“You Better Not Smell Like This Again” – UD Shares Untold Wade & Shaq Story

What I say about that team is that team always had talent but we just didn’t know how it was going to come together that was a time where in the NBA a lot of NBA guys was making money by doing parties in different cities so when we

Land in the city Antoine Walker got a party Shaq got a party Dwayne got a party Gary pton got a party your first team all party yeah and I’m going to all FK oh my oh I’m going to everybody party wow I gota be a good teammate you do

Gotta be a good te nobody you know what that’s that’s called sacrifice ex if I go to one guy’s party and not the other guy’s party I look I’m sh yeah you’re [ __ ] so with that team right there the good thing about that team is that you know I’m saying people don’t

Understand is part of this is connection oh for sure part of this is connection you got a connected group of guys that love playing with each other that actually give a [ __ ] about each other off the basketball court then that translate to to being on the basketball

Court so the one thing we did with that team is we spent a lot of time together when we weren’t playing we were partying but we were still together I remember one time in Atlanta R called a timeout man and and he gets us in the Huddle and he’s about to drop

A play he just drops the pen and say this is ridiculous this has to stop so everybody looking around say I’m G start giving out Pui playing Under the Influence one mother one you one one more of you [ __ ] coming here smelling like this I’m going start

Handing out pu from playing Under the Influence oh you get a Pui be crazy so with that being said the one thing we did with that team was we could connected so actually the weird thing was when we got to the playoffs we probably were the most connected group

Of guys in that locker room you got to understand where we came from being down to Dallas and what we had to overcome that’s connection we probably weren’t better than Dallas they might have had a little more Talent was Dirk more talented to me for sure but were we a

More connected group were we a tougher group did we have more grit I think that’s where we were able to take that series it’s Pui pu playing under the influence that’s true Star Killer was burping in the HUD I was like damn you get hit with a Pui that’s nuts

Man all right so 2006 you win it uh let’s talk about which Championship was your favorite though because you come back and then you we went back to back we joined the team you got the big three on there and the little 12 mhm we were

Part of the little 12 yeah we we would probably so which Championship to me you know which was your favorite and why man the first yeah the first is always going to be my favorite just because of everything I had to overcome coming from overseas um you know like I said before

I even set foot on the basketball court there was an article written by Dan lebatard I love you Dan but you tried me saying that shq tried Dan tried me Dan I love you but you tried me saying that Shaq could never win with a power forward 67

6667 now M you’re six seven and a half anyway yeah but the [ __ ] just won with Travis Knight so what the [ __ ] is you talking about what the is you talking about he just won with Travis Knight you gonna single me out I kick Travis Knight ass seven

Days a week and twice on Sunday why you do it twice on Sunday cuz that just felt like it yeah I just felt sound better yeah does sound better so like for that just right there instantly and you see how I am I don’t I I have not forgot that [ __ ] what [ __ ]

Don’t understand is you tell me I can’t I’ll show you I can that’s right that’s right you know what I’m saying so that was right there instantly love but he tried mom got I love his mom I love his dad I love poy I love his show yeah it’s

All the time but Dan tried me so instantly I already had I already had I was already motivated I already was fired up I already had something to prove and then you understand the type of playoff run that Dirk had oh man he were body bagging mother in playf that

Year oh man it was hard he was you see he ran through OKC he ran through San Antonio I mean he was killing my now with that being said got one of my boys over here so understand where I come from yeah if I let DK do me what he did

To them other people what going happen my boys going to let me hear about it they ain’t going to let me sleep they going to let me know they going to be quiet that German to your ass up that that to your ass up boy and they gonna

Be on me you know what I’m saying so understand where I come from man it’s a lot that was riding on that man and once I got my opportunity like I tell all these guys man once you get your opportunity man nobody cares what happened before that nobody cares

Whatever you’re not ready nobody cares what you’re going through personally you have to be ready stay ready so you don’t have to get ready no dwade was and we’re going to talk about that because I I remember that series unable yes so he was always really

Really good but that kind of was just coming out in my opinion on that stage talk about him in that series and and what what happened there cuz that was unbelievable first of all people don’t understand that night before we actually won the series yeah me and D way didn’t

Get much sleep okay not partying not this time okay not this time explain we just couldn’t sleep man you know what I’m saying it was just one of those things where where where we just couldn’t sleep but you know what I will say about Dwayne is I had a homeboy my

Homeboy dra shout out dup D that told me long time ago man y’ got this dude from Marquette that got a triple double against Kentucky Y and he’s pretty good y I had never met Dwayne where people don’t I came from overseas to come back

To be he came back the same year though so that summer when I was working out and me and Dwayne spent that whole summer together you know what I’m saying working out um he was in Miami for the first time never really got away from

Home so I was like yo come with me I got you we going to roll we going to do this we going to do that so I had an opportunity firsthand to see how good Dwayne really was so our days at that time was we would get up in the morning

We would run at the track we would head from the track to the arena we would lift weights we would shoot and go through our basketball workout we would eat lunch we would come back and shoot again later and then we would play pickup at Overtown youth center and

That’s how me and Dwayne spent that whole summer you know what I’m saying so we got a chance to grow together you know what I’m saying and connect like that so with him I always understood how talented he was you know what I’m saying now coming into that first year people

Don’t understand way had to run the point he had never ran the point before so when he came into that the league of first year he had the ball in his hands a lot you know what I’m saying his natural instinct is to go go get it he

Was going so he was going to get it you know what I’m saying and rightfully so he had the talent so we just followed we understood we had something special you know what I’m saying and um it was my job to make sure that he stayed safe and

Healthy it’s my job to make sure he stayed safe and healthy he did a good job yeah you feel me so you go through both phases of it right you see coach SPO you see coach rally mhm give me the difference in their coaching Styles what

It was like I mean obviously to me being there the little bit that I was in in Miami and being a part of it it still had that feel of rils but coach SPO to me was didn’t get the credit he deserved either yeah right so tell me the

Difference in their coaching Styles actually on the on on the floor and the clipboard Open Door um probably just the way they communicate with you m you allow to go in R’s office and R might tell you get the [ __ ] out my office yeah the godfather has you would you go

And SPO off office and SP going to hear you out and then he’ll tell you get the [ __ ] out of his office no he might he going tell you get the [ __ ] out of his office he going to hear you out and then he go he’ll probably follow like we’ll

Talk about it we’ll get back we’ll try to find a happy medium I’ll meet you in the middle um you know we we’ll figure it out yeah listen do you remember where you so you don’t remember Doak love Michael Doak man Michael Doak man we had

We one time one time we had lost by four games in a row and R walks in practice and tells all the coaches to leave he sits us down on the wall and he about he cusses us and motherfucks us for about 10 minutes and he says if anybody

Have any issues you come see me after this [ __ ] meeting soon as we leave the meeting dolak walks in his office oh God we go downstairs cuz practice is over do comes downstairs I say hey doly what he say told me to get the [ __ ] out of his

Office all right so with that being said understood man Rous ain’t with that [ __ ] SPO might let you get that [ __ ] out he going to let it go one end out the other SP understands like with players nowadays you know what I’m saying you got to play the you got to play the

Middle game you know what I’m saying RS is either this this is what we doing and if it ain’t for you get the [ __ ] out my office so we so we fast forward that um you win those two young World Championships you end up with three championships unbelievable yeah so you

Have 20 year career Jersey going up everything’s in place talk about working into your last game of your career what was your mindset going into that obviously I touched on at the beginning like you know you get mad at me every time I tell you I didn’t see the [ __ ]

Coming what the [ __ ] you thought I was going to do coach no what did you see in your in your mind you [ __ ] coach but the reality of the situation guy is that it’s the last game kill you thought I was going to let that [ __ ] ride

They had to dust the [ __ ] off though it’s been a minute that’s I’m play every day I know you play every day but there’s a difference between playing every day and then breathing out there on that [ __ ] Court yeah you’re right all right and so you go out there

In what 25 minutes have 24 points something damn right Elite K I got a clip yeah I know bro Hey listen why is he beating me up for cuz man I’m your homie you supposed to be on my side I am on your side my kids went my kids even

Want some money on that [ __ ] they bet for you these little apps and [ __ ] out here that they got these little shits people said I was only going to score like Five Points what the [ __ ] of course my kids took that bet of course they took that [ __ ]

Bet if they wouldn’t they would have needed another place to [ __ ] sleep so so your kids win money yeah it’s unbelievable but talk me about like going into that game your mindset you know it’s your last one like nervous here’s the deal and this this is where I have an you should

Where where most people don’t understand is in our in our line of work in our business right very few people get to pick their last day yeah yeah right so like everyone asked how was my last game I didn’t know it was going to be my last

Game yeah like I didn’t think I wanted to play again when I got done cuz my kids were going but I didn’t know for sure so I didn’t get to go in that game like okay and have you know team roll me out there and do what you did which is

Unbelievable uh you know for you to be able to do that so you going into that talk to me about that and what it was like and then walking off that [ __ ] for the last time I was nervous the night before yeah you know know what I’m saying I was nervous the

Night before but what people you know don’t understand is with us and they always talk about how much I give to the younger guys and how you know what I’m saying I help them those guys help me as well every day I’m playing one onone every day I’m playing two on two every

Day I’m in some kind of drill you know what I’m saying and being a part of practice and competition so you know as much as I’m prepping those guys I’m prepping myself as well so for me you know the only thing I had to worry about was my conditioning I didn’t have to

Worry about getting a rhythm I didn’t have to worry about how I would feel on the basketball court cuz I been playing every day you know what I’m saying so um I was nervous you know what I’m saying just just because it’s my last game I

Wanted to go out the right way I wanted to go out with a bang I wanted to put on a good show for everybody um but you know as far as the preparation and stepping into it man I got to shout out my teammates you know what I’m saying

Cuz as much as I help them they help me as Well
