0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of those guys. Man. I remember just a few years

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>ago when I was coaching, uh with the Truth the

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.199
<v Speaker 1>six teams, and you were playing with the youth team.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I used to come to your games. You boogie fresh,

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.920

<v Speaker 1>so live back then. You played with the energy and

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>a focus that was just well beyond your years. How

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>much did your youth basketball experience of that crew playing

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for your dad and on the circuit in l A.

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>How much did that contribute to your development as a

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>basketball player? Um? I say a lot because still not

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to this day, I'm still cool those guys and then

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, now I'm still my dad's still coaching me.

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>So it just brings uh better karterie between embody? Oh

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>absolutely do you now? Do you see? I remember when

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you guys used to be in the gym, man, and

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you know you'd be running those steps right behind you

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>with medicine balls. Then you be coming down to a

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>push ups and lifted ways to do it all kind

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. You guys were like ten, eleven, twelve years old.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking myself, dag man, these dudes in a

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>few years are gonna be tough. Do you see now

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that the fruits of hard work and all of your

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>labor came to freition? You see why you're doing all

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>that stuff? Jack? Oh? Yeah for sure. And now like

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>even how I see the uh the results, I'm trying

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.679
<v Speaker 1>to still do it more, work out more. I asked them,

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 1>just like a couple of days ago, if I can

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>get in their gym, so I was like standing in

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the gym a lot. Yeah, that's the best batman. The

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>gym rats. Uh, the gym rats are the ones that

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>get it done. You guys have played a pretty tough

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>schedule this season. You've played some really good teams and

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>some high level tournaments around Southern California. What team and

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.760

<v Speaker 1>that was a tough match up, very exciting one. I

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.520

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>five star, you know what I mean, going ahead to head.

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.880

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta turn it up an extra level to really get off.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Is there anybody like that for you? Um? Yeah, he

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>went to Oaklad, I don't I don't know his name,

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>but it was his closed number thirty two from Oakwood. Yeah, okay,

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>number thirty two from Oakwood. Yeah. I asked my man,

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Oland Simplest, who's an assistant coach over there. I asked

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Big Old about number thirty two, but shouts out to

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>number thirty two. You got some props from j Crow Jr. Man.

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>What made you fall in love with this game of basketball?

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Just being Ronnie Young? You know, seeing my dad play

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 1>this and made me want to do it as well. Yeah. Now,

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>when you're around the game, man, and you're in the

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>gym all the time, there's no doubt that you have

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 1>to love. When at what point do you feel like

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>during your growing up. Did you say, you know what,

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I really want to go after this basketball thing, Like

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I really think that I could do something in it.

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>When did you lock in J two? Probably when I

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>was like seven. That's why I really started like loving it.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 1>So the first couple of years it was like I

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>was doing it to impress me my dad. But after

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>after a while, I was like, I started really loving you.

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>So seven years old, you fell in love with the game.

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>You decided to, Hey, I'm gonna start taking this thing seriously.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Was there any players that you were around when you

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>were younger, guys on the truth or college or high

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 1>school that you saw that influenced you, that may motivated you,

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that made you want to, you know, keep hooping and

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>go hard. Uh My guy U C l A. Haimi

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Hacks Jr. And uh Er right now, Janie Shackford, you

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 1>need my main two guys I already hang out with

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>getting to motivated the Shame and Jim Oh himI and

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Shock were or too high level basketball players. Those aren't

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>bad guys to have that you look up to. Um,

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>what about the college other than him and you mentioned

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 1>Shackle for the G League? Are there are other college

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>players or NBA players that whose game that you absolutely

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>love and kind of you know, you study or watch film.

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Really in college, I don't really watch the player. I

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.799
<v Speaker 1>watched the team because college is more of a team game.

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I already watched Katie uh, Yoki Yoki, k D and Janna.

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>So those are all sort of guys six eleven that

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 1>were in above. Are there any Is there anybody around

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>your height six three six five six seven that you

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>like that you see play John Moran, Steph Curry, Luca, Yeah,

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Lucas that dude. Man, how about that stuff Luca has

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>been doing men with these easy triple doubles and all

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the scoring prowess fifty sixty. I mean, it's been unbelievable.

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.919
<v Speaker 1>I've heard someone make the comparison of you to a

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>guy by the name of Kenny Anderson is a left

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>handed point guard, and and another guy we all know

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>named Steph Curry. Here a combination of Kitty Edison is

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Steph Kurry. Where people give you these accolades when they

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>say these kind of lofty expectations or say these crazy things,

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.239
<v Speaker 1>and compare you to guys that really put it down

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>in the n b A or and above. How does

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that make you feel how do you handle that type

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>of attention. I try not to think about it too

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>much because they're not just a distraction, but I think, uh,

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>it's still like I like that they're noticing me and

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>uh putting me next to those guys. No, yeah, that's

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>a big time thing for them to notice you, and

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I would take it with a lot of pride um

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>that someone really sees that in you. I try to

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>stay away from comparison, especially at this age, because I

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like you have so much more to go. I

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>think you're you're unique and you and you have your

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>own sort of game. I haven't seen a player quite

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>like you that is able to finish through contact. I

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>wanted to talk to you about that. You seem like

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>when contact comes knocking on your door, you have no

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>problem with it. You actually are welcoming and it seems

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>like it gives you a little up so you you

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and ones to even the perimeter defense. When guys are

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>bodying you, when you're pushing it up full court, you're

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>still just like, oh, and you play right through it.

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Where did you get that stripped? Because you're you know,

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>you're you're fourteen years old and to be on the

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>high school level. Playing this type of strong man game

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.679
<v Speaker 1>is very unique. Where'd you get your strength? I stayed

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>playing my day in the backyard because he used to

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>always push me around because I'm always younger. He was

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>bigger than me, so like he alway used to push

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>me around, just trying to help me finish the contract.

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's man, I have. I have experiences playing against

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>my dad as well. Man, I played my dad all

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.319
<v Speaker 1>throughout high school. He never let me beat him. And

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>my dad was six seven about two forty. He was

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to make a comeback to the NBA, so I

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>was sort of like his workout partner while he was

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>making his comeback. Man, And I'll tell you what what

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>that did for my game. I can't even put into

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>words because when I started playing against regular dudes my age,

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, it almost seemed easy. But I won't say easy,

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>but it just didn't see like it was very difficult

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>because I've been playing against a grown man. Have you

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>been able to beat your dad and once? Yet? Yeah,

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.079
<v Speaker 1>I beat him before. Oh really, that's not what he said.

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:15.319
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't want to play me anymore, so you beat him?

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>So wait, so you wasn't the two point game? Was

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 1>it by one? I mean, how did what was the

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.240
