1 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: And what up? 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 2: Welcome in. This is all ball. We're live in Las 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: Vegas at the site of NBA Con NBA Con, which 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: is interesting, right because I think and I know it's 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 2: a conference, that's the idea behind it, right, but it 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: feels like this is all Hey, comic Con is a 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: really good idea, very successful. What if we did NBA con? 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: And does the con? Should Comic Con have trademarked the 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,639 Speaker 2: con part to their name? 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 3: Right? 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: It's like every scandal is now a gate that all 12 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: comes from the Watergate scandal, even though that was actually 13 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 2: the name of the Watergate hotel that was broken into 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: This is comic Con anyway, this is NBA Con. So 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: the idea behind in this is the first ever NBA 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: Con is look NBA team executives, players, veterans, stars, and 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: of course the rookies and second years, the guys try 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: to make the league. Since the NBA moved the summer 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: league here about a decade ago, it's become the hub. 20 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: And here's the weird thing. If you're listening to this podcast, 21 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: you probably already know this because you know me, I 22 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 2: grew up in southern California. I was a hooper and 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: the way aau high school, middle school hoops used to work. 24 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: Was there was a big Easter tournament here was called 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: the May West I believe it was May West Easter Invitational, 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: huge tournament, and then gosh, I forget who. Then there 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: was the Nike National Championship was here in July at 28 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: the North and South Gym at UNLV. So UNLV has 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: thomasin Mack which opened in I think the. 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 4: Late eighties, mid to late eighties, and they used to play. 31 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: The Convention Center of five thousand seed building right next 32 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: to the Las Vegas Hill. They moved to thomasin mac 33 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: but on campus where they practiced again. This is before 34 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: they built the practice facility, and there's actually the practice 35 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: facility which has multiple courts. They have two arenas over 36 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: at Vegas. That's why it's a great site for the 37 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: Summer League because the Summer League used to be at 38 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: Long Beach State Before that, it was at Loila, Marymount, 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: then with at Gerston Pavilion, then it was at the Pyramid. 40 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: When I played for the Lakers, it was at the 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: Pyramid at Long Beach, and then I think a little 42 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: over a decade ago, it moved here. And it made 43 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: sense because USA basketball would have their practices here, they 44 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: play an exhibition game here. It's Vegas in the summer, 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: and though it's ungodly hot, at least it gives you 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: some other stuff to do. And most Hoopers had always 47 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 2: been coming here because though the spring stuff was more 48 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: West Coast based and the early summer stuff was West 49 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: Coast spate. July was when all the national AAU tournaments 50 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: were in Las Vegas. So I think it's it's been 51 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: a great idea. And then this is like, hey, everybody's 52 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: here anyway, let's kind of formalize it and make it 53 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: a convention. And that's always been one of the things 54 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: that NBA people have. I don't know if you want 55 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: to idolized or really liked about the Final Four. Like 56 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: what you don't know about the Final Four is the 57 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: Final Four is actually the convention for college basketball coaches. 58 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: So and you also have all Star games, and so 59 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: the NBA just took bits of the Oh comic CON's 60 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: a great idea. Final four is a great idea. The 61 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 2: NFL doesn't really have this, although I'm sure they're going 62 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: to copy it. The NFL draft is the one that 63 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: everybody points to, but really it's I think it's the 64 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: combine that they want to make into their own convention. 65 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 2: So the NBA has decided, hey, let's make a convention. 66 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: And the peak moment for the convention for NBA con 67 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: is not necessarily me broadcasting. 68 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 4: It's Victor webin Yama. 69 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: We got to see him in a quasi NBA uniform 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: last night on the court at Thomas and Mack. We 71 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: also saw you know, Brandon Miller. We also we got 72 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: a chance to see Scoot play. Scoot Henderson, who is 73 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: the number three picks. We saw the number one and 74 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: number two picks play against one another and then number 75 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: three pick play. And of course he heard his shoulder 76 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: which did look like a legit injury. Don't know if 77 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: he plays today. Let's start with Victor webbin Yama. I 78 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: think it's safe to say that we were underwhelmed, right, Like, 79 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit here and go like, hey, he's nineteen, 80 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: he just got off the plane and he stinks, get 81 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: rid of him, send him back, spurs got a bust. 82 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's definitely going to be shows on 83 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: television where people are going to raise their voices and 84 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 2: say he's terrible, he's horrible. 85 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 4: This is. 86 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: These are the same shows who I heard people say, 87 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: legitimate people who followed the sport, who vote on All 88 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: Star games and MVPs say he's going to be an 89 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 2: All Star this year. And you're like, yo, do you know? 90 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: Here's the thing? And I learned this the old fashioned way. 91 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: I was a really really good player. I was an 92 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 2: All American high school, was a really good player in college. 93 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 2: The jump from high school to college is big. The 94 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: come from college to pro is so gigantic you cannot 95 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: possibly understand how difficult and different it is. And then 96 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: you factor in he wasn't actually playing against pros last night, right. 97 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: There are four hundred and fifty NBA players in the 98 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: entire Solar system, four hundred and fifty. There are eight 99 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: million people on Earth. There are four hundred and fifty 100 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: NBA players. So the jump is gigantic, And it's really 101 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: important to point out that, like your what is your 102 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: default setting? Maybe this is the best way of expiating it. 103 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: What is your default setting? 104 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 3: Right? 105 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: And your default setting is whatever you've done your whole life. 106 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: You know, we all try and grow and improve, but 107 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: at some point you go back to your default right 108 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: as as a radio host you know, and a TV 109 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: personality like, look, I know a lot about football, I 110 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: played it growing up. My best to stay engaged with gms, 111 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: in front office people, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, I 112 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: have great fans that are baseball agents, baseball players, former 113 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: baseball players. Of course, I played baseball up until high 114 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: school as a kid. My son played baseball for a 115 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: long time at a pretty high level for a little kid. 116 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: I love baseball, but my default is the basketball, and 117 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: having played basketball in America for I'm forty seven, so this. 118 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 4: Is I don't know, forty years. 119 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: My default is like, I know what American basketball feels like, 120 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 2: play is like. And by the way, most conversations in 121 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: my brain, it's like if you ever learn a different language, 122 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: you think you still think in English, right, and native 123 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: Spanish speakers will tell you like they speak Spanish, but 124 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: they think they speak English, but they think in Spanish. 125 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: For Victor Webbin Yama, I don't know if you want 126 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: to say he's thinking in French or his default is 127 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: French basketball or international basketball. It is a different sport. 128 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: It is a feba. Basketball is so different it's really 129 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: hard to articulate. 130 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 4: Most of the. 131 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: Rules are the same, but the way their officiator different. 132 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: And I don't think the Spurs, I don't think they 133 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: did wrong by him, but I'm not sure you did 134 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: right by him in how they did it right. 135 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 4: He said he hadn't practiced. 136 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: With him, and he hadn't really practiced him anemo he 137 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: worked out with him, he didn't. 138 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 4: Really know what he was doing. 139 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: And then it gets back to your default, right, And 140 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: I love the fact that he was like, yeah, I 141 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: didn't play that well, but at least you know we won. 142 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: So his default is like, you know, you play to win. 143 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: Look NBA Summer League, and my default was, you know, 144 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: play to win as well. I learned the hard way 145 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: with you play with the Lakers. This is in nineteen 146 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: or two thousand and one NBA Summer League. Like I 147 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 2: came in my first game. I came in, We're playing 148 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: the Grizzlies. It's like a Wednesday night. Snoop Dogg's there, 149 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: and you know, I got in like end of the 150 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: second quarter, and I'd never in my life, I never 151 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: sat for forty five minutes and then had like two 152 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 2: minutes to kind of prove myself. And one I threw 153 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: an alley up to Devin George. Remember the former Laker 154 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: Devn George through an alleupe to Devon George, which I 155 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: was sure was a dunk. I was like Steph Curry 156 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: shooting at three, running back the other way, and it 157 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: got deflected. Because in basketball, you don't get longer everybody 158 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 2: else does. Right the windows when you're making passes or 159 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: the time you have to take a shot, it just 160 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: closes up so much more quickly. So I saw him, 161 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: it's open. I delivered the ball on time, on target, 162 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: and he got deflected. So I learned one that these 163 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: dudes are incredible, even the guys that barely play at 164 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: Devin George, Slava Medvedenko, they were all. 165 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 4: That they were on the team. 166 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: Like those dudes didn't play that much on the Lakers. 167 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: They were incredible. Their level was so much higher than 168 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: everybody else. They had so much a better pace and 169 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: understanding of where to be and how to play and 170 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: where to stand and how to defend and how to 171 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: stay out. 172 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 4: Of trouble and whatever. 173 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: But the other part too, it is I remember going 174 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 2: in at halftime and I had taken one shot, I 175 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: had one assist, and I had and that's really it 176 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: in like two minutes of work and I was like, hey, 177 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: I was doing the plus minus thing like Mike plus minuses. 178 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: We've done well. And one of the assistant coaches grabbed 179 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 2: me at the time. He's like, hey, dude, you don't 180 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 2: have a lot of time. You got to get in 181 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 2: there and do work. All right, everything is and what 182 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: you learn is those are shark infested waters. Like we're 183 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: watching to watch Victor webin Yama. Every dude on the 184 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 2: Charlotte Hornets is like, I want to kill Victor Webinyama. 185 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 4: Why not? 186 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: That's how that's the bat, that's you want mama mentality. 187 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: That's basketball mentality. And it's not just the NBA team 188 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 2: you're playing for, Like you're not just playing to make 189 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 2: the Hornets. 190 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 4: You're playing to get invited to play. And anybody's ain't 191 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 4: anybody's training camp, you know, to get a two way. 192 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: Or every high powered, high paying overseas roster. Everyone those 193 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 2: those teams they're all here. They're all here and they 194 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 2: paid lots of money, and so you got to go 195 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 2: in and do work. 196 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 4: And so as much as Victor webbin Yama's. 197 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 2: Probably used to one being the guy in his French team, 198 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: two running sets, the ball, moving around, playing friend style basketball. 199 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: His default is to how they play disorganized basketball in France. 200 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 2: It ain't how we played disorganized basketball here. Like here 201 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: it is attack attack, attack, attack. There, it's movement, movie, move, move, movement, 202 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: you know, ball screen attack, open, guy, get it. I 203 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: kind of stay out of trouble a little bit. If 204 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: you're open, shoot the ball. If not move it, let 205 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: somebody else. And I ain't how we play here. And 206 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: he was exhausted, and he was by his own accounts lost, 207 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: and he look he looked that bad. Now those things 208 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: can get adjusted, you know where you run a couple 209 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: of things to where he Hey, where do you want 210 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: to get the ball? I want to get the ball 211 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: here on the wing on a pick and pop. I 212 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 2: want to get the ball here on his you know, 213 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: catching on a zoom or handing off on a zoom. 214 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: The parts that were I think a little distressing to 215 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: me are one I didn't see great hands and hands 216 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 2: are like you know, the old definition of pornography. You 217 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: know you can't find it, you know when you see it, 218 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: that's hands, right, Like, watch Jokic play in the finals, 219 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: and obviously he's got incredible hands. But like the ball 220 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: goes up, there's three or four dudes that jump higher 221 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 2: than him. They get to get a rebound, and somehow 222 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: he just got got the ball and he's dribbling down 223 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: the court, like, how do you do that? 224 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: He's got great hands. Guys that have great hands have it. 225 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 4: Guys that don't don't, and you can improve, but you don't. 226 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 4: It's not really something you can fix or teach. It 227 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 4: didn't seem to have great hands. That was a little troubling. 228 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: And then look he's way thiny and he can tell 229 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: you all this bowl about well, you know, I don't 230 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: want to gain bulk. I just want like you know, 231 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: when he wants functional strength. That's great. Okay, he was 232 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: getting ragged off. It's not that you get ragged all 233 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: by stronger guys. That's gonna happen. He's nineteen. He hasn't 234 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: played this sort of scout. It was that when he 235 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 2: got the ball in the post a couple of times, 236 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 2: he didn't look good. You know, like dude gets into 237 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: excuse my language, but he gets guys get into their shit. 238 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 2: They get the ball, they take a peek for the double, 239 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 2: and they get into something. He just kind of like 240 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 2: jumped up in mid air and tried to throw it in. 241 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: He very much looked like a guy who did not 242 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: have a defined, a refined post game. And as much 243 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 2: as we can say, hey, Americans, a lot of them 244 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: don't have to refined post games, that's fair, but they 245 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: haven't been playing professional basketball in Europe, in France at 246 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: the pro A level. And oh yeah, by the way, 247 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: they're not seven foot three like he didn't just grow 248 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 2: like last week, and so you're trying to figure out, 249 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 2: like what is he? 250 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 4: He's a point center. He's much more comfortable on the perimeter. 251 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: So the handle, which everybody freaked out about because we 252 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 2: haven't seen seven with three guys handled like that. That's great, 253 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: but remember, if you can't score inside, if you're not 254 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 2: strong enough to and you don't like physicality, everything you 255 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: do is gonna have to be either getting by guys 256 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: or getting over guys, and they can get into you. 257 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: So obviously he's gonna have to add some speed, some 258 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: strength that'll come in time. I think he's working with 259 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: Melvin Sanders, who's actually a former oklame State cowboy, former 260 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: San Antonio Spur, Like I'm all for it. 261 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 4: I think that he's gonna be fine there. I'm a little. 262 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: Hesitant because of his hesitance towards physicality, right, staying away 263 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,359 Speaker 2: from physicality. 264 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 4: I don't love that. I really don't. 265 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: And you know, the other part to it is the 266 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 2: hands give me a little bit of the he be 267 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 2: cheepingsnu factor in man, he's thin, and you just worry 268 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 2: about him breaking in half. 269 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 4: That's a very reasonable thought. 270 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 2: You look at a dude who's seven feet tall, maybe 271 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 2: on two hundred pounds, and you worry. 272 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 4: I guess there's two parts to it. 273 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: One, it's in the process of putting on strength, in 274 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 2: the process of putting on weight, does he get hurt? 275 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 2: And then two when he eventually puts on weight, and 276 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: they all do on different levels. It's like, I mean, 277 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: look at Yannis now as opposed to be honest, when 278 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: he was drafted, and I don't know, you know, body 279 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: type wise, what it looks like when he ends up being, 280 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 2: you know, two thirty, he ends up being two fifty 281 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: and you're like, two fifty that sounds like a load. 282 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: He's seven foot three and a half, two hundred fifty 283 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: pounds on him, does not like to look like two 284 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 2: hundred fifty pounds on you and me. But I think 285 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: the fascinating thing to keep an eye on is as 286 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: he puts on strength, does his aggressiveness improve? 287 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 4: How they how do they improve his hands? 288 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: And maybe more than anything, can he change his mentality? Right, 289 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: because a pass first mentality is great, not in this 290 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: awful world of Summer League. And oh yeah, by the way, 291 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: you're the number one pick who and it wasn't his fault, 292 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: But dudes are like, if he's not a chem, if 293 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: he's a chem Elijah one, it's a disappointment. You don't 294 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: think that guys in the NBA are going to be 295 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: coming at him for days and trying to dunk on him. 296 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: I mean, he got dunked on last night by a 297 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: boardline NBA player. 298 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 4: It happens. 299 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: You know, you're seven to three, you're going to get 300 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: dunkd don everybody's gonna get dunkd on. 301 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 4: Everybody gets baptized. 302 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: But it was not a great celebration, celebratory night like 303 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: we've seen in Vegas many times over in the Summer League. 304 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 4: So it leaves us going, like, what did I just watch? 305 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 4: You ever watched that? 306 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 3: Like? 307 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 4: What did I just watch? 308 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: When you're told something's really good, and you go and 309 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: it has pieces of what could be really good, and 310 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: you want to understand it's a process, but the process 311 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: may be a little bit earlier in the development stage. 312 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: Then we thought heading in, that's a fair way to 313 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: look at it. You know, maybe this is I've never 314 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: watched a movie with rough cuts, you know, when you go, 315 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 2: you sit down and you watch the rough cut of 316 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: movie and you thought you thought you're gonna see like 317 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 2: a whole movie, and you're like, ooh, I don't know there. 318 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: Plot is kind of weird. There's some scenes I want 319 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: to cut out. You guys got to go back to 320 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 2: work and rethink this thing. So I walk away thinking 321 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: and Scoop was impressive. 322 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 4: If you've seen Scoot. 323 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 2: Henderson, you know, like that dude's body is a real deal. 324 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: The question is going to be about a shooting really 325 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: nothing else. Incredibly competitive player should be a competitive defensive player, don't. 326 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: I do think he kind of topped out in the 327 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 2: G League, that there was improvement there, but maybe not 328 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: the next step. And you're not playing super competitive games, 329 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: so it's hard to tell what he looks like in 330 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: playoff basketball different the regular seas. 331 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 4: But if I'm putting money down. 332 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: I've told people for the last couple of weeks, Scoot Henderson, 333 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 2: it should be your pick for NBA Rookie of the 334 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: Year because Portland's going to trade Damian Lillard. He's going 335 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: to be giving the ball. He's playing for a former 336 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: scoring point guard. And John Spills ays his coach, and 337 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 2: he's he's got a body, he's got a game. The 338 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 2: only question is going to be his development in his 339 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 2: jump shot. But early on your NBA career that in 340 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: the regular season, that's not as big of a holdback 341 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: as it is once you get to meaningful games. 342 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 4: That's for me. That's my that's my NBA Rookie of 343 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 4: the Year. 344 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: We'll see Chet Holmgren tonight saw Chet played twice in Sacramento. 345 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 2: A little stronger. Here's the difference in Chet and Wen Mignon. 346 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 2: Here's here's the biggest difference between the two. Chet is 347 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: not strong enough, but Chet has some Here's the basketball person. 348 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: He's got some shit to him, right, Like he sees 349 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 2: the physicality and he goes to it. We mean, Yama 350 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: was like, I want no part of that, you know, 351 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 2: I want zero part of that. So and look, he's 352 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 2: also been here his whole life. In terms of Chet, 353 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 2: he's also spent a year in rehabbing and then training 354 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: with Oklahoma City, so he's not blown away by the 355 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: size the physicality of it, but that mentality is the 356 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: difference to him. Look, Chet still Chet looks like he's 357 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: got to be a four because he's still still not strong, 358 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: he's not explosive. 359 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 4: He's got to shoot. He shoots it well, but he's 360 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 4: got to shoot a little bit better. 361 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: Not going by guys, but again, like it changes when 362 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: you get to real basketball because they put you in 363 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: positions where you can succeed, whereas here you're kind of 364 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: left to your devices. So the guys that are going 365 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: to flourish the most are one guys that have played 366 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: in the NBA. 367 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 4: I'm looking at the stats. Anybody's played in. 368 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: The NBA should be playing very well, averaging fifteen to 369 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 2: twenty points. It's like Keegan Murray, we're trying to get 370 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: him on the pod, right, Like Keegan Murray played for 371 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 2: Sacramento in the Summer League and he's putting up huge numbers. 372 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: Jabari Smith, they asked him why he played like he 373 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: didn't have a great rookie season, But this is a 374 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: great place to where you can get twenty five shots 375 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 2: and you've seen all the coverages, and at the end 376 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: of the day, you've played in the NBA for a year, 377 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 2: you're gonna be way better than anybody playing G League 378 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 2: or definitely playing college international basketball. 379 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 4: So we give Chet a. 380 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: Little bit of the benefit of doubt because like Blake Griffin, 381 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: like so many of the other guys, due to injury, 382 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: sat out a year added strength. I still am a 383 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: little cautious on Chet just because I don't know exactly 384 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: what he is on offense. 385 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 4: Is he a five? Is he a four? I do 386 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 4: know the NBA is. 387 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: Kind of evolving back to where you're playing two big guys. 388 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 2: He absolutely can protect the rim, but is he physical 389 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: enough to do that at a high level NBA game? 390 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: Considering Oklahoma City's a pretty high level team. I think 391 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 2: the issue with holding me back from Chet being a 392 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year is that he plays with Sae 393 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 2: Gilgess Alexander who's going to average thirty a game. He's 394 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 2: playing on a legit NBA playoff team, and so you're 395 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: not had he played this year, they would have had 396 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: time to develop Chet and play him twenty five thirty minutes. 397 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: Even if his play really didn't dictate that next year, 398 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City's kind of playing to win, like they don't 399 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: need to They don't need a tank anymore. They got 400 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: the dudes. So I think I think the smart pick 401 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: is Scoot Henderson to be your Rookie of the Year. 402 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: I'm not selling all my victory women, Yama Stock. I'm 403 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 2: just telling you that at first glance, that's what it 404 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: looks like. And there are a lot of people going, Oh, 405 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 2: don't worry, He's got a couple of games here. 406 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 4: Okay. 407 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 2: I don't know how often you play basketball, buddy, if 408 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: you are not in shape for whatever level of basketball 409 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: you're playing, and you play a game with that sort 410 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: of energy, that building was buzzing. 411 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 4: There was great energy. It was on fire. 412 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: I what a great night for the NBA right to have, 413 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 2: you know, two teams of guys that have maybe five 414 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: guys in. 415 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 4: The court they're gonna play in the NBA. 416 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 2: And the place was packed and it was a zoo 417 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: that sort of energy, and you saw he was completely 418 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 2: out of gas in the second half. So I want 419 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: you to imagine you being Victor Webinya. I'm a seven 420 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: ft three and a half waking up this morning in 421 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: his hotel suite. You know how sore he is, you 422 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: know how tired he is. Oh my god. And then 423 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: you're like, hey man, you got another game tonight. That 424 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: doesn't really mean anything to anybody except, you know, to 425 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 2: the NBA and the Spurs and to kind of your brand. 426 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's going to get much better. 427 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: I think he'll he'll hit a couple of shots. My 428 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 2: guess is just to guess that he'll play and if 429 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: he's playing well, they'll write it out. If he hits 430 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 2: a couple of shots, they'll take him out. And at 431 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 2: some point, probably after game three, they'll shut him down. 432 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: After he plays well, hits a couple of shots, they 433 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: want to shut him down. 434 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: And I don't think he plays a full season in 435 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 4: the NBA. 436 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: I know it's frustrating to all of us, but like 437 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 2: this is what happens when you draft a seven with 438 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: three dudees nineteen years old, right, you got to develop him, 439 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: and there's just not the time even now, like you 440 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: get done. 441 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 4: He's going to go back to sentence. 442 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 2: He's probably at some point got to go back to 443 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: France and get all this stuff. 444 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 4: You know, he's not just moving here and then he's 445 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 4: gonna start training. 446 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 2: There's just not enough time you got you start training 447 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 2: camp in September. 448 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 4: Right, it's mid July already, So I think they'll. 449 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: Use the first year as a toe in the water, 450 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: not jumping into the deep end. He'll play on some 451 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: made for TV games, And remember he plays for the Spurs, who, 452 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: even when they were NBA champions, they didn't care about 453 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 2: the league saying, hey, we're putting you on TV on 454 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: a Friday night against Lebron the heat they sat guys, 455 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: then they'll sit him this year. So to me, if 456 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 2: I'm betting, I'm going to the window the Rookie of 457 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: the year. 458 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 4: Most likely. 459 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 2: You have to get the ball, you have to play minutes, 460 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: you have to play on a team that's not gonna win. Right, 461 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: it's Scoot Henderson. That's just the reality of it. Because 462 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: we're all going to vote for a guy who puts 463 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 2: up the best numbers, and the only guy who could 464 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 2: maybe sneak into that conversation would be somebody like Chet 465 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 2: because Chet can put up some ridiculous block shot numbers 466 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 2: from all around stats. I just don't think he gets 467 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: the volume of touches and the volume of stats because 468 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 2: he's playing on a team. 469 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 4: That's really, really good. Do they need him? Yeah? Will 470 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 4: he play? 471 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? 472 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 4: Will he get the ball and score twenty game? Hell? 473 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 2: No, Shay Gilds Alexander is that team's offense, and then 474 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: they all kind of play around. 475 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 476 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: the nation.

But it's more the difference in 500 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: the style of basketball, right, because you famously were playing 501 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 2: the league, good play in the league, left and went 502 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: to Greece, and I was trying to relay to people 503 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 2: on how THINKBA is going to be fine? 504 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 4: Right, absolutely, but it's a it's a completely different It. 505 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 2: Looks the same, smells the same, the court's the same length, 506 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: three point line is almost the same now it's supposed 507 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: to when you played different But it's a it's kind 508 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: of a different sport.

I think it's much less emphasis on and 513 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: you know, fast break and getting out and scoring and 514 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 3: much more on the structure game, which is what he's 515 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 3: played in.

I don't think 521 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 3: the Spurs are worried. I don't think he's worried. But 522 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: it is a it's a shift in the game for sure. 523 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 4: When when you came out with Supper League, Lobby State. 524 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 3: That came out Summer League are Summer League was in 525 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 3: Salt Lake. 526 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 4: City, so so Salt Lake City Review, which they which 527 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 4: they have. 528 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 2: Now, what's that feeling like of the first time you 529 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 2: put on the logo? 530 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 3: Oh man, the nerves, the butterflies.

We had a 534 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 3: young team, you know, it was it was about four 535 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 3: of us that were you know, fresh out of high 536 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 3: school or early college.

Yah, 545 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: But like that's like the iconic if you could be 546 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: anywhere like that people are. It's diverse, it's smart at 547 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: the facility, like the everything's manicured perfectly. Now you've got 548 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 2: coaches that even live on campus. Like you got your 549 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: whole life in this one epicenter. It's like a utopia. Yep, 550 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 2: you're on your own. You're in Atlanta. 551 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 3: What was it like massive culture shock. I mean you 552 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 3: go from Morris County to Stanford and then to Atlanta, 553 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: a massive culture shot For me. I had great teammates 554 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 3: that helped me get used to the culture. But there's 555 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 3: a different world and especially leaving with Stanford, as you 556 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 3: mentioned it, it's its own little bubble that is unlike 557 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 3: anywhere else in the world. And so more from there 558 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 3: to Atlanta, which was high in g was entertainment capital 559 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 3: at the time. Uh, we had had a fun four 560 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 3: years for sure. 561 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: People I think whether they where they google you or 562 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: hoop heads or Whember, like, oh, you left the league 563 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: and went to went went to Greece kind of it 564 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: was a very unique path. 565 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 4: Why two reasons. 566 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 3: One, I didn't have a contract on the table here 567 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: in the league, and then secondly, I've always been open 568 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 3: to try something new, and I went over there, I 569 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 3: visited all went to visit Greece and wanted to take 570 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 3: on a new challenge. But I think had I had 571 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 3: a contract on the table, I mean maybe that doesn't happen. 572 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 2: So you get there and you're playing for one of 573 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: the powerful teams in all of Europe. 574 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 3: Which I didn't know at the time. I mean, you 575 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 3: didn't know. You only know you can see what just 576 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 3: in you know, YouTube and internet wasn't in the internet 577 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 3: back then. Yeah, so you see a few things on 578 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 3: TV and on the internet, but I didn't really understand 579 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 3: the power of oribacos. 580 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 4: You also did not think understood like even training camp. 581 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 3: Oh no, okay, so to the mountains. 582 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So training camp in Atlanta was at the facility. 583 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 3: At the facility once a day, once a day. You know, 584 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: it was a couple of weeks. We had some some 585 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 3: you know, some track time and you know, early or 586 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 3: late summer just to you know, get in shape, your condition. 587 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 3: But you know, for the most part, it was pretty relaxed, 588 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 3: and I had a coach, Mike Woodson, who was old 589 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,959 Speaker 3: school school all day, but you know, still it was 590 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 3: it was once a day and we went. 591 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 4: We went hard to have a woody impression. By the way, 592 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 4: everybody has a woppression. 593 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 3: I can't curse on air, so I'll just leave it there. 594 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 2: You could curse. This is podcast. Say whatever you want. 595 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 2: That's the beauty to podcast. You can you can drop 596 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 2: that pop Okay, fair enough. So you go to Olympiacos, 597 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: like this is a big, big thing that Josh Childress 598 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 2: is going to Olympiacos and leaving the NBA, and they're 599 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: like training camp is in mountains, in the mountains. 600 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 3: Took a three hour bus ride to the mountains. Yes, 601 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 3: it was just us in the resort, so no hanging out, 602 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 3: no no other source of activities. Yeah, we were just 603 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: there for like three weeks. 604 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 4: And again I did this in Russia. 605 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: So I'm guessing like some sort of running in the 606 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: morning and maybe lifting, and then you shoot for like 607 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 2: an hour and then you go, then you go have lunch, 608 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: take a nap, and then you go like two and 609 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 2: a half in the evening. 610 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, it's a tough schedule. Yes, it's a tough 611 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 3: and we had our strength coach. You know, strength conditioning 612 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 3: coach spent some time in the league, so he had 613 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 3: a little bit of seasoning in what you know league 614 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 3: training looked like. So you know we were a little 615 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 3: bit advanced from that perspective, but it's still it's a grin. 616 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 4: Was there a point where you're like, what am I 617 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 4: doing well here? 618 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 3: But you suddenly and I had some good events, got 619 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 3: Lynn Greer was my first year, and uh love Land 620 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 3: and had some good guys around. 621 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: Me searching what, uh was pal the big Who's where's 622 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 2: the big rival? 623 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? 624 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 3: Five? 625 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 4: Did I go to so so again? 626 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: And and this is hard for people to comprehend because 627 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 2: when you were at Stanford, that was one of the 628 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 2: iconic places to play, right you had the bouncy floor. Yeah, 629 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 2: and you know Tiger came to the games like it 630 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: was crazy. Now you look at Stanford, it's kind of sad. 631 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: It's like my old version don't draw really well. But uh, 632 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 2: Olympiacos versus Powell, what is that atmosphere? 633 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 3: Like it's unlike anything you will ever see in the US. 634 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I think imagine Cameron Indoor against U n 635 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 3: C on steroids and on HGH and everything else you 636 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 3: can imagine. 637 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 4: Did they have dude burning flares up in the. 638 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 3: My first game there you have the barriers behind the fence, 639 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 3: and the guys shot a flare through the barrier and 640 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 3: hit our towel bag.

And now as 771 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 2: an adult with kids, what's the what's the best? Like, 772 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 2: let's just take basketball. Now you have nil in college, 773 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 2: but also there's an il in high school. 774 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, dudes can go to overtime E league. They're expanding. 775 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 4: You got G league? Ignite. 776 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 2: If I put you in charge, I say, Josh, you've 777 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 2: lived it, what do you do? 778 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 3: How did can you? 779 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 2: Can you go stake my school the league, Silver's the 780 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 2: only one pushing that one. Do you do you go 781 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 2: back to the old college system? Can you transfer them 782 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 2: without penalty? 783 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 4: What do you do? 784 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I wouldn't allow players to come straight out 785 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 3: of high school to the league. I think there needs 786 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 3: to be a year stop gap somewhere just to get 787 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 3: a foundation how to be a pro college is that 788 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 3: for some people? G League, Knight, Overtime Elitue, the NBL, 789 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 3: which is a league I'm involved in, but there needs 790 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 3: to be a Scott I stop. Yeah. Secondly, I think 791 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 3: there needs to be more formation of education around finances 792 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 3: for these kids. Just one thing they're getting paid, they're 793 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 3: using their name in is like just to do that 794 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 3: as fair as fine, But you know, if you're putting 795 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 3: a hand you know two and are grand in the 796 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 3: hands of a seventeen year old, they're going to do 797 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 3: stupid stuff and there needs to be I think a 798 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 3: more a better and more intentional foundation around that help 799 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 3: them educate themselves and create you know, less just wild 800 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 3: wild West sort of strategy for a lot of these teams. 801 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 2: I think it's a great point. You mentioned you're involved 802 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 2: with the NBL. They have their program is starting to 803 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 2: get players from America. Yeah, what is unique about it 804 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 2: as opposed to the ignite, as opposed to overtime A leaders. 805 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 3: I say the NBL is probably one of the closest 806 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 3: in terms of just how the game translates from there 807 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 3: to the NBA that I've seen, and I've played there 808 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 3: for three years, I know it. And now we've had success. 809 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 3: We've had year over year we've had guys come over 810 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 3: either you know, just guys that were in the league 811 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 3: or LaMelo Balls and Argie Hampton's and you know the 812 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 3: kids that got drafted for the past couple of years 813 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 3: that have come in the league and had success, And 814 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 3: that's just a testament to the league. They've grown it 815 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 3: the right way. You know, you get a true season 816 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 3: of strength conditioning, and you know, Australians and sports science 817 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 3: is one of the top of the world, and the 818 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 3: coaching over there is great and there's a lot of 819 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 3: you know, connectivity to the to the NBA. So I 820 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 3: think that the NBL needs to have more players come over, 821 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 3: you know, because the league is fantastic and it is growing. 822 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 2: It really is okay, So for you you're here, you 823 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:43,959 Speaker 2: got your real estate stuff. 824 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 4: You're in town? What else are you doing in Vegas? 825 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 3: Come to watch some games? I want to hang out. 826 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 4: Who are you most excited to see? 827 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 3: I want to see more of Brandon Miller. I mean 828 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 3: everybody will to see who, but I think I'm intrigued 829 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 3: to see what. You know, what Jordan saw in him? 830 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 3: You know over Overscoo. 831 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 2: So it's a it's a really interesting question because Scoot. 832 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 2: I think Scoot's gonna be a real good year, you know, 833 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 2: I mean, guys, an unbelievable athlete. He can good bye 834 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 2: is it's hard to keep out of the lane, you know, 835 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 2: I don't know what what his shooting ends up looking like, 836 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 2: it'll be better than it is now. That's probably the 837 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 2: one limiting factor. And size and league's just get bigger 838 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 2: and bigger, and he's obviously built like a grown man. 839 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 2: But you know, sixty two and a half six three. 840 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 2: Who knows my thoughts on Brandon Miller? And I'd love 841 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 2: to hear it after you watch him, as I like 842 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 2: the idea, I think what Jordan saw as when he's 843 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 2: got Lamello ball and they're pot committed there right paying 844 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 2: him nearly a quarter billion dollars. You know if I committed, 845 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 2: So he'll be great because he's he was sixty percent 846 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 2: shooter on just catch and shooting at Alabama now college three, 847 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 2: but clearly has NBA ran yep, and has all of 848 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 2: the things that would be you check the box in 849 00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: terms of a modern day NBA defensive player, length, athleticism, intelligence, 850 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 2: has enough toughness, has some ship to him a little bit. 851 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 2: You know the question, can he be a star? Well 852 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 2: that's different now, right? Can you can he be a 853 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 2: three level scorer in the league? That that one I don't. 854 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 2: I don't know about. And it'll be interesting because he's 855 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 2: a guy who made a seismic jump in his draft 856 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 2: stock during his year at Alabama. 857 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,959 Speaker 4: But it's hard because you know, when you're. 858 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 2: Playing in college, you're not necessarily playing against pros, right rescue, 859 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 2: he's playing against pros, right So it's it's it's gonna 860 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 2: be an interesting yeah. 861 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 3: But I mean when the cream rids at the top 862 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 3: and you you know, see a kid like that, he 863 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 3: has all the physical gifts, seems like, you know, on 864 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 3: his game. So I haven't seen to play enough, but 865 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 3: I've seen enough to see he's got it. It's just 866 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 3: a matter of can he put it together and can 867 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 3: they put it right support system around him to maximize 868 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 3: his talent. LaMelo is great, and you gotta have some 869 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 3: bests in the locker room and kind of help guide 870 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 3: all those guys. 871 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 1: Uh. 872 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 3: You know, we've seen some issues in locker rooms here 873 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 3: recently because of that, So hopefully they do a good 874 00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 3: job and creating support around him. 875 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,280 Speaker 4: Uh. How much you like watching yokid you play? 876 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 3: I love it? I love it, I mean and tell 877 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 3: tale you know of playing in Europe, you have these 878 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 3: guys that super talented, probably on your team, have no 879 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 3: interesting coming to the NBA. Yeah, but just can hope 880 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 3: and I just he's that for me. 881 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they do the the awkward stretching stuff they do, 882 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 2: you know, and it looks funky. It's not what we're 883 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 2: used to, but it's really effective. 884 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 4: It was it was I thought that would that be 885 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 4: a guy that you love it you and. 886 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 3: You know as approach to the game, and I want 887 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,439 Speaker 3: a ton of the playoffs with him. Just the fact 888 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 3: that a guy at that statue can go into the 889 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 3: game first quarter not even a tempt to shot, you know, 890 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,320 Speaker 3: on purpose, just to make sure his teammates are getting involved. 891 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 3: And everybody's getting involved and then you know, last three quarters, 892 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 3: just turn it up. 893 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 4: I just attest him to his talent if you could. 894 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 2: And again, I mean there's probably a million things you 895 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 2: could say. 896 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 4: But say there's a high school. 897 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 2: Kid out there and he's fascinated with you, your path, 898 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 2: your success personally professionally, what would be the advice you get? 899 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 3: Reach out to me? How you know? Social media? Yeah, 900 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 3: social media easy. But I'll tell you the other thing 901 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 3: is educate yourself on the business of the league. I 902 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 3: think that that's super important. You know, these guys you 903 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 3: mentioned the mellow, these guys are going to be billionaires. 904 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,839 Speaker 3: And you get a couple of these guys that will 905 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 3: get two or three contracts over the next you know, 906 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 3: ten years. These are the game has changed a bit, 907 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 3: and so just being mindful of that. Educating yourself on 908 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 3: the finances and the business behind it is one of 909 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 3: the biggest pieces of advice. 910 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 4: What what what percentage? 911 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 2: Again, this is just your perspective of players value that 912 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 2: education piece. And I say it because I think we 913 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 2: do a terrible job in the media of expressing any 914 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 2: sort of interest in it. But it's like all the 915 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,439 Speaker 2: things you're saying are like, you should educate yourself, And 916 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 2: I agree we should have some pretty professional program college 917 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 2: basketball players on agents, taxes, investments, all this stuff that 918 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 2: we should teach as opposed to like do I really 919 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 2: need to go into you know, social sciences, and like 920 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 2: that's not going to help me. Now, high level math 921 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 2: is not going to help me. Tell me how I 922 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 2: can manage my money and manage my life. 923 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 4: But you know, you lived it. 924 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 2: What percentage of NBA players do you think value that 925 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 2: side of it, not just the business side of it, 926 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 2: but the understanding and educating themselves on everything going on. 927 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 3: I think years probably one to five, fifteen to twenty percent. 928 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 3: When you get you know, year seven to twelve, you know, 929 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 3: it probably takes up to sixty to seventy percent. So 930 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 3: just a matter of age. I mean, you come in 931 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 3: the league, you're invincible. You can do it wrong. All 932 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 3: your boys are around you. You know, it's a different 933 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 3: sort of mentality. 934 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 6: Do you miss the baby fro? I can grow it back, 935 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 6: I know, but you don't have you miss it? Too 936 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 6: much work, too much work, too much work. Hey Josh Man, 937 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 6: it's great catching up with you.
