1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Sloan and I know the NBA. Today we're

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: hanging out with one of the NBA's most incredible big man.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: He's not just tall, he's a towering figure of shot

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: blocking wizardry and dunking prows. And guess what. His journey

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: from being a young, wide eyed athlete to an absolute

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: NBA sensation is a story that's all about hard work,

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: bouncing back from setbacks, and flying high above that rip.

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: This week, We're Soaked introduce you to Lob City legend

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan. So DeAndre. As you know, Halloween is coming up,

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. I feel like for a teenage girl,

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: that's like the best time of year for sure. And

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: I want to know, if you could dress up as

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: one NBA player for Halloween, who would you dress up as?

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's a really good question. If I could dress

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: up as one pastor.

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Present, pastor present, I'm going to go.

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: With Portland Trailblazer's Bill Walton.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: Okay, and what would you wear?

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: I mean obviously like shorter shorts, jersey hair, beard, headband,

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: high to socks. I think that'll be kind of my

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: uniform that day.

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I love that And can you take us through, like,

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: have you ever seen someone dress up as you? And

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: what did that costume entail?

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: So one year, my brothers and I as adults, dressed

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: up for a Halloween kind of party deal. I went

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: at a have you seen Cool Runnings? It's like the

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: Jamaican Bob Sled movie.

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: No. I feel like my generation like hasn't seen any

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: movies anytime anyone asked me if you've seen a movie, I'm.

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: Like, a noe. Oh yeah, I went in this, like yeah,

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: I went is that? And my brother was kind of

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: like being lazy and he was like can I wear this?

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: And I'm like I check and see it and I'm like,

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: oh wow, this is my full uniform. I was like,

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: so sure. So he wore my Clippers jersey shorts. He

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: bought an NBA basketball with him and that was his

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: costume for the night.

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: All Right, So I'm sixteen and I just turned sixteen,

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: So this will be my first episode of Sloan Nos

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: as a sixteen year old, which is really exciting. I

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: think you should be very flattered that you get to

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: be on here for that.

44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: Really, I really appreciate that, you know, sweet sixteen, I'm

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: on the show for this and now I do feel

46
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: humbled to be a part.

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Of this, so thank you, well, thank you so much

48
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: for being here. So at sixteen, what were you like

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: as a basketball player?

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: Wow? I was just figuring out how to run and

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: chew gum at the same time, so it was very

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: It was a learning experience for me. But I think

53
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: that at sixteen I was trying to just take in

54
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: so much information but also still have fun with the

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: sport at the same time, So it was it was

56
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: a fun.

57
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: Time for sure. And then I want to know, you know,

58
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: also at sixteen, other than being a basket player, this

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: is the age you know when you get your license

60
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: in Texas? What was the vibe there? Like, did you

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: get your license just at sixteen? Did you wait?

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: What was going on?

63
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: Well?

64
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to drive as soon as possible, so we

65
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: would do things like my mom would get to our

66
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: street and then let me drive down the street and

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: like park in the driveway. So that was those were

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: like great times. And then someday though that can I

69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: drive today? Can I drive today? And She's like not today,

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: And it was like the world was ending for me.

71
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: But it was it was great, But I did I

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: got the whole permit drivers head. I did that, and

73
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: I I took my driver's head test in a Toyota Corolla.

74
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Love that, Okay.

75
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: Two other students, so that would and I felt bad

76
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: for them because I had to put my seat all

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: the way back so there was like no leg room.

78
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, how did you fit?

79
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

80
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: At sixteen, how tall were you?

81
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: I was about six nine, six ten.

82
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I'm just five four, So hopefully I get

83
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of that grossper you know.

84
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: But I was got to say, girl spurts for girls

85
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: coming late, So you're good, don't even worry about it.

86
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: It's fine, Okay, fingers crossed. But so you pass first time?

87
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: Of course, of course I had. I had a little

88
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: I had a little illegal practice early, like I was saying,

89
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: But I did pass, Yeah, because I was a big

90
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: ten and two I was, you know, but once you

91
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: get on the freeway, that's that's a different beast. You know.

92
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: By the way, this is shocking. In my driver's ed

93
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: everyone kept saying to me, it's ten and two, and

94
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: it's not ten and two actually, I think now it's

95
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: like eleven and three or something. Weird like that, so

96
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: like I hold it like a little bit differently, which

97
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: is really interesting.

98
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, so it's like more more middle staring wheel

99
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: kind of huh.

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is also funny because I don't think I

101
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: can tell time on a clock. I don't know the

102
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: last time I had to tell time on a clock.

103
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: So I'm like eleven in two, Like, I don't even

104
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: know what that means. I'm just putting my hands where. Yes,

105
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: but let's move on. Now that you can drive in

106
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: this like when we're thinking back of you being sixteen,

107
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: that's that's big in your life. You know, now that

108
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: you can drive, I feel like you can grind more.

109
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: You know, you can go to the gym more, etc.

110
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: So what was your high school you know I made

111
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: it moment or when were you like, wow, I'm going

112
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: to make it to the league.

113
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's tough. Well, AAU was a big, big deal.

114
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: The AAU circuit was huge for my age and even

115
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: now coming up in basketball. But I think that I

116
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: had my first AAU like big, big tournament showcase in Houston.

117
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: It was a tournament called the Kingwood Classic and it

118
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: was huge. Teams from all over the nation came out

119
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: and played in this tournament in like the outskirts of Houston,

120
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: and I had a really good game. One game, I

121
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: had a really nice dunk, and that weekend I got

122
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: a ton of scholarship offers, and throughout the rest of

123
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: that weekend a lot of college coaches who were big

124
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame coaches came to see me play. And

125
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: after that summer it was all up for me.

126
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: It was great, I'm sure. And you know, in that

127
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: AU tournament or just an AU tournaments in general, for you,

128
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: can you tell us a story about maybe playing against

129
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: another future NBA star?

130
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, there. The summer circuits are insane. You play

131
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: against guys, and especially in my class, against guys like

132
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, Derrick Rose, Oj Mayo, Eric Gordon,

133
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: who was we got drafted together to the Clipper. So

134
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: I played against all those guys in high school. But

135
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: I will probably say, uh, I was most excited to

136
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: play against a guy like Kevin Love because we played

137
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: the same position. We were in the same high school

138
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: graduating class, so playing against him in the summertime at

139
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,119
Speaker 2: these different camps and tournaments was was really really cool.

140
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: And to say that we're still in the NBA now

141
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: was a great experience.

142
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so special, And what are your thoughts? I know, like,

143
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: to me, Cooper, flag reclassing and just geting a year

144
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: of high school is so interesting, and I feel like

145
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: it's not I mean, it's something we've seen before, right,

146
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: but for someone to be that dominant that he's like,

147
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't even need that year of development. Was that

148
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: ever something that you would have considered or what are

149
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that happening now?

150
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: Well? I think, I mean, if you're talented enough and

151
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: you're physically and mentally ready to take that next step,

152
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: I think why not. However, I think for me coming up,

153
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: I obviously wanted to get to the NBA, but I've

154
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: definitely needed that development, those four years of high school,

155
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: that one year of college. I look back and I'm

156
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: very appreciative and grateful that I got to go to

157
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: college for a year and had that college experience with teammates,

158
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: with friends who I still talk to this day, and

159
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: I just overall I've needed that development to be able

160
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: to get to the next level and be somewhere ready

161
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: to play against these adults.

162
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and speaking you know of those adults at sixteen,

163
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: did you have any relationships with guys already in the

164
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: league or were they foreign to you? Like, were they

165
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: really just gods?

166
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: They were foreign to me? They were definitely foreign to me.

167
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: I remember at a certain time it switched for me

168
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 2: having a favorite team and I just went to having

169
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: favorite players because I didn't want to pick a favorite

170
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: team and not be drafted to that team or just

171
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: like you know, like a connection and it'd be disappointment

172
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: later in the draft. But I think that like seeing

173
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: the guys that I looked up to and they're finally

174
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: being able to play against them did something for my

175
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: confidence and for me as a player.

176
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: And then you know now that we're I want to

177
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: move on a little bit to your NBA career not

178
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: being sixteen anymore. What was it like seeing those guys

179
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: that you thought of as gods now as like your equals.

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: It was a shock, I will say that to be

181
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: able to you know, aize guys like Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O'Neill,

182
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: trying to think who else like Shack, Guys like that,

183
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 2: and then actually be like Lebron seeing him in high school,

184
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: Carmelo Anthony, Guys like that and then to be able

185
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: to play against them and be like, wow, this is

186
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: not just I'm looking at this person's highlights, like this

187
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: is happening in real life, game time situation. So it was.

188
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: It was shocking at first, but then after a while

189
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: you kind of have to go into a okay, like

190
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: I can't look at it that way. I have to

191
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: focus on competing against this person, you know, to lock in. Yeah,

192
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: you have to lock in. And it was an adjustment,

193
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: but a good one. Yeah.

194
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, of course I'm not like a six '

195
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: ten basketball I can relate that a little bit because well, yeah,

196
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, we never know, maybe something crazy will happen.

197
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: But I can definitely relate to that because what I

198
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: always say is that I think, like, I've been so

199
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: lucky to make relationships, you know, with people like you

200
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: and be able to talk to these amazing athletes, and

201
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: whenever I see an NBA player on the court, my

202
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: whole perception change. Yeah, Like, you know, I interviewed I

203
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: interviewed Chris Paul in a in a classroom at UCLA,

204
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: and in that moment I felt so comfortable. I was

205
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: like I got this whatever, And then I saw him

206
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: on the court and I was like, who is that? God?

207
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: You know, like there's such like a thing about seeing

208
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: you guys suited up on the court that's so special.

209
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: But having that perception and then being like, oh wait,

210
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: that's also me. It's probably I don't even know how

211
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: how you could deal with that, you.

212
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, it's insane. There's definitely a like an on

213
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 2: and off switch or like it's almost like two different worlds,

214
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: you know, to be able to have that separation of

215
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: this is me off the court, chill, no, kind of

216
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: and you know, like intensity, I'm just relaxed. But then

217
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: on the court it's a totally different thing because the

218
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: competition aspect kicks in and you know, sports they take

219
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: you through so many different emotions and you see guys

220
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: the physicality of the game, the intensity of the game,

221
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: the seriousness of the game at times, and people have

222
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 2: it's almost like doctor Jaco, mister High, like people have

223
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: multiple personalities on and off the floor, which I think

224
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: is good for us to have.

225
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: Some balance for sure. So speaking of you know, your

226
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: time in the league, what was your welcome to the

227
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: league moment?

228
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: Oh? Wow, I think that I was in the weight

229
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: room as a rookie. This is one of I've had

230
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: plenty of these because I came into the league at nineteen.

231
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: But like I was saying earlier, like Dirk was one

232
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: of my favorite players coming up also, and we were

233
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: playing against the Mavericks and I was a young player.

234
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't really playing a lot and we were in

235
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: the weight room. I was doing like some lyfts little

236
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: Cardio before the game, as all rookies do, and I

237
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: saw dirt into our weight room and I was kind

238
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: of like freaking out. I was like, oh my god, Wow,

239
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: it's dirt. It's it's him and our our weight uh

240
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: cardio and strength guy. At times, like I don't care

241
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: who it is. You got to finish your weights, and

242
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: I was kind of like, oh sorry, I forgot, And

243
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: it was it was just that moment made me realize, like,

244
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: this is this is my job, and you got to

245
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: be focused on your task at hand. Even though that

246
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: this person is somebody who you may have looked up

247
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: to for a long time, You're still competing against this guy.

248
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: And it was definitely welcomed me for sure.

249
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: For sure. And do you think you've ever had an

250
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: experience sort of the opposite of that where someone came

251
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: up to you and asked for your autograph, and you

252
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: were like, you're asking me for my autograph? Like, look

253
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: at you?

254
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: You know? Uh, Yeah, I've had I've had a couple

255
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: of those moments. Just being able to play against your

256
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: peers and people who respect what you bring to the game.

257
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: I think is it's huge, you know.

258
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: Uh or any celebrities maybe, Oh man.

259
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: That is hmm, that's tough. I've had people tell me

260
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: that they're big fans of mine and I was kind

261
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: of like, what, I didn't even know that you. Yeah,

262
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: it's yeah, that's a really good feeling to have. I

263
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: just I can't think of one person who I was

264
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: kind of like, wow, But I always tell this story.

265
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: I do believe that we played against the Lakers one

266
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: time as when I was a rookie and Kobe had

267
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: some really great words to say to me after the game,

268
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: which really really stuck with me throughout my career.

269
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: Though. Yeah, I'm sure, I mean, hearing that as a

270
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: rookie is just something you'll never forget. Okay, So now

271
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: we've talked about you when you were sixteen in the

272
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: NBA all that, and I want to go into this

273
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: next segment so I'm not sure if you're familiar with

274
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: a beautiful man newly to the Philadelphia seventy six ers,

275
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: Kelly Ubray Junior.

276
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: A beautiful man.

277
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: Yes, a beautiful man. This segment is called takes Harder

278
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: than Kelly Ubrad Junior and DeAndre I. You know, when

279
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: I think of Kelly Junior, I'm like, I don't think

280
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: many takes could be hotter than him. But then I

281
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: also think about you, and I think about me, and

282
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: I feel like we're both like the best people ever.

283
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: So I feel like we could make takes hotter than him.

284
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 2: What do you think?

285
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: Do you think that's cool?

286
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: I agree?

287
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's start off with this. Who in the

288
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: NBA do you think is the best shoe game?

289
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: The best shoegame? Are we talking on court? Off court?

290
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: What are we saying?

291
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: I think I think on court, but I feel like

292
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: if you have a good shoe game on court, it's

293
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: like you're also gonna have a good shoe game off court.

294
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

295
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: That's a fact. I'm going to say best shoe game

296
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: on court? Ooh, I'm gonna have to go with Kelly

297
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: Ubray Junior's teammate PJ. Tucker.

298
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Of course classic. I mean, is there any other option?

299
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: I think that that's like the number one, you know,

300
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: to go with him? You know, yeah, he has a

301
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: house for his shoes, so I feel like it would

302
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: be almost offensive to choose anyone else. But anyways, let's

303
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: let's keep our takes getting hot. And I want to

304
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: know if you can give me a top five most

305
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: underrated players to guard. I interview Drew Holliday a few

306
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: months ago, and he told me Bobby Portois and people

307
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: love that. So I want to hear people that no

308
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: one expects.

309
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: M Okay, this is this is a really good question. Slow, Okay,

310
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with hmmm, gosh, this is tough. Let's

311
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: go Io from the Chicago Bulls. Okay, I think he's

312
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: I think he's a tough guard. I'm gonna go with.

313
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: This is a This is really really tough.

314
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: That's why there takes harder than Kelly brid Junior because

315
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: I really have to stump you.

316
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: You know, this is tough because it's like you can't

317
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: name the obvious players, so you want to be players

318
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: like you know, Yeah, this is tough. Okay, let's go.

319
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go one of my team it is Christian Brown.

320
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, three, let's.

321
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: Go mm hmm you are yeah, Jeremy Grant from Portland.

322
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: Yes, of course he's huge. He's a big guy. I

323
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: guess no one is like huge to.

324
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: You though, right, And yeah, I'm kind of like.

325
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: Like do you look at a guy that big and

326
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, he's so little, you.

327
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: Know, he's irige. Yeah, I'm gonna go, oh Man.

328
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: M Lakers Legends.

329
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: And then one more, let's go with only because we

330
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: played him tomorrow and I think he's a really good player,

331
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: but he's not like he's one of their best players.

332
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Shay. I think it's of course, yeah,

333
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: like he's tough.

334
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: SHA's the type of guy that this this segment could

335
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: also be called takes hotter than Alexander. It's true. My

336
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: fantasy backstall team is called Sloan gilligas Alexander, and you

337
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: have to make an abbreviation, so it's.

338
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: Just s g A.

339
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: Because like, what specifically about Shay would you say you

340
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: think makes him really that good? Because he went from

341
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: being I mean, you know, he he's always been good,

342
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: but last year he really took off what do you

343
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: think it was about him that that allowed him to

344
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: have that jump.

345
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: Well, one, I think for sure, like maturity, being able

346
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: to you know, go from when he was with the Clippers.

347
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 2: He was kind of you know coming into his own

348
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: and trying to figure out what kind of player he

349
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: was going to be to come into OKC and you know,

350
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: learning with Chris quite a bit and then coming into

351
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: his own as a player and like you know taking

352
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: over this team. And I think that that was that

353
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: was pretty cool to see. But for one, you know,

354
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: he's a big guard. You know, he's not short, he's tall,

355
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: He gets spot, his mid range is crazy. He shoots

356
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 2: over people. He's one of the best like reject guys

357
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: in the league. So he he gets to the foul

358
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: on So he he's a very very tough guard. And

359
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: I think that he will continue to develop and you

360
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: know be tougher for a lot of teams for for

361
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: years to come.

362
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this definitely connects to you and to Shay.

363
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: The Clippers draft some really talented guys, and I think

364
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: a lot of them don't get their opportunities to thrive

365
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: on the Clippers, especially right now, because of how you know,

366
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: Star heavy the Clippers are and a guy that I've

367
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: always thought that if he got the right opportunity, could

368
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: be similar to Shae is Brandon Boston Junior. I really

369
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: think that he's extremely talented, and we've seen that with

370
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: the Ontario Clippers. He's really proven that he's a really,

371
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: really talented guy. And I think it's interesting to see

372
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: what would happen to someone like him who was in

373
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: a similar position to Shay if he was traded to

374
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: his team like the Spurs or the Rockets.

375
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see that because Brandon is you know, he's

376
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: he's tall, he's skilled, he's athletic, he can score the

377
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 2: basket really well. But I also think that you know,

378
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 2: with that comes you know a time where you can

379
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: learn from guys like PG Kawhi to where when it's

380
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: when it is your time to either you know, step

381
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: up and take a bigger role with the team that's're on,

382
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: or if you get moved or you decide to move

383
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: on to a different team, that you're ready to be

384
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: able to take on those responsibilities. So I do think

385
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: that he is getting everything that he needs to get

386
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: at this time and then when when the time is

387
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: right for him to excel. I think that that will happen, Like, uh,

388
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: it's hard for guys who are extremely talented to not

389
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: be talented in this league. Like you'll get that opportunity,

390
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: I believe. Yeah.

391
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: And so you know, right now, I'm in tenth grade, sixteen,

392
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to think about college, which is a

393
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: little bit stressful. I'm going to be honest with you,

394
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: and I wanted to know. I feel like you're sort

395
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: of a master of this college spectrum because, as we

396
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: all know, you went to Texas A and M for

397
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: one year. But then I also heard a little rumor

398
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: that right now you're studying at Brown, two very different places.

399
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: So I'm curious to know which school would you suggest,

400
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, like, what do you think the juxtaposition is

401
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: between those two places?

402
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: Oh? That is that is tough. You know, I haven't

403
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: really seen a lot of Brown's sports programs up close,

404
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: so I will say that, you know, my time at

405
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: Texas and then was awesome. And I think for that

406
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: period of time that I was in as a as

407
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: a person, as a player trying to get to the

408
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: goal that I was trying to get to, it was

409
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: perfect for me at that time. But now that I'm

410
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: older and I've matured quite a bit. I think that

411
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: being at Brown is something that is amazing for me,

412
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: and I'm very grateful to be at this university with

413
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: these fantastic and amazing professors and my peers that I'm

414
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: able to learn and discuss and debate things with on

415
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: a daily basis, and classmates that I consider friends at

416
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: this point in time, and I think that it's it's

417
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: great to be able to have those relationships and and

418
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: do it at a time where I didn't think I

419
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: was going to ever go back to school.

420
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, before we move on, I just want to

421
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: clarify you'll get me that letter of reck right to Brown,

422
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: right question for me?

423
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you.

424
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure, like before we move on,

425
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: I got that down. Okay, cool, thank you, thank you.

426
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: Whatever you need.

427
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: I want to move on to this. So Wemby, let's

428
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: talk about Wenby. Right. It's been a few games for

429
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: Wemby so far, and he's he's he has been special.

430
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: I I it's been a pleasure for me to watch.

431
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: I've never seen a more dominant person in my life.

432
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: It's really so cool. And I want to know as

433
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 1: someone who's also pretty tall and big. Are you going

434
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: to try to dunk on Wemby? And if so, how

435
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: would you approach that?

436
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: I think at this part of my career, like I've

437
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: I've had a lot of dunks, and like why not.

438
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's gonna try to block everything that comes

439
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: into the pain. He's gonna try to dunk on everybody.

440
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: So I think when you as a competitor, like you're

441
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: definitely gonna try to do these things because he's gonna

442
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: try to do these things too. So it's it's something

443
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: that you can't go up against a guy that big,

444
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 2: who is you know, playing some great basketball this time

445
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: he has a great I feel like, you know, knack

446
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: for the ball. His timing is really good. So with him,

447
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: you got to go to the basket aggressively. If not, like.

448
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: It'll get Yeah. The other day I was watching Rocket

449
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Spurs and Javari Smith Junior went up for the poster.

450
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: He gets denied by Wemby and tries to do it again,

451
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are you doing? You are getting

452
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: yourself done something you do not want to be in.

453
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna be on House of Highlights not once,

454
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: but twice and you know, that's his way of being like,

455
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: look at me, I want to get on House of Highlights.

456
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: That's fine, but I feel like he should try to

457
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: get on House of Highlights for another reason than getting

458
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: destroyed by Wemby multiplely.

459
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: I did like the way he puts to the basket aggressively.

460
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: So I did like the first attempt that he had though,

461
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: because at that point.

462
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I mean he has balls. He tried it.

463
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta try it, you gotta try it, and

464
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: you do. Wendy did what he was supposed to do,

465
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: what he's supposed to do.

466
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: Man, he did, and he's good at doing what he's

467
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: supposed to do. So I like. I like how we've

468
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: I think we've been talking pretty positively so far, which

469
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: I think is good. You know, we've given some shout

470
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: outs to SGA, to Wemby, the Brandon Boston Junior, and

471
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: I want to continue doing that. So my next segment

472
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: doesn't really have a name, but the idea of it

473
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: is all positivity. I'm a teenage girl and I'm trying

474
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: to bring a fresh perspective to the NBA world, which

475
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: unfortunately so much of media of the media is so negative.

476
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: You know, So I would like to highlight five special

477
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: players that you have played with before, and I would

478
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: like you to, like, you know, give a little compliment

479
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: to your guys. Okay, so let's start off with Blake Griffin.

480
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: Not only a great teammate, but one of the best

481
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: uh in game dunkers and athletes that I've ever been

482
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: around in my entire life.

483
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: That is the truth. And a guest on slow notes.

484
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: So like it, wod yes crazy? Right next up CP three,

485
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: and before you give him his compliment, do you know

486
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: that I have now had the whole Lob City trio

487
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: on slow nose. I don't think many teenage girls can

488
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: say that. I'm just gonna be real. I don't think

489
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: many t dage girls sin.

490
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: That is that is true. I'm glad I was able

491
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: to like finish that off.

492
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: So that's for appreciation. Okay, let's give CP three his compliment.

493
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: Uh CP, the probably the smartest player that I've ever

494
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: played with, the point god and the guy who is

495
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: one of the big big reasons that I turned into

496
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: the player that that I am today.

497
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: Amazing. Now you gotta go the joker mm hmm, speechless.

498
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, like Nicola is great. Yeah. Yo,

499
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: he like one of the most selfless guys I've ever

500
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 2: been around, on and off the floor. He truly, truly loves,

501
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: you know, making his teammates better and winning basketball games.

502
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: And I think that when you are, you know, the

503
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: best player on the team and you have that selfless attitude,

504
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: that it's truly contagious. And he's he's a joy to

505
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 2: be around.

506
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And does he like basketball? Like, I'm confused. Does

507
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: he like basketball? Does he not? I'm confused with what's

508
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: going on.

509
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: Listen, I hear this quite a bit. And I uh,

510
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: I think that it's okay to be able to have

511
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: an off button from basketball at times. You know, basketball

512
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 2: is what we do, is not who we are. And

513
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: I think that having other hobbies can help you stay

514
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 2: sae throughout your career in the NBA. So, you know,

515
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: if he likes to not pick up a basketball for

516
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: a month or two, if he wants to ride horses,

517
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: if he you know, if like, that's fine as long

518
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: as you know. But I mean, I think that you know,

519
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: even when he does take a break from basketball, he

520
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: comes back and it's like he hasn't taken a break

521
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: from basketball. So I think that he's he's just fine.

522
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: By the way, I know why you're going to Brown.

523
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: Your comments are so deep. I'm like, wow, I'm like

524
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: getting overwhelmed by the intelligence.

525
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: You know what I'm getting you ready for the curriculum

526
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 2: that you're gonna be you know, take in in.

527
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: Like two years. Okay, well, prayers fingers crossed again. Okay,

528
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: next compliment is to Jamal Murray.

529
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 2: Oh man, Jamal is you know, first of all, Jamal's Canadian,

530
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: so he's a very nice guy to with.

531
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, does he say sorry like in

532
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: the Canadian way? Yeah, exactly.

533
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Jamal I think is one of the most

534
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: relentless guys I've been around. Obviously, he went through a

535
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: very very tough injury during a tough time, and he

536
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 2: fought his butt off to get back and you know,

537
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: led us to win a championship last summer. And just

538
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: his fight alone and the type of mindset he had

539
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: to get back, like that's that was awesome.

540
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. And I want to move on to

541
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: another guy on the Nuggets that I every time I

542
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: watched either the Nuggets play or the Clippers play, I

543
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: always saw this guy and I was like, I feel

544
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: like no one talks about how good he really is.

545
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: And that guy is Reggie Jackson. And I'm curious if

546
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: you have a compliment for reg.

547
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Reggie's good man. Reggie has been doing great things

548
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: in this league for a long time. Back when he

549
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 2: was with OKCE and Detroit. He he you know, with

550
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: the Clippers, he did a really really good job. And

551
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 2: I think that you know, to be able to play

552
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 2: in different spots in this league, whether it's coming off

553
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: the bench, being a starter, and being one of the

554
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: main guys to coming off the be again, his value

555
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 2: is so big for what he does for multiple units,

556
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: and it's really great to have him back this year

557
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: with us.

558
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and speaking of a veteran like Reggie, as a

559
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: veteran yourself, you've seen so many players grow and improve

560
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: over the years. You know, I know, this is your

561
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: fifteenth season, which is like basically the span of my life,

562
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: which is just a funny thing to consider.

563
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: You know, ste sixteenth, this is.

564
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: Your sixteenth Oh so literally, your NBA career and me

565
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: are the same age sixteen. Yes, happy. Now your career

566
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: can get your license. That's crazy. Your career can literally

567
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: get its license. But will it pass Driver's ed.

568
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: I don't know about it.

569
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyways, as a veteran, is there a certain players

570
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: development and growth that you've seen that's really impressed you

571
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: the most? And how do you think that they were

572
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: able to evolve their game?

573
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 2: M wow. I think I have to go to one

574
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: of my teammates now who is in our rotation and

575
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: he learned a lot last year through ups and downs,

576
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: through mistakes great times. Is Peyton Watson. Yes, I think

577
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: that he his ceiling is really really high. He is

578
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: extremely athletic, He has a knack for blcking shots, getting steals,

579
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: and he can also score the basketball too. But I

580
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: think right now his focus is energy and defending and

581
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: doing anything he can to be on the floor, And

582
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: just his growth within the past year has been amazing.

583
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: And he has guys like you know KCP, who is

584
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 2: a great defender and a great shooter to kind of

585
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: learn from and like pick his brain about different things.

586
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: And him and Michael Porter Junior have Michael Porter Junior

587
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: is one of the best shooters we have in this league.

588
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: They have shooting competitions after practice, so just you know,

589
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: guys like that, he's able to kind of feed off

590
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: of and and learn from Uh, it's gonna it's gonna

591
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: take him high.

592
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I feel like, you know, correct me if

593
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But it seems almost that that sort of

594
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: family connection that all those guys have is the key

595
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: to winning the chip, you know, is like all you

596
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: guys seem so close, and the fact that those players

597
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: are wanting to enable to really mentor younger guys like

598
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: Peyton shows, at least to me from the outside, why

599
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: you guys are so special.

600
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, you're right, You're right.

601
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,960

00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: Sloane Knows. It's actually called Slow Nose because of a

604
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: commercial about bo Jackson, but that's a whole nother story.

00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: I think that that's cheating. I think, I mean, I

622
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: can tell you the guy drafted above you had a

623
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: good career. The guy below you is Turkish. I believe

624
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: those are my two like hints for you, because I'm

625
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: not like I can't you know what I mean, Like

626
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: I need you to, I need you to like grind

627
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: on this.

628
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think the guy before me was Mario Thomers.

629
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: Yes that is correct. Okay, Yeah, Now the one after you,

630
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure he had a great career. I'm gonna be honest.

631
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: At my ripe age of sixteen, I have no idea

632
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: who he is. So I want to know if you.

633
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: Do Turkish guy after me in the draft?

634
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: Gosh, well, I think he's Turkish. His name just sounds Turkish,

635
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: So I guess maybe that's a guess.

636
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: But like I feel like, oh, that's tough. I know

637
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: Mario is before me.

638
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: Do you want me to reveal in his last name?

639
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: There's like a letter I've never seen before, but I

640
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: think you pronounced his name Omar ashik Oh.

641
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, he played for the Rockets. Yeah yeah, yeah,

642
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: yes yeah yeah.

643
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: Okay, great, well we got there, We got there, no offense, Omar.

644
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: We love you out here. If you'd ever like to

645
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: be on, come on and you can just pretend like

646
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: you don't know who the guy drafted above you was. Yes, yes, okay. Next,

647
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: this is a fun one. How many three pointers have

648
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: you made in your career? DeAndre? Two those? Can you

649
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: do me a favorite this year? I'd like you to

650
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: make your third? Okay, do it for Sloan please?

651
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I will consider doing that for you.

652
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, and maybe just to like make it perfect.

653
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: You can do like a little heart after Okay, so

654
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: you'll know that for you when I make it, I'll

655
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: go like.

656
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: This exactly all right. When I was in like eighth

657
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: grade or no, eighth grade was like two years ago.

658
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: I meant like fifth grade. Wayne Ellington was in the

659
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: three point contest and I told him if he won

660
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: to do this celebration for me and he didn't win,

661
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: But my thought is is that if he won, he

662
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: would have done it, like okay, or maybe he just

663
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: didn't win because he didn't want to do this seally

664
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: for me, you know, like I think like people are like, oh, no,

665
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: he would have never done that. I'm like, no, it's

666
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: just because he lost. Like I'm telling you, if he won,

667
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: he definitely would have done that for me. But please

668
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: make my dreams happen better than Wayne Ellington and do

669
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: the heart and hit that three dandre.

670
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: If I had a three D year, I will do it. Ready.

671
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I can't wait. This is gonna that

672
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: will be good viral content. So good. Now, okay, So

673
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: what was the lowest free throw percentage you've ever shot?

674
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: And what was the highest?

675
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: The highest was I believe when I was in Dallas,

676
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: it's like seventy two point four, seventy one point.

677
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: A little generous seventy point five.

678
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: Seventy point five I was, I was rounding up you were, yeah, sorry,

679
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: and the lowest, oh my gosh, ummm, forty eight.

680
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: Thirty six, also being a little generous, thirty seven point five.

681
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: But it's okay. It was in your second year. I

682
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: feel like you've learned from that.

683
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, Yeah, I've gotten a lot better since then.

684
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 2: So that was yeah wow, that was when you were

685
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 2: too slow.

686
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: That was when I was too that So I have

687
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: to be honest, DeAndre, I didn't. I wasn't locked in

688
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: when you were shooting your free throws in your second year.

689
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: I did not see them. I'm just gonna be real,

690
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: but I see them now. So I actually, what's funny

691
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: is I I only know you as like a seventy

692
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: point five percent free throw shooter because I wasn't like

693
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: mentally here when you Yeah, so you shouldn't. Actually you

694
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't have even told me that, because then I just

695
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: would have been like, oh my god, DeAndre Jordan. Yeah,

696
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: he's like a better free throw shooter than Steph Curry,

697
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: and it would be like whatever. Also, this is deep knowledge.

698
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: You know who actually had a better free throw percentage

699
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: than Steph Curry one year, Brad Wannamaker. So I'll just

700
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: think of you as like the next Brad Wanta Maker

701
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: or something.

702
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,479
Speaker 2: I really appreciate that. Thank you for that. I needed

703
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: that for my confidence.

704
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure Brad will too.

705
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: WILLO.

706
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: Okay, now, what was your field goal? Percentage in the

707
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two twenty twenty three season. This is crazy.

708
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: It is a very good stat It is.

709
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: A very good stat. I will say eighty percent.

710
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: You really. I love the generosity. It's still amazing, but

711
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: it's not eighty seventy six point five.

712
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: Seventy six point five. See, I'm round, I'm selling, I'm rounding.

713
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: This year. The goal is eighty, goal is eighty. This

714
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: year you are rounding, which is fine because if well, okay,

715
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: not to be like that, right, but just like in

716
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: algebra two, which I'm in right now, if you were rounding,

717
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: you would round to seventy seven because you're a seventy

718
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: six point five, you know what I mean. Okay, eighty

719
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: eighty is like actually just I think a little bit

720
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: of a stretch, but I get where you're at.

721
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to be better.

722
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay, and I know you will be. This year.

723
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: We're going for eighty and then you don't have to round, Okay,

724
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: So next time you're on here when I'm seventeen, it'll

725
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: all work out. Okay, DeAndre, this is your last question,

726
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: and you've actually been doing pretty well. Like people usually

727
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: do not get this, so The last question is how

728
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: many regular season games have you played over your career,

729
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: excluding like the two games this season.

730
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 2: One thousand, one hundred thirty.

731
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: Two one thousand, nineteen. So close, it's close. I mean,

732
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: you're you're in like the area. You know what I mean,

733
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: you're in the area. I need to get like a

734
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: statistic of who has done the best on this, Like

735
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: I want to I need to start getting like I

736
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: need to start grading you guys, you know, because like

737
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,880

738
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,120

742
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,520

00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: you some half credit maybe like for the free throw percentages.

744
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,800

745
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: plus range.

746
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then and then like the draft one, I

747
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: got one of those, right, so I should have credit

748
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:05,800
