Baron Davis: Michael Jordan and LeBron, they like… People want to compare them, but their game is like you're comparing two different players that play two different positions. It's so hard. Like LeBron, we were talking about this me and D-Will, and we were saying LeBron is like Magic JOhnson, he's always been like Magic. He's been like a magic with the Jordan sh*t. But like if you watch him like, just the way he play, you watch how Magic everything is downhill. Everything is putting pressure on the defense.

Baron Davis: Jalen Brunson to me is like Allan Iverson in this era. Like nobody can guard him. No matter what you do, he going to get his shot off. He gets hot. You know, it's on Fuego and he can play to the moment.

What was the toughest crowd that you all played against during your years? Dirk Nowitzki: Well, Sacramento was tough in early 2000s, but I'm going to go with the Oracle at Oakland, the We Believe team. I hate thinking back of that year 06-07, which was my MVP year. We were the first seed. It was the first time that eight seed beat the number one seed in a seven-game series. So that building was rocking. Baron Davis made a shot from half court almost every game they had. Nelly had them locked in. Steve Nash: Nelly versus Cuban. Nowitzki: Yeah, that was the wildest probably I've seen and well deserved. They got us.

Do you feel like you guys cared more about the Dunk Contest? Nate Robinson: I mean, they just make it where it's not as cool now. I don't know why, I don't know where it went wrong. But back in the day, doing the Dunk Contest, it stamped who you were and what you were trying to bring to the table. Like, come on, man, you had guys like Michael Jordan doing the Dunk Contest when he was young. Like LeBron [James], he should have done it. Guys like Ja Morant, Zion [Williamson], why are you guys not doing what you're meant to do? You know what I'm saying? It doesn't make sense. Like, come on, Ja. You supposed to do that rookie year. Zion, you supposed to do that rookie year. Come on, bro. The best of the best. Blake Griffin, myself. I mean, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Michael Jordan, Jason Richardson, Desmond Mason, Steve Francis, Baron Davis, Dominique Wilkins, they all did it. They were dunkers, and they did the Dunk Contest. So many guys blessed the Dunk Contest and still became the player that they are today. It didn't hinder them. Even if they didn't win, they still did it.

Baron Davis: Ring culture is like a disease — it allows certain people to use their accolades as leverage, to push narratives that aren't fair. I’m not saying they’re not experts, but some folks out here are pushing stories that don’t reflect the full picture.

How much did you feel that people they felt counted you and your teammates out during the 2006-07 “We Believe” Golden State Warriors team run in the NBA Playoffs against the Dallas Mavericks? Jason Richardson: Aw man! We felt EVERY bit of that! Every bit of that, man! We had an UNBELIEVABLE fan base out there in Oakland. They were tired of losing; it was 13, 14 years without them going to the playoffs and they just had this energy about us that just… almost propelled us going into the playoffs, you know — making the playoffs first of all. And so, we understood that people counted us out. Everybody had something against them, you know? They were saying that Baron [Davis] was “injury prone”; Stack Jack (aka Stephen Jackson) was coming off the situation in Detroit with the ‘Malice in the Palace’; they had me as a good player that’s getting numbers on a bad team… There were just so many things that we had that we wanted to prove people wrong and I think we put all of that aside and we played for each other and the only thing that we wanted to do was like, Hey we gonna let you know that one: We’re a good team and we’re good players…

And I think a lot of that is due sometimes to having trainers." @Money23Green reflects on what LeBron said about youth trainers vs. real hoopers — and how the game’s roots are fading.
