    This interview was gold and the melo one as well. Chris is truly about family. Melo whole life is about things he loves getting taking away from him. It explains so much why their careers turned out like they did. Both are champions in my book. And listening to them talk about their kids and how much you miss in this game it really makes you think about what's really important in life

      @@CoopCollins read, 2 favorite players growing up. I never said all time. All time its MJ, DWade, Joker, Khawi,AI and Magic. Wake up be realistic CP3 is 6'0 slaying giants that is very admirable and it is very, very hard. Im 6'0 as well and it was tough as hell to score against taller people. Respect CP3 and the other nba stars that are short you troll. Cant hate on anybody that has a 6'0 foot player as they're 🐐 no matter what player it is.
