So I'm challenging myself to do this 0:01:58.699 --> 0:01:59.979 whole thing and talk about neither. 0:02:00.059 --> 0:02:01.379 Are you ready, Let's do it. 0:02:01.659 --> 0:02:04.299 At Summer League, you told me that upon getting drafted, 0:02:04.299 --> 0:02:07.619 you reached out to some no offense, undersized guards that 0:02:07.699 --> 0:02:08.899 reminded you of yourself. 0:02:09.219 --> 0:02:11.779 Right, tell me how that started, and tell me how it's. 0:02:11.619 --> 0:02:13.859 Going started great and a grade. 0:02:13.899 --> 0:02:16.019 I feel like, oh, it's over. You're not going to 0:02:16.059 --> 0:02:16.979 speak to any of them anymore. 0:02:17.059 --> 0:02:18.419 I mean no, I'll definitely speak to them. 0:02:18.419 --> 0:02:19.779 Okay, I'll probably ask a lot of them for their 0:02:19.819 --> 0:02:23.179 jersey still and we play them. But yeah, just asking 0:02:23.179 --> 0:02:25.139 people who I think I want to look up to, 0:02:25.339 --> 0:02:27.819 want to model my game after, some in some way 0:02:27.859 --> 0:02:29.299 that I've watched them play when I was a kid 0:02:29.459 --> 0:02:33.259 or in college, seeing their film where it's defensively offensively, 0:02:33.699 --> 0:02:37.579 just finding something some insider advice from a place that 0:02:37.579 --> 0:02:40.339 I've never been to to help me in my whole career. 0:02:40.499 --> 0:02:42.219 What's the best piece of advice you got and who 0:02:42.259 --> 0:02:42.739 gave it to you? 0:02:43.019 --> 0:02:44.179 I'll probably say Pat Bev. 0:02:44.459 --> 0:02:46.659 Really, yeah, I just I mean, I think a lot 0:02:46.699 --> 0:02:49.459 of times when they look at me. There's different opinions 0:02:49.459 --> 0:02:51.379 you can have, but his main thing was just like 0:02:52.179 --> 0:02:55.099 be yourself and have fun, and I think that that's 0:02:55.099 --> 0:02:56.659 what I've always tried to live by. So it's kind 0:02:56.659 --> 0:02:58.979 of cool to have somebody kind of validated almost who's 0:02:59.019 --> 0:03:02.339 been there ten years in the league, and it'll carry 0:03:02.339 --> 0:03:03.099 myself a long way. 0:03:03.259 --> 0:03:05.059 I know you reached out to Tyrese Maxey as well. 0:03:05.139 --> 0:03:07.059 Of course, how did that go? And how have the 0:03:07.099 --> 0:03:08.219 workouts with Tyree. 0:03:08.019 --> 0:03:09.059 Spin It's been great. 0:03:09.139 --> 0:03:10.419 Well, he reached out to me right when I got 0:03:10.459 --> 0:03:13.059 drafted and then before Summer League I just wanted some advice, 0:03:13.499 --> 0:03:15.299 and now being able to work out with him and 0:03:15.379 --> 0:03:17.699 just talk to him, meet him, it's I mean, he's 0:03:17.779 --> 0:03:19.899 the biggest blessing I think I could have as a rookie, 0:03:20.139 --> 0:03:24.219 someone who's considered I guess an undersized guard who's played 0:03:24.219 --> 0:03:26.979 as a rookie, had gone through some ups and downs 0:03:27.019 --> 0:03:29.259 like and now he's one of the best guards in 0:03:29.259 --> 0:03:31.739 the league. It's amazing for me to just learn from him, 0:03:31.739 --> 0:03:33.819 and even in the workout, it's just certain things you 0:03:33.859 --> 0:03:36.899 see as a rookie that you want to emulate, whether 0:03:36.939 --> 0:03:39.059 it's just game speed, the way he goes at how 0:03:39.099 --> 0:03:42.099 he talks during his workouts, how he stays so positive, 0:03:42.099 --> 0:03:44.859 which is something I really resonate with. I think all 0:03:44.859 --> 0:03:46.539 those things I'm going to continue to learn from him, 0:03:46.539 --> 0:03:48.699 and it's just great to have a first hand experience 0:03:48.699 --> 0:03:48.979 with him. 0:03:49.219 --> 0:03:51.099 In our first interview together, you said that you wanted 0:03:51.139 --> 0:03:52.939 to go toe to toe with him for hardest worker. 0:03:53.019 --> 0:03:54.539 This morning, you were the first in the gym. 0:03:55.899 --> 0:03:56.539 Yeah, I don't know. 0:03:56.539 --> 0:03:58.179 I'm not saying I don't know where he's at right now. 0:03:58.219 --> 0:03:59.339 He could be working out somewhere else. 0:03:59.379 --> 0:04:00.259 He's working out early as well. 0:04:00.299 --> 0:04:02.539 That's so fair exactly, But yeah, I tried to get 0:04:02.539 --> 0:04:05.419 in as early as possible. It feels like I should 0:04:05.459 --> 0:04:07.699 be the first one. I think, just for me, it's 0:04:07.739 --> 0:04:09.659 like the first win of the day. Sure, and I 0:04:09.659 --> 0:04:11.579 think even making your bed in the morning the first 0:04:11.579 --> 0:04:13.499 win of the day. Just certain things back up, and 0:04:13.539 --> 0:04:14.939 me being the first in the gym is something I 0:04:14.939 --> 0:04:15.339 try to do. 0:04:15.819 --> 0:04:17.539 I know you've also spent a little bit of time 0:04:17.539 --> 0:04:19.419 now with Joel Embiid and with Paul George. 0:04:19.499 --> 0:04:20.499 What were those meetings like. 0:04:20.779 --> 0:04:23.259 Yeah, I mean, obviously, for me being a rookie, I'm 0:04:23.459 --> 0:04:26.059 always a little nervous, meaning superstars through I've watching I 0:04:26.059 --> 0:04:28.259 as a kid, but they're none but great to me, 0:04:28.739 --> 0:04:30.059 and I think they're gonna be great vets for me 0:04:30.099 --> 0:04:32.499 going forward. Playing with Paul George on the court and 0:04:32.579 --> 0:04:35.299 just like seeing how he is, it's pretty insane concerning 0:04:35.339 --> 0:04:37.859 how far how long ago I've been watching him, like 0:04:37.979 --> 0:04:41.139 literally since I was a little kid on YouTube, watching 0:04:41.139 --> 0:04:43.259 his highlights in class like to now playing with him. 0:04:43.299 --> 0:04:44.659 It's literally a surreal feeling. 0:04:44.899 --> 0:04:48.139 And you went on podcast Pee Subscribe make sure you're 0:04:48.219 --> 0:04:51.179 following along to all of our player initiatives. When you 0:04:51.259 --> 0:04:53.939 went on Paul's podcast, you talked about the fact that 0:04:53.979 --> 0:04:56.299 before Duke, you reached out to a psychologist and you 0:04:56.299 --> 0:04:58.259 thought that was going to be important for your development. 0:04:58.739 --> 0:04:59.659 Why did you do that? 0:04:59.779 --> 0:05:02.179 And let's talk a little bit about how normalized that's become, 0:05:02.219 --> 0:05:03.659 because that used to be a big deal and you 0:05:03.699 --> 0:05:05.059 said it so just like, of course I did. I 0:05:05.059 --> 0:05:06.859 want to keep my mental performance up. Yeah, tell us 0:05:06.859 --> 0:05:07.619 about that decision. 0:05:07.739 --> 0:05:10.259 Being on social media, there's stuff that's on there that 0:05:10.459 --> 0:05:13.659 can really deteriorate your mental health. And I think going 0:05:13.659 --> 0:05:16.419 into college, especially at college like Duke with a great 0:05:16.459 --> 0:05:19.099 fan base, and a passionate fan base. A lot of 0:05:19.139 --> 0:05:21.659 stuff negative can be said about you, and for me, 0:05:21.699 --> 0:05:24.459 I just wanted to keep my mental right because if 0:05:24.499 --> 0:05:27.019 my mental's not right, I'm not the best player I 0:05:27.059 --> 0:05:29.459 can be at all. And I think that's something I 0:05:29.499 --> 0:05:31.179 have to keep up with. Even if I work as 0:05:31.179 --> 0:05:33.179 hard as I can, if my mental's right, I'm not 0:05:33.179 --> 0:05:35.219 going to play my best. And so just reaching out 0:05:35.219 --> 0:05:38.059 to a psychologist that I've known for a long time. 0:05:38.059 --> 0:05:40.459 My brother has worked with them, and just working with 0:05:40.499 --> 0:05:42.859 him throughout the year, I think really was key for 0:05:42.939 --> 0:05:43.339 me and my. 0:05:43.299 --> 0:05:44.059 Success at Duke. 0:05:44.219 --> 0:05:45.979 You and your brother are very close, is that correct? 0:05:46.659 --> 0:05:48.659 Can you tell us a little bit about your bond 0:05:48.739 --> 0:05:50.939 and the shared dream that you're now getting to realize 0:05:50.939 --> 0:05:51.499 for both of you. 0:05:51.739 --> 0:05:55.659 Yeah, I mean, obviously we've been close since a little kid, 0:05:55.699 --> 0:05:57.899 but I think throughout my high school years with time, 0:05:57.939 --> 0:06:00.379 he got really close. And when he got blood class 0:06:00.379 --> 0:06:02.099 when he played in high school, had to stop playing, 0:06:02.499 --> 0:06:04.459 was able to come back, but the blood class came back. 0:06:04.499 --> 0:06:05.779 Like just a lot of stuff has happened with his 0:06:05.819 --> 0:06:08.739 basketball career, and so for me, that's the reason why 0:06:08.739 --> 0:06:10.659 I play, is just for us to reach our dream 0:06:10.659 --> 0:06:12.339 of making it to the NBA and that's why it 0:06:12.379 --> 0:06:15.659 was so special on draft night to achieve that dream. 0:06:15.699 --> 0:06:18.499 But yeah, we're I mean, the closest brothers I've ever seen. 0:06:18.539 --> 0:06:20.539 It kind of just I reach out him, reach out 0:06:20.539 --> 0:06:22.459 to him for anything. He's asked me questions about how 0:06:22.459 --> 0:06:25.539 it's going, Like I tell him every detail because it's 0:06:25.539 --> 0:06:27.699 like him living it too, So it's really cool to 0:06:27.739 --> 0:06:29.499 just share it with him and always have someone. 0:06:29.299 --> 0:06:29.619 To go to. 0:06:29.819 --> 0:06:31.059 Is he coming out to Philly with you? 0:06:31.539 --> 0:06:34.099 He's not, Well, he's a duke, he's a duke grad assistant. Love, 0:06:34.579 --> 0:06:37.219 so he's working there obviously for the season. If he 0:06:37.219 --> 0:06:39.579 can get away and see a game, hopefully he can 0:06:39.979 --> 0:06:42.099 after their season, hopefully we will be still playing. 0:06:42.179 --> 0:06:44.259 But yeah, he'll he'll definitely try as much to get 0:06:44.259 --> 0:06:44.579 out here. 0:06:44.659 --> 0:06:46.339 Your parents, though, are going to be out here a 0:06:46.419 --> 0:06:49.739 lot more and Teddy tell us about your mom, your 0:06:49.819 --> 0:06:52.139 dad and what type of support they're giving you behind 0:06:52.179 --> 0:06:53.819 the scenes, because we got to see them at Summer League. 0:06:53.819 --> 0:06:56.339 They're obviously big Jared McCain fans, which makes sense. Yeah, 0:06:56.419 --> 0:06:58.219 but what's it like behind closed doors? 0:06:57.979 --> 0:07:00.979 It's amazing, Like, I'm so lucky. I'm so lucky. I 0:07:00.979 --> 0:07:04.059 thank God every day, like to have such a great 0:07:04.059 --> 0:07:06.219 support system behind me. My mom and dad have raised 0:07:06.219 --> 0:07:08.139 me in such a great way. I'm not trying to 0:07:08.179 --> 0:07:10.539 be biased here, but I think the best parents I've 0:07:10.579 --> 0:07:13.979 ever seen. It's just amazing to have them here with me. 0:07:14.859 --> 0:07:16.979 My mom did just you know, cook food from like 0:07:17.019 --> 0:07:18.939 simple things, cooked meals that I've had since I was 0:07:18.979 --> 0:07:21.379 a kid, just make like make my house feel like 0:07:21.379 --> 0:07:23.659 a home. And it's really nice to have them close by. 0:07:23.899 --> 0:07:26.299 Obviously have my dog Teddy here. If you see my 0:07:26.379 --> 0:07:27.859 dad walk in, there's no way he's not going to 0:07:27.939 --> 0:07:29.659 have either a Jared McCain merch or a. 0:07:29.659 --> 0:07:30.699 Seventy six ers hat on. 0:07:31.339 --> 0:07:33.899 So just always supporting me in every way they can, 0:07:35.219 --> 0:07:36.339 and it's amazing to have them. 0:07:36.419 --> 0:07:39.819 We're inching closer to your NBA debut and opening night 0:07:39.899 --> 0:07:42.299 preseason first then opening night than a full season of 0:07:42.379 --> 0:07:43.259 NBA basketball? 0:07:43.459 --> 0:07:44.939 What are you most looking forward to? 0:07:47.779 --> 0:07:48.299 So much? 0:07:49.379 --> 0:07:50.899 Like the little things for me are the one that's 0:07:50.899 --> 0:07:53.219 gonna get me. I think it's just like, first off, 0:07:53.299 --> 0:07:55.179 never I haven't been to Wells Fargo yet. Cool, I 0:07:55.179 --> 0:07:57.259 haven't been. I've been to the Philly Stadium. I've been 0:07:57.299 --> 0:07:59.859 to the Eagle Stadium, like I've been to everywhere except 0:07:59.899 --> 0:08:02.899 our actual place. So even just driving up in my car, 0:08:03.059 --> 0:08:06.219 like to go in the player's entrance, putting on my jersey, 0:08:06.499 --> 0:08:09.219 looking around seeing Joel and b Tires, Maxi, Paul George, 0:08:09.259 --> 0:08:12.259 like all these players who I've watched, get. 0:08:12.059 --> 0:08:13.339 This, You're gonna be wearing the same outfit. 0:08:13.379 --> 0:08:16.179 Is Yeah, that's that's the crazy, wild insane. 0:08:17.099 --> 0:08:20.419 Just walking out, like doing the warm up, like when 0:08:20.459 --> 0:08:22.859 the ball gets tipps, just watching the game, like it's 0:08:22.859 --> 0:08:24.659 just gonna be so surreal for me. So there's so 0:08:24.659 --> 0:08:27.779 many moments I'm gonna remember and try to just keep 0:08:27.779 --> 0:08:29.299 as a great visualization tactic. 0:08:29.499 --> 0:08:31.699 What are the cornerstones of your game day routine? 0:08:32.299 --> 0:08:34.259 Major one is I read a part of a book 0:08:34.299 --> 0:08:36.939 before every game, part of the inner game of tennis. 0:08:37.499 --> 0:08:40.099 There's a little analogy I like to read about the 0:08:40.179 --> 0:08:42.179 rose and. 0:08:42.019 --> 0:08:43.619 Also say more in. 0:08:43.579 --> 0:08:46.299 This book, it's it talks about just the mental part 0:08:46.339 --> 0:08:48.579 of sports in general, but it's through a tennis coach 0:08:49.179 --> 0:08:52.659 and he talks about this rose analogy where the rose 0:08:52.739 --> 0:08:54.499 is a rose from the time you plant the seed 0:08:54.779 --> 0:08:56.699 to the time it grows, and you're going to give 0:08:56.699 --> 0:08:58.979 it the same care, the same nourishment it needs to 0:08:59.059 --> 0:09:01.819 reach a rose. And that's something that really resonates with me. 0:09:01.899 --> 0:09:03.899 I think just I'm going to be myself, no matter 0:09:04.219 --> 0:09:07.139 how the media sees me, how players see me, I'm 0:09:07.139 --> 0:09:10.059 always going to be myself and no matter what happens, 0:09:10.219 --> 0:09:12.139 I'm always me. And I think that that really helps 0:09:12.179 --> 0:09:14.819 me just not only lock in, but just know like 0:09:14.899 --> 0:09:16.659 I'm out there just going to play and be myself 0:09:16.699 --> 0:09:17.099 out there. 0:09:17.579 --> 0:09:19.419 You've been to the Phillies, You've been to the Eagles. 0:09:19.459 --> 0:09:21.459 What have you observed about the Philly fan base. 0:09:22.419 --> 0:09:24.859 I was sitting right behind home plate and there were 0:09:24.859 --> 0:09:27.539 these fans behind me shout out to those guys, and 0:09:27.619 --> 0:09:30.259 they were just screaming at the other team, like every 0:09:30.299 --> 0:09:33.299 time they missed the bat or missed missed the swing, whatever, 0:09:33.859 --> 0:09:34.699 just screaming at them. 0:09:34.739 --> 0:09:35.579 And that's what I love. 0:09:35.859 --> 0:09:37.739 I love that seeing that part of the passionate fan 0:09:37.819 --> 0:09:40.819 base of Philadelphia, and so I'm excited to see it 0:09:40.859 --> 0:09:41.419 at our games. 0:09:41.459 --> 0:09:44.419 Well, let's bridge the gap between Duke and the Philadelphia 0:09:44.499 --> 0:09:47.219 seventy six ers. What were the fans like for you 0:09:47.299 --> 0:09:49.539 at Duke, because I know that they will hold you 0:09:49.539 --> 0:09:53.619 accountable as well as be your biggest supporters. How do 0:09:53.659 --> 0:09:55.619 you think that they might compare to what you're going 0:09:55.659 --> 0:09:57.619 to experience on opening night in Philadelphia. 0:09:57.699 --> 0:09:58.859 Yeah, I think they're very similar. 0:09:59.019 --> 0:10:01.139 I think obviously being affiliates, it's going to be on 0:10:01.179 --> 0:10:05.699 a bigger, bigger stage. But the similarities they have is 0:10:05.779 --> 0:10:08.339 just the passionate, the passionate fan base, Like they're going 0:10:08.419 --> 0:10:10.379 to tell you they can see if you're not playing hard, 0:10:10.379 --> 0:10:11.699 and they're going to let you know if you aren't, 0:10:11.739 --> 0:10:14.219 And I think that's they hold you accountable. I'm gonna 0:10:14.219 --> 0:10:16.499 do my part in playing hard, doing what I can 0:10:16.539 --> 0:10:17.299 to help the team win. 0:10:17.379 --> 0:10:18.419 Control what I can control. 0:10:18.539 --> 0:10:20.259 But yeah, i think the fan bases are very similar, 0:10:20.699 --> 0:10:22.939 and I'm excited to get to know this fan base more. 0:10:23.099 --> 0:10:25.459 I know you visited Duke since you left. I was 0:10:25.459 --> 0:10:27.419 going to say graduated. We're not quite there yet, But 0:10:28.259 --> 0:10:30.219 what do you met?

Because obviously Drake 0:13:07.699 --> 0:13:10.419 is topical right now, but it seems that he means 0:13:10.739 --> 0:13:12.859 more to you maybe like it feels like and I 0:13:12.859 --> 0:13:14.179 know a lot of Drake fans feel that way, right, 0:13:14.179 --> 0:13:16.379 Like his music gets you through things, right, tell me 0:13:16.419 --> 0:13:18.379 about your personal Drake journey. 0:13:19.099 --> 0:13:19.619 Yeah, I think it. 0:13:19.699 --> 0:13:21.619 I mean it goes back all the way since I was, 0:13:22.099 --> 0:13:24.019 like since my brother introduced me to Drake when I 0:13:24.059 --> 0:13:27.539 was like six years old, like listening listen to best 0:13:27.539 --> 0:13:28.739 I ever had, like him. 0:13:28.619 --> 0:13:30.899 Just just showing me Drake. I think it. 0:13:31.019 --> 0:13:32.699 I went to his concert when I would I went 0:13:32.739 --> 0:13:35.699 to the take Care concert when Kendrick and Asap opened 0:13:35.779 --> 0:13:41.859 up for him, and anyways, but yeah, I think he 0:13:41.899 --> 0:13:45.099 has a song for every mood I'm in he's been 0:13:45.099 --> 0:13:46.939 there since I was a kid. It's kind of someone 0:13:46.939 --> 0:13:48.979 I've grown up with and he's been at the top 0:13:49.179 --> 0:13:53.739 for that long. So just a great artist, the best 0:13:53.819 --> 0:13:56.619 artist of all time. Michael Jackson of course too. But 0:13:56.899 --> 0:14:00.259 Drake is my personal and yeah, it means it means 0:14:00.299 --> 0:14:00.739 a lot to me. 0:14:00.939 --> 0:14:02.699 Longevity is a theme with you, right, you just talked 0:14:02.699 --> 0:14:05.819 about the Rose, You've talked about Drake's longevity. What are 0:14:05.859 --> 0:14:07.299 a couple of things And I know I said last question, 0:14:07.339 --> 0:14:08.699 but I think we're going to tie it up here. 0:14:08.899 --> 0:14:10.659 What are a few things that you're doing right now 0:14:10.699 --> 0:14:13.019 to ensure that this first season for you is just 0:14:13.059 --> 0:14:13.539 the beginning. 0:14:14.539 --> 0:14:17.739 I think asking questions to the people who have literally 0:14:17.739 --> 0:14:20.059 been there for ten fifteen years. Taking care of my 0:14:20.099 --> 0:14:23.299 body is the main thing they say you can't the 0:14:23.339 --> 0:14:25.739 best availability is wait, the best what is it? 0:14:25.739 --> 0:14:26.019 The best? 0:14:26.099 --> 0:14:27.419 Best ability is availability? 0:14:27.419 --> 0:14:29.939 Exactly what she said. So, yeah, just taking care of 0:14:29.939 --> 0:14:30.379 my body. 0:14:30.459 --> 0:14:32.579 Obviously, going to take care of my mental because I 0:14:32.659 --> 0:14:34.619 think and nowadays, a lot of stuff happens and people 0:14:34.619 --> 0:14:36.419 are stepping away from the game because of their mental 0:14:36.539 --> 0:14:39.179 So taking care of that always. But I think one 0:14:39.219 --> 0:14:42.419 thing is working hard. It's always going to come back 0:14:42.459 --> 0:14:44.139 to that, and then once you take care of your 0:14:44.139 --> 0:14:46.299 body and take care of your mental, everything will set 0:14:46.299 --> 0:14:47.059 yourself up well. 0:14:47.059 --> 0:14:48.819 You're asking tons of questions.
