1 小时 10 分钟I was in New Orleans about 12 years ago with my friend Rob, and we were at a restaurant with our, at the time, girlfriends, and in walks the Detroit Pistons, who at the time were ruling the NBA their best player.
Ben Wallace was a monster.
He went on to win the defensive player of the year.
On our way out, Ben Wallace's wife stopped me and she said, this is Ben Wallace and he loves Jeepers Creepers.
And I turned to Ben, who was right next to her.
He was drinking soup and just kind of staring at me.
And I said, oh, thank you so much.
We're big fans of yours and, you know, good luck this year.
We're rooting for you.
And he didn't say anything.
And I turned back to his wife and she said, he doesn't like the part where you go down the tunnel and there's a part in Jeepers Creepers where I go in, as there is in every horror movie, where you go and investigate the noise and then bad things happen.
And I said, oh, well, that's what you got to do.
And, you know, it's a horror movie.
And he finally dropped the spoon and he goes, nah, man, you shouldn't have gone down there.
And I got so nervous that I started blaming it on other people.
I said, well, you know, the writers wrote that, and the director told me to, and he just wouldn't accept that.
He was angry with me for the choice that my character made.
If you ever had any chance of making the NBA, that dream died that night.
Yeah, I stopped even trying.
Life could be a dream Life could be a dream do do do cha do chaboom.
