00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: I got hurt in our second protein so we had

179
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,439

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: little stress fracture in my toe and I missed. I

00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: missed our first twelve games.

182
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: So I remember that.

183
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: I uh, my first time playing. I think we played

184
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: like Tennessee State at home. And it wasn't no low management,

185
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: no minute restriction. I played like twenty two minutes straight.

186
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: I called it cramp.

187
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 5: Uh.

188
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: So my first game was a little a little up

189
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: and down, but we got the best fans. A lot

190
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: of people when they come to do they don't understand it,

191
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: like this is the gym, like it's so small.

192
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 3: They will pay they think that's where we practice at.

193
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: It's only like six thousand people in there, but uh,

194
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: you know they definitely supporting. The energy is crazy and

195
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: uh you know it's bittersweet. I only got the experience

196
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: that for one year, but it definitely was a great experience.

197
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: How was it playing for coach? Said coach cal.

198
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: Playing my dog? You know, hend thinking about that money family,

199
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: you know, to the game?

200
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 6: How was that playing for coach ko Bro? I heard

201
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 6: they got a you ask a couple of times.

202
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: Hey, yo, all right.

203
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: Jason, Jason, Jason over there?

204
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: All right? Playing for coach K was great.

205
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean the thing I respect most about coaches, he's

206
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: a leader of men, and he really understands how to

207
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: galvanize a team and how to get you to really

208
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: compete and play art. And I think that's the biggest

209
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: thing for kids that's coming out of high school. Everybody's talented,

210
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: but how can you work well with a team. How

211
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: do you learn how to compete? How do you learn

212
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: how to get outside yourself? Get outside your comfort zone?

213
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: I think Coach K was great at motivating and he

214
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: wanted the best for me, like he wanted me to

215
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: be the best pocket. But He wanted me to be

216
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: wanted done. He wanted me to go be where I'm

217
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: matt And I think that was that was important. That

218
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: was special because you hear a lot of stories and

219
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: coaches that like want to hold guy's back and want

220
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: to keep them. K like he pushes you to be

221
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: the best version of yourself, and that's somebody. Coach K

222
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: texts me today like even at seventy seven, like, you know,

223
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: he's still tap in and we talked all the time.

224
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 6: Did he ever try you, like just to get you

225
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 6: to play better or we have his like little antics

226
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 6: with you.

227
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: N He definitely was a master manipulator. I mean we

228
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: was playing Virginia, Virginia. He was playing at Virginia and

229
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: it was the best game I had in college at

230
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: the time. I had two points at halftime, but we

231
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: was winning. I thought I was playing defense. I came

232
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: at halftime, I'm dapping everybody up. I'm like, yo, like,

233
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, let's keep it going. We're gonna win, Like

234
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: keep playing the right way. No, lie, I'm sitting next

235
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: to Millach K came in. I'm like, I'm leaning for it.

236
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, like, let's go. Came in took his

237

00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: left you back in Saint Louis. Damn I'm talking about

241
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,000

Speaker 2: it's time to get paid, like transition to be a pro?

316
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: Like dream come true? How was that moment? How was

317
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: that summer?

318
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie?

319
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: We lost to South Carolina and I was I was upset,

320
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: like because I was fully involved, like I I was

321
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: at Duke. I was like, I want to see this through.

322
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to win a championship. The start of the

323
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: season wasn't great, but we end up we won the

324
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: ACC tournament. We want four games in four days. Nobody

325
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: had ever done that, so we ended up being a

326
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: two seeds. So I'm thinking, like, yo, were really gonna

327
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: win the championship. We lost in the second round and

328
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: after the game, I remember I was like, state, I

329
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: was sick the medium in the locker room, and I

330
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: remember I got to the crowd. I wanted to go

331
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: to see my mom and it just it just clicked.

332
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, like my dream about to come true.

333
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: And at that moment, it wasn't like I didn't care

334
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: that we just lost. It was like, man, this is

335
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: what I've been working towards my whole life, and it

336
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: was like I saw my mom.

337
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, I'm about to change my mom life.

338
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: And at that moment, I wasn't that sad. No, more

339
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: like I was. I was damn there excited. But I

340
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: remember I was a little nervous calling coach k of

341
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: like telling him like, yo, I'm not coming back to

342
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: school and Coach was like, you pick your agent yet

343
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: you ready? I was like, damn, Coach, like you don't

344
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: want me to come back. He's like, no, Like you

345
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: gotta go.

346
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: That's real. That's real for sure.

347
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: But like I always was going to leave, but I

348
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,640

Speaker 2: our agent and stuff.

366
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: Our coach was nothing like that, bro. He was ready

367
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: for them niggas to go. Yeah. They he was hating

368
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: on us doing the draft.

369
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: He's telling two people were bad teammates, all type of stuff.

370
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 2: It was crazy. So that's dope that coach k did

371
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: that for Yeah, yeah, that's love. Listen, we know where

372
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: you win the draft. But did you think it was

373
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: going number one?

374
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm?

375
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: Any think so went number one and to a Lonzo

376
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. Markel Folks was cold in college,

377
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: was wrong in fact. Watch Yeah he was nice and

378
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: I watched him. I was like, yeah, he's special. Alonzo

379
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: was nice, but LeVar balls marketing skills that entire summer.

380
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was him. That was crazy. That's that should

381
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: be spoken on more because I mean, obviously he was.

382
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: Deservers wrong, but LeVar saw him so high for real,

383
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: he saw him so hot going on campaign. Who else

384
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 2: parent was on ESPN bro before the like, he really

385
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 2: went crazy for that.

386
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: His daddy's got to do better. Yeah, that wasn't they

387
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 3: got to do better. But it was a blessing not

388
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: to go to l A for me.

389
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: For you, I'm glad you didn't go to I mean,

390
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: he probably would have been filthy out there anyway, but

391
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: I think Boston was just perfect.

392
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: No, I mean, it definitely worked out.

393
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: But like you said, during that process, the narrative was

394
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: it was consensus that Markel was going number one, and

395
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: when the Lakers got the second pick, it was like

396
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: Lonzo was going too. So it was never a thought

397
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: in my mind. Was like, I just felt like everybody

398
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: had their mind made up. And I was in LA

399
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 1: so Philly had the number one picket first, they came

400
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: to watch me work out. The Celtics came to watch

401
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: me work out. I'm sorry. The Celtics had the number

402
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: one picke at the time. They came to watch me

403
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, so Phoenix was four. So I work out

404
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: for all of them. They couldn't watch me. Everybody was

405
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: raving about the workout. But then somebody I ain't gonna

406
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: say his name was somebody on the Celtics front office

407
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, one of the best workouts I've seen.

408
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: He was like, good luck in your career.

409
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: But you know, we got the number one pick, we

410
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: probably not gonna pick you.

411
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: So at the time I was like like, damn, I

412
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: don't want to go. Damn, Brad, you did that. No,

413
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 3: it wasn't bad. I'm just playing. Let me suffer. I'm sorry,

414
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: come on, I got to.

415
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: But for me, I grew up with Kobe fan like,

416
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: I always wanted to play for the Lakers, so don't

417
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: do it for them to have the number two pick,

418
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: And it was like they didn't even it wasn't even

419
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: a thought that I was going to get drafted. Like

420
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: that was kind of devastating. So I never worked out

421
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. They never came to watch me work out.

422
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: And then it was like a week before the draft,

423
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: Philly and Boston traded the thirty one three and I

424
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: wanted to go to Phoenix. Phoenix had the fourth pick.

425
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: Errow Watson was a coach. I went out there I

426
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: was looking at houses. The weather was nice, and they

427
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: had a young team. I was like, man, I'm gonna

428
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: go get the play. And then I remember coach k

429
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, Boston want to have you for a

430
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: second workout. You should go. I'm like, coach, like, they

431
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: just came off the Eastern Conference finals. They got a

432
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: veteran team, like, I'm probably not gonna play. I don't

433
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: want to go. Yeah, And he was raving about Brad Stevens.

434
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: He was like, Brad's one of the best coaches in

435
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: the league. Like, just go for another workout. And I

436
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: remember I went up to Boston like three days before

437
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: the draft. I had another workout and I didn't know

438
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: where I was getting drafted until they called my name. Dang,

439
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: and but you know the rest was history and it

440
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: all worked out for sure. That's crazy because I know

441
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: from the outside looking in him, like I said, we

442
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: fell from some of the propaganda from the bar ball.

443
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: We didn't know it was sowing up like that. So

444
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: to hear you say, like the Lakers was that locked in?

445
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

446
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was.

447
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: I was sick too, because it was like, man, I

448
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: was so close to my dream and I might play

449
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. It was like best case scenario, and

450
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: they was mine was made up. They didn't want to

451
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: come watch me work out and had me come in.

452
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: I was like, man, so you didn't think he was

453
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: gonna play it all Boston.

454
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: And then I get drafted. Gordon Hayward signed with the Celtics.

455
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: I called my agent like, yo, I gotta get traded.

456
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm in the Summer League before I ever played a game,

457
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: like yo. He like relaxed, just waited out. Man, he's

458
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: doing too much. Basically, he's like you got I'm like, yo,

459
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to play.

460
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: I want I don't. I didn't get drafted to come

461
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: off the bench and not start. Yeah.

462
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like, yo, just like you're in a

463
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: great organization. They're gonna teach you how to play the

464
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: right way.

465
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie. Would have been worried, Yeah, wrapped

466
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 3: the head said j.

467
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: They picked up Jordan and then JB just got drafted

468
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 2: the year before, and j he didn't even play that

469
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: much a year.

470
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 3: So I would have been concerned too.

471
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: I ain't so at first, I'm like, but this is

472
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: before Kyle even came. But then when Kyle came, he

473
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: was cool because we we traded a lot of people

474
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: for kyin lot.

475
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you had wonder that like you had. I'll

476
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 2: rock with you purely off the skill. But I think

477
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: what's so crazy about you is like you accomplished so

478
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: much in a short little time that people like want

479
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 2: to down play. It's just like it's not his fault

480
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: that he came in the league killing a lot of

481
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: people taking adjustment periods. You was on the veteran team

482
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: with a lot of people trying to get contracts, with

483
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 2: a lot of people trying to prove themselves. It still flourished,

484
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: like I had a crazy crazy man.

485
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah that was at that time. That was like the

486
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: most fun I ever had playing basketball. Like, we lost

487
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: our first two games and Gordon got hurt on opening

488
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: the night, which was that was like tragic. Yeah, we

489
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: lost in Cleveland, played back to back, we lost to Milwaukee.

490
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: I was like, damn, it's gonna be a tough year.

491
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: We won sixteen games straight and that's when I was like,

492
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: Kyrie might be the best basketball player I've ever seen player.

493
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: Kyrie won and he got hurt and we had like.

494
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: Twenty three games left, and I remember it was me

495
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: smart t row Marcus Morris, Baines al and we was

496
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: already the two seed, and we had twenty three games

497
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: that like play like learn how to play with each other.

498
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: And then we got to the playoffs and it was like, man,

499
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: we were just like everybody favorite team because we was

500
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: all young. Nobody expected us to beat Giannis in the Bucks.

501
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: Then we beat Joel, then played Lebron in the conference finals.

502
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: We was rolling. I ain't gonna a lot, like we

503
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: were just out there like having a.

504
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: Ball for sure.

505
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: I gotta ask, man, how was it going saying send

506
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 2: Lebron to tweet the follow you back to Duncan on

507
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: him in the playoffs.

508
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: That's a hell of a transition. No, it was definitely

509
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: a full circle moment.

510
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: And I remember like when we beat we beat Philly

511
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: and they had swept Ronto. That's when the tweets start

512
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: going viral. I made that tweet in eighth grade, like

513
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: when I first got on Twitter.

514
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we know, we see the times, but it's just funny.

515
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: It's like twenty twelve or something like that. He was

516
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 3: a fan.

517
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 7: I would never tweet you take a picture of Bron,

518
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 7: But when I, oh it.

519
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: Was twelve, it was already six three on top of

520
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 3: his hand. You kid, I was like, no, that you

00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 6: want to I love bro Cherry Rose your game, Bro.

524
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 4: I was playing with him. Man, that little stint that

525
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: your head bro.

526
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 3: Bro.

527
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: So Teague though, like in the right before the season,

528
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: before training camp, that's gods start coming in like two

529
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: three weeks before the younger guys.

530
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 3: I was in there like.

531
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: A month and we was having like open open runs.

532
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: And I remember the first time I called back home

533
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: and I called back.

534
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: I said, Yo, Terry Rojier is like that, bro.

535
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: And you know, when you're younger, you think the guys

536
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: that come up the bench or not starting, you think

537
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: they just bums or average man. When I seen Trod

538
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: in that first pick up game, I was like, no,

539
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: like Terry really got game.

540
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: Now, come, you know?

541
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: And for ninety five percent in the league, you got

542
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: to be in the right spot and have an opportunity.

543
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: It's only a handful of guys that can go on

544
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: any team and be who they are. And that don't

545
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: mean that the other guy's not that good. Is just

546
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: those five percent of players are really that good. So

547
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you don't never want to see somebody

548
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: get hurt. But it was a blessing to disguise for

549
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: Kyrie to get hurt. T Roge got the show. You know,

550
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: you can lead the team and be the starting point

551
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: guard and uh, you know, do all those things. But

552
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: I remember, like it was September or whatever I called

553
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: back home.

554
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: I was like, t rope is old. He was killing

555
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: bro what I feel like? He was?

556
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 4: Youll like leader bro, he was.

557
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: He was in the cut. You feel me.

558
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 4: He was doing your thing. He was nigga at the front,

559
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 4: like what's had.

560
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 2: When he tried to dunk on Brons when it got

561
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: crazy like the last game, Yeah, he ready to go.

562
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: You know he's done enough. I'm just trying. But the

563
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 2: moment was crazy, the scary ty because a boy act

564
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: like everybody so the neck like you know who he was, bro.

565
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 3: Spoky That that snatched back clipping Lewis was crash.

566
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: But so at the game I said that out of pocket. Yeah,

567
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: y'all was hard for that, you know what. I love

568
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: Boston fans, even though when I played there it was COVID.

569
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 2: We didn't have a fan of staying. That's why I

570
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: wasn't hooping like that fans. I'm I'm a performer, like

571

Speaker 2: Like what I'm like, I have my best game. We're

583
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: on national TV. Didn't feel like I tell.

584
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: People that was the hardest. That's got to be like

585
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: the toughest NBA season.

586
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: That was terrible, bro, That's why your fans you gotta

587
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: do it the nose swab every morning like it was.

588
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: You just didn't know who was gonna play.

589
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: Now, it's terrible. You had to sit and wait thirty

590
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: minutes before you can go on the gym. We all

591

Speaker 2: over for me. And that's crazy that y'all say that,

593
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: because I hear all the players say like that was

594
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: a trying time. But it's like everybody else in mediate

595
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: but like that Lakers weren't count.

596
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 3: Because it was COVID. I'm like the niggas was playing.

597
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 3: So that was really hard. Advice over y'alls. That was tough.

598
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: That was tough. I don't know about them. For me,

599
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 3: it was tough I playing crowd, especially being on the road.

600
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 2: I want to apologize to Boston because that was my

601
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: best performance.

602
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: There wasn't no fans there, but you was ready though.

603
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 6: I mean, we don't want to talk about your Michael

00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 6: Urban stories, but he was ready to play man stop.

605
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't coke. I was just cleaning my nose a lot.

00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: Why you add this, I'll be leaving stuff alone.

620
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 6: But I'm saying a real karate black belt is somebody

621
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 6: who just plays in w W E like not saying

622
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,160

00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: a wild moment, like when we go on the road

647
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: and kids on the sideline, of kids in the crowd

648
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,920

649
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,720

Speaker 3: For sure.

655
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: How's a design process like to be hands on with something,

656
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: like you said, you get to see out in the world.

657
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: And the second side that question is how do you

658
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: feel about people playing against you?

659
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 3: And your shoes. So that's it.

660
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: So the first part, it's an eighteen month process. So

661
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: like the threes is out, the forest is done, we're

662
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: working on the five. So okay, it's like it's a

663
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: long process because you like, you want to enjoy what

664
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: you're wearing now, but you're on meetings about when the

Speaker 1: forest is coming out and they're like, all right, well

666
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: we need to start designing the fives. So it's tough.

667
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: It's trying to kind of stand in the moment because

668
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: you're like, man, I just want to focus on what's

945
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: to be like three for ten. I missed like four

946
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,600

Speaker 1: you know you can make some of them right. I

950
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: know what he's trying to say about how he conveyed

951
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: the messages.

952
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 3: It's so crazy because like how do I even respond

988
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 2: about Luca T like that's my favorite players.

Speaker 2: I knew he was gonna get at least a thirty

992
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: two point performance on the bench. You just want to

993
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 2: see somebody kill see some.

994
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 4: Motherfuckers knew how to trigger him though, I him going.

995
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 3: I text him now.

996
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: I couldn't say nothing. The first game this year, you

997
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 2: went crazy. I ain't want to get you a little.

998
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 3: I was just gone up, Yeah, regression, but he was

999
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 3: killing bro. He was killing to shipping good for so

1000
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 3: far for sure. Listen, man, we definitely want to talk

1001
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 3: about the I had last year to get the ring.

1002
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 2: But I want to ask you know what I'm saying,

1003
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 2: planning gets the words and twenty two coming up a

1004
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 2: little bit short. But how was that experience? You know

1005
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 2: what I'm saying moreed you to be ready to get

1006
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 2: that chip last year.

1007
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's certain things that you go through in

1008
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: real time that you don't understand, like how this is

1009
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: going to prepare you for the future, because losing a

1010
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: twenty two is like devastating. Like we was the eleventh seed.

1011
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: We end up getting to the two seed. We beat

1012
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: Katie and Kyrie, We beat Yannis, the defending champs. We

1013
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: go to Miami and win in Game seven, Like that

1014
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: was one of the toughest runs I can remember in

1015
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: recent years. And then to fall up short, it was like, man,

1016
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: we just did all that for nothing. It was devastating.

1017
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: And then the next year we kind of like we

1018
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: like overlooked teams a little bit. We just wanted to

1019
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: get back to the finals. We end up going six

1020
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: with Atlanta in the first round, Like we didn't handle

1021
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: business the way we should have and put ourselves.

1022
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 3: In a whole. We was down three, and you damn

1023
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 3: it gotta be perfect to win four games in a row.

1024
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 1: And you know I sprained my ankle to first play

1025
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, the margin for error is

1026
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: that much shorter when you down three. So I think

1027
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: last year was the perfect balance of like obviously we

1028
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: got KP, we got Drew, and I think our team

1029
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,280
Speaker 1: was just in the perfect space of like everybody got paid,

1030
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: everybody had individual success in awards.

1031
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 3: The only thing we haven't done besides Drew was winning championship.

1032
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,720
Speaker 1: And I give a lot of credit to our coaching

1033
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: staff and Joe just the way we prepared, Like in

1034
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: our mindset, we knew how to play, and we really

1035
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: we just got better every single day. We approached how

1036
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: we was going to play the Bucks the same way

1037
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: we was going to play the Wizards. Like we didn't

1038
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: look past nobody, and we lost eighteen games last year

1039
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: and we went sixteen and three in the playoffs, Like

1040
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: I know we're still playing.

1041
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 3: Nobody want to give us our credit, but like the

1042
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 3: ship we did last year was special.

1043
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 2: Credit I don't know different anybody else is just like, hey,

1044
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 2: as a Patiss fan, please tell me that we was

1045
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 2: the hardest team.

1046
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying last shot in the post season.

1047
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 4: That big a dude go out of Celtic's Gary down for.

1048
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 3: Luck. You can never.

1049
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: No, I mean I said, I'm a record for saying it,

1050
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: Like yes, sir, the patience that was the hardest series

1051
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: that we had last year.

1052
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 3: Just like.

1053
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: How fast they played. They were subbing three people at

1054
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: the time. Teacher mcconna was unreal at home, like was

1055
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 1: doing over topping. Like the role players that they got,

1056
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 1: they're just also selfless. They don't move, they don't stop moving.

1057
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: Everybody played without the ball, and they just like they

1058
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: the way they play, they trying to.

1059
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 3: They like bait you into play how they play and

1060
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 3: like that works for them.

1061
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: And you know, our thing is like we want to

1062
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: get stops and defense and you look up the score

1063
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: might be one hundred and thirty five, Like that's the

1064
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: game that they want to play. And when they get

1065
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: you playing that way, like they can beat anybody. And

1066
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, we came back in overtime. The first game,

1067
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: Game three, was down nineteen in game four, we went

1068
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: down to the wire like we swept them, but like

1069
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: every game we did tying.

1070
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 2: It was with all good games though for the most part,

1071
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 2: like exciting games to be I should say.

1072
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 3: I give any a lot of credit. Like we was

1073
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 3: dog tired after every game after that. Listen, we don't

1074
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,439
Speaker 3: get nice things offense. So they complimenced me to lots

1075
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 3: of me.

1076
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 4: Because this nigga still there be like like that.

1077
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: The way we start off this season, I don't know

1078
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 2: if I could be happy this year or not. Man,

1079
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 2: it's a thank for the word. That's all I did

1080
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 2: right now now. When Drew first got traded from Milwaukee,

1081
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 2: what I tell you we was gonna Winna, I told

1082

Speaker 3: Yeah, I said, go get Drewy're gonna win. He said,

1084
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,960

1085
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 3: I'm on it. And then I seen it happen. I said, damn,

1086
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 3: he was on it. He really got pulled over there

1087
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 3: in the time of contact. No tempering. Yeah, man, I'm just.

1088
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 6: Saying though him joining the team, though, how was it, Bro?

1089
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 6: Did you think like when you got there? Of course

1090
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 6: I got aspirations of winning. But he was like, Noah,

1091
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 6: this is gonna help us.

1092
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 3: No, I mean absolutely.

1093
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: Drew was on the team with me in twenty twenty

1094
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: one when he was in the Olympics fresh off he

1095
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: just won a championship with the Bucks, came with us

1096
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: and we wanted to go medal together. And I just

1097
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: I understood at that time that Drew was like a

1098
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 1: Swiss army night. He could yeah, guard the one through

1099
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: the five. He could be on ball, he could play

1100
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: off the ball. You put him in a dunker, he

1101
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 1: can set screens, he can score on any matchup.

1102
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 3: He not like, you know, a team player.

1103
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: When the big games, he gonna do what he's supposed

1104
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: to do, and not that he's gonna fall back, but

1105
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 1: he just know how to how to play with you know, superstars,

1106
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: and uh, he like the ultimate teammate. So when we

1107
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: got Drew is definitely like our confidence roles are like, man,

1108
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: we just felt that much better about what he's about

1109
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 1: to do.

1110
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1111
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, as a Pacers fan, hating becuse y'are cheating. You're

1112
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 2: not supposed to have Derek White Andrew and then switching

1113
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 2: to you and JB.

1114
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 3: That's not fair, man, life ain't fair.

1115
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 4: Many White got cold when he cut the hair.

1116
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 2: When he cut the hair, they had to pay for

1117
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 2: that though, I mean they salary cap Man.

1118
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 3: Tax bill is probably nuts.

1119
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 2: Imagine. I know he's selling the tape for we were,

1120
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 2: but boy, this tax bill is crazy. It's worth it, though, bro,

1121
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,439
Speaker 2: I mean, championships is for Shure worth it. But y'all

1122
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 2: to a great story so far, for sure. I mean

1123
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 2: I want to ask you what I'm saying having to

1124
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 2: crazy summer. You know, I'm saying getting the dring? You know,

1125
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 2: matter how you come back motivated. Obviously you're a professional.

1126
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 2: You come to hoop, but like having such accomplishments a

1127
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 2: short amount time, what keeps you motivated and locked in

1128
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 2: and coming to this season?

1129
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 3: I think for me, one thing is like, man, I'm

1130
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 3: only twenty six.

1131
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, not some fans of

1132
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: people in the media might view like, oh, you've been

1133
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: in the championship, You've been in conference final, Like they.

1134
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 2: Might think I'm older than what I am. Like, boy,

1135
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 2: you look thirty. You kicked off early that I never

1136
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: understood that. I'm like, why is it his fault? Because

1137
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 2: he was successful early? Like you came in to the

1138
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 2: league going like, don't aging for it? Are you get

1139
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 2: mad at him for it? He was still killing.

1140
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's some truth to that.

1141
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: Like, the expectation for me was just way higher because

1142
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: I went to the Congresce Finals at twenty So for

1143
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: me being twenty six, like I got a lot of

1144
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: basketball left a lot and that feeling of winning the

00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,400

00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: No, that's like easily one of my favorite, if not

1178
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:00,439
Speaker 1: my favorite teammate I ever had from a professional point,

1179
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: like when I got drafted at nineteen. Seeing how Al

1180
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: approach every practice day, every game day, every off day,

1181
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: it's a testament to like his career. It's year eighteen

1182
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: and like it was year seventeen last year, and we

1183
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: relied heavily on our to help us win a championship.

1184
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: It's not a lot of people in year seventeen that's

1185
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: starting on the team that's going to the finals.

1186
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 3: In that game three against Indiana, he had like eight three.

1187
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: I remember, and it's like we needed him to win

1188
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: that game. So Al took me under his wing, you know,

1189
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: since my first day, and you know somebody that's like

1190
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: always been there for me, somebody I've learned a lot

1191
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: from from the standpoint of like having a routine. I

1192
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: got my routine from watching Al have a routine. That's

1193
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: why he's been in the league for so long and

1194
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: been so successful. So Al is one of the best

1195
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: people you would ever meet, one of the best players

1196
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career and help him get over that top,

1197
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: get over the top and win a championship was like

1198
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: that was special.

1199
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 3: Now. I was so happy for hour bro, because I

1202
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 2: the best for everybody. So I knew when y'all got

1203
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 2: him back, when Brad went back and got him, I

1204
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: was like, man, y'all gonna have a special run.

1205
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 3: And he ain't stopping. No tim soon still going.

1206
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 2: Now, keep in that check, my boy, keep moving facts

1207
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 2: fact before we got out here. Obviously, we know you

1208
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 2: played to win championships, but do you have any personal

1209
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 2: goals you can share with us the season?

1210
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 1: Man uh Man, I want to win another championship, brokay obviously,

1211
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: like you want to win MVP, you want to first

1212
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: team All NBA again, and those things and winning MVP

1213
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: or wanting to have that as a goal, that's not

1214
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: a negative thing.

1215
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.

1216
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: If you you aspired to do that, you're playing at

1217
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: a high level. You're playing a fishing, you're dominating. Your

1218
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: team is one of the best, and even if you

1219
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: don't win, right, it's only one person that can win,

1220
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: but it's five people every year that's playing at an

1221
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: NBB level for sure. So just trying to, you know,

1222
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: continue to dominate, being more efficient and understanding that this

1223
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: window we have, like trying to get better every day

1224
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: and you know, winning the championship and getting our ring

1225
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: the other night was one of the coolest moments.

1226
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 3: And it's like, man, I want to do that ship

1227
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,240

01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: a part of the first season that they documented, like, man,

1264
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: they saw when I got covered two k they saw

1265
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: when I won the championship sor so to be able

1266
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: to look back years from now have those moments and

1267
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: my mom was on there, my son, some of my

1268
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,600

01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 2: to see all of the media excerpts of like people

1273
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 2: like speaking down like you said, the high expectations, how

1274
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 2: they spoke about you all year and for you to win,

1275
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 2: especially when they documented it super far, because.

1276
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 3: It made a lot of people just deal with the

1277
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 3: results of it.

1278
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: And I mean that's like they never gonna stop talking

1279
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,640
