<v Speaker 1>It is Blue Coats rookie Terry Harris, and I always

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the date that we're recording. They've all been relatively recent,

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>so it's not that important in this case, but it

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of is for you, Terry, because we're recording this

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>on April twenty third, and just about a month past

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 1>your birthday. So happy belated birthday March twentieth. I know

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a crazy time, but how was your birthday this year?

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Birthday was? It was different and I was a different experience.

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't able to go out, go to a restaurant

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and celebrate it, you know, I wasn't able to be

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>around my parents, but I was still able to get

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>to love and get calls from everybody. But you know,

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>we're under the circumstances of the the time we're in with

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the quarantine and the coronavirus. You know, I'm just trying

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>to stay inside, stay safe. But it was still a

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>good birthday, can't complain. Definitely an interesting time for sure.

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Really looking forward to our conversation today the rundown for

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the listeners out there, it's pretty much exactly what we've

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>been doing. We've had Xavier Silas on recently, Haywood High

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Smith before that, Michael Bryson and Jared brown Ridge will

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.559
<v Speaker 1>get into Terry's background, his upbringing, high school, college ball,

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.280

<v Speaker 1>Visit Christiana Care dot org. We will transition from there

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 1>into this season, Terry's first professional season out of college,

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and then we will get to our at the buzzer

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>questions towards the very end, which should be fun as always.

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>But let's start with your background. As I mentioned, dix Hills,

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>New York. So the first question is a fun one.

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you say Onlong Island or in Long Island? I

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>say in Long Island? Really, because isn't Onlong Island Long

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Island thing to do. I gotta let it flow naturally,

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm him like the Bluecoats are playing the nets

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow on Long Island. Yeah. Interesting, I thought that was

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>an youre fire on. Huh Okay. How often do you

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>tell your teammates about Long Island bagels? Definitely? Like when

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we were in Long Island, I was trying to tell them, Mark,

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 1>you ever try to if you ever want a bagel

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>or a slice of pizza or a Delhi Sandward, you

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>have to have it in Long Island. That's that's that's

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>what we're going for. See. That's good because not only

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>did you corroborate my statement about bagels, but you also

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 1>said in Long Island like two or three more times

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>just in that sentence. So that's funny. Um. Obviously your

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>family a big family filled with athletes. What was that

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 1>dynamic like growing up definitely competitive, but it was also

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>like it was just a great environment because like you know,

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you everyone was playing, whether my older sisters to my

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>older brothers, and you know, my dad was coaching us.

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>So it was just, uh, you know, each sleep played basketball,

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and it was just it was just a great environment

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that everyone was able to help each other out and

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>learn from each other and compete against each other. So

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was definitely it's definitely amazing to grow

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>up in that type of in that type of environment

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and list out all your siblings because you guys are

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 1>all with the letter T, right. Yeah. So my younger sister,

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>she's the youngest, Tory Harris. She's playing at Saint Bonadventures

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>next year. Um, it's me and h Tyler Harris. He

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>played he played in Argentina this summer, I mean this year.

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>And then my older and then my older brother Tobias

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>plays at the Sixers. And my older sister to Sia,

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 1>who plays she played at Saint John's and played a

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 1>year overseas. And then my older brother, my oldest brother, tj.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>He he played high school. But he's kind of like, uh,

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>he's like the brains of the family, Like he's like,

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>he's a super smart one. So we all go to

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>him and ask questions or whatnot. And you know, my dad,

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>who's my current my agent right now, and my mom.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.359
<v Speaker 1>She didn't play basketball either. Nice and I wanted to

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 1>talk about to see in particular here because she seemingly

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>started at all kind of at the next level maybe

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>with basketball or at least had a big impact. She

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>actually played the first few years of her college career

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>locally for Delaware Blue Coats fans at the University of Delaware.

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>What kind of impact did she and does she continue

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>to have on you? Yeah, since she knows the game

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>really well, she's and she's one of the hardest workers

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I know, always in the gym man. You know, she

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of told me at a young age that like

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>repetitions is what's gonna, you know, help you perfect your craft.

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>So seeing her doing it, seeing her um, you know,

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>get a division on scholarship, just showed me at a

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>young age, like, with hard work and dedication, what that

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>can get me in the long run. So definitely, she

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>definitely led the path for you know, the whole family

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>in the basketball right and now at half Hollow Hills

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>West High School, your high school in New York, you

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>got to team up with your your older brothers, Tobias

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>of course with the seventy six ers now and Tyler

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 1>at one point. I believe, how was that were you

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>in eighth grade? How was that whole dynamic and the

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.359
<v Speaker 1>difference between all your ages and then eventually playing together

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>or nearby at the high school level. Yeah. So in

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the eighth grade, I was on the JV team for

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>most of the year, and there was it was the

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>last regular season games, so they called up a couple

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>of the JV players and having get called up, and

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know, during the game, we were just we

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>just began to start blow out, blowing out the team.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I forgot what team game. I can't believe I forgot

0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:01.039
<v Speaker 1>it though, But but and then the coach subbed me

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and it was me, Tyler, and Tobias all on the

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>same court at once. And I just remember Tobias and

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Tyler were just like doing whatever they could to get

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>me my first my first varsity basket buckets. So like

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>they do me one pass and like, I don't know,

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I missed it real bad. In fact, I

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>was like playing my first varsity game with my brother's

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>a little nervous. But then after that, uh, they was like,

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>get it to Terry, get to Terry, and uh, I

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>threw an up, shout shout went in and I don't know,

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>we were just all happy and it was probably one

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of the funniest days of my life to play with them.

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>And I remember my dad and my mom were there too.

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Was just so happy and it was just like it

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was one of the best feelings ever. And hopefully one

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>day we can get to re experienced that or relived

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that again and be on the same court again. Yeah,

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that is an awesome story, and there's plenty more to

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>get to with your career. We're gonna get to your

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>college career in just a second. But I'd be remiss

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>not to ask quickly during this quarantine time about your

0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>brother Tobias's hair, because he has posted it on social

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>media saying that he's not cutting his hair or shaving

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>until he's back on the court. Are you buying that? Yeah?

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I am viz. I mean, I know for

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a fact he can't cut his own hair, so you

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>really can't get American now. It's completely unsanitarian, right, I

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>know other people have I don't know whoever's with them

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>cutting it, But I guess we're gonna see what he

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>ends up looking like over the next weeks and months,

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>so we will we will certainly see there. But I

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>mentioned college, and you're a guy who had a couple

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>different stops Houston, Baptist, Eastern Michigan and you finish your

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>college career at North Carolina A and T. What are

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>some of the most memorable games from your college career?

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I know you you did have seven threes last college

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 1>season in a game again locally for our Delaware audience

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 1>at Delaware State or I don't know if it was

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>home against Delaware State, but against Delaware State you had

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>seven threes. But what are some of the games that

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>stand out from your college career at any of your stops? Yeah,

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I think, um, that was probably one of my um

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>that that game at Delaware Data had seven threes, but

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I think, um, who was it against against Presbyterian College,

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I had the record. I think it was it was

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>actually another seven threes on one a half, but they

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>were all consecutive, so that was probably like and that

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>was that was last season. Yeah, that was last seasons

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>so like yeah, to you know, just to hit a

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>record and and I remember so another thing with the family,

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>my sister to see it would had she had the

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>family record for I think it was six consecutive three

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>points in a game, so I was able to top

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that by one more three point it was seven and

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a half. So I was always Now I'm able to say, Okay,

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>now I'm the best year in the family because I

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>did this. Wow. Yeah. And you had a few games

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.640

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>let's jump in with some questions. What are you doing

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>for the love of health? The slogan of Christiana Care

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>at this point in time. An example could be, I know,

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>coach Silas has a peloton and we talked to Heywood

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>high Smith a couple of episodes to go about running

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>locally in Wilmington's So what are you doing for the

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>love of health? I love of health. I'm definitely keeping

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>six feet away from everybody, and I'm running, trying to

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 1>eat healthy, trying to stay in shape. Yeah, that's pretty

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 1>much it. What other types of workouts have you been

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>doing that maybe people out there can add to their

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>routine on top of going for a walk or going

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>for a run, anything else that you have that you're

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>able to do it this time? Yeah, push ups, set ups,

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>who ab circuits. When I'm running, I you know, try

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>to get half mile in, h get a get a

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, good number of squats in, get a good

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>number of squat jumps in, you know, just just mixing

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>it up with a different mixing it up and trying

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 1>as much as I can. And have you still been

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 1>able to get through to Haywood about the running circuit

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>or was that like a one or two time thing?

0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>It was one or two time thing. But hey, I

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>think I think Haywood left ware. But when he's back

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to using to get a run in or whatever, But

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I see he's still he's on the app. So he

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 1>posted here and there about his miles. He's definitely still

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>doing it in his miles and in Baltimore or wherever

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>he's at. Yep, A relatively local guy himself, being from Baltimore.

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>But let's talk about this season. Um, it started in

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 1>terms of at least the summer with a six or

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 1>summer league birth for you on the roster, Um, what

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>were the highlights of playing being a part of the

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>six er summer league team? I think the whole one.

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 1>My highlight was just the whole experience, you know, being

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:42.119
<v Speaker 1>in that environment. Uh, you know, venturing into my professional

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>path and going against you know, the top the top

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>rookies in the top young guys in the NBA is

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>just one of the just a great overall experience. I

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>learned a lot, uh started to learn about the NBA

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.079
<v Speaker 1>field NBA style to play, and I felt that it

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>just it was a way to jump start my career.

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>One thing now that if we're talking about the season

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>in Delaware, the G League season, one thing that fans

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>might have been able to notice on the road fans

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and road arenas or even the ones at the field house,

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>is you working with coach Silas, who I mentioned we

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 1>had on the podcast during the last episode, working out

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 1>with him before games and things like that. I just

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about player development with this coaching staff

0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.959
<v Speaker 1>in the Sixers organization, specifically in Delaware. What stood out

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 1>about the player development process with the Blue Coats. I

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like the player development they're really hands on. So

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I think Old Style is more than just teaching me

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.199
<v Speaker 1>and telling me something. He would really he would get

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>on the court and play with me and like and

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 1>like give me like real game like experience. You know

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 1>some games where if I wasn't going to play too much,

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't play too much, you know, he'd make

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>sure that I would. I was playing one on ones

0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>with him or playing one on ones with other players.

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Just seeing you know, that that game feel every day

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and definitely pushed me, pushed me hard every day and

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, teach me different things and just you know,

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 1>get the mental aspect of my game together as well.

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And uh, definitely that's some stuff that you know, I

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't ever received as much in college. And it was

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>definitely great, you know, coming into this, coming into this

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>environment and having that and coach Silas being freshly removed

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>from his own playing days. He can still go, right,

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>those guys can go. Yes, you can go. Don't no,

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>don't no, can get you guys full Yeah. Yeah, but

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>he did say in our interview that he did enjoy

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the transition to coaching this year. Um, but definitely he's

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>very fresh off of his playing days, so it was

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>always fun to see you guys battling before games and

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>things like that. Now, in your transition from college to

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the pro ranks, what area or areas do you think

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you improved in most this past season. I feel like

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I quys and just starting to learn the game and

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 1>learn different aspects of the game and the whole you know,

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>being able to watch and you know, see guys play

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just learn this whole whole system. You know,

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a complete different system in college. So I would

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 1>think you know, just just my learning and you know

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 1>what to see what I'm capable of on the court

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 1>was probably my band main um, you know, I mean

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>thing that I learned from this season. We'll have more

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>with Terry Harris in our at the Buzzer segment momentarily,

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>but first, Nomore's Sports Medicine believes that highly personalized one

<v Speaker 1>a speedy and complete recovery. Learn more at Nemour's dot

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>org slash PT. All right, Terry, time to go at

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the Buzzer and I kind of was trying to feel

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>out this last segment. A lot of podcasts will have

0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 1>specific questions that they ask their guests on a weekly basis,

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and they're the same ones. We might tweak these as

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>we go along, but some of them are are new

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that our previous guests haven't had, so let's just try

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>them out. Let's talk about travel first. What was what

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>was your favorite road city to visit so far? And why?

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess you can say Long Island if you want,

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>but that would kind of be the easy way out,

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 1>So maybe give us two if you can. I'm definitely

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>like Toronto a lot Toronto was definitely just being in

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Canada for the first time and uh, just a good

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.360
<v Speaker 1>vibe in that city. So I liked that a lot.

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>And the other city, I would say, Maine, I like,

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, the crowd that they bought in games was

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a good energy. So, you know, Maine in Toronto,

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>just two cities that I like, I like visiting. For

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>those who don't know, Maine had Taco Fall this past

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>season on a two way contract with the Boston Celtics.

0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I know he definitely helped their merchandise sales with his jersey,

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.880
<v Speaker 1>but their crowds were really good as well. This next one,

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I think there's some interest or at least I find

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 1>interest in in uniform numbers, jersey numbers. Um and I

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>know you were number one this year and Tobias has

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>a really good story about his jersey number and this

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>could change for you. But what's the story behind either

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.199
<v Speaker 1>your current jersey number one or your all time favorite

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>jersey number? And there was no big story behind one.

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I usually like, I don't know. I used like single

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 1>digit numbers and one happened to be like one of those.

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 1>But I'm usually m I don't know. I'm usually five.

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>That's like, that was like, that's my main number, but

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:48.399
<v Speaker 1>ummun for this year with X number. Yeah, you know,

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the vet's got to get that first. That's all right though,

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>But uh oh five was I used to get five

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.920
<v Speaker 1>because I'm a fifth child and uh in the family

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that was? That? Was that all behind five? Well? Something

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 1>else for single digits that I think people consider at

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the pro level as you can work six, seven, eight,

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 1>or nine rotation as well college you can't. Yeah, right,

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So I mean you still went with one that would

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 1>have been legal in college with number one, But of

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>course that could change over the course of your career obviously,

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 1>depending on who's on what roster and all of that.

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's get to the next couple before we round

0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it out. This one will be our fun fact question,

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.879
<v Speaker 1>and it's before the year in Delaware. You guys listed

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of fun facts and you said you're hidden

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 1>talents are drawing and painting. What do you draw and

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>how much have you been drawing or painting right now?

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I honestly anything really. I usually to sketch a lot

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 1>of stuff out When college I minored in art, so

0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I definitely did a lot a lot of I did

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of drawing and a lot of painting. I

0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:01.119
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of painting glasses to drawing classes. So

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>it's something that i've you know, I've done since high school.

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I've been lots of art school art classes in high

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 1>school and uh kind of like a little side talent

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that I got and um during quarantine, I've you been

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>doing a little bit here and there and just draining

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.120
<v Speaker 1>my sketchbook and went out. But you know, every time

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to be a little creative, I you know,

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:25.120
<v Speaker 1>put something together and sketsnd out. That's yeah, that's all

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.640
<v Speaker 1>behind that. I was more of a color rather than

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:33.399
<v Speaker 1>a drawer growing out in art class. But this last

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>question at the buzzer might not be one that gets

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.280
<v Speaker 1>asked to future guests because it has to apply to

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that person and if I've seen them do things on

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 1>this app. But TikTok, I've seen that you're somewhat or

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.320
<v Speaker 1>at least you were at one point active on TikTok.

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>So where is your TikTok career at right now? My

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 1>TikTok I tried. I enjoyed TikTok a lot. I think

0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.679
<v Speaker 1>it's it's really addictive. As soon as you get on

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 1>the app, be over here they scrolling, we're watching videos.

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>But I've had a couple. I had a couple of

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>videos that've done that quite a little bit of success.

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.639
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know. I try to do like the trends,

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the fun stuff and have you still been doing them?

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Here and there? Me and my girlfriend we did the

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:21.240
