David Justice says his 'Moneyball' portrayal was inaccurate | All Facts No Brakes 

Should the A's stay in Oakland?

Keyshawn didn't see money ball should be the title of this video.

I didn’t know David Justice sounded like Ice-T

Had the pleasure of meeting David on multiple occasions at a large pet store I used to work at in San Diego. The first time I met him I said, “hey, you’re David Justice!” He said yes I am and we talked about baseball for a few mins. He was always incredibly nice and humble when I interacted with him and I was a nobody. Super nice guy and very respectful!

Keyshawn-if you’re interviewing someone and asking about a movie, do your homework and watch the movie beforehand!!! Basic stuff!!

Keyshawn “was the movie accurate? I didn’t see the movie” lol

I was an extra in the movie Moneyball. The actor who played David Justice couldn't throw left-handed. It was hilarious. In that key scene during the 20th game streak where the Royals are coming back, and Justice had to dig out a ball hit into the left field corner and throw it in, the actor threw it into the ground on multiple takes like Mariah Carey throwing out a first pitch. The extras like myself were laughing every time he tried to throw left handed, and eventually production gave up and had another actor swap jerseys and throw the ball in for him left-handed. It was a funny moment.

When I was a child, I loved baseball. My favorite team was the Atlanta Braves, and my favorite player was David Justice. My parents took my siblings and I down to Atlanta for the 1996 Summer Olympics. We attended two Olympic baseball games at Fulton County Stadium. (Baseball used to be an Olympic sport.) While at the game, I bought a deck of Atlanta Braves cards. After leaving the game, my family and I came across David Justice, who was with some of his friends. The rest of the Braves were on, like, a three-week-long road trip because their home stadium had been taken over by the Olympics. The only reason David Justice was still in town was because he was injured. My parents asked him if I could have his autograph. I took out my baseball card of his that I had just bought. He signed it, and, while giving it back to me, said, "There you go, my man." It was a dream come true. At that moment, I came to believe that everything you want in life will eventually turn out the way you dream it to be. I was 10 years old then; I am 38 years old now. And I now understand that life is not always that poetic. But David Justice created a memory for me that I still remember to this day. He didn't have to make any time for me. This man was once married to Halle Berry, for God's sake. Yet he gave me his time anyway. David Justice is a good person. (Not telling this story because I have any problem whatsoever with the movie "Moneyball." Just wanted to share the experience.)

Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, Barry Zito, Rich Harden, Eric Chavez, Miguel Tejada, Jermaine Dye….the movie not only doesn’t mention these guys but also trashes the scouting department who found or developed them.

Person I feel bad for is Art Howe played by the late great Philip S. Hoffman. They acted like they won in spite of him and his decisions. I understand you need your protagonist to have obstacles but don't do dirty a real life man to make one.

David Justice played forever,I dont remember anyone saying bad things about him personally,or professionally.

So he’s saying his depiction in the movie was an… InJustice?

“They always Hollywood it up.” So true… 😵‍💫

David Justice was a total gentleman in Cleveland. That portrayal in the movie couldn't be more wrong.

I prefer this key compared to the one with skip. Debating is not his strong suit. Stick to just talking sports like one of the guys. I’ll keep watching this. Debate shows are a dying industry

For somebody that said " I never saw the movie" ...sure knows a lot about the movie!!! SMH

DJ should write a book-he’s a really interesting dude…at least to someone like me (in their 40’s). I wasn’t a fan of him when he was playing but now I kinda like him.

He was my favorite player as a young Braves fan… wish they never parted.

The worst part about moneyball is that using Sabermetrics wasn’t even Billy Beane’s idea. It was the previous GMs Sandy Alderson’s idea and the had been doing it in Oakland since 1995. Beane was his protege. They make it seem like he has this awakening overnight but the team was built over the course of years. The scouting department was a big part of their success not the villains.

This is the biggest “CMON MAN!” interview. How are you going to interview this man and ask him questions about Moneyball and you haven’t even seen it? Amateur. Keyshawn….Cmon man! 🤦🏻‍♂️

DJ is still just as cool as ever. Loved watching that sweet left swing growing up!

"Keyshawn, man...first of all my mama woulda killed me if she saw me even remotely disrespect a coach or a manager or someone like that." 👍

If they don't spend money when they move to Vegas it will be a short stint there as well. So many options in Vegas. A baseball team that doesn't spend money won't be high on the options list.

David Justice was my favorite player right behind Deion Sanders.

Buck Martinez the announcer as well as player and manager of the Blue Jays debunked Moneyball in one phrase “You don’t try to get good On Base Percentage. You try to get hits and when you get hits you don’t swing at bad pitches. You draw walks.”

Keyshawn trying to be the next Shannon Sharpe while also admitting he didn’t see the movie but asks the guest about it? Lack of preparation on his part. C’mon man!

Yeah but Art Howe got it worse. They had to create some opposition for the movie. The whole theme of resisting change to the new standards doesn't quite work if everyone is on board.

David justice could rake!! I remember he was on the Yankees and he turned so quickly on a ball that it musta went from home plate to over the right field fence in what seemed like 2 seconds

Would of take 105 minutes of your life to watch the movie before the interview Keyshawn 👎

I love how Keyshawn says he never saw it. How can you be interviewing a baseball player portrayed in it and not seen it? Everyone's seen it!

never seen someone call another person by their first name as often as david justice does with keyshawn

As a child he was my fav #23 right field for the braves. When I was a teenager I went to yankee stadium with my buddy and he hit a home run the day I went when he was a Yankee. The early 90’s braves were a great team.

Key not seeing the movie is pathetic

DJ makes a great argument for team relegation in MLB. If you provide a losing product, you will lose TV revenue. Stop selling rotten apples to the fans

The size of the ball park won’t have an effect on a players success. The teams they play won’t change.

Great player. Great interview.

Huge fan of David Justice because he went to my high school. And you better believe him because it's one of the best schools in the country. He *did* bring down the college graduation rate because he played baseball lol.

I never watched the movie. I’m an Angels fan and since we won the 2002 World Series from the wildcard spot, I refuse to watch a movie about our rival A’s from 2002 that won the division and lost in the playoffs. Angels won in 2002, not the A’s. F your movie. Angels in the Outfield > any baseball movie. Go Halos. 😇

Yep. art Howe was very upset his portrayal also. He said everything Billy bean wanted to do he did. He was onboard day one but I guess the movie needed a villain.

Exactly. KEY also discussed the Ohtani Gambling situation and he didn't know all the basic facts of that case, when he was discussing it with Justice

Certainly tracks... the book can spend hundreds of pages delving into the details that a reader (even one who doesn't know baseball very well) can engage with and get the full picture, but the movie only has two hours to basically tell a story of a man versus a system along with a small market team and the challenge of winning. A lot of how the various characters were modified was designed to speed up the multi-year process into a single year timeline. The DJ "character" was probably necessary to understand how players outside the new system were adapted in. Still - great to hear Justice here talk about his actual relationship with Beane.

I'm glad they put those scenes in. Was a great movie.

Those are literally the only two scenes for him the movie

The A's do scout talent well though. Matt Chapman, Matt Olson, Marcus Semien, Sean Murphy, just in recent years and guys still relevant right now.

I wish they showed more of the pitching side of the team

Moneyball was written in a way to get Brad Pitt an Oscar nomination, and the writers didn't care what real life people were dragged through the mud or how much of reality gets thrown out the window. Pitt's Billy Beane was meant to be portrayed as a hero meeting great resistance all along the way.

Seems like David doesn’t like his portrayal in the movie, which is unfortunate. Even as portrayed, he comes across as a super smart, high quality player. And yes, great gifts at getting on base.

I never knew David Justice and Sid Justice of the WWE were brothers.

Absolutely love both Keyshawn and David - great interview! BTW Moneyball is still an awesome movie

David Justice staying up late watching SportCenter, Haley Berry in the background "come to bed" he replies " in a minute "...

Keyshawn:, knows nothing about anything outside of football. Tiki Barber on WFAN New York: talks about football, baseball, basketball, hockey, even throws a few WWE & Nascar references! As a result enjoyable to listen to rather than these so called professional mainstream journalists

"Based on" means exactly that, based on. It gives broad artistic leverage to stretch the facts. "I didn't see it", great preparation as usual Key. Even 10 minutes of RU-vid clips would have given some good insight.

Sooo. Did they win the whole thing? Sounds like they were world champs with Scott hattiburg. No mention of mulder zito, or Hudson.

A's will not spend money with the ownership group they have now. They might spend a little once they get to a new city to drum up some excitement but will revert back to their old ways to make easy money with little risk.

I’ve said it a million times since Money Ball was released… it was absolutely bullsht! I mean they just conveniently left out the fact that the A’s had MLB’s best pitching staff (Zitto, Mulder & Hudson), 1 of MLB’s best bullpens, an MLB MVP in his prime @ SS, a top 7 or 8 3rd baseman, a All Star in RF (J.Dye), Dave Justice in LF, pretty A’s 2nd baseman led MLB in steals that yr plus he won a gold glove etc etc but the movie makes it seem as if the entire roster was full of scrubs that no other team wanted… absolute bullsht! That particular A’s roster was absolutely stacked compared to the avg MLB roster!

Moneyball, the movie, barely references that the A's had Barry Zito, Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder leading their pitching staff. Miguel Tejada was MVP. Eric Chavez drove in 109 runs. Yeah sure, the decision to put Scott Hatteburg at first base made them a 103-win team. Pretty much a work of fiction.

David "Ice-T" Justice

How can we call this the all facts pod when we ask questions about movies the host hasn’t even seen

Nice hat!

That actor does look just like him tbh

"I didn't see the movie" What? That's malpractice for someone in his position.

How can you bring up a movie you didn't watch?

Based on true events is a loose term. Keyword is based.

I’m going to interview an athlete discussing a portrayal of his likeness in a movie and not watch the movie prior to the interview. Was Key waiting for the book release or something? 😂 🤣

I’m not a baseball guy and I really enjoyed the movie, Moneyball. However, all the people I know who are “serious” about baseball didn’t care for it. Even my father, who actually use to play Triple A ball way back in the late fifties to early sixties, didn’t care for the movie. I’m thinking, it’s because the movie tried to simplify the game too much? I don’t know. But again, I enjoyed the film.

Literally EVERYONE'S portrayal in Moneyball was inaccurate 😂

Based on true events.. means a fictitious retelling of the story

I didn’t get that impression of him from the movie. It was more shock at the level of the team impoverishment than anything 😂

I remember watching Moneyball back in the day & thinking i bet David Justice hates his portrayal.

David Justice was also married to Halle Berry, who is a lot to deal with in a relationship. That's why she's been divorced 3 times.

Of course he gonna say that. Not like he wants to everyone to know that he was an old hasbin diva at end of his career.

Why is no one on the comments bringing up the David Justice is a Bengals fan?!?!?!

there wouldn't be a movie if they didn't embellish the story. the point was that the As were successful that year using a system that valued players a different way from tradition....

Lol, the way the A's attendance is, they'd be lucky to fill a 10k seat stadium.

this is totally something the David justice from the movie would do and say. of course he would deny everything

How can you ask a question and never see the movie?

Justice is right, the biggest problem with the A’s is and has always been ownership. LV is just a grift maybe the first few years they will draw but then after that they will just be the Marlins in the desert. That is also assuming they end up in Vegas, with how many failures this ownership has had it wouldn’t surprise me if they just end up stuck in Sacramento. I would bet the NBA ends up in LV before the A’s.

How has Keshawn not seen money all before this interview

Doesn’t look anywhere near 58

That’s exactly what Moneyball David Justice would say.

I didn’t know Keyshawn looks like big papi

Moneyball the book vs Moneyball the movie are way different things.

“I didn’t see the movie.” What?!

I was today years old when I learned David Justice didnt play himself in Moneyball

Players leave every year for a new city with no comments. Why shouldn’t cities be able to

Why you keep saying “Keyshawn”? He’s sitting right there…

Sounds like DL Hughley.

David Justice lowkey sounds like Sharp if he ever talked calmly lol

Sutter Health Park holds about 14,000.

How does Hollywood keep getting away with BS portrayal? Isn't that illegal?

Moneyball doesn’t even portray moneyball the book correctly.

DJ missed the point of the entire movie. Even though he is right. Coach art and the Grady character were portrayed terribly as well. Still a fantastic movie.

This hurts the movie a little bit.

Ya! The movie is vastly different than the book. That’s what Hollywood does.

It is based on s true story. 2002 was a year and the Oakland Athletics were a baseball team.

Oakland A's Forever!!

The thing that makes people like Keyshawn a not serious media person is that he couldn't watch a 2 hour movie in preparation for his guest who he probably knew was coming on for months.

He was my hero with the Braves.

David justice sounds like katt Williams

There are more things wrong with this movie than there are right. People forget that the A's Made the playoffs again in 2002 only to get bounced out by the Red Sox, but that was because Miguel Tejada and Eric Byrnes forgot how to run the bases and Ken Macha pinch hit for Jermaine Dye with a back up catcher with the bases loaded and no one out in the bottom of the 9th and down by a run.
