22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure. And growing up in Spain, I know

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,000

35
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: how much like shirt says Barcelona yet, because, like, you know,

36

00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: That's why you don't like my Barcelona ya, Okay, that

46
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: was such a bad choice.

47
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: Mom.

48
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,280

00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Well, actually, yeah, I know.

54
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: Maybe I was like six three when I was fifteen,

55
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: and it was just like from where year to another

56
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: like five inches, and then from then like the next

57
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: year it was another five inches.

58
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

59
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: So I remember with the national team, they will just

60
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: like measure you every summer, And when I got back

61
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: the summer, I was like seventeen, they measured me twice

62
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: because they couldn't believe how much.

63
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: I agree, they thought they missed something up.

64
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: And how tall are your parents?

65
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: My dad's seven feet and my mom's like five eleven, okay, so.

66
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: This is expected.

67
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is two siblings, Yeah, a little brother. And

68
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: how tall he He's like six.

69
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: Six okay, But is he still growing.

70
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: Or oh no, I feel grow he hopes he's still growing.

71
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: Whatever your brother's name is, I hope for him that

72
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: he's still growing. So usually I like to ask players

73
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: this question where I'm like, when you were sixteen, what

74
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: during AU did you play against any other NBA players?

75
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: But knowing that your situation was a little different being

76
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: in Europe, being in Spain, did you have the opportunity

77
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: to play against any other up and coming NBA players?

78
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: I mean I played under eighteen, so it was the

79
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: day before the year before I went to college against

80
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: Shannggoon from the Rockets. I played with Garuba from the Warriors.

81
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 3: I don't know if I if I played against anybody else.

82
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 3: I know I played against Well, I didn't play. I

83
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: was way too young. I was fourteen. There were sixteen

84
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: against Lucas team, but obviously he was too good. He

85
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: was playing with the pro team already. So yeah, I

86
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: don't know. I probably played against somebody else, but I forget.

87
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: Now, okay, okay, And when did you go to your

88
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,560

89
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: first game you played in? Yeah, that's crazy.

90
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,320

00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: for college. Really, yeah, i'd never been. Well, I'm my

92
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: official visit.

93
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: That was it. I knew nothing about it.

94
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: In speaking of that, I know you had offered from

95
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Barcelona or Real Madrid.

96
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: What was it like?

97
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: What was can you take us through sort of that

98
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: decision going like the NCAA route and then also going

99
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: to Maryland. You know, like that's not probably Spain the

100
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: example of what you think about when you think about America.

101
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was.

102
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: It was a long process obviously, like you know, proteins

103
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: recruit pretty hard in Europe. But like, I don't know,

104
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: I felt like I was in my high school team.

105
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: Like the like the stuff that we got going on

106
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: there was easy and and I mean I never saw

107
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: any benefit to go into a protein And then when

108
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: I had to make the decision, I was like, well

109
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: should I go to dance double A? I wanted to study,

110
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: and I was like, you know sometimes in Europe they

111
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: don't give you the opportunity when you're that young.

112
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, let me go.

113
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: And I knew this assistant coaches with the Raptors now,

114
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: Ivo Simovich. He I mean we're super close now, and

115
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 3: I just decided to go to Loyola Maryland with him,

116
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: and I mean he like it's a small school. Obviously

117
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: I had other offers, but I mean it was it

118
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: was great for me. My first year I got there,

119
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: Uh you know, then we had COVID, So it's like

120
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: I feel like everything's like a blur, but it was.

121
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: It was super good and that's something I'll never regret.

122
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. You went a different path. That's

123
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: so cool. And when you got to Maryland, what was

124
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: your biggest culture shock. What was the biggest difference you

125
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: saw between Spain and Maryland.

126
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, for sure, the time out which people

127
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: eat dinner. Like in Spain, I would eat dinner like

128
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: nine ten, and we had to eat dinner at six

129
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: And I remember, like the whole whatever, it would close

130
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: like super early, so I was not hungry at the

131
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: time we were eating dinner, so we have to eat

132
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: without being hungry.

133
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: And then I like tens that's when you can bulk up.

134
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it worked right, but then everything closed, so like

135
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 3: I had to figure out ways of getting food. I'm

136
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: a terrible cook. Actually I'm not even a cooker, Like

137
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: I don't. You can't cook anything anything like well, chicken

138
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: or rice. That's the only thing I can.

139
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 4: Okay, to be fair, I can't even do that.

140
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 3: So that's better than Oh yeah, I had to do

141
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: it for survival purposes.

142
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: But now I'm good.

143
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I love it now. This is my last question about you.

144
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: When you were sixteen, I'm very curious about this. Did

145
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: you know that Memphis existed when you were sixteen?

146
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: I mean I did because of power Mark. Yeah that's

147
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: the only reason. If not, Like, I had never thought

148
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 3: about Memphis, and when I got drafted, I was like,

149
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: well that's cool, but like I didn't know much about

150
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: the city.

151
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, can you explain, like what when

152
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: you got drafted, Like were you scared or like, this

153
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: is this place that I've never been. I didn't really

154
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: know like existed, you know, Yeah.

155
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: It was it was cool because I mean I didn't

156
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: know much about Memphis, like I said, but like I

157
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: knew Spanish players had been there and we've it has

158
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: like the Spanish back background or whatever. So I was like,

159
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 3: it's cool because at least people will know like Spanish

160
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: culture in some type of way.

161
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: So I was more relieved in that sense.

162
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was definitely definitely weird going to somewhere

163
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 3: I had never even like been to or like heard of.

164
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure that's crazy. So now let's move on

165
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: to you and your NBA career. What was your welcome

166
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: to the League moment?

167
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: I mean probably I probably have a couple, but I

168
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: would say my second year. That's really the first time

169
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: I started playing like real minutes against the nets. It

170
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: was like early on in the in like the season,

171
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: and I had to guard KD for like four possessions,

172
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 3: and literally he scored the four possessions. And I was like,

173
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: you know, you tried to get players to shoot the

174
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 3: mid range. Shock is probably like the least efficient, or

175
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: that's what they say, but like, I mean, not with KD. Definitely,

176
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: you try to deny him and make sure he doesn't

177
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: touch the ball, and he just scored four straight. Coach

178
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: ca all the time. I was like all right, Like

179
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: I literally I remember asking one of my guys like, yo,

180
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: what can I do.

181
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: He's like nothing, nothing, yeah, and so okay.

182
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: So a little birdie showed me a picture of you

183
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: when I think you were about like ten or eleven maybe,

184
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: and you took a picture with Derrick Rose, who is

185
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: now your teammate on the Grizzlies. Like, can you take

186
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: me through that, because I cannot imagine telling whatever eleven

187
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: year old Saunty that that guy that you were taking

188
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: a picture with as a fan is now your teammate.

189
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was crazy. And I remember when we signed

190
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: him the first thing.

191
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: I think. I think it was my mom or my aunt.

192
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 3: They send it in the family group chat and I

193
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: couldn't believe it because I look crazy, like super young.

194
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: I was there with my cousin some friends, and I

195
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: was really Derek, like, you know, there was the team

196
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: USA in the Islands, and I showed it to Derek actually,

197
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: and he thought it was super cool. But really, I

198
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: mean at that moment, if you remember, I mean he

199
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: definitely didn't remember, but he remembered being in Spain spending

200
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: time there. But like, if you would have told me

201
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: that day that I was going to be there one day,

202
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 3: I would I would have thought you crazy.

203
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to use the term for my English class,

204
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: which is foreshadowing because I noticed when I saw that picture,

205
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: I was like, first off, that's crazy, like that's literally

206
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: something written in the movie. And then we'll put the

207
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: picture up. But a kid standing next to you is

208
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: wearing a Steph Curry jersey, and I'm just just thinking

209
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: about how cool that is. Not only the Derek Rosers

210
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: in the photo, but that also like just shows how

211
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: cool your progression was that he went from a fan

212
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: all the way in Spain and now an NBA player

213
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: here in America.

214
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like you said, it's pretty cool because

215
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: I remember my first NBA jersey was Apocastault like Laker jersey,

216
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: and I got to experience his retirement ceremony. So I

217
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: mean that is like a full circle moment that it's crazy.

218
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: To think about.

219
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: And I know you're close with Pow. Can you take

220
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: us through a little bit of your mentorship like type relationship.

221
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I haven't spoken with him that much,

222
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: but like obviously, as a Spanish kid growing up, if

223
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: you look up to someone, it's probably power and like

224
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: he's one of the reasons I've enjoyed basketball so much.

225
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: Obviously his time in the NBA, uh, you know, his

226
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: Hispanish kid. You watch it as much as much as

227
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: you can, but it's at like two three am, so

228
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 3: it's not great sometimes that my mum will get mad

229
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: at me if I tried to watch the NBA game.

230
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: But obviously with the national team, he's he's one of

231
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: the best ever and and just watching him every day

232
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 3: was huge for me. And obviously getting to talk to

233
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: him and meet him and then see everybody you know,

234
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: praising him for his career as me.

235
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, that's so special. So earlier, I know

236
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: you talked about how hard it was to guard KD.

237
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: But I'm curious, who's the hardest player you've had to

238
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: guard that was extremely unexpected?

239
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: Unexpected?

240
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 3: That's a tough one because I feel like if you're

241
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 3: tough to guard, like you know it, you know it's tough.

242
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Let me let me let me think.

243
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: H I mean, I don't know if it's unexpected, but

244
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: I'll say, like Steven Adams, like in practice, I remember

245
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: my first day, I tried to box him out and

246
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: he literally threw me to the ground.

247
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: It's awkward, man, Like what can you do?

248
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: I know, but he threw me to the ground. I'm like,

249
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: you really didn't have to do that. It was first

250
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: NBA practice. But he was like, yeah, welcome, and that's

251
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: you're welcome to the league.

252
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: Look at you answering questions from before, like going back,

253
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: welcome to the league. Love it.

254
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 4: Okay, So here's my question.

255
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: We all know the movie Hustle right where Wancho Hernangomez

256
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: stars in this movie directed by Lebron with Adam Sandler,

257
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: Like this is a full on Hollywood production and they

258
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: picked a Spanish basketball player to be the star. Did

259
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: you try out for the movie and not get the part?

260
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: No, I don't know when they started I was. I

261
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: don't think I was in the NBA, But I don't know.

262
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: I think he's probably better at the acting than I am.

263
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: So so he got it, But.

264
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: So you don't think you could have done it.

265
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: I want to try one day. I want to act

266
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 3: one day. But obviously I think he got that part.

267
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: He did a good job.

268
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: Hustle Part two for an Oscar. I can feel it.

269
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: I can feel it. Okay, So I know you, right,

270
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: we know you, we know your stats, but let us

271
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: know a fun fact about you that we probably don't know.

272
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: M that's a tough question.

273
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: I asked tough questions. That's like Sloan nose, you know.

274
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I played golf, I played the office

275
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: a kid. I mean, not a lot, just with my

276
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: like my cousin, I was never good. I'm not good,

277
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 3: but I'm really trying now and I want to. I

278
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: want to get to a point where the day I retire,

279
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 3: I'm good enough to like, like play like mid level tournaments.

280
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Wow, that's such high aspirations. Yeah, that's why I mean,

281
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: clearly NBA players have done it. Like Steph's a really

282
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: good golfer.

283
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really good. I don't know if you don't

284
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: think you're going to reach that point.

285
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: No, no, close enough, Okay, cool, I have faith in you.

286
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll I've never like really played, but maybe we'll

287
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 4: like go out.

288
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you can do like a golf podcast.

289
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: At that point, and that'd be great and you could

290
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: be my first guests your career. Love it. Okay, can

291
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: you name me your top three favorite American foods?

292
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, Probably burger that's the easiest. Wings, I'll

293
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: say Old Bay Wings. That's like I heard its like

294
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: from Maryland.

295
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Okay, not familiar, but.

296
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I tried to have them somewhere else,

297
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: but like they didn't have like in Maryland. I would

298
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: like destroy them every day, and but I haven't found

299
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: it ever, and I don't know I can give you

300
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: a I couldn't even tell you it's fine.

301
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: I feel like Americans like food is a weird cuisine

302
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: because it's.

303
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: Like just like that food, you know what, I probably

304
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: like stealing.

305
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Exactly, yeah, exactly, Like we're in Spain, you guys have

306
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: like legit cultural food here. It was just like McDonald's. Anyways. Wait,

307
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: okay after a game because you like to eat late.

308
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: Is there like a fast food place that you ever

309
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: go to?

310
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: Or No? No?

311
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 3: No, If I were to do fast food after a game,

312
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,760

Speaker 2: He just jumped right over. I'm like, oh all right.

469
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: So anything like all the hangtime stuff he does in games,

470
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 3: like he tries that in practice and it's it's it's

471
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 3: impressive because I remember walling up against him one of

472
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 3: the first times guarding him and then he like, I jumped,

473
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 3: I hit him, I fell and then he was still

474
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: in the air and then he made the legs.

475
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: I was like, it's it's pretty hard to guard him.

476
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: Is there any players for you that you see them

477
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: like coming at you and you're like, I'm not jumping

478
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: with them, Like I don't want to be put on

479
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: a poster right now. I can't do this, and you

480
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: just like or you're just going at it every time

481
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: and you just like think you can block them.

482
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it depends. If I'm early enough, I'll jump

483
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 3: with everybody. But there's there's some players where it's like

484
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 3: I mean with Wemby last game, I jumped, tried to

485
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: hit them. I actually hit him in the arm. They

486
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: didn't call it, so it was good, but but I

487
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: hit them. I'm like, well, I hit him in the

488
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: elbow and he jumped, so it's like I wasn't reaching them,

489
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: but I tried.

490
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel like that's also impossible, like technically,

491
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: like when you're playing Wemmy, like you're technically short, Like

492
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: that's crazy.

493
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm.

494
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 3: It feels terrible and my I think this was actually

495
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: my rookie year. I had to guard Boban like he

496
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: came out, he came in the game and then I

497
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: had to guard him and I got a rebound right

498
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: here and like he like took it over, I was like, well, yeah, I.

499
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: Can't do anything about it.

500
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: Insane. So the last segment of this podcast is trivia. Okay,

501
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: so it's trivia all about you, Santy and just sort

502
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: of your life, your team, things regarding you.

503
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 4: But it's very difficult.

504
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: You will be the first player that we have this

505
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: new implemented point system with because people get really excited

506
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: and you know, DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul were like

507
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: texting about who got the best score.

508
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 4: So feel free to like join in on that.

509
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: We can also make a group chat, but it gets

510
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: very competitive, and I will grade you and there's no complaining.

511
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't curve grades, I don't switch it. So be

512
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: a good sport, please, but just get ready for the challenge. Okay,

513
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: are you ready?

514
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: Do I have scores already?

515
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 4: Well, so you're the first player who as like a

516
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: real score.

517
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: But just so you know, no one has ever actually

518
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: really gotten the answer right, So like people have gotten

519
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: like close enough, but right has never really happened, so

520
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: you may I have faith that you'll be first. Okay, Okay,

521
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: so you are twenty two years old. Name the three

522
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: other twenty two year olds on the Grizzlies.

523
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 3: Alright, desire, Yes, Roddy and Jake Okay, off.

524
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: To a huge start. That is a two points nailed it.

525
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: That's what it says. Okay, love it. How many seven

526
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: footers are currently in the NBA?

527
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: Do I count as the seven foot because.

528
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: They got me a six, they have you a six eleven,

529
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: but I'm counting you, yeah, and I'll say ten very

530
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: far off, so I'm gonna let you get one more.

531
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 2: Try twenty two.

532
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: Close. Well, so I have here twenty nine, but if

533
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: you I'm gonnaccount used and then that's thirty.

534
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

535
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: I just feel like some people got seven foot written

536
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: down and I'm tader than them, and then.

537
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: It's all crazy.

538
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 2: I'm fighting for them to give me.

539
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: So there's some like high inflation going on there at

540
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: this point. If I was in the NBA, I could

541
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: like call myself six foot and I'm very clearly five four.

542
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: I think after my fifth year they'll give me this.

543
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: Okay, great, because you're just gonna grow randomly at twenty five.

544
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: I mean I actually grew from my rookiear to my

545
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 3: second year and I'm seven feet.

546
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: But they haven't good.

547
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: Okay, NBA, you heard it here, he wrote, So that

548
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: was like, unfortunately, like a zero that was nowhere close.

549
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: I gave you the like second question, but pen was

550
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: pretty far. So you're you're at two right now, two points.

551
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: This is more of a bonus. But who are the

552
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: two tallest players in the NBA and they're tied. They're

553
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: the same.

554
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: Height, So Wemby and Bobo.

555
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: Maybe yes, Okay, I feel like that would have been

556
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: much harder if we hadn't just like randomly talked about it.

557
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: The second we started talking about Wemby, I was like,

558
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: oh god, now I'm gonna give it to him. But

559
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: when I read that stat like, I don't think of

560
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: Wemby and Boba like I think of one me being

561
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: so much taller than Ban because he's so much skinnier,

562
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like funny to

563
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: think that they're like the same vipe. Anyways, next question,

564
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: your career high is twenty eight points. What team did

565
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: you score this against?

566
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 2: Celtics?

567
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I.

568
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: Didn't give you two questions whatever, okay too, So right

569
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: now you're at oh no, oh my god, you're at six.

570
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: That good.

571
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anyone's ever beat that, so wow, Yeah,

572
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: scoring Okay, well whatever, I don't that's still very impressive.

573
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: But now I need to like make the questions start.

574
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: You were drafted thirtieth. Who was drafted twenty ninth?

575
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: Oh? This?

576
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: Maybe I know they are in sharp? Yeah that's great.

577
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 3: I knew it was, I didn't know who it was.

578
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so eight, which I don't know what that even

579
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: means at this point. Eight?

580
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: Wow?

581
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: Okay huge? Okay. Who led the twenty twenty three FIBA

582
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: World Cup Spayton team in point per game?

583
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's me or Billy? Is it

584
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: Billy Willy? Yeah?

585
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, yes, okay, Now this is I'm giving

586
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: you this as a bonus because I read this the

587
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: other day. I don't even have this written down. When

588
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: you played in the U eighteen FIBA European Championship, which

589
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: you were the MVP, and it's like who averaged the

590
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: most rebounds per game for the Spain national team? Yeah, okay, okay,

591
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: you're just too good.

592
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: I was truggling with somebody about it, like probably like

593
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: a month ago, so I looked it up.

594
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: And I sung, like, there's like a whole graphic like

595
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: I loved it. Okay, wait, so you got Willy, So,

596
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: oh my god, you're okay, you're ten. You're at ten. Okay,

597
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: now this is the last question. I'm really embarrassed. I

598
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: gave you way too easy questions. Next time, we're doing

599
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: this so much harder.

600
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: You got to put me first.

601
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, whatever? Can you name the top five best

602
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: teams by rankings in the Feeble World rankings.

603
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: And like the rank yes, like in the World.

604
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: Rankings one through in order I'm doing. I'm giving you

605
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: the in order because you were a cheat code and

606
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: you are too smart. Maybe okay, this is why you

607
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: went to Loyola Maryland?

608
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,240

610
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I don't. I don't have it yet, So.

611
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 4: I'm like half okay, whatever, close enough we get the Okay.

612
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: So the US is first, Spain a second, Serbia's third. No, Germany, Yeah,

Speaker 1: No, I'm not giving you a hand. You've done too well.

616
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: It's like when the teacher when the kid asked too

617
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: many questions, They're like, no, I'm not answering, No, who's fourth?

Speaker 3: Yes, fourth missing I must be I must be missing somebody.

621
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a This is like a basketball

622
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: head question. Kyrie Irving was born in.
