-This is familiar. I like this seat.
-Yeah, you do. The last time you were here,
it was after your final game. -Yeah.
-Do you remember when you were here?
You remember what was happening? -It's a little foggy.
-Yeah, because you were -- -I had a hangover.
-Yeah.
-I had my first hangover. -Exactly right.
-But I was wondering once I left,
why was there a nurse right there in the room when I --
I'll just leave that alone.
I never been somewhere where they had a nurse right away.
-Yeah, we took care of you, man. -I was like, "I got a hangover."
The nurse came out of nowhere. -Because you don't drink, right?
You're an athlete. -Well, yeah, I drink.
-You drink, yeah, but not that much.
-No, I drink a lot. -You do?
-I have my own wine.
-I know you do now, but, I mean --
-Well, I never got drunk like that.
Like, I've always been able to be, like, cut off.
It's time to go.
But that night, after my last game of my entire career,
I was, like, to the wall.
-Yeah. You went for it.
And then you were like,
"Jimmy, I hope I'm okay.
I'm sorry if I'm going to be a little foggy."
You were fantastic.
-I was? -Yes.
-Don't remember. -Alright. Good.
Don't have to remember. Don't worry about it.
You've been very busy in your retirement, by the way.
You wrote a memoir. You have fashion brands.
You have a wine, you just said.
And no big deal -- you bought a piece of an NBA team.
You're part owner of the Utah Jazz.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you. Thank you.
-How -- Couple questions there.
How did you get involved with Utah Jazz?
And how did that end up being?
-Ryan Smith, who's the owner of the Jazz,
very good friend of mine
and around the same age -- 41 years old.
And, so, playing golf, as well. We golf together.
Talked about doing business together one day.
And he one day bought a team called the Utah Jazz,
flew to my house, and asked me to be a part of it.
-I love the name Utah Jazz.
Robert, how's the jazz scene in Utah?
-Does not exist. -Exactly.
-All-Star Weekend is in Utah this year.
What's up? -Oh, I'm down.
-Talk to me. -Oh, yeah, you know Robert.
-You know what I'm saying? -I'll bring jazz to Utah.
-That's what I'm talking about. Let's do it.
-That's the way it works. -Let's do it.
-That's the way it works. -Yeah.
-Does it get frustrating for you, as an owner of a team,
to watch the players, and you're like,
"I don't know if I can watch them."
Because you know how to do it. -Yeah, see? It's hard.
-It is, right?
-It's hard watching a game period.
-Yeah, cause you want to get in there and go,
"No, I'll show you how to do it.
You do this and then that and then this."
-Because all you're thinking about is
what you would do, right?
Like, you hoop a lot, as I've heard.
-Yes. -Right?
Do you think about what you would do when you watch the NBA?
-Well, I think, "Wow, I'd like to do that."
Are y'all rebuilding?
-We're reshaping.
-Yeah, reshaping.
-We don't use "rebuild" in the NBA.
-Nice terminology. -Reshaping.
-Reshaping. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that.
You've played basketball, pickup, with some of
the biggest celebrities around.
I have a picture of you playing with Adam Sandler.
How's Adam's game?
-Adam's nice.
So, that was 2006, the day after I won my first championship.
-No big deal. -No big deal. Thank you.
And I got the chance to spend some time with him in the back,
and he told me that, at the time,
they called him "The White Dwyane Wade,"
because I was really known for
my backboard shots around that time.
I would come down and shoot off the glass.
And Adam got a little two-hand backboard shot.
And so they was calling him The White D-Wade.
-Is that right? -Yeah.
-I've got to ask him about that. How about this?
With President Obama.
You played a pickup game with President Obama.
How is his game, first of all? -Yeah.
So, legendary. Legendary. -It is, right?
-I played a pickup game with President Obama
on his 49th birthday.
It was, like, a cryptic e-mail that came through.
I didn't really know if I was, like --
if I was just showing up
and then somebody was playing a trick on me
or was it actually, like, president's birthday
and we were going to hoop.
-At The White House. -At The White House.
All it said was,
"Show up to The White House and bring your sneakers."
And I was like, "I'm going."
I don't know who this is from, but I'm showing up.
But -- He's actually -- He's not bad.
-Really? -He's a lefty.
He has a real -- As smooth as he is,
that's how smooth his game is.
-Really? -Yeah.
-How's Trump's game? -Who?
[ Laughter ]
[ Cymbal crash ]
-He said, "Who?" He said, "Who?"
-Didn't get that e-mail, huh? -No, I didn't get that one.
-Yeah.
-So, we're scrimmaging with President Obama,
and he brings us all in and he'd say,
"Hey, I want you guys to play hard
and play like this is a real game."
And then we looked around the court,
and there's Secret Service all around the court.
And it's like, "We can't touch you."
-We can't play a real game. What are you talking about?
-We can't foul you for real.
-Imagine if you did that? -No, Joakim Noah did.
-He did?
-Oh, he picked him up full court,
was elbowing him, and everything.
It was great. -As you should.
-That's why he never got invited back.
-Yo, you would [bleep] Biden.
-Alright, alright.
Let's not get any ideas. That's not going to go down.
We actually... [ Laughter ]
Joe, do not invite -- I don't want to see this happen.
Please.
There's another player I'd like to get your take on.
I'm curious if you think he's any good.
He played in the NBA Celebrity Game earlier this year.
We have a clip. Take a look at this guy.
-You know what it is, guys? I was just --
-Uh-oh. -Back again.
-Make the extra pass.
-Oh!
-Where'd that guy come from?
-So, initially -- Let me see this shot.
-What are you seeing out of Jack Harlow here?
-I see him turning -- -Shawn Marion influence.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Shawn Marion? That's what I was thinking.
-What were you thinking? -Shawn Marion.
He shoots like -- Shout-out to Shawn Marion.
-From, like, the pelvis -- -Yeah.
You shoot like the ball was hot.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Like, he laid it up like it was like a hot plate in his hand.
He was like...
-Well, sometimes, that's when the lights are on.
You know, your form changes under pressure.
But it's been restructured since.
-It's been restructured? -Yeah.
-It went in. It looks --
-Did you like the clips? What did you think of the clips?
-It looks terrible. -Oh.
But it's effective.
-You're lucky we don't have your highlights up here.
-Well, I mean, I wish you did.
I'm play them for my son all the time and like,
"Look at your dad."
-Yeah, watch what dad -- Yeah.
Let's talk about "The Redeem Team."
-Yes, sir. -Congrats on this.
Thanks for doing this, executive-producing this.
But explain to people if they don't know what
"The Redeem Team" was, can you?
-Yes. So, 2004, the Olympics in Athens, Greece,
which it was a tough time in the world around that time.
A lot of the stars players in the NBA
were opting out of playing in the Olympics
because of war things going on in the world.
And so they called on the younger guys --
myself, Carmelo, LeBron -- to join this team.
And we joined this team with Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan,
Stephon Marbury, and all these great,
you know, NBA players.
And, so, we were like, "Cool.
We're about to go win us a gold medal."
And that didn't happen.
We won the bronze.
We were pretty terrible as a team.
-Worst summer of my life, bro. -Yeah, it was...
-Worst summer of his life.
It really bummed him out. But, I mean, that was -- Yeah.
-Well, I mean, I think, at the time, we realized, one,
that the world, like, was not catching up --
they had caught up, right?
We were playing against teams that had been
playing together since they were 16 years old,
maybe even younger.
And so the chemistry that they had we did not have.
We got together two weeks before in Jacksonville.
-And you're own stars in your own rights,
so you're like, "I don't really know how to play as a team
with these guys, 'cause --" Yeah.
-And then, it's the rules. It's FIBA rules.
It's a FIBA game.
You got to learn how to play their game.
It's not the NBA game.
The rules are different. And, so, the ball is different.
Everything is different.
And, so, we got together, and, like, it was --
The practice was a tragedy. -It was just --
-It was a separation between teams, too.
Like, it was just a thrown-together team.
And, so, to get to the Redeem Team,
enter Coach K from Duke, enter Jerry Colangelo.
And they decided to build a team.
And, so, we spent the next three summers in Vegas.
We had a great time.
-Yeah, yeah. I could imagine, yeah.
-We spent the next three summers in Vegas
building, like, chemistry and building continuity
and building the team.
-How was Coach K? -Coach K is awesome.
-Yeah, he's just cool, right? -He's just cool.
And I didn't know he said [bleep] so many times.
Can I say that on TV?
It was great. -Yeah, it was great.
-He's like, "These..."
I was like, "Yes, I'm ready to go play."
-Really? Yeah.
I went to go see him coach once, and he was just yelling.
He was pointing at some clipboards like...
[ Shouting indistinctly ]
And they lost the game.
And then, at the end, they go, "Do we want to go back
and say hi to Coach?"
I go, "No. I don't ever want to see that guy.
He scares me. He frightens me."
-That was him at like -- So, our games was at 9:00 p.m.
We were in China in 2008.
And that was him at 9:00 a.m. at walk-through and shoot-around.
He was fired up and ready to go.
-Yeah. But all of you guys were.
-Yeah, well, after losing, we had --
It's called the Redeem Team.
We had to redeem ourselves. -And you got the gold.
-Yeah, we got the gold. -That's the way to do it.
Gold medal. -Yes, sir.
-And it's fun to have the bronze, too.
-Yeah. So, I thought -- We thought it was a great time
to be able to tell this story.
Obviously, our brother, "Kob," is not here,
but to have his presence and his voice in this documentary,
to have "Bron's" presence and "Melo's" presence
and Coach K, like, all the voices to tell this story.
And this was pre-Instagram.
This was right when Twitter probably popped off.
No one really knows about the Redeem Team and, you know,
what all came about to get to that place.
So I think they're going to be surprised,
and it's a pretty good documentary.
-I want to show everyone a clip.
Here is a clip from "The Redeem Team."
Take a look.
-Well, first half was disjointed because of foul trouble.
Now there were more minutes,
and people were playing different roles.
-They bring in Dwyane Wade and Deron Williams
a little earlier than expected.
-Sometimes, you feel like you've been there before,
you've done this before.
Like, I knew I was going to have a big game.
And when I got in, I got right to it.
-Wade to the basket. Goes inside.
Beautiful move.
There's Wade with the steal.
-Not only did I get two fouls early, Kobe did, too.
And that set the stage for D-Wade.
-Yeah, come on! [ Cheers and applause ]
That's the way you do it right there.
Dwyane Wade, everybody! [ Cheers and applause ]
"The Redeem Team" begins streaming on Netflix tomorrow.
We'll be right back with a performance from
Quavo and Takeoff.
Stick around, everybody.
