WEBVTT - 4 Nations vs. NBA, SGA Is A Superstar, 1v1 Coming To All-Star? | TICKET & THE TRUTH 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:05.400 Man, did y'all see the kid who was talking about 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.440 the hockey? Shit? Did y'all see that discussion? 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:10.400 No, Church was just telling me about it. 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:12.480 Yeah, I forgot the kid's name. He does a good 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.600 job with uh And I don't mean to call him 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:17.560 a kid. He's a grown man. Shot to him. But 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.040 I saw what he said about you know he was 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:22.840 I see he was making points on the NHL and 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:26.720 hoves growing shout out to the NHL and hockey. Yeah, 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.479 then he was just going at the league and you know, 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.879 hockey's dope. Man. But yeah, when I think about connection, 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:39.479 at least with audience, at least in America, man, you 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.360 gotta have somebody that at least from our culture or 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.600 somebody from culture. Bro. You ain't got no coaching in 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.680 your in your sport. Bro, it's hard to actually penetrate 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.040 any any kind of following this in America. Bro, you 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.920 got to have something that you know what I'm saying 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.520 that that kind of reflects the fan and the people 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.440 that are watching, you know, and hockey don't reflec like that. 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.040 You know, Papa Jones kids are in hockey. Shout to 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.600 the Jones family, but we never hear about them. You 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.319 know what I'm saying. I know, hockey's having this big 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.920 ass tournament going on, and it seems like fighting is 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.080 is depressident. 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:19.280 Right, yeah, four nations. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.800 But I'm just saying it's being ran by these guys 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.360 like US and Canada ain't fault. I think they I 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.240 think the most they fought was like four times in 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.520 the last some years, and then all of a sudden 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.120 there was like ten fights that broke out where the 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.280 guys text each other. Well, let me say this, bro, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:40.160 Apple's oranges, pears, grapes. I like them all. They all 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.440 guy sees. They all are under fruit. You know this 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.520 thing of professional sports man, it's all. It's all about 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.120 what you like. But I just hate when I hear 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.240 I didn't like how he was trying to bash the lead. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.440 You know, first off, man, we played for pride, We 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.440 pay for legacy, we play for namesake always, like any 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:01.920 other athlete in any sport, right there. Man, I get it. Man, 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:06.880 when players don't you know, not necessarily don't play, but 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.760 when they have injuries and they sit out, I don't 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.560 think people understand the goal here. The goal with the 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:16.560 league is the longevity. You know, obviously, you know it 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.920 always goes back to these old and new lenses that 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.360 we look through. The league gave these kids a chance 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.120 to be able to rest their bodies and have chances 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.640 to where it was so much on the league, nobody 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.160 actually said anything, nobody actually stood up for it. Bron 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.400 and I can say that these this group of guys 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.360 who have let the last fifteen to twenty years, they've 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.600 made it the precedent about rest. I think the league 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.560 does need to give the guys more rest. I think 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:46.280 All Star should go from actually Wednesday to Saturday. You 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.120 know what I'm saying, because the guys got to actually 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.640 work Saturday Sunday. They actually gotta work Friday Saturday Sunday, 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.680 so they don't really get a break. And then what 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.200 they get Monday Tuesday, they gotta travel since for the league. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.120 I get it. I heard the debate. I heard it. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.120 But at the same time, you know, hockey doesn't do 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.600 anything for culture. Y'all don't talk about how actually black 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.560 men and a group of black men that moved to Nova, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.680 Scotia actually founded the game and then got ousted out 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.720 of the game. You hear me, Yeah I didn't, Yeah 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.360 I didn't, I didn't. I was trying to understand. I 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.359 heard both. I heard his part about hockey. But yeah, man, 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.640 the league, the league is in this new lens, and 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.440 this league is not through the old lens. And this 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.880 league is a marathon. It ain't necessarily what you're doing now. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.200 It's like what you're doing now, what you're doing later, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.359 and then what you're doing five ten years from now. 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.160 And that's how you see the Longevila Lebron and I 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:37.840 think that's the way that the league gonna do. But 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.160 to beat up another sport, to like glorify your own, 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.920 I wasn't feeling that. And then two, yeah we got 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.960 different Yeah, we got different rules for reasons. We all 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.920 passion the sport. We all the emotional sport hockey. To 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.920 me when I watched those guys are passionate too. But man, 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.720 you gotta imagine going into a setting where and then 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.160 you're talking about teaching kids, imagine going into a setting 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.880 where you know you want to fight. I don't know 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.600 if they be watching, bro, but ain't nobody fighting today? 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.200 These kids got switches out here. Dog, ain't nobody screaring 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.600 up fighting? Then you better have some composure about yourself, bro, Man, 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.520 get get bold in the facing in the Western Conference, 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.560 gain by your by one of your good friends, and 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.040 then and then have some composure. Because what you need 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.760 to teach the kid at home is that boy, as 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.920 a boy, I hit bigger than you, hit harder you, 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.039 He fastened you and all that, and that's reality. And 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.240 these kids that don't want to fight pulling switches, man, 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.559 he got a bigger switch and all that. So, yeah, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.120 the thing is to teach being a bigger person talking 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.000 and communicating and resolve it. Yeah, yeah, I saw this 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.279 whole spell. I wasn't I wasn't feeling that though, you 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.200 know what I'm saying with respects to to hockey and 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.359 them trying to get that viewership right, But yeah, today 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.560 tap into some culture. I don't know what that's gonna be, 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.080 at least for Americans, at least for the group of 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.279 people that I'm around, and how we talk about sports 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.840 and it being relative to us and all that. Yeah, 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.800 it doesn't, it doesn't do a reach. I say the 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.120 same thing about four to one. Well, my one don't 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.839 had nobody from America who we look at, and I 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.640 heard his stories and all that. You know what I'm 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.320 saying now follows his grind and he not got here. Nah, 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.600 I don't think those sports actually are for us, so 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.400 they don't profile us in them or you know, actually 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.520 feature us, so you know, we don't get no ships. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.039 The sports actually pertain to where people come from the 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.960 culture and the heartbeat and the passionate emotion. That's what 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.200 That's what man. I'm an American, so you know, that's 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.200 that's what we love. You know what I'm saying that 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.120 the hockey game is built or it comes off like 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.560 it's built for the Canadian viewer. You know what I'm saying, Now, 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.000 fuck with Canada, fuck with hockey, I fuck with all 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.599 that shit. But yeah, I don't know anybody in it. 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.760 They don't they don't really do player profiles. You know 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.720 what I'm saying big enough for all of us to see. 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.040 So yeah, you know what I'm saying. I want feeling 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.960 his take on that, because the league got a lot 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.480 of shit that we fight do. We have our problems, absolutely, 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.800 just like any other sport. But I support both man 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.760 shouts in the NHL and what they're trying to do 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.040 or hope they get it right, and I hope somebody, 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.840 uh from the neighborhood actually is able to get drafted 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.440 like the Popeye Jones sons and all that ship. You 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.359 know what I'm saying, and we hear about them stories. 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.039 Let's get to it, man, Yeah, y'all know what it is. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:21.840 Let's get it. Can't you certify? Yes, sir, certain faster 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:36.080 certuf Certifi Certifa certain certifa certain. It's a green summer. Yeah, 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:40.360 we built differently. You ain't watching the games like I'm 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:45.640 watching them again. You'm outside, We're alive. That's when you 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:50.120 stopped production that we go back, but we want just 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:50.520 gid it. 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.760 So first up, I want to ask you about just 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.279 kind of being out in the Bay for all stort weekend, 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.320 what that experience is like and what you're what you 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.200 did while you're out there. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.800 Yeah, shoutut to the Bay, man, real shit, man. I 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.520 know it was in San fran the Bay area and 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.120 all that, but shout out to the Bay. I thought 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:08.360 NBA did a great job of just glorifying the Bay 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.520 in San Francisco for the four days that the whole 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.800 event and festivities was out there. I thought all the 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.320 parties was dope. I think the Bay needed it too. Man. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:19.800 It was a good time to come up there. It 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.160 was a good time to glorify all the not just basketball, 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.160 but the artist. Little Russ shot to litle d shot, 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.360 the little Russ shot the artist. Smoke shout, the Fordy 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.920 water shout, the short shout, the you know, Steph, the whole, 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.360 the whole, the whole bay Man, the whole bay. When 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:39.360 I saw that Steph Curry and under Armor had damn there, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.520 bought the whole everything in San France, I knew Nike 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.440 and Bron was gonna be second. It made sense when 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.320 I saw him not play. When about him was you know, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.920 obviously a Steph Curry feature, and then too, if I'm 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.560 being honest, I octually thought that the league is doing 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.480 a bit of R and D to see how, you know, 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.160 fans react to a non Lebron being in our league. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.800 I think that that's a real thing. But other than that, 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.560 man had a great time. Man dunk contest was cool 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.560 as fuck as my first time seeing it from that perspective. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.520 Shout to Trade McGrady, hey Man gave me some good 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.520 pointers on you know how to look at it? You 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.200 know what I'm saying, Because I went in there one 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.920 way and then talking to him, I actually went in there. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.720 I was like okay, and it was for the pure 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.120 art of and they showed out. Man. I thought the 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.640 kid from Dispersed Castle was his his dunks, him and 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.760 mac Man. They was bringing it. All the guys was 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.840 bringing it. But the kid from Chicago tried some ship 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.760 between his legs and whatever. And I thought if he 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.560 used the leather ball that he would have actually could 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.839 have could have done it. But it was an incentives 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.240 for using the AT and T ball. That's another thing 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.040 I learned, you know what I'm saying. But yeah, man, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.160 it was a great time and I thought the league 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.720 put on a good show. I thought the format was different, 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.240 but it was super exciting for us to you know, watch, 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.360 and you know, people got to remember, man, these games 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.839 are not basketball games. There are events, and what the 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.640 NBA is putting on is a production. I didn't like 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:03.680 how they did Shaq and the TNT crew. I thought 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.720 those guys should have sat on like some fucking thrones. Man, 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.840 y'all don't understand. Man. Two decades of being able to 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.120 cover a beautiful game and be able to register and 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.240 get viewers to chime in and have conversations and have 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.640 tough debates and Kenny Teach and Ernie Lead and Charles 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.080 and and and and and and shot give like a 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.480 superior in a premium analyst group. Man, I thought that 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.120 they could have did a better job of that. To 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.360 see some of the greats and you send them off fishing. No, 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.440 I won't feeling that at all. You know, them guys 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.600 should have been crowned and put put crowns on their 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.480 head and sat in some king thrones and then talk 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.280 about you know what's next or something. You know what 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.720 I'm saying. They need to be glorified, not You know, 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.040 when niggas go go fishing, it's because they didn't reach 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.880 it or their goals had stopped. You know what I'm saying. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.800 Think about what that means. When they send the team fishing, 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.599 that means that season is over. They finished start. You 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.480 know what I'm saying. Now, I looked at them as 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.920 as it's like, you know, the pillars of this ship. 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.680 You know that that TNT crew has has created kind 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.400 of like a script on how to do this and 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.680 having impressionable people and there having having people that you 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.520 care about that you didn't know that had this type 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.959 of insight on the game. You know what I'm saying. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.120 But yeah, man. Overall, Man, I had a good time.

Man. Shout 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.760 the little Russ man lit. Russ is probably artist that 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.200 I followed and been keeping track up. But man, I 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.240 got to feel his energy and got to be present 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.560 amongst him.

It was dope to bill with him 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.679 and be around that shot all the smoke, Brian Daly 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.960 and all those guys. It was a good time out there. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.120 Thank you Bay, thank you Sam frand I appreciate it 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:51.640 real ship. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.200 Going to the game just All Star weekend, there was 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.200 a lot of chatter about something that you had brought 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.640 up years ago and have stayed on the one on 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.920 one and there's been a lot of discussion about it, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.720 and they're leading towards potentially doing it next year, at 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.040 least trying to do it next year. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:07.720 Are they listen? 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:09.959 Yeah, what were your thoughts on kind of the players 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:11.600 talking about it and a lot of the media members 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.120 talking about it and it being something that you and 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.480 I have discussed for years now. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:20.160 Yeah, I sometimes don't think that people are actually listening 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.920 to what we say. I think somebody sometimes people think 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.960 we're just in here, we all fucking around, we have 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.959 a good time with it. But a lot of shit too, man, 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.480 is from the inside. And what I see, you know, 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.280 wares used to be a big part of how you 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.280 sharpen your tools and how you deepen your bag. Yeah, 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.000 it was always that Warrior or that Viking thing that 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.560 we did. And I just think that if if the 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.760 fans had a chance to see that passion and how 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.120 each guy is actually trying to get it in that setup, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.120 in that format, I thought that that would be I 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.000 thought that would be entertaining for the league. And I 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.000 didn't really think that, you know, just because of their 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.520 level of embarrassment, the level of you know, winning loss. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.960 Somebody has to win, somebody has to lose. But I 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.320 thought that that that alone could could entertain and being 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:14.079 very entertainment and very very entertaining event for the league. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.480 So it's good that it's good to see they actually 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.800 start to pick up some of these different pieces and 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:20.920 start to activate them. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:25.679 So we'll see, Yeah, players like hard Dan and they 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:26.599 had interest in doing it. 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.960 So Kyrie came out said here do it. Yeah, and 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.920 that's what you need. I think more of initiative. Some 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.760 of your superstars are starting to take initiative and jump 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.120 out there. I've seen Josh say here he might have 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:39.959 to jump in the dunk contest.

Jermaine o'neils 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.880 was also in that game. It was Dynamic Prep against 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:02.160 Utah Prep and Nike used to today be a new shoe. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.600 I'm just wondering what you learned from de bans and 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:05.840 when you when you met him the other day. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.040 First off, shout to the young kid a j I. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.640 I met him and passing his dad had stopped me 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.800 and asked me to take a picture with him.

But I 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.800 hear young Fellows the real deal, and uh yeah, I 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.400 look forward to just seeing him grow and see what 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:50.160 he do in Utah. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.440 Another player we ran into with Jason Tatum. He pulled 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.560 up on you, you know, inviting you out to Boston. 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.120 You got to see Tate, you know, he jumped right height. Man, Hey, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.040 we give you some game as man, what we're doing. 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.280 It's like, yeah, no, man, trying to build this thing. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.200 I got it. I gotta get man, Come on, man, 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.120 like man, I live on the West Coast. Yeah, I 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.200 got you though, you feel me. 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.720 But Celtics eight and two in their last ten, Tailor 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.640 playing some of his best stretch of basketball this season. 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.040 What have you kind of just seen from him as 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.040 a young man kind of coming up in the game 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.840 and obviously a champion now. But he keeps developing. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.720 Yeh, keep developing, and he's growing. He's growing this game. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.520 He looks stronger this year. He's playing through files, playing 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.160 through a lot of contact. I would like them to 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.800 be a little more consistent on the second and third effort. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.360 You know. Sometimes when he's done get files, he'll melt 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:35.680 right there and kind of complain a little bit. But 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.120 I think, at least for me, when I watched Tatum, man, 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:43.320 it's just you know, him learning how to take over games. Obviously, 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.080 he has a bunch of talent around him so he 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.760 doesn't have to do too much. But I think him 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.960 and Jay, him and j Brown do a great job 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.840 of being ahead of the snake of that team. I 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.960 love all the pieces that they have up there that 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.680 has created this green buzz saw. And yeah, I think 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.280 Tatum's gonna get even better. I think not only as 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.200 his as he gets older, he's gonna get smarter. I 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.800 think his IQ is going to grow. He's gonna get 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.000 better at playmaking. I see his handles has gotten a 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.040 light tighter for him to go in and out and 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.080 be able to you know, go in and get files 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.840 and stuff. So I see the growth. I see the growth. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.760 I see the growth in his game. I see the 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.359 growth in his confidence, you know, coming down being able 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.400 to put the nail on the coffin or hit big 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.600 threes or be able to you know, like, I see 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.960 what he's doing, but I'm excited for his growth in 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.040 what he's going to be. I don't think that we're 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.040 seeing the best of him yet, and I think the 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.080 best of him is yet to come.
