So we live in a generation people, you
know, they escape to social media or
substance abuse or god for things that
are worse than that. Person has to look
to put to put the pain somewhere. Yeah.
Like an outlet. An outlet. So basketball
was my outlet. So one day I'm playing
basketball. I was getting very
aggressive, angry, not really knowing
where it's coming from. I don't know how
to place it. I had a channel. So I'm
playing basketball and I tell the kid,
you know, I probably missed a shot.
Missed a shot. I said, "I'm going to
kill you." Just I I was probably upset
at the kid. Maybe he pushed me or
something. I'm going to kill you. By us,
that's like a normal thing you say. You
tell the guy I'm going to kill you. You
know, it's a normal thing. I'll kill
you. Oh wow. He thought I was going to
kill him. Oh wow. So he went to the man
and he said, "Look, Mo Proctor says he's
going to kill me." Oh my gosh. He's
going to kill me. Now the man took me
into his office, sat me down. And to
those viewers who know of uh who like
basketball, into basketball, who know
there was something called Malice at the
Palace. You can look it up. Malice at
the Palace, which was when the two
basketball teams were playing against
each other. This was, I think, the early
2000s, where the players got so heated
that the game went into the stands and
they started, you know, and fans started
throwing beers and food at the players
and they started punching. It was not
much a crazy brawl. And so this manal
showed me a clip of this brawl, of this
fight. Wow. Probably to calm me down, to
give me a little a little smile and say
it's okay. But probably trying to, you
know, to to get that point inside of me,
you know, that I'm feeling aggression.
I'm feeling it's so like you have a
place for it. Like it's real. It's okay.
I understand it.
