:16:02
[ Sighs ]
:16:07
Come on, let's walk.
:16:14
I knew you was going to come though.
I appreciate it, though, son.
:16:18
Y eah, I appreciate you for coming
to meet me and everything like that.
:16:23
I got this for Mary here. You know,
I thought she might like these here.
:16:31
[ Chuckles ]
:16:34
My all-time favorite ballplayer
was Earl Monroe.
:16:37
Earl the Pearl.
:16:40
Yeah, he was nice. See, everybody
remember him from the Knicks,
:16:43
you know, when he helped win
that second championship.
:16:45
I'm talking about when he was with the
Bullets down at Winston-Salem Stadium...
:16:48
before that game, with 42 points
a game the whole season.
:16:51
41.6...
:16:54
the whole season.
:16:57
But the Knicks, they put the shackles on
him, man, you know, on his whole game.
:17:00
They locked him up,
like in a straitjacket or something.
:17:05
When he was in the streets of Philly,
the playgrounds, [ Grunting ]
:17:09
he was like--
[ Laughing ]
:17:13
- You know what they called him?
- What?
:17:16
Jesus. That's what they called him--
Jesus. 'Cause he was the truth.
:17:24
Then the white media got a hold of it.
Then they got to call him Black Jesus.
:17:26
He can't just be Jesus.
He got to be Black Jesus.
:17:29
You know, but still...
he was the truth.
:17:37
So that's the real reason
why you got your name.
:17:40
You named me Jesus after Earl Monroe,
and not Jesus in the Bible?
:17:43
Not Jesus of the Bible,
Jesus of North Philadelphia.
:17:46
Jesus of the playgrounds.
That's the truth, son.
:17:50
The way he dished, the way
he, you know, he spinned.
:17:52
You know how you do,
coming off and all that. Taw!
