<v Speaker 1>this episode of the broadcast. What's going on out there?

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Are seventy sixers pod people? How are you? Brian Selzer here?

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Thanking you as always for taking the time out of

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>your busy life schedule to listen to our podcast. A

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>reminder that to follow us or to subscribe to our

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>feed type in Sixers podcast network on Spotify, Apple Podcasts,

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Google podcast, Stitcher, tune in, SoundCloud, or anywhere else that

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you listen to your pods. This time of year, it

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>is typically quiet times around practice facilities throughout the NBA,

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>but this week it was great to see a familiar

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>face in James Ennis the third throughout the hallways of

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers training complex and as the Third was

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>acquired by the seventy Sixers at the trade deadline this

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>past winner from the Houston Rockets for a future second

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>round pick, and then a couple days into free agency,

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>he resigned with the seventy Sixers on a brand new deal.

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought he really made his presence felt down the

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>home stretch of last season. It seemed like whenever he

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>came in, he usually brought high energy on both ends

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>of the court, whether it was with his explosive dunks

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>at the rack, his defensive presence, some of the block

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>shots he ended up coming with, and he was a

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>really great citizen to have inside the seventy six ers

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.559
<v Speaker 1>locker room. The Ventura, California native has spent the bulk

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of his summer out in Southern at California, but he

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>was at the training complex this week and we had

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the chance to sit down and talk about, as I

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.639
<v Speaker 1>teas in the open, a whole host of topics. So

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>here's our conversation with James Ennis the Third. James, first

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of all, great to see around these parts, man, how

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>are you doing. Thanks nice, see you guys too. I'm

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>doing good. I'm doing good, so for me, you can

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>tell me how it is for you. When a season ends,

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I personally and I'm not nearly doing

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>anything close to a strenuous as you guys are out

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>there on the court. I feel like my mind needs

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 1>some time to decompress, unwind a little bit. But then

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>around this time, as we get to labor day, juice

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>start flowing again. That excitement's back. Tell me where you're at,

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>not even physically, but mentally. At this stage of the offseason,

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>we're training camps, kind of getting closer. I'm excited, you know,

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>like I said, summer flew by, you know, obviously working

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>so hard, you know, the time flies, and just like

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you said, um, it's around the corner and I can't wait.

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>You know. I think we're gonna do really good this year.

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>And we have a lot of talent on this team,

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>from the first player to the last player on the bench.

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 1>You know, everybody can contribute. So I'm excited to get

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>this going. After last season and especially the way it ended.

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Did you need to remove yourself from basketball for a

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>little bit, however long it was, or did it have

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the opposite effect? Did it fire you up right at

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>that moment and looking ahead to the next season. I

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>actually fired me up right away, so I really didn't

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>get no time off. I think I took on vacation

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>this summer probably for like five days, and all I've

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>been doing is is working, working, working, working until I

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>get better, you know, and try to be the best

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>player I can be. I'm going to ask you about

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the work, but I also know where'd you go? I

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>went to the Bahamas? Nice. Yeah, so I went out there,

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>swim with the sharks, did that, feed the pigs, did that,

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, for the first time. So it was a cool,

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>good experience. It's funny, like I would almost think that

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>if you do something as much as you guys, as

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>professional basketball players do it, it would probably have to

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>feel funny after a few days. If you're not on

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a basketball court right or you're not working on your body,

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't have a basketball on your head exactly, Like, man,

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>what am I doing? I'm being lazy, But obviously you

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>need some time sometimes get your mind right. Take me

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>inside some of the workouts that you've been involved with.

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.719
<v Speaker 1>What are some of the things that you've focused on

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 1>focused on a lot of just the ball in my hands,

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>pick and roll, just shooting off the dribble, stuff like that,

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>coming off screen shooting. I know because I know we

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>lost JJ his shooting, so I know I have to

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>increase my percentage. So I put a lot of a

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 1>lot of hours in from my shot to you know,

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>be more consistent. As it always it's been like that

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>for you, that you tailor your off season program to

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the needs of the team that you're gonna be on.

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>How do you strike the balance between working on skills

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that obviously would need to fit the seventy six or

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>system and then just general things that you want to

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>see evolved and developing your own game. Yeah, um, I

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>have you know, I just want to be the best

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>player I can be, so definitely, um, whatever's missing, you

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>want to you know, help fill that spot in and

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>also you want to just, um, be as best as

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I can be at the things I'm good at. So

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what I would really focus on. I don't really

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>try to do things I don't do in the NBA.

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I just I focus on the things that I'm gonna

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>do on this team and what my role is and

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>what would you know, what I can do? Where do

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 1>you think your game is at right now. You're a

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>veteran player, You've had so many different types of experiences

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>in the sport. Where do you see your game at

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>right now, at this stage of your career heading into

0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen twenty. I think I'm in my time right now.

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel really good. Um. I feel like this is

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:09.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a good year for me. Um. Yeah, my

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.359
<v Speaker 1>body feels great. Minds, my mind's good. And that's a

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>big key. You know, it's just your mind being free

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just focus on that one thing. Any

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>free agent has options. Why did you think that you,

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>at this juncture of your career right now made the

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>most sense to return and come back here? Um? I

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>love Philly, you know, I love I love the coaching staff,

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I love just just the whole team. Do you guys

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>know about Philadelphia before? Like, let's say you're on another team, Like, well,

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>what is the reputation of Philadelphia from an outsider to you?

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Because it's interesting. I mean you said that you really

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>like it here and I think Mike Scott talked about

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>this as well. Just even in a very short period

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 1>of time, there's a connection that's created. Is it something

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>that you don't really know about the city until you're

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>here and you play here. It's like a hard no city.

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, everybody's tough here. Um Like, like you said,

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Charles Barkley, tough iris and tough. So players who came

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>to Philly, you know, they're really tough players and they

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>put their body on the line and that's and that's

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>what I love about it. You, like many players in

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the NBA, you've spent a good chunk of your time

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>during the off season out in southern California, in and

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>around Los Angeles. What's the scene like out there and

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>how valuable is it to be within that environment as

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you work on your game in the off season. Well,

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>it's nice, you know, good weather, um, you know, got

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>the beaches stuff like that, and um, just it's good.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot of family over there, and just

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 1>being around my family and seeing them every day and

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>just handing my business you know, on the court. You know,

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what it's about. You got to see a couple

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>of teammates out there out there, Yeah, I'll see. I

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>worked out with Mike Mike Scott a little bit, and

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually spend time with Ben you know, you know,

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>because Ben's one of my closest friends on this team,

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>so we kept that connection one season was over. How

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>did that connection begin? Where did it start from? Do

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you think for you guys, Um, probably because he's from

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>He's from Australia, you know, you know I lived in Australia,

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>so it was a little connection right there. That's how

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>how it all began. Just so the Australian connection. Were

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you guys talking about familiar places, restaurants, things in and

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>around the country or you know you did that happens

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>different things like and just different things that they do

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in Australia, like the different types of food. Just a

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>little little questions like that. You know, you're a guy

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>who's been around the league, You've played with some of

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the top players in the game. From a veteran's perspective,

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>what stood out about Ben to you when you got

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to know him more last year as a teammate? Ben

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Ben's U. Ben's a really good teammate. You know, he

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>obviously he's a he's a point guard. He you know,

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.599
<v Speaker 1>he's a general, you know, head of the head of

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the snake. Um. He's a very good, really good teammate. Um.

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, plays hard every time. He stops on the floor. Um,

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>he's not selfish, you know, put guys before him, you know,

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>just being on the side of him, you know, I

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>know we have a good chance. He talked about his

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>leadership growth at the end of last season. I think

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>it might have been the day after the Game seven loss.

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>There's probably so much stuff that that outsiders, whether you're

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>a fan or remember the media, even in the media,

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>like how close we are that we don't see? What

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>are what are some of the things that Ben does

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that makes him an effective head of the snake. As

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you just said, it passes you know, just him being

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>six six nine, six ten handing the ball like that,

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of reminds you of magic a little bit.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Of course, I have to ask you about a comment

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that you made at your end of season press conference

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>about you and Ben and the dogs. Tell me about that.

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Ben has more dogs than me, but just

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>bought another dog. I think he has like five dogs. Now.

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to get my second King Corso. So he

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 1>talked me into getting my first kne Corso because he

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.839
<v Speaker 1>had one. I was like, He's like, yeah, I get

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the dog gets really big. You know, it's a really protective,

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh yeah, since I'm a big person,

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I was to get a big dog that, you know,

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>could protect the home. So fell in love with a dog.

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I love him. His name's Hustle. I'm about to get

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>him a girlfriend soon, so see how that goes. Nice

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>good for Hustle. Have you have you had dogs throughout

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 1>your life? Have you always been a pet guy? Not

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 1>really had I had a dog when I was in

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>college and I had my daughter had a Yorkie, so

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the Yorkie always been around. So now I am now

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm a pet person. So for someone like myself who

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>really does not know anything about dogs outside the type

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.679
<v Speaker 1>of dogs that my parents had when I was growing up,

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 1>what type of dog is a King Corso dog? It's

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 1>a big, massive dog, really laid back, you know, really

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>use it for hunting back then. I feel like I

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 1>can envision now this this movement on sixers Twitter or

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>sixers social media where people may start scouting out dog

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>parks in and around town of being like, what am

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I gonna see James and a Third and Ben Simmons

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>walking their dogs like the dog run down by the

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Schookole River Park or something like that. I kind of

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:27.439
<v Speaker 1>feel like that you never know what the fans will do. Facts.

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>One really awesome thing, James that you did this summer

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 1>was you put on a camp free of charge for participants.

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>What was the inspiration and motivation behind doing that? What

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>gave you that idea? Actually, my father had game an idea.

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Um My dad told me I wanted to do a

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.439
<v Speaker 1>free camp where I grew up playing at and UM

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>West Park was one of the gyms I grew up,

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, playing at UM every day after school. That's

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>where I went with my friends and stuff like that.

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 1>But the biggest thing, you know, just giving back to

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the youth, you know, because I didn't have that when

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I was young around that area. So just I feel

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>like just me by going there, you know, inspires other

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 1>other kids and stuff like that and give hope to

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>people around there. This isn't to imply that others who

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>play basketball professionally your peers don't work hard for it.

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>But I remember reading the piece that Lauren Rosen, who

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 1>works for US did on you earlier in the season,

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 1>like you really had to work to get there. Your

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>path was in no way linear to where you were

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to where you are now. I mean I gotta think

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be such a cool feeling, especially not only

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.559
<v Speaker 1>to give back, but to do it in a place

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that has meaning insignificance to what your journey has been

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>exactly because once I went in a gym, I was like, man,

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>it brought back so many memories and a lot of

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>sweat tears in there. Wanted to give up quite a

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 1>bit because the path I took, but you know, I

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.959
<v Speaker 1>just stay stayed with it for my family and just

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of my family members came to support me

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and put a big smile on my dad's face, and

0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's what it's about. They're just seeing them happy.

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's been through so much and just for

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.680
<v Speaker 1>me to do that, you know, just you know, pat

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>on my back this team right now. I mean, obviously

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>people have talked a lot about your comments, your confidence

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 1>in this group, but I gotta think that your comments

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>about the whole Eastern Conference coming out of the East thing,

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't have made those comments if you didn't truly

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 1>believe that this team had a chance to do that.

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're not that type of guy who just

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>throws words out there to do that. I mean, it

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 1>seems like you've got to have a pretty good sense

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>of confidence about this team. I definitely do a lot

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>of confident about this team, Like you know, just that

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>last game, Game seven, you know, lucky bounce, we go home,

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 1>go over time, we win, then play Milwaukee, we win,

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>We win the championship because I believe we're better than

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee last year, and just you know, things happen. You know,

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>we have another We have a good team this year.

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 1>We lost Jimmy and we lost jj you know, really

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>good players, good teammates, and brought in Josh, got in

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Zaire getting better, Benjo, well you know about brought in

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>al Tobias getting better. Everybody working hard. So I believe

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.599
<v Speaker 1>the roster experience turnover. But it's funny because the expectations

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I initially want to say have remained the same, but

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 1>it's almost like they're going up, even in other level

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>surrounding this team. How do you think this group is

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be different from last year in terms of

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>style of play? Given some of the personnel you added,

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the guys that you just rattled off the top of

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the head, I feel like our offense would be a

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>lot different just because we don't have that JJ Reddick,

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>run off screens type player. But I feel like we're

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>still gonna, you know, put up high numbers. So we

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of people who can shoot the ball.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And you know, Josh is a really good shooting um.

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I played with him when he was a rookie in Miami.

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I know he didn't had he had a big upside

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm looking forward to see what he what he

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>brings to this table. And from where I sit thinking

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>about it, You're back, Mike Scott's back. You add more

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>seasoned veterans like Kyle O'Quinn, Howell, Nato, Trey Burke. I mean,

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>there's some real depth to this team. Not to say

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>that the last year's group didn't have it, but there's

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>some guys who have really been around the league for

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a while. Jonah with another year under his belt. I mean,

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the depth of this team could be

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>something that you guys have to work with as well.

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, everybody, everybody's excited. Every's ready to go. Talking

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to a few players, everybody can't wait to you know,

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>start training camp and get this train going. It's gonna

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>be a fun year. What happens between now and the

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>time that you guys get on the court for training

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 1>camp at the beginning of October. For you. For me, Um,

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>go back to Kelly. Continue to work on our game.

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Continue to getting the best shape possible before training camp,

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>because I don't like getting this shape during training campballock

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to being fit when training camp starts. That's how I

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>am love it. I'm gonna ask you one more thing.

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Do we call this a fanny pack the carrying bag?

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Because I feel like it's no, it's a mers Let

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 1>me tell you, I think the Merse could have far

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>more utility than a fanny pack. Like the fanny packets.

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>It's an interesting thing, you know, but the Merse, I

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like these days, if you have a bigger phone

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 1>or you're carrying around like an iPad or whatever, it

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>is like you need more space than just what your

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>pockets can provide. I agree. Everye has their own taste,

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know what they like the style I like

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to wear. Um. For me, I like the Merse. I

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>have a like two fanny packs, but obviously use this

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 1>my mirth more than a fanny pack. Can you take

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>us inside? Like, what are the go to items that

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you might or even would want to be willing to

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>share about what goes in the James and it's the

0:16:54.040 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>third mrse cologne. You put a brush, charger, wallet, money

0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of things in your Bible and you

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have to strain your back, not at all. You

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>know why why bob yourself down to the backpack? You

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.680
<v Speaker 1>just sling it over your shoulder. All right? I suppose

0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.919
<v Speaker 1>well ended on that, James. Great seenior, Matt and I've
