THE NEW STATUE SAID, "HELLERR! THAT HURTS M' FERLINGS I'M BEAUTIFER.
THEN THE ORIGINAL STATUE WAS LIKE, "NO THE CITY MUST FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY AND RESTORE MY
FACE PROPERLY. THEN THE NEW STATUE WAS LIKE, "NO, I LIKE MY FACE.

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 EVENING'S 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 HE'S 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, DON'T BELIEVE IT, JIMMY, BUT GO
AHEAD. Jimmy: LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I HEARD, I'M 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, IT'S A WHOLE LOT OF CAT. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT DID NOT
HAPPEN HE DID A CROSS-OVER. HE DID A CROSS-OVER.
I DIDN'T FALL. BUT IT WAS SO MUCH SECRET SERVICE IN THERE, MAN.
IF I WOULD HAVE STOLE THAT BALL FROM THAT MAN, AIN'T NO TELLING WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME
[ LAUGHTER ] YOU KNOW SO
Jimmy: YOU'RE JUST BEING NICE YOU'RE BEING RESPECTFUL.
OF COURSE, OF COURSE. THE FACT THAT HE'S OUT OF OFFICE NOW, I WANT TO SEE WHAT
THIS IS, I WANT TO SEE WHAT HIS GAME IS NOW. Jimmy: NO, DON'T DO IT,
DON'T DO IT. WE PLAY GOLF OCCASIONALLY NEXT TIME I SEE HIM, I'M JUST
GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CHECK UP, CHECK UP ON SITE Jimmy: I WANT TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING AMAZING THAT YOU'RE 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 IT'S AMAZING. I'M SURE, JIMMY, YOU LIKE IN
GROUP CHATS AND YOU GOT FRIENDS THAT YOU TALK TO ALL THE TIME. FOR US, WE'VE 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.
YOU'RE UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER, BUT THERE'S 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, I'M 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
I'M 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: I'M JUST SAYING, YOU DON'T LOOK TOO BAD IN A KNICKS JERSEY
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THIS LOOKS -- NOT BAD. I'M JUST SAYING.
JIMMY, I DON'T 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. CHRIS, WHEREVER YOU'RE PLAYING
NEXT SEASON, I'LL BE CHEERING FOR YOU, BUDDY, EITHER WAY APPRECIATE YOU ALWAYS
