Speaker 3: sacrifices and I knew that, you know, this is what
Speaker 3: I wanted to do. And you know, I didn't really
Speaker 3: have a plan. B it was a basketball or nothing.
Speaker 3: So for me, you know, I sent my whole basically
Speaker 3: childhood to it. You know, I was up early, you know,
Speaker 3: getting the workouts, you know, stawn up late, making sure.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm focusing on my dad at a young age,

Speaker 3: You know who is the good of our generation. You know,
Speaker 3: he's been playing in the league ever since I was born,
Speaker 3: so you know, to go up against him, you know,
Speaker 3: probably paid him probably ten times now. My career is
Speaker 3: so especially, you know, to play in such a high
Speaker 3: caliber player like him. But every night is someone different.
Speaker 3: You know, there's just great players and every team and
