31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: lit me money on basketball, playing basketball, and then obviously

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: what we're going to now, so talk about with one

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: of the basketball growing up.

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I started when I was three years old, Dann, kindergarten.

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: You started killing that's nobody I knew started younger than you.

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: Maybe him.

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 5: So my parents just told me that I like to play,

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: you know, the ball more than like cars or tours

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 5: when I was very young. So this is decided to

41
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 5: put me in and there was activity in kindergarten, so

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: they put in me. I liked it from day one

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: and then I stick to it. So I played there

44
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 5: until I was fourteen, and then at fifteen I moved

45
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 5: to Spain to play for FC Barcelona for three years there.

46
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 5: And then this year I came to University of Illinois

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 5: and play one year there. And now now I moved

48
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 5: the heat.

49
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: So we talk at us talk about this for a

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: second though, because well, I think over here in the States,

51
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: one thing basketball wise, we don't quite understand it. I mean,

52
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: we can say prep school, but it's not like what

53
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: you did leaving home at fifteen and going to Spain.

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: Talk about that and how how was that as far

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: as evolving your game, just everything you know, maturing you.

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: I'm sure as a person too.

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: He's like one of the youngest of the youngest on

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 2: the team.

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was also you have system that

60
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: I started playing with but then going to like work

61
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 5: out with the main team of Pro.

62
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was in the young sixteen.

63
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so leaving the talk about that though, like your

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: mom that does them out.

65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was kind of hard decision, I think for

66
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 5: my family. For me, it was easy because I just

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 5: wanted to get the best resources I can and the

68
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 5: development partner is so good in Barcelona, so I just

69
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: wanted to go there. But my parents, you know, they

70
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 5: kind of.

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: How hell.

72
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 5: I mean, no, they were positive, but they had to

73
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 5: think because it's not easy, I think, to let your

74
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 5: kids go somewhere to live in another country by yourself.

75
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 5: So we had a little like thinking moment, but they

76
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: finally am happy that they let me go. And then

77
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 5: I went there. I didn't even know Spanish. They don't

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 5: know English a lot, so it would just communicate with like, you.

79
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 6: Don't know Spanish, Spanish, yeah, now speak Spanish.

80

102
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 5: one in my family played basketball. And that's kind not

103
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 5: weird because even when I was like in the draft,

104
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 5: sitting in the green room, they were like playing. Every

105
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 5: whoever got drafted they would say, oh, his mom played.

106
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: Basketball, dad was in NBA.

107
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: His dad was in their year league, And I was like, okay,

108
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,839

109
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: first one, so I.

110
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Know, so the family not playing. Did you watch NBA

111
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: basketball growing up?

112
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: Growing up, I watched more European basketball, just because of

113
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 5: time difference, and even we didn't have channels to watch NBA.

114
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 5: They wouldn't like translated, you know, so uh, maybe some

115
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 5: YouTube highlights you would watch, but that's the only thing

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 5: that was possible. So I was watching more European basketball.

117
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 5: But growing up, when I was like older, I started

118
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 5: to watch more NBA. And obviously moving here in college,

119
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 5: I watched a lot.

120
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: More Who is your team? When you started watching it?

121
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: Like who is your team? Or players that you liked watching.

122
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 5: When Luca was in Madrid, I watched him a lot

123
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 5: and all his transition, like when he got drafted, so

124
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 5: I watched him the most.

125
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: So when did you when did you yeah, stay in shape.

126
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 5: Watch that no, yeah, the playmaking, watching self creation and

127
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff.

128
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: So obviously you start you start transition watching your league basketball.

129
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: When did you decide like, hey, listen NBA is something

130
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: I'd like to do or want to do.

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: I'll say.

132
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 5: When I was in Barcelona, yeah, because I mean I

133
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 5: got chance to work with all the professional guys and

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 5: almost all of them were in NBA at some point.

135
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: So on Barcelona. Who the pros there?

136
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,800

00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: After Ricky Rubio came for a little bit, so I

139
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: worked out with him a little bit. So it was

140
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 5: a lot of experienced guys.

141
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: Just yeah, he went off on the NBA, went off

142
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: on the league.

143
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: He just went off on what he said, like he said,

144
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: talk to people.

145
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: He didn't fall in love it because it's he he

146
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: went in pretty hard.

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,000

Speaker 5: maybe Australia, or to go college. But first of all,

161
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: I just wanted to be more too like US culture,

162
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: to more like NBA, kind of closer to the NBA.

163
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 5: The competition is college is pretty good because everybody is hungry,

164
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 5: Like everybody's trying to reach the same goal for sure,

165
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 5: and a lot of talented players there too, and also

166
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 5: the like college college for like studying that was important

167
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: for me and my family. So if I would stayed

168
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: in Europe or if I go to Australia, it's like

169
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 5: kind of hard to manage both study and sport.

170
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: So that's why I trusted like me, study was important.

171
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: I want to Florida too. Study was super important.

172
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,599
Speaker 2: Listen, honestly, I have to understand this because you have

173
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: to explain it and kind of break it down to me.

174
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: Because I spent I spent not much in Europe. I

175
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: played in France and at that time Taboo set Faloshi

176
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: was on the junior team. He ended up playing for Okay.

177
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 2: See he had a dec NBA career made some good

178
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 2: money for himself. But at that time he was on

179
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: the junior team around the same age as you, sixteen.

180
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: But he knew that I had played for the University

181
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: of Florida, so he asked me, could I help him,

182
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: you know, get some film over the coach Downovan and

183
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: the people at University of Florida. But at that time

184
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: he had already made money playing overseas, so it was

185
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: hard to kind of get him in college and different

186
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: things like that. So how how did youse did you

187
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 2: make money when you were playing in Spain? And how

188
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: was it was it able to if you make money

189
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: in Spain? Right, you can't n I L N I

190
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: L now you can't, Okay, But there was no n IL.

191
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: Then that's what I'm saying. That's the difference.

192
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying Europe they got n IL so

193
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: he can make so he can make money praying pro

194
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: in Europe and.

195
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: Basically college before you lost your college eligibility once you

196
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: started to be professional money maker. Now you're a professional

197
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: money maker. He got paid a bunch of money.

198
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: Go to one, I understand, But no question is did

199
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: you make money from when you play that Barcelona in Spain.

200
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 5: No, I was like, I'd never signed a professional contract there.

201
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 5: I wasn't like you system contract that I had, Like

202
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 5: when I'm I was fifteen, I signed.

203
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: Like three question was for him.

204
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: Finish up?

205
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, like three plus one years off like yuff system.

206
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 5: So basically if I stayed there, like from fifteen to eighteen,

207
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: So I just played basically for the system.

208
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: But they can move me to the pro team whatever.

209
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: But they just I don't have never had problem, So.

210
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: They had the best of both words. They can move

211
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 2: you to the protein, but they never signed you to

212
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: a country.

213
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

214
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 2: So if they had signed you to a poor contract,

215
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: would they have made things more difficult for you to

216
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: go to college?

217
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: Even with difficult I think yeah it would. It would

218
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: make more difficult for sure. It's just also the agent.

219
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just they kind of lock you up a

220
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 5: little bit sometimes if you signed prob them.

221
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: To as I appreciate you clearing that up.

222
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Just gotta do a buyout. I think you're clearing that

223
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: up a team biot.

224
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: That's what you buy out.

225
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: That's when your agent come in. That's what you need.

226
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: So, so Illinois, what made you choose on? Yeah?

227
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 2: Why Illinois. God, damn, I mean, I know ill it's

228
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: but damn, I mean you got Florida saying that's school.

229
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I to be honest, I didn't get a

230
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: lot of offers. Really yeah, I got, like, I know

231
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: that feeling. Yeah, I DONI was started recruiting me, like

232
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: in May or at the end of May.

233
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 5: Even when I played like one of the finals with

234
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 5: Spanish Championship final against like Real Madrid.

235
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 3: We won, and they were there in the like scouting

236
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 3: the Real Madrids somebody else and somebody else. Yeah, so

237
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: as was it a guard?

238
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

239
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: Did he go to Illinois to so you took his

240
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: scholarship basically, I mean he went to other ones, kicked

241
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: his ass, it took it by It's okay, I'm sure

242
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 2: you feel were you supposed fail. Youre right where you're supposed.

243
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: To be for sure. So yeah, so they kind of

244
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 3: recruit me later. So without Illinois, I had like gun

245
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 3: Zag and Florida probably was Did you have Florida? I

246
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: didn't have Florida.

247
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 2: Now yeah, it's okay, that's okay. We you went the

00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: heat now, so we family.

249
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I think just we did. I never

250
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 5: had like any visits because I was still playing. We

251
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: had like long season in Europe, so I did only

252
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 5: zoom meeting is with them.

253
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: They try to show you, Mike, you don't even know

254
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: who I am.

255
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: I just knew.

256
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: I just found out who I was today. That's I'm older,

257
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: like the crack jokes. Honestly as old as I am.

258
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 2: Were you a little surprised that I could move a

259
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: little bit today? Tell the truth, you should be.

260
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: I am a little bit.

261
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: You still got a little something something that was moving, kid,

262
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: I was doing my thing.

263
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: It was really moving. I was moving.

264
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: Is great.

265
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just playing defense. I ain't showing I

266
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: ain't showing the pistol yet. You know, I ain't showing

267
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: the ratchet to.

268
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: Keep that in the bag from practice when I started

269
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: chirping a little bit. Yeah. So your experience in Illinois,

270
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: obviously you get drafted different. You get drafted, so you're happy,

271
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: But what was your experience like Illinois compared to going

272
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: over in Spain and playing was you know, I mean

273
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: coming to another country again.

274
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: Come by yourself, by yourself, no family, no family everything,

275
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: Like you said, that experience, all of that, he was nervous.

276
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 2: You was scared huh, the nervous. Let's scared.

277
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 5: I mean to be honest, most like my transition to

278
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 5: Spain held me a lot because when I was like fifteen,

279
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 5: that was the biggest like move for me from home,

280
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 5: and after that I lived like three years by myself.

281
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: So I was like, can adapt to what?

282
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: I actually think that that when you guys have the opportunity,

283
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: I think European players, I think that actually helps. It

284
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: gets you guys ahead of the game because when you

285
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 2: actually get drafted and you're coming to the pros, you've

286
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: been living like a pro for three four years prior

287
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: to that, you know what I'm saying, So it's not

288
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 2: that much of a change or a difference from you.

289
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: You've been living on your own, you've been holding yourself accountable,

290
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 2: you've been getting up and getting yourself to practice, and

291
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: these are the things you've been doing on your own

292
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: before you got to college, before you got to the NBA.

293
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: These are habits you have built already. For sure, I

294
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: think it kind of helps that transition. I'm glad you

295
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: made that point.

296
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: For sure. Yeah, it helps.

297
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 5: I think it really helps, just you know, start from

298
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 5: like young age doing this little like discipline and tried

299
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 5: to build habits when you're younger, so Illinois.

300
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: So so how how was the difference in college basketball

301
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: compared to euro League basketball? Was it significantly different?

302
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it took me some time to adapt obviously,

303
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 5: Like you know, it's not easy to start to any

304
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 5: like new basketball kind of style and a new country.

305
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: But it took a little bit of time to get

306
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: to know the game and get like find myself into it.

307
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 5: But when I found it, I felt pretty good. So

308
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 5: you played right, Yeah, So.

309
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Like the style. When you say style, what's the biggest

310
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: difference in style of euro League basketball and college basketball?

311
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: Yes, I would say, like I didn't play with pro

312
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: like with grown men that much.

313
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 5: I was practicing with them, Yeah, but most of the

314
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 5: games was with yev Uat in nineteen maybe two.

315
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: So I would say the talent level in college is

316
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: a lot better.

317

00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:46,840

00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 3: You?

396
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: Have to be honest, I don't get drafted, so I

397
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: don't know. I asked anybody that got drafted, like, how

398
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: was your process? Everybody process is different. They just told

399
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: me yesterday that you actually know before they call you.

400
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: I thought they call you in just surprises. I didn't

401
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: know that. So where do you have other teams that

402
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: were looking at you or did you kind of feel

403
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: like or know that you were going to fall to

404
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: us at twenty No?

405
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't expect. Yeah, and I remember like

406
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: I was thinking some other teams like was interested in

407
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: me like a little bit earlier.

408
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: But I kind of I know deep inside, like you know,

409
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 5: I like sun and red weather just like my mood,

410
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: and I know I feel more I have more energy

411
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 5: with that, so kind of inside I wanted to go

412
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 5: somewhere where it's good and nice weather. So I'm so

413
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 5: happy that it happened. You also like the culture here,

414
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 5: the team culture. I think it's like fits me and

415
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 5: I like it more than somewhere. You go in this

416
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 5: like they don't try to win or they just try

417
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 5: to do other things.

418
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: So so the biggest adjustment we talked about the adjustments.

419
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: What's the difference on the basketball court. What did you

420
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 2: have to adjust to off the basketball court leaving home

421
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: coming over here? I understand it. You went to Spain

422
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: by yourself. Goddamn, it's different in Chicago. You don't came

423
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: to Chicago now whatever where is Illinois and outside of

424
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 2: outside of Chicago, so you don't care to Illinois outside

425
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: of Chicago.

426
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: That's different, like to our two hours south now.

427
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: Talk about that that. I mean, that's a whole big

428
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 2: that's different. You come into a whole different ball game.

429
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 2: How is that adjustment?

430
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say it's reminded me of Lithuania a

431
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: little bit. I got back.

432
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just because the weather, like it's pretty cold

433
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 5: in winter, it's very windy like in Lithuania's not there's

434
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: no doubt many like wind, but it's more snow back home,

435
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 5: so it's kind of the weather was similar to to

436
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 5: Lithuania that I got used to Spain.

437
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: Spain weather like also sunny and good weather, so I

438
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: kind of got back to to to home weather.

439
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 5: But outside of that, to be honest, there was nothing

440
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 5: to like adapt because it's pretty similar.

441
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: Like what about the food, because everything every time I

442
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: come from Europe, I come back and I realize how

443
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 2: we eat over here. I swear every time I come

444
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: back from Europe, I realized that we eat over here.

445
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: It's so much cleaner. It's just different. Did the food

446
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 2: was an adjustment.

447
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 5: That yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't really like food here.

448
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 5: It's all good, even groceries, it's not that like that

449
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 5: fresh like exactly. That that that that's the thing that

450
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 5: is different.

451
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had to deal with that. You don't understand

452
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: major bones over here.

453
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: I want I do want to touch on some though.

454
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: Obviously the heat stuff, and I think in your answer

455
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: was really really good. I think understanding how fortunate you

456
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: are to be walking in this organization and what they do.

457
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: He's obviously heat legend and he played there forever. But

458
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: what you touched on was the culture and identity and

459
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of time you've been there, what

460
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: what kind of what are what are you learning through that?

461
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 3: Right?

462
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: Like you've touched on already and it's amazing how everyone

463
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: that walks through those doors brings up the word culture.

464
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: So it's already embedded you in this short period of time.

465
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: So talk about how I think, like I said, it's

466
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: fortunate you are to walk in there as a rookie

467
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: to learn from that what they have and the people

468
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: that have around it. So you know, it's it's awesome

469
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: for you to be there. Talk about culture stuff.

470
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 5: Man, Yeah, I mean I would say just that kind

471
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 5: of everything matters, you know, like even not even the

472
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 5: practice stuff, but outside of the basketball court, like mental part,

473
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 5: Like we're working with a mental coach now, like every

474
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 5: day we have all the like preparing our bodies for

475
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 5: practices before that. Like, I think everything matters here and

476
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 5: we all like working towards the same goal towards like winning,

477
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 5: and everybody just have to add their their pieces to it.

478
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 5: And I think if you just give like one hundred

479
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 5: percent here and give all you, like, all you to

480
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: the team, to the program, I think every it will

481
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 5: be all right.

482
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: Games younger games yet Hunger games.

483
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was hunger games. We called it. You'll find

484
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: out where hunger games. I know it's a competition, there's

485
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: always a winning and loser, but it's just the way

486
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 2: we compete. But I mean when you got here, I

487
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: mean from the jump, talk about the commitment to conditioning

488
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 2: and building your body, because everybody don't understand how hard

489
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: we work on the conditioning and building our body parts

490
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: before we even step on the basketball court. You got

491
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: to be in shape and your body's got to be

492
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: prepared to go through the things that we go through.

493
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: Is that a shock for you? The way like we're

494
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: just coming in and the working and lifting weights, just

495
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: all the stuff that we do just to be able

496
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: to get ourselves on the basketball court. Was that something different?

497
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

498
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: I mean I've been like only for three days. I

499
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: was in Miami. Then we went to San Francisco like

500
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: summer league, so it was pretty quick, so.

501
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: You didn't really get a full scope of Like.

502
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 5: No, I didn't get the full one, but I still

503
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 5: see like they were talking to me about that and

504
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 5: how it works and how important it is.

505
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: So I know one thing about the two things, So

506
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: you're not how to break down that pick and roll.

507
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 2: The NBA is ninety thousand picking rolls again, So the

508
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: fact that you know you get you break down the

509
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 2: pick and roll, your good pick and roll player. You

510
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: got size six, five and a half. You know they

511
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: say what standing, your standing reach is crazy. So I

512
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 2: mean we're looking forward to it. I love the way

513
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: you competed it yesterday on the defensive end, got a

514
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,239
Speaker 2: couple of little balls, got a couple of stills, got

515
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: out on the break.

516
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: Man.

517
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: I mean one thing about it is just putting one

518
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: foot and for the other. Yes, every day, man, you

519
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. We talked about this in practice today.

520
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So you have the right mindset, Yes, sir,

521
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: got the right mindset.

522
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: Talk about it's only been a couple games. How many

523
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: summer league games it for you right now? Three?

524
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: Four? Now we played four yesterday.

525
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: Talk about just again, everything in life is taking the

526
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: next step, the next step, the next step. Right, So

527
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: you go, you're a league at fifteen, you come over

528
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: to Illinois at seventeen eighteen, Now you're playing in the NBA,

529
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: and although it's summer league, what are you seeing is

530
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: a difference between the steps you've taken so far and

531
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: what you're gonna have to work on your rookie year.

532
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: Just the four games you played generally.

533
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so for sure, it's it's a process, you know.

534
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 5: And just like first, all the three games I played

535
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 5: in San Francisco was terrible for me offensively, but still.

536
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: Did you learn Yeah, of course, it's all the matter.

537
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I tried therefore, Yeah, I tried to do like

538
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 5: control what I can control, so like just my effort

539
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 5: and trying to be a great teammate, compete defensive end,

540
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 5: and even the shots weren't falling or I didn't feel

541
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 5: well with the ball, I still try to do the

542
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 5: things I can control.

543
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: And like I said, I understand it's a process, and

544
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: it's a long process.

545
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, So just taking these little steps, I think,

546
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 5: and learning from like watching film after every game and

547
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 5: learning from it.

548
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: I think it's that helps you improve even more.

549
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that you know, as a process

550
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: that helps. Because we talked about this yesterday with fears,

551
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: your amount of fears, and we don't necessarily look at

552
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: how many points you got scored at the end of

553
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: a Summer League game. We watch how you played the game.

554
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: Were you in the right spot defensively? Did you make

555
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: the right plays? You know what I'm saying. Are you competing?

556
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: Are you engaged? Can you run to play? We're not

557
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: really real basketball heads. We're not talking about the civilians

558
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: at home. Call you civilians, real basketball heads. We're not

559
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: looking at guys like you. Numbers. Did he score fifty five?

560
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: Did he score?

561
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: Cooper flags with five for twenty one the first game?

562
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: And he said he had a terrible game. I disagree.

563
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: I watched his game. He was on health side defense,

564
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: which sucks for a lot of young guys because they

565
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 2: never really helped side defense. They always stuck to their

566
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: man instead of taking the two nine men on the

567
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: help side. He got out on the break, he got

568
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: a block, the last one got Downhill, got to assist

569
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: for the game winning three. I thought he had a

570
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: good game. So my point to you is, don't worry

571
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: about the scoring that's gonna come. You scored the ball yesterday.

572
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: Just worry about the other scoring is not nothing that

573
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: we worry about. Trust me to Miami, he does not

574
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: worry about you scoring. We understand that part of that.

575
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: It's gonna come. And then honestly, when you get in

576
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: the season, you're gonna throw that bitch to Bam a lot.

577
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: Anyway, So.

578
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 2: About you scoring right now, you know what I'm saying.

579
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: We're worried about you playing a game the right way,

580
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: developing your basketball IQ, making sure that you understand everything,

581
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: that you're comfortable, working on your strings and working on

582
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 2: your weaknesses as well. That's that's what we worry about. Man,

583
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 2: don't put too much stock in how many points did

584
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: I score? After it's got a lot of young guys focused.

585
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: On that, coaching on it right there, working on your

586
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses. What's one skill you want to master

587
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: as a rookie?

588
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: One skill?

589
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: One skill like you really think that you need to

590
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: take to continue to develop and take the next step.

591
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, something that you want to you know, I.

592
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 3: Mean, I would say, just like building my body, building

593
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 3: my strength for the defensive end.

594
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: Great point, and you got you got a good body

595
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: on you, you know what I'm saying. So the point

596
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: the fact that you said that, it makes a lot

597
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 2: of sense because I tell and I had. I was

598
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: on TV with Reed Shepherd the other day. I looked

599
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: at them, I told them, you pick on young white guys.

600
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: We do.

601
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna get put in every cross screen,

602
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 2: You're gonna get put in every pin down, You're gonna

603
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: get put in every action just to see you know

604
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And that's what usually happens. And now,

605
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: once you prove that you're gonna get through those cross threings,

606
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna get through those pendowns. You're gonna defend. That's

607
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: a different thing. But the first thing they gonna do

608
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: is try you. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's

609
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: first thing they're gonna do. You know what I'm saying,

610
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: And you have to step up to the plate. But

611
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 2: those are the things, as young fellas that at the

612
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 2: end of the day we talked about again, those are

613
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: the things you have to go through. You have to

614
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: go through those things. You can't We can't fast forward that.

615
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 2: We can't skip that step. We can't skip that process.

616
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna wear on. You're gonna have to learn from it.

617
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna get in their funerom the next day and

618
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna make sure they can't do it to you again.

619
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: It's just the process up.

620
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: Yep, for sure.

621
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: Hey, let me ask you this though, talk about that then,

622
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: So hearing all that stuff in the process you're gonna

623
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: have to go through and obviously leaning on people that

624
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: have done it like this is super important, I think

625
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: for young players coming in this league's trying to understand,

626
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,720

716
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,200

Speaker 1: And why?

718
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so I would say, I mean I have.

719
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 5: Some guys like different guys just try to like pick

720
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 5: up like they're ye different things, different things.

721
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: Different players.

722
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 5: But if like overall, I really like Kobe, like his

723
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 5: mentality before the game with the mama mental he said that, bro.

724
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: But and I'm happy you said mama mentality and I'm

725
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: pretty sure you might mean it, but I feel like

726
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: a lot of people say that they don't mean it.

727
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: They really know what that meant. That mentality means. Kobe

728
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: was a.

729
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: Killer.

730
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, killer. He wasn't trying to be friends with nobody.

731
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: He wasn't trying to be liked by nobody trying, he

732
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: wasn't trying to do none of that was a killer.

733
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: So a lot of the when you young guys say

734
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: mama mentality and then go help them up on the

735
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: other team they fail, that's not mama mentality and you're

736
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: not a killer, So stop it. So hands up, don't

737
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: help nobody yet. Mentality?

738
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: So Kobe, who else?

739
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: Uh?

740
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 5: And when I was growing up, like I said, Lebron

741
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 5: was when I was keen, uh, like kind of fell

742
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 5: in love with the NBA game when I was younger,

743
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 5: like I said, I remember when I was like one

744
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 5: road trip, long trip when I was signing like many

745
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 5: years ago, I had like my iPad or I know,

746
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,840

748
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:23,680

750
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,120

752

Speaker 5: being in that Jerseys is a different feeling.

754
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,000

755
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: how would you define yourself as a player. That's a

756
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,080

Speaker 5: I would say, uh, I just like to involve everybody

761
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 5: on the team, like try to make them feel good

762
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 5: on the court, you know, play making, try to shoot

763
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 5: the ball when you open then just like give one

764
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,719

00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: That's the OG advice for the day. Stay out the streets.

786
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: We want to see your ass in the gym. In

787
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: the gym only. Anything else is uncivilized, and we don't

788
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: want that. We've seen so many people survive in the

789
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 2: gym and lose in the streets. Get their ass up

790
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: out of here, o g advice. Man, enjoy Miami. It's

791
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 2: a great city. But obviously you know why you're there,

792
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 2: and you know what you're here for. You and you've

793
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: been away from your family for a long period of time,

794
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: so you've been holding yourself accountambal having those you know

795
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: and those habits already built. So I don't think anything

796
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 2: will change. But Miami, what God damn boy, it's the

797
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: devil's playground. It is the devil's playground at idle time,
