1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: The volume. Hi, I'm Sloan and I know basketball. Today's

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: guest started as a three star recruit in high school

3
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: and is now a ten year MBA veteran. His journey

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: from hooping in LA to earning first team All Conference

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: at Colorado and now playing for his hometown Los Angeles Lakers,

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: is this story you won't want to miss. So let's

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: get to know Spencer. Get with it. Okay, So Spencer,

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm sixteen, which I'm sure for you those a really

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: long time ago. But I need you to think back

10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: to when you were sixteen and tell me what you

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: were like personality.

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: By I mean not to age myself sixteens, like half

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: my life will go.

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: I guess, uh, you know.

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean I was with a sophomore junior in high

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: school at that time. I was kind of starting to

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: come to I was a basketball player. I understand I

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: was probably gonna, you know, at least be able to

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: go to Division one. So yeah, I mean, I think

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: there was a lot of maturation in growth that kind

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: of was happening at that time.

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: And you know, but I was still in a normal

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: high school experience.

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: It seems like you're traveling the world and living out

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: your dream already.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it is really cool. So it's sixteen. Obviously

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: you grew up in Woodland Hills, which, for those of

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: you who don't know, is basically a little bit outside

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. But at least being in that area,

30
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: do you have any relationships with any NBA players?

31
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: So actually, you know, I grew up in like in

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: the heart of LA like oh Okay, in like south

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: central area. I mean by the time about sixteen, though,

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: I was living in around like View Park, which is

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: close to Cover City. My bus out to.

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: Tap the Woodland Hills there.

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I went to high school with Larry Drew,

38
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: ended up, you know, having a couple of stints in

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: the NBA. You ended up crossing paths with a lot

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: of guys just in the high school au circuit anyway.

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: But I wasn't like super heralded, and I didn't have,

42
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: you know, anybody in my family that was in NBA

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: or anything like that, so I didn't get to kind

44
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: of get you know, ushered in or gloomed into that,

45
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: you know situation.

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Have you always been a Laker sent? Yeah, so your

47
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: sixteen year old self would be like this would be crazy.

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 2: Oh, no, listen, if you could have told my sixteen

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: year old self that, hey, in your tenthyon NBA, you're

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: gonna play for Lakers and and all that stuff like that,

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: you he would have took whatever consequences came with that.

52
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: He took both ACL tears, all of THO stuff be here.

53
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well I'll do it.

54
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: So I heard that in high school and now, obviously

55
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: you're really smart. How did you balance being a student

56
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: and an athlete? And I guess what advice can you

57
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: give to kids that are trying to balance that student

58
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: athlete life?

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I mean I cred my mom a lot.

60
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: She got PAGY from USC, She's she's brilliant, stressed academics early.

61
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: I'd like to think I'm fairly in touch, and so

62
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: school kind of came easy. I was able to, you know,

63
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: get good grades with effort, but not not too too

64
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: much effort. I think what I really sacrificed growing up

65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: was just social life and that stuff. I think, you know,

66
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: you can kind of pick too, you know, basketball, school,

67
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: having fun, and so I just delayed my fun into Yeah,

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: you know, I got an NBA basically, you know that

69
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: kind of sort of back half of college back a

70
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 2: couple of years college, Like I did have a little

71
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: bit of fun like junior in college, but other than that, no,

72
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: I mean I pretty much had that delayed gratification mentality

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, just stuck with what would give

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: me far in life.

75
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So after high school, what was the thought process

76
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: with choosing Colorado? I know, you had an offer from Harvard,

77
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: which is obviously a non traditional path to go down,

78
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people now are starting

79
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: to sort of try the IVY route and you know,

80
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: they want to be that first option for How did

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: that go for you?

82
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: Basically?

83
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: I mean, again, my my academics were pretty solid, So

84
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: you had some of those prestigious schools on that side

85
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: looking at me. I got pretty much most of the

86
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: pact to offer, along with obviously Harvard, But the differentiating

87
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: factor between most of the PAC.

88
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: Twelve Colorado and Harvard was Colin.

89
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: Harvard really just stressed like, hey, we love you. It's

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: going to be a centerpiece of you know, our recruiting class.

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: You're going to be the guy that we want. And

92
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: then it came when it came down of those two schools,

93
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: I really just had in my mind that I wanted

94
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: to go to the draft early. You know, at the time,

95
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: I know I wasn't gonna be one and done. I

96
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: wasn't McDonald's America or anything like that. But I really,

97
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: in my in my heart believed I could do two

98
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: years and lead, and there just wasn't a precedent for

99
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: somebody doing that for an IVY league. So I knew

100
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: if I would go to the Patrol of Conference, play

101
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: against the best players, show my talent against them, that

102
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: I might have a chance to leave after two years.

103
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what are your thoughts as a Colorado alumni

104
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: and coach Prime coming and taking over.

105
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: It's epic. It's epic.

106
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: I went back, caught a couple of games, I got

107
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: to meet him, talk to him a little bit.

108
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 3: You know, he's he's an inspiring guy. I see how

109
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: he's termed the program around.

110
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm excited to be a part of it.

111
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: Like I loved every second going back.

112
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, super cool. So I guess now we jumped around.

113
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: We were talking about college, but I want to go

114
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: back to high school for a little bit. So you

115
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: were a three star and you were ranked one hundred

116
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: and twenty eighth nationally in high school, which is not

117
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: necessarily a common route for a guy who's now been

118
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: in the NBA for ten years, what advice would you

119
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: give to high school athletes wh or not top ten,

120
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: top one hundred recruits, but want to succeed in their sport.

121
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I think being realistic with your game. I

122
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: think you know, for me, I grew gradually. I wasn't

123
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: very athletic, so I had to gain a lot of

124
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: skills and versatility. I think as I was able to

125
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 2: get taller, stronger, and more athletic, that's kind of my

126
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: game blossom. So that's why I was kind of a

127
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: late bloomer in that standpoint in terms of high school.

128
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, the more you can be realistic

129
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: with your craft, work hard every day, aboually develop a routine,

130
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: but just never be.

131
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: Too big for any role. Yeah, I think that's how

132
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: you last ten years in the league.

133
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: I've been everywhere from a first option to literally the

134
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: fifteenth option. Guy doesn't dress and it is about to

135
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: get cut, so you know, and each role one through

136
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: fifteen has its own challenges that you have.

137
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: To prepare for.

138
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: I love that also, So I know in your class

139
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: of those all those you know, one hundred and twenty

140
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: seven recruits above me, there was Michael Carter, Williams, Anthony Davis,

141
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: et cetera. Growing up in the AU circuit, Can you

142
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: tell us a story about playing a guy like that?

143
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: I mean, my best AU story is probably when we

144
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: won the Adida Super sixty four going into my senior year. Yeah,

145
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: I mean we played like Memphis Elite and the other

146
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: guys that were big time at the time. You know,

147
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: we were kind of an unholded secondary pump and run

148
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: team from California.

149
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: Was able to win.

150
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: I know, now it's like all eybl on Nike circuit

151
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: and stuff, But back then the Adida circuit, like it

152
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: was like, what was it, Dida's big time Super sixty four.

153
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: Then there's one in LMU that I can't remember the

154
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: name of. We're like the big time terms at the team.

155
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: So it was the equivalent of like when eybl type

156
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: of thing.

157
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the way that sort of

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: AU basketball has evolved into this now like crazy thing

159
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: on social media and everyone knows these kids before they

160
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: even make it anywhere really close to it.

161
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I think in terms of exposure, it's dope, right,

162
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: Like you want everybody to be able to expand their

163
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: brand or get their money, capitalize on name and likeness

164
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. I think for the priority of

165
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: or the prioritization of the end game experience, I think

166
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: it's kind of trash now because I've seen, you know,

167
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: some guys like let guys go get dugs and you know,

168
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: so they can get their high through sixty you know

169
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Ducks on the break stuff like that,

170
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: Like you know, coming up, we played to win.

171
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.

172
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: And that was just it, like you just you went

173
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: out there, you tried to win the game you want

174
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: or lost, whatever it was, you try to learn get better.

175
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: Like it was kind of a simple formula.

176
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: We didn't have as much outside noise, and we weren't

177
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: giving guys breakaway ducks like yeah, you know, just so

178
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: they could get their you know, mixtape off or whatever

179
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: like so, so to me, that's something that i'd love

180
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: to see change for sure.

181
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think on that note, something interesting is

182
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: like it's like guys are playing for themselves on their

183
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: teams exactly, you know, because they want to shine, not

184
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: their team. But it's a team small.

185
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't be wrong.

186
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: There's always gonna be an element of that, right, Like

187
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: like in the NBA now everywhere you go, like everybody

188
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: wants to do well, you know what I'm saying, But

189
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: you have to understand your role and try to be

190
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: a star in that as well for the collective's success,

191
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: because you know, rising tide raises off ships, you know,

192
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: And like I said, there's been times where I've averaged

193
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: twenty in the league and a sixteen point a game

194
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: or a sixteen point game might be considered bad.

195
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: And obviously we lose, and you know, I have to

196
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: be better.

197
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: Whereas like you know, I've been again the six seventh

198
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: eight guy, whatever you come in, you get sixteen points,

199
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: you probably played really well, you're super efficient, you help

200
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: your team win. It's the same number, but different context,

201
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: and so guys gotta understand that.

202
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I liked hearing about you at sixteen. Again,

203
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: that was so long ago, I know, almost not your

204
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: life ago. I feel like I really got to know

205
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: you as a sixteen year old. I don't know if

206
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: we would be friends. I feel like maybe about Yeah, okay,

207
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: now I want to know about you now. So, Spencer,

208
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: what was your eye made it moment. I made it

209
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: moment the head scratcher quite literally.

210
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that that's tough. I mean I haven't really

211
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: dwelled in uh and some of the accomplishments. I mean,

212
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: I probably.

213
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: Go back to maybe my game winners against Detroit, which

214
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: probably came in my fourth year in the NBA, maybe

215
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: just because of everything that had gone on. You know,

216
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: my first year is not playing it all pretty much

217
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: getting cut you know, and deallely signed to Brooklyn all

218
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: sort of stuff, and then you know, to come back

219
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 2: play the Pistons.

220
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: Now I had to be my fourth year. I think

221
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: it was my third year because I signed late.

222
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: That year, but yeah, probably my fourth year and having

223
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: the game winners one in the in Little Caesars and

224
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: and you know, a couple of big shots in Barclays

225
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: as well, probably was what I really felt like, you know, actually, let.

226
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: Me take that back, let me take that back.

227
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: Yes, those were big time os where I felt like

228
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: solidified in the NBA. But probably the one game that

229
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: I can remember in Detroit that I remember being like

230
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: I belong was against the Wizards. Ironically, John Wall well,

231
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: just a podcast within something like that, you know, at

232
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: the time it was one of the best point guards

233
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: in the league and kind of.

234
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: Look up to. I think that was like my first

235
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: twenty point game or something. I would say that was cool.

236
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: I like tiped dunk my own missing that game and stuff.

237
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: It was.

238
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: It was kind of cool. Yeah.

239
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: I saw the John Whole podcast. He said, you're gonna

240
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: sleep for a year after retired, Like, I are.

241
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: You being for rip? Do you think, yeah, you're.

242
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: Like a man caven like Hibernate y?

243
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: Ok, yeah, No, like like you said, I mean, think

244
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: about it.

245
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: I climbed from what one twenty eight my high school

246
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: class to even get to the spots and things and

247
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: now tend your career, and you know, that's that's been

248
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: an odyssey of itself. You know where things have happened

249
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: that haven't necessarily been the greatest, and you know, now.

250
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, when it's all done, ye, I'm gonna take it

251
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: a nice little siesta.

252
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: So obviously, the free agency process is something that you're

253
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: very familiar with, and people in and around the league

254
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: are very familiar with. But US fans we have so

255
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: much to say about it and sort of don't really

256
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: know what actually goes into it. When you are looking

257
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: at teams and talking to them. What are green flags

258
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: that you look for?

259
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: Green flags? I think, you know obviously when they have

260
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: a specific plan for you, you know, and then you

261
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: look around the roster, it doesn't seem to be like

262
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: conflicting messages.

263
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.

264
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes and this hasn't necessarily happened to me because I

265
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: was mostly in free agency.

266
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: Just like one major times, yeah, U nles' say.

267
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: They have three centers on the roster and then they

268
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: promise you know, another saying that they're going to start

269
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: or something like that.

270
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 3: It's like that makes sense, you know, So you know,

271
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: some of that goes on.

272
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: I think obviously, you know, you definitely want the financial

273
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: component to be whatever you want it to be in

274
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: terms of market value. Then you gotta look at like

275
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 2: living areas, uh, you know, is it is it conducive

276
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: to whatever lifestyle you enjoy?

277
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Your vocabulary is like insane. I'm like half these words

278
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: and you're saying, like I have not learned with those people.

279
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

280
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: It just it just blends well okay, okay, you know,

281
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: for example, let's.

282
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: Say you wanted to party like I think Miami's probably yeah, okay, oh,

283
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: Miami's yes.

284
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think, uh, it's just a multitude effective.

285
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: So I want saw a story where Shaq said he

286
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: had signed the team mid season and he like broke

287
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: the record for the amount of money I don't know,

288
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: spent in Walmart in one day or something because he

289
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: just moved to the city. So he like bought like TVs,

290
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: like food, refrigerators, et cetera in the first forty eight

291
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: hours that you signed with the Lakers. What went into

292
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: that whole process?

293
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I just I mean I just got it jet

294
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: and came home. I didn't break any Walmart rules. I mean,

295
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: obviously I already had this house. Yeah, I'm from here,

296
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: so you know when I signed, I mean I should

297
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: have a house and does too. But both of those

298
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: places were like home. So when it was come in

299
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: time for that kind of decision, Yeah, that's really all

300
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: I was doing was just going back to the crib

301
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: basically and just trying to like reset, regroup, take a

302
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: split second to kind of refocus, and then yeah, figure

303
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: out what that team needs for me, and dive in.

304
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: Cool. So you're playing the Calves on Saturday, walk us

305
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: through your preparation process for that game, or I guess

306
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: any game, whatever.

307
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: Tim would have been.

308
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that one's a little bit

309
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: interesting because that's a new game. So you know, I

310
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: probably have to get there eight or nine in the morning,

311
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: so you know, I'll be up relatively early.

312
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll probably just be smooth before that game. Nothing

313
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: too crazy.

314
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: What's your smoothie order?

00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if you like Korean barbecue.

360
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: And which NBA fandom is the craziest to play.

361
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: Against to me, probably the Knicks, just because I had

362
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: like beef with them for so long because like when

363
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: I was in Brooklyn the first time, they were ass.

364
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 3: So I used to troll them all the time because.

365
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: You got to remember, like in terms of prestige and franchise,

366
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: like of course the Nets and a little brother to

367
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: the Knicks, but we was really whooping the ass, you

368
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: feel me, So they would talk crazy and it's like, yo,

369
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: y'all haven't been good for a long time. So then

370
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: when I got back the tables, that kind of turned

371
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: and they were giving me hell.

372
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean you didn't Spike ever get into it?

373
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: No, No, me and Spike never got into it. I

374
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: don't think Spike was invested enough at the time because like.

375
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: They they weren't.

376
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Like I don't have like thirty point games

377
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 2: in the Guard and stuff like walk off dunks, and

378
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: ship like, yeah they weren't.

379
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: Yeah they suck In the next five years. Who do

380
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: you think is going to be the stace of the

381
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: league and why?

382
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: I hope it's Anthony Edwards because man, that boy good.

383
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: He's nice and he's got a he's.

384
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: Got his personality. It's just like, yeah, he's.

385
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: He's funny, but he's got like a streak to him

386
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: where he wants to take on the challenge.

387
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

388
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: I think a lot of guys, don't you know. I

389
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: think a lot of guys they'll play offense. So I

390
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: played the offense date like Anthony Edwards game of line

391
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: wants to stop the best guy.

392
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, it's some of that old school throwback Kobe

393
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: type type.

394
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: Stuff or what you know, the rumors about MJ being

395
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: his dad? I did.

396
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 3: So.

397
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 1: You played on five different teams in your career with

398
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: some pretty incredible teammates. Can you give us your starting

399
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: five of your best ever teammates? Oh?

400
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: Man, uh.

401
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: Luca for shows in there at the one. Uh Bron

402
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: is definitely my four.

403
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 3: KDS, my three a DS, my five. I didn't really

404
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: play with James.

405
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: You feel me like we on the same team, But

406
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 2: I didn't really play with him, So I mean I

407
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: would probably have to go Kyrie.

408
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: At the two.

409
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: No, Jalen Brunson love.

410
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 3: Over over Kyrie's at two.

411
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Like probably as a one, I.

412
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: Might be able to give j B to nine I think,

413
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: you know, but as a two, like I don't understand

414
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: Kyrie at the at the two is it's tough. Like

415
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 2: if Kyrie was like six seven, it'd be a it'd

416
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: be a different style of conversation through in Dallas.

417
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: Obviously, Jayn Brunson wasn't the same player that he is

418
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: now in New York. But could you I know you

419
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: only played with him for a year, but could you

420
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: guys see that like he had something like cooking in

421
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: him like he was going to be a star star.

422
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if I don't know if I'm gonna

423
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: go with star, but like you definitely saw it. I

424
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 2: mean when we when he got those Lucas style possessions

425
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: when we were in the first round against Utah, like

426
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: we were beating Utah without Luca.

427
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

428
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Some of that is like that was running through him.

429
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

430
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know in that series, obviously you could

431
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: see like Okay, this guy could really like run a team.

432
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: He could score at a big time level. I think

433
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 3: he had forty in one of the games. So you

434
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: just knew like some of that.

435
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's also Dallas offense because like, man, they they

436
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: make it easy on the guard over there.

437
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: Well just to let that, but yeah, no JB. JB's cold.

438
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: JB's super cold.

439
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So during your NBA career all ten years, was

440
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: been the hardest player you've had to.

441
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: Guard, probably prime James Harden s Houston James Harden. Yeah,

442
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: that's yeah, because he was like.

443
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: I hope many seasons to understand what I'm saying, but

444
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 2: he was like fact quick, like.

445
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: No, I'm telling you, really strong as hell, but he's

446
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: like he was really quick.

447
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 2: So all that like like lawyer to sleep, lawyer to sleep,

448
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: tweet and tween tween twins and they'd hit that sharp

449
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: cross and if he shifts you, he gets you on

450
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, on his hip, You're not

451
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: you're not getting around him.

452
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: And then obviously we all know about the step back. Yeah,

453
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: he got the leg hitting the whole nine. It's four

454
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: point play.

455
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: And you know when you go back five years or so,

456
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: when he was doing all that sweep through stuff.

457
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: They was conned every time.

458
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he gets like yeah, like now they don't really

459
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 2: give it to him and say skinny er. I mean

460
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: he wasn't ever skinny for real, but you know, like

461
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: he would do that. He didn't hit in the game

462
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: with twenty free throws fifteen threes, yeah, you know, taking.

463
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: Obviously not not made because that'd be insane. Yeah, you know,

464
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 3: so like, how are you gonna stop that shot? P

465
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: file Like he's gonna make eighteen out of twenty free throws.

466
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: He's already in a rhythm. If he makes seven out

467
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: the you know, twenty or seven out to fifteen threes,

468
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: he's already damn at forty points. Yeah, it's crazy, I

469
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 3: hear you.

470
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: So now, obviously you're Lebron's teammate. What is one behind

471
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,399

Speaker 1: like I mean, I'll give you sometimes, I'll give you

551
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: like half points. We'll see how that goes. Okay, what

552
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: was your high school GPA?

553
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 3: Uh? I think it was three point four?

554
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: Actually, is three point two? Really? Over one? Okay? In

555
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: your first ever college game, Colorado beat Fort Lewis by

556
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: how many points?

557
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it was up by like a million

558
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 3: in the game, but maybe won by fourteen.

559
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna give you one more guess because the

560
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: a million was closer than the fourteen.

561
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty two?

562
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Oh okay, thirty five, thirty five, that's like I have

563
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: a point. So okay, you're at point five. I guess

564
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: In your sophomore season in Colorado, how many games did

565
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: you start?

566
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: That's got old?

567
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but how many games was that? Oh?

568
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 3: Shit?

569
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 2: The college season is usually if you're good, you go

570
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: like twenty three and ten thirty three?

571
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 3: Yes, hey, look at.

572
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: That one point five points? Great? Okay. In your first

573
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: NBA season with the Pistons, what was your season high

574
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: in minutes?

575
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 3: My first shit, my first season should have had the

576
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 3: twenty point game. So this is no. I know, I

577
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: know I'm saying. So that means I at least hit

578
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: thirty minutes. Uh So I'm gonna go with no, no, no,

579
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go twenty eight.

580
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: Oh, so goes twenty nine that Lake Hassidy. That's sweet. Credit,

581
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. That was good. I gotta and I

582
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: could see like this and they were yell okay, So

583
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: like two points. I feel like that's like basically where

584
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: we're at in twenty nineteen to twenty twenty. You average

585
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: the most points in your career with the nets. How

586
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: many points did do you average per game? But I

587
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: want to be like exact to the decimal, like my

588
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: math teacher would be, like, you have to wrap, you know,

589
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: or else it.

590
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: Does not count. I know roughly what it was, but

591
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go twenty point six.

592
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: Spetzer, Okay, yes that is Rex.

593
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 3: I always say twenty one, so I remember it was

594
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 3: open twenty point.

595
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: Five, which I guess technically if you were to round up,

596
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: it would be twenty one, you know, because we're both

597
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: so smart. So we're doing so we're like three points. Well,

598
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: that's that's much better than most people I've been doing.

599
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, even though you didn't go to Harvard, you

600
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: have a Harvard brains.

601
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: Wow, that's that's score. I remember now sixty hundred.

602
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: Yes, I saw that. There was an article written in

603
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: the Harvard Crimson about how you out of fourteen hundred

604
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: and can you actually tutor me? I'm doing my suffering

605
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: now I need some tutoring.

606
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: Fun fact, I took that my freshman year high school

607
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: and took it again.

608
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

609
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 3: That's why.

610
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: That's why I didn't take the twenty four hundred and one,

611
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,239
Speaker 2: because like by my junior year, they said if I

612
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 2: took it again and then I have to do that one.

613
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I'll just live at that score.

614
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: No, okay, how many threes?

615
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

616
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: Sorry this season? How many threes did you average per game?

00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: Or how many threes have you averaged per game?

618
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: Uh? Taken or made?

619
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: No? Made two? Well to the decimal.

620
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: Fucking one point eight?

621
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my gosh. Yeah, it's the best well nos

622
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: trivia of all time.

623
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: Wow.

624
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: Okay, this well, we'll see you a good memory. I

625
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: think you can get this. You were drafted thirty eighth

626
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,600
