00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: of stuff. You guys were like ten, eleven, twelve years old.

75
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Oland Simplest, who's an assistant coach over there. I asked

Speaker 1: Just being Ronnie Young? You know, seeing my dad play

80
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: this and made me want to do it as well. Yeah. Now,

81
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: when you're around the game, man, and you're in the

82
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: gym all the time, there's no doubt that you have

83
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: to love. When at what point do you feel like

84
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: during your growing up. Did you say, you know what,

85
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: I really want to go after this basketball thing, Like

86
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: I really think that I could do something in it.

87
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: When did you lock in J two? Probably when I

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,200

00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: So seven years old, you fell in love with the game.

93
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: You decided to, Hey, I'm gonna start taking this thing seriously.

94
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: Was there any players that you were around when you

00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: were younger, guys on the truth or college or high

96
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: school that you saw that influenced you, that may motivated you,

97
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,320

108
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: Really in college, I don't really watch the player. I

109
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 1: watched the team because college is more of a team game.

110
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: I already watched Katie uh, Yoki Yoki, k D and Janna.

111
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: So those are all sort of guys six eleven that

Speaker 1: like that you see play John Moran, Steph Curry, Luca, Yeah,

115
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: Lucas that dude. Man, how about that stuff Luca has

116
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: been doing men with these easy triple doubles and all

117
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: the scoring prowess fifty sixty. I mean, it's been unbelievable.

118
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: I've heard someone make the comparison of you to a

119
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Kenny Anderson is a left

120
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: handed point guard, and and another guy we all know

121
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: named Steph Curry. Here a combination of Kitty Edison is

122
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: Steph Kurry. Where people give you these accolades when they

123
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: say these kind of lofty expectations or say these crazy things,

124
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: and compare you to guys that really put it down

125
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: in the n b A or and above. How does

126
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: that make you feel how do you handle that type

127
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: of attention. I try not to think about it too

128
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: much because they're not just a distraction, but I think, uh,

129
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: it's still like I like that they're noticing me and

130
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: uh putting me next to those guys. No, yeah, that's

131
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: a big time thing for them to notice you, and

132
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I would take it with a lot of pride um

133
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: that someone really sees that in you. I try to

134
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: stay away from comparison, especially at this age, because I

135
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: feel like you have so much more to go. I

136
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: think you're you're unique and you and you have your

137
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: own sort of game. I haven't seen a player quite

138
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: like you that is able to finish through contact. I

139
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to you about that. You seem like

140
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: when contact comes knocking on your door, you have no

141
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: problem with it. You actually are welcoming and it seems

142
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: like it gives you a little up so you you

143
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: and ones to even the perimeter defense. When guys are

144
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: bodying you, when you're pushing it up full court, you're

145
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: still just like, oh, and you play right through it.

146
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: Where did you get that stripped? Because you're you know,

147
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: you're you're fourteen years old and to be on the

148
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: high school level. Playing this type of strong man game

149
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: is very unique. Where'd you get your strength? I stayed

150
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: playing my day in the backyard because he used to

151
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: always push me around because I'm always younger. He was

152
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: bigger than me, so like he alway used to push

153
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: me around, just trying to help me finish the contract.

154
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: So that's man, I have. I have experiences playing against

155
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: my dad as well. Man, I played my dad all

156
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: throughout high school. He never let me beat him. And

157
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: my dad was six seven about two forty. He was

158
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: trying to make a comeback to the NBA, so I

159
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: was sort of like his workout partner while he was

160
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: making his comeback. Man, And I'll tell you what what

161
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: that did for my game. I can't even put into

162
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: words because when I started playing against regular dudes my age,

163
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: Oh man, it almost seemed easy. But I won't say easy,

164
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: but it just didn't see like it was very difficult

165
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: because I've been playing against a grown man. Have you

166
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: been able to beat your dad and once? Yet? Yeah,

167
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: I beat him before. Oh really, that's not what he said.

168
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to play me anymore, so you beat him?

169
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: So wait, so you wasn't the two point game? Was

170
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: it by one? I mean, how did what was the

171
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: score of that game? Because I gotta double check this.

172
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: We played rounds to seven? Oh that's the three okay, okay, okay?

173
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: And how did you beat him? Was it all jumper game?

174
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: Or did you did you try to drive to the

175
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: rack this day? Really? Mitties? I had hell all meties

176
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: because he wouldn't let me, so he went to the middies.

177
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice, man, that's nice. Let's flip to school, man, Um.
