Trofie,
I’m sure many of you have been hearing rumours lately — about me, about the future of this team, and that’s what I’d like to talk to you about today. Five years ago when I started with the Milwaukee Bucks, I knew the day would eventually come when I’d be moving on. It’s truly with a heavy heart that I tell you that day is here.
Thank you for that and for your years of incredible loyalty and admiration. The point is though, that under MJs leadership, along with Boomslick and Tyler moving into key management positions, this place is gonna be better than ever! And the fact that I’m gone won’t stop me from giving MJ advice, not that he needs any…
Before I go, there’s something I want to remind you all, and that’s the – Milwaukee Bucks are bigger than any one person, even me. Especially me. You guys are the Milwaukee bucks , each and every one of you, and that is why it’s sure to remain the best SIM team in the fucking world!
See, the very idea of Milwaukee is that when you come here and step onto this court for the first time, you start your life anew. You have a place here and no one can take that away from you! The Bucks are America! Give me your tired and poor Kyle Hines!
The very moment you walk through that door and pledge your loyalty to this team, you become part of a family, you become a Milwaukeeite ! It doesn’t matter who you are, it doesn’t matter where you’re from! Whether your family came over on the Mayflower or on a fucking inner tube from the Clippers!
Everybody here knows Antonio Gates, right?
In case any of you weren’t aware of it, Antonio was one of Milwaukees first good players , one of the two. Now when most of you met Antonio, you met him the way he is today – a beautiful man who drives a brand new Mercedes. A man who lives in the finest condo complex in Milwaukee. A man who wears $3,000 Armani suits, who spends his winters on the courts and his summers in the Hamptons!
But that’s not the Antonio I met. The Antonio I met was broke. A single dad on the balls of his ass. Three months behind on his rent with an eight-year-old son. HE came to me from Miami and when I traded for him he asked for a $5,000 dollar advance so he could pay his Mercedes loan. And what did I do, Antonio?
Antonio
You wrote me a check for $25,000!
Trofie
Because I believed in you. Like I believe in each and every one of you!
Antonio
I love you, Trofie!

You know for years I’ve been telling you guys not to take no for an answer, to keep pushing, to not play defense ‘til you get what you want. This deal I’m about to sign, barring me from winning in the playoffs, barring me from Milwaukee, my home… What the fuck is that? I’ll tell you what it is, it’s me being a hypocrite. It’s me taking no for an answer. It’s them selling me, not the other way around!
[dramatic pause]
You know what? I’m not leaving. I’m not leaving… I’m not fucking leaving!
THE SHOW GOES ON!
