These are people 215 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: that do it every single day. 216 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 4: This is what they do. 217 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: Are you ready for the level of competition? And what 218 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: do you think about the other seeded competitors up here. 219 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it is a different level. These guys 220 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 3: are incredible. I mean, you know, my day job is basketball, 221 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 3: so that's what I primarily work on. But these guys 222 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 3: are professionals. This is their job, and yeah, that's what 223 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 3: I love about dunking though, just being creative. I'm trying 224 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 3: to do the same thing I do when I go 225 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 3: to the NBA Dunk Contest. Just do some things that 226 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: people haven't seen before and have fun. 227 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: And I want to say, in front of the back, 228 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 4: it's a shame he's not in the league. Team should 229 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 4: really be ashamed because this kid can really play. But 230 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: this kid right here single handedly saved the dunk contest 231 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 4: last three years ago in a row, and they brought 232 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 4: him up. They brought him up from the G League 233 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 4: and he saved the dunk Contest last three years in 234 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 4: a row. He came out, you put on the show, 235 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 4: didn't miss any dunks, that conviction had style. So I 236 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 4: want to say, thank you for saving the dunk contest. 237 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 4: I appreciate you. 238 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you for saying that. 239 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: Thank you so much. 240 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: Chan you just want in Paris, I'm curious, what do 241 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: you think?
