<v Speaker 2>And how did it feel to find out about the opportunity.

0:02:23.979 --> 0:02:26.099
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about the Olympics, but yeah, when you were

0:02:26.539 --> 0:02:30.339
<v Speaker 2>getting some well deserved relaxation in on vacation with your

0:02:30.379 --> 0:02:33.339
<v Speaker 2>wife and your your friends, how did it feel to

0:02:33.379 --> 0:02:36.179
<v Speaker 2>find out about this NBA opportunity while doing that?

0:02:36.859 --> 0:02:39.659
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was pretty amazing because you know, of

0:02:39.659 --> 0:02:43.219
<v Speaker 1>course I was relaxing, but I was still I still

0:02:43.219 --> 0:02:46.099
<v Speaker 1>had that energy that I wanted to play ball, you know,

0:02:46.139 --> 0:02:49.419
<v Speaker 1>after the Olympics and everything that we got going on,

0:02:49.579 --> 0:02:52.579
<v Speaker 1>so I was I was just so excited. I was

0:02:52.619 --> 0:02:55.619
<v Speaker 1>just so excited when I get the call to come

0:02:55.659 --> 0:02:57.979
<v Speaker 1>in here, because of course that was the second chot,

0:02:58.019 --> 0:03:01.979
<v Speaker 1>but that was the the the following summer.

0:03:02.139 --> 0:03:03.459
<v Speaker 3>That was pretty amazing for me.

0:03:04.139 --> 0:03:06.899
<v Speaker 2>What type of basketball player are Sixers?

0:03:06.939 --> 0:03:09.779
<v Speaker 1>Fans getting just a guy that come and play with

0:03:09.819 --> 0:03:11.259
<v Speaker 1>a lot of energy.

0:03:11.299 --> 0:03:12.299
<v Speaker 3>It was a lot of heart. You know.

0:03:12.339 --> 0:03:15.459
<v Speaker 1>I gave everything on the court. I always try to,

0:03:15.779 --> 0:03:18.699
<v Speaker 1>you know, do and play my best every time I

0:03:18.739 --> 0:03:20.619
<v Speaker 1>were at a jersey and I put my shoes on,

0:03:20.659 --> 0:03:24.379
<v Speaker 1>you know, so I just come in here. I have

0:03:24.459 --> 0:03:26.859
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun on the court, but I just

0:03:26.859 --> 0:03:27.739
<v Speaker 1>give everything, you know.

0:03:28.259 --> 0:03:31.659
<v Speaker 2>The Paris Olympics, you were one of the standout players.

0:03:31.699 --> 0:03:34.979
<v Speaker 2>I know the result wasn't exactly what you wanted. Another

0:03:35.059 --> 0:03:39.779
<v Speaker 2>silver medal though for you and France. Again, back to

0:03:39.979 --> 0:03:42.099
<v Speaker 2>how it felt. How did it feel to play so

0:03:42.219 --> 0:03:45.259
<v Speaker 2>well on that stage, especially given the fact that it

0:03:45.299 --> 0:03:47.299
<v Speaker 2>was a home Olympics in Paris.

0:03:47.539 --> 0:03:49.459
<v Speaker 3>I mean you just you just pointed a that it

0:03:49.579 --> 0:03:50.059
<v Speaker 3>was at home.

0:03:50.139 --> 0:03:53.859
<v Speaker 1>So we have this uh, this different type of energy,

0:03:54.739 --> 0:03:57.179
<v Speaker 1>you know, when I see my family, I see my

0:03:57.219 --> 0:03:59.699
<v Speaker 1>friends on the in the crowd, you know, and this

0:03:59.939 --> 0:04:00.819
<v Speaker 1>fan pushing us.

0:04:00.859 --> 0:04:03.459
<v Speaker 3>Of course, we have this second.

0:04:03.379 --> 0:04:06.739
<v Speaker 1>Uh let's say like hard, you know, so when we

0:04:06.739 --> 0:04:08.619
<v Speaker 1>we step on the court, we we just play hard,

0:04:08.659 --> 0:04:11.619
<v Speaker 1>you know. And my teammate did a great job of

0:04:11.699 --> 0:04:15.539
<v Speaker 1>just you know, feeding me and and helping me play

0:04:15.659 --> 0:04:17.859
<v Speaker 1>play my best, you know, and it was just us.

0:04:17.899 --> 0:04:20.219
<v Speaker 1>It was something that we were building, something that we

0:04:20.339 --> 0:04:24.179
<v Speaker 1>create with the players, and we just give everything in

0:04:24.219 --> 0:04:25.099
<v Speaker 1>Bulla And.

0:04:25.059 --> 0:04:27.779
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to win a medal in any event. Yes,

0:04:28.139 --> 0:04:30.659
<v Speaker 2>and Team USA is always the team to be and

0:04:30.659 --> 0:04:32.219
<v Speaker 2>that you guys made it all the way to the

0:04:32.259 --> 0:04:35.699
<v Speaker 2>gold medal game again against them. How much, if at all,

0:04:35.739 --> 0:04:38.179
<v Speaker 2>did you think going into the Olympic Games that if

0:04:38.219 --> 0:04:41.579
<v Speaker 2>you had a strong performance that it might help you

0:04:41.619 --> 0:04:42.659
<v Speaker 2>get back to the NBA.

0:04:43.139 --> 0:04:46.739
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't thinking of it that way, but I knew

0:04:46.779 --> 0:04:50.579
<v Speaker 1>that playing great will help me for sure, maybe get

0:04:50.579 --> 0:04:54.939
<v Speaker 1>a shot or not. Because the Olympics was late, so

0:04:55.019 --> 0:04:57.619
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know if it was still possible to make

0:04:57.659 --> 0:04:59.979
<v Speaker 1>that move. But you know, I knew that even if

0:04:59.979 --> 0:05:02.859
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't for this summer, maybe next summer, that would

0:05:02.899 --> 0:05:06.219
<v Speaker 1>help me to have a good performance in the Olympics.

0:05:06.339 --> 0:05:12.219
<v Speaker 2>You dunked on Lebron James. How many text messages, calls, facetimes,

0:05:12.259 --> 0:05:14.259
<v Speaker 2>whatever did you have after that?

0:05:15.019 --> 0:05:16.539
<v Speaker 3>It got crazy.

0:05:17.499 --> 0:05:19.939
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even I couldn't even go to social media

0:05:20.099 --> 0:05:24.739
<v Speaker 1>anymore because the app was just lagging so much because

0:05:24.739 --> 0:05:26.859
<v Speaker 1>every time I go it was messages. It was like

0:05:27.259 --> 0:05:31.299
<v Speaker 1>people just comment and following me, and I don't know

0:05:31.339 --> 0:05:34.779
<v Speaker 1>if it was for the Olympics in general, if it

0:05:34.819 --> 0:05:36.299
<v Speaker 1>was for the final, or if it was just for

0:05:36.339 --> 0:05:38.739
<v Speaker 1>the dunk. But you know, even my followers and everything

0:05:38.899 --> 0:05:43.539
<v Speaker 1>just got so crazy, and a couple of days that

0:05:43.619 --> 0:05:45.539
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't even get on social media.

0:05:46.019 --> 0:05:49.179
<v Speaker 2>You will have more moments in your basketball career, for sure,

0:05:49.219 --> 0:05:50.579
<v Speaker 2>but do you have the poster of that yet or

0:05:50.579 --> 0:05:51.819
<v Speaker 2>are you going to get it blown out?

0:05:51.899 --> 0:05:55.499
<v Speaker 1>So not yet, because you know, I was moving a lot.

0:05:55.539 --> 0:05:58.899
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have time to settle, go home and really.

0:05:58.659 --> 0:06:00.019
<v Speaker 3>Relax a little bit.

0:06:00.059 --> 0:06:04.219
<v Speaker 1>But uh, when I was in France, I booked a

0:06:05.779 --> 0:06:08.819
<v Speaker 1>room in a hotel right after the Olympic and they

0:06:08.859 --> 0:06:12.859
<v Speaker 1>had the poster already with like a little message and everything.

0:06:12.939 --> 0:06:16.059
<v Speaker 1>So I find it really really nice, and uh, you

0:06:16.099 --> 0:06:18.859
<v Speaker 1>know it was. It was really I was happy to

0:06:19.179 --> 0:06:20.339
<v Speaker 1>see that in a Mike smell.

0:06:20.419 --> 0:06:24.139
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be one of the most viewed plays history.

0:06:24.219 --> 0:06:24.619
<v Speaker 3>For sure.

0:06:25.419 --> 0:06:27.819
<v Speaker 2>You went up against Joel andb now your teammates with

0:06:27.899 --> 0:06:29.779
<v Speaker 2>him on the Sixers. What do you think that's going

0:06:29.859 --> 0:06:32.219
<v Speaker 2>to be like to be on the same team as Joel.

0:06:32.779 --> 0:06:34.379
<v Speaker 1>I think it's going to be good, and it's going

0:06:34.419 --> 0:06:38.699
<v Speaker 1>to be fun. I know he had quite a history

0:06:38.739 --> 0:06:43.699
<v Speaker 1>with the French fans, let's say, uh from you know,

0:06:43.739 --> 0:06:45.419
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff that got going on.

0:06:45.499 --> 0:06:46.859
<v Speaker 3>But I never had any bad.

0:06:46.739 --> 0:06:49.619
<v Speaker 1>Blog with him, you know, and you know the way

0:06:49.619 --> 0:06:52.579
<v Speaker 1>he reacts, for example when he was getting booed, and

0:06:52.939 --> 0:06:56.379
<v Speaker 1>you know he actually enjoyed. I like this type of

0:06:56.499 --> 0:06:58.779
<v Speaker 1>energy because I know that's what I would have done,

0:06:58.859 --> 0:07:01.619
<v Speaker 1>you know. So this is the little thing that comes

0:07:01.619 --> 0:07:04.539
<v Speaker 1>out and I know that we're going to be good.

0:07:04.579 --> 0:07:05.299
<v Speaker 3>Tomate for sure.

0:07:05.539 --> 0:07:08.379
<v Speaker 2>What have your early conversations been like with Joel and

0:07:08.459 --> 0:07:12.539
<v Speaker 2>another former sixer from France, timoth Ay Luau Cabarell.

0:07:12.699 --> 0:07:16.339
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and also Nico Opportunity was playing here, so I

0:07:16.419 --> 0:07:19.219
<v Speaker 1>talked more to both of them because obviously I played

0:07:19.219 --> 0:07:20.939
<v Speaker 1>with them in the French national team, and you know,

0:07:20.979 --> 0:07:25.299
<v Speaker 1>we got more conversational contact. But I knew I knew

0:07:25.339 --> 0:07:28.979
<v Speaker 1>Joel also from a little bit back in the day,

0:07:29.019 --> 0:07:32.779
<v Speaker 1>and of course when Timothy was here, I had to

0:07:33.259 --> 0:07:36.699
<v Speaker 1>spoke with him, so I said, we were in good contact,

0:07:36.699 --> 0:07:39.419
<v Speaker 1>and of course I would get to know more about

0:07:39.499 --> 0:07:43.899
<v Speaker 1>him this season and I think he's a good guy.

0:07:44.539 --> 0:07:48.139
<v Speaker 2>NBA experience for you from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen,

0:07:48.179 --> 0:07:51.299
<v Speaker 2>two seasons with the Boston Celtics. Do you remember your

0:07:51.339 --> 0:07:56.819
<v Speaker 2>first career regular season game in the NBA? October twenty

0:07:56.819 --> 0:07:58.219
<v Speaker 2>at twenty seventeen?

0:07:58.659 --> 0:08:00.899
<v Speaker 3>Was it wasn't it here? No? It was here? It

0:08:00.939 --> 0:08:01.979
<v Speaker 3>was here. It was in Philly.

0:08:02.099 --> 0:08:04.459
<v Speaker 1>I remember I made it three. That was the first

0:08:04.459 --> 0:08:07.779
<v Speaker 1>three in the NBA. You remember that oaking.

0:08:07.259 --> 0:08:09.259
<v Speaker 3>A lot of those open looks. That's why you have

0:08:09.339 --> 0:08:11.579
<v Speaker 3>the selic's here. Yeah you can shoot a little bit, right.

0:08:12.059 --> 0:08:14.339
<v Speaker 2>How did that moment feel when you checked into a

0:08:14.379 --> 0:08:16.819
<v Speaker 2>regular season NBA game for the first time, and just

0:08:16.859 --> 0:08:19.219
<v Speaker 2>the fact now it's come full circle in Philly.

0:08:19.419 --> 0:08:20.179
<v Speaker 3>It was just special.

0:08:20.259 --> 0:08:23.979
<v Speaker 1>There was a special moment because you know, obviously I

0:08:24.019 --> 0:08:26.819
<v Speaker 1>never hided you know, NBA always been my dream, you know,

0:08:27.139 --> 0:08:31.019
<v Speaker 1>since gonna start playing basketball, So obviously to check in

0:08:31.339 --> 0:08:34.299
<v Speaker 1>for your first minute, then you go in and you're

0:08:34.339 --> 0:08:36.539
<v Speaker 1>able to hit the three, and you know get that feeling.

0:08:36.579 --> 0:08:39.059
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's just amazing, and you know it just

0:08:39.099 --> 0:08:41.259
<v Speaker 1>helped you to get in the game a little bit more.

0:08:41.739 --> 0:08:45.259
<v Speaker 3>But playing that first game against Philly.

0:08:44.939 --> 0:08:47.619
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, having this little history Celtics in

0:08:47.619 --> 0:08:50.019
<v Speaker 1>Philly and not being Philly, it's just amazing.

0:08:50.539 --> 0:08:52.419
<v Speaker 3>This is just how the word is going.

0:08:53.059 --> 0:08:55.739
<v Speaker 1>You never know where you're going to be, who you're

0:08:55.779 --> 0:08:56.819
<v Speaker 1>going to play, and stuff like that.

0:08:56.939 --> 0:08:58.539
<v Speaker 3>So I found that just amazing.

0:08:58.979 --> 0:09:02.539
<v Speaker 2>Second chances. It's your second chance at an NBA career.

0:09:03.259 --> 0:09:04.979
<v Speaker 2>What's motivating you right now?

0:09:05.379 --> 0:09:08.899
<v Speaker 1>I'm just so excited. I'm just so excited. I've been

0:09:08.939 --> 0:09:12.619
<v Speaker 1>there before. I've been the disposition. I didn't get the

0:09:12.699 --> 0:09:16.059
<v Speaker 1>chance to really express myself in my game in the Celtics.

0:09:16.059 --> 0:09:20.939
<v Speaker 1>But you know, like five, five, seven years after, I

0:09:20.939 --> 0:09:26.259
<v Speaker 1>feel like, you know, I'm ready and I'm happy that

0:09:26.379 --> 0:09:30.139
<v Speaker 1>he got the way he got because I got better

0:09:30.939 --> 0:09:34.019
<v Speaker 1>mentally physically. You know, in my game, I improve a

0:09:34.019 --> 0:09:36.379
<v Speaker 1>lot and I understand the game more now, So I

0:09:36.379 --> 0:09:39.299
<v Speaker 1>feel like I'm more prepared and more ready to have

0:09:39.339 --> 0:09:42.339
<v Speaker 1>an impact now that I would have five years ago.

0:09:42.779 --> 0:09:46.139
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned Real Madrid earlier. The euro League is well

0:09:46.139 --> 0:09:49.299
<v Speaker 2>known as a really tough league and your team, you

0:09:49.379 --> 0:09:52.779
<v Speaker 2>and your team had a lot of success, multiple championships,

0:09:52.779 --> 0:09:55.339
<v Speaker 2>But just with how that league goes and the style

0:09:55.379 --> 0:09:57.579
<v Speaker 2>of play and how your team played, how do you

0:09:57.619 --> 0:10:01.419
<v Speaker 2>think playing with Real Madrid will help you fit into

0:10:01.499 --> 0:10:03.699
<v Speaker 2>this Sixers team back into the NBA.

0:10:04.219 --> 0:10:05.299
<v Speaker 3>Well, first, of all.

0:10:05.259 --> 0:10:10.339
<v Speaker 1>Real Madrid as we were laughing about it with Mario

0:10:10.859 --> 0:10:14.619
<v Speaker 1>Azonia because we looked at the team and it was

0:10:14.859 --> 0:10:19.379
<v Speaker 1>all NBA players in our team, like most of the

0:10:19.419 --> 0:10:25.219
<v Speaker 1>guys went to the NBA or a top really top

0:10:25.299 --> 0:10:28.819
<v Speaker 1>Euroaque player, you know. So this help us a lot

0:10:28.859 --> 0:10:31.339
<v Speaker 1>because we play on the great players, you know, so

0:10:31.699 --> 0:10:34.859
<v Speaker 1>in practice and in the game, you learn and you

0:10:34.939 --> 0:10:39.779
<v Speaker 1>get to experience those stuff with being with great players,

0:10:39.779 --> 0:10:42.419
<v Speaker 1>you know, so compared to the NBA for me to

0:10:42.459 --> 0:10:44.019
<v Speaker 1>come in the year, like I'm going to be with

0:10:44.059 --> 0:10:46.419
<v Speaker 1>great players too, you know, so just don't understand the

0:10:46.459 --> 0:10:48.459
<v Speaker 1>game a little bit more and you know, knowing to

0:10:48.579 --> 0:10:51.979
<v Speaker 1>what I can and doing what I can't really do

0:10:52.019 --> 0:10:52.899
<v Speaker 1>to help me a lot.

0:10:53.259 --> 0:10:56.379
<v Speaker 2>And not just the euro League in recent years, but

0:10:56.419 --> 0:11:00.019
<v Speaker 2>you've been a professional basketball player since you were a teenager,

0:11:00.019 --> 0:11:02.419
<v Speaker 2>and I know before you were ever in the NBA.

0:11:02.699 --> 0:11:04.059
<v Speaker 2>Some of the things that kind of threw you a

0:11:04.099 --> 0:11:06.179
<v Speaker 2>little bit, where the back to backs and the long

0:11:06.619 --> 0:11:09.179
<v Speaker 2>road trips, how does that compare to what you just

0:11:09.219 --> 0:11:11.699
<v Speaker 2>experienced in the euro League. Do you think you'll be

0:11:11.699 --> 0:11:15.219
<v Speaker 2>better prepared for the NBA schedule now that you've already done.

0:11:15.019 --> 0:11:17.499
<v Speaker 3>It, Yes, for sure, because you know.

0:11:17.659 --> 0:11:21.299
<v Speaker 1>Also is one thing that we cannot pass is the

0:11:21.499 --> 0:11:27.779
<v Speaker 1>NBA also have the ability for rest, you know, for

0:11:27.859 --> 0:11:30.739
<v Speaker 1>coming back, well, the plans and all the stuff that's

0:11:30.779 --> 0:11:33.299
<v Speaker 1>made for the players, you know, saying we don't have

0:11:33.379 --> 0:11:37.939
<v Speaker 1>this in Europe. You know, so even if we have

0:11:38.059 --> 0:11:40.539
<v Speaker 1>back to backs here, then we don't in Europe. The

0:11:40.619 --> 0:11:43.939
<v Speaker 1>recovery process and everything that the NBA got for the

0:11:43.939 --> 0:11:46.099
<v Speaker 1>players is still going to be good, you know. So

0:11:47.179 --> 0:11:49.259
<v Speaker 1>to experience the back to back, you know, and I

0:11:49.299 --> 0:11:51.059
<v Speaker 1>know it's going to be tough. It's not something that

0:11:51.739 --> 0:11:53.979
<v Speaker 1>is easy to do. But you know, I think it's

0:11:53.979 --> 0:11:56.179
<v Speaker 1>a good challenge and I'm all for it, you know.

0:11:56.699 --> 0:11:58.579
<v Speaker 2>And I know here in Philly there aren't a lot

0:11:58.619 --> 0:12:00.859
<v Speaker 2>of Jersey numbers to pick from because there are a

0:12:00.939 --> 0:12:03.179
<v Speaker 2>lot that are retired. But you were number twenty eight

0:12:03.219 --> 0:12:05.579
<v Speaker 2>with Real Madrid. You're about to wear number twenty eight

0:12:05.579 --> 0:12:08.619
<v Speaker 2>again with the six Ers. Where does that come from?

0:12:08.739 --> 0:12:12.819
<v Speaker 1>So twenty eight is the postal code of my hometown.

0:12:14.019 --> 0:12:15.979
<v Speaker 1>So I had it in the Madrid I had it

0:12:16.019 --> 0:12:20.379
<v Speaker 1>also in the Asvil Tony Parker's Club. But you know,

0:12:20.459 --> 0:12:24.299
<v Speaker 1>since that, I feel like everything has been well, and

0:12:24.619 --> 0:12:28.099
<v Speaker 1>I want to say that then me kind of. You know,

0:12:28.459 --> 0:12:32.619
<v Speaker 1>this was like after China and mistarting, let's say go

0:12:32.699 --> 0:12:35.099
<v Speaker 1>back and has to go back up and start with

0:12:35.179 --> 0:12:37.819
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight and everything's been great so far, so just

0:12:37.899 --> 0:12:38.259
<v Speaker 1>keep it.

0:12:38.819 --> 0:12:42.779
<v Speaker 2>Two stints for you in the Chinese Basketball Association. What

0:12:42.899 --> 0:12:45.979
<v Speaker 2>was different about them? Like what parts of your career

0:12:46.459 --> 0:12:47.259
<v Speaker 2>did those come in?

0:12:47.899 --> 0:12:51.339
<v Speaker 1>So I will talk about my first experience in Shanghai

0:12:51.539 --> 0:12:55.939
<v Speaker 1>Sharks before to Boston Celtics. It was just an amazing

0:12:55.979 --> 0:12:59.619
<v Speaker 1>experience for me to have because as a young age,

0:13:00.699 --> 0:13:03.139
<v Speaker 1>as a young pro, so I feel like I needed

0:13:03.179 --> 0:13:06.779
<v Speaker 1>to leave my country just to experience to be a

0:13:06.859 --> 0:13:09.699
<v Speaker 1>foreigner player and be on the team when you have

0:13:09.739 --> 0:13:12.579
<v Speaker 1>that pressure that if you don't play good, you're going

0:13:12.619 --> 0:13:15.219
<v Speaker 1>back home, you know. So I just feel that this

0:13:15.419 --> 0:13:18.339
<v Speaker 1>was a good challenge for me mentally, but also, you know,

0:13:18.419 --> 0:13:22.819
<v Speaker 1>push myself and I wanted to sell myself, not in trouble,

0:13:22.859 --> 0:13:25.899
<v Speaker 1>but like in bad situation to see how I will react,

0:13:25.939 --> 0:13:28.779
<v Speaker 1>you know, just to get better. And you know, those

0:13:28.779 --> 0:13:32.059
<v Speaker 1>things really worked pretty wet and it was pretty much amazing.

0:13:32.179 --> 0:13:34.899
<v Speaker 1>And my second year after Boston Celtics, I went to Nijing.

0:13:35.499 --> 0:13:38.259
<v Speaker 1>The situation was a little bit different with the club

0:13:38.299 --> 0:13:38.739
<v Speaker 1>and stuff.

0:13:38.779 --> 0:13:39.779
<v Speaker 3>But you know.

0:13:41.259 --> 0:13:44.859
<v Speaker 1>That was kind of like after Boston when I didn't

0:13:44.939 --> 0:13:47.379
<v Speaker 1>have anything, so I decided to go to China and

0:13:47.379 --> 0:13:49.619
<v Speaker 1>then I went to friends and as well, and then

0:13:49.619 --> 0:13:53.459
<v Speaker 1>from there we just build and create and uh, you know,

0:13:53.699 --> 0:13:54.579
<v Speaker 1>learn and got better.

0:13:55.099 --> 0:13:57.539
<v Speaker 2>It's all part of the journey and going way back

0:13:57.579 --> 0:14:01.419
<v Speaker 2>as we begin to wrap things up. Growing up in France,

0:14:01.899 --> 0:14:04.899
<v Speaker 2>your father was a boxer. Yeah, what is your family

0:14:05.419 --> 0:14:06.779
<v Speaker 2>history with the sport of boxing?

0:14:08.339 --> 0:14:13.819
<v Speaker 1>My dad probably just uh train not the whole city,

0:14:13.899 --> 0:14:17.179
<v Speaker 1>but pretty much of the people in the city. Uh,

0:14:17.339 --> 0:14:19.579
<v Speaker 1>that's how everybody kind of like to my dad, my

0:14:19.619 --> 0:14:23.499
<v Speaker 1>family and everybody, but in my family trained everybody. We

0:14:23.539 --> 0:14:28.219
<v Speaker 1>all grew up boxing. My dad was a boxer, but

0:14:28.259 --> 0:14:33.819
<v Speaker 1>he didn't a bunch of like other sporting fight for example,

0:14:33.859 --> 0:14:37.659
<v Speaker 1>like he was karate. He was doing like a window

0:14:37.739 --> 0:14:38.819
<v Speaker 1>like like a bunch of.

0:14:39.059 --> 0:14:41.259
<v Speaker 2>Are you a black belt in crowded me?

0:14:42.459 --> 0:14:44.659
<v Speaker 1>But I did a little bit of judo okay, and

0:14:44.779 --> 0:14:47.619
<v Speaker 1>my dad did judo too, So in the family that

0:14:47.659 --> 0:14:50.779
<v Speaker 1>we have this basil, you know, knowing a little bit

0:14:50.819 --> 0:14:54.539
<v Speaker 1>of sport contact and stuff like that.

0:14:54.699 --> 0:14:56.539
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to try to stay on your good side.

0:14:57.419 --> 0:14:59.179
<v Speaker 2>When's the last time you were in the ring.

0:14:59.819 --> 0:15:02.579
<v Speaker 1>It was now a long time agoing out of course,

0:15:02.619 --> 0:15:05.619
<v Speaker 1>I you know, speaking about all this stuff, because after that,

0:15:05.939 --> 0:15:07.539
<v Speaker 1>the people are going to take this out and act

0:15:07.619 --> 0:15:08.539
<v Speaker 1>like I'm a violent guy.

0:15:08.579 --> 0:15:10.739
<v Speaker 3>But I'm really a nice guy. You know. I never

0:15:11.339 --> 0:15:13.419
<v Speaker 3>I tried never to get mad or stuff like that.

0:15:14.179 --> 0:15:18.059
<v Speaker 2>When you were starting to play basketball, you left your family,

0:15:18.139 --> 0:15:21.459
<v Speaker 2>your home at age eleven. How far from home were you?

0:15:21.499 --> 0:15:24.179
<v Speaker 1>What was that experience like so you have to take

0:15:24.179 --> 0:15:27.899
<v Speaker 1>a train, I will say it was like, no, the

0:15:27.979 --> 0:15:32.219
<v Speaker 1>first one from eleven to thirteen. I was in a

0:15:32.259 --> 0:15:35.819
<v Speaker 1>place called the Pole and it was in two I

0:15:35.859 --> 0:15:40.059
<v Speaker 1>think it was like three hours something to go there.

0:15:40.299 --> 0:15:42.339
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I was there the whole weekend. I

0:15:42.379 --> 0:15:44.859
<v Speaker 1>was coming back the weekend, so it wasn't that bad.

0:15:44.939 --> 0:15:49.139
<v Speaker 1>And playing basketball and you know, meeting new friend and

0:15:49.219 --> 0:15:52.339
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. I feel like I needed that to

0:15:52.459 --> 0:15:54.299
<v Speaker 1>be just a little bit away from my family, just

0:15:54.299 --> 0:15:56.299
<v Speaker 1>for me to grow up and you know, learn new stuff.

0:15:56.299 --> 0:15:58.859
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to stay home till I'm thirty, you know,

0:15:58.939 --> 0:16:01.859
<v Speaker 1>so I wanted to move kind of like early. So

0:16:02.219 --> 0:16:05.819
<v Speaker 1>I liked that part of basketball, which is like taking

0:16:05.859 --> 0:16:09.339
<v Speaker 1>me far away a little bit from family, friends, just

0:16:09.379 --> 0:16:11.459
<v Speaker 1>to create like a new life.

0:16:11.899 --> 0:16:14.379
<v Speaker 2>You hear about it sometimes with fourteen fifteen year olds

0:16:14.379 --> 0:16:17.139
<v Speaker 2>in the States, but eleven is super young. Yeah, to

0:16:17.219 --> 0:16:20.419
<v Speaker 2>begin that process. But I know you said when you

0:16:20.819 --> 0:16:23.299
<v Speaker 2>start getting more into basketball, that you wanted to be

0:16:23.339 --> 0:16:26.939
<v Speaker 2>in the league, the NBA from a young age. What

0:16:26.979 --> 0:16:29.059
<v Speaker 2>type of exposure did you have to the NBA? Were

0:16:29.099 --> 0:16:31.579
<v Speaker 2>you able to watch it? Watch highlights in France?

0:16:31.819 --> 0:16:34.499
<v Speaker 1>I think when like YouTube and all this stuff came,

0:16:34.659 --> 0:16:38.019
<v Speaker 1>like at the beginning, when we was watching of course,

0:16:38.059 --> 0:16:40.459
<v Speaker 1>like you have the suggestions and stuff like that, and

0:16:40.939 --> 0:16:42.699
<v Speaker 1>I was looking and like I was saying, I was

0:16:43.059 --> 0:16:46.939
<v Speaker 1>watching Kobe Byrne, you know, back in the day and

0:16:47.099 --> 0:16:50.339
<v Speaker 1>the wages he was playing, way it was moving and

0:16:50.419 --> 0:16:52.259
<v Speaker 1>everything that he brought to the game. And when I

0:16:52.339 --> 0:16:55.259
<v Speaker 1>was watching outside of the game, how he was training

0:16:55.339 --> 0:16:56.899
<v Speaker 1>and all the stuff that he was doing.

0:16:56.899 --> 0:16:58.099
<v Speaker 3>I was just amazed.

0:16:58.819 --> 0:17:02.419
<v Speaker 1>At a young age, you had to work hard to

0:17:02.459 --> 0:17:06.019
<v Speaker 1>become a good player, and I just got addicted to

0:17:06.059 --> 0:17:08.579
<v Speaker 1>the to the work process, you know, just too good

0:17:08.619 --> 0:17:09.099
<v Speaker 1>to the gym.

0:17:09.179 --> 0:17:11.099
<v Speaker 3>And at a young age.

0:17:10.979 --> 0:17:12.819
<v Speaker 1>I was going to the gym by myself just to

0:17:12.859 --> 0:17:16.419
<v Speaker 1>sho hopes for like forty five minutes just by myself

0:17:17.099 --> 0:17:20.539
<v Speaker 1>counting the clockdown and shooting birds like you know, little

0:17:20.539 --> 0:17:22.739
<v Speaker 1>things like that and that make me love the gaming,

0:17:22.819 --> 0:17:25.619
<v Speaker 1>that make me, you know, progress and get better.

0:17:26.659 --> 0:17:28.619
<v Speaker 2>I've got two more questions for you. One of them

0:17:28.699 --> 0:17:30.979
<v Speaker 2>is more of a formality about the nickname that the

0:17:31.059 --> 0:17:33.339
<v Speaker 2>Dancing Bear. I know it's it's you get asked in

0:17:33.379 --> 0:17:37.459
<v Speaker 2>every single interview why you're called the dancing Bear. But

0:17:37.819 --> 0:17:39.619
<v Speaker 2>just for anyone out there who might not know, what's

0:17:39.659 --> 0:17:41.219
<v Speaker 2>the story behind it. Who gave it to you?

0:17:41.659 --> 0:17:45.259
<v Speaker 1>That was a Kutcher Srewsbury that I had in Boston Celtics.

0:17:46.939 --> 0:17:48.899
<v Speaker 3>It was it was just during the summer league. That's

0:17:48.899 --> 0:17:49.819
<v Speaker 3>my first summer league.

0:17:49.859 --> 0:17:54.659
<v Speaker 1>And I don't I don't think he meant it the

0:17:54.699 --> 0:17:56.819
<v Speaker 1>first one. The first time he said it, like you know,

0:17:56.859 --> 0:17:58.339
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be a nickname, but it was

0:17:58.419 --> 0:17:58.899
<v Speaker 1>just like.

0:17:59.139 --> 0:17:59.619
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:17:59.739 --> 0:18:02.379
<v Speaker 1>The kids is just like he's strong, it's just like

0:18:02.419 --> 0:18:04.979
<v Speaker 1>a bear. And then his feet moving so fast like

0:18:05.019 --> 0:18:08.779
<v Speaker 1>he's for for his weight. It's pretty much amazing, like

0:18:08.819 --> 0:18:10.499
<v Speaker 1>he's he's he's just.

0:18:10.419 --> 0:18:12.099
<v Speaker 3>Like it looks like he's dancing every time. It's just

0:18:12.099 --> 0:18:12.899
<v Speaker 3>like a dancing bear.

0:18:13.019 --> 0:18:15.179
<v Speaker 1>You know, you just say that like that it's just

0:18:15.899 --> 0:18:17.459
<v Speaker 1>like some of the media just took it out and

0:18:17.499 --> 0:18:20.499
<v Speaker 1>then from there it become like this big thing when

0:18:20.539 --> 0:18:21.779
<v Speaker 1>everybody was coming to be like that.

0:18:22.099 --> 0:18:25.699
<v Speaker 2>And that's Micah Shrewsbury, the former Celtics coaches now the

0:18:25.739 --> 0:18:28.899
<v Speaker 2>head coach at Notre Dame exactly. And then wrapping up

0:18:28.899 --> 0:18:32.259
<v Speaker 2>with this, you said that you've always, even when growing up,

0:18:32.379 --> 0:18:38.579
<v Speaker 2>have kind of been into American music, TV shows, still, movies. Yeah,

0:18:38.619 --> 0:18:41.179
<v Speaker 2>and now still I'm sure you've become even more acclimated

0:18:41.219 --> 0:18:43.339
<v Speaker 2>with it all. But what are some of your favorites,

0:18:43.419 --> 0:18:46.219
<v Speaker 2>favorite artists, shows, movies, all that stuff.

0:18:46.299 --> 0:18:50.179
<v Speaker 1>I will say, as far as like a artists stuff

0:18:50.219 --> 0:18:53.779
<v Speaker 1>like that, there's a bunch of guys that I can't name,

0:18:53.899 --> 0:18:56.419
<v Speaker 1>of course, but one that stands out that I like

0:18:56.499 --> 0:18:58.859
<v Speaker 1>for the music and things that he said, because I

0:18:58.939 --> 0:19:00.699
<v Speaker 1>like to listen to sorts of stuff that makes sense

0:19:00.699 --> 0:19:03.979
<v Speaker 1>and not just a bunch of nonsense.

0:19:04.059 --> 0:19:05.619
<v Speaker 3>Let's say, but Jacob.

0:19:05.739 --> 0:19:08.899
<v Speaker 1>You know, I like Jacob and the music device and

0:19:09.219 --> 0:19:11.779
<v Speaker 1>just just the guys in general. You know, like it's

0:19:11.819 --> 0:19:13.579
<v Speaker 1>not the guy you will see with tons of Julie

0:19:13.659 --> 0:19:15.779
<v Speaker 1>and tons of stuff like that. It's just being natural.

0:19:15.859 --> 0:19:18.699
<v Speaker 1>And I think this is what it's all about and

0:19:18.779 --> 0:19:21.219
<v Speaker 1>of course Kendrick Klamer or two and stands out that

0:19:21.339 --> 0:19:23.659
<v Speaker 1>like the music and the words that they put in

0:19:23.739 --> 0:19:25.859
<v Speaker 1>everything that he says, and if I have to peak

0:19:25.939 --> 0:19:28.699
<v Speaker 1>up the movie and a couple of classics of course,

0:19:28.779 --> 0:19:29.859
<v Speaker 1>like love and basketball.

0:19:29.899 --> 0:19:33.419
<v Speaker 3>Of course everybody went the movie and society.

0:19:33.019 --> 0:19:36.379
<v Speaker 1>And all this this good movie that I liked, and

0:19:36.419 --> 0:19:40.499
<v Speaker 1>I like, grew up learning English redo this movie kind

0:19:40.499 --> 0:19:42.179
<v Speaker 1>of so that have me a lot.

0:19:42.899 --> 0:19:51.339
