The following is a presentation of HBO Sports...

Maverick: Jon, let me ask you a questio.

Have you ever been in a black barbershop?

-Me? -Maverick: Yes.

Uh, only to collect rent.

(laughter)

♪ Had to go and hit reset, now we here ♪

♪ I been on top of three sets in three years ♪

♪ I can't be around the niggas you minglin' with ♪

Jon: Here's what I notice about this.

The magazines are not central

to the black barbershop.

The white barbershop,

it's all about the magazines.

-The conversation is central-- -So, the-- we have no conversations!

Everything happens in the black barbershop.

The critics of the movies.

-"Did you see that movie?" -Yeah!

-Last Sunday's football games. -Yep.

If you walk into the barbershop and everybody's like,

"Yo, that movie is the shit," you go see it.

In the barbershop, you can't lie.

-You cannot lie. -LeBron: Somebody's gonna call your ass out.

You can't walk in the barbershop,

like, "Yo, these clothes are..." A nigga will be like,

"Yo, them your cousin's clothes. Shut the fuck up."

There's gonna be one guy in the barbershop

that's not even gonna get a fucking haircut.

He's just in there chilling!

-Oh, yeah, yeah! -LeBron: He's only there to roast your ass,

and make an argument. He's not even getting a fucking haircut.

You're like, "Damn, nigga, you've been here since 8:00 AM.

It's 6:00 in the afternoon. You still ain't got your hair cut?"

He's only there to start shit.

He's sitting on the couch, and he's like,

he like, "You next?" "Nah, I'm good.

So your shoes busted as fuck." Like...

Damn, nigga!!

You need to get a haircut or get the fuck outta here.

The comfort that you can feel in the barbershop,

is that comfort...

amplified, because you spend so much time

in spaces that don't feel that way to you?

Maverick: That's a great question.

LeBron, you can speak to that cause you,

first time you were around all white people when you came to high school.

LeBron: Yeah, yeah. I went to an all white high school, Catholic high school.

So...

like, when I first went to the ninth grade in high school,

I was on some, like,

-"I'm not fucking with white people." -Jon: Right.

Like, cause my whole, I was so institutionalized growing up in the hood,

it's like, "They don't fuck with us.

They don't want us to succeed."

The hierarchy, and then we're here.

Like, matter of fact, we're underneath this chair.

So I'm like, "I'm going to this school to play ball and that's it."

I don't want nothing to do with white people.

-I don't believe that they want-- -You don't want no friends.

It's me and my boys.

We're going to high school together and we here to hoop.

So that was, like, my initial,

like, thoughts and my initial shock to, like, white America,

when I was 14 years old for the first time in my life.

And that's Catholic school.

-LeBron: Yeah. -Which is even whiter America.

(laughter)

Levels to white America.

LeBron: It took me a little while.

To-- to kinda adjust to it.

It's hard to balance because I'm a kid that,

that plays this game at such a high level.

You're in your mind, like, "Are they happy that I'm here

-because of who I am?" -Jon: Right.

"Or because of my conversation that I can have with them."

Sport and basketball, it's the most unifying thing.

By the end of the year, all of us were best friends.

Our black friends from the hood was coming.

-Yeah. -His white friends, and we were just all

-having a fucking great time. -And like I told you before,

the first time I ever found out about a pantry is when I went to high school.

-(laughter) -Jon: Wow.

-Bread, cereal, chips. -Right.

-Donuts. -Donuts, all that shit is on the top of the refrigerator.

When I got to high school is the first time I knew about a pantry.

First time you open a pantry is

like the briefcase in "Pulp Fiction."

It's just, like, a light comes out, you know?

Oh, my God, this is-- I've never seen this before.

-Yeah, yeah. -All the snacks in the world are right here in front of me.

-Yeah, dear God. (laughs) -Jon: LeBron brought it up earlier, he's like,

"Am I here cause I can play basketball?

And would these kids accept me if not?"

And does that ever go away?

Cause that's stress.

Like, if you feel like even in your success,

you can never escape that level of scrutiny...

I could see that

-making you crazy and angry. -Maverick: 100%.

Absolutely. Because I think the difference

between us as African Americans

and us growing up in the hood is that,

there's not many people that make it.

When you're finally in a position where you're like,

"Oh, I can do this shit?"

You want to bring the whole community with you.

Jon: We are entertainers.

And there is something to being an entertainer

that coming out of communities

that are not majority communities that are not represented,

that is a little bit of, "Please let me stay."

That's something they have to unlearn,

just like we have to unlearn the fact of,

"Please let me stay."

It should not be "Please let me stay."

It should be that you need me.

When an entertainer begins to move to that,

look at how angry it makes them.

"Shut up and dribble."

"Formation? No, you go back to entertaining us."

-You are entertainers! -Jon: With no sense of...

how your community really feels

about its place in our country.

-Yeah. -They don't want to hear that.

Vince: What they have to understand is it's not their country,

and you know that from the numbers.

So, if it's really "shut up and dribble,"

then the shoes don't sell, then the jerseys don't sell.

-Vince: And the games don't keep running. -Right, but isn't that Trump?

Isn't Trump saying to them, "No, no, no, no, no. It's our country."

-Maverick: Well, I think-- -It's gotta be!

Well, what it is it's like, it's that last swing before you get knocked out.

-And... -(laughter)

If it connects, then you might be okay, but most of the time it don't,

and you're on the ground with the noodle arms.

So, the noodle arms are coming.

♪♪

Maverick: To be great you have to give up a lot of shit.

You have to sacrifice shit. Time with family.

-Privacy. -Privacy.

-That's the biggest one. -Kids! Time with your kids.

Maverick: Certain foods, things.

But from the female perspective, a female athlete,

are there certain things that you had to sacrifice

that you look back and go...

"I wish I didn't have to sacrifice those things?"

I think it really started when I became a mom.

My image of my mom, she was there every day.

She dropped me off. She cooked dinner.

She did all these things.

So my image of what a mother was supposed to be and act

was a lot different than what I'm able to give my daughter.

Like, I'm not able to be there every second,

and fix every meal and help her with every homework.

And for me, it was hard for me,

because I struggled, you know,

to balance the work and mom

because you have these expectations that you're supposed to be at, you know,

at home for your kid and take care and drop 'em off.

But then I'm trying to work

and make a better life for her as well.

You know, you talk about sacrifices,

when I got pregnant with my daughter,

people shouldn't be looking at me crazy.

You gave up a year of your career.

I gave a year up of my career.

LeBron: For us, as athletes,

it is the longest shortest thing that we can do in our life

to get the maximum out of it.

If you lose the joy of the craft that you're in,

then you're gonna cheat the game and you're gonna cheat yourself.

And then ultimately you're gonna cheat your loved ones.

And that's why I'm still doing what I'm doing

because I want to continue to inspire,

not only the people in my household,

but everybody that I can while I can.

Like this motherfucker is the greatest

I've ever seen do what he's doing.

To be able to age and continue to reinvent himself

year after year, decade after decade,

and still be relevant and still be able to have people follow him,

that shit is hard as hell.

Is it shit that come along in the game that reinvigorates you?

I never was cool with being second.

I don't know what second place felt like.

And you can call it cocky or whatever the fuck you want,

but I just don't like being in second place.

And sometimes I feel like I have to reinvent myself

because I done fell back to second place.

And it's not because it is what it is. It is what it ain't.

It's like you're not that young rapper no more.

You're not that young fly MC.

But I still can pull a move on you motherfuckers real quick.

-Sh-bop, bop, bop. -(snaps)

(laughing)

But what I appreciate about Snoop is

he doesn't follow the wind.

-Maverick: No. -And that's when you know you have an artist

and not just a performer.

Is, if you follow the wind, you see guys that do that all the time.

Like, "What's in now, disco?"

Alright, I'm gonna put on a shiny suit

and I'm gonna go out there and do that.

-He is-- Always. -Maverick: He's himself!

It's not easy to age gracefully.

-I left. -You left!

Because at a certain point,

you cannot perform

to the same level that you perform.

-I evolved it in the best-- -How did you know though?

I began to make decisions based on laziness.

They'd pitch me an idea, and they'd say, you know, "We'll go down at noon,

"you put on your suit,

we'll go out and we'll do a bit." And I'll go...

"What if we did that at rehearsal

"and I didn't wear a suit,

I just wore the shit I'm wearing right now."

(laughter)

Jon: And at that point I was like, "Oh! I'm lazy about this."

When I got the show that I got I was 35 years old.

Like I'd been through it.

I'd done shows that had gotten cancelled.

I'd written for other people.

I'd done, you know, lived out of my car doing standup shows.

Like I had been through it.

And I gave everything that I could to this last chance.

And it worked.

But after evolving it after 16 or 17 years,

I realized,

it was time for someone else to have that chance.

Most people don't do that, Jon.

I was satisfied.

So you want LeBron to retire?

No, but he also said, he started to cheat the game.

-That's exactly right. -When I don't want to go to practice,

-I don't want to wake up and work out... -Jon: That's right.

-I'm not giving what I can to this game... -Jon: That's right.

Then it's somebody else that needs to be in this position.

-And that's why said he gave it up. -LeBron, let me ask you this.

After 15 years, eight straight Finals,

you still feel you want to get up and work?

It's not burning like that 10 years ago.

Here, but right here it is.

I know exactly what the fuck I need to do.

I know how to do it.

And I know how I'ma get the best out of myself.

I don't need you to push me.

Right.

Once it get to a point where

you still need people to push you at a certain age,

then you don't need to be doing it no more.

And what helps is my fucking kids playing.

-Snoop: Mmm! -Maverick: That's interesting.

Watching my boys play ball,

like last year was the first, like,

I really had some time to go watch them play in the summer.

Like really sat down,

went to, like, four or five tournaments.

And I'm sitting there,

and I'm watching the game,

and I feel my motherfucking hands just start sweating.

I feel, like, my chest start sweating.

And I'm like, man, "These is 13, or ten year olds out here hooping.

-(laughter) -LeBron: Why are you feeling like this?"

Then it went from, like, just sitting there.

And then it went from, like, to this.

Like, "Let's go!"

And then it went from me sitting on the bench

-to me getting in an argument. I got in an argument-- -(laughter)

Maverick: You turned into the crazy AAU dad?

Yo, you turned into the crazy AAU dad.

First of all, I didn't get into an argument with a AAU dad.

I got in an argument with a AAU mom.

-Snoop: What?! -What?

-A mother?! -With a mother.

Jerrod: (indistinct) you did do something.

I did. I did.

I did, and you want to know who the first person I apologized to?

It was my mom that was sitting right here.

And the reason I apologized to my mom,

because I used to get on my mom so much.

-Odell: For doing the same shit. -LeBron: When I was a kid,

and she used to go crazy at my AAU games,

I used to be like, "Mom, chill out, Mom. I don't want this."

And I went crazy about my kids.

-And I was like, I was like, "Mom, I'm sorry." -You felt her pain.

Snoop: You did the same thing. The cycle.

"I'm sorry." But that shit, like,

it, like, gave me, like, it gave me some motherfuckin'--

I was like, "I'm ready to hoop again."

Jon: What do you say to your kid though?

Like, living up to you being their dad.

So you're-- you're their dad and they're coming up

and they're playing the same sport that you played

better than anyone else in the world has ever played it.

How do you...

how do you give them a peace of mind

that they don't have to be you?

How can their excellence be their own?

I still regret giving my 14 year old my name because of that.

Right.

LeBron: Like when I was younger, didn't have a dad.

So, my whole thing was like,

"Whenever I have a kid,

"not only is he gonna be a junior,

I'm gonna do everything that this man didn't do."

I don't even know what the situation was that was going on with him

but I knew I would be there for my son.

Like, I'm gonna lay it down, I'm gonna be the best father I can be.

With the time that I can give,

but I'm gonna give even more time than I can give.

And now I sit back and I'm like...

"Fuck, I've actually kind of set him up."

And I should have known

that him just being around the game,

he was gonna want to play the game.

They're gonna experience things that I didn't experience.

Only thing I could do is give 'em the blueprint

and it's up to them to take their own course.

I hear my daughter sometimes say, "I can't."

Yes, you can. You absolutely can.

I don't want to hear that "you can't" stuff.

Try it, fail,

and then try that shit again.

And continue to do it over and over.

Don't ever say you can't do something.

-Yes! -LeBron: Because then you shelter your mind,

to where something could happen at three years old,

if you say you can't do something,

then they carry it all the way to 25 years old.

To hear you say that to your daughter,

there's so many people that say that to their sons,

and they don't say that to their daughters.

-They do it for them. -That's interesting.

And I was brought up in a household

where I had the same curfew as my brothers.

I was told I can do the same thing.

I didn't have rules that were different.

And I think that that's--

That means a lot to me

because I'm bringing up my daughter that way.

Can LeBron ever come out and say,

"I'm the best basketball player playin'?"

I think you should say that.

I think you should believe that.

And you should definitely let the world know that.

I think Bron over the last four years

became LeBron James.

And it wasn't nothing to do with winning

it wasn't nothing to do with stats. He found himself.

People didn't start to view him

as they view him now,

until he became that force,

that man to say "I'm here."

I feel like for years, he shied away from saying I'm here.

And when he started to say,

"Fuck y'all, I'm here."

That's when he became who he is,

and no one would have ever said that until he did it himself.

Motherfuckers fucked with Mike

because Mike was like, "I'm Mike with my hooping ring.

Fuck all y'all, I'm here."

And until he did that,

that's when he became the figurehead that he is.

So many people shy away from that

and that's why they never reach their full potential.

When you're growing up in sports or hip-hop,

whatever the case may be,

all you hear is, like,

"I want to be the best."

Whoever's the best, they do it their way,

whatever the case may be.

And then, when you do it your way,

and you win...

it still ain't enough.

It still ain't enough.

And that's for-- for us as African Americans,

because I believe if the greatest quarterback in the world,

he's a white quarterback,

if it's Brady, if it's Rodgers, if it's Manning,

and we're doing the same shit, the same exact shit,

I'm talking about the phone is on. We're like, yo,

"Get that fucking phone out of my face.

I'm with my family."

If we're out with our family,

and we say that shit, and somebody posts it,

and if Aaron Rodgers or one of those guys

say that shit, and they post it,

somebody's gonna be like,

"Hey, you guys should-- you guys should respect Aaron Rodgers."

They're gonna say to us, "Oh, you guys are fucking dickheads."

I had it happen the other day. I didn't want to take a picture.

I'm like, "I'm really in a rush, I gotta go."

I get on Twitter, it's like,

"Oh, yeah, I'm a Giants season ticket holder for 30 years."

I'm like, "First of all, you're 20-something."

(laughter)

And then it's like, "Oh, he's an asshole,

he didn't want to take a picture." It's like...

To me, I be feeling like, I tell people this all the time

I really feel like a zoo animal.

Like that's where life's gone for me.

You know, you used to take your kids to the zoo

and we used to be like, you know,

"I wannna-- I wanna see the lions

or let's go see the lions."

And you go out there,

and the lions are laid out. You know what I mean?

It's like, why aren't they doing lion stuff, you know what I mean?

Like I've got people who call, "Odell! Dance!"

(stammering) Like-- like I'm a show punk,

a show monkey or something.

Like I'm a puppet, you know what I mean?

And it's like to me, that doesn't feel good,

but it's like, damn, that's what life became, but...

can you ever really detach from that?

♪♪

Jerrod: I think the frustration comes from me having to

watch people pretend "Hamilton" was good.

Oh!

People from the upper west side

telling me what good rap is.

"Hamilton" was, at best,

the best community center performance

that I've ever seen.

It was a piece of shit.

It was terrible. We had to pretend,

and that was part of the wave of life.

But that rapping, fuck you. It was terrible.

It'd be like Jews going, "'Fiddler On The Roof' was bullshit!"

-(laughter) -This is not-- it can't be happening.

The way black people,

the way we view hip-hop,

the bars aren't there, the beats aren't there.

But all the white people fucked with it

and it was this big thing.

"Hamilton," first of all, you shouldn't look at it

and compare it to, you know,

-to Kendrick Lamar. -Maverick: To Snoop Dogg, Jon.

Jon: Or to Snoop Dogg, cause it's not within that.

You should compare it to "Cats."

-So the reason why-- -We don't even know what "Cats" is.

-Exactly. -Snoop: It's a play.

It's a play, a Broadway play.

-People dress in leotards on Broadway. -Snoop: People dressed as cats.

Shit in the '80s. Y'all niggas was little kids when it came out.

Jon: You're talking about Broadway.

To me, it just sounded like when they sent people,

uh, to rap multiplication to me

when I was an inner city youth.

Cause they're like, "That's the way we're gonna get through to him."

(laughter)

I normally wouldn't support bullshit that I don't like,

but at this moment

for the-- for the team,

I'll take one for the team.

We move everything.

We move the way people dress.

We move the way people think.

We move the way people dance.

Music people listen to.

We move the way people play sports.

Snoop: And the way they talk.

When I first went to, uh, London for the first time,

me and Dre hit the stage.

There was like 75,000 motherfuckers in the audience

and they just was rocking, right?

I kept going back overseas,

and every country I went to,

my shit was getting bigger and bigger.

And then the cool part was,

the way you say I raised y'all,

I raised a lot of people overseas

and taught them how to speak fuckin' English through my music.

Because we globally effect the whole world,

black people are more respected outside of America

than they are in America.

-Maverick: That's a good point. -That's-- that's interesting.

Oh, that's a fact!

That's a fact!

It's more so of black people not knowing who they are.

The reason we struggle as black people is because

we don't know who we are.

-Say that. -And so,

I mean, if you want to be quite frank about it,

white people know who we are.

That's why they keep fucking kicking us.

Why don't we get down with each other

when we're in the same lane?

-100%. -It would make more sense.

It makes much more sense,

and you actually can become

in control of our thing.

Because we're really creating it.

The reason other cultures are so strong,

like a Jew is gonna look out for a Jew.

A Chinese man is gonna look out

-for a Chinese man. -Jon: Eh...

Draymond: You can "Ah, ah" all you want.

Jews look out for Jews, period.

(voices overlapping)

But you know why, though, is cause they realize that they been through something

they never want it to happen again.

-Right. -Humankind is tribal in nature.

100%. Take care of each other.

We are born to join and be with groups where we find identity.

It's why team fanship is so strong.

You know, if we didn't have religion,

we'd find other ways to go to war with each other.

Cause we are tribal in nature

and we fight over resources.

And when you start to believe that your resources are finite,

you begin to treat others

as foes and rivals and enemies.

-Right. -Jon: What would unite us as people?

If fuckin' aliens came.

And then we'd all be like, "Humans are in trouble."

Humans are-- That's a good point!

That was a good point.

Did you fear when-- when you began

to talk about your experience,

did you fear the loss of that shine?

That's like going to, uh, an amusement park

and you've never rode that rollercoaster.

There's a fear of that,

but there's a joy of saying that I did that.

I want the satisfaction.

Not for myself, but for everybody else.

I was raised off, you know, Snoop and Pac

and Jay and Biggie.

And now I get an opportunity to...

to be the inspiration

around where all these kids are looking up to.

And for me to just sit back and not say shit,

when a lot of my peers didn't say shit.

It didn't feel right.

Athletes don't have a responsibility to speak up for nothin'.

You have a responsibility to speak up for what you believe in.

Just because you're an athlete,

and you have a certain platform,

that does not mean you have the responsibility to speak up for anything.

But I feel like at some point in time,

it's like you have to be able to stand up on your morals

simply because you are representing people who look like you

and they're looking up to you for a--

But what if that ain't your moral though?

What if I don't believe the same thing you believe as a black man?

But we both believe that black kids shouldn't be shot.

I mean, yeah, like, obviously shit like that.

I'm just saying the real social issues of people of color,

every athlete is effected by 'em

because we're the same people that used to be in those neighborhoods,

dribbling, walking up and down the street, that used to wear those clothes.

So, when I was growing up,

I was looking for Michael Jordan to say something.

He never did, but now kids can look up and be like,

"What LeBron saying?"

Jon: I liken you to Ali.

Like Ali was, at the time, the Greatest.

-Right. -Jon: But when he spoke out,

he went to jail, man.

-Absolutely. -Even his greatness couldn't insulate him

from those rules that they had set up.

And did you think to yourself like,

"As good as I am, it's not going to matter?"

Yeah, because it's not-- at the end of the day,

when I decided I was gonna start speaking up

and not giving a fuck about the backlash

or if it affects me,

my whole mindset, "Well, it's not about me."

I think Ali already knew,

he knew that it wasn't about him.

"I'ma get the backlash.

"I'ma go to jail.

"But what this is gonna do for the next group,

"what this is gonna do for the next athlete,

"what this is gonna do for the next minority who wants to speak up,

whenever that happens,"

Ali's whole mindset was like,

"At some point somebody is gonna take what I did,"

and I sensed that.

I sensed that on, you know,

losing this or losing that or losing popularity.

My popularity went down.

But at the end of the day,

my truth to so many different kids

and so many different people

was broader than me personally.

What gave you the-- the confidence and the courage?

I mean, certain things happen.

Things change in your life.

Me having my own kids,

and then seeing the Trayvon Martin thing.

It hit home.

And I don't even know, if I didn't have any kids at the time

who knows if I would have even been able to speak up on it

because it probably wouldn't have hit home for me.

It wouldn't have made me feel the same way.

At the time, I think my oldest son was nine

and my youngest son was six.

I can't imagine...

if I sent my kid out, and he didn't return home.

-Maverick: Like that, exactly. -Like that.

I couldn't imagine that.

Like that happened.

So that's why I started thinking, and I was like, okay,

"If I can get 25,000 people to show up to a basketball game,

I can reach so many more platforms when I talk."

Because if you look at what Maya Angelou said,

she talks about how words stick to things

and words create situations.

Do you think the N-word creates a type of environment for young people?

As leaders, should we not say it or should we say it?

-Because it-- -I'm gonna speak on it from the rap perspective.

That shit was here before we got here,

it's gonna be here after we got here.

But the point is that we are becoming more positive,

we're becoming more productive.

And that word doesn't affect us from becoming productive.

And that's our lingo, that's the way we communicate.

When I see, "What's up, my nigga?"

That's just how I get down.

I hate the fact that it's my brainwashed situation,

but that's all the fuck I know.

I'll say, I went to Africa and I loved those niggas.

-They were amazing. -(laughter)

Very important, I-- I think is,

don't have any buttons that people could just press.

Because what I have seen is people snap

and, like, just, like, drag white dudes for saying it

and get expelled from school.

And like their lives ruined because they had a button.

I'm saying it for any word.

Be, you know, cautious

that you're not just triggered so easily

that you disrupt your own life and well-being.

I think any communication between two human beings

should be full of respect.

Like and-- and your intentions should be checked.

Uh, are there bigger fish to fry?

Yeah, I'm much more concerned

with the wording of a contract

than that word being used.

(laughing)

Michael: I think about what happened to LeBron

and I think about the word, the N Word.

I was sayin' the N word, but it was on his house

and he had to make a choice.

"Do I just wipe it off and just say it didn't happen?"

How did you-- LeBron, how did you explain that to your kids?

Um, I mean, shit,

the same way I explained it to everybody in the world.

You're still black in America.

And there's gonna be shit that they always try

to reset you to a point where it was the beginning.

Now, at that point, do you accept that

and-- and reset the button

and start all the way from scratch?

Or do you use that and push forward?

And-- and I told them that you,

now y'all have to make your own choice

if something like this happens to y'all.

Do you think they were old enough yet

-to understand that and feel it? -No, they're not old enough.

Because they're growing up as kids who got money, right?

Yeah, yeah, but they understood it

because they seen the passion in my eyes

and the way I was saying it.

So the way I talked to 'em when they knew I was talking about it,

"Listen, this is the situation that's going on in our house.

We wasn't there."

But somebody spray painted the N-word on our-- on our gate--

Yeah, but they know what that word means.

Yeah, and this is what it means.

And this is-- was the intention.

It wasn't like,

"Hey, what's up, nigga, we going to hoop?"

No, it was like,

"Nigger, get the fuck out of here."

No matter how big you can become in America,

no matter how much influence you think you've got

or do have,

when you're African American, it doesn't matter.

You're still black.

You're still black in America.

Maverick: When LeBron came into high school as a freshman,

at the beginning of his freshman year,

he was about 5'11" or six foot.

It gets cold in Ohio, so he had a winter coat.

But dog, by the time we get to March,

nigga's 6'4",

but his-- but his mom hadn't bought him no new winter coat.

So it fits like this.

-(laughter) -Can he do this?

-Maverick: He can't! (laughs) -He can't do that?

That's a fact.

-So I was like, "But he can hoop." So... -LeBron: I can hoop.
