Z-Bo: “What’s something that you know now that you would take more seriously in the NBA, if you were playing then?”

Cauley-Stein: “I think being a politician. When we talk about the business of basketball, I was a hooper, I wasn’t a businessman.”

“And I think that’s the thing that I regret most: not staying at them little parties.”

Tony Allen: “Talking to the front-row people.”

Cauley-Stein: “Yeah, talking to the people, ‘cause I needed those relationships…”

“Those are the things that you miss too, cultivating those relationships, to set yourself up and your family up after it’s gone, ‘cause I took that for granted.”

“I’m [still] on my prime, 32, should still be playing. My house is foreclosed on, living month to month. So that sh*t matters.”

Prime Dwight was a top 5 player in the NBA from 2009-2012, was the best defender and rebounder in the NBA and on offense was averaging more than 20. He led the Magic to the finals in 2009 and the conference finals in 2010 as the clear best player on the team. He won 3 straight DPOYs from 2009-2011, made 5 straight all-NBA first teams from 2008-2012. Meanwhile compare that to Carmelo who only won 3 playoff series his whole career, was a terrible defender and inefficient scorer that didn't like to pass. Carmelo and Lillard in their primes were never top 5 players like Dwight.

Monster Kody: Why did the Death Row crew zero in on you that night at the MGM?

Orlando: I really don’t know why. I don’t even know them

Monster Kody: Who pushed you first?

Orlando: Actually, I think it was Tupac

Monster Kody: What did he say when he first stepped to you?

Orlando: I don’t really think he said anything. It happened so fast. All I felt was a swarm

Monster Kody: You didn’t recognize nobody else? Did you recognize Suge?

Orlando: I seen him on the videotape later

Monster Kody: Where we from in Compton, our first instinct – after beeing assaulted, insulted, shoe stepped on – is to respond. Did you feel calling your peeps?

Orlando: Me and my brother ain’t like that. I was just scared because I done heard so much about these guys. It was, like, Damn, what did I do?

Monster Kody: So you are not a Southside Crip?

Orlando: No

Monster Kody: Are you affiliated with the Southside Crips?

Orlando: No. I ain’t no gang member. I know a lot of people; I grew up with a lot of people; I went to school with a lot of people.

Monster Kody: So, nobody in your immediate family bangs?

Orlando: My brothers? Naw.

Monster Kody: Besides your brothers?

Orlando: Well, y’knowhamsayin’, there’s my uncle and them.

Monster Kody: The police said that they raided a Southside hangout, and there were guns there and a diploma on the wall with your name on it. Yet you said you lived next door.

[Anderson’s lawyer writes on a yellow notepad and pushes it toward him] I’m not gonna answer that. Cambell: The affidavit is full of fiction. There is nothing in there that’s independently corroborated. We don’t know why that particular Compton police officer wrote it, but it’s full of lies.

Monster Kody: It was reported that you were bragging about whacking Makaveli.

Orlando: [Shakes his head; no response]

Monster Kody: Do they call you Baby Lane? Orlando: Some People call me that.

Monster Kody: When I was in jail with Suge Knight, he said, “Baby Lane did it.” How do you respond to this guy’s saying you were the shooter?

Orlando: I really don’t know why Suge would say something like that. I don’t even know Suge. Campbell: As far as we’re concerned, whatever Suge Knight is saying, he’s saying for gis own gain. We’ve also named him in the lawsuit. There is no evidence against Orlando. If they would do a proper investigation, they would very likely find out who killed Tupac.

Monster Kody: On the stand, you said Suge was not involved in your beating, that he tried to stop it. Now you’re naming him in the lawsuit for participating in your beating.

Orlando: At the time, I was fearing for my life.

Monster Kody: You were fearing Suge’s camp? Death Row People?

Campbell: we don’t want to comment on whom he was fearing. Monster Kody: Aren’t you worried about perjury charges? Campbell: Even at the time [Orlando] testified, the judge was very skeptical. People say what they need to say if their safety is threatened.

Monster Kody: Why change the story now? Are you less scared?

Campbell: No, it’s not that. Orlando was advised by his lawyers that if he was going to bring this lawsuit, then he would need to bring it now. He suffered injuries; he has damages that he wants to collect on. Orlando: I was kicked in my head, and I was bleeding out of my ear. My hands right here were swollen.

Monster Kody: How do you feel about Tupac’s mother filing this countersuit against you?

Orlando: That’s nonsense to me. Campbell: That was done solely in response to the lawsuit we filed. Her lawsuit has absolutely no basis.

Monster Kody: You were on “America’s Most Wanted”. Have you had any troubles because you were named as a suspect in Tupac’s killing?

Orlando: I’ve been threatened a lot.

Monster Kody: How has this altered your life? Orlando: I just stay in the house all the time.

Monster Kody: Why don’t you just get vested an heated an continue to do your things? Life goes on. Even ‘Pac himself said it.

Orlando: I ain’t that type of person. I’ll just put it in the Lord’s hands.

Monster Kody: Did anybody ever tell you that you were very much resemble Tupac?

Orlando: Yeah, a couple of people have told me that.

Monster Kody: Do you feel any resentment toward Tupac’s spirit, like, Look at what the hell you done got me into?

Orlando: I think like that all the time, wondering why. Not only put me through a lot of stuff but put my family through a lot of stuff too.

Monster Kody: So, you have lost passion for Tupac’s music? Do you still listen to him?

Orlando: Yeah, I still listen to his music.

Monster Kody: Because you feel him?

Orlando: Yeah. To me he was like the Marvin Gaye of rap. If he was to come out with some new music, I’m still about his music.

Monster Kody: Do you have a favorite ‘Pac song?

Orlando: All Eyez on Me

Monster Kody: Especially now, huh? What do you wish at this particular juncture in your life?

Orlando: I wish they would find who did it so I can prove my innocence.
