00:00Uh, John, another part of this, because there's so many parts of it, is the Kawhi part of this, okay?
00:06Because Kawhi, Kawhi basically walks out of this free.
00:11He has to pay, he has to pay $700,000, okay, a game check or two, go ahead.
00:16And he gets to probably play for the Toronto Raptors, doesn't get suspended, contract doesn't get voided, none of that
00:22stuff.
00:23What do you think?
00:25I, listen, Kawhi had to have a fall guy, okay?
00:30He had to have a, he had to have an interpreter, okay?
00:35Uncle Dennis fell on the grenade.
00:37That's the easiest way to explain all this.
00:39He had Uncle Dennis go in there and say, hey man, listen, you go in there and you tell them
00:43it was all you.
00:44You handle my business operations.
00:46All I do is play basketball.
00:48And if you've ever seen his public persona, again, I kind of know him personally.
00:52But if you don't know him, you would believe that somebody else handles all this.
00:57I don't talk to nobody.
00:58I play basketball.
01:00I take care of my family.
01:01And that's what I do.
01:03And Uncle Dennis handles all the business.
01:05He tells me how much.
01:06I tell him yes or no.
01:08And that's it.
01:09That's all I know.
01:10I don't negotiate any of this.
01:12Uncle Dennis does.
01:13Whatever gets asked for extra, he's my representation.
01:16He tries to get me what he thinks operates best.
01:19I just play basketball.
01:21And that's what Uncle Dennis went in there and said, hey, man, this is all on me.
01:25You know, Kawhi knew none of this.
01:27I was just felt like I was doing my job.
01:30And he caught the hammer, too.
01:32And I guarantee you, Uncle Dennis is all right.
01:37This is the best outcome for Kawhi.
01:39By a mile.
01:40Oh, absolutely.
01:40By far.
01:41By a mile.
01:42By far.
01:43Because look at in his statement through his new agent, because he let go of Uncle Dennis earlier in the
01:49summer.
01:51He said, like, some things that I accept full responsibility for lapses in judgment, not by himself, but by people
02:00within my inner circle.
02:01Correct.
02:02I regret the distraction the situation has caused the fans and my family.
02:05Now, throughout the season, even going back to last media day, he's been like, I don't know what's going on.
02:10Like, oh, my people made the decisions.
02:12Like, that's, I'm paraphrasing, but that's kind of what his sentiment was.
02:16And, you know, now we're getting this statement and it's like, yeah, somebody within.
02:22But if someone's in your inner circle, John, doesn't that mean that you would probably know something about it?
02:30Well, again, if you're going to tell me Ipe goes to prison, you know, Tani goes on to be World
02:40Series champion and MVP, Uncle Dennis can take the fall, buddy.
02:44Sorry.
02:46You got to have a fall guy.
02:48And when you're Kawhi Leonard, you have a fall guy.
02:52Yeah, he knew.
02:53Let's not be crazy now.
02:54Okay, thank you.
02:54Let's not be crazy.
02:55Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
02:56Let's not be naive.
02:58Of course he knew.
02:59He loves money.
03:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:02He loves money.
03:04Who doesn't?
03:04Who doesn't?
03:05If you don't think he knew, then you are putting your head in the sand.
03:10Okay?
03:10He did know.
03:12But the whole point of Uncle Dennis is to take the blame for things he doesn't want to take the
03:18blame for.
03:18Uncle Dennis is the business shield when something goes wrong.
03:22That's what he's there for.
03:25Period.
03:26End of story.
03:27This is like having a rapper.
03:28The rapper has somebody with him that's got that thang on him.
03:31So if you get out of line, pew, pew, the rapper doesn't go to jail.
03:37Because guess what?
03:38That's why you here.
03:39Okay?
03:40If I'm an athlete, I go out to the club with the homies, I get into a scuffle.
03:45I'm not fighting nobody.
03:46That's why y'all here.
03:50Like, you got to do your job, buddy.
03:52You got to do your job.
03:54And Uncle Dennis did his job.
03:56Uncle Dennis ain't out the family.
03:57They ain't like, he can't come to Thanksgiving.
03:59He can't come to Christmas.
04:01Uncle Dennis is going to have a nice present under the tree from Kawhi.
04:05Because this ain't a family.
04:07Hell yeah!
04:08You know how much money Uncle Dennis has gotten Kawhi?
04:11Did you not read how much money they made off of this?
04:14Yeah, a lot.
04:14More than expected, actually.
04:17You think this is the only thing Uncle Dennis has gotten for him in this fashion?
04:22No!
04:23No!
04:25That's his job.
04:26Uncle Dennis did his job.
04:28And now when it came time to take the fall, because everything ain't above board in business,
04:35somebody got to be the fall guy.
04:37It was Uncle Dennis.
04:39You know, the main thing, got to walk free, because the checks got to keep coming.
04:43This ain't hard.
04:44This ain't hard.
04:45The rapper got to stay out of prison, because he got to keep making records.
04:50This ain't hard.
04:52Why is it hard for people to follow?
04:53But it's just crazy, because he is at the center of this whole thing.
04:57Kawhi Leonard is the one that is being investigated.
05:00Him and his team are the ones that this whole thing is based around.
05:03And he just gets to pay $700,000 and walk to the Raptors and go back to playing basketball.
05:10Because at the end of the day, again, you got to protect the asset.
05:15It's business 101.
05:16You got to protect the company.
05:18So somebody in the company got to take the fall.
05:21You're fired.
05:22Go away.
05:23Company has to keep operating.
05:25End of story.
05:26Kawhi's got to keep hooping, because the checks got to keep coming to the family.
05:30Again, this isn't some third-party agency he was dealing with.
05:33This was his uncle.
