Because thats like, im wearing the big suits at the end of the season. Jimmy big suits. Who gives a [ bleep ] right . I fit in a big suit. Jimmy no, you look great in any suit, please but also this season, the only weapons used are bb guns [ laughter ] red ryder jimmy red ryders, yeah i never had a bb gun i had an air gun that would make the sound of a bb gun, nothing would come out of it oh, really .

Jimmy first off, i want to congrats on a great season i got to say, as great as you were on the court what you did this season off the court as president of the Nba Players Association is even more impressive people might not realize this, but you played a giant role in actually making the nba bubble happen i played a role it was a lot of people that helped with coming up with it. But it was a lot it was a lot of phone calls that had to happen jimmy yeah a lot of hard conversation amongst us players, right . Because you give not only covid but then social justice. Right . When george floyd and everything occurred we were trying to decide as players, should we play or should we stay in our communities and make sure that our families are well taken care of and all these things so when we made that decision to go down and play, i was proud of our players jimmy the one thing i thought was so moving, and actually really did kind of shake everyone, was after the shooting of jacob blake. You along with the rest of the players decided to boycott that evenings playoff game all the games. And you held a meeting that night for every player in the bubble i also heard a rumor that you guys maybe got a phone call from president barack obama . Former president barack obama . I actually reached out to him. And hes actually been just sort of like a big brother in all different types of situations so this situation was no different. Just gave some insight, you know just some unbelievable insight and wisdom that probably only he can give, you know. Jimmy yeah i heard that he had a Birthday Party once, i think it was his 49th birthday, and had a bunch of his favorite nba superstars he always tells this story, dont believe it, jimmy, but go ahead. Jimmy let me tell you what i heard, im just saying it might not be true he had a pickup basketball game you were nice enough to play with him is that true so far . Keep going. Keep going jimmy then the story i hear is that obama crossed you over so bad that you actually fell down see, its a whole lot of cat. That is exactly what did not happen he did a crossover. He did a crossover. I didnt fall. But it was so much secret service in there, man. If i would have stole that ball from that man, aint no telling what would have happened to me [ laughter ] you know so jimmy youre just being nice youre being respectful. Of course, of course. The fact that hes out of office now, i want to see what this is, i want to see what his game is now. Jimmy no, dont do it, dont do it. We play golf occasionally next time i see him, im just going to go ahead and check up, check up on site jimmy i want to talk to you about something amazing that youre doing with your pals. Carmelo anthony, who, gosh, we got to know when he was here in new york, and dwyane wade we love you started something called the social change fund can you tell us about this yeah, man so its amazing. Im sure, jimmy, you like in group chats and you got friends that you talk to all the time. For us, weve been, you know, in the league for a long time, and we have our own respective foundations, and we do our own work and what we decided during quarantine is that we wanted to start a fund and we wanted to do it together you know, as as athletes, you know, they always say, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together we realized that if we come together with this fund, and we have other people michael strahan, donovan mitchell, Candace Parker so many other athletes who are joining with us in this cause jimmy before you go, chris, again, thanks again so much for coming on. I want to talk to you about the upcoming season. Youre under contract with the Oklahoma City thunder, but theres some chatter this week that you might get traded possibly to the phoenix suns now when you hear these rumors, what goes what goes through your mind . Man, im going into year 16 right . So i heard about every rumor that you could possibly hear jimmy yeah you know, you learn to control what you can control im training, getting ready for the season if something happens, it will. If not, you know, i love being in oklahoma with our team. We actually just got a new coach yesterday. Yesterday. So, you know jimmy my gosh. The league is always constantly changing. Jimmy im just saying, you dont look too bad in a knicks jersey take a look at this. This looks not bad. Im just saying. Jimmy, i dont know you know probably more than i do jimmy oh my gosh if you come even close to the knicks, i want you to cohost the tonight show with me that would be something.
