But you know as the as 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.080 a bring on, right, But I was I was always 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:23.919 playing with older guys as a young age. When I 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.120 was like ten or eleven years old, my dad used 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.000 to take me to the gym and drop me off. 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.000 It's like, look, I don't care get in the game. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.200 I don't care how old it is.

Man, I'm in LA right now. I 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:41.840 wish I wish my Lakers could. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.160 Yeah, you know that I really want Lebron and them 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.839 and to really do something man and make some history happen. 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.719 But I'm such a fan. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.040 Of the game and certain areas are certain different teams, 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.000 and I'm that it's hard for me to be like, hey, 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.040 I'm this team all the way, you know, because because 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.880 it's like dang, I like friends with this guy on 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.960 this team and him have a personal relationship, so I'm 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.920 rooting for him and then on this side. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.360 So whoever wins, the best player wins. 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.480 But who's your favorite player? 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.000 Favorite player? Kyrie, Kyrie Carie. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:14.840 He's one of my one of my closest friends, too, 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.600 But as far as like seeing him play, being around him, 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.640 play playing with him, like he's probably one of the 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.000 most phenomenal guys when it comes to the English. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.680 On that back, bro, So, what do you like so 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:26.760 much about Kyrie's game? 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.720 Uh, it's tenacity. He's aggressive, but it's it's graceful. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:32.200 Right, you know. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.400 And and he's he's going and he and I think 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.680 he makes other players better. I think he I think 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.640 he's getting into that to that uh that uh consciousness 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.280 of saying, hey, look, we got to do this together. 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:44.960 So I think he brings out a lot of a 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.480 lot of a lot of spunk and a lot of real, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.440 real talent, a lot of a lot of players that 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.160 that probably already knew they had it, but he encourages that. 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.080 I know you followed the game closely, so you see 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.760 some of the trades that transpired, and you see Bradley 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.600 Beal goes from the Wizard to go to the Enix Sons. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.240 So now he pairs with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.880 You see Chris Paul gets traded, he gets moved again. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.520 Now he goes to the Golden State Warriors to go 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.280 with Steph Draymondic potentially Draymond Draymond is unrestricted free agent. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.760 You see Jordan Poole goes to the Wizard, So. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.600 You think this is Kevin Durant's opportunity now to get 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.080 a ring away from Golden State. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.680 I thought it was this time. I thought it was 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.800 this time, But uh, I think it's I think it's 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.360 up in the area. I think Chris going. 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:28.400 To Golden State. 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.920 Man, it's that that's a that's a good place for him. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.760 I just want him to get a ring, right, I like, 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.040 Chris been doing this thing for a while, but I 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:38.120 really want him to get a ring. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.920 But I think KD is like, you know, they gonna 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.880 be coming. They're gonna be coming. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.480 Would you like to see in Chris Paul on the 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:46.520 on the Lakers. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.160 He would have been a good asset. But I but 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.560 I feel like he would have. He would have. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.960 You know, there's there's two types of players.
