When MJ came man, it was the goat man, that's goat status man, as a two guard coming up and Mike, you know being your idol growing up and now you got an opportunity to lock it up with him and learn and get as much information off of him, he had a unique personality. Great to be around. Great to be around. Because even my second year he used to come down and practice with us all the time right, but he didn't you know every now and then he would come in and you know work out with us, kind of similar to what he did with y'all when you was on the buy cap, Jack, you know he would come down and work out with us and me and Prof used to play with him all the time and we used to talk trash to MJ all the time, but it was only certain things that I would say. And I wanted to ask you specifically because you played with Michael Jordan. And then after that I went and played in the league for a couple of years with Washington. I remember day in practice one day and I'm guarding and two straight plays that come down. Like he could dribble two times, pull up. One two dribble, pull up in my face and he's talking to me as he's doing. He's also teaching. You're doing it right. In the middle of the court he says, hey, Rick, add that to your game. Get that in your game. That's the hardest play to guard. The whole medium range game. The mid-range jump shot. Yes, sir. But then there was also another side where it was to talk and trash Michael Jordan and you know Prof would sometimes you know say a little bit of extra stuff that I wouldn't go there and I remember one time we were playing in practice right and Prof you know might have hit a shot on MJ and he was like running down court. Yeah, you can't guard me with them old ass knees. And I'm like, oh, oh, stop time out time out. You know his knee would swell up after games sometimes and he would have to get him drained. And to that point that was the nastiest thing I'd ever seen. So they come out with this big needle and they drain it in like this black tar goo looking stuff came out, you know, but he so his body was just different. I was like, oh, nah, you don't you don't you don't say that to the goat. MJ was heated and you felt it like palpably. Hate to lose. No matter what. No, I heard it felt it saw it. It just it wasn't acceptable in any form in anything. In anything. In anything. I mean he was heated to the point that when I went to my exit meeting because, you know, he was he was the president at the time. I went to my exit meeting and he was like, okay, Rip, you know, your man, your buddy, you know what I'm saying? Because he ended up trading profit that summer. He was like, oh, your man, he was like, oh, yeah, he ain't going he he out of here. He said, but you're gonna be there by you're gonna be there by yourself. You know what I'm saying? And you ain't gonna have your buddy to to co-sign and you know, you're gonna be on island by yourself. I like, look, he was still mad. He was still mad. I was like, I don't want no problems, bro. I don't want no problems at all. I'm your teammate, man. But I know the feeling. I know the feeling that it's trading my ass to. Should I got it to MJ? Mike. Yes, Mike signed the shit out of me. One day you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Oh, don't laugh. None of that. Never say never. What would you want to fuck? Wait, you wait. So niggas really talk shit to Mike. Man, let me say what happened. So I was playing in Charlotte, right? He was he he was what was he though? He was the owner of the team that you played for. How did that work out with you and Mike? Yeah, at that time I was with Golden State and I wanted to get traded and they traded me to Charlotte. Mike traded for me and he was the owner at the time. And you know, Mike is a competitive guy. He's somebody we all look up to. The first year I got there, we got to the playoffs for the first time and so MJ loved me for that alone. But when I first got there, it was kind of rocking. You know what I'm saying? I just got traded. So we got to be by somebody and he came in the locker room after the games. It's going off on us. Like we need to get our shit together, right? I made some little comment or something like that. He ain't saying that. So he came to practice the next day. Yeah, I remember, you know, back then when I was with the Charlotte Biocast, me and Mike played. Mike decided to come and play pick up against us. Who was it? Who was your starting five? Me, Raymond Felton, Gerald Wallace. Today he's in full gear. Stephen Jackson was in Gerald Wallace. We're at the veterans along with myself. Tyson Channel, shout out to all the niggas that got cooked by 51 year old Mike. Yeah, we got cooked. Obviously, we were kind of sleeping on him because he was in his early 50s. But for some reason, he still felt he was the Mike of all. And do you think if you play against some of your guys right now, do you sometimes do that or not? Could you win on one-on-ones against them? I'm pretty sure I can. So I don't want to do that and demolish their confidence. So I stay away from them. I let them think that they are good. But I'm too old to do that anyway. Of course, Stephen Jackson. Being Stephen Jackson started talking trash. And then you guys kind of went back and forth? Back on that shit. Yeah, y'all think y'all did something? Six, oh, he's talking about all his accolades. He decided to get in the mix, get in the practice, and try to stir some things up to try to get us going. And it worked. So where me and him had words going back and forth. Take my shoes off. Because, you know, he wasn't just talking to me. He was talking because everybody had the shoes off. But he had gave me a deal and all that. This shit kind of directed to me and Gerald Wallace. We the leaders of the team. You know what I'm saying? So he's going off. You have to be careful because you don't want to go hard. And I think that Stephen Jackson started that scrimmage by saying, that was the past. This is now. And our bus show, you know what? Hey, it's our bus show. Which is a mistake? Because. And Michael got furious. We'll get the talk of shit. Now he'll get serious and start busting our ass. Then they get the point we talk of shit. Well, he started trash talking to Stephen Jackson. If I didn't know anything about all Michael Jordan's accomplishments, I knew that day. OK, he told me about all the championships, everything he's done, sports, points scored. And he reminded me that I was on his team. You know what I'm saying? Look at all the shit I done. Y'all went to the, I'm just going off on his right to the point where he gets on the second team in practice. And we lose. You lying. You ain't losing 50 years. Michael, Mike, listen. This was, nigga, this was in 2010. Mike suited up. Y'all, he, whatever he had on, he came out there. Got on, got on, pushed against the guard. Whoever Jarrah Wallace was guard, then three guard, kicked him out, and got in that spot and played with the second team. My second team wasn't scrubs now. But he just made gay and niggas complex through the roof. And he scored a couple points. And to the point where he talked so much shit afterwards, he grabbed the bond with Dunk one on the way out. Yeah, the true story. Anybody that was on my Charlotte team, any came in there bust ass? Today wasn't anything other than me getting exorcised. I'm gonna take it out of context. His presence is electrified. And, you know, he's at the point where if he were gonna play eight minutes, 10 minutes, I don't think there's any chance in the world I could talk to him into that. But it's a wonderful thought. Okay, so that point, I felt that trans talking was won by him. You right, I'm on your team. You do pay my check. This is a 50, I think it was 50 or 51, killing. Well, all of us during the scrimmage and talking to Stephen Jackson, telling him, how's the leather tasting in your mouth? Every time you made a shot on his face, I mean, he was incredible. His competitiveness at that age. It was good for us. And it was good for the team around because we needed that at the time. Tell me that shit. Did you feel like shit? One thing, one thing. Dude, was you like this old motherfucker just came in and did us dirty like this and don't want to weigh out? Nah, I'm a real one. I just, what I told myself, and you can ask my problems when I got home. That's why you did go. That's why I'm wearing the shoes. Hey, Mike had to come in. See, I know what you said. You washed up now. I don't hear that shit. I thought we had him. Mike show up the next day. Take my fucking shoes off, nigga. You niggas don't deserve to play in my shit. You niggas deserve to play in something else. Fuck off, Mike. Get out. And of course he did not end up well for Steven Jackson. All in all, it was not a good career move because I got traded a year after that. So maybe he was still thinking about what they traded. I haven't spoken to Mike just like I traded. That's crazy, man. That's a hell of a joint, man. I never heard Mike came in a locker room and cooked you niggas. Right after we got his hood. You gotta be careful. You gotta be careful. But when MJ came, man, I just thought it was a blessing. I remember going back home at the first couple of games and you turned on ESPN or tone on whatever and all the highlights will be Michael Jordan. Nobody else. Nobody else. Well, not even another team. Yeah. Just went lose the draw. It was MJ. So even when we come to the game, the cameras was all on MJ and everybody else was over there. So I was like, oh, can't believe this one. I'm gonna do this one now, right? Okay, right? So I remember when he took the dribbles, got to a spot, knocked down a shot and then he was walking off because anytime MJ hit a big shot, always put the fist out. Look at the history of this game, especially when he was in Chicago. He did it in practice. Anytime he made it was about the fist. So boy, oh boy, when I see him, he made that shot. Jones the trigger. Jordan for the win. Got it. And I see them walking to the middle of the floor. I say, you know what, really? I'm getting right to the side of this a**. Listen, they ain't gonna skip over me tonight. So I put my fist right next to it. And my mind was like, all right, you know what? Somebody's gonna get this shot. And when they get this shot, they gonna say, what happened? And they ain't gonna know who made this shot. Bro. So now my kids, I got that big old poster, you know, in my beard room and my kids walk through and they say, dad, you and MJ got the same holes when it happened. I said, dad hit one of the biggest shots in my life. And MJ will come to me after the game and be like, hey, rep, I see what you're doing out there. I see what you're doing. I see that.
