00:00A different story for a different day.
00:02I just wanted to lock in with you, Jawad,
00:04about this MJ story that you have with this bet,
00:07and then we got to wrap it up,
00:08because we're coming up on an hour,
00:10and I know people are tired.
00:11Real quick, they were there.
00:13The whole team was there.
00:15So I can't go too much in specifics.
00:18You know how people are.
00:19They're weird nowadays.
00:20They're messing around a lot.
00:22Yeah, so it was, we were talking about half-court shots,
00:27and we were betting about half-court shots.
00:29I got $40 in my pocket.
00:31I was like, all right, cool.
00:32We made a bet.
00:34I hit the shot, and as he's walking off,
00:37he took the money out of his pocket
00:39and threw it on the floor.
00:39I walked off.
00:42So then, Jawad had called me over there.
00:44I see he was walking out the tunnel.
00:45He was like, take a picture with Jordan.
00:46I was like, all right, cool.
00:47He's like, damn, you gonna take my money
00:49and you wanna take a picture?
00:50He was like, you gonna take my money
00:52and you wanna take a picture?
00:53Come on, man.
00:54So I took the picture with him, but he was cool.
00:55That was the second or third time I had met him.
00:59So yeah, that was my cool MJ story,
01:01and I kept one of the $20.
01:04I had to eat, so I kept one.
