21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,120

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,640

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 5: much you know upside to look forward to. But then

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 5: at the trade deadline, made some you know, moves and

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 5: you know, really just become a team. And that was

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: really the main thing. Is we got closer on and

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 5: off the court, and it really just carried over to

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 5: the court. Everybody really just wanted to win, and that

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 5: was it.

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: How did that chemistry because he and I were joined

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: in two thousand and seven when we made a mid

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: season trade, we made a you know, a crazy run,

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: made NBA history, But we were literally on and off

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: the court, smoking, watching film, kicking it.

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: Now, you don't have to tell us what you were

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: doing that.

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: How How was it tough to get kind of that

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: chemistry with you got four new guys that like were

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: in rotation. How did that chemistry developing and and how

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: did it help?

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Along the way?

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 4: There was a lot of bouret played.

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 5: I'm sure you'll know about that, but now it was

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 5: playing rides on the way home, was you know, more active.

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 5: Really just getting to know one another, being able to

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: trust one another was really the main thing, and it just,

47
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 5: like I said, carried over to the court.

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: Avid Golfer, you're as soon as you leave here, you're

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: back home for a golf event. When did golf come

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: into your life?

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: I played in high school really just to get out

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: of school.

53
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: I hated school, but I started taking a serious probably

54
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 5: my freshman or sophomore year at college. I really just

55
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 5: fell in love with it. It was away for me

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 5: to get away from basketball.

57
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: With your handicap, I'm scratch. Oh, that means he's good.

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: That means he's right there, handicap. You know what I'm saying.

59
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 4: As much as I play, I should be pretty Yeah.

60
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: I mean that means that means he's even so. And

61
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: you the lower the minus is better if you have

62
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: the plus, you don't want the plus. This is the

63
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: one sport you don't want pluses in sure the contract

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: obviously first and foremost. Congratulations Jack will touch on kind

65
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: of your journey to get here, but you know you,

66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: you started turning a lot of heads during the season.

67
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: Ended up resigning with the Lakers, which I thought was

68
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: a great move. Where there other offers that were intriguing

69
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: close more or were you was your mindset the Lakers

70
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: the whole time.

71
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: I really wanted to be in La the whole time.

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 5: There was a couple uh situations that were close, but

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 5: like I said, I really wanted to be in La.

74
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: La feels like home to me, So that's really where

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 5: I wanted to be.

76
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: Well, give us maybe two teams. You possibly thought about.

77
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: UH Houston before the thread and then San Antonio.

78
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I forgot what I was gonna ask. I tell

79
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: people all the time, you know, I was fortunate enough

80
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: to play for the Lakers, Clippers, u c l A

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: winning championship with the Golden State Wars. But I tell people,

82
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: there's nothing like being a Laker. You haven't necessarily experienced

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: the other side because you've only been with the Lakers.

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: But what has it been like?

85
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: And we laugh and joke.

86
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: I mean, because the Lakers don't even get too many

87
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: white guys that can come through and who you know

88
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: what I mean?

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: So like you're a savior, Like they love you NBA,

90
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But they love you out there.

91
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: And to be a Laker with that Laker on your chest,

92
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a worldwide brand.

93
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: What is that? What has that been like for you?

94
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: Obviously you've been able to exceed, you know, excel on

95
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: the court, So what has life off the court been

96
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: like for you?

97
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 4: I mean, it's been a lot of fun.

98
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 5: Like you said, uh, Lakers are arguably the best organization

99
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 5: in all the sports and I was a huge Kobe

100
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 5: fan growing up, so I watched y'all play, you know,

101
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 5: and not really always wanted to, you know, be a

102
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: part of that. And for that to just come, you know,

103
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 5: full circle and be there, I mean, it just means

104
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 5: a lot and off the court, you know, Like I said,

105
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 5: I play a lot of golf, so it's good golf weather.

106
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, real quick, quick story before you get to your shit, jack.

107
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: So I hit Austin. Man, it was about three months ago.

108
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: I even think it was during the playoffs, and Shae Obriant,

109
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: who's Kobe's sister, hit me up and said that her

110
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: son is Austin is their favorite player.

111
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: And Shane was like, you know, Austin was like, nah,

112
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: I don't know him. Please, it's you know, it's my

113
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: son's birthday. I'm like shit.

114
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: I was like, my bad, bro, it's the playoffs. I

115
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: know you're focused, but Kobe's nephew loves you, and I

116
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: was all cool. Austin sent h my birthday message and

117
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: I sent it to the Shae and her son broke

118
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: down in tears, and I sent it back to him

119
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: to him, like, bro, that sit meant a lot. So

120
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: Shane wanted me to personally thank you for sure that

121
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: birthday message.

122
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: For sure, dope. I was drafted second to the last pick.

123
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: What pick you win, Matt? I was forty three. Yeah,

124
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: I was second to the last pick in the draft.

125
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: You two years ago, you was the same in the

126
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: same city, undrafted, trying to get a job.

127
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: Now you're sitting here with a bag. How you feel

128
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: feels great?

129
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: H Like I said, everything comes full circle and all

130
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 5: I needed was opportunity and I knew that. I knew

131
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 5: what I was capable of doing, you know, the skill set,

132
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: IQ and stuff like that. So it was just about,

133
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 5: you know, my agency put me in a good position

134
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 5: to you know, have all of that. We could have

135
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 5: got drafted forty second to Detroit, but kind of declined

136
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 5: that to kind of put me in LA for a

137
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 5: better spot.

138
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: So I heard about that, but break that down. Because

139
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: I heard about that, I didn't know if that was real.

140
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: So I heard there were teams that wanted to draft you,

141
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: and you kind of told them, respectfully, we kind of

142
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 3: have a plan. So tell us about that plan of

143
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: betting on yourself and also your agency here. So if

144
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: you want to shout them out, feel free to do that.

145
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: My dogs AMR agency for me, the best there is.

146
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, talk to us about that game plan because

147
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: I read that, I didn't know if that was a

148
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: true story. So you you know, you kind of respectfully

149
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: passed on a few teams because you guys had a

150
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: game plan. Explain what that game plan was.

151
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, So basically we tiered teams, you know, best fit

152
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 5: for me, and LA was I think two on the

153
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 5: list at the time. Milwaukee might have been one, but

154
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 5: they were tier one, and I think Detroit called.

155
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: That should be on nobody's tier.

156
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, if we're being honest, he said, no, No, maybe

157
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: not being honest here, but that's always the show.

158
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it was. It was, like I said, really.

159
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: Trying to put me in a position to you know,

160
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 5: be able to get a Roger spot. We knew that

161
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: there was a high interest for a two ways, so

162
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: we didn't really have to press. And that's what everything

163
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: in the draft would have been from forty two and

164
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: on would have been basically a two way agreement. So

165
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 5: we didn't have to press and I didn't really have

166
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 5: to hear my name called either. I mean, obviously I

167
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 5: wanted to, but it was all about you know, playing

168
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 5: the long game.

169
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: I had my name called in my garage at the crib,

170
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: I was at the TV in the garage, everybody was

171
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: just standing behind. I knew I was getting picked already

172
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: because they only had one They had one pick in

173
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: the draft and they told me they was gonna draft me.

174
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: But just that feeling what experienced that for sure? We

175
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: all use different things from motivation, right, we all whe

176
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: we come from. You know, me and matt I upbringing.

177
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: I know his upbringing just as well as mine. Different

178
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: challenges and want to see better things. You know, and

179
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: people count you out will motivate you to push yourself

180
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,559
Speaker 1: to be great. You said that you're always too skinny,

181
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm never fast enough. It's going to always be something

182
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: about my game that people like. That's that's that's what

183
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: you put as your batter in your back to keep

184
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: going and showing to prove people wrong.

185
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think I told Reggie.

186
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 5: The first day I went for pre draft, he was like,

187
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 5: why you want to make it like and obviously I

188
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 5: love basketball, but you know I wanted to tell everybody

189
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 5: fuck off.

190
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 4: God damn right that you know I could do it,

191
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 4: and that was really it.

192
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 5: I mean, I love basketball I love you know, the

193
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 5: skill of the game, the you know, you never can

194
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 5: perfect it. Uh so you always find something to get

195
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 5: better at. But at the end of the day, I

196
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: wanted to look back and really just you know, tell

197
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 5: everybody fuck off.

198
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: I love it.

199
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: I got my championship, I got my championship ring fitted

200
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: to my middle finger.

201
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 4: Just for that's tough. I can hopefully I get there.

202
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 2: I could dig it.

203
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: It can get a lot of outside noise can get

204
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: to you at times though. You know, I've been suspended

205
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: thirty games. I've been a lot of incidents where it

206
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: wasn't really me, you know, it was me coming to

207
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: the aid of my teammates and I had to deal

208
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: with the flag.

209
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes the noise can't get to you because you are human.

210
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: You know, if anybody in the NBA say the noise

211
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: never got to them, they line, I don't care who

212
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: you are, because we listen and we want people to

213
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: like because we want our fans to support us.

214
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 2: How you dealing with that?

215
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I mean, like you said, you you hear everything.

216
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a it's a world of social media

217
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 5: now and everybody's.

218
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: On it, everybody opinion.

219
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 4: I only have Instagram. I don't have Twitter, so I

220
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 4: don't be scrolling on Twitter.

221
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 5: But it's really you know, if I can go, if

222
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 5: I can look back and be like I did what

223
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 5: I was supposed to do, good or bad. You know,

224
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 5: I can suck up many times and it really don't matter.

225
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 5: But if I put in the work and play the

226
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 5: right way, I can live with that.

227
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: Thanks anybody you mud of your game after growing up.

228
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: Uh, Like I said, I was a huge Kobe fan,

229
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 4: but of course I wasn't trying to be Kobe.

230
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

231
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 5: But you know, I named like, you know, Joe Ingles,

232
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: like someone that can do a little bit of everything, uh, unselfish,

233
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 5: wants to win, super competitor. So that's the one that

234
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 5: I kind of just throw out there because everybody names

235
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 5: you know, high high level guys, right.

236
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: I like Joe Joe.

237
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: Joe came to us his rookie year, but I think

238
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: he's rookie with the Clippers. He was like twenty six,

239
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: twenty seven. I literally just saw him.

240
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: The other day.

241
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: But great dude, right career late at his own pace,

242
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: because shoot that bitch. So obviously we touched on the

243
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 3: roller coaster of a season last year was but I

244
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: want to walk you through a few different areas and

245
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: you break it down for us, the moment leading up

246
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: to Lebron breaking the scoring record and him actually doing it,

247
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: what was that like around the team locker room, him

248
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: that whole energy.

249
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 5: Like, oh, it was special to be a part of.

250
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 5: I mean for obvious reasons. You know, you're playing with

251
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 5: the guy that you know has the most points ever

252
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 5: and you know people argue to him that he's not

253
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 5: a good score so for him to uh do that,

254
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 5: and then for me to just be in the building.

255
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 5: I was coming back from injury, so I wasn't I

256
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 5: didn't play much that game, but just to experience that

257
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: and his mood every day was you know, he was

258
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: gonna go get it. I think everybody's seen the video

259
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 5: of him talking to us to sons and he was like,

260
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get it, and we all knew he was

261
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 5: going for it, and you know, there wasn't nothing anybody

262
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 5: was going to say or do to get in front

263
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 5: of that.

264
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: Straight up Russell Westbrook someone who kind of gets a

265
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: bad rep from the outside, but I always hear the

266
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: teammates really appreciate and respect what he's got going on.

267
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: What was it like playing with Russ before he got moved.

268
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's one of the best teammates I've ever had.

269
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: As a person, you know, you can't get much better.

270
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 5: I got COVID. Uh, like December of my rookie year

271
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 5: in Minnesota. I was stuck in Minnesota for like seven days,

272
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 5: so it's rough. But uh, you know he reached out

273
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 5: like three or four times, asked him I need anything,

274
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 5: offered to send me stuff, whatever I needed. So as

275
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 5: a person, you know, you couldn't get better. And same

276
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 5: as a teammate, like he was always you know, empowering

277
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 5: everybody to really, you know, be better and do better

278
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: and one one more. And like you said, he gets

279
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 5: a bad rap and I don't really understand why.

280
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Anthony Davis ugly one of the most talented

281
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: players this game has ever seen. Worst boxes you've ever seen.

282
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: He had been long downs him on from Street Fighter. Yeah, fella, Uh,

283
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: what's it like playing with him?

284
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: I mean some guy, I mean when he wants can

285
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 3: be the best player in the world. Do you extremely

286
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: talented talk to us about Anthony Davis?

287
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: Uh?

288
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 5: You know, he's obviously a good person to have on

289
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 5: your team, especially defensively, I don't think he gets enough

290
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 5: credit for you know, what he does for us as guards.

291
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 5: Like knowing you know you have him as a rent protector,

292
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 5: you can be you know, more physical, like more aggressive.

293
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: You can kind of shoot pass and get the lanes

294
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: and know if they get in the paint then it's

295
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: gonna be tough to you know, get to anyway. So

296
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: like you said, he's you know, arguably, you know, right

297
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 5: behind Browns, you know, the most skilled player I've ever

298
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 5: you know, seen just his height, the way he moves,

299
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 5: he can handle the ball, he can shoot it.

300
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: There's really nothing he can't do.

301
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: Just imagine somebody I feel in San Antonio when I

302
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: had yeah that's nice.

303
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: As you should I have prime Dwight Howard and yeah, incredible,

304
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: But the dog I like what you touched, I don't.

305
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 3: I don't think he gets enough credit on the defensive

306
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: end either because he's someone out on the canrim protect.

307
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: But he can switch out and maintain a guard. I

308
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: mean he did in the playoffs with stats.

309
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: I mean, to stay in front of Steph ONNGR fuck

310
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: old Steph is is not easy and for him to

311
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: get lost in a move and still recover and either

312
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: change a shot or block a shot. At his size,

313
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: uh is absolutely incredible, so happy that he kind of

314
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: found his rhythm and looking forward to what next season

315
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: gives him. Obviously, season didn't end. I would say personally

316
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: say that you guys had a good season considering where

317
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: you came from. The goal is always to win a

318
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: champions especially when you play with bron and a D.

319
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: What was that Western Conference Finals? Like, you know, if

320
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: you have to lose, you lost to the team the

321
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: best team in the league. But what was that Western

322
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: Conference Finals like for you guys?

323
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it obviously suck.

324
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean if you look back, we really

325
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 5: had an opportunity to win every game. Game one was

326
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 5: you know, up in the air because they was up

327
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 5: like twenty and we you know, we made a run

328
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 5: with like five minutes left and actually had an opportunity.

329
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: But you know, two, three, and four were very winnable,

330
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 5: and you know, one thing goes, you know, your way

331
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 5: here and there. You know, we could you know, be celebrating,

332
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 5: but that's not how it goes. When they got two,

333
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 5: you got two guys like go Kitchen Murray and everybody

334
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: else was making shots. I mean, they was basically unguardable.

335
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: I felt like we executed our game plan, you know,

336
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: almost as good as we could, but it didn't work.

337
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: We have the biggest Laker fan back here in the corner.

338
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: I made sure I watched every He came to my

339
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: house every single game, so I could see him cry laugh.

340
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: He was telling me what he was gonna do with

341
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: your whole roster during the season. After the season, but uh,

342
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: it was fun.

343
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna struggle this year. I don't even catch I mean,

344
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: because they lost a whole bunch of key players. Oh,

345
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Jeff Green, all the guys they used Brown, It lost

346
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: all those key guys.

347
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: That's when they got a couple of good ones though

348
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: they picked up. You got a team.

349
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: When you got a chemistry like that, you just keep

350
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: that ship together and try it again. If it don't

351
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: work two times in a row, then you break it up.

352
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: They didn't have the money to give some of them.

353
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: They should have.

354
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Figured that ship out, because it's gonna be another ninety

355
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: year until they win it.

356
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: No, I think they're gonna be they got I forgot it,

357
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: forgot remember, yeah, you did say it.

358
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it to you. Uh, going ahead to

359
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: have with Steph.

360
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: What was that like, it's it's honestly hell.

361
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: Still, I'm not gonna lie to you.

362
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 4: I mean the way he moves without the ball is

363
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 4: the worst part.

364
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, but just the way he moves without the ball,

365
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 5: the way I mean, it's honestly their system too, it

366
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 5: fits him to perfection. Uh, you know, you can't, you

367
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 5: literally can't ever relax. And I remember Game one and

368
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 5: two chasing him play around and I couldn't make a shot.

369
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 4: Everybody's looking at me like why I can make a shot.

370
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, he got no legs.

371
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 5: But yeah, no, his uh, you know, his approach to

372
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 5: the game too, is as special. Just the way that he,

373
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: you know, sees the game and the way he goes

374
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 5: about the game. It was a lot of fun to

375
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 5: play them. Obviously happy we won, Yeah, but nah, he's

376
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 5: it's hell to guard him next season.

377
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: First and foremost, shut out Rob Polinka, and he did

378
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 3: a great job of just attacking free agency. He went

379
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: out and signed the three main guys he wanted to

380
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 3: re sign, which was you, uh, d Lo and Hachimura,

381
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: and then went out and got quality pieces, gave Vincent

382
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 3: uh to name a few guys, Uh, excited obviously about

383
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: this upcoming season and what you guys have been able

384
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 3: to put together in this offseason.

385
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure, Like you said, bring back basically our

386
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 5: whole core. And I went to the Western Conference finals

387
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: and like you said, you know, plug guys in around that.

388
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 5: Uh like like game that you know, just went to

389
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 5: the finals, you know, super competitor. But like you said,

390
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 5: I think we we got better and at the same

391
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 5: time kept what we had that was working. So I'm

392
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 5: super happy to you know, get back to work and

393
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 5: really have a full you know off season preseason to

394
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 5: you know, really get some you know, actual fluidity because

395
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 5: I know, I mean you'all probably know is once after

396
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 5: the trade deadline, you play with guys that you played

397
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 5: for you kind of freestyle and we uh, I mean

398
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 5: we were skilled enough last year to do that. But

399
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 5: if you could mix that with him with some you

400
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 5: know fluidity with your offense, defense, uh, it could get scary.

401
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: Oh, y'all just get in the training camp together. Yeah

402
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: for sure.

403
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a lot of good pieces, a lot

404
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: of teams in the off season. Get together at some

405
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 3: point early midsummer. Have you guys talked about getting together

406
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 3: before preseason starts yet.

407
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: Uh.

408
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: I mean Brian usually does his mini camp I think

409
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 5: the weekend before uh training camp starts.

410
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: So we've done that the last two years.

411
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 5: I haven't heard anything about it yet, but we hadn't

412
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 5: hear my rookie year and then San Diego my second year.

413
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: Talk to us just about him, not the player, the person.

414
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 4: He acts like a damn kid. He acts like he's

415
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 4: like eighteen.

416
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

417
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 5: You know, I never really see him in a bad mood,

418
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 5: always joking, laughing, Uh, you know, having a good time.

419
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 5: And for someone that you know, you put on a

420
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 5: pedestal because he's done what he's done for him to

421
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 5: just be so personable, right, you could talk to him

422
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 5: about anything.

423
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: You can have good.

424
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 5: Conversations with him. You could joke around, like I said,

425
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 5: you know, it's like I said, his best. The best

426
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 5: thing about him is he comes to work every day happy.

427
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: Who's the most saltiest gambler on the team?

428
00:19:52,840 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 3: Me, you were pitching pennies before money? Yeah, you could

429
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 3: ask him a little bit. Now, get y'all can take

430
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 3: that twenty thousand.

431
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 2: Fuck that.

432
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 4: That game is dangerous.

433
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

434
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: A big part of your offseason this year is FEBA.

435
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: Congratulations on making that roster. I got a chance to

436

438
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,360

458
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: can't say that they have.

459
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, their national team. Big changes in the rules this year.

Speaker 2: every player. Yeah, I played. It's five hundred grand just

468
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:59,679

474
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna get this season determined, being able

475
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: to come to Vegas for the champions I think they're

476
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:34,960

477
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: Games, come on a lot.

478
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 3: But a lot of people said that about the playing,

479
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: and I love the play. Even bron said he didn't

480
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: like to play in a couple of years ago, and

481
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: the play and saved his ass this year.

482
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: So I like the playing.

483
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 3: I'm eager to see now this turns out to more

484
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: changes that I liked flopping. The flopping Now you get

485
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: assessed it's not a it's not a real t, but

486
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: like a fake tea. I guess it doesn't count towards

487
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 3: your foul. You just get free throw into the ball

488
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: back and then challenge because you know how fucking bad

489
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: these rests are. So if you get your first challenge, right,

490
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: you get your second challenge. So those are a couple

491
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: things that they do in the mix.

492
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: I mean finally would yeah, yeah, it's official now. It

493
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,440

494
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: Bro.

Speaker 3: me tell you you have to know how to move

498
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 3: you Someone in Jack I think touched on it. Just

499
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: your your roller coaster, your journey, and speak to those

500
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: younger players out there or even guys, your aides. That

501
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: just about believing in yourself and betting on yourself and

502
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: and and continuing to hone your craft and and and

503
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 3: blocking everything out.

504
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: Yeah I mean for me, uh no, most of it

505
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 4: was mental for me.

506
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 5: Uh just be able to know the game at a

507
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: high level, because I think if you you know the

508
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 5: game at a high level. There's always a place for you.

509
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 5: You can play kind of anywhere, and then also just

510
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 5: stay in the gym. There's a lot of distractions, as

511
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 5: everybody knows, but you know you can you can get

512
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 5: away from those for what ten years?

513
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 4: You know, I think, what's the what's the average three years?

514
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 5: Okay, So yeah, anyways, if you have a great career

515
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 5: and have ten years and you just get away from

516
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 5: all that, you got a lot of time, after a

517
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 5: lot of money to you know, do whatever you want

518
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 5: after that. So it's really about just locking in for

519
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 5: you know, kind of this short period of time, because

520
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 5: you know, I hear all the time that it goes fast,

521
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 5: and you know, even though last year felt like forever, right,

522
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: you know, I'm going into my third year and it

523
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 5: feels like just the other day. We're sitting there on

524
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 5: draft night wondering, you know, what was next.

525
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 3: You spoke to it earlier being a Kobe guy, and

526
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 3: it even poked some fun meme whise back of Lebron

527
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: back in the day, because you are a Kobe guy.

528
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: Favorite Kobe memory.

529
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: For me it was probably his last game. I remember

530
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 4: I was watching it in my brother's room.

531
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 5: Actually he was off of college and it was, you know,

532
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 5: for two hours behind in Arkansas, so it was probably

533
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 5: like eleven thirty Towards the end of the game, I'm

534
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 5: up screaming, jumping like I'm lit, and my mom opens.

535
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 4: The door and she's like, is everything okay. I was like,

536
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: get the hell out of here, like, go go back

537
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 4: to bed, like this is real, this is real. But yeah,

538
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 4: like you said, the meme that I posted of Kobe

539
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: about Brian.

540
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, like you know what about that?

541
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: Nah?

542
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 4: I called him when I first seen it. We were

543
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 4: in New Orleans and it was right after the game.

544
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 5: I don't think he or I played, and I got

545
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 5: on my phone after the game after coaches on talking

546
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 5: was the first thing I seen.

547
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: I was like, fuck.

548
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, Bron was over there

549
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 4: at this locker. I was like, Brian, come here, man,

550
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: he comes over. I was like, look, I was a

551
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 4: Kobe fan. I was shipping on your twenty twelve dis

552
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: claim on you real quick, but this is this, you've

553
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: seen this and he was like nah, he just started laughing.

554
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: So so he ain't like that. Like I have him

555
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: third on my list and people just make it seem

556
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 2: like I hate him. I mean, you know what I'm saying.

557
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: But when I when we played in the Big Three game,

558
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: I slid way across the court going football. Brun got

559
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: up and ran all the way across. He wasn't even

560
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: playing to help me up off the floor. So he

561
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: don't think, he don't think like he see through all

562
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: that ship, you know what I'm saying. So I guarantee

563
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,479
Speaker 1: you any people have saw it, he know you as

564
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: a person, he wouldn't have took it the wrong.

565
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

566
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 4: But I just wanted to be the first. You said

567
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 4: you got him in three? Who I've got MJ one,

568
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 4: Kobe two.

569
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: Ye.

570
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 3: The significance of being the starting two guard for the Lakers,

571
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 3: does that ever cross your mind? Obviously being a huge

572
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 3: fan of Koping what he was able to do for

573
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 3: this franchise.

574
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I tried not to think about it.

575
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 5: Uh. But at the same time, like I've said, like

576
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 5: I mean, being in La is you know, like it's

577
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 5: it's different. The fans are different, and they you know,

578
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 5: they're expected to win every year regardless of what the

579
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 5: roster looks like. They want to win a championship. So

580
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 5: you know, it means a lot to me. And I

581
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 5: take it serious to you know, go out every night

582
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 5: and like I said earlier, regardless.

583
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 4: You know good bad in the middle.

584
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 5: If I go play you know the way that you

585
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 5: know I've always played, and uh, you know, give it

586
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 5: everything I had, then you know I can go sleep

587
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 5: at night.

588
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: One and raised in Newark, Arkansas.

589
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: Form I grew up watching the Arkansas Razorbacks with Scottie Thurman,

590
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Carles Wives and.

591
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 2: All those guys.

592
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: They were one of the best kind of basketball teams

593
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: you've ever seen. What was the any life lessons? How

594
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: was it growing up in Arkansas?

595
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 4: I mean it was a lot of fun for me.

596
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: Thousand people.

597
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 5: Thousand people lived on three hundred acres, so you could

598
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 5: go a whole day without seeing anybody.

599
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 4: Which I like, I mean, I can go be to myself.

600
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 4: But it really taught me, you know, work ethic.

601
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 5: Honestly, My brother used to drag me to the gym

602
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 5: like my seventh grade year because I wasn't that interested,

603
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 5: and he would always just preach.

604
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 4: To me like you got to do more.

605
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 5: Like you're from you know, this area where you're not

606
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 5: going to get you know much, you know, publicity, you know, recognition,

607
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 5: So you got to be in the gym more. You

608
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 5: gotta be you know, a lot better than that that

609
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: guy that they're looking at because you know he's, you know,

610
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 5: playing AU. I only played one year AU, so that

611
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 5: was it was. It taught me really how to you know,

612
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 5: put my nose down and just work.

613
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: Was baseball your first love? Yeah? What position? Short stop? Nice?

614
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm nice. I used to be

615
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: all right, but I don't know about it anymore.

616
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 2: Three state championships, scoring seventy three points in the game. Okay,

617
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 2: was that your moment in high school?

618
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 5: Uh?

619
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

620
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 5: Other than winning uh we all want two with my

621
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 5: brother and then won my senior year. Probably the best

622
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 5: moment was winning at my freshman year. Nobody thought we

623
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 5: had any chance of winning that. We actually played elite

624
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 5: in the finals. He was a freshman, I was a freshman,

625
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 5: and let's say he had had a lot better game

626
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 5: than me.

627
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: But we won.

628
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,560

638
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,200

Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

640
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 5: Uh and you know he's probably the main one I give,

641
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 5: you know, mostly credit to for me being in the

642
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 5: position that I am now.

643
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: Uh, he actually plays over in Germany.

644
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,320

645
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 5: and you're twenty. Yeah, so he I mean, he loves

646
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 5: the game, so yeah, shout out what's his name, Spencer Reeves?

647

Speaker 2: Shout out Spence Spencer Reeves? Sub home slice. What's your

648
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: opinion on the Leaks Monks season? Yet?

649
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 5: I thought it was great and I think even when

650
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 5: he signed it was two summers ago. Last summer, I

651
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 5: thought that they got him on a steal.

652
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: Honestly. Uh, you know, his skill and his ability to

653
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 4: score the ball is is different.

654
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 5: He's one of the you know, few people that I

655
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 5: would say they can't really get a bucket at any facet,

656
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 5: you know, mid range three at the rim Athletic.

657
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the crazy working for the Kings chance to see.

658
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: I was surprised one on his playmaking and then his

659
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: ability to jump off.

660
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 5: He gets off the floor so quick. I always joke

661
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 5: with him like, you know, you don't even look at athletic.

662
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 5: But and then I always told him, and he you know,

663
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 5: he had go to the rim and lay something up.

664
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 5: I was like, man, if I was that athletic, I

665
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 5: would never shoot a lay up. But yeah, no, I

666
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 5: think you know, him and dr and being back together,

667
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 5: I think that gave him another you know, comfort level,

668
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 5: just being by someone that he's played with.

669
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: Coming out of Arkansas, you know, with small cities, you know,

693
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: two years ago, you were sitting here trying to figure

694
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,920

Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but uh, like you said, you know, there's

698
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 5: multiple times I'm sitting there by myself.

699
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 4: I might be playing the game aim or something, and

700
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 4: I'm just like, this ship can't be real, right.

701
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 5: I think there's mid twenties guys in the league that

702
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 5: got their own shooting.

703
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 4: For me to be one of them is you know, special.

704
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 4: And you know I never take that for granted.

705
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, it was a point where only guys that

706
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: were the faces of their teams say getting shoes, man,

707
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: So that's dope. Congrats bro, you guys. You guys tried

708
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: to do a shoe run one time, didn't you. Yeah,

709
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: so we talked about that. It didn't last long. I

710
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: had a shoe called protege a man Al Harrington.

711
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 5: Uh.

712
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: The sad part about it was, I'm pretty sure your

713
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: shoes won't do these things that my shoes were doing.

714
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: But every move I made at the time out.

715
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: You can just look at the court and all those

716
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: black marks where I was without my spot and defense

717
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: and told everything, and.

718
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: One time if the shoe kept his soul, well I

719
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: was getting to that. I mean, the court did well.

720
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: You know, I've definitely used three pair of shoes in

721
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: one game because you know, I might leave my soul

722
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: at half court.

723
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: You know, I might shoot a free throw, the tongue

724
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: might be off. You know, you never know what these shoes.

725
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: And it didn't last. But I guarantee you issues doing that.

726
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 4: The doing that you had to try it though.

727
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 2: You make some good money push. It was short lived, though.

728
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 2: Have you done your China tour yet? Have not?

729
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 5: That was actually going to be in August, but the

730
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 5: fever stuff might try to fit it in right at

731
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 5: the end of the fever stuff in the training camp.

732
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 3: So what so what's break from the end of fever

733
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: to I guess probably bronze camp will be coming right

734
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 3: before yours.

735
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 4: It's probably like weeks really like that.

736
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

737
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess it depends on how we do

738
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 5: fever wise. I don't really know how that works, but

739
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 5: I would say I think I seemed like the end

740
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 5: of it's like the tenth Bro.
