--------
Former NBA player Sebastian Telfair detailed his professional journey, starting with his four-year contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He expressed his disappointment at being traded to the Clippers-despite forming close relationships with teammates-and his shock at the significant reduction in his paycheck due to Los Angeles' high taxes. Sebastian described the excitement of joining the Cleveland Cavaliers, playing beside superstars like LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal. Recalling past teammates, he spoke on his encounters with Delonte West, a player grappling with addiction and mental health issues. Sebastian’s time in Phoenix Suns proved a double-edged sword-it was the best team he played for, but he believes his tenure there ultimately ended his career.
i still remember steve nash look at me n walked right past me,but then Telfair walks off pretty sure he seen that and not only gives his autograft but takes pic with me RESPECT
A lot of n b a players are like that when the cameras are not around. They look down at you a lot of them.
@1990758 most human beings are like that not just NBA players unfortunately
@@1990758no surprise
That was probably the only time someone asked telfair for his autograph in the NBA 😂. Steve Nash is a 2x MVP and hall of famer who gets asked everyday of his career.
@@MikeC-xg8hg and you would take any player's autograph
This is actually the perfect person to interview about the league. Talks about the down times and ins and outs of career! Bassy was great coming out of high school.. I can see why he couldn’t focus n turn it around!
I know right!
Yessir.
The guy couldn't shoot a 4 ft jump shot
True
He just told he tore his groin
He shut Glad down with that Bron Mom talk. Great Job
How he said based on the vibe probably ....if anything that confirmed it was something going on
He confirmed it lol
I ain’t gone say he shut it down but he gave a none decisive answer.
He answered perfectly. Didn't Feed into it, DIDN'T Come off scared of lebron.. . addressed it kept the conversation
Moving and didn't give Vlad the juiced up soundbite. Literally PERFECT
I disagree.. he could’ve completely shut it down by saying “no” or “I don’t know” or “not that saw or was aware of”… instead he said it’s “probably true” based on “the vibe” which means she was moving a certain way around the rest of the team for him to confidently say that ….hence he shouted her out & referenced the black Lamborghini insinuating that she was living it up
Saw him play at Lincoln.
He was such a celebrity as a kid, he may have not wanted to deal with a college coach screaming at him and 11 other guys who are just as talented, trying to earn spots. He shouldve went to Louisville for 2 yrs.
I get it, he got the bag. I would've went for it too. But this kid was real good, he could've been so much better.
Salute from Brooklyn 🥃
Even a season would've helped out a lot.
Bassy a slick talking cat. Told us everything 😂
“So boom” bro definitely representing New York lol
He sounds like he from New York crazy how you can be from Texas an play for a New York team an nobody knows your from Texas
That's a Midwest thing
“We beat Houston and allat” 😂😂😂
@@henryoreilly9995it’s the drugs bro.
Fentanyl to be exact because ol’ boy super buggin’ with that statement.
My job accidentally had me as a cali resident for one of my checks.... and i was like whoa whoa whoa wtf goin on??! i'm from florida so 0% income tax compared to cali 5000% income tax damn near gave me a heart attack
😂😂😂😂😂.....as a florida resident I got scared like shittt I gotta make sure they ain't do that shit to me😂😂😂
Don’t be a fucking idiot.. it makes a small about 7-8% difference.. nothing like some crazy amount.. I’ve lived in both. And if you own property it evens out because florida has higher property taxes
What yall don’t pay in income tax yall pay in property tax. Floridas property taxes are ridiculous
@popsmcgee4153 interesting? Shouldn't California's own be even higher though...because as expensive as Florida is California is way more expensive
Did the corporate office fix it? I know McDonald's is usually good handling things like that!
Need more of Telfair! Real hooper!
He kinda said that Bron mom rumors was true without saying it completely lol
u know we're all watching the video right?
@@peterkoroma7876 no shit ?
@@Hennyboydamedo you not realize how ridiculous you’re making yourself look?
We don’t need him to say it’s true we all know it was. His mom also kept messing with younger men after she messed with a younger rapper and Lebron stopped them from getting married look it up
@@Hennyboydameidk why they acting like you’re making stuff up. He basically
Said in other words “I never actually seen his D inside of her but I was around and from everything else I seen and heard it was definitely true”
He was my favorite player growing up. I was a freshman in high school when his movie came out.
Same
Im an 80's baby Sebastian was most def a force to be recked with. Every baller knew about him growing up...and Im from damn NC.
Perfect response...dont give vlad any extra content 💯😭

Yet u still listen to vlad
Facts cause that man be fishing for drama
@@209jjj you're an emotional 🤡...vlad can ask whatever question he wants to ask on his platform...it's up to the guests to avoid the question or take responsibility for their answer....which I applauded
@@twizzy585otsyou just as emotional as you sayin he is cus all that wasn’t necessary lol
Bassy puts a lot of blame on money and losing the Adidas deal. He was still getting a NBA check. I’ve yet to hear him talk about the time he was putting into his craft and becoming a better player. All I hear is money, Bentley, Louis V etc.
That 20 mil from adidas hit different
What have you done in your life?
I bet if he did a interview on television. He would have nice things to say.
Wait how many years how much did you make from nba also did you last longer then 10 years
He also capping saying he killed Houston that first year on Phoenix.. he had 11 pts the game he talking about a week before the season ended 😂
Shout to Gloria, a black lady driving a Lamborghini. I love that! Facts!!
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Huh?
I think one year of college would’ve definitely helped him. Just to mature him. Takes no accountability of anything. But I guess his financial situation during high school was a big issue.
he wouldn't have any accountability in college either. he would have been a star basketball player and done anything he wanted.
seems like highschool stardom spoiled him and then he couldnt stay humble and control himselft, instead being too difficult for teams too keep him
Los Angeles Taxes are crazy! I'm here
It's worth it tho lol
@@th3ronin407why?
Come to Texas and live good. Everyone talk about ATL but nothing like Texas.
@@justgiveme90days40 im from Los angeles, thinking of moving to houston...heard its one of the best cities to relocate to
Yeah, LA is expensive, I had a great time when I visited the city though. LA was a good time.
Dat mane smoking da shyt out dem blunts 😂😂😂
Real shit 😂 he need a break from that.. his lips hella dark lol
He looks dirty
@@patrickclarke3645don’t judge a book by its cover >>>
He complained hisself right out the league instead of hooping and waiting on his just due
Right?... that's what I was just thinking... He complains about getting his option picked up by a good team, in a good situation, when he admits it was clearly written in the contract... What would you think was going to happen if you had a good year?🤔 And if he had a bad year he wouldn't have got paid no 15 million..make it make sense Sebastian 🤣
People act like dis man was a flash in the pan. He an NBA vet! Respect on his name!!
right ! some troubles of course , but dude was in the league for a minute .
He stop playing in the NBA before the age of 28

@@mo2k638 he stopped playing in the NBA in 2014
@@TerryStewart32 you said before the age of 28 he was 29 in 2014
Wow it wasn't until Phoenix did he feel like he achieved his NBA dream wow
We need more interviews with him
He asked the agent for two million, the agent got him a one year “prove it deal.” He wanted more, that’s why he got the second year.
This man complained about every team he played for, made excuses about the front office/head coach/contracts, refused to take accountability for any of the bad choices he made with the numerous amount of gun violations, losing his adidas deal, and his below average play when he got to the league
People like this is delusional and crazy because of how they turn a blind eye to all the things they do to contribute to their falls but they point the finger at everybody else
Yeah you just talking. He addressed all of that and more
@@gothamtyler I said he refused to take ACCOUNTABILITY for all that clown
Instead of him blaming all of his own bad decisions on himself he keep deflecting and saying those things happen due to other people or other circumstances
@davontebrown4491 that's how it is with most ppl though. Ego is a mother f---
Buddy was going 75 in a 45, had an expired license, plus a gun in the car while having a previous gun charge that the NBA suspended him for. Imagine how untouchable he felt too even attempt that.
@@davontebrown4491because that’s reality. If you got out your mother’s basement and lived you would understand. You’re a nobody.
I love how "new york" he is. I would love to see him more on the challenge
Bassy was on the challenge? The MTV show
Lol people see a yank fitted and say anything
@@GameguyAdvancedSphe from kings county tho..
@GameguyAdvancedSp Thats Stephon Marbury cousin. They from Brooklyn goofy.
10:33 Dudley & Childress caught a cool stray 😂😂
No way Josh Childress was getting 10 mill a year. I know Jared Dudley made some coin. Dudley is a great example of making something at of nothing. Dudley was average as far as an nba player but he developed that 3 pointer and had a long career
Sebastian "Its never my fault" Telfair
Just get great. You can be on Vlad one day. Bitterness ain't it. 😂
Fact
Best Interview in a while Vlad!😊 still mad Bassy skipped out on louisville 😒 🙄 😅
Aint no way he thought he was Gon stop rondo if he was playing 😂
😂😂😂
😅®️®️
At that time, he would’ve gave rondo hell on the offensive end… cavs fucked up not playing him
U acting like rondo was a offensive machine or sum
Seems like he didn’t really care about basketball just the lifestyle and the money
He just wasn't that good at the end of the day
People like him that are off the hook in high-school and better than everyone don't realize they need to work when they get to the nba. Lebron is a perfect example of still putting the work in once he got to the NBA. People forget there was a player better than Lebron in his class. Dude was a party dude and didn't put the work in. When lebron faced him in high school and outshined him we never heard of that dude again. Just imagine being clearly better than lebron and not making it! Maurice Clarett is another example. He felt like he should be getting the lebron treatment which is part of the reason he ruined his career.
@@derald614who tf are you talking about?
@@MikeC-xg8hgLenny Cooke
@@chriisyoung_ he was never better than LeBron. He was rated higher for some reason maybe because he was 19 when LeBron was 16.
D.Rose to be honest might be the most explosive pound 4 pound person to ever be in the NBA. I mean you had Shawn Kemp, Blake Griffin, Larry Johnson, Shaq etc etc...But p4p D.Rose was super explosive. For his size to be able to dunk like he did, crazy. I feel like his time in Chicago will be forgotten, but that was a fun time to be a Bulls fan again.
I usually hear the word "P4P" when it comes to boxing 😂🥊
Vlad says he was on a contending team in Phoenix and asked how it felt, as if Cleveland wasn't a contender. 🥴🥴
The rumor wasn’t that they were “dating” Vlad..it was that he smashed Bron mom and I’m sure you would take issue if your teammate did that with ya mother that’s against the code 💀
That had to be awkward for Lebron,one of your team-mates sleeping with your mother. OUCH.
His mom should’ve been more disciplined
@@balance_it_all_out3688that would’ve been the end of our relationship tbh
@@user-be7tc2bd6e also some real shit I believe that Bron got somebody to put voodoo on Delonte West, or something.
@@balance_it_all_out3688exactly! It’s his mother who should have known better and the damage it would have done to her son Lebron James
Love Bassy's game. You can see his pain, but he has a bad case of revisionist history. And because Vlad doesn't do research, and clearly doesn't know sports, he allows Bassy to fabricate things that are researchable. The guy never cooked anyone in the league. The guy didn't fall out of a rotation, or get traded from team to team because he drove a Bentley or wore Louis Vuitton. They didn't take the Adidas deal, he gave it away. Bassy seems to be more caught up in the idea of setting trends than improving his jumper. Bassy is a career 39 percent shooter, doesn't matter what he drove to the gym or wore to the arena, 39 percent aint good for a pro point guard. Bassy thought the high school stuff mattered in the league; it didn't. Everyone in the league was an incredible high school player. It's sad because had he worked on his game he would probably still be in the league. But he just don't seem to get it. He has a great story, he needs to be accountable for himself and find some peace.
Why did you type an essay.... Nobody is going to read that
Sounds peaceful to me. You're the one up here writing a mini-series.
@@steppababynupei read it and appreciate his POV. I don't know if I agree yet but I'll look into it
Well said
I was thinking the same thing…he wouldn’t be in that situation if he would have worked on his game
I loved Telfair. He was one my favorites
Telfair did not average 15 & 8 during the second half of that season lol. He only had 8 assists twice the whole season. Why lie?
Everything he says is delusional
😂😂😂😂😂
been following and rooting for him since “through the fire” documentary
Never realized how contracts could mess players up. He broke that down in a way I’ve never heard
Well spoken young man, not dissing or hating on anyone, no agenda, speaks jis truth and confident in himself.
Real talk !!! My respect for him is more and more along the interviews .
He said he didn't start taking his career serious until he got to Phoenix which was his 7th team.
One of the greatest PG's in the world forget the NBA of all time!!
Lebron will never be on this show after asking that question
💀💀
80s baby from Louisiana we grew up watching Telfair all the legends man
he looks like adam sandler from uncut gems
0:53 why vlad act like he was referring to him. “I know, I live in LA” like no shit vlad! Lol he really can’t help but to make every topic about him somehow
I checked his 2011-2012 post all star numbers aka 2nd half numbers he didn’t average 15/8…but we still love you Bassy
what was it
@@carltonrudolph he averaged 8 & 3 second half of 2012 season, but he had a pretty solid last 15 games in the shortened season
A damn legend ‼️ you just had to be there
Delonte West probably can still drop a 15 piece in the league
Nah
@@GameguyAdvancedSpyeah! Ain't no defense. So yep!!
great job on the interview ! Sebass is a class act
Cleveland and Boston were contenders phoenix had a bunch of names on it
Nash
Bell
Marion
Stoudemire

That was a contending team
Actually Stoudemire and Marion weren’t on the team when Sebastian was there
@@545047 I know I’m agreeing with him. The phoenix team that were contenders was the team I just named
@@stevenclark3911 ahhh ok gotcha. I just reread ur comment and I understand now
@@545047 I coulda worded it better
Lol agent lied but you had a 2 year contract , you signed it like what you think happens when you play well , this makes no sense.
He signed the contract knowing it could go either way... The contract never stated a re negotiation after his first year... It covered both years and gave him what he asked for the first whatever way it was going to fall. Always make sure you understand what your signing
Good inside stuff Bassy
Ninja NEVER averaged 15 & 8 😂😂😂 he averaged 6 and 2 and wanted $10 mil 💀
This was a SUPER interview!😅😁
Bash give a good interview
Bro look like he the plug
😂😂💯💯
Bro I was just watching his highlights I swear . Pure passer , & cup runner 🤷♂️. Was cold 🥶
Vlad “I know Shaw man”😂😂😂
He so badly wanted to retell his shaq mix tape. Vlad is the only interviewer who interviews himself while interviewing someone else.
There’s a reason players don’t get the big checks it’s your attitude my boy - I can tell you were a problem- Jared Dudley and the other “bench” guys got more because they were more disciplined
Bassy was a good NBA player
Lol not really
@@1EashawtyHe was ite for his era lol
@@dreamchaser1419lol he was pretty trash in the nba he never even averaged 10 points a game. Averaged 7.4 pts a game & 3.5 asts a game for his career
Nah
.who told you that?
@@mrveee12 He was in the rotation for 10 years. Insane!
Pray for Bassy!!
1:40 The speed and strength Mvp D Rose played with at PG was insanely unstoppable....
its not uncommon with nba players or humans in general but you can tell how much the contracts and money play into their motivation. if the moneys not good, theyre not focused on the job. thats the difference between the average nba player and the greats. the way he spoke of dudley and childress...still doesnt understand that a nba players value isnt based on just offensive talent.
“Slick for the green,like Sebastian Telfair!”
He didn't have a house until Phoenix? What was this guy doing with his money?
Lol
Based off the vibe? So he saw them flirting? Damn
Lmfao prolly just seen bron and west not talk anymore you bein extra
@youngsaintehendrixx8872 Calvin Murphy on ESPN radio said it was true. The entire league knew according to him.
@@MrJ1S Unless LeBron mom, LeBron, or Delonte West confirms it, it's just a rumor.
@tari8134 yeah cuz anyone of them would actually come out and confirm it. We did see her date a much younger man named Lambo tho. There's more proof for it than against it
My boss gave me floor seats and I had the chance to witness this dude play. He was so fast, my flip phone wouldn’t capture his speed. It was pretty much a blur.
Didn’t have to bring up the man getting beat up like damn this guy is classless
I always loved this dude.
1st comment on this channel best interview clip I've seen so far ...since this channel inception...good stuff Vlad!!
Great explanation from Sebastian on the cliche: "It's Business"..... However when the players (Employees) hold-out for more "They're being selfish"? 🙄
How you gonna ask him if the rumors are true and then say “she’s a grown woman that’s her business”
Perfect example on when being drafted that doesn't mean you made it yet. Just cause you get drafted that doesn't mean it's over you won you did it. It's actually just getting started. The NBA is a job you still have to perform to keep your job you have to put up numbers you don't have the job yet. It's a business it's a numbers game. Dudes like him probably came in the league unaware of what to expect an thought ok I made it I'm rich now I can buy anything I want do anything I want an spoil my friends an family. He probably didn't know he had to still work an perform to make long term money. On top of the messy things he got into off the court thinking that won't effect his career. Bas was nice man but the NBA is a different monster. You can kick ass in high school but not to many can kick ass in the NBA especially at 6'0 straight out of high school. You can be the number 1 draft pick or number 30. If you dont eventually perform an put up numbers you'll probably be out of the league in 5 years an ballin in China some where. I liked bas when he was coming up I watched him an I was rooting for him. But dam business is business the league want's to see numbers, numbers don't lie.
Asking Him About Lebron's Mom Is some Serious Devious Activity,But these Kinda Questions Being Asked is Why I Tune In LOLLLLL
What a Freudian slip, “Supa out Smokin..” 😂 4:08
If u make a million dollar at any point in ur life ur never supposed to go broke again
Expenses
a million not enough now days fr but ill still take it
Favorite player growing up
I really hope Vlad start asking Telfair about the NBA scam he got convicted of
Doubt it more than likely it was already agreed on. Plus Vlad likes to ask questions he can steer back to himself and tell everyone more about vlad. 😆
What scam?
@@brad2943 a few years ago there was a big health insurance scam in the NBA headed by former players. Tony Allen, Shannon Brown, Glen Davis was all part of it. Doctors who was in on it charged the NBA’s insurance for medical work on former players that was never done. Google it
@@brad2943insurance scam
Perfect example of: "things happened to me, and don't consider my bad choices." Narcissist.
D.West Gettin Geek'd on Red Bulls was crazy
His agent screwed him by not asking that he also having a opt=out for the 2nd year.
Unlikely he was getting a player option when he was a vet min player. A team option for a player in his situation is pretty good. Better than bouncing from team to team with no job security
Dang good interview bro
delonte west literally be by my house at the 7/11 everyday. it be sad to see him out there
I think they laced him
Yea man idk what they did to him but everybody in the dmv see him everyday just hangin at a corner store somewhere
What tf does “take lebrons nikes off him” mean?
He meant take away lebrons Nike contract like adidas took away his shoe deal in his second year
Cause he said he wasn’t the player he used to be then lebron got brought up so he was basically comparing himself to bron in terms of status lol
I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking that.
Sounds like a bit of haterade.
@@nate8604 No it does not. You just don't know what he meant.
Instead of tryna help dawg, vlad say "ok we'll just leave it alone for now" lol way to handle that.
This dude sounds smart as hell.
Vlad couldn't let Cam and Mase have this one lol
I fuck wit Bassy so tuff, he been a BIG INSPIRATION growing up for me but listening to EVERYTHING he been sayin & seeing how EVERYTHING played out… tbh he make it SEEM like EVERYTHING bad that happened to him WASNT his fault. Like literally everything bad happened to him for no reason & EVERYBODY screwed him over… somebody make it make sense fr lol 😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I forgot he was from NY. I was like how did his accent get like that
I love the interview and insight on the league from Telfair. However, I think he is wrong to call his Agent a crook. It was a 2nd year team option. If you ball out then of course we are going to pick up that option. Maybe his agent wasn't as sharp as he couldve been but to say that is crook shit is WILD to me.
The clippezz!!
Mann dude was so cold in the 2000s
vlad out here doing full length interviews going over average role player's careers lol
and you're watching
@@mkhanman12345so are you🤷🏾♂️🤫
One of the top he players ever. Got to the league and complained and cried on every team. Didnt put in the work. Thought that hs talent wouldnt carry him. Damn shame cuz im from ny about his age and we were all rooting for bro. He got the money and never took that shit serious. He was better then everyone coming out. He got to the league with the $ and looked like he forgot how to play smh
What does he mean at 2:15 talking about LeBron, taking his Nikes off in second year?
He got on Nick Wright louie jacket 😂😂😂 go Ravens 🎉
Vlad could’ve kept it classy but just had to be messy. It’s more interesting hearing about Sebastian’s career and the ins and outs of an journeyman nba player.
Bro the reason they need NIL. He was great but needed to go to college and make some bread.
Hoopers now telfair was a god coming into the league he was insane
