00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: the episode with a Friday Ask question. Obviously, you know

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,560

58
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,480

00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: you what's been so far without giving too much details.

60
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to snitching nobody. What would you say

61
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: your most problematic locker room was so far and you're

62
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: playing days. You can go from high school to college

63
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,040

65
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: I would have to say with with with yes, yeah, man,

66
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: we little go a little We had a funny, a

67
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: funny group of guys in that locker room. You know,

68
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 1: I think it was it was PEG's last year, right, yeah, yeah,

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: So it was like, you know, mixed between you know,

70
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I think there was riff raff for him, you know,

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: not wanting to be there. This's that in the third

72
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: or I don't know what what he was thinking. I

73
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: was a rookie. I really didn't know anything. But we'd

74
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: go on like seven game win streaks and eight game

75
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: loosen streaks. I was confused, man, So uh as my

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: first year in the league, you know, we were we

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: were a troublesome group. That was a hell of a

78
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: year for everybody. It will get into that a little

79
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: bit later. He don't like the paces at all. He

80
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: has no respect. I am unfortunately doing pictures fan till

81
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I die. But terres Haliburt and the Savior the guy

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: shout out to him out the gate, shout out to

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: the young being Mather too. We were on the way

84
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: like analogy will wish us to the pictures organization. That's

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: like you got for it. It's a pr S today.

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: That's school. I can get out of pocket. We can

87
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: get it there. So first started off before we can

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: get to that. You know what I'm saying. Obviously we

89
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: know how you would. You know, I'm saying, it's your

90
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: background of basketball. Talk about your high school. That's man.

91
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: You had a pretty goddamn good and you team. You

92
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, How did that come about? We

93
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: all went to high school together as me Netherlands Nowell,

94
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: Wayne Selden, Jake Layman Man. When you say high school together,

95
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: like y'all went to high school together, y'all like it

96
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: was like a phone called and we're going to high

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: school together. No, it was. It was a boarding school,

98
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: so you know we were allowed to do that. You

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: know a lot of people said they played high school

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: together and they lived on the street. That definitely was

101
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: not the case. But you know, for for high school

102
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: au we we had a pretty solid team. So when

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: you was playing in the summer, obviously I had a whip.

104
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: And was it a little bit easier for you to

105
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: play high school basketball playing with the town the team

106
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: like that? Like you said, you had a Denver prep

107
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: school y'all playing a crazy schedule as well. How did

108
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: that prepare you to like get into like cogge decisions

109
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: because a lot of times, like Jeffer probably speaking on this,

110
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean he went crazy at you too, but he

111
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: played in the high school where he lived down the

112
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: street front, how do you think it would have been

113
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: different for you probably going up if you went to

114
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: a prep school situation, you think he would have got

115
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: exposure differently? Or now, I wouldn't have made no prep school.

116
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't do that, you can na. I'm a I'm

117
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: a west side baby. I can't do that outside baby, Yeah,

118
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm outside, yall know me? I was outside. I went

119
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: to every party, I went to everything, boarding school that

120
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: ain't met no uniforms, no way you can. I wore

121
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: white T shirts and rocket worse every day. Yeah, like,

122
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: come on, you had to be real disciplined for that though.

123
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure it made you a better college student. Yeah,

124
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean I guess when you don't know, I wouldn't

125
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: say you don't know no different like you just you know.

126
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: So for the most part, I mean I was an

127
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: hour away from home, and uh, I mean up there,

128
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: there was no I was like up in the middle

129
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: of nowhere. There was no thought of like, I couldn't

130
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: go act up. There was nothing to act up and do.

131
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: It was gonna do run out in the wilderness. But uh,

132
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: because you're from the Northeast area, yeah, I mean it's

133
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: not for everybody, but I'll tell you this, it does

134
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: keep a lot of you know, you know how how

135
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: to find a way to avoid trouble. There's some people

136
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: that just walk outside and trouble finds them. So for

137
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: kids like that, I think it's a it's a good

138
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: idea because it'll probably save a lot of kids from

139
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: who get in trouble in high school and can't pursue

140
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: their dreams. Would you had a twenty eleven or twenty

141
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: ten class, No, I was twenty twelve. I was originally

142
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, So in the in the Northeast. It's popular

143
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: to like reclassify. I feel like I thought we were

144
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: like the first ones. Yeah, so I was, so I

145
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: was young for my grade, so twenty I was originally

146
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: class to twenty eleven and I did two sophomore years.

147
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: So it hurt me in the long run when I'm

148
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: entering the draft and they're like, oh, he about to

149
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: be twenty three, and I was like, did y'all win

150
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Peach Jam? Yeah? Yeah, how was it? I had a

151
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: whip that was Peach Jam? Was that was the best turn?

152
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: That's the best tournament out Yeah? Yeah, and then you

153
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: see it now it gets all that national that's much

154
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: actually televised. Yeah, so I don't know. I mean, Nike

155
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: did a really good job with the E y b L.

156
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: It was like the first year of week first joined.

157
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: But Peach Jam was elite. Who was the toughest matchup

158
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: out there that you can remember? Who was like, damn

159
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: he is nice. I gotta work on my game. I

160
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: gotta get matchup. I don't. I mean, I just remember

161
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: having to play the Saint Louis Eagles when they had

162
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal, Ben McLamore. That was that was crazy. You

163
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: could do because I was like a post guy and

164
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: them dudes were just dancing around the three point line.

165
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: So they were yeah, yeah, oh he did he play for? Yeah?

166
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: They had him Aj Hammond's Uh who else did they

167
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: have had a couple San Thomas? Yeah was nice? They

168
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: was they was cold? Then who was it? Uh? Team

00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: Takeover had like b j Anya, Jeremy Grant, James Robinson. Damn. Yeah,

170
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: so they every game like eybl was was for real.

171
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: That definitely helped me, you know, just playing against like

172
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: I went to high school in Urlans, also playing against

173
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: him kind of helped me play against like shot blockers

174
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: in college. Yeah, I could score not at ease, But

175
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: how did you get to Yeah, damn, that's that's actually

176
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: a crazy story. So I didn't have any high major offers,

177
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: I think going into like my junior year and I

178
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: played in the tournament and uh, Fred Hoiberg ended up

179
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: calling me because this prep school we went on like

180
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: a ski trip. So he called me in the middle

181
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: of like me going down the hill tubin or something,

182
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: and I called him back and he wanted me to

183
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: take an unofficial visit. But people don't realize now unofficial visits.

184
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't be paid for it, so like my mom

185
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: had to like pay for me to go out there.

186
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: I wasna. I was originally gonna visit just the University

187
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: of Iowa, but then I decided to do both because

188
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: they were both recruiting me. So we get out to

189
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: Des Moines, and Des Moines is a forty five minute

190
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: drive to Aimes, where Iowa State is, and my mom

191
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: forgot a credit card. So when we go to rent

192
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: a car, they was like, sorry, like, no, can't do

193
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: this is like twelve years ago, and so we had

194
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: to take a cab two Aimes, Iowa. Then my mom

195
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want them to know that I

196
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: forgot my credit cards. So like I'm running across like

197
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: this bean field to like get to the practice facility

198
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: because they're not allowed to pick you up when you

199
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: off campus and stuff like that. And eventually we had

200
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: to take like a megabus which is two hours to

201
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: get to the University of Iowa. And then and then

202
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: finally at the mL was like, I'm gonna call a

203
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: car service so we can just get to the airport.

204
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: And then this is in the middle of nowhere, So

205
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: this dude was like, you want the Lincoln or the Cadillac.

206
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: And my mom was like, just whatever, the Lincoln. This

207
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: dude turns out to be like a hoarder. So like

208
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: he just had like trash like in the car, so

209
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: like he was driving like a tuna fish can and

210
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: like slide across. It was a crazy I was like,

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: there ain't no way God wants me to go to Iowa.

212
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: The next thing you know, I'm at Iowa State And

213
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: it was because Fred Hoiberg. I mean he was just

214
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: a honest dude. Told me he was gonna let me

215
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: have the ball in my hands, and it was that's

216
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: what it was. From there. That's crass. You might have

217
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: been in Iowa if they had Uber back then to

218
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: lift your college have been totally different. Shouts a home

219
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: boy driving the tune of whip. That's nasty detail. But

220
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: like wow, I would though like those two schools, like

221
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: you didn't like with Bruit Nah, Like bc BC was

222
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: like I remember Wayne Selden got an offer from them,

223
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: and he was like if they offer you, like, I'll

224
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: go there with you. And Steve Donohue, I mean he's

225
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: the coach at Penn. So we've talked because I'm in

226
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia now, but like nobody else was like at that point,

227
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: like that was the first time made school. They were like, ah,

228
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: what position does he play? Like he's not a three,

229
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: he's not big enough to play a four. He don't

230
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: dunk on nobody. Yeah, So it was like Providence came

231
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: in late with like Ed Cooley, but I had already committed.

232
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Billy Donovan was late. But you know, if I went

233
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: to Florida that I've been all bad, me different. Yeah,

234
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: and then like in the midst of like George Mason

235
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: was another school, but Larnaga took the Miami job, and

236
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: like I said, if I could to Florida, nah, Miami.

237
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: But I didn't really have a position. I didn't really

238
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: like my highlights were nasty, like people like they do

239
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: highlights like me. I like Nike Peach and people like

240
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: I didn't just waste three minutes of my life watching

241
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: jump hucks and it's crazy. You do got a nasty game,

242
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: Like it's effective. Yeah it happened, the ball, the ball

243
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: goes in the hoop. Yeah, it's nasty, but effect. I

244
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: used to say that we was in practice with the Pikes,

245
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: which I block his game so ugly, but he's so

246
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: nice though, Like he's the cud. Yeah, what's your goal

247
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: to move though? What you fuck him up with? Shoot? Yeah,

248
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: talking a little bit. I mean I've always had that. Yeah, Jeff,

249
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: you know he got the you know whatever. That looks sweet.

250
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: And then he run you know, he run back. Don't

251
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: have no emotions, just like yeah, you know what I mean.

252
00:12:54,440 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: He got a chap stick in his socks. I can't

253
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: chat to Charles Rockley right with your belly button Charles

254
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: Rockets putting. He put vastling his belly buttons chap and

255
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, that's the nash sh he's out. Yeah,

256
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: that's sick, Chatti. Get the socks though. Nah. But I

257
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: first knowed you when you was at Iowa State. I

258
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: watched all of basketball. I watched college basketball like a

259
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: fan back then, and you were killing but you had

260
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: a rare game like you were doing dribble handoffs, fake

261
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: dribble handoffs, running point, shooting threes. And I'm like, man,

262
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: what I couldn't figure you out. I'm like, how is

263
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: he killings? Moving in slow motion? Yeah? I was like

264
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: a little boris d out. Yeah, you know where It's like,

265
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: I think the college game is so traditional where it

266
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: was like play through the big, like you know, when

267
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: you first got to the NBA, played through the big.

268
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: You know, there was no real like movement where Fred

269
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: Hoiberg we played five out. You know, I would make

270
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: I would play center just because I was big enough

271
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: to you know, guard a center back back then and

272
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: then drag them away from the hoop. And they couldn't

273
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: guard me that far away from the hoop. I was

274
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: able to just change direction and dribble, fake handoffs and

275
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: then I could shoot three. So that's uh, that made

276
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: me effective there. But little did I realize when I

277
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: got to the NBA, there was like, uh, cut all

278
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: that ship up, he said. I first, NBA will put

279
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: you in a box, like they want you to do

280
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: one thing. You're gonna do that one thing. So I

281
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: got a question for y'all regarding that. How you think

282
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: is a better situation to go forward with kids? Like

283
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: now it's in prep because like you said, you can

284
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: go to college and do whatever the fuck you want too,

285
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: as long as you found whatever coach you got going.

286
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: But you can get to the league and they can

287
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: kind of like shift your game. Is it more beneficial

288
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: to be like, all right, fun college. I might as

289
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: well go to a G league or be in a

290
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: structured place to where they gonna teach me how to

291
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: play at this level. Or do you want to go

292
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: to college and learn how do you play your own

293
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: game and then just fit in once you get to

294
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: the next situation. Man, that's tough because there's some people

295
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: that you know, they've before they've even gotten to college,

296
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: they've grown to college like so that they need to

297
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: go to like they're they're too talented, they're too big

298
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: of a name, they need to go to the legal league.

299
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: But then there's some guys that think they're too big

300
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: for college that really need to go beat like disciplined

301
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: and learn how to play and you know, learn how

302
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: to grind and actually work before they actually get to league.

303
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: So it's like a person by person basis on that one.

304
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: But I do like what the G league ignite thing does,

305
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: but it also can't hurt guys that think they're better

306
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: than they are. And you get caught taking five hundred

307
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: grand to come out and that's the most money you

308
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: ever see and you don't see that that you show

309
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: what you can't do, and they're like, why would I

310
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: waste time? I'm playing this kid that's real. Like you said,

311
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: you you gotta sell yourself one way or another. I

312
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: know it's a little bit later. Now we ain't gonna

313
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: talk about the past. But you know what I'm saying,

314
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: nil deal how you feel you would have eight? You

315
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I especially what you be. You

316
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, the ten year player. You know

317
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: what college basketball loves anybody, classmate, Man, I was all

318
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: those you know, four years in the tournament. The farmer

319
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: money out there I would have had, I would have

320
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: had a good experience out there. But now that I

321
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: think about it, if I had, because I remember when

322
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: I got out of college, I did like a signing

323
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: for like ten grand and I thought I was rich.

324
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: I was like, you couldn't tell me. I was driving

325
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: up to North American Minnesota buying true religion, like I

326
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: thought the time period I thought I was living. Yeah,

327
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: that ain't cool to wear that, not the truth? Where

328
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: would you want? Man? Yeah, you don't do that, the

329
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: true religion. Give me a period. When you talked about

330
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: give me a period, trying to give me the true

331
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: religion fit without the uh the nigga that's built like

332
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: me on the front of the shirt. Just give me

333
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: the regular true religion fit. Just now. You don't want

334
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: the boot on your ship, give me a little coastal

Speaker 1: symbol on that bitch. Ain't no little true religious opperside

336
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: of T shirts And like this bit it looked like

337
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: the Lucky Are Cereal box, the gray one. I wore

338
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: it in the summer. That was my biggest mistake because

339
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, it gets hot. It takes me like raise

340
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: your hand. It wasn't the club going crazy. Was so embarrassed, dude.

341
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: I was like, from now on, just black teath in

342
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: the summer. But how was it? Thought? I though? Did

00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: you have fun? Yeah? I mean so that was kind

344
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: of really like where I enjoyed, like the outside of basketball, right,

345
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: but it wasn't too crazy where like it got out

346
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: of hand, like I could still manage to get controlled.

347
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: But like people out in the Midwest, they just know

348
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: how to drink, man, nothing else to it. There's like

349
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: people that drinking and there's people from the Midwest. They

00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: that's crazy. That would have been elected you and had

360
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,960

361
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: What it targe you the wake visit or just because

362
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,320

00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: a dream, That's really what it was. Damn. She said,

364
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,920

365
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: It's less it was over and then let's talk about

366
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: that's crazy. So you know what I'm saying, you do

367

Speaker 1: your thing. Iway stay Now it's time to go to

368
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: the NBA. How was it like the workout process? You

369
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Because you were second round pick,

370
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: so I imagine you probably had to do a lot

371
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: more shit than like you know, most people have to

372
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: who going on a couple of top slots. Was it

373
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: more favorable for you or was it like more of

374
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: a stressful time? Like damn, Like I gotta go get

375
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: this ship cracking, Like yeah, I mean to be honest

376
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: with you, you know, my agent had a good plan

377
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: of like what teams he knew, like actually would value

378
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: like what I was, what I brought. And I remember

379
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 1: my last workout was Indiana, and I just remember him

380
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: he all the other workouts, whether it was like the Clippers,

381
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: I forget who else I worked out for, but he

382
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: was like that one like you need, like that's the

383
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: one you need to shill. And I'm like, what are

384
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: you talking about, Like they're about they're trying to trade.

385
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: He's like they might trade that first round pick, but

386
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: they have a second round pick. Da da da. So

387
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: I think I was in there with like Yogi Pharaoh,

388
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: Check Diallo, maybe even Bryce Johnson. I can't remember, but

389
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: I ended up playing really well in that workout and

390
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Pritchard I remember, yeah it came and had a

391
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: conversation with me after and I was like, oh damn,

392
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: that went better than all the other workouts. Then you

393
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: get to draft night and I was the best worst

394
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: night in my life. It was fifty picks before you

395
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: That was like four hours of sitting there just waiting.

396
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: It felt like forever and then you know that's when

397
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: you can. I mean, that whole trade happened. He was

398
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: coming in then, so Jeff really kind of stole like

399
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: the limelight because it was like the Indiana kids coming

400
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: back like yeah, I'm like, yeah, yeah, we ain't gonna

401
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: talk about fifty. We just got this dude. He chose

402
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: that weekend number. I feel would tell you said you

403
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: was gonna pick fifty. I was gonna where zero, but na,

404
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't giving that up. So I had forty four

405
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: so I can throw a west side elligates. But I

406
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: was just as mad as you. But go ahead. Nah.

407
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you, though, was you thinking

408
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: NBA the whole time or was you like, yo, I

409
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: might have to go overseas or nothing, like, no, I'm

410
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: going to the league. I mean I always like the league.

411
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: Was always like that's where I wanted to go. But

412
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I never was like working

413
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: on like I gotta get to the league where like

414
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: most people do. I was like I'm trying to be

415
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: All American or I'm trying to be you know what

416
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean, first Team All American or like a big

417
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: Big twelve Player of the Year and then it was like,

418
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: oh shit, your name's on draft boards. Like I was like, damn,

419
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: I could actually because my whole like like if you

420
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: look at my game, like yeah it is nasty, it's effective,

421
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: but like I never really thought because nobody ever gave

422
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: me like the reassurance to be like, yo, you your

423
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: game is league. You know what I mean? Like you,

424
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: it was always like yeah, you nice, like if we

425
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: played at the y MC. I've always been I mean,

426
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: like someone stay true to who he was. But like

427
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: you look at my game now, like you watch like

428
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: college film, I was spin moves up and understil Like

429
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: now it's like catching, shooting and drive and obviously I

430
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: could do other stuff, but you realize, like if you

431
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: could fit a role, there's probably like five to six

432
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: to seven roles on the team. If you could fit

433
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: one of those, you could really like just stick it out.

434
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: Like I didn't realize that. Like when I first got

435
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: to Indiana, like I'll never forget, it was preseason and

436
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: I got in and I traveled and I seen Nate McMillan.

437
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: He was walking to like the coach's hudder, and he

438
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: was like someone has to talk to him. He travels

439
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: every time he's about to dribble into my head, I'm like,

440
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: I should just never dribble again, you know what I mean? Like,

441
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: so you gotta find like where you where you really fit,

442
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: and who's going to give you an opportunity to do that?

443
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: Like not throwing shade at him, but it like it

444
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: kind of helped me realize, like, all right, there's some

445
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: things that I could get away with before, but now

446
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: it's like all right now the box of like being

447
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: a corner three point maker. That that helped me just

448
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: stick around long enough to get more opportunities to show

449
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: what else I could do. Who puts you? Like? Who?

450
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: Who got you into that mindset? Though? Because Quinn Snyder, Yeah, uh,

451
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: he's like a I don't know how to explain it,

452
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: but he's like a basketball and yeah, like a mad scientist.

453
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: Like that's like he's just so in depth with his detail,

454
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: you know that. I just remember like he had one

455
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: of the assistant coaches come talk to me. It was like, hey,

456
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we signed to you, but if you

457
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: want to play, like you have to make that shot

458
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: and not let someone just straight line drive you on

459
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: the other end, all right, just start running to the corner,

460
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: I'll pass it the ball. Corner threes. So literally, like

461
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: my first year when I was with them, all I

462
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: did was just rep out corner threes. And you know

463
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: how the NBA is, like if you don't know who

464
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: a dude is and you out there, the ball gets

465
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: passing on three point line, you're like, man, so if

466
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: you miss, all right, they're gonna keep. But you start making,

467
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: then you start getting reputation like all right, like this

468
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: dude can make shots. And then you know the evolution

469
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: of three point shot and making you know, on the move,

470
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, all that, and then you eventually figure

471
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: out like damn, if I can make three pointers and

472
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: keep guys out of superstars laps when they ice oning,

473
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: that's that's a role, you know, And that's kind of

474
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: like what I've carved out here. And uh, it didn't

475
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: look that promising when I was my rookie year, but

476
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: it took some time to figure out, and uh, I'm

477
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: going this is year seven. So it's crazy. A salute

478
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: to that bro, because the way that you made it,

479
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: like you said, you didn't have a situation where you

480
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: just came in and got drafted. I'm playing and I'm

481
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: here next contract. You had to really grind, and like

482
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: you said, you came into a situation to that shit

483
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: changes a lot of players because you came into a

484
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: votel situation in Indiana where a lot of unmoving parsons

485
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: going on and a lot of things should have happened

486
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. Also, like you said, shout out to

487
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: coast with Milan, but you know where he was at

488
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: with the organization of that and with the players. That

489
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: was all different places. And this is your first experience

490
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: in the business of basketball. That can break a lot

491
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: of people because, like you said, you big toe a

492
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: player of the year, Like you come in like I'm

493
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: used to do whatever I want to and it's like, nah,

494
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: you gotta do this. That breaks a lot of players

495
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, off the sense of I've been doing

496
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: this shit in my whole life and now you're telling

498
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: advantage of a situation and you're making a full career

499
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: out of that ship. Now we're talking about the pace.

525
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: of the other events, you know it didn't step up

526
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,600

536
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,280

00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: rookie should have have a vet that actually like looks

538
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: out for them. I mean I think I was the

539
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: only rookie on the team, but he actually like showed me, show,

540
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,159

542
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: season for me, but you know, my God always always

00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: you go through that first year and then after that,

608
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, take us a little bit through that journey,

609
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: because I'm saying you obviously moved around a little bit.

610
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: He was in the G League. How was it like

611
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: going through that first year in the NBA and they're

612
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: transitioning to the G League and then you end up

613
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: transditioning back out to Utah. But how was that Thompston

614
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: for you? Like, man, that was a humbling experience. That's like,

615
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you I get cut, you know, so you

616
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: hit rock bottom. You're like, damn, but I just mess

617
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: up the only opportunity that I'll ever have to to

618
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: play in the NBA. And and then the best thing

619
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: I did was I was able to sign a exhibit ten,

620
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: which is like you're going down to the league with

621
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, so I could see how yeah,

622
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: so I could see how like k D Steph Clay Draymond,

623
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: how they work like every day. And then to be

624
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: around guys like andre I goodal A, Sean Livingston, like

625
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: you got to see like, so I went from one

626
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: one side of the spectrum to the other where it's

627
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: like they just won a championship and so just to

628
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: see how they had a daily routine. I think that

629
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 1: was the biggest thing for me, is just you know,

630
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: you can't just work on the days that you feel

631
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: like work. And it was more or less that, you know,

632
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: you gotta do it everywhere every day and get a

633
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: little bit better every single day. So obviously that was humbling,

634
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, being there and being in the G League

635
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: having to start making you go. I think I made

636
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty my rookie year, and then my

637
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: checks every two weeks were like nine hundred dollars because

638
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: I was making twenty five grand in California, damn and

639
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: a Cruise Warriors. That's when it was like, all right,

640
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: I better make I better make this shakeout or you

641
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't got no other choice.

642
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: So obviously the G League is a it's the same game,

643
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: but it's totally different. You can get away with, you know,

644
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: over dribbling and stuff like that. But it allowed me

645
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: to show what I really was doing in college at

646
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: kind of the NBA level. And then I got that

647
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: two way contract, which rather than having to be on

648
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: a ten day which is I can't imagine the pressure

649
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: to do is on a ten day, got a field,

650
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: so then I was allowed to like you know, play

651
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 1: the rest of the year on a two way. Obviously

652
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: he got practice time, you know, summer league, and I

653
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: had a good summer league and I ended up getting

654
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: signed as like one of the fourteen fifteenth man. And

655
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: the thing that saved me was Tabo Cephalosha had got

656
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: suspended for five games. Yeah, so they had to play

657
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: me in like spot minutes and I made shots for

658
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: five games. He came back played over me, but I

659
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: ended up getting back in the rotation and from there

660
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: on how it was. And that's real, breaking a rotation.

661
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: Like I always say, it's like as much as people

662
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: talk about athletes and like how much they get paid, Yeah,

663
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: but you couldn't imagine like people grind up for them

664
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: to days. You gotta make the most out of nothing

665
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: because you ain't getting too many opportunities borrowing somebody getting

666
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: crazy injured. You probably not gonna shoot the ball that much.

667
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: You gotta do something in that time period for a

668
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: team to be like, hey we got to keep him around.

669
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: Why are they looking at eight other different prospects. But

670
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: like you said, you made that shit happen. Got there,

671
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: got the All Star got it cracking. And then you

672
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: get to Utah and know what I'm saying with coach Schnyder,

673
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: how was that because you was a Utah when Utah

674
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: and what I'm saying had like a revamp. You know

675
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, You got you got Rudy. How was

676
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: that experience? Like getting back nickname? Oh wow, I was

677
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna bring that up. Now he had a fire nickname.

678
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: See here you go. What that's the g wagon it

679
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: went for mini Vintag told me to talk about I'm

680
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: talking about nah. So I was. I was out the

681
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: rotation and we was beating Brooklyn like bad, and they

682
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: subbed me in the game and I had a chance

683
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: to go up and dunking, you know, like them the

684
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: rim grade is like barely over the rim. So Joe Ingoes,

685
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: who's like the king of talking shit on the team,

686
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: was like, man, what the heck was that? I was like, whoa, whoa, Listen,

687
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm not like a Ferrari like the rest of y'all.

688
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: More like a minivan. I need a couple of apps

689
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: around the block five get the top speed and then

690
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: the silar reports like the minivan. I love that. And

691
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: then I was screwed after that if you would have

692
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: went to the rucker there like the minivan, Yeah, like escalade,

693
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. When I heard it, I

694
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: was like, they call you the minivan. Yeah, this dude

695
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: was talking when I was shooting threes in the corner,

696
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, trying to make a living. This dude was

697
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: on the bench like yo, No, he was like you

698
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: made that. I knew you was gonna look at me.

699
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: That's why it was so fun. Compete that gets him

700
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: because it's like somebody you watched go through it and yeah,

701
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: it's like damn, he having his moment and he was killing,

702
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: mocking shoot. And like you said, your time is impeccable

703
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: because a lot of people come in the league different

704
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: times to where your specialty may expire in two years.

705
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: You can't in a situation to where it now the

706
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: premium the most important position. Like you look at guys

707
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: like Doc and Robinson, k Robinson, I've had a ship

708
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: telling them to do one thing and now they're kind

709
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: of like, where really fuck with that? But he hit

710
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: at the right time. My god. As you can get

711
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: a test to free agency matters about timing out, about

712
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: situation timing and you in a perfect a perfect situation

713
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: right now, boy, and you go are better than what

714
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: they give you credit for our times like yo, And

715
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: that's that's another thing that I want to talk about.

716
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: Let him know. The perception is crazy. You got a

717
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: little yeah, because at the end of the day, someone

718
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: will look at someone that looks like they can defend, right,

719
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: but someone will drive past them four straight times and

720
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: they don't even you know what I mean, don't even

721
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: bad eye. But if someone go by me, oh look

722
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: at them, look defend That's what I mean. Yeah, I

723
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: would never defender though. Yeah, but you know what it

724
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: was is like because you have like the emotionless face

725
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: that people didn't think that you cared right. So like

726
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: he would even tell me on the bench watched this

727
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: like he'll go go throw a lob and be like

728
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: and coach, be like just in the game today, Like

729
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: what because yeah, for real? But he'd be doing the

730
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 1: same stuff like dropping down and be a nice pass

731
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: lay up and be like he look look at him,

732
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: Look he looks like he's sleep out of there. Like look,

733
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you want him? Like that? Like

734
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: that was never you, but he he knew you knew

735
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: how to play the game, and now that I'm seven

736
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: years in, I know exactly. So would you call yourself

737
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: an elite defender? Uh? I mean, Okay, here's what I'm

738
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: gonna say. I feel like there's guys that get picked

739
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: are you know in the playoffs, are like that guy's

740
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: in every Like I'm doing two things. I'm talking crazy

741
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: shit and I'm just gonna be ultra physical, like you

742
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to have me just fouled, like you know

743
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not like you're gonna have to

744
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: hit tough contested jump rover. You're not just gonna and

745
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: then like think you're just driving by me, Like if

Speaker 1: you drive by me one time, it's like, you know

747
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: exactly where Like these other guys that are out there

00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: that get picked on, they're like they don't want to

749
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: touch nobody up. Yeah, No, it ain't sweeting. We ain't

750
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: switching for y'a. So how was it like when you

751
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: had to leave Utah? Was it bitter sweet dad? No?

752
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: I mean that hurt. I mean that really hurt. Like

753
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: that was like the first time where I felt like

754
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: I really like earned earned my roster, spart earned to

755
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: be there, and it was like, yeah, like we we

756
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: signed Rudy Gay, Like you know, we're going in a

757
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: different direction, and you know, I'll never throw shade on

758
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: another player, but obviously you look at other people and

759
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: where they are in their career, like Rudy Gay has

760
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: had a hell of a career. But in my mind,

761
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: in my mind, I was like, but like what I did,

762
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: Like I shot forty percent, like you know what I mean,

763
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: I came in, never complained and like that was just

764
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: taking for granted. But you know, like it up once

765
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: you left, like because it seems like that was all

766
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: like super cool, like even seeing y'all after the game, like, yeah,

767
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: was a cheesecake factory and shit, I'm like that's the

768
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: only place I could go for real. Ru Rudy was

769
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: there temporarily, he was trying. He still there, but I'm

770
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: just saying I just felt like they probably I don't

771
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: think that was really where he probably wanted to go

772
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: at first though you think really wanted to be there.

773
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean shit, I mean, I mean you go where

774
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: the money. I mean, you go where the money goes.

775
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: But so like you when you're like when you're a

776
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: free agent, you're thinking like if the team sign signed

777
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: someone that kind of does the same thing that you

778
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: do for more money than where you're making. They chose

779
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: him over you, so I had to go find another place.

780
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, which that was like damn, So you didn't

781
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: really value what I did. You felt like you had

782
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: to go get someone else to do something that I

783
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: did and think they're gonna do it better. So that

784
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: was my first time and that I never had free

785
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: agency where teams were like, hey, we're asking about you.

786
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: So I was like, I was like, damn, like that

787
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: that really Like that was one where when I got

788
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: to Philly, I was like, damn, I I missed Utah,

789
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: but I know they don't really care about me. And

790
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: then when you play alongside like two superstars that like

791
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: demand like double teams and stuff like that, you like, shit,

792
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: I thought I was opening Utah, but yeah, even like

793
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: I just double team, try to trapping. I hope he missed,

794
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: Like you know what, I'm getting wide open shot after

795
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: wide open shot, and it's it was. It was a

796
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: blessing because I didn't think it was a blessing in

797
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: the beginning, but it really helped, like helped me show

798
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: the NBA or other gms like how much more I

799
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: have to offer in my game if I'm given the

800
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: opportunity and you own a team that's highlighted in the

801
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: last everybody's seeing you every week. Yeah, you think it's

802
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's a difference, but you think it's

803
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: a really big difference, like when you and them smaller

804
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: market teams, Like even if you're going crazy, yeah for sure,

805
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: look at Dave Millard ye talk about it. It It should

806
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: have been an all star off the jump. But like

807
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: being in Sacramento, it's like even though they're playing good

808
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: as hell this year and it's yeah, yeah, they still

809
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: they're like third in the West, and they still don't

810
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: even get like they gonna around get to two seed

811
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: and they still don't give a shit and they haven't

812
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: made a playoffs in fifteen years. Like the bean Man,

813
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: they was it was due, They was due for a

814
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: good year. Yeah, but I mean what you mean there

815
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: was dude, They was due seven years ago. They was

816
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: doing year. They ain't been good since Baby was there.

817
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: Come on, man, that what they're doing over there, that's

818
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: real effort. It's not just the luck, you know what

819
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: I mean. Damn, I ain't saying it was luck. I'm

820
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: just saying it was like it's just supposed to. Yeah,

821
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that ain't no they were sketchers. You'd

822
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: be like, nah, they ain't doue that bullshit. All I'm

823
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: saying is they they are good team here. They had

824
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: every fucking draft pick since my fucking ninety seven. So

825
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: you first draft first round, you do for a good

826
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: season and disrespect him marpen Backley, but boarded they fuck

827
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: up that draft that was supposed to get them back

828
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: by sill over there no after body had the picks

829
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: on the draft. Shout out to my nigga. The bris

830
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: Cousins fuck the same time. So now blodie out of there.

831
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: See you go. That's why they made it. You play

832
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: with two, you know what I'm saying, Hollo tanem so

833
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: far in your career, I gotta ask you. I think

834
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: obviously we know where you're going with this, But what's

835
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: the difference between playing with Donovan and Rudy and the

836
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: difference between playing with Hardening and b Oh? I mean

837
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: and b demand though I do it for you, bro,

838
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: he demands double teams. Rudy didn't demand no double Yeah.

839
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like Rudy is like think about who we

840
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: had like in Utah, right, like we had all a

841
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: like six eight you know, not really NBA athletic like

842
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: shooters like Royce, Nio Joe and Goes Boy. Yeah, we

843
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: even had Mike Conley. So I mean quins Steiner was like, hey,

844
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: worst comes to worst, just press up into your guy,

845
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: stay on his hip, going to the rim rudy, you

846
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like at the end of the day,

847
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: I remember sometimes just guided my guy and the rudy

848
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: and then just falling right off into the big like

849
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: he gonna either block. It effected like you're going full speed,

850
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: gotta shoot over a seven two shot blocker. It changes

851
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: the game and we're taking away the three point line,

852
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: I mean defect. Like, so we were allowed to play

853
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: defense a crazy way which didn't give any teams advantage.

854
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: Like if you wanted to beat this, you would have

855
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: had to make like twenty five mid range jump shots

856
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: at like a fifty percent clip, which is like unheard of.

857
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: And then you you know, Donovan was so athletic, dynamic,

858
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: like he just creative out there, like you've seen him

859
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: last night. He hits someone with a sham guy and

860
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: then a pull up three like you know what I mean,

861
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: And then he's just he's just he was something that

862
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: we didn't have. We always you know, I hate to

863
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: say unathletic, but like to the NBA standard of like,

864
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: so none of us had the ability to like really

865
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: go buy anybody. And Quinn's a mastermind at creating advantages.

866
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: Then you have Donovan and someone that could play one

867
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: on one. So it's like two different dynamics because now

868
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm playing with guys that don't need any action, like

869
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: they all go get a bucket regardless from the other

870
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 1: side of the core in the corner being double team

871
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: like we played last night. I don't know when y'all

872
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: gonna art, But against the Bucks, I mean, James, we

873
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: was down fifteen points going into the fourth quarter. It

874
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: was like James Harden was like, all right, come on,

875
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, lay up, three step

876
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: back and next thing, you know, you like like Jayalen

877
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: McDaniel said to me, he was like, oh we win it.

878
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, Like this dude just really just

879
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: put the team on his back. And I mean it

880
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: did just two different people, but the dynamic dude of

881
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: Joel and and James, I don't know, I don't know

882
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen a pick and roll tandem like

883
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: that in this error of the game with switching because

884
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: you can't switch, like were you gonna put your big

885
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: on James, because we're you gonna do, put your the

886
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: guard that's guarded on Joel like it's over, and then

887
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: you surround that with shooting, you know what I mean,

888
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: That's how you get some chicken and in that way,

889
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 1: like you said it regardless and if you don't cover,

890
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna get free throws. And I asked a question

891
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: because people, as much as I'm not the biggest Rudy fair, Yo,

892
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: his defense changed a lot. Like so being able to,

893
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: like you said, close out and send somebody to the

894
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: room can't be just effective. It's being able to throw

895
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: the ball in the post if you playing the right

896
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: way right, No, you you ain't lying. I mean. The

897
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: thing about Joel is that you want to come double team.

898
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: He has that mid range where he'll just shoot over you.

899
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: Elite you see teams just get discouraged because they come

900
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: to double and he's looking and shooting right over you,

901
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: whereas like Rudy, it's more of like a lob threat.

902
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: But on the defense event, he's he's stopped another team

903
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: from scoring twenty easy thirty easy points because they ain't Jilly.

904
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: You know, Jill, you're thinking about that shit for you

905
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: coming to back. Come on, I remember we played, remember

906
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: what he was in India. They're like, go bear, I

907
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: remember dan Bert, Go bear. If you go in there,

908
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: just think about it, whether if you're gonna kick out

909
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 1: or try and shoot a layer, because damn, his blocks

910
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: turn into like they're like turnovers for us. They're leading

911
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: the fast break points for them. And like you said,

912
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: that's a part of the getting that people don't really

913
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: put together. Like like you said, a quick little contest

914
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: or a block is a layup on the other ear.

915
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 1: It's just an effect of getting that bitch in the posts. Also,

916
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: James Hard boss here, I don't, I don't know. That's crazy. Yeah,

917
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: James Hard not gotta at absolutely like for no reason.

918
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: I understand every about respected those who had good years.

919
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: I shot down't nobody, but James Harden was cooking two

920
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: eleven and seven. Give somebody else, Just give somebody else.

921
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: He's a hitter. That's just what it is. It's an

922
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: equal opportunity. If anybody else had this stet line, but

923
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: the Max do talk about it, but it's crazy. I

924
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: got a question, though, what are you listening to game day?

925
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: You got some music that gets you together or you know,

926
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: obviously being in Philly, you know Meek Miller eventually comes on.

927
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: But you know who I really really been listening to

928
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: his NBA Young Boy, Yes, my CEG. That's why I mean,

929
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: so I don't So here's the thing. It's like where

930
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: I've come, where I've come from. I can't really say

931
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: that I really, you know, understand something he's talking about.

932
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: But it's okay. I'm here to god. When I heard

936
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: things that I'm listening to on a constant basis. But

937
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: his music definitely gets me me hype. That's what's something.

938
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: I remember what he was listening to because we had

939
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: a whole argument last week about NAS and I just

940
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,279

Speaker 1: really like happening. Yeah, you ain't going a couple blocks

1060
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: away for long. I've been what's the place across the

1061
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: street that longs you went to the icon? Yeah, I'm

1062
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: custu man. Okay, lets the boat, baby, Okay, y'all retarded

1063
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: being so much trouble man. I'm just like, what's the

1064
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: difference between your team this year and last year? Like,

1065
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I got I was I

1066
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: did like some radio showing on that text that yeah,

1067
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: you're like hilarious, but it was like the way I

1068
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: said it was like you have a roster, like when

1069
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: someone takes like a max contract, if like he was

1070
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: beneficial for us, like get in there and passed, like

1071
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So like when I'm when

1072
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: I signed to come there, you know, I'm thinking like, oh,

1073
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: this is perfect, like another big guard that can get

1074
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: into lane and loves to pass, Like how many more

1075
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: open shots am I gonna get? And then when you

1076
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: decide like like so the team doesn't get anything from that,

1077
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 1: I'm not playing, Like so now you gotta start from

1078
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 1: like minus thirty three million, like that's tough, and everybody

1079
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: knows like he wasn't just getting traded head up, you

1080
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,959
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So now when you thinking about

1081
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: stuff you can't control you out there like damn, like

1082
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: am I playing too well? Like am I going to

1083
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: get attached on to him to get these as? Then

1084
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: you twitter the worst thing because you know you're going

1085
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: to Sacramento? Are you going to Detroit? Are you going

1086
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: to you know what I mean? You like, dang, I

1087
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: just got here, like like I'm just getting acclimated and

1088
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 1: then when you trade for someone you know as dynamic

1089
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: and prolific as James Harden, I mean, you gotta like

1090
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: change the way you do things because like he has

1091
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: to fit you know what you're doing. So we didn't

1092
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: have enough time to really get that rolling. I think

1093
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,240
Speaker 1: this year we've had time him to like build chemistry

1094
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 1: and see what we like and what we can be

1095
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: better at. And it obviously took us a little bit,

1096
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: but I think you could when you'll watch, you could

1097
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: see glimpses of like, oh damn, like they for real.

1098
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: And then there's other times where you're like, all right,

1099
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: they still got they still got some ship to figure

1100
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: out before they are are really good to you. Bro

1101
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: ye got hurt oh Man twenty five in the first half.

1102
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: I think that little injury kind of setting back a

1103
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,919
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, I mean I think when you play

1104
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: with and you have that much athleticism, when you have

1105
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 1: something like that mentally, I mean you would No, I've

1106
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: never I've done moved fast enough to but yeah, for sure,

1107
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: and then you know the adjustment of coming off the bench.

1108
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: But now he started, I think he's damaging like twenty eight. Yeah,

1109
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like I know, y'all went through like that

1110
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,640

1263
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:43,040

1264
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: that's your top five for players, all right? And I

1265
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: got top five cities. What's your top five cities? You

1268
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: road trips will, but ain't got getting into the tail.

1269
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying. Toronto is one facts,

1270
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Miami is two facts. Uh, just this don't go on anywhere.

1271
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: These three off New York, LA, Phoenix. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1272
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: he got a nice top. So I'm gonna throw Atlanta

1273
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: in there from me. Yeah, product placement. Yeah. I haven't

1274
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: been able to really, you know, experience Atlanta, you know, thoroughly,

1275
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: because you know, we've either been on the back to back,

1276
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: we haven't really had like three four days in Atlanta,

1277
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: but I've heard a great things. Y'all be shitty, we'll

1278
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: be having no fire as cities and on the back

1279
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: to back. Hey play in Minnesota, and we used to

1280
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: leave fucking Atlanta so fast I can imagine, because like

1281
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: I know, y'all probably can't st talking to too much.

1282
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: But can y'all take a letter fly like fron the Palm,

1283
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Like I know, you travel the same, paying nothing when

1284
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 1: you ride free like that, you know, pay for a

1285
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: charter when you already got a charter. No way to

1286
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: make no sense. But there are some people who do

1287
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: shout they checked different. We don't know who that is.

1288
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: Check different, all right, So you know what I say.

1289
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: So we ain't gonna talk about what I'm saying in

1290
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: the off season, but you know we're coming to mind

1291
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: as far as what you might do, what you think

1292
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: about doing it. You can moving on this too. How

1293
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 1: is it when you like thinking like all right, cool,

1294
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: I might want to fuck with this, or I'm looking

1295
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: throughout the season like this look cool, like I wonder

1296
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: how I feel with this? Now it's more open. You

1297
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: got boys, like you said back then you had to

1298
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: just deal whatever the fun they said. Now you'll can

1299
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 1: get on the Twitter, but like fuck with this or

1300
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: he going crazy over here? Is that looked upon of

1301
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: your decision where you're kind of thinking about what you

1302
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: might do, or just like I'm just gonna keep in

1303
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the back of my head just in case it becomes

1304
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: relevant because a lot of fans on nowhere is talkers

1305
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: all the time. Obviously no tampering and ship, but you

1306
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: know your agents do that shit for you, Like we're

1307
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: joining teams, not even join the team, Like you know,

1308
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad at this, like nothing to a criminate,

1309
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: but just like look at situations like that might be

1310
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: cool type shit. But yeah, yeah, I mean I think

1311
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: everybody had human Yeah, I mean like you always got

1312
01:07:55,720 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: your own opinion. I mean, for the polically correct crowd,

1313
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: I think you should not tweet that I'll keep the

1314
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: thoughts to yourself. Yeah, don't be stupid. Yeah, but you know,

1315
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: I think they're guys talk over the summer, what they

1316
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,000

1317
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: going on right now. We'll just have to wait and

1318
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: see what, you know, two years from now happens. Yes, sir,

1319
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be some crazy stuff going on. I

1320
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: just hate the bullshit they'd be like, look, y'all, just

1321
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: because athletes make good money compared to most people, it's

1322
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: still a job. If I'm about to transfer a job.

01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: what do you think is the next step of his game?

1331
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: But you see going crazy for him, don't people? Boys? Yeah,

1332
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:57,240

1333
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: on the other side of the spectrum now, like being

1334
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: a player now working in the office. G is one

1335
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: of those guys that you you spot out like, man,

1337
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: better team, a better ball club because he does the

1338
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: little things. Obviously you can shoot the ball, so he

1339
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: knows what he has to do. You just gotta perfect

1340
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: those I always tell people, do what you do best.

1341
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: Don't start trying to do shit like trying to dunk

1342
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: on niggas. Shit. But you keep hitting up quarter three,

Speaker 1: That's a lot of people say, like I mean, being

1346
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 1: the start. Obviously it is a cool thing. But if you,

1347
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: like you said, your situation, you came in, regrind and

1348
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: rebuilt yourself to the point to where now you're gonna

1349
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: have to you know what I'm saying, longevity the league.

1351
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:43,920

1354
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: figure some shit out in the whole situation. Now you're

1355
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: in a situation your team contended. It's lit And before

1356
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: we get out of here, how is it playing for Doc?

1357
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: I always wonder how they's playing for Doc Rivers. Yeah, nah,

1358
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: Doc is you know, he's a motivator man. I mean, obviously,

1359
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: he's one of the best coaches to ever you know, coach,

1360
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: and he does a great job of just motivating this group.

1361
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: And he's he's had so much experience, so he's pretty

1362
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:14,640
Speaker 1: much seen everything you know in the game. So the

1363
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: fact that you know, I've been able to play unto

1364
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,919

1365
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: for me and it's allowed me to grow as a player.

1366
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: But I think the coolest part is he actually is

1367
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: still like confidence where some coaches wouldn't do that. He's

1368
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: that's important and it don't matter about excess and those

1369
