Speaker 1: coach looked at me.

140
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,120

Speaker 2: For sure.

144
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: He should have should have been a forty five pound

145
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: should have headed for what.

146
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: When coach said, like Josh what happened? He said what

147
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: he said, coach was like, why would you say coach?

148
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: And then it was like, then what happened? And I

149
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: was like, and I swung the play in his head,

150
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: he was like, why would you do that? Like he

151
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: was so confused of like how this translated. But but

152
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: now we're good. I mean honestly we were good. Like

153
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:21,760

00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: probably had like a week and then, like I.

156
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: Think with Josh though in college especially like NBA is

157
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: way different, but in college was like, in order to

Speaker 6: cleaner roommate than josh.

387
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Josh has had too much stuff.

00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: That's it.

389
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 4: Like Joshu wasn't like dirty, he just like he did

390
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 4: know where to put everything.

391
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,800

398
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: So like after like probably like my couple like after

399
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: a couple of years. I was like, oh, y'all got

400
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: unlimited points. Let me get your cards. So then I'll

00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: and then and then get back on the next day.

404
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 6: Where else pretty stacked? Where else are you looking? Besides Villanova?

405
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 2: My final two schools are Villanova and Syracuse. I really

406
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: wanted to go to Syracuse. Jerry McNamara was a big

407
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: influence for me.

408
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: A good Syracuse guy that was a good white ginger dude.

409
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. His brother Raccooney, Oh yeah, Trevor. He uh he's

410
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: from Delaware, so obviously following his footsteps was a was

411
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: something that I was thinking about. But then, uh, my

412
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 2: mom and dad they were like, my mom really didn't

413
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: want me to go away for college, even though Syracuse

414
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: isn't too far, but it's different when you're forty five

415
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: minutes down the road. So I don't think I did

416
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 2: laundry like once in college. I went home every time.

417
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 4: I would just to like kind of jump back a

418
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 4: little bit. Do you remember the real first time we met,

419
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 4: the first time we spoke. I remember it clear as day.

420
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, if you say something, I'm gonna remember it.

421
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 4: So first time I met Dante, it was on the

422
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: U I B L circuit. It wasn't peace Sham. I

423
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: forget where. I forget where we were. It was during

424
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 4: like au during like we were leaving. We're in the airport. Oh,

425
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 4: he was just committed.

426
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: Dante just committed to Villanova.

427
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 4: And then so I guess we're walking past their gate

428
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: and they're obviously flying Philly, we're flying back to Chicago,

429
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: and we said, yo, bro, you'll come to Nova, because

430
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 4: he was with a bunch of like temple commits also

431
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 4: on his team, and so he was like, oh, bro,

432
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 4: come to Nova. I literally screamed like hell no, because

433
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 4: I knew he just committed. I was like, there's no hell,

434
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: There's no way in hell I'm going to Villanova.

435
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 3: And then.

436
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 4: Not just ended up guess up being one of my

437
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 4: best men or one of my grooms men. Yeah, this dude.

438
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 4: So it's crazy. That's the real story. No one really

439
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: remembers the first time they met me.

440
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: So it's really sad.

441
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 6: Mchael and you kind of blanked out too, or you didn't.

442
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 6: You just were like I didn't like it.

443
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: One of those dudes that pops up in your life.

444
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 2: It just never goes anywhere. Yeah, you don't really know

445
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: how he got there. He got there, just there. Yeah,

446
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: he's just everybody needs one of that, exactly, everybody does.

447
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 5: Sorry, man, you're a good guy.

448
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: I was. It's not a bad thing. I think that's

449
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: like a compliment whatever.

450
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 5: I wasn't a grooms one.

451
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: But but no, man, but tell you there, I was there.

452
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: This wasn't a groomsman or in the we're officiating, yeah,

453
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: or end up brought a party or ring bearer, not

454
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: even an usher.

455
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 5: But but you know what you got.

456
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,080

Speaker 5: Oh we do got a podcast.

458
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 2: And I'm not I didn't even get the call. This

459
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: is crazy.

460
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 5: You can come over to see a bro. We can

461
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 5: figure it out.

462
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: That's cool. Shout out Jason.

463
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 3: We could always use a fourth co host. Yeah, we

464
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: could always use a fourth cast.

465
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 6: We can switch Bland white co hosts for like not

466
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 6: Bland white cast.

467
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 5: It definitely wouldn't be the Bland one, so you wouldn't

468
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 5: be the Bland.

469
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: So we can we can think hibout, we can talk.

470
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 6: I think he's probably the least blanned like white guy ever.

471
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 2: So I'm not having.

472
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: But I just keep my mouth shut.

473
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: The basketball talk, talk about the the success you've had

474
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: obviously at like I said, one out of twenty of

475
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: state championship, NCAA championship, you know, NBA championship. So talk

476
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: about the success, talk about the process that you've learned

477
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: in each level and you know, the just the ins

478
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: and outs of it.

479
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: I mean basketball, I mean high school, high school, you know,

480
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: you know from like coach right saying it and everything,

481
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: it's like you're always the best player. Michael Jordan, Delaware,

482
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan of Delaware. Wasn't it? That wasn't That's a

483
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: real fa That wasn't really like a compliment, bro, Like

484
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: it was like Michael Jordan's No, it was like because

485
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: I thought I was nice in high school, so I'm

486
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: getting I go to NOVA coaches like what do you

487
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 2: think you are? Michael Jordan and Delaware was like and

488
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: it was like it was like it but like then

489
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: it turned into like a compliment and it just ran

490
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: with it. But like initially that wasn't like a thing

491
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh he's so it was like who,

492
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: like who do you think you are? You got to

493
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: learn and I really didn't know. I didn't know how

494
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 2: to play basketball in terms of like high IQ wise

495
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: until getting to Nova. Really I was just athletic, faster

496
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 2: than jump higher, all that stuff. And that's what and

497
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 2: that's what's crazy. The guys that ye had more than

498
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: half eight, I would say, like all the guys that

499
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 2: have high IQ's, good footwork, everything, that's what stands out,

500
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: you know what I mean in the NBA. But who

501
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: you asked me winning it? Every level high school is

502
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: high school, like Delaware, small states.

503
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: So yeah, you had to work for nothing.

504
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: That's a lie. That's a lie.

505
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: That's a lie.

506
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: It was still hard, That's what said.

507
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 3: Jesus.

508
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry college you go into college take sixteen away.

509
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: I don't because I got hurt. Like, yes, I got it,

510
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: but eighteen is really Josh had left, he was already

511
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: in the NBA. But eighteen winning at that level, like

512
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: you look at our team, we we should have won

513
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 2: that year. Like it was one of those teams where

514
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 2: you look at it, you had Jalen, Phil McHale, who

515
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: else Eric and Lamar Eric Eric and am Colin me

516
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: like Jermaine Samuels and Dada Like out of that you know,

517
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: out of your top eight or nine, you had seven dudes,

518
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 2: eight dudes play NBA minutes in a game, like you

519
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: should you should have at least done something with that team.

520
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 2: So I mean that level you just I just you know,

521
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: chalk it up to playing with you know, really good players.

522
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 6: But for someone who came out of high school, super athletics,

523
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 6: super skilled, hadn't played in the system, as do you

524
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 6: feel like Bleanova's the best, like looking back, is the

525
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 6: best place you could have gone to like really learn

526
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 6: how to play within the system.

527
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've said this to a bunch of people around me.

528
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: Is this is no you know, knock on any other

529
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 2: program or anything. But like I for me personally, I

530
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 2: don't know if I would be in the same exact

531
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: situation now if I didn't go to Nova. And not

532
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: to say that I didn't you know, believe that I

533
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: would make the NBA and all this stuff. But like

534
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: Coach Right, like I did not have Like college wasn't

535
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 2: like sunshine and rainbows for me playing for Coach Right,

536
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: but like looking back, that was the best thing possible

537
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: for me to be able to be here sitting with

538
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: y'all talking to y'all, Like I say that to everybody,

539
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: like I wouldn't be in this position without going there,

540
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 2: So one hundred percent, I think just the he doesn't

541
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 2: care as much basketball wise than he does turning like

542
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 2: boys into young men. And I think that was the

543
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: thing that he told my parents and they were like, nah,

544
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: you you got to go there, and you know, it

545
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: helped me going into the NBA of like how to

546
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 2: deal with a bunch of adversity.

547
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 4: Speaking on the adversity, I actually have a couple of

548
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 4: things to ask you, Like you said twenty sixteen, like

549
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 4: you got hurt, you didn't didn't play, Like what was

550
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: it like your your mindset after you broke your foot,

551
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden you're just you're out

552
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 4: for the rest of the year.

553
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: Like freshman year. College is different though for me because

554
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: like I think the only the hardest part was living,

555
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: you know, living with you, Like it's one thing to

556
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: get hurt and you know you're living in an apartment.

557
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: You're right, you're away from it, Like I'm living with

558
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: somebody who's a key piece of the championship team, So

559
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: like it kind of eats at you a little bit

560
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: more like you can't like I can't. That was in

561
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: a boot, like I can't do anything, And I don't

562
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: know if he remembers this. I would like try stuff

563
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: like take my boot off and try to walk without

564
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: my boot. Let's to see, am all right? Does this

565
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: hurt still? Like I was trying to like force it.

566
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: But at the time where I was I got, you know,

567
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: got healthy, it was too late.

568
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 3: He took a red trar.

569
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: I applied for medical redshirt.

570
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 7: I told you, man, this is another story, like like

571
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 7: you go through like I forgot, like the teams we played,

572
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 7: but like we'll go through like scouts ie, like yo,

573
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 7: we got these actions Oklahoma.

574
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: You know, he goes Buddy like he played like Buddy heel.

575
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: Bakes us just like he's on Scout team besid.

576
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: By the time I got healthy, it was too late

577
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: to try to come back like.

578
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: Him and like walk on like Pat Farrell and Henry

579
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: like and Eric Eric like like baking. And we're like

580
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: after practice, we're like, yeah, tastes nice, but like Buddy might,

581
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Buddy might by.

582
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 4: Way scared for sure because we played them this is

583
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: obviously that's a practice before the Final four. So we

584
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: played them early in the season in Hawaii. We flew

585
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 4: twelve hours smacked to get smacked. That's that's when I

586
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 4: was healthy too, Like we got snacked up and so

587
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: like he's practicing as Buddy Hill and we were like

588
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 4: trying to guard him.

589
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: We're like, bro, this is.

590
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: Over, I think. And we ended up winning by what

591
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: we ended up winning large as the largest figure large

592
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: Final four. But like from for me, that was the

593
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: most fun because I had no like you have no

594
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: pressure coach, not saying anything to me. I'm taking shots

595
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: over two three people. If you go in, they get

596
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: yelled at. If it doesn't, they're like, all right, coolgle yah,

597
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: Like what I don't transition, because we were trying to

598
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: mimic him, like in the Final four, so like transition.

599
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: I was pulling up from anywhere and making everything. But

600
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: I like them like the comp if you miss it, no,

601
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: what is the percussion, They're like, all right, next play exactly.

602
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: So that's what really started, like the confidence factor, you

603
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: know what I mean, that's crazy my next question.

604
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 4: We can cut this if he doesn't want to answer it.

605
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 4: Twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, right, we had I

606
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 4: thought you were going to start and then Dante ended

607
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 4: up coming off the bench all year and being that

608
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: six man for US. Probably I think he was like

609
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 4: third and scoring for US, I think maybe, But like mentally,

610
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 4: how did you get over that hurdle? Because that's that's

611
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 4: another hurdles you to get over, and you're just like

612
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 4: like when is this going to stop?

613
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: I think it wasn't an issue in terms of like

614
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: and like who was starting, because like what Phil had

615
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: had done in his career and what was insane. So

616
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: it wasn't the fact that like who, but like it

617
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: was the It was the like I thought I should start.

618
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't necessarily mean like in that you know for him,

619
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: but just the way you know, the numbers were on

620
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: the team, he was like listen, like somebody gotta come

621
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: off the bench. And I think just the conversation with

622
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: coach right and everything, and then once the season started going,

623
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: just being able to come in off the bench and

624
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: like just who going back to like the same thing

625
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: about the buddy heel stuff, Like coming in that year

626
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: was like almost all the pressures on the starters. So

627
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: like at practice, the way there was like the blue

628
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: team and the white team, Like the white team, we

629
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: really didn't get yelled at as much like it was

630
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: all on the blue team. So like once again, like

631
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: I'm kind of playing with my confidence and building it

632
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: and building it and at the same time, like, yes,

633
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: now I'm getting yelled at a little bit more, but

634
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: not as much. If I made that jump from then

635
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: straight onto the blue team, then it's like, how do

636
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: I handle getting yelled at as much? But it was

637
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: like a progression for me, Like coming in off the bench,

638
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: I just got the hoop, just do whatever I need

639
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: to do. If I'm hot, I stay in. If I'm not,

640
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: he gets me out. And that's kind of just how

641
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: it went. He was hot more times than that. Let's

642
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: just be real. There was one game I'll never forget this.

643
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: There was one game Phil got sick or got hurt

644
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: or something, played Butler at home and coach played me

645
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: forty minutes all forty minutes. Came in and did not remember.

646
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: He was like, wow, you played forty minutes, and I

647
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I'm exhausted. I was like, I don't

648
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: want to do this again. So when we were at

649
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: full you know, full health, that was like when it

650
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: was more fun for me, because everybody in the starting

651
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: lineup was you know, was eating and then I get

652
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: off the bench and then I get to do my

653
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: thing as well.

654
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 6: There's something liberating about being like a six man where

655
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 6: your only.

656
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: Job is to just get hot.

657
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: I just got You get to watch the game to

658
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 2: start the game, to see like, oh, like that dude

659
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: can't guard nobody, or that dude's hot, like I want

660
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: to try to take pride and trying to shut him off,

661
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: or something like. You get to see how the flow

662
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: of the game's going. So it wasn't you know, it was?

663
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: It was fun coming off the bench a year. That

664
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: whole year was fun. I think practices were like harder

665
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: than games with those practice were like I think they

666
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: were like coming up with different drills and different practices,

667
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: like to make everything harder for us because we were

668
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: just we're very well connected and we are having fun.

669
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 2: I think that was the coolest thing, Like we're blowing

670
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: teams out and just having fun doing it.

671
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

672
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 2: One.

673
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 6: So obviously anyone who had played against you, and certainly

674
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 6: your teammates that year, you were on their radar. But

675
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 6: from a from a national perspective and from an NBA

676
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 6: p inspective. Twenty seventeen twenty eighteen, you might not have

677
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 6: been on as many people's radars. Obviously you went off

678
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 6: in the National Championship.

679
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 3: Game thirty thirty one.

680
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 6: Were you did you have intentions to go prior to

681
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 6: that or were you like, Holy, the iron's really hot,

682
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 6: Like I just made a name for myself on the

683
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 6: national stage.

684
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 3: It's time to go.

685
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: I definitely wanted to. Like that was like the first

686
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: couple of years of like the testing, testing the water stuff,

687
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: and I was like, like, the way I've my confidence

688
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: was like, I'm just doing to test the waters anyway,

689
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: just to see, like to get feedback. And then the

690
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: game happened and tested the waters and it was like

691
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: kind of hit or missfeedback. So I was like, all right,

692
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 2: well some is some's good, some's bad. So I don't

693
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: know if that's normalis my first time going through this.

694
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: What do I do? And then once I got the

695
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: Combine invite, everybody thinks like, oh, the championship game happened

696
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 2: and he just jumped on the draft board. That wasn't

697
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: That wasn't it at all. It was how do I

698
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: get the invite to the Combine? And then once I

699
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: went to the Combine, what the NBA is a lot.

700
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: Now is the athleticism, the speed, this and that. I was,

701
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 2: you know, top whatever in each category. And then we

702
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: played and I played well. And what stood out that

703
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 2: I was told afterwards was I played the second day.

704
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 2: A lot of guys were like, that played well. They're like,

705
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: all right, I'm not gonna play the second day. Well,

706
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: I wanted to play because I didn't know where I

707
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 2: was falling on the draft board. And then after that,

708
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: you know, I got I made my decision once that

709
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 2: I was kind of confirmed, like, hey, listen, I don't

710
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: think you're gonna go in the second round. I think

711
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna be first round pick. And that's when my

712
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: I was like, if I'm gonna be a first round

713
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: and that's that's my cue to like go to the NBA.

714
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 2: And then I got an invite to the green room,

715
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: so like that was like even another step. I was like,

716
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: I was hesitant to go to the green room though

717
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that. I don't know. I didn't

718
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: want to be. I didn't want to be one of

719
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 2: those guys that like is just sitting there and I

720
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: knew Michal was going and like that's that weighs into everything.

721
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 2: So I was like, they I just want to stay

722
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 2: at the crew, but my family is like, now, let's

723
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: do it. Let's just see what happens. I was all right,

724
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 2: I was nervous. I was nervous. Good decisions, it was.

725
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 2: It was a good decision.

726
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

727
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 6: At the end of the day was that I don't

728
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 6: even think we've ever talked about draft night for you.

729
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 6: Obviously you went forty fifth. Did you expect to go higher?

730
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: And with.

731
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 5: Am I thinking of, I don't.

732
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: Know, I'll look it up. I know Eric was like

733
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: forty one.

734
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 6: Maybe that's what I was thinking of.

735
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: Did you expect.

736
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 5: I'm like that you went forty fifth?

737
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 6: Dang, all right, fake news? Was it stressful? Like did

738
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 6: you expect earlier or were you I know.

739
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 4: What to expect, bro, I I'll say like I felt

740
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: like I feel like that move that that night time

741
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 4: is moving so slow?

742
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: What it's so slow?

743
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 4: And like I'm like watching like all these dudes get

744
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 4: drafted and like they say, like my range is between

745
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 4: like twenty and like forty, So the first like fifteen

746
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 4: twenty picks, I'm like.

747
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: Cool, that's because this namely had a whole draft.

748
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like three hours already. Yeah, and so I

749
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 4: remember obviously were at that restaurant and like everyone else

750
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 4: having a good time whatever. Like I'm literally sitting like

751
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 4: in a high like a high stool chair, like and

752
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 4: the TV is like in the corner of the restaurant.

753
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 4: I'm just sitting there just like watching the TV the

754
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: entire night while everyone's like it's like one of those

755
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 4: like movie scenes where like it's just you and everything

756
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 4: around you just moving. I'm just like sitting there watching it.

757
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 4: I'm just it was stressful for sure, Bro, it was.

758
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: I was we have I was like, did you go

759
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: to James?

760
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

761
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 2: See, I like that was something that I like when

762
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 2: you're going in the same draft, like you almost have

763
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 2: your own separate thing, but everybody kind of wants to

764
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: go to each other. Like his was easy because everybody

765
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: he was at his right.

766
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah I was.

767
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: I was.

768
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: Look, I was the same with him, but I was

769
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: in there. I was like twenty five or thirty five.

770
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: So once I get to like eighteen, I'm chilling.

771
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: They get it.

772
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: And then they started getting like twenty and then like ticking,

773
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: getting a little nervous.

774
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: I was like I knew.

775
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 5: I was like on Okase's board.

776
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: Then it took we guessed Terrence Ferguson where with like

777
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: four points in Austeria basketball, but somehow got drafted twenty.

778
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 3: Third and here we go.

779
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, but anyways, but I.

780
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 6: Was just saying, you were also on San Antonio's board,

781
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 6: and Derek White ended up being a really good pick.

782
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,279

783
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 6: good draft.

784
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 2: The way the draft is though, like, there's no way

785
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 2: Jaylen should have went thirty three. Yeah, like if you

786
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: redraft everybody is if you redraft everybody, you can you know,

787
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 2: every draft, you can say there's whatever how many picks,

788
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 2: ten fifteen picks in the first round. You're like, why

789
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 2: did he go there? But I don't know if you

790
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: know this, your pops after you got drafted and everybody,

791
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,440

Speaker 1: new guy, the rookie, what's his name?

853
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh Jacques. He's like, oh yeah, yeah,

854
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 2: that's how you're saying, and then.

855
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: Trying like like no, no, no, that's that's not it.

856
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: But he was like, oh U that's what I'm like.

857
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: But it's fun, you know what I mean, It's get

859
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,959

00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 5: the games? Good question?

861
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 2: No, not at all. Depends on depends on the game.

862
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 5: A nice little I don't want to talk about it

863
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 5: because I drink it, but like you have been on a.

864
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: Thanks, that's all we're going to talk about. Gonna leave

865
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: it at that.

866
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 4: At Woner World, the Brunton and heart being New York

867
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 4: play a big part in choosing the Knicks during free agency.

868
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: I mean absolutely, obviously he was looking at a couple

869
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 2: other teams, but you look at, you know, situations, I

870
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: think when you're making this decision, Yeah, you look at

871
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: the money everything, but like you look at the situations

872
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: like going to New York, what is it going to be, Like, Oh,

873
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 2: obviously I'm not getting to know a bunch of new people.

874
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 2: I have, you know, familiar faces there, so one hundred

875
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 2: like that was that was kind of an easy decision

876
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: once once you know, teams narrowed down and everything, it

877
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: was an easy decision for me to make it.

878
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 3: Man, does it feel like the no for locker room?

879
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: No? No, not at all. Yeah, I don't even close.

880
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 2: It's close, but still very far removed. We've got it.

881
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 2: We've got that.

882
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk Nick's underscore. What has it been your favorite

883
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: fan interactions since coming to New York. How did it

884
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: compare to Milwaukee and Golden State.

885
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 2: It's crazy, it's like three very different kind of fan bases.

886
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 2: I think. Starting with Milwaukee, it's like almost like the

887
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 2: hometown type of vibe, like you have a lot of

888
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 2: your you know stores there, their mom and pops and

889
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So yeah, small markets, you can go

890
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 2: to dinner and like sit down with people and you know,

891
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 2: they don't really they don't really like geek out over

892
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 2: players being in their restaurant because it's so normal, like

893
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: everybody goes you know, everybody knows everybody. Basically, you go

894
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 2: to Golden State and it's almost like the fan base

895
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 2: is is so big, like you have so many fans,

896
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 2: you know, from overseas. I think that was the biggest thing.

897
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: That was a you know shock to be like how

898
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 2: many fans actually, which led to me, you know, signing

899
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: a shoe deal with the Chinese shoe company. Like the

900
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 2: fan base like over Yeah, the fan base for them,

901
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 2: like overseas is insane. Then you go to New York

902
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 2: and it's like fan interactions, like it's insane to come

903
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: out of the tunnel to go pregame, shoot and the

904
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 2: whole Like I don't know how many roads are just

905
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 2: filled up with people already you know, waiting to say

906
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: hi to you, and you know, kids waiting for autographs

907
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: and stuff, and kind of I think you were saying this,

908
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 2: I don't know when you were saying this, but like

909
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 2: kind of fans like what's up, Jalen and keep it moving.

910
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 2: It's very like that's the similarity to Milwaukee. You can

911
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 2: be at a restaurant, Josh, what up, good game last night?

912
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 2: And they keep it moving. And I think that's you know,

913
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: as players, that's what we kind of appreciate the most

914
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 2: because you want the fan interaction, but like you.

915
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 5: You don't want the life story.

916
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want you don't want to always here.

917
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to be that guy. But yeah, oh

918
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,479
Speaker 2: my god, but you are. But yeah, so I hate

919
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: to do this, but yeah, but you get that in

920
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 2: the interaction. For me, I love it, especially when I'm

921
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 2: with my family, Like for them, it never you know,

922
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: it never gets old. Like my nephew. I'm always talking

923
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 2: to my nephews, like, why do so many people come

924
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 2: up to you? Like he doesn't, like he's starting to

925
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: understand it now he's eight years old, about to turn nine,

926
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: but like maybe nice about to turn on. She's at

927
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 2: the Knicks Recap asked, what's your favorite nickname? Big rag Goo,

928
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 2: Nancy's Inferno, Michael Jordan, Delaware, or something else. I think

929
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 2: Big Grag is kind of taking taking on. I mean,

930
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: nobody really calls me so hard Gus Johnson Johnson, and

931
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: I think that's the one that's kind of taken off

932
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: the most, like fans like it the most. I don't

933
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: really have anybody. I don't. You don't have I don't.

934
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 2: I mean it seems like a great thing to do.

Speaker 5: I mean it's one of those things where it's like.

1118
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: I was just like everyone's going to like tell you

1119
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: like their own experiences, but like, at the end of

1120
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: the day, nothing else.

1121
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 5: But like every kid it's different.

1122
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: Every kid's development is different, and it's like, you know,

1123
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: you might have a kid at the same time as

1124
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: someone else and they might say to the first word

1125
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: that they might walk first or whatever, but bro, what's up.

1126
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's just like

1127
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: it's just like enjoyed.

1128
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 5: Like are you pooping?

1129
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 2: I never could go.

1130
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: Yes, that's crazy, but no, Yeah, I think this is enjoyed, bro,

1131
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: because it goes fast, right, it goes faster almost one already.

1132
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 2: Let them let the.

1133
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 3: People know who you are, right, hey's talking.

1134
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 6: So Dante, you played with some amazing players Stout your career,

1135
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 6: Giannis staph Clay. What was that experience? Like, where are

1136
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 6: they similar? Where are they different?

1137
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 2: You know Stephan, you know Stephan Giannis have a lot

1138
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 2: of differences obviously, and how they play the game, positions,

1139
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: body types, all this stuff, But the similarity is like

1140
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: how they approach every single day and like how they

1141
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 2: want to be the best, you know, best person in

1142
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 2: the NBA. How they want to be the best person

1143
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 2: on your team. Like I don't know the numbers exactly

1144
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, but you know how

1145
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 2: like we have like the Noah stuff, it keeps the track,

1146
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 2: Like we all got in a lot of shots last year,

1147
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 2: and then there was like whoever was second, and then

1148
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 2: like add like another like ten thousand on top of that,

1149
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 2: and then that was stuff like the gap between him

1150
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:06,479
Speaker 2: to the next guy in terms of just pure work

1151
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 2: was insane. And I only you know, I was only

1152
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 2: around it for you know, not even twelve months, and

1153
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 2: Janie I spent you know, four years with him. And

1154
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 2: every single day he was in the gym days where

1155
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 2: you know, you have blackout days and no one's allowed

1156
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 2: in the gym, and he's still in there. So I

1157
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 2: think it, you know, it's a credit to them of

1158
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 2: how much time and effort they put in playing with

1159
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 2: them is there. It's so much fun. It's like one

1160
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: of those things you're gonna tell your kids when you know,

1161
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 2: after all the basketball stuff's over, Like you see him,

1162
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 2: see him, like your dad played with him, like the

1163
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 2: amount of attention, like the amount of attention that both

1164
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 2: of them brings. But it's completely different like tension. Like Yannis,

1165
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 2: you obviously know what he he wants to do. Everybody

1166
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 2: loads up in the paint and he's still somehow either

1167
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 2: gets the free throw line, gets a dunk, whatever, Steph,

1168
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Like I watched it where you're he's running around like

1169
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 2: he won't even bring the ball up, Like he'll be

1170
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 2: like here you got it, and just run around hit Draymond, Nope,

1171
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 2: don't like it, go back and pass past, past and

1172
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 2: run and you'll see like two or three guys end

1173
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 2: up chasing him. And that's how like I got, you know,

1174
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 2: four to six points a game of just come here,

1175
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 2: let me set the screen for you. Steph, yep, everybody

1176
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 2: go with him. I just slip to the basket. And

1177
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 2: it's just a different type of attention. But it's something

1178
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 2: that you know, I've never I've never seen before and

1179
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 2: there and they're also the great, great great teammates. Steph

1180
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 2: is you know everything you think is what he is.

1181
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 2: And same with Jannis. Everybody thinks that you know, when

1182
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 2: you get a certain levels, you know, start them or

1183
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 2: whatever it is. Like you act differently those two guys don't.

1184
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 2: Like Honest is still goofy. He still plays around like

1185
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 2: he's still a kid at heart. And that's what kind

1186
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 2: of makes you respect them even more because like you

1187
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 2: can approach them on some like real like and they

1188
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 2: give you their They're not going to give you like

1189
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 2: some life lesson type of thing. They're going to give

1190
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 2: you their perspective and what they've been through.

1191
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 6: And everything that talked earlier about how Villanova you face

1192
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 6: a lot of adversity there and prepared you for adversity

1193
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 6: in the league.

1194
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 3: What's some of adversity that you face in the league.

1195
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 2: I think the you know, the two things that I

1196
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 2: face were one winning the championship but getting hurt. You know,

1197
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 2: like you're faced with this you know question can you

1198
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 2: come back? But if you do come back and the

1199
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 2: same thing happens, now you're facing long term you know,

1200
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 2: issues with your ankle and stuff. So like that was

1201
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: the adversity, like taking you know, the surgery and not

1202
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 2: being able to be out there for the run because

1203
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 2: I was you know, I started every game that season

1204
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 2: and I felt like I was a key piece. So

1205
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 2: that the adversity for me was you know, yes, there's

1206
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 2: the side of being a good teammate and always you

1207
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 2: know you're not there, you're on the team. But at

1208
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 2: the same time, it's like that's a tough pill to swallow,

1209
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 2: going from starting every game to not playing and watching

1210
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 2: this team win a championship. I don't care what you say.

1211
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 2: It's the competitive side of everybody wants to be out there.

1212
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: Do I say the ring doesn't count? Hell no, that counts,

1213
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 2: Like I would never give that back, Like I won

1214
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 2: a championship in the NBA, now was it? Like I said,

1215
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 2: it was an adversity for me to tough pill to swallow,

1216
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 2: Like I'm watching each series like what I could do

1217
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 2: out there, and then you're in the finals and you're

1218
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 2: just sitting there and I'm watching McHale and I'm like,

1219
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 2: all I want to do is play like against Book

1220
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 2: and against CP and against McHale, Like this is all

1221
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to do, and you're just there's nothing you

1222
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 2: can do. So that's the adversity of dealing with that.

1223
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 2: On the mental side of things, like you don't really

1224
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,479
Speaker 2: know until you like are going through it. It's easy

1225
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 2: to say like oh yeah, just you know, be on

1226
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 2: the sideline, be a good teammate, cheer cheer cheer, and

1227
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, you do that, but at the same time,

1228
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 2: you got to go home. Like when you go home,

1229
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 2: like that's when all the you know, your thought process

1230
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 2: starts spinning, like dangn what's gonna happen next? And then

1231
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 2: fast forward to the next year I get traded. It's like, yeah,

1232
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 2: the year before, year before, yeah I got traded. Nope,

1233
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 2: come on back. And then the following year, I got

1234
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: traded to the same team and they're like, Okay, now

1235
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna go. But now I got traded there, and

1236
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 2: then you know, not getting a qualifying offer. That was

1237
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 2: like that was like a real big moment in my

1238
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 2: career where I was like, whoa time out, y'all not

1239
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 2: giving me a qualifying offer, Like what's next? Like I
