00:00We almost there. Baby A.J.E. is on the way. Hopefully we have a March baby, not April.
00:23He hates it. He hates my belly. So I walk around and torture him looking like this. And then at night when she kicking, I put my stomach on his back and she kicks him. And he gets annoyed because he'll be like, how do I supposed to sleep? But I think he's excited.
00:45I try to do as much as I can, like, with him. I'm spending these last days to let him know, like, it's not just gonna be me and you no more. We added a new addition.
01:00I feel like the maturity level is definitely gonna rise. We're gonna see a different as far as home life and court life when the baby gets here.
01:09I got a baby on the way now. So, you know, I gotta grow up a little bit. But I feel like I'm still a kid. I still don't care about nothing. Still the same way.
01:18They said the baby's gonna be here in the next three weeks or something. So, yeah, I'm super excited. Hopefully it's not on the game day.
01:25That's a good wind.
01:48Oh, my God. I forgot to send you this thing. This little kid. It is so funny. I love this kid.
02:01I love this kid. Look.
02:10No ma'am. No ma'am, no ham, no turkey.
02:12No ma'am, no ham, no turkey.
02:14It's about the 20th. I actually made it on something.
02:1920 straight. So it's pretty cool.
02:22Do you hate that you didn't make it that first year? It's kind of...
02:24Yeah, I hate it. I definitely hate it.
02:26I think my first moment at different Colorado. It felt like I was doing something right. I was appreciated for what I was doing. And I was gonna be out there with guys that I looked up to for so long. Like Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Shaq.
02:44And I was like out there to let them know that I belong. Like I belong out here with Jordan.
02:49And then like back then, 21 years ago or 20 years ago, whatever that was, like we wanted to go to every single All-Star Park. Every single one. Every single thing. We wanted to do everything.
03:03I don't want to do shit now. I want to ask you and my family, you and my wife.
03:09You know, this one actually could be my last one. Who knows? You don't know what it's all. So, you know, the torch always has to be fast.
03:18Pricey.
03:19I used to run the block, now I'm corporate. Hopping out, you know, with sun when the doors lift.
03:25Whole squad hide the burners.
03:27All right, two-time All-Star.
03:29That is a little different. Two-time All-Star Anthony Edwards.
03:33Hey, man. Vacation has started, fellas.
03:35Hey, real talk, bro. We're a long way from the goddamn Westside, though.
03:38Being named an All-Star is super dope. I actually got picked to come to the game the first time.
03:42Well, we got a two-hour play.
03:44Two hours in the game!
03:46So, it's my first real-time making it, so I'm super excited to get there.
03:50When I first heard he was gonna be an All-Star, I'm like, what did you, I mean, what did you want?
03:56I mean, what did you expect?
03:58Cost money.
04:00That's two, three, four.
04:02That shit might not get in.
04:04Your memory can't be that, we need to talk, hold on, bro. Hold on, hold on.
04:09All right, how many I got, how many I got left?
04:11Boy, you got five left.

04:31All-Star weekend, man. There's nothing like it.
04:34Shout!
04:35It's a check and a comeback by the...
04:37It's something that, as a kid, when you, if you watch basketball and you're like, that is a moment that I want to be out there with the best players in the world, on the same floor, on the same court, during the same weekend.
04:48And this is what the crowd's been waiting for.
04:51That is unbelievable.
04:52For the money!
04:53Yo!
04:54Look at the air, look at the hang time, look at the flying motion.
04:57Three-pointer!
04:58Yes!
04:59Oh, my!
05:00That's, that's where you wanted to be.
05:02Pirison down the lane, scooping it in!
05:05It's one of those times where you know everybody's going to step out.
05:08You're going to have the best of the best of the best NBA players.
05:11There's going to be star-studded celebrities.
05:13There's going to be entertainers, actors, actresses.
05:16It's just one of those gatherings where you know it's going to be the spot to be.
05:20I want to be all NBA All-Stars.
05:23Coming from middle school basketball to high school basketball, you're not even thinking about, like, I can be amongst the best players in the league.
05:30I can be in the locker room with LeBron James, Steph Curry, and KD when they finna get ready to retire or not too many years from, like, I was in the locker room with them boys.
05:39So, super dope, for sure.
05:44Tatum is really popular today, but I'm sorry to break the bad news, we are completely out.
05:49All out of Tatum, KD?
05:51Yeah, it's been, he's been really popular.
05:54My first All-Star, I was so nervous.
05:58Like, I'm still very happy to be here.
06:01Gotten to the point where I know exactly what to expect.
06:04I know how it's going to be.
06:06I'm excited.
06:07This year, I didn't make All-Star, it is what it is.
06:14When I found out I didn't make the cut, you know, at the end of the day, there was a lot of good things that happened after that, and we took a big family vacation.
06:29Having done that in a long time with my wife and my kids, you know, and could really experience it.
06:36How do I normally handle this appointment?
06:39People who know me, it just kind of lights a fire in me.
06:45Having done that in a long time with my wife and my kids, you know, and could really experience
06:52it.
06:53How do I normally handle this appointment?
07:04People who know me, it just kind of lights a fire in me and I just want to go out and
07:10work harder.
07:11Work harder, kind of put the blame on myself.
07:13I always think I could do more.
07:16Family and friends say it's not always your fault or it isn't your fault, you know, but
07:20as a competitor, being one of the leaders on the team, you kind of always kind of want
07:25to blame yourself in some sort of way because, you know, you just have to be better.
07:29You want to get in the pool?
07:32Say, mami guapa.
07:33Mami guapa.
07:34Louder, louder.
07:35Mami guapa!
07:36Yay!
07:37Mwah!
07:38I kind of understand my father way more than my father.
07:42way more now.
07:43Trying to balance the life of a family and work and trying to be as present as you can.
07:50Four, three, two, one, let's go!
07:57My able to turn basketball off during a vacation?
08:00Hell yes.
08:01I could totally turn it off, forget about it and just focus on the family.
08:07I didn't make the cut and nothing's going to change.
08:14You know, my goal is to be consistent and help my team win, you know.
08:18My goal is just to get everyone as competitive, as locked in, and take every little thing serious.
08:23You know, and then at the end of the day you're going to put yourself in the best position to win games.

10:45Voted as a starter.
10:46Our first all-star game.
10:47I was extremely happy to be a part of it.
10:49And, uh, I spent a lot of years in the game.
10:58And I remember that moment being out there, you know, it was just super cool
11:05Any advice you'd have for LeBron now he's doing a great job
11:08I've been impressed with him. He's very mature extremely talented and the league's in good shape in the future
11:14That's what it watch this
11:28You know, you know, we did it. It's always fun and humbling to be a part of this weekend man

12:18Nah, you gotta stop cooking that though, bro. For real, bro. We ain't trying to double-team you no more, bro
12:22And my coach, my coach was like, can you shoot anymore?
12:24Mark, this back screen for KD. Okay, don't be on the line. Yeah, for the line. Just be a little bit deeper
12:30All right, let's go, let's go. Let's go, man. Win. One, two, three. Win.
12:33LeBron's 20th all-star game, the most ever at 39 years old
12:40Tatum, the MVP of the all-star game a year ago, and that's how the scoring starts
12:45Get an easy one. Get a layup. Yeah, and get a layup, man
12:51Great pass
12:53You did it, David. I just checked in
13:01Uh-oh, uh-oh
13:05Oh, it's going to coast
13:08He's still got it at age 39. Hey, you know better. Hey, it ain't the takeoff. It's the landing now
13:13I can get up that motherfucker. It's my landing
13:16You're running up there like you're morning. I know, right? Hey, it ain't the takeoff. It's the landing. Bill, what's up, baby?
13:25Yep, it was uh, it was me
13:28Will Chamberlain
13:31Bob Cousy
13:34Yeah
13:36Dr. J, the guy who was talking before, yeah, that was my first all-star game back in uh, 68, I think
13:42Two hundred and five points. That's the record. Dames shooting from half-court as well
13:5350 feet
13:57Yeah
14:00Throw it in the crowd
14:05Successful weekend and uh, I'm ready to get to this last part of the season
14:10Let's see if we can make another push like we did last year
14:12I'll see y'all
14:15My all-star hit is like two-thirds of the season
14:19Right after all-star, it's like
14:21It's sprint time like it's like literally like go time and like this either make or break the rest of the season
14:26So, um, you have to be ready right after all-star to get going
14:30Catching a wave catching a high streak who's playing the best leading to the playoffs
14:37Can catapult you some to some things that if you wasn't winning
14:41No matter what your record was previously to that
14:44To put you in a position where you can use that as like momentum
14:48Oh, and momentum is a huge thing in sports
14:52You can ride the wave of momentum. It can change some things no matter if you're the underdog or not
14:57Right after also break all of my teammates. They really need me to be a lot better. I want to always answer to that call
15:19Jimmy, this is Ram, it's Ram, it's Ram, it's Ram. What's up, man, it's Ram, it's Ram, it's Ram, it's the coach, it's the coach
15:29But I could care less about basketball right now. I don't care
15:32Two
15:37Two for three
15:38Yeah, I work out. Yes, I train because I love to do it and it takes my mind off of my dad
15:46For that moment, I'm lost in the game, in the art, in getting better
15:54But as soon as that ball's done bouncing and I'm back home
15:59Like it'll all settle in
16:0414. Yeah, I got you back. 13, 14
16:09Man, it um, it sucks to hurt
16:12It sucks to lose people
16:23They expect you to be superhuman, which is, you know, it's a thing in itself, but
16:32I'm very much human and I'm hurting right now as we speak and I hate talking about it
16:38I hate it, but um, here we are
16:44So coming out of all-star break when it comes to Jimmy Butler
16:48He almost starts to rev up where you can start to see him sprinkle a little triple-double here a little double-double there
16:54Second of a three-game homestand for the bells and also the second of a back-to-back set
16:59As they face for the first time this season for the miami heats
17:04Miami they're in a desperate spot they want to get the top six in the eastern conference
17:08So right now seventh over in the east, so they're playing for their playoff lives as well
17:18Come here
17:18There's some players that just know when to turn it on they know when the moment's big
17:25You on pace?
17:27It's lost. Jose lost it
17:29Unforced air butler will go the distance and get the roll
17:34You can just literally flip the switch and all of a sudden now you're averaging more points more assists more rebounds everything goes up
17:41Oh
17:44On the switch
17:46Buffer on the step through the easy one and he got the tap and the bomb give me buckler blocked away by Jonas, but he got it right back
17:54Yes, and
17:56Buffer from behind must have gotten a piece of it
17:59Tried to hammer it martin goes to
18:03Looking for the three-point flag looking for jimmy buffer on the left easy seven-point game
18:08I
18:11When your best is needed you got to show up
18:15And he's held up by kevin love
18:20Oh, this is jimmy butler and nagy yeah, and I don't think you really understand until you understand
18:26the athletes are human too
18:29That we hurt and we cry and we grieve and we're angry
18:33Something's going on in our life and you can't see it just like we don't understand what's going on in your life either
18:40But that doesn't make us a bad person for being human
18:45So finally the two teams separated
18:47On the altercation
18:51Butler would be ejected
18:54As tired as I am
18:57I still know why I want to win now
18:59Because I want my dad to be able to say that I was a champion that I was the best
19:04It's gonna be for a reason
19:07Everything is for a reason
19:11I like it
19:13Today's not about me though

22:06That's so great
22:08How are you feeling?
22:10Pressure
22:10Pressure
22:11Okay
22:12Painful contractions or are you in pain?
22:14My stomach hurt or when this hurts
22:16Yeah it's now it's in my bag
22:17It's in your bag
22:18You're getting nervous
22:19I know
22:20You know what I know
22:23Don't put a lot I'm getting nervous
22:24It's okay to be nervous
22:26I think it's getting nervous
22:28I bet
22:32Right at 34 that's perfect
22:34Can you believe we've come this far?
22:40No
22:40You've been around in there
22:54Your kid's head down
22:56She's head down?
22:56She's head down
22:57I think though this is why you're feeling so much pressure is because that head's pretty low
23:06Well what if I was to have contractions of going to labor?
23:09We'll just have to play it by ear which is really scary for both of you
23:14Before then let's just like be cool
23:17Okay
23:21If it's on a game day what does that look like?
23:23I gotta miss the game
23:24And I don't want to miss the game but if it's on a game day
23:30Gotta go
23:38Good evening and welcome to crypto.com arena and the lakers taking on the denver nuggets
23:44These games are huge for these two teams as denver just a game out of the top spot
23:50The lakers currently 10th should only three back up the sixth spot
23:55We're gonna bring you some history here tonight when he scores his ninth point
24:00LeBron will be the first ever
24:02NBA player to score 40 000 points in his career
24:06So what's going on today?
24:07A little bit bigger deal than I thought it would be I see
24:10Five NBA championship titles are eclipsing 40 000 points
24:14I'd much rather win more championships than have a scoring
24:16scoring title records like that but embrace it appreciate it yep
24:23Don't take it for granted the other place is beautiful sport
24:26It wasn't like I was breaking a record because I had done that the year before
24:30LeBron James a shot in history
24:35The NBA's all-time scoring record now belongs to LeBron James
24:43But I started to kind of get a sense of it was something that's never been done before
24:47Well my son's in yeah let's go boy your biggest supporter
25:06Just a little bit around not much
25:16I'll let him figure it out on his own when he wants
25:20Wants help or ask me for help then I give him advice but
25:23I'll let him figure out on his own I've always done that I get my little points from time to time when I'm there
25:28I'll let him figure it out on his own
25:38Los Angeles Lakers led by LeBron James who my guess is he would like to get
25:43the nine points quickly get it over with
25:46and start concentrating on what is a very important game for the LA Lakers
25:51Just a nice extra buzz in the building tonight
25:57You did it for 300 games
25:59I know you did it for 300 games
26:01You're gonna stop dude you're going
26:03I'll get to hit five of their first nine shot won't go Davis grabs the rebound
26:10James drives goes down the leg layup is good
26:16That was smooth as
26:17Fuck
26:19Left side Hachimori now to LeBron left corner one-on-one against Jokic she's a three over Jokic and Barry
26:26So now five points for LeBron James four left to go to 42 brother pushing forward it right now
26:35How is he moving like that man?
26:38He has some he has some of that space jam juice
26:42O'Brien down the middle powers up
26:49James hits that one now too shy of 40 000
26:53Why is he gonna do something crazy?
26:55LeBron behind the three-point line guarded by Michael Porter
26:59A lot of the fans standing up they have their camera phones ready
27:03LeBron dribbles at Porter sizes him up 360 spin to the rim
27:08There it is
27:10It's 40 000 for LeBron James
27:12The NBA's all-time leading scorer with another milestone
27:17As the legend of LeBron continues to grow
27:20LeBron James has become the first and only player
27:23In NBA history with 40 000 career points
27:32Ready to get back to live action
27:35Jackson gets in a lane left-handed too strong off the glass and the lakers come the other way
27:41Reeves finds some room
27:42I'm wide open
27:46Murray sees the double team gets away from that throws it up and now Watson throws it down
27:52And this is what the Nuggets do they let you hang around for three quarters and then they step on the gas in the fourth
27:58Go get your back door holiday throws it down
28:02Yeah, that's gonna do it the Denver Nuggets beat the Lakers for the third time
28:07Yeah, boy stay healthy
28:10You guys are breaking records every time you break a record we lose every time bro every fucking time this is disgusting
28:18It's not a record as long as you tell us when it's your last game that's the last
28:21I'm not telling nobody
28:24I'm not telling nobody nobody know I just won't show up to work the next day
28:30Nobody's gonna know
28:31He get 45
28:35If he get 46 then he might as well go to get 50
28:38I love he wants to be in 50, but that's tough
28:43That's tough. That's a lot of buckets play this game at this highest level. I mean
28:48Just think back to when I was a kid and grew up watching the NBA wanting to be a part of this league
28:55Watching all the greats knowing
28:58Some of the things that the greats did in this league in order to become like
29:02you know forever known and
29:04Some of the shit don't even it don't even make sense i'm gonna be honest
29:10Don't even feel real
29:12It's like i'm living in a dream
29:17Really be tripping sometimes
29:22Man
29:23March 2nd
29:24Yeah, march 2nd 2024 the first player ever to score 40 000 points
29:29It's pretty cool, man. It's pretty cool. I just wanna get home get out of this shit
29:33Put some shorts and a t-shirt on drink some wine
29:37Relax
29:38That's it
29:39I've never set out a record goal
29:42On things like that in my in my career
29:45I've had a goal of like winning rookie of the year being the mvp of the league
29:49Winning a championship making all-stars
29:52I want a game
29:53I'm starving you ain't that I'm starving too
29:57Hopefully being the greatest ever played the game
29:59Like those are some of the goals that I had I never set out like
30:03Scoring records
30:05Or things of that nature is just kind of
30:08Organically happen
30:10I don't think no one's gonna beat it because i've seen a lot of players like
30:15Have like a lot of points in their games in any everything but like

30:35To be there and experience that with him
