    I bumped into Antoine Walker in a bar in Chicago at the height of his money troubles, but he was still kind enough to buy me a drink. Class act all the way.
  • @roklawbstah
    "Antoine, why do you shoot so many 3 pointers?" "BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A 4 POINTER!"
  • @d1g3r
    Antoine is a natural on the mic. Hope to hear more from him
  • @upgradeyourmindset3265
    I love that Antoine is calling out the disrespect towards Paul Pierce. You gotta understand Paul never got his just due ever since he came into the league. He was overlooked when he was drafted and overlooked amongst the other stars in the league. It wasn't until KG and Ray Allen got to Boston that people started to notice him. You always hear about players or teams playing down to their competition. Paul Pierce was one of the few who played up to his competition. No matter who it was. Never dodged the smoke and played like he was the best player on the court.
  • @upgradeyourmindset3265
    Cybor Toine, Employee #8. I'll never forget his time in Boston. He and Pierce were a great duo in the early 2000s
  • @Caspa2161
    All the smoke getting back its steam i love it
  • @ahmadu82
    So soon as I saw Antonio Walker... I click it. Great Interview .
  • @isiahspencer3028
    Oh yeah he was a bucket back in the days him and Paul Pierce was a dangerous Duo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆
  • @kwamesarfo-mensah5785
    Antoine was so ahead of his time with his style of play in the early 2000s. He was the ultimate stretch 4 at a time when bigs weren’t jacking up 3s like they do now. Now, you got a whole bunch of PFs and SFs out there playing like Antoine Walker.
  • @CantEditDaTruth
    ‘P as tough as they come!’ 🔥🔥🔥 put some respect on Double P goddamnit
  • @Moneyball23
    Antoine is a great interview, he’s a natural on the mic.
  • @jayseven8581
    Thank you for the Paul Pierce clear up! The disrespect has been crazy!
  • @indiefilmmillennial8338
    Mr. Walker was a working man who had a financial hiccup. This brother is the same as all of us. No difference at all.
  • @brandond2233
    Great interview man. That Paul pierce sidestep on the right elbow was MONEY.
  • @alanfortune3092
    Love Brother, for setting the story straight on YOUR story! It's generous of you to share it when you don't have to, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ANYONE'S BUSINESS! Keep your spirits high and keep doing your thang! 💯!
  • @Tyweezy84
    Yoo y’all going crazy with the guests 🔥🔥 this like 5/6th interview in a row that’s top notch
  • @juliusa4583
    Glad to see Antoine is doing well. He was a beast back in the day. He is definitely A real one.
