want to be an sneaker deal you need to eat some [ __ ] in your 20s which oh by the way you eat anyway hmm you'd much rather eat [ __ ] in your 20s to live the life you're living now than to waste it like do me people complain and are living in a studio apartment in Bushwick and buying $5 coffees you're making the wrong [ __ ] decision you don't want it that bad you're not willing to sacrifice you want to make pretend you're winning along the way there are a few times I'd be a poet iPlayer would fly me out say we'd be in Miami and we have to meet at University of Miami Jim and I would have to take over to meet the player and that override who are you an executive yeah and then I didn't have a way to get back you know facts life happened numerous time stuff like that so how'd you get back I would have to make up a story with the MBA guy I didn't want them beep no when I was broke either yeah so I'd have to be like yo um my thing I would say my uber account was like because my rate I would lie about my rating I couldn't get over Q you know that star rating I need you dog yeah cuz I did that man I uh oh yeah you actually do have it no sir not a nice guy right no I'm kidding no but uh your reading is through the roof by the way cuz I'm all charming and [ __ ] in the back plus I was like first that's dope we're talking about saying actually where's AJ [ __ ] right there have you ever seen this is the one of the great mistakes of my career Travis comes to New York and he's like yo Gary I need you to take the first goober in New York cuz I got a test to service and I'm like I gotta go on this client call I'm like yo AJ take it that is an email from uber emailing AJ thanking him for being the first ever person to take an uber in that's wild New York how crazy is that email yes what's a safer dick podcast hey AJ I wanted to say thanks for being our first ever uber rider in New York guys do you know lucky the world is that AJ was the first Super Rider and I wasn't cuz AJ's super humble and quiet doesn't talk about [ __ ] if that was me I would this story would have been told today for the 19 mm time this week you also got a credit says for 10 bucks I know I might have to actually post that he's a big ol bird a there's a very interesting day for me Wow yes I mean I lost out on lots but I made lots nobody's crying for me today this is Wow so yes so that's that was your life when did you when did it turn to something a little more sustainable you got the job of the Knicks yeah a little bit yeah for sure that helped my first year at the

next I was an intern so they were they don't pay anything I was so I actually had to live with the that is funny I've never spoken said this [ __ ] scoops uh yeah so I live with the girl she was like my girlfriend but I really didn't really like it like that I was just living with their sorry to have a spot to live um I was in Jersey yeah so human does a lot of that going on a whole year and is just up because I just wanted to be in basketball on to work so bad that I would sacrifice my personal life of spending time with her whoo and I didn't even really love her maybe she might have thought I did and then the next year I got a promotion and actually broke up but there's [ __ ] up listen everybody's listening you know what's funny they think it's [ __ ] up but if you really talk real [ __ ] and humans don't talk real [ __ ] people make trades bro people make trades she might hear this and instead of what everybody thinks like all her feelings are she like I [ __ ] them that's real talk guys everyone's like this sounds like stunts I'm obviously using the exposed extreme way to say it but she's like maybe she loved that year hmm maybe that's the best year I don't know maybe it's not maybe she's pissed I don't know but humans make trades and humans make sacrifices and we don't talk truth in our society we don't talk about sex money in our society you know not for sure it's just the truth you could everybody listening you could judge all three girlfriends I had in my 20s were there because I didn't want to be lonely because I was working from 9:00 a. m. to 9:00 p. m. every [ __ ] day I wasn't dating I didn't go I worked every Friday and Saturday night from 22 to 28 of my entire [ __ ] life till 9:00 to 10:00 p. m. and was tired after working 15 hours in a retail store on my feet on the floor so now at 43 can be like right those girlfriends were a utility for an enablement for what I wanted I was nice to them we had good relationships yeah there's some wonder Punk that they could walk around and say they put my girlfriend for a couple years now it's not making it better for them and more importantly not even like that like LOI like whatever like more that it was a fine time like everybody's trying to do the best they can and maybe I didn't even I didn't fully realize I was doing that mm-hm it's subconscious yes you that's true right looks like it's your master plan was you know like you know what I mean yeah you realize it later mm-hmm so for everybody who's judging seven minutes ago [ __ ] you look at your own [ __ ] actions Thanks yes the Knicks um I guess just recently just within the past year so I could tell I told my dad you know you get retire you know that could really take care of I could start doing stuff with money and yes a long time people it didn't take that long let's again yeah I'm going very real here there's something about us together at this moment like I'm going to a lot of real places no it did not take very long sounds like it was about eight or nine ten years when you live a hundred [ __ ] years that's not a big percentage of your life if you actually told people to eat [ __ ] for nine years and it will highly likely result in a lot more of what you're trying to achieve not maybe everything that you dreamed up and [ __ ] yachts and [ __ ] but a lot more than if you spent nine years being half pregnant living in the studio by yourself instead of with a roommate drinking a four dollar Blue Bottle coffee in Bushwick instead of making Maxwell House [ __ ] I mean this we have to start talking about sacrifices for 1% lifes you want to retire papa you have to drink [ __ ] there's nobody retiring there Papa starting at zero in nine years that drinks $4 coffee in Bushwick and that's what I see from everybody everybody's complaining and hard takes forever I'm like you're wasting money on dumb [ __ ] you're not sacrificing for your actual dream you want it to be easy all along the way you still think it's [ __ ] high school and your parents are taking care of you hmm soft you guys are [ __ ] soft well a $4 coffee is like the easiest thing to cut out right I mean when and ready for this actually it's a great opportunity has been meaning to clarify this I don't think people who drink $4 coffee or soft if they don't complain almost all my advice actually an exciting advice because I actually don't think I'm putting out advice I context of information that you need to look at and decide what it means for you that's my intent mm-hmm but the one clarification just for everybody listening is I don't think you're soft if you drink $4 coffee I complain about your life and drink $4 coffee if you complain that your start you can't raise money for your startup cool save your money and you can start your own startup I four dollar coffee but I'm not complaining out here yeah so I don't think it took long bro and so now as you know how old are you 32 I'm all older than you think no you're not and I think because I can do basic math of like you being out of school in eight years like here's what I think I wish a lot more people are really listening and paying attention because I think 99% of the world would eat [ __ ] for the first 10 years of the professional life to get the 32 to be in a position to be doing what they want lucrative ly but they're confused because they didn't want to put in any days of sacrifice let alone three thousand six hundred fifty of them mmm that's real that's it that's actually my current thesis and the whole [ __ ] thing lack of sacrifice for the ambition that's coming out of your mouth hmm I don't want anybody to be stressed I don't want any be upset I just want if you're telling me that you want to be the most famous basketball trainer in the world that's rats in the gym that's walking back cuz you can't get an uber that's not kinda sorta that's not spending $4,000 on tickets on Coachella I have no problem with Coachella I've problem with you talkin that [ __ ] and not living it mm-hmm I didn't say anything for the first 15 years of my life to anybody forget about social media people like well you didn't have social me I'm like I didn't talk to anybody go talk to my high school friends college friends I didn't even talk that's real Israel cool tonight are 32 and now [ __ ] changes right yeah now you got to recalibrate for sure you actually done the

ridiculous stream that you thought for yourself yeah but I still want that still so much more in my mind I'm still trying to still wake up every morning like I'm I you know I'm not fulfilling I believe that instead of bigger and better right a bigger stinker deal a bigger instead a bigger better is there anything completely left field that you want to accomplish not a no just keep this do what I'm doing and just keep it going I get it yeah but yeah you're right sir no it's the funny thing I think a lot about that lately for myself go ahead push it oh yes I'll buy the first trainer ever to make it being inducted into the Basketball of Fame except dad's coaches there's talk about the Basketball Hall of Fame yeah why is it such [ __ ] I know this is your dream and you're gonna get it I'll tell you why I gotta get why is it [ __ ] up why is it to not have enough rigor you know this is what every fans problem is with the Hall of Fame right why is it so soft just talking about the basketball yeah cuz the other sports are good yeah that's true no this is you have a hot take on this cuz I'm [ __ ] pissed that listen I think Ben Wallace is a [ __ ] gangster like is he in the oven you see what I'm saying he's about to be and oakes not I don't know I get started like listen he manages Oakley to Oakley is in the cultural Hall of Fame facts do you know I can't like all clearly all the way and I [ __ ] love him I love him like all time but I can't love him all the way why cuz he's friends with Jordan and I can't get it out of my system I could never fully go there I'm in a very weird spot as a die-hard nineties Knicks fan with Charles Oakley because I love him with all my heart I probably used him to feel tough in high school mmm like he's all that he's been to the office couple years ago I love him as a dude I [ __ ] love everything about him but I can't [ __ ] with him all the way that's cuz he's friends with Jordan he's not [ __ ] Jordan's guy I don't give a [ __ ] I hate Jordan he's right there use your hands guy like yeah but not like hey I'm friends like what that didn't impact anything no I definitely I never felt that I'm just talking life he's a die-hard Knick fan too yeah you know or once thought that would be a reason why because he was friends never me too me too especially now all these [ __ ] all your boys all of friends I still don't like I hate when people like oh they're all friends now I'm like [ __ ] ah I I'm friends like I've punched my brother in the face on a basketball court mm-hmm I like did something sweet you know my own clothes line me I'll do anything on the court so I don't think friendship matters I'm talking just I'm pissed about it anyway nonetheless I really am I still can't deal with it god it's unbelievable how much I don't respect Knick fans that have any love towards Jordan I don't think you can be in your 40s I think it could be youngsters how old are you 34 you might just be young and I think you're young and I would say you're like if you're over 40 and I know by the way I know I'm on o island all but like this is an island of one I've never worn a pair of Jordans ever I hate a man I really do you wear Nikes yeah I do I'm where Mike a Swiss but I wear Nikes but I just I really dislike a man I really if I knew him personally like that's the one thing I've learned as my life has changed like oh this sucks now I know these guys and now I can't hate them the way I like wanna hate them mm-hmm you know like I'm scared to meet Paul Pierce cuz I loved hating Paul Pierce like this week's been the best week mm-hmm Paul Pierce getting [ __ ] on is the best but I'm sure Paul's like a good do I actually like a lot about what I know about Paul like rug like there's a question for you good what's your take on when you because this happened a few times you go your whole life you like love someone look up to someone it could be any music or

whatever and when you really get to know me you're like let down you're like zero expectation of others mm-hmm you will never Chris you'll never meet a happier [ __ ] on earth than me for one core reason I have zero expectations of human beings mmm nobody has ever let me down I never gave him a chance that's real I don't have expectations my employees don't let me down I'm paying them no craziness that is now that's a weakness as a manager because it creates entitlement and I've had to learn that over the last 25 years I've gotten better but it's crazy I've never been I knew where you're going with the question and usually cut off what I know the question is I'm trying to train myself now it's a great question and it's [ __ ] man you want to talk about something I'd love to teach kids don't expect just because somebody can drop 50 to a night you think they're a nice person just because somebody's got a fat booty on the inner you think there's sweetheart like me don't have expectations for sure right on the flip side my favorite thing on life I was like complex history doing that sneaker show and the kid like was really pumped that I was nice you saw that I love it on the flip I love over-delivering when people meet me in the wild mm-hmm yes sir I was out and about like that funny way to put it that's real that was funny yeah say what no I just because for a number of years I'm big on night walks so I get one in the morning I walk a few miles and it's just nice my mental and I'm so I used to do it anymore cuz you know a little more no I mean I might add ah now when I do the walks people would be I prickly and so normally when my mind is in like I'm like a weird state if you catch me at 1:30 and I'm in my walk and you say Brickley like I might look at you kind of crazy cuz not because of you looking at me because you're that deep I got so I want an Instagram and it got to the point where I feel like I was like freaking people out I pause I was like you know half joking half not like you seem in the street in the middle of the night and I looked at you like a ghost like I apologize and as I'm typing it someone it comes up to me and I put it on the camera thing but I yeah so yeah I get it you know what this is gonna end up with you're gonna replace that with safer places my places are the bathroom the shower and airplanes where I do that the only places where I know I can go into that place are the places where nobody can touch me that's real mm-hmm like it's unbelievable what the chemicals in my body do when I go into the bathroom a shower or when a plane takes off and nobody's boarding anymore and I'm in my spot it is unbelievably important to the operating system of Who I am right now that's real no because I [ __ ] hate the gym really like this is like you know so much of my advice now about like what to do in life is predicated on me being a terrible student and hating the gym for everybody who's listening right on the hates their job like I understand I don't understand hating your job cuz that was my great fortune of being an entrepreneur but I understand the process of disliking something that you have to do you know mm-hmm well I don't this is such a good show what uh you got you have something big coming out don't ya actually right Hillshire so yeah I

got a show on ESPN he's been network called declared it's not me getting of MBA prospects ready for the NBA Draft so mmm do on court off court you know get him ready from a skill standpoint um I'm ready mentally so much mental work do you like how much do you think from your perspective that you're like a nail salon or a haircut like I love nails what is it called and uh do you know manicures but there was something else remember they had a different room technician you're on fire bro yeah doesn't talk for [ __ ] on sonny's really [ __ ] you're near zone bro I love hairdressers and like you know manicurists and just like trainers and like cuz there's so much there your therapist a lot of time everything facts that's everything it's you know obviously I need to know what I'm doing we get in the court but do you know we're gonna form but you're also like talking through there girl trouble yes you know personal uh anything you could think of after a bad game again no if I would the girlfriend you know I mean you tell me sort of when we were hanging once of like being up super late cuz you got to watch the tape of a West Coast game and you're [ __ ] hit them but they and the some of these [ __ ] maniacs which I love about them because that's why they're winners and want to [ __ ] talk at 2:37 yeah like in the morning of like why you know why did they go three for 18 from the floor and if I don't respond I dropped the ball they won't I could lose the trust who's the best defender in basketball right now in your opinion Kawhi Leonard who's the next best give me an unusual one cuz I know you watch a lot more [ __ ] than other people yep give me up give me a one that's not exactly Beverly that's easy ah you got anything that's there were the last couple years because I meet you I know you might not Tony Allen best too easy oh I was amazing yeah the great it was

amazing give me somebody that's like I know you might not be watching film - subject being empathetic to all the things that are going on your world give me one of the last five to seven years that you think it was like that you were like geez you know what this [ __ ] guy stuff that you just don't hear getting headlights good all three of those guys I know as a casual I mean my football knowledge is much deeper my basketball knowledge well I guess this could be oh you the name is big but he doesn't get the credit I actually think the best on-ball defender in the NBA over the past five years is Kevin Durant which no one would think that but I fully understand that because he's seven feet tall legs and he moves like a guard so he can guard a point guard but then 5-man cuz he's so long I think people talk about that Steven Naismith doesn't talk about that well that doesn't get the you know that's not what people want to talk about how good of a defender I know like at this point and he's still a baby that you know there's less excitement for him but like Frank on the Nick yes super defender yeah cool I'm happy you know it's funny I the Knicks have been so bad for so long and my career took off like my career I worked all the time like not took off I was about to say that since I was 22 I've been basically even that great night 98 run I didn't fully like I was just working mmm so it was on the radio in the liquor store I think it was hard like it wasn't 94 like and football is easy for me with the Jets cuz it's Sunday so I missed nothing mmm but basketball even next year when the gardens going to be rocking backs I'm gonna be struggling to like really be in it so but the last year or two you know obviously we moved to Hudson Yards here so I'm like got the crazy Knicks seats and I'm trying to do more and just like look sports cards I mean these deer and foxes I would have known the deer and fox four years ago in the league the way I do now cuz the cards because this and I know the Knicks are coming so like my basketball game has changed dramatically of like being on it in the last 18 months and the players look up to yeah you're right and that's been really cool so really like I test I'm like watching and I'm like man Frank could be just because I remember how good of a defender Derek Harper was like there was a time when I knew everything and so like that's what went through my mind like oh [ __ ] he's like a New Age Derek Harper mm-hmm it's guilty that I know you can't stay healthy right can't stay healthy and offensively he just he's

living it yeah he is a kid that needs to get his confidence up yeah he's really young defensively though he would take on John Collins as a player yes he's very good actually so I actually make a list when the seasons done and I do like five ten guys that I'm like I want to try and I gotta train with him and he's on notice so he's um he's what's that yeah a job he's on my list of sports card investment that's that was the most loaded [ __ ] question like shut drop five g's I'm John Collins rookie cards we sue brick know this is why this is such a great game John Collins rookie cards a couple bucks but it could be 450 bucks if I miss right about where I think his game I go how much is some of those well know that we brought out those were the cream rookies are 8,000 a piece graded but like these Darren Fox ungraded are four bucks I think so like and then you can get created like that's how they go in these cases like these these Luka rookies oh that's gonna kill this uh that's Kevin McHale look at this look Luka rookie mm-hmm - put him in those cases at cost eight bucks that Luka rookies now 75 I bought I was telling everybody on social media only 30 days ago to buy him they were 40 Wow it's an interesting game because I have to be careful really start doing a better job context and I think there's a really hot market for the next two years I think people should buy and sell new stuff like the game used you mean like memorabilia that's not my game cuz there's no scale like I I'm gonna buy I bought a hundred eighty-seven Yanis rookie cards in October for 150 apiece now there's 550 and for all the sneaker hustler kids I think there's money to me like I think there's a great two three-year run here for these kids while it's two three years what's happening with the cards I don't know what if the economy collapses the first thing that goes our cards just like $4 coffee you know cards I mean nobody on earth will buy them when you're scared of my money so they go so supply and demand I think the man's about to build up but there's a lot of these cards so if the man it's like in 90s the whole collapse market of the cards that's why it happened and you got to be right lonzo's have gone down dramatically in the last two years so we could be sitting here 24 months ago I can be talking heavy about this Lonzo thing kids could go out and buy meth I don't know what it was but let's say 75 and now two years later than 25 mmm so - it was crazy you know it's what do you think about him I actually think he's really good

actually i think i yeah i actually weirdly think he like i actually that's actually probably the guy i'm most debating to go all-in on cuz i think he's super low right now and everybody's mine and I'm like here's my thing actually this is actually crazy why this is segwang and talk to me about the what is your macro take on people like Ben Simmons and Lonzo and people who like how much you would jump cannon and I don't want to put you on blast like those guys don't sure you'll be able to talk about it how much better can a human get like what's the great story in the last decade of somebody changing their form or becoming a ridiculously better jump shooter that's a great question yeah I mean it's anything Ben Simmons isn't gonna just uh all of a sudden be a knockdown shooter it's not gonna happen I think taking away from but he can do what LeBron and Jordan did in their careers which is exponentially get better for sure he can keep getting better in his shock and keep getting better too but what's scary is if he [ __ ] if he got a solid jump shot for sure he would become unbearable be a beast he's a beast to begin with yes he would be it at next for sure I really like him a lot too was like a kid like I think man I really want him to develop it well I don't actually just [ __ ] the Sixers but he would be really like that was for you Ruben you'll never convert me bro I'm a Knicks fan mm-hmm [ __ ] the Sixers and I'm like I love JJ like I love Ben I love Tobias is the best as humans but [ __ ] them the grid about that city's dope doe this to divide to a new watch how does take us fillies the best city it's dope it's a good girl yeah like New York's the best city in the world but I wish New York felt like Philly Philly's a little rugged like New York's become too Manhattan's too rich it's super rich around here you go to a game at the garden and it's kind of like yes fancy you know what he's walking the streets of those one Am's he wouldn't have done that 30 years ago no matter how sad a toughy is like New York soft true I walk around comfortable and cozy in New York now 1978 be scared fuckless out here you really has that people I were like [ __ ] facts know who's the most who's the top I want to finish this thought because I want to get this I know we have to probably wrap up because I got family stuff the show drops the show on ESPN my goal is to change these kids lives in a sense of

the after this year's series when the New York Knicks have the 9th to the NBA Draft they could pick player a or player B but player a was real quick now you're making an amazing point I'll let you do it again but the shivers in my body that just happened when you said Knicks have the 9th pick like if the Knicks don't have other 25 he's talking about I got it but then you know if that happens - shivers we should be really in a place where 2024 should be good season like I'm expecting like Pat Ewing is gonna be there mmm like if this is to me you know it's ironic I like the first three players quite a bit I do think it's that cut like I'm gonna buy a lot of basketball cards this season cuz I think it reminds me a little bit of measure you know Darko was the one that didn't work out but that rest that class got crazy with Bosh and Wade and LeBron and Melo that was crazy class these first three feel really JIT mm-hmm with news Barrett you know Barrett's game reminds me of a lot and I want to ask somebody more educated than me and just like in a weird way Michael Beasley RG Barrett's game reminds me a lot of Michael Beasley like at this time in their careers and obviously thinks about yeah I don't know mindsets and those work no you see I'm going like the guard version of Beasley for sure kind of like that yeah it's kind of interesting he's definitely thinking to be consensus perfect I would yeah the thing it's still like a you know whether the sons get it and they need a point guard or whatever but just have a talent you gave me the you be three what do you want to wrap up with everything that we discover anything interesting there's been great you gonna start collecting basketball cards yeah do it on a very sir snow I kind of want you to I really think there's something brewing is it only panini and like panini has the IP for basketball tops for baseball panini for football yeah baseball is like the place where you can make early baseball cuz you can get kids four years away you can get crazy you can buy kids for a $0. 50 that go for fifty bucks if you get Fernando Tati's jr. the basketball miner the basket yeah they're in the yes they sell them as might early carts basketball though is culture my hot take complete thesis my entire point of view on this is sneaker kids are gonna realize that's great that you want to get the Travis Scott Jordans but you're gonna get one pair and you'll make your money but if you're right about Darren Fox you can go on eBay and buy up a thousand of them for four bucks and then when he pops and they're [ __ ] 39 let's starts adding up and it's liquid it's even it's liquid as [ __ ] its eBay you go to ebay right out like its liquid as [ __ ] you go to completed items like what sells what doesn't at what price if though it's the Moke listen I've loved cards is forever for me to now be talking about them I listen I'm starting to build a good enough track record I don't talk about [ __ ] for fun I don't like to show videos like I did this morning about me passing on uber I like to show the [ __ ] where I'm like you should buy Amazon and it explodes basketball cards are gonna go through the [ __ ] roof for the next two years no Beckett is actually you know what Beckett is now it's a grating company the price guide is eBay right now bro if you really know basketball like if you know the dude from Toronto SEC what's a necessity yes zackham if you know see a curbs gonna pop last year which people did and you bought them last year compared to this year you made a fuckload if you know the [ __ ] kid and Sacramento shot gold it was his name yeah alexander's yeah I was just talking to him actually yeah if you know he's gonna pop next cuz he looks like he could be one of the guys John Collins sure like if you up yeah a finite time right like word peaks and then well I mean you wanna hear something crazy I bought those 180g honest rookies stick with this real quick and I sold ten of them to just like cuz I was like hey I bought these for a hundred eighty I'm some 10 of them for 300 a month ago and now they're 550 like the markets hot yes there's a finite time there's by the way there's a no-brainer he could have a good work year playing it for a couple years and like that cut those cards you have them there those are iconic I'm saying I'm talking to like a buying whole this is like a trade this is well it's a buy and hold if they become caught you know Kairi like like like you it become it depends on how creative but it this is what's great its merit-based it depends on how good they become like it just like their game you stuff like their value is one they're actually starts get in this mode and like heavily into the game you stuff yeah and the value of buying like a Damian Lillard now right in his game used Portland trailers what is it gonna be worth ten years from now is probably not gonna be what it's worth now ready for this that's exactly right here's how it works you have to go top 1% if you're holding forever what am i buying is LeBron rookies I'm buying LeBron rookies for 1,100 I'm buying Kobe all time stuff and then I'm speculating on under Pro Delille 'red actually to me is still a speculation because if he has one more contract that's crazy not in Portland gets on a super team and wins a championship he's under priced right like I'm trying to figure out if kimba or kairi's coming to New York and which rookie card I want to buy for the New York bump I'm not buying Leonard rookie cards cuz I think he's too not culture and no matter how great of a player is it's not gonna be supply and demand enough because people don't [ __ ] with him culturally enough and there's nothing wrong with that that's amazing he's an awesome dude I love how he leans into that and lays like self-deprecating I by Luca like crazy because he's white and if he's Larry Bird there'll be a mark I think this is just very basic [ __ ] you're right I know I'm trying to help kids make some money out here so pay attention they can be I have no stake in panini yeah I you'll appreciate this I the number one thing that would make me a ton of money right now is if Pinterest went crazy on the stock market how many times do you think I've mentioned the word Pinterest in my content in the last few years how many goose [ __ ] egg the number one currency in my life is being historically correct not any of the deals I'm in that's deep it's it's it makes sense right don't sell out I've made money I don't need to like Vito I'd love to have a piece of panini I'm trying to do [ __ ] in sports card world cuz I love it here's why in 24 months I'm gonna be not the only person talking about it in 24 like I can't wait to be courtside opening night Durant Kyrie [ __ ] the holes I on and I'm gonna have like I'm know in my pockets bring 50 brookie cards and take a selfie courtside with all the cards if you like what I'm making a prediction the way kids now rich the kid puts [ __ ] a stack of cash to his ear I'm making a prediction right now in 24 months people can be flexing holding [ __ ] luca's like this it's a prediction buy some cards I guarantee you he's gonna do it now do I kit in I'm just curious like what are we gotta go see you
