Speaker 3: the court and off the court.

49
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: Okay, So growing up I used to love the Boston Celtics,

50
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: even though from Cali people don't really Yeah, but I

51
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: like Paul Pierce a lot. So he was my idol

52
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: kind of growing up, and then Dereck Rose when he

53
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: was on the Bulls that was like my favorite player

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: of all time? Love it?

55
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: Who Well, I guess you just answered sort of that question.

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: Were you still a Celtics fan or have you moved away.

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: From that fanomly? I mean I'm a fan of you know,

58
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: different players now a little more. I like Damian Lillard,

59
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: uh Jihannis, So probably the Bucks would be my team

60
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: I like right now. But guys like that.

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: Is there a player that you try to model your

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: game after?

63
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Uh? I take bits and pieces from a lot of

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: people and just try to try to use use their

65
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: game for mine. Recently, I beginning Bradley Bell and a

66
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: little bit of Ethony Edwards. But I mean he's a dog,

67
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, if I'm all after him there, I'll be good.

68
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

69
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: So, growing up, I know your brother Hersey and your

70
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: cousin Victorious both play basketball, and obviously there's you know,

71
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: some legends about your dad playing basketball as it as well.

72
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: What was it like growing up in a family full

73
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: of hoopers and is there anyone else in your family

74
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: that doesn't really get that respect but can also hoop?

75
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: Yeah? My family you know, we all who all love

76
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: to get on the court play each other. I mean,

77
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: they had many games in the backyard where we just

78
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: play all night and just my team usually came out

79
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: on the top. It'll be me and my cousin King

80
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: versus Hersey and Victoria's actually, and we usually beat them.

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: So not many people know that, but we're probably the

82
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: best duo in the world. Wow, in the world. That's crazy.

83
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So your dad, Master p F famously tried out

84
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: for the Raptors in the Hornets?

85
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: Can he really Hooper? Is this all like a legend?

86
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean from when I see now I Oh no, but

87
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: I guess I've seen footage here. I hear stories from people,

88
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: and just when he gets in the gym with us,

89
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: he tries to shoot a little bit, so he has

90
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: a shot, So I'll give it to him, I guess.

91
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: And you think you and your brother's basketball jeans came

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: from him?

93
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. He he definitely is a competitor. Uh.

94
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: I think I think we got it from him, for sure.

95
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So now that we talked a little bit about

96
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: who you are, I want to move on to you

97
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: in your high school career. So what has been the

98
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: most memorable basketball moment for you so far.

99
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: The most memorable basketball moment probably when I scored the

100
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: sixty eight points, or like we won the state championship,

101
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: because you know, we came I came from Oak Hill

102
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: in Virginia and came back here to Cali. A lot

103
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: of people doubt our team, and just for us to

104
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: go in and win that with that group we had,

105
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: it was definitely special.

106
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

107
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: Who were the top five best players you think you

108
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: played against in high school or a.

109
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: Ooh, top five? I gotta think about that. Probably somebody

110
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: had to play against every day. Caleb Foster, he was

111
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, Dusty Stromer for sure was up there.

112
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: Probably I played against Elliot cadot Au. He was good.

113
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: Talk about like my in my high school, like on

114
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: my team, like Chet, Holmgren, Jaylen Sucks, like those guys

115
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: playing them every day in practice.

116
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: Were you freshman when they were senior?

117
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? So I was a freshman with Chet and then

118
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: eighth grade when Jalen was on the team. Okay, so

119
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: I didn't really I didn't really play much, but in

120
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota I could practice with him, so I could practice

121
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: and then if you're good enough, you play and I

122
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: played like two minutes.

123
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so you're the question what you're welcome to

124
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 3: the league moment.

125
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm curious what was your moment sort of when you

126
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: were playing against them where you're like, oh, like, I'm

127
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: just like so little compared to the like I'm not

128
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: there yet.

129
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Probably my freshman year, Chet like hit me with

130
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: a crazy spin move like dunk, Like it was crazy.

131
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: He's a seven foot guard. The way he played, he's

132
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: like a unicorn out there. So hit a spin move dunk,

133
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: and just I felt little on that moment.

134
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 2: But yeah, what differences have you seen between AU basketball

135
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: and high school basketball? Mmm?

136
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: AU is definitely different from high school. High school feel

137
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: like it is more structured a lot more. You know,

138
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: in high school it's more like team orient it. It

139
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: use a lot of people just getting off. But it's

140
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: like you it's fun. It's like, it's very different, i'd say,

141
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: but high school, you know, it's playing for whatever, whatever

142
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: town you're in, whatever, wherever your family is from, something

143
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: like that. But uh, it's definitely different, and it means

144
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: it means more.

145
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, who is an underrated high school

146
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: or AAU teammate of yours that you want to show

147
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: love to.

148
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: I so love to my guy Lino Mark. I feel

149
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: like he's definitely very underrated. You know, it's one of

150
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: the best best players I played against. I had to

151
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: go against some every day in practice, and I feel

152
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: like he doesn't get as much recognition as he deserves.

153
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: Okay, And how do you think you were able to

154
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: sort of and still are balance all the pressures of

155
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: like top one hundred lists and camps and knowing that

156
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 2: the whole world like you because are kids, you're high schoolers,

157
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: yet the whole world has their eyes on you.

158
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean for me, I feel like my my

159
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: journey is a little different. I feel like I've been

160
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: a good player. I played against a lot of top

161
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: guys and like did what I had to do in

162
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: high school. But I feel like I didn't get as

163
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: much recognition as you know. Something may say, yeah, but uh,

164
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's definitely like feel for me, and that

165
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: just keeps me like going being hungry every time I

166
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: get on the course. So I mean, even though I

167
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: didn't get all the things I wanted, I feel like

168
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: it definitely made me better. So I'm glad for that.

169
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: I like that So now I want to touch on

170
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: something you said earlier, which was your famous sixty eight

171
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: point game.

172
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: So kids talk us.

173
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: Through that, like, how do you how is that possible?

174
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: I need to hear that.

175
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know I was gonna score sixty eight.

176
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: I came to the game. It was just a normal game,

177
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: I felt like. And then my coach, he's the coacher,

178
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: so he was talking. He was like, Oh, we got

179
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: to play these guys hard. They're gonna they're gonna come

180
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: out here and beat you guys. I'm me. I'm like, no,

181
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not good for that. Yeah. So he

182
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: was like that beginning and then halftime I had twenty

183
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: two points and then somehow I ended with fifty and

184
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: a third court and then the rest is history.

185
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you weren't ever gonna like stop. You just

186
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: were gonna keep going, Like you think you would have

187
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: gone to a hundred.

188
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: If I had a chance, I would have kept going.

189
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: But you know they pulled me out.

190
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. So what is that the most points do you

191
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: think you've ever scored a game? Or like maybe like

192
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: when you're playing your backyard you score on.

193
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: No, definitely that was the most points I've ever scored.

194
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: When I used to play like a mini league back

195
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: in the day, like red ball, probably scored a lot,

196
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: but nothing nothing.

197
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: Like Yeah, what is your pregame routine?

198
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: Mmmm? Pre game? So I get like a Chipotle, I

199
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: get a weird burrito.

200
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: A lot of people eat a burrito before.

201
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, people be like, you shouldn't do that, but

202
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: I get a Chipotle burrito. I try to take a nap,

203
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: and then I listened to brown Noise. I don't listen

204
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: to music like that anymore, but I listened to brown noise,

205
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: just looking like center me. Yeah. And then what's in

206
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: the breedo?

207
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: I need like the full I.

208
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: Mean it's not much. People are like, I'm weird for it,

209
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: but I just get sour cream, cheese and white rice.

210
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: That literally seems like if like I were like a doctor.

211
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: That sounds like the worst thing I know, but it

212
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: works for me, So I mean that's what I do.

213
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: It works, And uh I had that before I score

214
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: sixty eights, so I guess keep it works.

215
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: Who was the coolest person to ever come watch one

216
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: of your high school games?

217
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. We had we had a lot of a

218
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: lot of people come up. We had Toby Maguire at

219
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: one of our games. That was the coolest thing. I

220
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: didn't get to see him, but they told me. So

221
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: that's why I can think of it. But I feel

222
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: like that's definitely the coolest thing. Having Spider Man that's

223
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: your game, that's the y and then Kendall Jenner is that.

224

231
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,720

233
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,360

Speaker 1: all aspects. I want to get like four point zero

237
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,920

411
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: there a couple of times when I was younger. My

412
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: dad he went there for when he was in college,

413
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: and then we went to one of the alumni games

414
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: and it was like it was a crazy game. I

415
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: went to atmosphere was great, people were great. And then

416
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: that was in the seventh grade, so I was like

417
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: I kind of got a feeling for this. I like

418
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: this place. And then the next couple of years they

419
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: were really good up and coming program. And just you know,

420
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: I felt like the defense and all they're about that

421
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: was definitely something I want to be a part of.

422
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: And when they offered me, I felt like that was

423
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: just it. Yeah, I knew it was it.

424
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,520

427
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: to be a key piece on the team. A lot

428
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: of freshmen come in and they do different things. People

429
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: know me as a scorer, but I want to go

430
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: there and be one of the best defensive players and

431
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: like hopefully, like you know, I could lock up and

432
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: become like big twelve defensive player the year. Like that's

433
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: that's my goal right now.

434
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I hope that comes true.

435
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: So I'm a huge Quentin Grimes fan, who's honestly like

436
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: a Houston legend.

437
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: And I want to know who's a Houston legend that

438
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: you look up to.

439
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Quentin, he's been there with us recently, so he's

440
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: super cool. Probably Marcus Sasser. A lot of people say

441
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: I look like him too, but he's one of the

442
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: Houston guys I look up to. And then Hakeem for sure,

443
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest ever played again basketball.

444
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: He came to Houston Bigson Phill.

445
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

446
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: See it is having played with guys like Dusty Stromer

447
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: and Caleb Foster in high school.

448
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: How have they giving you advice to prepare for college?

449
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: Like DA did when Dusty came back recently, and then

450
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: when I text text Caleb, you know, we all talk

451
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: about different things and just just how it is like

452
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: playing on the court getting ready. What do you like

453
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: what's different?

454
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

455
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: I mean, most importantly it is to say, like, just

456
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: just be prepared for everything, because you know, it's different

457
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: being a freshman going into certain situations. You have to

458
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: be always ready. Sometimes you might not play, sometimes you

459
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: might you might have a good game and then the

460
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: next day like you don't play at all. So just

461
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: being prepared all times and just keeping that confidence in

462
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: yourself because that's, you know, what you came here to do. Yeah.

463
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 2: I noticed Caleb's been podcasting a little bit. I'm glad

464
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: you didn't say his podcast. That's better answer.

465
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: Who are you most looking forward to playing against this season?

466
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: Mm? Probably one of my close friends, Carter Bryant. He's

467
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: been talking. We talked about it. He's been talking crazy,

468
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: like Arizona is the best team in the world, so

469
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: when we see them with death, be a great matchup.

470
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, And who is an incoming freshman that you

471
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 2: think is underrated that you want to show.

472
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Up to incoming freshman? Yeah, probably my teammate Chase Chase McCarty.

473
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Like he's definitely underrated. He's good, good size, could shoot

474
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: the ball extremely well, he's a dog on defense. So

475
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: like me and him being a fresh only two freshmen

476
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: on Houston, I feel like big things are coming.

477
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So this next section is called fact or fiction.

478
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna say to you a claim or sort

479
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: of an idea, and you have to tell me.

480
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 3: Whether you agree or not. Okay, claim staph are the

481
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 3: best backcourt of all time.

482
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll probably say fact because they you know what

483
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: they did in four championships. They created they changed the

484
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: game of basketball. Splash Brothers, that's forever a legacy. So

485
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: I feel like clan stuff, they definitely could be up

486
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: there for one of the best backwards all the time.

487
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 3: Okay, I agree with that one.

488
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

489
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: Next, Paul George will fit in with the Sixers hm M.

490
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: I feel like PG would definitely fit anywhere. His game

491
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: is silky smooth. He's I mean, he's just a pros pro.

492
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: So I feel like him and Philly would be great.

493
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 3: Wemby will finish his career as a top ten player

494
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: of all time.

495
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah a fact. Yeah, for sure.

496
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: The Thunder will win a CHIP in the next three years.

497
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: Shout out my guy, cheat. Yeah, Thunder, they got it. Probably,

498
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: uh probably next year. The all the additions they got, Yeah,

499
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: they're looking really good. So for sure.

500
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Johannest will stay a box for his whole career.

501
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: Hm hmmm, probably, I think fiction. I feel like he

502
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: might go somewhere he's from the Warriors, but that's just

503
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: that would be crazy.

504
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 3: That would be crazy. Okay. Lastly, Jason Tatum will win

505
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: an MVP Award.

506
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I think. I think that's the fact he

507
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: got it. He's I feel like after this season, Uh,

508
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: they won a championship, so I feel like he's He's

509
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: got a lot a lot more confidence probably now, and

510
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: I feel like he's been one of the best players,

511
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: so I feel like why not. Okay, I like that.

512
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: Lastly, we're gonna do some trivia, but this trivia isn't

513
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: just NBA trivia.

514
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: This trivia has to do with you. So let's see

515
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 3: how well Mercy knows Mercy.

516
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: So for those of you who don't know, but you

517
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 2: shouldn't know, Mercy's last name is Miller all time?

518
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: How many NBA players have had the last name Miller.

519
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: That's Reggie, Mike. Let me guess. I feel like Miller's

520
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: a Miller. Probably probably twelve twenty.

521
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: That was I mean, that was closer than when you

522
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 3: first named too. That's okay. Next, Currently, how many players

523
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: have the last name Miller currently? And can you name

524
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: them all?

525
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: I know Brandon, yes, I don't know who else? Okay? Two? Yeah, three?

526
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so you go at one point and then yeah,

527
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: you're at like one of three quarters because the other

528
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: two guys are Leonard Miller in Jordan Miller.

529
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: But soon four it's gonna be Mercy obviously. Okay. Your

530
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: dad played for two non NBA pro basketball teams. Name

531
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: the teams?

532
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Uh? You said none?

533
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 3: Like obviously he tried out for the Raptors and the Hornets,

534
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 3: but like, yes, see exactly.

535
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: I think he talked about a team in San Diego.

536
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it's some San Diego team.

537
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: I'll give you the leagues. One of them was in

538
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: the CBA, and one of them was in the ABA.

539
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean lost let me tell you.

540
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, the CBA fort Wayne Fury, okay, and the

541
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: ABA Las Vegas Rattlers.

542
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: So you better go home and you ask him how

543
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 3: that's how that was.

544
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

545
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: In your sixty eight point game against.

546
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: Oakwood, what did you shoot my life fieldgal your field

547
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: goal or actually actual like fraction?

548
00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was probably twenty eight, not yeah,

549
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight for I don't think I got to forty

550
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: maybe forty one, No, thirty twenty eight for forty one.

551
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: Oh so close.

552
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: It's twenty eight for thirty eight thirty eighth. I mean,

553
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: first off, that's insane. But okay, so you get like

554
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: half a point on that cause you know twenty eighth.

555
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, I.

556
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: Know it's twenty eight in there, So right now you're

557
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: like it like two and a half points. I guess

558
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be generous.

559
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: I'm at this game. No you're not.

560
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: But that's okay. This is my last question for you,

561
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: So let's see how this goes. In that same game

562
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: where you scored sixty eight points, you broke your school's

563
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: record for most points in a game at Notre Dame

564
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: High School?

565
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: Whose record did you break?

566
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,840

00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: I know it's sixty six.

568

00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: But who his name was? Richard? No?

Speaker 3: Do you just say a random name from like his

571
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 3: name is like not common. It's like like think about Okay,
