Speaker 1: six Ers shooting guard Forward Furkon Corkmise. Furkon has become
Speaker 1: a key player among the seventy Sixers reserves. His three
Speaker 1: point shooting has played a big part in the team's
Speaker 1: success so far this season. Corkmiles at a corner. He
Speaker 1: receives it, he dribbles, he shoots, he's open, it's in
Speaker 1: the air. He good. He makes him at point four ago,
Speaker 1: the Sixers have tied in at ninety three. Corkmis grew
Speaker 1: up in Turkey and at fifteen years old started earning
Speaker 1: a paycheck to play basketball. He sits down to talk
Speaker 1: about that and more on Tom's Talks. Well, Furkon, thanks
Speaker 1: for doing this and welcome to what we call Tom's
Speaker 1: Talks my podcast. I'm sure it was nice to have
Speaker 1: a day off yesterday after a bit of a busy
Speaker 1: stretch to restart the season. Finitely, we got some recovery time.
Speaker 1: As you said, nice off day. How would you assess
Speaker 1: or describe the season in general terms, a new coach,
Speaker 1: some new teammates, the restrictions, the testing, the discipline it
Speaker 1: takes to go through this season. How would you describe
Speaker 1: all that? I think I want to start from last
Speaker 1: year from Orlando, we said all new game. You know,
Speaker 1: I think this year was all new game for the Sixers,
Speaker 1: for the organization. We had like similar phases, similar players,
Speaker 1: but like I think overall we had a total different
Speaker 1: culture this year. You know that came in. He changed
Speaker 1: a lot that Murray. You know, a lot of new
Speaker 1: people in the organization. I've been here for four years,
Speaker 1: but I've seen a lot of phases. I think overall
Speaker 1: this year is going well for us. I gotta be honest, like,
Speaker 1: I think we did a really good job until we
Speaker 1: lost against me what you were in the first seed.
Speaker 1: You know, things happened. Of course we're gonna lose some games.
Speaker 1: We can not in every game, every games, but overall
Speaker 1: really good. I think we have a really good chemistry
Speaker 1: on the court of the court. We have a really
Speaker 1: good friendship in the team. And you can tell in
Speaker 1: the games too. You know, we are more connected, we
Speaker 1: have a better team, better fit. The fourth quarters have
Speaker 1: been really good and I know you lost that Milwaukee game,
Speaker 1: but you know when you go back to your the
Speaker 1: game in Portland, which feels like years ago, but you
Speaker 1: hit the game winning shot November two and twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: you hit the game time shot. The force over time
Speaker 1: has to feel good to ab in those positions and
Speaker 1: then b to be able to deliver for your team.
Speaker 1: It was a lot because for me, you know, because
Speaker 1: it was a similar position, and at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, we couldn't really celebrate it. You know, when
Speaker 1: I go back home, I was a little bit like
Speaker 1: my heartbart broken because we couldn't celebrate it. I made
Speaker 1: the tree, but at the end of the day, we
Speaker 1: lost the game. But I think overall, Mewike is really
Speaker 1: good team. I think for ourself, we did a really
Speaker 1: good job keeping them off the glass. We take everything
Speaker 1: away from them and that second health and they just
Speaker 1: get into rhythm. We couldn't stop them, and then we
Speaker 1: couldn't show our chem city for the second health. But
Speaker 1: of course end of today we played that second health.
Speaker 1: But if we had a chance to win the game,
Speaker 1: I think that makes us a good team. You know,
Speaker 1: we knew that we got a chance, and then we
Speaker 1: could win it. I think this is the possible part.
Speaker 1: But you were able to celebrate after that game winning
Speaker 1: shot in Portland. Like I said, it was early in
Speaker 1: the season, a year ago. It was November second, and
Speaker 1: you make the game winning shot, your teammates surround you.
Speaker 1: What was that feeling? Like that was one of the memories.
Speaker 1: I felt like, Okay, now I'm part of part of
Speaker 1: this league. You know, because when I was growing up,
Speaker 1: I was of course thinking about like scoring twenty points,
Speaker 1: thirty points in a game. But there's not a better
Speaker 1: moment than winning the game, you know, making the game
Speaker 1: meaning shots. That was all my dream. I was dreaming
Speaker 1: about it. And then that feels just like different. I
Speaker 1: know it was the Summer League, but you had that
Speaker 1: forty point game against Boston in twenty eighteen, the first
Speaker 1: Summer League game, and it was one of the best
Speaker 1: performances ever scoring wise out there, and you scored in
Speaker 1: a variety of ways. I mean, sometimes people think you're
Speaker 1: just to catch and shoot. Guy, did that help? I
Speaker 1: know it was rookie, I mean Summer League, But did
Speaker 1: that helped establish your confidence to go in the NBA
Speaker 1: and score like that? Yeah? Definitely, Because Smer League is
Speaker 1: kind of getting ready for the league. Everybody's watching you
Speaker 1: old EISO or you know, when the teams they scut you.
Speaker 1: They know everything what you can do, but sometimes you
Speaker 1: do the things which they don't expect you to do,
Speaker 1: and then that makes you look different, That makes you
Speaker 1: makes different on the court, that game of force confidence.
Speaker 1: During the summers, I'm playing with the national team. That's
Speaker 1: also helped me getting the rhythm, get in the shape
Speaker 1: before the season starts. So I think those summer leagues
Speaker 1: and national teams was hug part of me getting in
Speaker 1: this process. And then your best back to back games
Speaker 1: were last year. He had thirty four career high against
Speaker 1: Memphis and thirty one against Chicago. To do it back
Speaker 1: to back had to be pretty good as well, right, Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: I can. I can say that I was feeling really good.
Speaker 1: I was feeling it and we were winning. You know,
Speaker 1: if we were rolling on that time, that also makes
Speaker 1: it more valuable for you because sometimes you score, you
Speaker 1: celebrated your own, but you don't in the game. You know,
Speaker 1: that's kind of tricky, But when you play good when
Speaker 1: your team winning, it's it's totally different. Fun. Let's go
Speaker 1: back a little bit you grew up in Turkey and
Speaker 1: you start playing basketball when you're like nine years old,
Speaker 1: But when you're fifteen and br us in America explain
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you joined the FI program and
Speaker 1: you become a player, but you're with your their youth
Speaker 1: and junior team. And the number associated with that was
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand. So do you start getting
Speaker 1: paid when you're fifteen years old even though you're on
Speaker 1: a junior team. I was getting paid. I was also
Speaker 1: surprised because when I was playing as a kid, I
Speaker 1: was not thinking about the like professional contracts, those moneys.
Speaker 1: You know, money was not even like subject for us.
Speaker 1: And then my agent. I met with the agent, his
Speaker 1: name is Attila, and then he said, is offering you
Speaker 1: this money? You know? And I was like, fifteen, and
Speaker 1: you can go play for the same or team you
Speaker 1: can get paid. But my team was like I was
Speaker 1: playing for fun. I was not really thinking about professional
Speaker 1: From that point on, I was like, Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make money from this job, you know. I started looking
Speaker 1: at his job, and then the life was all different
Speaker 1: for me because in the same time, you gotta deal
Speaker 1: with the school, you know, you gotta go to college,
Speaker 1: do this whole stuff. The European system was a little
Speaker 1: different than here because it's hard to handle college and
Speaker 1: professional life, I would say, and that's how the story goes.
Speaker 1: What was life like in Turkey growing up until, like,
Speaker 1: for example, to fifteen years old? What your parents do?
Speaker 1: What was your town like? What was like like my parents?
Speaker 1: My mom was Hope's wife all the time. After she
Speaker 1: got married, she stopped working. But my dad, I remember him.
Speaker 1: He was like waking up at like five thirty six
Speaker 1: am in the morning. He was coming back home like
Speaker 1: eleven pm and then three or four hours sleep again,
Speaker 1: go back to work. You know, he was like really
Speaker 1: working hard. I really appreciate him. When I was growing up,
Speaker 1: I see that his hard work and then makes me more.
Speaker 1: I appreciated what I got right now. And after I
Speaker 1: started playing basketball like a professionally, you know, after I
Speaker 1: get a contract, life a little change because everybody was
Speaker 1: all my kids, all my friends on the streets. Those
Speaker 1: kids they were playing on the street, you know, they
Speaker 1: were playing soccer. But I need to come back home,
Speaker 1: I need to rest, you know again, wake up in
Speaker 1: the morning. Practice. I was not like visiting my family
Speaker 1: friends anymore, you know, not playing those games anymore because
Speaker 1: I gotta take care of my body. I gotta be professional,
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta do practice three hours, five hours,
Speaker 1: eight hours whatever, go to school. At the same time,
Speaker 1: I had more responsibility when I was fifteen than dollars kids,
Speaker 1: So I was amadable. You're six seven. Where do you
Speaker 1: think you got your height from? I mean, I'm still
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. You know, I don't know
Speaker 1: yet too. But my dad is not that tall. He's told,
Speaker 1: but not that tall. My mom is also, she's like
Speaker 1: a little bit maybe over average. But I don't have
Speaker 1: like short family, but not like tall family. Too. Worked
Speaker 1: out for you, right, So you mentioned, you know, playing
Speaker 1: when you were fifteen, So then one of the big
Speaker 1: things was playing like the Euro the FIBA euro tournaments,
Speaker 1: the U eighteens, and you won the gold in fourteen
Speaker 1: and fifteen you come back and get a silver and
Speaker 1: we can talk about the international competitions with the Turkish
Speaker 1: national team. But just this young player to play with
Speaker 1: the best people in your country and compete across Europe
Speaker 1: in those tournaments and then to win it that one year,
Speaker 1: what was that like? I think the national team gives
Speaker 1: you a lot, you know, I think teaches you more competition,
Speaker 1: how to be competitive, you know, because in the national
Speaker 1: team level, every team is good, Like doesn't matter who
Speaker 1: you have on the team. Every team is competing, every
Speaker 1: team is representing their country. So the competition is more valuable.
Speaker 1: And it's also a kind of a little bit show
Speaker 1: business tips because you are representing yourself too. All the
Speaker 1: scouting scouts are watching. And I remember one summer I
Speaker 1: played for the three different national teams, like saying, your
Speaker 1: team under nineteen, under twenty whatever, like three different championships,
Speaker 1: and then that helps me a lot to get experience more,
Speaker 1: to learn again more and then make my name more,
Speaker 1: you know, and also I represent my country. I was
Speaker 1: like one of the maybe like this guy to play
Speaker 1: like three different categories. So then when you start playing
Speaker 1: with EPs, you know, with the big guys, and you
Speaker 1: make that transition, you're one of the best young players.
Speaker 1: You were voting the best young player. What was that
Speaker 1: transition like where now you are playing with men and
Speaker 1: you're playing professional basketball. All that time when I was
Speaker 1: playing for the FS, I didn't think I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: enough enough chance, enough opportunity with the FS. Then I
Speaker 1: told I got to make some decisions. You know, I
Speaker 1: got a site to phrase something. And then I told
Speaker 1: my agent, like I need to play. I gotta go
Speaker 1: somewhere else, you know, to play, because I knew that
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play that anymore, just like three or
Speaker 1: five minutes. Sometimes that's not gonna be enough for me too,
Speaker 1: if I want to make an NBA. And then we
Speaker 1: decided to go to bomb it, and then the trade happened.
Speaker 1: I went to bombit and I got my maybe career year.
Speaker 1: You know that four or five months makes me different players.
Speaker 1: I grow up more. I learned the game more because
Speaker 1: as a young player, you are playing. Yes, you are
Speaker 1: playing the game, but you don't know the game. It's
Speaker 1: differently they play and you know the game. Right now,
Speaker 1: when I have the ball, I feel like I have
Speaker 1: ten seconds to decide, you know, But when you when
Speaker 1: you are as a kid, you feel like I just
Speaker 1: once to decide. I think that's the experience comes in.
Speaker 1: You were drafted in twenty sixteen by the Sixers with
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth pick, but you opted to stay. What
Speaker 1: was that decision like to stay in Europe? And then
Speaker 1: also when you made the decision to come to Philadelphia
Speaker 1: and start your NBA career. To be honest, the reason
Speaker 1: that I stayed I didn't feel ready to come into NBA.
Speaker 1: You know, on the court, off the court, I just
Speaker 1: didn't feel ready. I don't think my body was ready
Speaker 1: to even like when I got the NBA, my body
Speaker 1: was still not ready. I knew that. But here things
Speaker 1: that are going quickly. You have a lot of time
Speaker 1: individually for the workouts. You know, you can improve yourself more.
Speaker 1: That was one of the reasons that I came the
Speaker 1: following year. I came here the following year because I thought,
Speaker 1: here three or four months, it is going to be
Speaker 1: really good enough for me to get my body right,
Speaker 1: you know, to get used to the league. You know.
Speaker 1: Injuries happened, everything happened. I got a little bad luck.
Speaker 1: But at the end of today, I think everything worked
Speaker 1: out when you came here. Any and now, have you
Speaker 1: found a community or a group of friends that has
Speaker 1: allowed you to have a life outside basketball When you're
Speaker 1: away from the court and training, you're in Turks community
Speaker 1: or any kind of community, friends your age people in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Anytime I met a couple of Turks guys, you know
Speaker 1: I met also like good neighborhoods. You know, I got
Speaker 1: good neighbors. Like doesn't matter what time or what do
Speaker 1: you lieve you are, you are making friends. If you
Speaker 1: are good people, you are making friends. And I think
Speaker 1: I'm a good people. You know, I find right people,
Speaker 1: and I think I'm good at that picking up those
Speaker 1: good friends. Because sometimes but here a lot of people
Speaker 1: around you, that doesn't mean you are really good people,
Speaker 1: you know. I think that's the decision sometimes you're gonna make.
Speaker 1: Also as athletes, because our life is our time is
Speaker 1: important too. You know you're gonna spend your time. You
Speaker 1: gotta take every buddy. You gotta find their balance. I
Speaker 1: think I find it really well now. I know it's
Speaker 1: a little different now with the pandemic, but getting out
Speaker 1: and about in Philadelphia. But do you get recognized when
Speaker 1: you're on the streets to Philadelphia? Yeah, I do. I do.
Speaker 1: I do. Like you're a fan favorite a little bit, right,
Speaker 1: Do you feel that vibe? I mean I feel that
Speaker 1: after my first two years, it was a little different scenario.
Speaker 1: But the last two years, yeah, it's totally different. Makes
Speaker 1: you feel good, right, Yeah, it makes me feel good
Speaker 1: of course, you know. I like it. Fans you are
Speaker 1: really special. I mean, even though it's not full capacity.
Speaker 1: The other night we saw the Gamut. They were in
Speaker 1: love and then all of a sudden Das sits on
Speaker 1: the court and boom, they were all over that. I mean,
Speaker 1: they don't miss a beat here in Philadelphia do that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The point that I recognize is Philip fans are bad.
Speaker 1: When you start missing a couple of shots over, when
Speaker 1: you play bad the offense, they start booing here you know,
Speaker 1: then okay, here they come. You know, right now you're sad.
Speaker 1: I mean not that you're sensitive, but like you say,
Speaker 1: you're out there and if you're feeling them, definitely that
Speaker 1: makes it gives us a lot of energy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely are feeling them. There really is like supporting. Here's
Speaker 1: like city of support, city of brother in love, you know,
Speaker 1: city of competition. So if they want to see the competition,
Speaker 1: they want to see that blood on the court, you know, right.
Speaker 1: Speaking of support, Ben Simmons, your teammate was very supportive
Speaker 1: and endorsing you, saying that you could play or you know,
Speaker 1: one on one unstoppable, even better than Novitsky. That must
Speaker 1: have made you feel good. Yeah, definitely you're not buying that.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you know how folks Dirk Novisky,
Speaker 1: but you have that, like what That's one of the
Speaker 1: things I like about your game, like you you do.
Speaker 1: You have the little floaters. You've really worked on that
Speaker 1: that bring different aspects to your offensive repertoire, if you
Speaker 1: will talk about that. Yeah, sometimes when people knows what
Speaker 1: you can do, you gotta do something different because after
Speaker 1: a couple of games, even like us, let me scot
Speaker 1: somebody if you know, like his Kitchen Should, he shows
Speaker 1: doable off to balance whatever, So they're taking those away,
Speaker 1: you know, the defference are working on it, and then
Speaker 1: you're gonna find some solutions to create something for yourself
Speaker 1: because sometimes the game is not coming to you. Gotta
Speaker 1: go get it, and sometimes the game is just finding you.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to find like my rhythm of my midrange,
Speaker 1: my flotters. Again, I know, I think I'm really good
Speaker 1: like it Kitchen Should. But I'm trying to do some
Speaker 1: pi can all stuff this year, especially with the second unit.
Speaker 1: You know me and Shake, we're handling the ball more
Speaker 1: than last year. I think there's biggest difference for me
Speaker 1: this year speaking of shake and the second unit. During
Speaker 1: this recent sixth game winning streak, you guys were just
Speaker 1: so good and a lot that. I mean, the fortunes
Speaker 1: of the team may reflect on how well you guys
Speaker 1: are able to continue to score. And I know it's pressure,
Speaker 1: but that is pressure. Pressure is part of the NBA.
Speaker 1: Talk about that and how well you guys have been
Speaker 1: able to produce up late off the bench. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: pressure on every game. Like you said, there's pressure the
Speaker 1: game of pressure, you know an NBA. And with the seconde,
Speaker 1: I'm saying this every time we have a really good potential,
Speaker 1: Like defensively we can't be a really good too. I
Speaker 1: don't think people knows that enough. But defensively we can
Speaker 1: be really good too, because why this big part of
Speaker 1: matiz is a really big part of defense. I think
Speaker 1: it's really helpful in offense the same way, like if
Speaker 1: you can play like less five six games, the same way,
Speaker 1: if you can keep it up, I think we gotta
Speaker 1: be really dangerous for the teams because you know, if
Speaker 1: you know our first year that they're gonna do that
Speaker 1: at a job. Sometimes when they're down, we're gonna pick
Speaker 1: them up. Sometimes when we are down, they gotta pick
Speaker 1: up us. So it's like a little bit weird, but
Speaker 1: I think overall we have like really good fit. I
Speaker 1: want to go back to that thing about pressure a
Speaker 1: little bit, because I don't think sometimes the average fan
Speaker 1: realizes what it's like to be a professional player. They
Speaker 1: see the salaries, they see you private jets, traveling around
Speaker 1: the country and in your case, around the world. But
Speaker 1: it's from your coach, it's from your teammates, it's from
Speaker 1: I mean, the pressure to execute and produce comes from
Speaker 1: all sides. The fans speak to that a little bit.
Speaker 1: How you deal with it, I will say this, it's
Speaker 1: a little bit changing from team to teams because we
Speaker 1: are playing for the championship, Like there is no better
Speaker 1: pressure than this. You know, every game is so important
Speaker 1: for us. Every position as matters, like we see as
Speaker 1: we saw last night. You know two nights ago we
Speaker 1: lost the game by like two or three points. You know,
Speaker 1: every position matters. Just one free to row, one tags doctor,
Speaker 1: which he's saying this every time, like positions matter, it's
Speaker 1: going to come and hunt you. And that happens in
Speaker 1: the NBA every game. Every positions matter. So let's bring
Speaker 1: the pressure because you know, you've got to do the
Speaker 1: right decision on the positions because it's not the end
Speaker 1: of the game. It's going to come and hunt you.
Speaker 1: And I think overall people when they're looking from outside,
Speaker 1: we travel. Like you said, you know, we have been
Speaker 1: living in the good hotel. But in the same time,
Speaker 1: you've got to take care of your buddy. You gotta recover.
Speaker 1: You cannot go eat every time. You know, you gotta rest,
Speaker 1: you're gonna sleep. You need to be professional. You gotta
Speaker 1: be good in the team. You know, when you play bad,
Speaker 1: over when you play good, you cannot really change because
Speaker 1: another day is coming, another game is coming. So it's
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure too. With that in mind, you
Speaker 1: guys are going to begin a stretch starting over the
Speaker 1: weekend as we speak. You know, you play at home
Speaker 1: and then you go to New York and then you're
Speaker 1: gonna be out west for that entire week. You're gonna
Speaker 1: come back. Actually, you have a game in Cleveland at
Speaker 1: the end of a West coast trip which I've only
Speaker 1: seen once where you have another game tacked on. But
Speaker 1: you come home, you play Memphis, and then you go
Speaker 1: to Boston, New Orleans, Dallas, Oklahoma. It's a stretch, if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. That's like twenty of twenty three days away,
Speaker 1: and I know you got to take it one game
Speaker 1: at a time, but you really have to get yourself
Speaker 1: geared up and ready mentally, physically everything. You just spoke
Speaker 1: about taking care of your body and all that. That's
Speaker 1: quite a stretched coming up if you thought about that
Speaker 1: going forward a little bit. Yeah, like you said, for example,
Speaker 1: playing in the West Coast is a different game, So
Speaker 1: you've gotta be focused because I think in West Coast
Speaker 1: game is more faster than you expect. I think in
Speaker 1: East Coast like games a little bit more slower. But
Speaker 1: in West Coast everybody's like pushing the ball. You know,
Speaker 1: they're trying to play hard, and you just gotta go
Speaker 1: and get the game like that's it. You just gotta
Speaker 1: go out there and then let them know that we
Speaker 1: are here to win all these games. You're not letting
Speaker 1: we are not getting an off days here. If we
Speaker 1: are not here for vacations, you're just we're not here
Speaker 1: for a good better you know, we are just here
Speaker 1: for the win the game. And when you come back
Speaker 1: to the East Coast again again, it's gonna be the
Speaker 1: same mentality, same goal for us, and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: more and more important because every game is gonna be
Speaker 1: metal at the end of the game and at the
Speaker 1: end of the day. Because playoff is on the door already,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be so quick. And then when we
Speaker 1: close and close our eyes and you open it, you
Speaker 1: gotta say, Okay, here's the first game of playoffs. Let's go.
Speaker 1: We gotta play. So it's gonna be so quick. Last thought,
Speaker 1: but what do you do? I'm sure you have to
Speaker 1: do communicate with the watsapp or back home, and what
Speaker 1: do you do during your downtime, Like do you play
Speaker 1: video games? Do you read? How do you occupy your time?
Speaker 1: And how do you stay in touch with your friends
Speaker 1: and family back home? In Turkey, I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: a little bit of meditation, you know, just to be calm,
Speaker 1: just to take that stress away a little bit. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to read, I'm trying to watch some TVs, TV shows,
Speaker 1: some movies. It's hard to communicate with Turkeys sometimes because
Speaker 1: what I would we do during today when I go
Speaker 1: back home, like three four pm, it's almost like tem
Speaker 1: pm eleven pm in Turkey. Everybody's like about to sleep,
Speaker 1: like you want to talk to them about something like
Speaker 1: they don't want to talk to you. You know, you're
Speaker 1: not fun for them anymore because they're already in the
Speaker 1: sleeping mood. But I'm trying to be like calling my
Speaker 1: family and friends. It's like heads up, just to have
Speaker 1: like different conversation because being into basketball every time, every second,
Speaker 1: you want to hear something else different than basketball, to
Speaker 1: take it away. And what about March madness? Do you
Speaker 1: get into the college basketball the tournament that's going on
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, of course I will follow. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to watch a little bit of games, but
Speaker 1: I don't know what's the what's the march medis gonna
Speaker 1: look like to see because like for them will say
Speaker 1: this whole new game, you know. And what about double
Speaker 1: last thing? What about the camaraderie of being with the
Speaker 1: team and you guys joking around. You're together on the bus,
Speaker 1: on the plane, in the locker room, on the court.
Speaker 1: That bond, that that thats been created just by being
Speaker 1: together and rooting for one another, playing for one another.
Speaker 1: Talk about that chemistry a little bit. I think we
Speaker 1: have really good people in the organization, from players to
Speaker 1: the front office, like what I would. I think everybody's good,
Speaker 1: everybody's positive, but sometimes positiveness it doesn't bring you the success.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you've got to talk about negative things too,
Speaker 1: because life is not good every time. On the court
Speaker 1: of the court, and I think this year we are
Speaker 1: doing that, Like we are talking a lot, we are
Speaker 1: sharing a lot, we are laughing together, and we are
Speaker 1: and we are winning, you know. And as long as
Speaker 1: you play good and better on the court and together
Speaker 1: on the court, I think you're a better friend of
Speaker 1: the court too. It's like it affects and I think
Speaker 1: the light is really good, you know, to making team better.
