I'm 8 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: so excited to have you. 9 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: Appreciate you having me, of course. 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's get right into it. So I'm not 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 2: sure if you know, but I am seventeen years old. 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: I'm a junior in high school, which you know is 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 2: a little bit different than I'm sure most of the 14 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: people who usually interview you. So I like to start 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: off my episodes by getting to know what you were 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: like at seventeen. So to start off, like, did you 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: know you were going to make it to the league 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: at seventeen? Were you good at basketball at seventeen, because 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: not all NBA players were, I'm curious to hear a 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: little bit about that. 21 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, when I was seventeen, I was like super skinny, 22 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: so I didn't really think, you know, I was gonna 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: make it to the NBA. I always had like dreams 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: of making it. My parents always told me, like, you 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: have to get bigger, you have to get stronger. I 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: would say, I did think I was gonna make it, 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: but I didn't know how serious I was about the 28 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: game at that time. I was always good. But it's 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: always the smallest kid on the course. 30 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, I feel like there's a lot of stories 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: like that where players don't believe they're gonna make it 32 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: because critics tell them, oh, you're too small. But then 33 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: I mean, Steph's the perfect example of what can. 34 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: Happen when you're too small, you know exactly. 35 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: Anyway, So you've been around the league your whole life. 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: What do you most remember about growing up around the 37 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: league and what's like your first NBA memory that you've 38 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: ever had. 39 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: I would just say just like being around like All 40 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: Star events. You know, my dad always like went back 41 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: in All Star after he retired, So like just seeing 42 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: a lot of those players like throughout the year years 43 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: at All Star and then you know, some of those 44 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: guys like even not being in the league, I still 45 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: see them around. When I was like a kid, I 46 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: would see them, so like, I feel like that was 47 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: my first eyes into the NBA. 48 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: Do you think it benefited you growing up having relationships 49 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: with NBA players to make it to where you are now? 50 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: Like? Did they help me make it to the NBA? 51 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: You're saying more so just make the chain. 52 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: Not in that way, But I think do you think 53 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: it made you more motivated or sort of helped you 54 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 2: understand the game better, helped you train harder, stuff like that. 55 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think maybe a little bit of both. I 56 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: feel like, because some people in my position could be 57 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: like too relaxed. Maybe I would say, like, because like 58 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: I had a guy in the NBA from my family 59 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: and my dad, I could be maybe a little two relaxed, 60 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: just thinking it's easier to make it than what it 61 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: really is. But I would say, of course, like having 62 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: someone that's been through the grind, been through the journey, 63 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: just having that in your back pocket of someone that 64 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: can give you information always helps. 65 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. So you were born in Portland, right, Yeah? Okay, 66 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: and then you went to high school in LA and 67 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: in Florida. What was her NBA team growing up? 68 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: I actually grew up in Chicago, like I was born 69 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: in Portland, but like wanted to when I moved out 70 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: and moved to Chicago. So I was a Bulls fan 71 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: growing up pretty much in all life, you know, watching 72 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: d Rose and my dad he kind of worked for 73 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: the team. So that's another like that's when I started 74 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: first started watching the NBA. Was like going to Bulls 75 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: games and stuff like that as a kid. 76 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: Gotcha Okay? And then you just mentioned Derek Rose. Was 77 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: he your favorite player growing up or was it someone else? 78 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: I would say him, Man with Kobe. I like Kobe 79 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: a lot too. Him and my dad were super cool, 80 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: Like he would always hit my dad of for information. 81 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: So I was a Kobe fan and then just being 82 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 1: a bullstand. I was always a Derek ros fan because 83 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: I was going to post games all the time. 84 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, is there a certain past NBA player that you 85 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: model your game off of? 86 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Like growing up, I was always 87 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: like I was a Kobe fan. So I used to 88 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: always want to be a shooting guard. But my dad 89 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: knew I was going to be sure, so he was like, man, 90 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: you need to play the porn guard. You need to 91 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: play the porn guard. So I was I say, growing up, 92 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: probably this Kobe within life now, don't I don't think 93 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: anyone on the model a game after. 94 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that being your own person for sure. 95 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: So now I want to move into sort of that 96 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: high school era for you. What was your favorite all 97 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: time memory of high school basketball? 98 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: I would say moving to California. My first high schools 99 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: I was in Florida called Pine Crest. It's kind of 100 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: under the radar school, you know, the Thompsy Twins went 101 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: there after I left. But going to Sierra k and 102 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: playing with a lot of highly recruited guys, like guys 103 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: that are known, it just a lot of fun. I 104 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: feel like that kind of put me on the scene 105 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: and just being able to play there, and this one 106 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: Tuesday championship is probably one of my favorite moment playing 107 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: basketball totally. 108 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, Sierra Canyan's obviously a very different high 109 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: school basketball experience compared to most, and you get to 110 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: have some of the most famous people in the world 111 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 2: come watch your games. Who was the person that came 112 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: to watch one of your games at Sierra that you 113 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: were maybe most starstruck about? 114 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: Most starstruck? Yeah, I don't know more star stuff, but 115 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: I'll say the most like odd person or not even 116 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: just different, like be the Irish so I didn't know 117 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: she came. That's so cool, Yeah, Kanye, A couple of 118 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: black people like that, but the Irish because I didn't 119 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: know she's like a basketball fan. 120 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: Yeah. Did that even get to your head? Or you 121 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: just played and like ignored it? 122 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: I just played. I saw it after the game. 123 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: After that set you up. Well, I guess for the 124 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: league that you got to have that experience. So obviously, 125 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: like we were saying, I mean, Sierra Canyon, everyone knows 126 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: is basketball powerhouse, high school basketball powerhouse. This is maybe 127 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: you know, a hard hitting question, but what is your 128 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 2: starting five of all time Sierra Kanyon players? 129 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: I'm not including myself. I'm I including myself. 130 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: Whatever you want. I think you can include yourself, but 131 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: you know you couldn't have you be like the sixth man. 132 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: Maybe if you want to shout out other people. 133 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: I'll do that. I'll pull my point guard. I'll probably 134 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: put Dwayne Washington junior, Yeah, shooting guard. Uh, this is 135 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: I probably got to go Brandon Boston. Three, probably Cashiers, Stanley. 136 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: F. 137 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: K Moreon junior kJ and more In, and then five 138 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: probably got to go more In Badley Man, you're leaving 139 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: out your brother. Yeah, I gotta and win nothing. 140 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair, that's fair. What do you think was 141 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: the biggest difference between high school basketball and A. 142 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like, going to see her kine, 143 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: it was pretty similar. It's because we were so talented. Yeah, 144 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: I would right to say, playing with a bunch of 145 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: super talented guys. I feel like in high school and 146 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: you play on most teams, talent isn't the same as AU. 147 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: But I feel like from my high school team it 148 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: was pretty much the same. And you know, to of 149 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: my teammates from high school I also played AAU with, 150 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: so it was pretty like an easy transition for me. 151 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you notice anything different in the actual style 152 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 2: of play between the two leagues or not? Really? 153 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a little bit more like I sould 154 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more like players trying to get creative. 155 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: I feel like in you know, high school basketball was 156 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: more coached and more like team ran. I would say, So, 157 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: you were in. 158 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: The Mission League, shiriracnyans in the Mission League. I heard 159 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: a rumor once that there could be a reality TV 160 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: show about the Mission League if that were to happen, 161 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: would you be all in? Would you agree that should 162 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: happen because I personally think, like I would watch that 163 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: the Mission League is so special, So. 164 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's dope to have like behind the 165 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: scenes of basketball. Like my two years there, we had 166 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: like a little like reality TV series. I don't know 167 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: how big it was, but like it was cool to 168 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: see like, you know, players behind the scenes. I feel 169 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: like even for like me being a part of it, 170 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: it was cool to like look back and see like 171 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: what we were doing on the road and just like 172 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: the stuff we was fooling around doing. So I think 173 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: that's cool to see like the Mission League and see 174 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: like the players and how they prepare for games and 175 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, how they have fun to outside basketball totally. 176 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. So you went to Vanderbilt, which is not only 177 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: an incredible basketball school, but it's an incredible school school. 178 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: So together you have to have pretty good grades. I'm 179 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: curious how you balance being a student and an athlete. 180 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I always went to like pretty hard schools going up, 181 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: so like academics is always super important for me. And 182 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: like I said, like you know, I wasn't the highest 183 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: recruited for basketball, so yeah, when Vanderbrook came out, was 184 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: my biggest basketball offer, and it was a great academic school, 185 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: so it was a pretty easy decision for me. But 186 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, like you said, it was definitely a hard school, 187 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: so it definitely was hard to balance. So a lot 188 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: of you know, late night trying to study and get 189 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: my work done. 190 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, I get it. I have to do that 191 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: right now, Like right after this, I have to study 192 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: for my biotest. What was your official visit? 193 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: Like my fish visual was great, you know, to see 194 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: in the campus. I thought like Vanda was one of 195 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: the nicest campuses out there, even though it's like it's 196 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: a small school student wise, The coaches were cool, the 197 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: players were all cool. I just sew ride at home. 198 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's being you know, far from California, where 199 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: I was, you know, living at the time. I fell 200 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: home when I was at Vanderbilt. So definitely an easy 201 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: decision for me. 202 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. So this spring break, actually I'm 203 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: going on college tours and I'm going to be touring Vandy, 204 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: which I'm super excited about. I want to know your recommendations, 205 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: give me recommendations, where to eat, where to go all 206 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: of that. 207 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: What do you like to eat? You like like barbecue? 208 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 2: I love barbecue. 209 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like my best favorite version was like 210 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: with a halbachi spot. They head down that actually it's 211 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: called like n Ninky or something. Okay, that was my 212 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: main spot. They got a couple like local spots, little 213 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: stuff around campus, but the food is pretty good. I 214 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: feel like in the SOULI you're always gonna find good 215 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: food spots. Yeah, honestly, I definitely check out the hbachi spot. 216 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: Okay, do you still ever go back there now that 217 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 2: you're in Tennessee or no? 218 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: It's actually like a three and a half hour drive 219 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: or three hour drive. This last this past summer was 220 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: the first time I went back there. I didn't get 221 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: to go back to campus, but I just went back 222 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: to that. I tried to do like a little basketball camp, 223 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: and then our team had training camp out there, so 224 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: I was able to go back into the city. But 225 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully there's something I'm gonna try to do 226 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: like a basketball camp out there, and then like made 227 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: my way around there, but my coaching staff's not out there, 228 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: so I got it a little different now. Yeah, I 229 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: got to reconnect the new coaching staff and stuff like that, 230 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: So hopefully there's someone able to do that. 231 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about all the crazy changes going 232 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: on with the SEC because it's a completely different, you know, 233 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: conference than it was when you played not that long ago. 234 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's pretty crazy. Is like seeing how 235 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: like college basketball has changed with NIL, Like I kind 236 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: of missed that whole way, you know, I kind of 237 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: call like the back end of it. But yeah, I 238 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: think it's crazy to see all the coaches changes, the 239 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: players change in schools and like jump into different conferences. 240 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: But I think it's definitely just great for the game. 241 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting because, like you just said, with NIL, 242 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: your younger brother, Justin, who now goes to Michigan. He 243 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: you guys were only, you know, not that many years apart, 244 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: yet you had completely different high school experiences because he 245 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: could get paid. What do you think your high school experience, 246 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: Like how different do you think it would have been 247 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: would have been if you were able to receive NIL money? 248 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think would have been much different. You know, 249 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm kind of I don't know, I'm glad I didn't 250 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: get paid, but I think it definitely made it easier 251 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: because I feel like when you throw the money in, 252 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: it definitely adds like another variable, like where you want 253 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: to go to school and it kind of changes, like, 254 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: you know, your trajectory. So I feel like for him, 255 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of helped him through the process 256 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: of picking schools and stuff like that, and it was 257 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: definitely challenging for him just because you know, he might 258 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: like a school, but another schools throwing the money at him, 259 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: or you know, the playing time, and there's a bunch 260 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: of different stuff that goes into it. So I'll say 261 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: it definitely complicated for these players. 262 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: No, totally. Yeah, I wouldn't want to go through that. 263 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: It seems very stressful. Yeah, all right, So we heard 264 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: a little bit about you when you were seventeen, you know, 265 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: at Sierra Canyon in Florida, in Chicago, all that. But 266 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: now I want to move on to you. Now, so 267 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: you sort of had an untraditional path to the league, 268 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: you know, going undrafted. What advice would you give to 269 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: younger guys that go undrafted on how to succeed in 270 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: the league. 271 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: I would just say, this is a marathon, it's not 272 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: a race. I feel like a lot of guys are 273 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: in college right now they might just be like, oh, 274 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: I got to get to the NBA. I got to 275 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: get to the NBA and they don't know how long, 276 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: Like this path is during years, Like there's a lot 277 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: of players that you know, I left after three years 278 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: of college, and there was guys that left after one 279 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: year or two years, and I was like, damn, they're 280 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: going to the NBA. But you look back and are 281 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: out the NBA already after one or two years. So 282 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: I would have said this, this is a marathon. Go 283 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: when you feel ready to, you know, leave college, and 284 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: then you know, just once you get here, you know, 285 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: everyone's pretty much equal. It's not it doesn't matter what 286 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: you were drafted. It doesn't matter. You know, we'll pick 287 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: you up what you did in college. So I just 288 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: know it's a marathon. It's going to be a long 289 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: So just the word going show just continue to put 290 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: into work and you know, just continue to grow as 291 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: a player and you know, find your value in that. 292 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: I love that. So it's not necessarily your hometown team, 293 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: but one of your hometown teams was the first team 294 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 2: that you got to play for. What was that Like, 295 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: I'm sure that was exciting to be able to play 296 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 2: not that far from your high school. 297 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great feeling. You know, that night 298 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: I went undrafted, But like going back to your home. 299 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: It was, you know, even better feeling to be being 300 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: drafted is because I was able to go play home, 301 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: playing in front of my family, my friends, you know, 302 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: and you know, bea up the street from you know 303 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: where I'll play high school at. But it was definitely 304 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: a dream come true. I never even thought it was 305 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: possible to go there because I didn't think feel like 306 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: I had a good workout with the Lakers. But going 307 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: back there definitely was fun. Playing with God like Lebron 308 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: and Ad Like. I was around those guys when I 309 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: was a kid in Westbrook. You know Russ, I was 310 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: around him when I was a kid, just being around 311 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, the game with my dad. So just going 312 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: and playing with those guys after watching them as a kid, 313 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: would just have a dream come true. 314 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you would have told your you know, ten 315 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: year old self that the first NBA team you're going 316 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: to be on, your on the Lakers and playing with Lebron, 317 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: ad Rust all those guys, Like, what would he have thought? 318 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: Now? I wouldn't have believed that. It's like something you 319 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: dream us like. It was such a crazy feeling is 320 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: to be there to see those guys every day. 321 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 2: What was the best story, best experience you had playing 322 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: with bron Adi and Russ. 323 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: I have so many I can't even pinpoint one. I 324 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: can't even I said, it's being on the road, just 325 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: being with those guys and just you know, seeing how 326 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: they approach the game, just because you know, you see 327 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: them on TV and it's like, okay, this and that. 328 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: But then when you get to like be on the 329 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: plane with them and to see how they are as people, 330 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: and it's how cool they are in genuine I feel 331 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: like it was differently definitely cool, totally. 332 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: I couldn't. I would be like shaking every time I 333 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: was talking about there are my teammates. So how do 334 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: you deal with the pressure of being your dad Scottie 335 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: Pippen's son on the court? 336 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: I feel like I just you know, embrace it, you know. 337 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: I feel like the pressure has gone down since I, 338 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, like the further I've win in my career. Yeah, 339 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: just because I just don't even care about it anymore. 340 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: You know, it is what it is. You can't even 341 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: embrace it. You just let it, you know, eat you alive. Yeah, 342 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I think it's been great to have, 343 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: you know, dad that playing the be that you know, 344 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: giving back so much information to me and so much 345 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: time and help me that it always motivated me just 346 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: to you know, make him proud of make it to 347 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: the NBA, you know, succeeded in that. 348 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. So this next question is the question that 349 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 2: I am most excited to ask. So, your dad spells 350 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: his name s c O T t I E. And 351 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: you've spelled your name s c O T T why, 352 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: but you're Scottie Pippen Jr. I'm very confused. Please explain 353 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: what's going on with the different spellings. 354 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: To be honest, I'm still kind of confused on it too. 355 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: It makes no sense while my parents did While my 356 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: parents did that. But basically, my dad's name is with 357 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: a why, but for some reason he writes it with 358 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: an ie on everything, but like his actual like documentary stuffy. Yeah, 359 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: so like, but like he switches it up, like sometimes 360 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: he'll go somewhere he'll like right a why, you know, 361 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: or someone to write abound ie. So I feel like 362 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: I should have probably been with ie since he wants 363 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: to change his Yeah, I'm with a wise look confusing. 364 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: People get it wrong all the time. 365 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely get around. I'm like I'm so used 366 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: to it now it doesn't even matter. But even some 367 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: of my coaches, I feel like last year when I 368 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: got here, they would like put like if I like 369 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: film sessions, like my name would be with an Ie 370 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: and I was like, that's not my name. 371 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: That's so funny. I love that, all right, So what 372 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: was your I made it moment? 373 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I made it. I would just say, get 374 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: on my contract this summer, you know, last year, you know, 375 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: with my second year, with my first year, getting like 376 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: full NBA minutes and stuff like that, and you know, 377 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: I felt good. But I feel like once you put like, 378 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, your pens to the paper and get you know, 379 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: the first contract for that time, you know, not felt 380 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: completely satisfied. But I just felt good and it felt 381 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: like I finally just like made it, made it in 382 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: the NBA. 383 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.

It's always awesome. But I 387 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 2: want to know your best Jah Morant story because I 388 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: feel like Jaw's a player that we see him. The 389 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 2: media portrays him very differently than he actually is. So 390 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: as his teammates, someone who gets to experience him every day, 391 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: what is that like? 392 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: Just crazy?

We have some funny stories, you know, He's 399 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: I feel like the media portrays him in a serial 400 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: way that's you know, not fair to him and not 401 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, truly who he is. But he's definitely a 402 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: great dude. My favorite moment in him, I don't know. 403 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: I had so many funny moment so every day I 404 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: have a plenty more. 405 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: Every day is the new one? 406 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, every day. I can't even pick one. 407 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: I'm curious because, like, as a fan, my reaction to 408 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: the ad Luca trade was obviously my mind was blown. 409 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: But as a player, what was your reaction when you 410 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: saw that? I thought it was a. 411 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: Joke to be honest, yeah, I thought it was a 412 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: joe to you know, all my friends are back in LA. 413 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: So they were like it was like a night before again. 414 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: They were like spamming our group chet like this isn't really, 415 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: this isn't real. I thought it was crazy, to be honest, 416 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was real. I thought, you know, 417 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: Sham's got hacked or something first, but no, I think 418 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: it's you know, definitely crazy. I feel like both teams 419 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: got better, you know, I think Dallas got better because 420 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: they got more size now. But you know, the Lakers 421 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: got better too because they got you know, Lucas. So 422 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't know who got actually, I don't know who 423 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: got better, but I feel like both teams. Both teams 424 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: are good, you know, Lakers moving to the playoffs, so 425 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: it's like there's still a thread and now they got 426 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: a you know, younger player that's going to be a 427 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: threat for years to come. So you know, I feel 428 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: like we'll see you know, on yours to come. 429 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 2: Yeah. So, speaking of all these very competitive teams in 430 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 2: the West, the Grizzlies are currently fourth, so it seems 431 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: like you guys have a pretty comfortable playoff spot. If 432 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: you got to choose the team that you match up 433 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: with first in the playoffs, what team would you choose. 434 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: I feel like that's a danger. 435 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 2: It's a little thing, just because Scotti. I want to know, 436 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: do you think you guys are fine in the West. 437 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 2: Do you think you're fine in the West. 438 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: I can't I can't say that. I can't say that, 439 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: you know, if we feel that we're good in the West, 440 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: but we want to know, we want to I want 441 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: to make sure I don't pick the wrong team. But yeah, 442 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I can't pinpoint a team 443 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: I want to play. You. I feel like that the 444 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: West is so tough. Yeah, all the teams you know, 445 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, we were just sick and that were for Yeah, 446 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: it's so competitive that I don't even know if you 447 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: could pick a team you want to play this because 448 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: how good everyone is and how you know, close to 449 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: competitive everyone is totally. 450 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: I know the West, I don't think. I mean, you know, 451 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: obviously we all know them mean, but I don't think 452 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: anyone's good in the West. I mean, the Warriors were 453 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 2: tenth in the West three days ago, and then the 454 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: next day they were six in the West, and then seventh. 455 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: It's just all moving around so much. It's crazy time 456 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: to be I mean, I'm sure a player but also 457 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: a fan. It's so fun to see. So, you know, 458 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: you and Brownie are obviously both sons of NBA legends. 459 00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 2: You both went to see her canyon. You both made 460 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 2: it the NBA, right, So you're similar in those ways. 461 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 2: And you guys were both in the G League, and 462 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: I feel like people get unnecessary hate for being in 463 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 2: the G League. People don't understand that the G League 464 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 2: is there to help you and it's very much. I mean, 465 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: I feel like your path has been amazing. I don't 466 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: want to take words out of your mouth, but I 467 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 2: feel like since having played in the G League, you've 468 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 2: clearly blossomed into such a great NBA player. What do 469 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: you want? What would you tell the average person who 470 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: doesn't understand the talent level in the G League? 471 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I usually love the G League. I feel there's 472 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: so much talent in there, and it's like so many 473 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: guys that get you know, underlooked or and just undervalued. 474 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: I feel that the league was huge for me just 475 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: to go down there and just play and just show 476 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: what I could do against you know, like super talented guys. Yeah, 477 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: it was one of my most you know, fun times 478 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: playing basketballs because it's kind of like AAU. You know, 479 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: it's like AAU because you're traveling and you're staying in 480 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: hotels that you know, it's different in the NBA. It's nice, 481 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's a way different you know, lifestyle. But 482 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: I just said, the g LE is super competitive and 483 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: super talented. You know. You know a lot of our 484 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: guys on our team now with the Grids, that played 485 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: in the G League.
