We're gonna talk about the media 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.280 side of this shortly with your new show, but in general, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.320 how are you and what have you been up to 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.720 most recently? Thanks for having me on, you know, first 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.239 and foremost, it's good to see you guys after you know, 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.680 a long break that we've had due to coronavirus. But yep, 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.919 thank you. You know, I'm happy to be here, happy 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.480 to be healthy, happy for my family to be healthy. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.400 Uh My bears are three and no, so I'm happy 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:02.959 about that. Uh Okay, you know, my Cubs Clints the 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.239 playoff spots, so everything's all good here in Chicago. But 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.600 other than that, man, I'm just truly blessed to be 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.880 around family during this time. That's kind of the silver 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.960 lining that I found during this time of COVID nineteen, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.600 spending more time my family, getting to be around them, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.280 because I know, with basketball takes us away from months 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.800 at a time, So I'm enjoying this time before things 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.880 kind of get back to normal and we get back 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.280 to our normal routines. The rundown of the show Today, 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.360 quick rundown, we'll get into Jared's career with the Bluecoats 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.040 in the G League. We'll talk about as I mentioned 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.880 his show, his talk show, JB and Co. Then we'll 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.320 debut a new segment. A lot of podcasts and shows 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.000 do different types of drafts where you pick a topic 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.480 and the hosts and the guests get to go around 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.600 the horn a little bit and make their selections. So 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.440 we'll debut our Big three round a little bit later on, 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.240 and then we'll do some final questions to put a 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.000 bowl on it. At the buzzer. But let's start with 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.680 the blue Coats. Jared, I pulled this number and it's 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.400 really impressive. I've got to compare it to other guys 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.120 who have played in Delaware, but ninety three career games 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.960 played with the Delaware Bluecoats over the last few years. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.720 Let's go to this season in particular. I know it 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.400 was a shortened season, but what were you most proud 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.440 of this Bluecoat season? You know, I just was proud 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.840 of the chemistry that we all had together. We went 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:33.360 on a run there. It was towards like the beginning, 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.000 going into the middle of the season, we went on 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.840 a run of a huge winning streak, and I think 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.960 that kept our confidence throughout the whole season, and then 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.600 towards the end of the season we were starting to 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.560 go on another run. So that's obviously why I was, 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.840 you know, sad and disappointed in the fact that the 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.400 season ended, because I really thought we were going to 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.640 make a push for the playoffs. But I think just 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.040 the chemistry. All the guys liked each other, all the 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.520 guys meshed well with the coaching staff. So that's what 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.159 I'm most problem for. When you can get a group 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.520 of guys that that trust each other, that like each other, 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.839 that know what each other do on and off the court. 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.800 I think that's how you build a great team. So 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.000 I truly enjoyed it and that it's just great to 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.760 see all my teammates that are getting these contracts to 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.039 go play overseas if they sold choose, It's just great 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.280 to see that and I'll always be rooting for those guys. Wow, hey, man, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.360 can I throw something to here real quick? Yes, sir, Hey, 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.320 Jane as man As said, you know one of your 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.280 fair favorite man, you just got that nice you know 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.919 you always laughing at joking and messing. I just got 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.360 to ask this question and you go ahead to think 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.000 on this one. I know it's kind of early, but 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.960 what was one of your favorite this one of your 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.120 favorite moments this past season, man, or just one of you. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.160 That's something that just stock. I say, Man, this is 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.839 what I missed about Delaware. This is what I miss 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.000 about the game. What are up at the fans? What's way? 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.560 What are your favorite moments if you get through it 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:56.440 at us? Wow, that's tough. Um. You know, there's a 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.640 lot of moments that happened both on and off the floor. 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.880 But I mean, if you know, you got me with this, 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.280 but if if I had to choose off the top 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.640 of my head, I just think every player individually brought 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.080 something different to the game. Every player was funny in 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.799 their own way. So often I think back to Chris Kumaji. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.160 He was kind of like the guy who who who 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.400 was hilarious on the floor. I think back to all 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.400 the blocks that he gets and his signature called it 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.960 where he where he puts the thumbs down anytime he 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.840 blocks somebody. I think that has to be um, something 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.480 that I've always truly enjoyed and something that I always 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.440 laughed at when I was on the bench spectating at 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.960 the time, So that that's probably always been a great 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.680 moment for me. But to call out one specific moment 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.640 off the quarter, you know, that's pretty hard, just because 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.400 we've all had uh. Like I said, we all had 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.200 great chemistry. So we all had a good time together 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.360 spending spending time with each other, whether it be on 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.599 the road, whether it be there in Delaware or whether 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.120 it be at the events that we go to, we 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.560 all mesh well. Um and even when you guys are there, 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.360 we all have great chemistry. So that's that's that's that's 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.719 the biggest component. We're gonna keep it with a moment, 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.720 but it's gonna be off the court or on the 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.440 court rather and it's gonna be over the course of 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.640 your entire professional career. What was your A lot of 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.520 people talk about they're welcome to the league type of 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.360 moment where they play against a certain player or a 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.720 certain event happens on the court. What were what was 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:27.760 your welcome to professional basketball moment on the floor? Wow? Wow? 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:36.520 Wow wow. Um, that's tough. I think I don't really 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.400 have a specific one to say, but I think last 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:46.720 year having a mere Richardson h joined us U Amir Johnson, right, Johnson, Yeah, 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.880 I think last year having Amir Johnson joined our our 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.320 our team towards the end of the season was a 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.520 great opportunity. Um. I'm sure it was a great opportunity 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.920 for all the guys, but it was a great opportunity 0:07:57.960 --> 0:07:59.560 for me because we got to I got to see 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.800 a true professional work, see how he prepares, see how 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.040 he plays in the game, and for him to want 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:08.680 to come down and play with us during the G 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.000 League to make sure he kept his minutes up, gearing 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.800 up for the playoffs. I thought that spoke valumes, so 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.320 you can see how a guy who was a veteran 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.560 in the league, how he operates on and off the floor. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.120 So I took a lot from that, learned a lot 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.360 from him when he said his gems in the locker 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.320 room throughout those two games. But I think that was 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:31.800 kind of like my welcome to the league because it 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.120 allowed me a chance to be around a vet who's 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.719 been in the league for ten plus years and to 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.640 learn from him and to see him play. Joe, I 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.360 think that was a little harsh. Well, we just did 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.000 a Jared. We put him on the spot kind of 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.439 two times in a row. He's been a staple of 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.600 this Delaware program and fans of guys to know him 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.040 and just his time with the Bluecoats like there's been 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.880 so many moments, So I think that was kind of 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.080 why it might have been more difficult to think back 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.680 ninety three games play that's crazy. He's been the heart, 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.640 one of the hearts and souls of this team over 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.959 the last couple of seasons, was he. But but we 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.240 put him in no position that Coach Johnson to put 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.760 him in many of times, just like that. He came 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:15.040 through when his number was called, he came through, Yo, 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.079 piggy back in on a mere Johnson coming down. I 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:22.400 gotta ask, do you play poker, Jared? I don't play 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.400 poker bad because you got a poker face. Man, Like 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.120 you ever know whether Jared made a game winning three 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.480 or miss or mister mister a shout or mister pass, 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.920 he got the same look. You never looked like you 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.880 ever shook. That's what always impressed me about you on 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.880 the court, Like no moment was too big or nothing 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.800 was that devastating, Like you was like, Okay, what's next, 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.480 what's next? What's next? And when you get guys like 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.040 a Mare that come down, and like you said, he's 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.079 working on getting itself ready for getting those minutes. He 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.280 takes away some minutes sometimes when those guys come down, 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.439 But you seem like you're always prepared. Whoever might have 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.120 some reduced minutes or played, you guys seem like you're 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:07.000 always prepared. Talk about that and how uh that that 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.560 mindset is is so relevant and you guys are still 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.599 always having a karaterie about those situations. Well, you know 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.760 you're so right, Joe. You know with the G league, Uh, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.440 it's a league where players are in and out, players 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.960 are moving up and down, so so minutes can fluctuate, 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.160 so that that's a huge things with the G League. 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.920 H And at first a player who's just now joining 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.800 he may not be accustomed to that. Before a player 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.760 who's maybe played for a few years or has been 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.600 in the G League for a few years, they kind 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.800 of know how it goes. So for me, I just 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.960 always kind of kind of had that that that wisdom 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.000 about me, knowing that that things aren't always going to 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.160 go your way, or guys may come up and down 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.679 into make h dictate how many minutes you play. So 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.160 I've I've never wavered. I've just always been stabled. I 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.520 just know that whenever my name is called, I want 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.079 to be able to come in and perform to the 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.719 best of my ability. That's all I can do to 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.559 help the team, and that's that's what I can do 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.079 to ultimately help myself. So I don't I don't really 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.080 worry about guys coming in and out, minutes going up 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.280 and down. I just do my job when I when 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.080 my name's called, I do my job, and I don't 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.599 show any fear while I'm out there.

Before we get to JB and Co. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.520 The show, This one might be a little bit easier 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.480 for you because you had the AAU seen in Chicago. 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.439 You played college ball out in California, and you had 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.480 summers out there and offseasons there and all that. So 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.319 at any level, whether it was a game or a 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.439 pickup game, whatever it might be, who are some of 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.600 the best guys that you've ever played with or against 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:00.400 in any on any stage. Yeah, I know. My team 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.760 was called the Illinois Wolves, and we had a really 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.680 solid team. The way I think of my AU team 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:11.480 is kind of like, um, the the underdogs of basketball 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.880 in Chicago. We were all um, we were all talented, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.880 we were all skilled, and we ultimately be ended up 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.000 being either the first or second best team in the state. Um, 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.000 but we were all a bunch of low key guys, 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.960 uh and what I like to call underdogs. But then 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.439 you had your superstars who I like to call them. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.839 You had your Jabari Parkers, you had your jalil Oka Force. Um. 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.679 I'm trying to think of who else, But were you 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.280 on the team with those guys? No, those are the 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.439 guys who we played against a lot of them. The 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.920 Kendrick Nunn, who you know, was on the All Rookie 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.679 team with Miami. We played against those guys. So that's 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.440 kind of my class class of twenty and thirteen who 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.319 I came up with. Um. So it was great to 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.200 go against those guys. And of course, you know before 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.680 that you had guys to watch like Derreck Rose, Evan Turner, 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.200 Patrick really, so you had all those guys to look after, 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.679 and I think that's what truly created you know that 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:10.640 that that rich Chicago history and uh, you know um 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.760 Patrick Beverley Actually, you know, it's funny because he actually 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:14.880 went to my middle school and he went to my 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.679 high school for two years before transferring. So I had 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.959 learned a lot about Patrick um in the beginning of 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.760 my career, just who he was. Uh. So, so now 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.360 to see him in the in the NBA is crazy, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.640 Uh to see how far he's come, because it gives 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.200 me A guy gives a guy like me, Hope. It's like, Okay, 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:32.920 you know I come from the same place. You know, 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.839 I work hard. It's like I see a path in 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.040 me trying to make it. So just to see that 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.400 inspiration and get that motivation from all the guys you've 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.080 played with and all the guys that have come before 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.800 you is great. That's the great thing about Chicago. And 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.800 and then your guy, your teammate and Delaware Shake Milton 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.360 kind of dunked on Patrick Beverley's head on national television 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.040 this season. Hey hey, look, I'm always rooting for Shake man. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.960 That that was crazy. Uh, you know, Shakes, my guy 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.199 had a chance to get him on the episode of 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.120 JB and Co. I'm always rooting for him, always in 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.120 constant communication with him, and I wish nothing but the 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.160 best for Shake. But that's my guy for sure. What 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.120 a transition. You're already a pro at this transitioning into 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.600 JB and Co. Like that, Joe, This guy branches out 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.520 into media now we've seen him on the court during 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.360 the pandemic. He started the show JB and Co. How 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.160 great of an idea was this for him to branch 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.440 out in this way? But he's made for it. That's 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.720 and that's what I'm saying. You know, it's like his 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.960 game even though we say he is sniper, a three 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.320 point shooter, but you need a two pointer, he go 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.000 get it. You need to stop. He gonna make it happen. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.920 You need that timely assist. He gonna make it happen. 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.440 So he has so many fastests to his game. It's 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.400 only natural that he has so many fastest to his 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.240 own personal life. And he has he has that skill 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.720 set to go wherever he wants. And I'm excited for you. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.880 I know you have podcasts and all these different things, 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.600 so I'm excited. It's so happy for you. Brought nothing 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.200 but success to you every area right the new YouTube 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.640 channel you interviewed Shake Milton, as you said, had Brandy 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:06.040 chat Stain. The finale of season one was Steve Nash unbelievable. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:11.320 Why did you decide to start JB and Co. Well, one, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.040 you know, I appreciate you guys for watching and all 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.160 the great words that you just said. I really appreciate it. Um. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.960 But but JB and Co. Started because you know, I 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.680 was a communications major at Santa Clair University, so I've 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.520 always had a passion and broadcasting UM. I had my 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.720 own show to start off at Santa Clara called Long 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.360 Walks with Jared, in which I would um walk with 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.840 teammates of mine and you know, the commissioner of my conference, 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.760 the president of my school. So I had the opportunity 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.120 to start that um while I was in college, and 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.000 I was kind of like the beginning phase. But then, 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.440 you know, basketball obviously got hectic, and it got more 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.760 and more busy as I left college, so I kind 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.640 of got away from it. But due to COVID nineteen, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.720 I knew that I wanted to capitalize on this time 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.120 in some type of fashion. So as soon as we 0:15:58.240 --> 0:15:59.920 had to pack our bags and leave Delaware, you know, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.680 I kind of started plotting and figuring out what's going 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.920 to be next during this time span. So that's where 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.040 I came up with the idea for the show. In 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.600 a new show at that called JB and Co. In 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:14.400 which I interviewed distinguished individuals and talk about their success journey, 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.520 talk about the lessons they've learned along the way. And 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.000 I hope it was a way for people who are 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.160 listening from my audience to take things from those episodes, 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.360 to take gyms from those episode and apply them to 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.000 their own life, and during that time, I also wanted 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.720 to shed light on things happening in America, such as 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:36.560 police brutality and systemic inequality, just because you know, it's 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.920 it's it's it's something that's a problem in our country, 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:40.760 and me as a black man, I want to be 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.600 able to use my platform in some type of way 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.360 to shed light on that. So so you were able 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.200 to hear a lot from from my guests, both white 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:51.080 and black, who joined the show. But that's JB and 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.080 Co basically, and I hope to keep it going and 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.200 I'm glad that I've gotten great feedback so far. Well, 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.480 he used the word distinguished, So Matt, you must be 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:05.280 up next. We're gonna say you're next. Joe liked it. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.119 What do you guys think should we get into the 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.199 debut of our Big Three draft a new segment here? 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.800 I think we're gonna do it, and I hope you 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:20.160 guys prepared because the topic is best basketball films. We're 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.280 each gonna take three picks and we pick that because 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.960 of the last dance, all the fanfare around that and 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.879 Jared being from the Chicago area, and I like I 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.160 said a lot of shows do this. Some do five 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.280 picks each. We'll keep it short and sweet. We'll go 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.200 around the horn. We'll do it draft style, though. We're 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.920 always gonna let the guest pick first, So Jared's gonna 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.240 have the first pick, and then Joe and I on 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.600 each episode will probably alternate second and third. Joe, I'll 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.280 let you have the second pick on this one because 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.600 I'm such a nice guy. But let's start with Jared 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.400 and he can get us started with his first pick 0:17:54.480 --> 0:18:00.600 in our best basketball movie Draft. Wow, I think for 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:08.800 my first pick, Um, considering that um Denzel Washington is 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.560 such a great actor, I'd have to go with he 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.880 Got Game. That has to be my first pick us. 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:16.920 He's an amazing actor. I think a lot of people 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.879 respect what he does um on film and also to 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.440 add Ray Allan and there is Jesus shuttles Worth. I 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.040 think both of them combined made for a great movie. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:28.800 So I have to say he Got Game for for 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:35.000 my first pick. Oh wow, I can't lose it that one. Um. Well, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.640 my my my first pick would have to be Glory Road. Um. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.400 It was about a school that my big brother Mike 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.160 went to was at times Texas West there but at 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:51.120 that time. Now is uh Texas del Passo. Uh Mike 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.840 played for the legendary Don Haskins, while who was portrayed 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.760 in the movie and Big Daddy Land and Son is 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.280 from Sugarland, Texas. Cliff Land and some people say Latin, 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.920 some people say Latine. Um, I say Cliff Latine and 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.720 um so we're like brothers and um so that wouldn't 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.720 have to be my movie Glory Road. I had a 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.879 feeling Joe was gonna snag Glory Road from me because 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:17.000 of his personal connection to it. That's fine, though it's 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:22.879 more fitting for you. I get two picks in a row. Now, rules, 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.840 they make the rule. What's up with these rules? Man, 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.720 It's like a fantasy draft. I'm in the third position. 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.680 It goes back around the other way. I like it. 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.480 So Jared really had to make because he got game 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.760 pick count because he doesn't pick again for a couple 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:46.359 of picks. Now, I'll snag Hoosiers first, and then I 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.040 didn't think I was gonna have a chance at the 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:53.280 last dance, But because documentaries are included, I guess I 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.399 gotta take the last dance from you guys. So I'll 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.760 go with Hoosiers and the Last Dance and then Joe 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.320 and Jared in that order coming up next. Wow. Wow, 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.959 that's that's that's that's pretty good. Um, I'm gonna get 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.280 a little fun here and I'm gonna go with uh 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:16.400 Space here. I like it. I like it. You're gonna 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.960 go with Uh, You're gonna go with Last Dance. I'm 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:20.879 gonna keep it with Mike. You can't lose when you 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.760 got money in anything, So you know, as a fun 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.560 movie has some great characters in it, and I was 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:31.040 alluding to this guy, So I'm gonna go with spaces Yeah. Yeah, 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:32.879 I was hoping that Glory role will get a chance 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.080 to come back to me. I also love Space Jam, 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.000 so I'm upset that guy taken it. And right here 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.280 I have two okay. And then of course the Last 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:45.159 Dance documentary that that was an amazing documentary about a 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.160 great time in Chicago. So that's that's a good choice. Matt. Um, 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:52.560 I'll have to take for my second pick. Well, as 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:53.880 you guys can see, I don't know if you guys 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.879 can see this, you guys know a movie that is 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.879 oh yeah, white Man Can Jump. I gotta take that 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:07.080 as my second pick ultimately, because one I just enjoyed 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:08.600 it as a movie as a whole, and two like, 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.639 I think it shows great qualities working in pairs, um um, 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.040 you know, being able to trust, being able to believe 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.480 in your teammates. So so I really respect that movie. 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.680 And I got one more and then it goes back 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.960 to us to finish it out. Wow, Jar all right. 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:27.240 I don't know if any of you guys have this 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:31.080
