00:00I did not expect at the start of this year to be going on a podcast with you and talking
00:04about how
00:05Deontay Banks is in their top five for MVPs. It's great for everybody. It's great for Joe Shane
00:10and the scouts who drafted him that high. It's great for the people in the building. It's great
00:14for Deontay Banks. There's new coaching. It's great for everybody. It's just terrific and
00:19doesn't happen as much because maybe the player can't do it or teams just don't want to wait that
00:24long. The player in me is looking at when everyone's like, what got into Banks? What got
00:29into him? It's two things. Pride. You never want to click on the TV or click on a radio series
00:34XM or
00:35whatnot and everyone's talking about, oh, how you're a bust. You don't care. Everyone's calling you out.
00:40You don't want to hear that. That can only go for so long. You can only turn the TV off
00:44for so long.
00:45One, I feel like the pride. Two, you're looking at the money they gave Paulson and Debo and you're
00:51like, that should be my check. With that two years, 40 something million dollars or whatever that deal
00:57was, that should be my check.
