22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,440

Speaker 1: know a lot of people out there kind of they

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: have an idea about what that looks like, but I

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: kind of want you to tell us what that looks

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: like from when you wake up in the morning, when

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: you go to bed. What does a typical day in

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: the life of Flint Parks CP s A look like.

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty much basketball from the time I

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: wake up, whether they're starting to workouts, you know, um

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: with my young kids that are on home school right

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: now and so got that during the day, and then

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: when school gets out in the afternoon, the kids that

37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: are in railar school kind of transition with them and

38
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: and it's just going NonStop, like and then like a

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: night like last night, you know, I have a game

40
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: where I'll go to Lombie State game watch one of

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: my college kids play shout out to Lombie State Big

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: West Conference champs and so um. Yeah, so I'm either

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm either training, um, going to a college game, going

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: to a high school game, you know, or and you're

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: just going back to the gym at night. It's pretty

46
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: much basketball consumes my life. And I mean for some

47
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: people it's like find balance, do this, but I mean

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: this has always been this has always been my outlet

49
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: and my thing, and I mean it's a positive thing too,

50
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: so I love it. Yeah, it seems like you know,

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: you're the type of guy that and then you've come

52
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: to uh, when I was calling games, you came to

53
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: a game at c Sign, I think of the R

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: King game. But you're the kind of guy that, you know,

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: you really intently are watching the game. You're watching players,

56
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: watching who's you're watching coaches, You're watching pretty much everything

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: in the game. How important is it for you to

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: go to these games when you're training a player just

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: to get a better understanding or grasp of his game

60
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: and what he needs to work on. Well, that's everything

61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: go into the game because you have to like you

62
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: have to see, okay, like what's working, what's not working,

63
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: what tweaks you gotta make when when we're in workouts,

64
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: like what do we need to emphasize more? What are

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: we spending too much time on? Like, you know, the

66
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: worst thing you could be is you know, this is

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: a hooper yourself, Like is a workout guy? If you're

68
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: don't translate to the game. If if it's not like,

69
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: if the work isn't translating to the game, then what

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: are we doing? You know, like I you know, nobody

71
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: gets paid off the workout. Yeah, so these guys that

72
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: look great in the workouts with nobody there or in

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: front of some cones. You know, they're hitting every shot,

74
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: they're making every play, making every cup. But you put

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: a body out there, a little bit of defense and

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: a couple of refs. The worst, it's the worst, the

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: absolute worst. So I can't stand it. So I've always said,

78
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: like you got to be able to do it in

79
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: the game, and you know, to be able to break

80
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: it down, go to the game and see it. See

81
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: what you see what you're doing right, see what you're

82
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: doing wrong. And it's like it's constant evolution from on

83
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: their end and my end too because I'm still trying

84
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: to get better. I'm still watching different guys, I'm watching

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: workouts on the internet. I'm studying different players. I'm I'm

86
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: just constantly trying to learn, give myself, give my players

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: that advantage. But we have, you know a lot of

88
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: diverse variety of listeners that tune into the show. Um,

89
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: when you talk about a player that's a workout player

90
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: or practice player, and and the and that player said

91
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: player has issues with translating stuff to the game, how

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: do you, as a skill specialist, as a player development guru,

93
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: how do you how do you implement a plan, a

94
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: st strategy for that player to become game ready to

95
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: not be the workout guy anymore? How do you go

96
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: from a workout guy to a game a game guy.

97
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: It's hard, but I think the thing I always try

98
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: to focus on is that you know a lot of

99
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: things that you can get off in the workout without

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: even if you have like dummy defense, Like the defense

101
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: is changing when the game starts, so you know, more

102
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: aggressive defenders physical defenders. Always tell kids, like tell guys

103
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: at every level, you beat good defenders, You beat aggressive

104
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: defenders by keeping it simple. They want you to dance,

105
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: they want you to try to mix them and try

106
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: to go for the highlight like you're not really like

107
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: against the sound defensive player, you're not really getting no

108
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: highlight highlight off, Like you're not about that. You're not

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: about to just shake them something crazy. You're gonna have

110
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: to like you're gonna have to beat them with fundamentals,

111
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: you know. And so that's what I always try to

112
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: That's why I preach, you know, keeping it simple basics

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: so much because the game and the half court, especially

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: in college, the floors ball damn on, there's no spacing. Um,

115
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: so your point, you could be playing against some teams

116
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: like UM Virginia who send five guys back in transition

117
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: and they're just like they might they might have one

118
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: guy go to the glass for offensive glass. So you're

119
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: not really getting nothing in transition. So your game really

120
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: needs to be you know, you need to be good

121
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: in tight spaces. You need to be able to make shots.

122
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: You need to be you gotta make open shots. And

123
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: that's where it starts. And if you're constantly a lot

124
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: of guys that are good to work out like they're

125
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: just getting all types of extra moves off, and then

126
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: you gotta I mean, some guys has got a mental block,

127
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: like there's nothing like some guys are just three thirty shooters,

128
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: you know. Butter you get seven eight o'clock, the pressure on,

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: the lights come on. You know, it's a different type

130
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: of anxiety they might get. And it's just I mean

131
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: it's hard to shake that, it is. Yeah, My pop,

132
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: the Great Marcus Johnson, used to all is kind of

133
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: have a thing about that. You know, he always talked

134
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: about when I was coming up. You know, players, you know,

135
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: certain players excel without refs, without the smell of popcorn

136
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: in the arena, without fans in the stands, without the

137
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: lights being on. Some guys, you know, they look all

138
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: world with nobody in the gym, but you put a

139
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: body in front of them and an arm check and

140
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: it's a whole another story. Um. Staying on development, I

141
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: wanted to get your opinion on first high school programs

142
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: in the southern California area, which you have seen a

143
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: lot of. Uh, as far as basketball is concerned. What

144
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: do you consider the top two or three high school

145
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: basketball programs as far from a development standpoint. Guys that

146
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: go there and you know for a fact that coaches

147
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: are working on a daily basis to get them guys better. Hey,

148
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: that's a tough question, would you? Okay, I think I'm

149
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: sorry to interrupt you, So I think I like Corona

150
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: Centennial and what and what Josh Giles does over there

151
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: as far as how players go in and like you know,

152
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: it seems like they work on a lot of stuff

153
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: and then by the time they leave their pretty dog

154
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: a good basketball player. Um is would you is there

155
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: any other I E. Schools or maybe o C or

156
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: any any programs like that Consentennia, those guys get better,

157
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: they have, um that they have a good system set

158
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: in place with his assistant former players that are working

159
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: with the guys as well, so you can see the

160
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: emphasis on development from that standpoint. Um. I don't know

161
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: how much Kleckner does with development, but I just know

162
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: over the years, like his guys have they're they're usually

163
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: college ready. Defensively, yeah, I don't wanted to play hard,

164
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: you know. Um. Reggie Morris has done a good job

165
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: over the years, developing guards, developing players. I'm preparing them

166
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: for college and helping them get on that track to

167
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: them to the next level. Um. Um. Russell White was

168
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: another one. He was really good over the years. You know,

169
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: when he was at Crespy was obviously the Anthony Milton

170
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: and Brendan Williams and the NBA now as well. Um,

171
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: David Biebo, he's um, he's doing his thing at Harvard Westlake.

172
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: You know. You know Moose gets guys better. You know,

173
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: Um that Brent Wood. You're dealing with a different type

174
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: of kid, but he does a good job coaching them

175
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: up and and developing the guy. I mean, there's so

176
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: many coaches out here. I know this is, but there's

177
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of really good

178
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: I mean, um, I think in the Orange County, I'm

179
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: not really oh see, guy, like I don't know, I

180
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: don't know the land of the land like that, you know,

181
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: so I can't really speak to what over the years,

182
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: you know, how the basketball is the development wise, when

183
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: like when you were working with middle school kids, you

184
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: work with a lot of them. You've got some pretty

185
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: good players and parents are coming you seeking out your

186
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: advice for schools, you know, for programs or to continue

187
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: their basketball and athletic journey on the next level. What

188
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: factors in a program do you sort of take into

189
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: account when you give advice to parents. The first thing

190
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: is what level of player are you you know, that's

191
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: where the honesty has to start. Like what are you?

192
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Are you somebody that's gonna play varsity as a freshman?

193
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: Are you gonna play JV? Are you gonna play a freshman?

194
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: So we've got to separate that right there, you know.

195
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: So say you're a varsity player, so everybody pretty much

196
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: knows me if you're a kid that's going to be

197
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: playing varsity as a freshman, I'm going where I'm going

198
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: to have a role, big role, preferably the ball in

199
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: hands and be able to play through mistakes and um,

200
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: learn on the floor because you get better. Um, Like

201
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: developing and training is like this is like that's my livelihood, right,

202
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: But the most importan in peace to development is live reps.

203
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm no dummy, you know, Like we could drill workout

204
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: all day, but if you don't get you a live reps,

205
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: you're not in a situation where you can play the mistakes.

206
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: Then your development is going to be studied. Right. So

207
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: that's like, Okay, how does the coach play and what's

208
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: his style of play? What's his um what's his m O?

209
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: How is he you know, um with um young players?

210
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Does he have a does he feel comfortable playing young

211
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: guards or is he like oh, is he like a

212
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: guy like oh, I gotta give my seniors, you know,

213
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: like you gotta you got you gotta ask honest you

214
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: you gotta really evaluate the situation, um, evaluate the style

215
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: of play, all of that, and you gotta be honest.

216
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm always honest with coaches up front, like what

217
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: I what what I'm expecting, Like, okay, you tell me

218
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: what you're expecting where you're at, Like, I don't want

219
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: there to be no surprise. I always tell people I'm

220
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: not a little kid. I don't like surprises. Yeah, don't

221
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: surprise me with nothing mid season because then I'm gonna

222
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: be an issue. You told me one thing and you're

223
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: doing another thing. Problem, it's a problem. I don't know

224
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like if I'm like, you know what,

225
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get me, but that's no, I didn't mean

226
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: to cut you off. But on the same hand, on

227
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: token Clint, like you know, coaches, especially in the high

228
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: school level, I mean, you promise kids anything as far

229
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: as playing time, it becomes problematic because there's a lot

230
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: of dynamics and factors that could change between that day

231
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: and by the time practice to go through through summer

232
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: league and you know, fall practice and all that. The

233
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: kid may just not be good enough. And so you know,

234
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: we didn't know that. We thought he was good enough

235
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: before you got us. You gassed us up telling us

236
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: he was this and that, and he clint real quick.

237
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: He turned out not to be like that. Now you're

238
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: giving me problems because I'm not playing them. How does

239
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: that work? Bro? But I don't see. I can't relate

240
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: to that because I don't gas. I don't gass up,

241
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: because that's when you gass up, then you run into that. Yeah,

242
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like, don't gas. If you

243
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: don't gas on the front end, then you're not getting up.

244
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: You know, Like Larry Shy used to tell me all

245
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: the time, under sail under promise over deliver, you know,

246
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: don't don't promise more than you can deliver. Like if

247
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: you're just honest and straightforward like from the Jump Street,

248
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: then there's no issues. Like I remember years ago, I

249
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: had Jeremy Lieberman. You get the kid played Calibass's wyoming.

250
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: He was good. We had went to Cresby and I

251
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: took him like he was eighth grade and they had

252
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: London they had, they already had like London promtists there.

253
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was think he was like

254
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: a grade older and you know, Rust just told me

255
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: what it was like. Would love to have him, you know,

256
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: but I got a point guard a year ahead of him,

257
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: Like so you know what I'm saying, Like he's gonna

258
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: have to play behind him and learn, and like I

259
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: was like, damn, you know, but I respected that because

260
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Russ was real with me, and so I was like, Okay,

261
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: we're going to calabasss like it's not this is not

262
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: and me and rest remain cool. You know the past.

263
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: This is twelve years ago. We remain cool all that time.

264
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: But just that little bit of honesty and letting me

265
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: know exactly what it was and where he was went

266
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: a long way. It saved a friend ship possibly, like

267
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, like it saved a lot of drama in

268
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: the middle because you up front and that's all you

269
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: can ask. Yeah. Communication is key, man, It's it's the

270
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: key thing to everything. Dog. And if somebody keeps it

271
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: real with you from jump and there are no surprises,

272
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna handle it a lot better. I mean,

273
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: you knew what it was. You might not like it,

274
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: but it's like you gotta revert back to, Okay, this

275
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: is what he said it was gonna be. And it's

276
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: it's amazing too when you, you know, hear all the

277
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: stories about how how many parents and people go through

278
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: those issues with coaches and how many people have that

279
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: situation where they were promised something that didn't happen. But

280
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: but staying on that topic, sort of the you know,

281
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: the grassroots dynamics and drama of the high school era,

282
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: how do you think, Yeah, you're out here in l A.

283
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: We have a couple of high profile programs. Some of

284
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: the players on those programs are pretty high profile on

285
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: their own right, millions of followers on social media, you know,

286
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: big time type guys. How do you think this generation

287
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: of Southern California Hoopers handles all the attention, the fact

288
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: that these guys are now signing n I L deals

289
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: in high school. You got guys you know, beats by

290
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: Dre and Lebron's son and you know these guys out

291
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: here Sierra Canyon and all that. How do you think

292
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: this the generation, the mindset today of this generation handles

293
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: all of what we would have considered extras back in

294
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: the day. I mean, I think they do a pretty

295
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: good job as a whole. You know, there's some that

296
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: are a little more loose than others. It's just hard, like,

297
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, we probably would all you know, I'll tell

298
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: people I said, I probably would be tripping out a

299
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Who going through that myself getting some of that,

300
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: like all the extras that these kids have come in

301
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: their way, um because of their talent, you know. And

302
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: I think it's just I think the ones that deal

303
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: with the best are the ones that have people around

304
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: them that are helped be able to help them filter

305
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: what's real and what's not and at the same time

306
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: stay level headed. And I'm starting to feel like this

307
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: generation is was born to be able to handle extras

308
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: better than us. When you think about my kids, you know,

309
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: they had iPhones when they were five, six years old,

310
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: seven years old, so they've been technology based from jump.

311
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: So I can't sit there with my old school thinking,

312
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: you know, hey, get off your phone. You know, don't

313
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: be looking at your phone before practice. No, I mean,

314
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: if he's gonna look at his phone, it's fine because

315
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't take him out of his lock in. Because

316
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: that is who they are. I think you find in

317
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: our culture you got the old heads versus young heads.

318
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: You got the kind of the old way of doing it,

319
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: and these old sort of ideologies about basketball. I think

320
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: it's time to start to put things into context and

321
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: accept the generation for who they are and understand that

322
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: they can't do it like us and we couldn't have

323
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: did it like them. No, that's true. You're exactly right.

324
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: You know, you're exactly right. You know, some old heads

325
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be stuck in their ways. I think the

326
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: old head problem is when you know you're caught up

327
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: in the extras, so to speak, and then the game

328
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: isn't the game isn't matching up with the extras. You know,

329
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: that really irks a lot of old heads. Like a

330
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: lot of old heads like that are that understand both sides.

331
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: They're like, I get it, because they had some extras

332
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: to them too. It was just different extras back in

333
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: the day. It wasn't like they gonna know extras. That

334
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: extra just changed. So it's like, Okay, the extras are shot.

335
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: We're talking about your extras more than your game. You know.

336
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: That's when the old heads get beefy. Okay, So now

337
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: you're not really you're out there like you don't really

338
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: love the game. You know, it's like the old like

339
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Robin who was more extra than Robman. She knew when

340
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: the game, when the game hit. You know, he was

341
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: twenty rebounds and he was hard, he was playing defense,

342
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: the whole nine. A lot of these dudes they get

343
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: they get the fame or whatever, and then it's just extras.

344
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: They just ain't not looking the same. And then it's like, Okay,

345
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: that's that. That's where the disconnect is, Like, come on now.

346
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

347
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports

348
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app

349
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. Yeah, no, it's

350
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: a disconnect. But I also think that overwhelmingly old heads

351
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: have I guess I call it jealousy envy towards the

352
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: younger generation because you know, of the attention and the

353
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: level of ease, it seems like things are given and

354
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: handed and and then that might not be the case.

355
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: It's like we act like these kids, old heads act

356
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: like these kids aren't working hard. I'm busting their ass,

357
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: didn't have the same goals. I'm getting up at five,

358
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: and some of them are getting up at five. And

359
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: the more you know they're doing the same thing. They

360
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: just got cell phones and gets on social media. Now

361
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: they get old hands just want their flowers. That's it.

362
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: They just want the pay. They just want to hear

363
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: the the young hand saying name, you know, you paved

364
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: the way first to get this big bag. Hey, even

365
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: if you don't need it, just say what I'm saying.

366
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: They just want their respect, that said, because the money,

367
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: the money is so much different now and so you know,

368
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: like you looked up and you're like, man, I was

369
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: so much better than what we're seeing now. And so

370
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: they're like, man, like, we we paved the way for

371
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: y'all to get this money. And so when they feel

372
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: like they're not respected, that's why you see like, um,

373
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: so many of the young dudes love Bubba Chuck Irish

374
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: and so much because Irish and so so much love

375
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: to the to this generation of Hooper like he always

376
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: just so loved to where you see Oakley get on

377
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: the on the podcast and he like, your honest is

378
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: a weak Let's touch on that. Let's touch on that.

379
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: So Oakley said, you're honest if you honest played back

380
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties. In that era, he'd be

381
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: a role player, a bench guy. He wouldn't be m

382
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: v P A are Now, I have a thought process

383
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: behind it, and I want you to hear me out.

384
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: Oakley is talking about the physicality of the game now.

385
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: When whatever we discussed physical and skill, the conversation always

386
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: gets um murky. I would call it murky because people

387
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: don't want to ever acknowledge or address the actual consequences

388
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: and effects of physical play of eighties, nineties physical player Clint. Nowadays,

389
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: it's it's refs, it's people, it's video reviews, it's all

390
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: types of stuff that you cannot do that you're gonna

391
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: be busted with. And this is a valid point. There

392
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: was a time, believe it or not. This is to

393
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: the audience, the younger members of the audience. There was

394
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: a time when basketball was played by guys that was

395
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: trying to hurt you, the guys that would go out

396
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: and do things purposely to hurt you, and there really

397
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: wasn't much you could do about it but try to

398
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: finish the game in fear. This is what Oakley is

399
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: referring to. He's challenging the man of Johannest. He's saying

400
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: Joannice as a man, as the kid that grew up

401
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: in Greece selling them on the street, it's not tough

402
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: enough to handle the eighties and nineties, Clint, I want

403
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that. You see what Jannest looks like

404
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: right now, Joannice is going straight down to the block

405
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: and he's doing the same thing that he's doing now.

406
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: Like Isaiah Thomas said, Okay, you're gonna foul like, You're

407
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna foul him really hard. You're gonna hit him. Okay,

408
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: now what else are you gonna do? But what how

409
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: do how do we know what happens after he gets fouled?

410
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: Is he gonna respond to Oakley the same way he's

411
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: responding to these dudes nowadays, Maxi Klobler and all these dudes.

412
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: Is are you gonna respond? I mean? Is that? I

413
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: think that's That's That's my point. Clint Oakley is is

414
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: banking all his whole statement on the fact that he

415
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: him and his dudes back then are going to punk Janice.

416
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: They're going to punk him, not they might punk him

417
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: a bit like when he first gets into the league,

418
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: like it might have been like he might struggle. That's

419
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: what I said. This development that he's shown over time,

420
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: same same way, same way up and you're going to

421
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: r those puppies and they're not gonna be working like that.

422
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: That's so I think. So I made that little so

423
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: I said that whole thing to say. I still believe

424
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: even regardless of getting punk anything, Yannest will be like

425
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: a twenty six twenty seven and like an eight seventeen

426
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: eighteen guy. I feel like Janice was built for the

427
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties. His bird, his style, his bruising, just linebacker,

428
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm going through you style and then eating glass in

429
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: a in an era where you know, rebounds were a

430
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: lot higher because of the nature of the game, I

431
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: think that he would have dominated. Uh. To be quite frank,

432
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: but you make a great point. He would have got

433
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: used to just like we remember we saw Janice when

434
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: he first got into the league. He was a little

435
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, fresh faced and wide eyed, but then he

436
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: figured it out pretty quickly. Um. Yeah, that's an interesting deal.

437
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: Moving on to the college game, brother, what do you

438
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: think about the transfer pop portal and what it's done

439
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: to college recruited is the high gool senior now irrelevant

440
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: or what. Um, the high school senior that's special is

441
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: never gonna go out of style as we know, and

442
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: it goes back to the tears. The high school senior

443
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: that's like on the on the cusp of maybe getting

444
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: a deal, he they're they're kind of like phasing away

445
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: from him because they're like, oh, we could go we

446
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: could go to the portal and use that scholarship. Yep.

447
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: So with the portal, so what the portal has brought

448
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: on like a whole new issue for high school kids

449
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: because now it's like coaches are um, coaches are under

450
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: pressure to win. Now obviously there's not really time for development.

451
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: So if you if you got if your administrations on you,

452
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: on you, on you, you're going for the kid that's

453
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: two over the kid that's seventeen eighteen. You hear NonStop,

454
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: what's the key to college basketball? Get old, stay old,

455
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: you know. And so therefore it's like if you're being

456
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: in seventeen eight better be special. Obviously your chat home grins,

457
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: you're Jabari Smith's, you're Paula bank Caro's like those three

458
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: freshmen like right there, like that you hear about all

459
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: season like they're going to go go in and play

460
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: wherever they go. Yeah, but that's not the case for

461
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: every freshman, you know, and there's a there's a learning curve,

462
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: and then some coaches don't like playing freshman. So the

463
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: portal is like, Okay, let's go get somebody who's been

464
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: in college three years. He might want to move up

465
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: or he might want to move down, or whatever it

466
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: may be. And now it's like the young guy, Okay, well,

467
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: we don't got time for you right now. We we

468
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: gotta win my a d sais I gotta win now

469
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: or I'm losing my job. So I'm gonna trust a

470
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: dude who's older, who's more season. So it's hard for

471
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: the high school senior right now. It's it's stressful for

472
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: some good high school seniors too. And I don't necessarily

473
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 1: agree with it because I've said it's over and over again.

474
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: That portal. That portal is getting a lot of coaches

475
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: in trouble too, because a lot of these guys are

476
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: leaving bouncing around three school rules and it's like you've

477
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: been averaged to've been below average at every stop, like

478
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: just because you're in the portal, everything that glitters is

479
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: in gold. I say, all the time. There's a lot

480
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: of bad goods in that portal buyer beware. So so

481
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: I would think that when you trickle, it trickles down

482
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: now to the guys back in the like back in

483
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: my day, Like you know, I got a scholarship to

484
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: main folks got a scholarship on our Crunshaw team. We're

485
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: basically the top two players, but then four other guys

486
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: got scholarships too. We probably won't see those days unless

487
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: everybody's just super raw or at a prep school type

488
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: situation where a regular high school, like you know, a

489
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: regular high school, Sarah, can you have to be an

490
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: elite level high school, but you won't see the days

491
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: of of guys getting those scholarships that if you weren't

492
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: the man on your team because of I guess the

493
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: the super senior or the top now being kind of

494
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: rendered irrelevant because of the coaching preference. That that's that's

495
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: kind of a an interesting deal kind of crushes your

496
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, I remember, you know when you when you

497
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: went to high school, you know, you had these dreams

498
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: and aspirations to going D one. D one was everything

499
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: and D or D two or D three or college

500
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: basketball was everything, and now it sounds like a lot

501
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: of guys won't get that opportunity. When do you think,

502
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: at what moment do you think like this emphasis shifted?

503
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean because even before the transfer portal became a thing,

504
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: coaches were already kind of leaning towards getting older. As

505
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: it was, coaches don't want to develop. Development takes time.

506
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: You're trying to get somebody better. You're saying, Okay, he's here,

507
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: but I can take him here. So in between all

508
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: the work you gotta do, you gotta have managers that

509
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: are dedicated. You gotta have because you because you have

510
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: an hour limit on how much you can work with guys.

511
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: So Eric Musselman is kind of like mastered it. He

512
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: goes out and he gets like high high level and

513
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: grad assistance man edgers, guys that can be on the

514
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: floor unlimited with the players. And so they're they're basically

515
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: your eyes and ears, working your guys out, getting your

516
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: guys better, pounding them every day. Boom boom boom. This

517
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: is what you need to be working on. And so

518
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: to develop, if you're at a major, or you're say

519
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: you're at a low major like now, you're trying to

520
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: you develop a guy and now that now the high

521
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: major is just gonna come in and cherry pick and say, oh,

522
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: we want you now. We didn't want you in high school.

523
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: You were a week, but you're a later, you're good now,

524
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: you're good now. So yet we're rocking with you, and

525
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people will fall for that. Yeah. Who

526
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: do you think are some of the best outside of

527
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: Muscliman in Arkansas? Some of the best development programs in

528
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: college basketball? In college basketball, dang, best development programs? Would

529
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: you consider Kentucky? Would you consider Kentucky a good development program?

530
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: When Kenny Payne was there, I would What about Duke Duke?

531
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they're guys, They're go get better. I mean,

532
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean their guys get better, like their guys get better.

533
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: I'm not a dude guy, but they get better. I

534
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: think I think, Uh, what do you think about Kansas

535
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 1: as a development program? I mean it's I liked it

536
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: when I mean Danny Manning was there, like all the posts,

537
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: all the three fours, the footwork was going crazy, the

538
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: Morris Twins, all those dudes. You know, over the years,

539
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, some of these people forget how important it

540
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: is to have high level assistant coaches right, you know,

541
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: you see there's good development in the Mountain West, looking

542
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: at like what's going on at like Wyoming my old school, obviously,

543
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: like coach Lenders done a good job. San Diego State,

544
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: Fisher and desher have done a good job over the years.

545
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: Colorado State Nico med bed Leon Rice. That's the conference

546
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: I'm really familiar with and I follow a lot. So

547
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, there's no there's good schools in the Pact,

548
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: So there's good schools everywhere. It's just understanding. I always say, like,

549
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: you really got to do your homework. All the answers

550
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: to the tests are out there. You just gotta really

551
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: lock in and study it. Yeah, kind of ask questions,

552
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: do your own research, start trying to figure some things out.

553
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: Go to practices. I like to go to practices. Okay,

554
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: what are we working on? And I'm not just going

555
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: to one practice, And I like pulling up unannounced because

556
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: you already know I'm coming for weeks or days at

557
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: a time. You're gonna dress it up nice. You're gonna

558
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: dress it up nice. Like, no, I don't want to

559
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: know what it looks like on a daily basis in here. Yeah, Washington,

560
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: like you've been there, three or four years, like I

561
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: don't want to just hear. Oh the kid don't want it.

562
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: You don't want it, he don't. Nah, this is your job.

563
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: You signed him. Your job is to get him better.

564
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: He don't want it, not good enough? Like, no, you

565
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: gotta get him better. And so guys that have been three,

566
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: three years, four years at a place and haven't improved,

567
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: like that's never a good. Look. What what do you

568
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: think is the most I guess successful methods when it

569
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: comes to getting a guy better on the collegiate level.

570
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: Is it emphasis on shooting? Is it an emphasis on conditioning?

571
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: Is an emphasis on ball handling? I mean, what do

572
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: you think is the most important skill set for a

573
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: guy to improve upon? And again it depends on who

574
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: you are, but just universally speaking, yeah, talk to me.

575
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: Starts with the jader, Yes, sir, It starts with it

576
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: like that opens up everything, and it's really like it's

577
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: like a it's like a it's um the Santonio spurs

578
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: you should use. They probably still do, but it's like

579
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: daily vitamins, like you gotta take them every day. Yeah,

580
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 1: and they got every day for them to work. So

581
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: it's like that, like the approach with like skill development. Okay,

582
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: twenty minutes before practice, thirty minutes before practice on the floor,

583
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: thirty minutes after. Now that that you come back thirty minutes,

584
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: forty five minutes at night. You're there before practice, after

585
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: practice twenty minutes. Now you've got forty minutes of working individually.

586
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: You stack that up five days, six days, Like you

587
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: keep doing that, doing that, doing that, like you're gonna

588
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: see the progression over time. I always tell my guys, please,

589
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 1: don't be the guy who shows that right before practice,

590
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: running the antieing issues and rushing on the court right

591
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: before the huddle starts, and don't be the guy who's

592
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: sprinting to the door right when the practice ends. Oh

593
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm out, Like, don't be the don't don't be that person.

594
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of players that are like that,

595
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of coaches that are like that.

596
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: And when you're like that, you're really gonna have a

597
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: hard time improving the way you want to improve or

598
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: the way your people might want you to improve. So

599
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm always I'm always on track record. I'm always on

600
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: track record. How are you talking? Like? Are you giving

Speaker 1: a huge development program. Like no, stop, we're big on

608
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: being in the gym. Yeah we're not like stop stop, Like, no,

609
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you guys. Haven't seen one player coming

610
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: and lead completely different. Haven't seen you guys taken no

611
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: star or or lowly rated player and put them on

612
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: the NBA, on the on BA NBA draft radar. Haven't

613
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: seen any of that, Like I need to see that, bro.

614
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, we're saying the kids, I'm thinking this

615
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: kid's NBA, like what are your what are your credentials?

616
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: Like who have you developed and brought up for me

617
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: to be like okay, like he's done this and some people,

618
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, the guys like just like when I started,

619
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: people took a chance on me and you have given

620
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: me an opportunity. You know. So there's some guys that

621
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: are like hungry and motivated, and you know they're really

622
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna be in there, you know, like pushing the kid,

623
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: getting him in the gym, you know, making sure he's

624
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: getting his work in the morning, making sure he's in shape,

625
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and so you have some of that,

626
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: but you gotta, man, you gotta love the gym coaches players. Yeah,

627
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: you do both on both sides of the spectrum, on

628
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: the coach and the and the players side. I remember

629
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: being at U C. L A and then in the

630
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: mid nineties part of that program, and LaRenzo Romar was

631
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: our development guy along with Mark Gotfreed. So they were

632
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: the guys that be playing one on one with us

633
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: before practice. Then they'd be the the scout team during practice,

634
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: and then we'd get three on three and other knockout

635
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: situations after practice. So this is and you're talking about

636
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: two guys. I think Godfreed got Freed. You know, he

637
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: was really good at Alabama, so he shoot, he could

638
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: shoot it. Lazo Rollmar play in the league, lefty point guard,

639
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Bouncy at the time, still banging out. You know, it

640
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: was like it was it was, it was, it was.

641
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: It was a situation going on, but the reality was

642
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: plant we we when you have a coach that loves

643
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: the gym in college as much as as you should.

644
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: You have no choice but to get your ass into

645
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: the gym. You have no choice because you know coach

646
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: Romar is gonna be there and if you don't show up,

647
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: it's like you're looking bad now. And you know it's

648
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: it's speaking to your work ethic, to your dedication. This

649
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: is back in the day where you know you didn't

650
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: want to have coaches. MJ's like what's good? Like why

651
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: not getting no burn? Man? You know how the result

652
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: like Zoe come on like this, what's going on in

653
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: the gym? So it's like, Okay, he's working, he's getting better.

654
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's easier you came back

655
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: in great shape. Is like that type of stuff. Yeah,

656
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: and that's what it takes. I mean, that's what it

657
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: takes to make that jump. But Clint, before college, right

658
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: when you're recruited and you're thinking about the school and

659
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 1: we want to talk about a fit for school, how

660
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: does one sort of discern or figure out a fit?

661
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: Me personally, I'll just give you quick on my experience.

662
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: I had a few schools, Washington State and Kelvin Sampson

663
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: Arizona State and Bill Freeder Utah. Rick mcgari's coach K

664
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: and Duke wanted me to come through and walk on,

665
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: and I had Cornell and U c l A were

666
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: like my six opportunities that I was legitimately looking at,

667
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: and I wasn't thinking fit back then. I was thinking legacy,

668
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: play my dad with the U c l A. It's

669
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: U c l A is right in the backyard, etcetera, etcetera.

670
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: So I wanted to talk to you though, just from

671
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: a different lens, in a different perspective. How do you

672
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: view a fit for a perspective, the right fit for

673
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: a prospective ball player going into college. What level? It's

674
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: hard to always starts the saying what level are you? Okay,

675
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: so we're you're City Section player of the year, right, yeah,

676
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: oh we have to be playing day one. You have

677
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: to be playing day one, Like we just had to

678
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: be yeah, like city actual player of the year. Like

679
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: that's like, like, especially at that time, that's like, okay,

680
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: you're you're to the league. Like he's gonna be to

681
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: the league eventually, so we gotta be on the floor.

682
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: And so my biggest thing you probably seen me tweet

683
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: about it all the time. I kind of said jokingly,

684
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: but it's like roster evaluation one on one, like I'm

685
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: really breaking the roster down my ego. My egos always

686
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: to the side. And I tell people this. When Jaden

687
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: was coming out, McDaniels um Cali Perry was recruiting him, right,

688
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: and that was when I started like I talked to

689
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: start talking to coach cal and stuff, and he like

690
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: he's like such a like he'll kind of like deebo

691
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: you and making you feel like if you don't come here,

692
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: well you don't want to compete, you're scared to compete,

693
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: like you have no competitive juices in you. This is

694
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: the place for you anyway. And so you got your

695
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: ego and your pride in the way, you'll be like, man,

696
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: you trying to make me feel like a second like

697
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: I'm I'm afraid to bump when it's like, no, it's

698
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: not about that. Because you're a pro. You're trying to

699
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: get to the league, So what is the best situation

700
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: for you to get there? And nine times had it's

701
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: in a lot of people don't want to keep it

702
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: all the way funky, but it's what is the best

703
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: situation for you to get to the league and where

704
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: can you go to get there as fast as possible.

705
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: That's just being real, Like if you've got one and

706
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: done talent, you're trying to be one of day. You're

707
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: not trying to be too and done. You feel like

708
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: you're a one and done dude. And so you gotta

709
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: look at the roster. You gotta see who's there, who's

710
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: coming back. Who ahead of you was told they were

711
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: gonna play and had the city year and now that

712
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: now things may have cleared up a little bit, and

713
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: so now they're thinking, Okay, now this is my year

714
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: to play. And so for you to jump all those guys,

715
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be Paulo ban Caro chat matter.

716
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who they have, who they bring it,

717
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: who else is coming Like you're playing. You're playing and

718
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. And that's like, okay, being

719
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: real about where you are as a player. But looking

720
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: at the roster, you know what I'm saying, do they

721
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: have a need for me, like a real real need

722
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: or they just want me they this is the roster,

723
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: tell me they need me. You know what I'm saying.

724
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: The roster will tell you they need you. You're a

725
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: point guard. No point guards in the roster. You know

726
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You're coming in program has point guard

727
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: play has been shaky, you know, like okay, the coach

728
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: needs a PG, like really bad. Okay. You know you're

729
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: somebody who can start. You know, coaches like your your

730
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: game and your resume says that there's two or three

731
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: point guards in the roster and you're walking in and

732
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: telling yourself, now, I'm different. Time. Don't use that word

733
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm different. No, dude, before you say he was different

734
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: too when he had to sit on that bench for

735
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: one two years, when someone when there was multiple situations

736
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: where he could have walked in and just got to

737
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: the money. Yeah, Now, it's a process, man, And you

738
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: really gotta have people in your ear that know what

739
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: the hell they're talking about too. I think that's big.

740
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: That's a big issue today with a lot of these

741
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: at these ball players and stuff, is that the people

742
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: that surround them typically don't know what they're talking about,

743
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of bad advice. And most dangerous

744
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: person is someone that doesn't know basketball but thinks they

745
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: know basketball. Who that's a scary situation where they just

746
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: treated a long time ago. Be careful who you learned

00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: multiple players have been there at your position already, the

759
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: coach is gonna go with who he's comfortable with. And

760
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: then if he goes with you and you're not playing

761
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: well and there's so many players like at your position

762
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: like that, they feel like, Okay, well, we gotta move

763
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: off this dude. We gave him his shot. We gotta

764
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: go play the next dude to where here that big

765
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: fish in a small pond. Usually, you know what I'm saying.

766
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: I always tell people I'm giving them the game right now.

767
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: I like, especially when you're talented. It was like Tony

768
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: Snell in Mexico. He was inconsistent. But you can't go

769
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: get another Tony Snill in Mexico. So you gotta ride

770
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: with him through everything until he figures it all the

771
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: way out. But if he goes to Texas or some

772
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: of the other schools that are recruiting him that are

773
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: big time schools, you get your shot. Your inconsistent Like that, Bro,

774
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: we're off you. We got another MacDonald's America. You're not

775
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: the yeah because you you've seen your champion, the mid

776
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: the low major, the mid majors. Right, You're a champion,

777
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: an absolute champion of these types of schools and programs,

778
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: which is fine. You love seeing the blue bloods lose.

779
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: You love seeing golife you you love seeing alife lose.

780
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: You love it. I noticed that I love the right

781
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: pack twelve too, just not the pack twelve that you like.

782
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this. Stay we're talking to

783
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: fit right, So say you're or you know, top level

784
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: high school kid projected to go pretty high in the draft.

785
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: You decided to pick a college. You go to a

786
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: college that doesn't utilize you the right way. Do you

787
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: stick it out at that college or do you risk

788
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: bouncing although you know you haven't been utilized the right way,

789
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: so your draft stock isn't where it has been. But

790
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: you really don't see or feel like this situation is

791
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: gonna be conduced for you in the future. Do you

792
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: do you stay? Do you suck it up and say, hey,

793
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: I believe myself. We've got some guys leaving. We got

794
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, several seniors in my ahead of mer graduating.

795
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: Do you stay or do you bounce to the league?

796
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: Or do you transfer and spent another year in college

797
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: to show sort of the promise and reach that potential

798
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: that people had to project it as before you spent

799
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: this year. That's a tough decision who because if you leave,

800
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: you gotta go to the right spot you got to

801
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: and if you stay, things have to change. And you

802
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like, how are you playing? How

803
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: is the coach using you? Like? It's tough because if

804
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: you're thinking you're gonna come in and do this and

805
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: it hasn't materialized, so you're gonna be feeling some type

806
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: of way you just are and so you're coming back,

807
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: you gotta let go of that are you gonna be

808
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: able to let go of that. And if you leave, man,

809
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: it has to work. If you leave, you gotta pick

810
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: the right spot. So it's like it's it's fifty fifty.

811
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: It's like, man, you gotta you got you gotta have

812
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: some That's where it comes down to having some hard conversations. Yeah.

813
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: I think there was a time where, you know, players

814
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: like that would have stuck it out, would have stayed. Hey,

815
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: you started, finish what you started, you know. I think

816
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: that this time of basketball life that that that doesn't

817
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: happen anymore. Players are ready to bounce, players just ready

818
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: to capitalize on the next situation that gets them going

819
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. There's no reason to toil and

820
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: some bullsh crap that isn't conducive to your game or

821
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: highlighting your game. So yeah, yeah, no, I get that.

822
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: That's all. That's all. You just you just gotta I mean,

823
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: just like you said, you gotta be surrounded by people

824
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: that know the game, know the landscape. Um have real

825
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: relationships with assistant coaches, the head coaches, you know, have

826
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: real trust. Let's touch on that for a second. What

827
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: we talked about the relationships with the coaches and I

828
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: think it was you that tweeted out the other day, Uh,

829
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: find you an assistant coach that talks speaks up on

830
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: you to the head coaching. Oh, I said, some assistant

831
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: coaches will only for you and meetings if they recruited you.

832
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: And Jay Hart's said, man, that's why you can't send

833
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 1: your kids to Buster, And it was like, I agree,

834
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: I usually don't fall into that. I don't, I don't.

835
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't usually have that problem because I am like

836
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: select them on who I would like to rock with

837
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: for that those reasons. But there is true you know,

838
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: um some coaches only right, there's a lot of programs

839
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: that have staffs that are my guy, So like, I'm

840
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: only riding for my guy who I recruited because I

841
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: gotta go back to that same a you program and

842
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: answered the call, so like I'm only you know what

843
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean. And so when you have that on some staffs,

844
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: then it could get tricky. So to be so to

845
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: be clear, this allegiance to players now it becomes based

846
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: on the pipeline, right, the lifeblood of this is particular

847
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: system coaches job because he had a plug with say

848
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: DC Assault, and so if he didn't he didn't. This

849
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: one guy is coming from DC assault and if he

850
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: doesn't treat a DC assault guy right, he never getting

851
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: another dude. And they got some seven's that are off

852
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: the chain. And so is that how it goes? Clint?

853
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: I need to and I'm I'm an independent guy. And

854
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: so it's like, you know, like, oh, we don't got

855
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: no loyalty to him. You gotta have your sweet spot,

856
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: your program are you really rock with and you gotta

857
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: like you go, you go, you gotta you you gotta

858
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: maintain that and keep them closed. That's what that comes

859
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: down to. Like, as an independent guy, I'm not sending

860
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: no player. I'm not like I'm not sending no player

861
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: to a school that has an AU coach on the

862
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: staff or has multiple players from the AU program. That's

863
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: just that's just not smart. So you really look at

864
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: it that way. So when you're talking when you mentioned

865
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: roster breakdown, because this is gonna be a very informative

866
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: segment on the show, you're talking about not only who

867
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: this guy is, how you played last year, etcetera. You're

868
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: going back to a a U. You want to know

869
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: who is this dude affiliated with on staff and the publicy,

870
00:45:54,080 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. It's deeper than rap. Hey,

871
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: it is like I'm not getting I'm not getting caught

872
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: up in that because someone they got to go back

873
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: to some they got multiple players that they've had multiple

874
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: players in the past in certain places that you knew,

875
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: you know what, you know what it is like. I

876
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: like to feel like I've had a lot of success

877
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: with guys at San Diego State, and so if I

878
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: have a guy that's a like a dude along the

879
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: lines of Kauai and Jamal and Jalen McDaniels, like, you know,

880
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: like they're gonna that's like, that's a that's a good spot.

881
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: Like we've had prior success and I got good relationship

882
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: with the coaches, and so that's how the game works,

883
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: you know. And that's just the game is the game, man,

884
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: and the sooner that you're real with yourself about how

885
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: this thing goes, um you could you could probably like

886
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: to say, save a basketball life. I think that people

887
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: in general don't really kind of grasp or digest or

888
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: even think that far except the really high level, elite

889
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: kind of basketball hoop heads. And they're all around there,

890
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: any of them, and they know but like to the

891
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: regular you know, like say, for instance, people listening to

892
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: this show there, they typically won't have that type of

893
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: idea that that's how things work where that's Those are

894
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: factors that they should consider if they had a child

895
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: that was looking to go and play on the next level.

896
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: kJ Everything on the table, bro, Yeah, everything in the meetings,

897
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: the conversations before you know, the commitment takes place, and

898
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: the kids like, Okay, this is where I'm going. Like

899
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: all the hard questions gotta be answered, gotta be asked. Yeah,

900
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, That's why it goes back to honesty at

901
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: the front door, because now you know there are some

902
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: people that are watching this show. People know me on

903
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: from Twitter, people know me in the basketball world. Some

904
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: people love me, some people don't like me. I'm out spoken,

905
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm opinionated. I don't like something, I'm gonna speak on it.

906
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: But I tell people, we get to school, we're gonna

907
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: act right, We're gonna go to class, and we're gonna

908
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: work hard because they're gonna first and foremost. I'm not

909
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: writing for nothing, just to be writing for something like

910
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: you're lazy, you're not doing you gotta do your part.

911
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: There's accountability on all ends. We can't wait, what is this?

912
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: What is this? We're not we're not doing the dictatorship.

913
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold the kid accountable. Nobody's gonna hold me accountable.

914
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: Come on now, we're not doing that. Accountability is it's

915
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: all the way around, you know. And so that's where

916
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 1: that's where a lot of this, you know, you see

917
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: it sucks because you see a lot of kids that

918
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, you don't take some of these stuff. We're

919
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: talking to a consideration, and then you get to a

920
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: school and it's like you feel like you were let on,

921
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, and this is serious, because this is like people,

922
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: this ain't no, this ain't no game basket, everybody, it's

923
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: just a game. No, no, no, it ain't no no no.

924
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: I'd just seen with that roundball and did for multiple players,

925
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: and I've seen with the round ball up close, did

926
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: for Kawhi Leonard. Generations and generations have changed in his

927
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: family because it is round ball, Tony Snail. Generations and

928
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: generations like he got his family out the hood for real,

929
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: for real, and there's more many kids like him. Jamal Franklin,

930
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 1: like you know, single moms that are out here grinding,

931
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: working multiple jobs to keep the lights on type stuff like, nah,

932
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: this ain't no na there there those parents, their babies

933
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: changed their life forever. Their feet are kicked up, they

934
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: ain't working no more. Seriously, this ain't no game, bro,

935
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: Like what you're talking about? Like you over here lying

936
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: to yourself, like, well you better stop. See how much

937
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: money the Clippers are worth? You know what it's like?

938
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: Come on now, But it's all about being put in

939
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: the situation. And it starts in high school that goes

940
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: to college. You know, like you were like you coached

941
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: on the j b A, like you were out close

942
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: with the whole the ball situation. You've been rocking with

943
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: the balls forever, you know what I mean. There's a

944
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: lot of people have different opinions of LaVar and hit

945
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: the way he you know, I always say everyone everyone

946
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: can't be LaVar because everyone don't got LaMelo Alonso and

947
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: Jello number one. But if you like, if you just

948
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: take some things away from how he did coach his

949
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: kids and how he raised them as basketball players, like

950
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: like we got to see that part obviously, Like the

951
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: most important thing he did with LaMelo was he always

952
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: protected his mental Yah. You know, he never let nobody

953
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: best with his mental and now you see that. Now,

954
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: now you see and this is what you're getting. Remember

955
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: when everybody was like the shot selection is, we can't

956
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: be doing that, Like he can't be shooting all he

957
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: can't be shooting those D threes and he's playing so

958
00:50:56,120 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: free like he's to tighten up. Okay, tighten up, second

959
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: year All Star game, tighten that up. When his dad

960
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: was not rolling for no funnies. None, dad was not

961
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: rolling for no funnies like he he basically pulled him

962
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: out of school as a junior because he was like, no,

963
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: not rolling with how the coach is trying to coach

964
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,799

966
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: stood on that. And it's that confidence, man, when you

967
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: have when you have somebody that's talented, that's skilled, and
