WEBVTT - One-on-One with Danuel House Jr.

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm Daniel House Junior and you're listening to the seventy

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>six is inside of podcast Welcome Back. I'm Matt Murphy,

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 1>joined by Lauren Rosen. Our player interview series continues in

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the lead up to the playoffs for the Philadelphia seventy

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>six Ers. On this edition, Lauren, it's fan favorite, teammate

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 1>favorite Daniel House Junior, a guy that always brings the

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>vibes to this year's Sixers group. In particular about this interview,

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I really liked his answer to the dream dinner table

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>because he went on and on and on, and he

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>has an interest in well not an interest part of

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>He's a rapper, so a handful of his picks were

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>fellow rappers. But it was more of like a dinner

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>party than a dinner table, which I feel like for

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the house for the team that like that matches the

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>brand to throw a whole dinner party instead of most

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>players have picked like two people at the table. Maybefore

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>PJ Tucker episode coming later this week, also had a

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>really good table with a one specific guest that really

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>warmed my heart. So teaser for pj's episode, but looking

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>forward to hearing wode House wanted to have at the table,

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>and Matt you said it multi talented, life of the party,

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>life of the bus, life of the plane. He's really

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>just been a joy to get to know and be around.

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.679
<v Speaker 1>We talk about the Tyrese Maxi's of the world who

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>appear to have never had a bad day, and ideologically,

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I actually have a problem with the idea of someone

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>who's never had a bad day. I don't think that exists.

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of bringing the same energy into the

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>locker room every day and bringing consistency and holding yourself

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>accountable to being a certain type of person the way

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that Tyrese Maxie does, d House does the same way

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>in a totally different way. But you know what you're

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>getting from him every day. His teammates know that he's

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be a source of light, a source of joy,

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a source of fun, and it's been so cool to

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>observe that. In his first year as a sixer, he

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>said the dinner table would be a big round table,

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>both for the house for the team. Let's hear it.

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Daniel House Junior starting that combo guard fort sixty seven

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:18.959
<v Speaker 1>from the Legendary University of Texas, Daniel or technically Texas

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:25.959
<v Speaker 1>a and M University number twenty five, DANU host Junior.

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Let Carl go crazy before we jump into the U,

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>said Texas A and M. What about that NCUBAA tournament

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 1>come back that you guys had. Alex Caruso was on

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>your team. You were down twelve, I think with a

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.519
<v Speaker 1>minute and change left, and you guys beat Northern Iowa

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>twelve forty four twelve points forty fourth seconds. Wow, Yeah,

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>what was that? Like? It's weird. It's it's it's weird

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>because it's a game that don't get respected acknowledged that much.

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I felt like I should have wanted

0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to ask me or something. We should have want to

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>ask me or something because it's like it's still technically

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>the greatest comeback in years. It was that we was

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.679
<v Speaker 1>supposed to win that game, like a one in a

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>million chance to win that game because catch back up

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and win that game, and we did it. So we

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>used the first one in the million to to conquer

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>the odds. You had a big role in it too.

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>You had a few of those down twelve. You had

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>a couple of buckets, right yeah, man, I mean they

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>did shouts out to you and I. They did the

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>best they could. They they was switching up defensive seed.

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Were you guys and what seed it was? It would

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>have been an upset if they beat you, Yeah, it

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>would have been an upset. I think it was like

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a three got We know you're a great basketball player.

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>What else are you great at? Rapping down the mic

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and and and energy and it? Well? To be honest

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>with you, I'm good with a lot of things. Uh.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I got my own little doll business, I got my

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>own label business. Uh. I'm really talented with with with people.

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I can captivate the room and get

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>people to be outside themselves, to to really see themselves

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>as more than what they usually see themselves as a

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>special talent. What makes you a great rapper? I would say,

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>because it's I'm I'm giving the truth. I'm giving you

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>real life pain. I'm telling you just stuff that that

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.799
<v Speaker 1>has happened that I didn't grew up and saw personally.

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. So it's it's straight facts

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>that ain't no cap So I feel like that's the

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>beauty and that, you know what I mean to get

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.039
<v Speaker 1>to express the pain and stuff that I saw and

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>share with other people, to let them know that they

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>can make it out too, you know, and that that

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>happiness that you elicit from other people. Did you know

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that your coach, Doc Rivers recently said on the road

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>trip that you're one of the funniest human beings out there.

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Ain't man, This theme is funny, Pee, I ain't the

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>only one. This team is funny. Pee. It seems like

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you might be the straw that stirs the funny drink, though,

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I think you might be the captain Captain funny something

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>like that. Um, what was your childhood like? Oh, it

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>was tough. It was tough, wasn't really accepted by too

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>many family debacle, was kind of missy. So mom and

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>pops did the best that they possibly could try to

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>teach me as much as they could. Uh, once I

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>met God man basketball never look back. When was that

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>man God that got baptized at seven? Started really hooping

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:47.839
<v Speaker 1>like thirteen fourteen? With this idea that you guys kind

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>of have an idea of what people are saying about you,

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Like the public is saying. What's something that you think

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>they get right about you and something that the public

0:05:55.839 --> 0:06:00.359
<v Speaker 1>gets wrong about you. To be honest with you, I

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>can't really say too much that they get right about me,

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>because all the stuff I see about me it's wrong.

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's cool though, I mean, people perception of me

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>is that, But my family and friends and colleagues know

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>me as something else, so I feel like it's cool.

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's one of the ones you can't contest

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>everyone and be like, hey, you're wrong, so you gotta

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>keep moving. The only thing I can do is just

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>try to put up a better effort the next time

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 1>to potentially change your view of me. That's it. What

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>do you think like the most regular thing about you

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>is the most normal thing? Perhaps I play the game.

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm lazy too, I'm I'm just like you at home.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>You're saying video games, video games, sit on the couch,

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 1>chill every day, knowing every day, no, I gotta sit

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.799
<v Speaker 1>at the house, gotta gotta watch Netflix. So game days,

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>travel days, off days. What's something you look forward to

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 1>on a game day? On a game day, I'm playing,

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>travel day. What do you look forward to get into

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the destination safely? What do you look forward to on

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 1>an off day? Kicking my feed up, what's the favorite

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>gift that you've gotten for someone else? Favorite gift I

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>got for us. I mean, I haven't got so many

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>people so many gifts, to be honest, and I do

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>it from the heart, so I can't even honestly remember

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>because I do everything from the heart. So what's the

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>favorite thing you've purchased for yourself? Uh? Well, I'm in

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>a mist of like restoring my old school wheep somobile. Okay, yeah,

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>with the skirts, that's awesome. How many cars do you have?

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I got four. That's great for the team, for the house,

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>for the team. So four was your number, right? Yeah?

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>In Houston. Yeah, I couldn't wear it here because it's yeah,

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>noted all respect, all respect. If you could wake up

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>in the morning with a new skill on the court,

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>what would it be? A new skill? New basketball skill? First?

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm, I say, handle the ball better. If I

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>can wake up with better handles, I'll be who getting

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to the right duggy? Yeah yeah, yeah, I get that anyway,

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>But you know, so I get there more efficient, more smooth, effortless.

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>New skill off the court? You could add anything, new

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>skill off the court. H a new skill off the court,

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I would say, uh, you know what I've been watching lately, um,

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>like people building stuff like fixtures on house, like cutting

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the wood down of the true you have an old

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>tree and chiseling it down and taking the wood planes

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>from it and building something from it. So that would

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>be a new skill for me to learn how to build,

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>like actually build. What's something about life on the road

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>that would surprise people? The time flies so like you

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>can get discombobulated and sometimes you can forget your room

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>numb if you want to road for solos. So and

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you have a pretty big family too, right, Yeah, I

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:35.439
<v Speaker 1>got a huge family my pops, my pops, my mother

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and father had fourteen my mom that my mom was

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>one of eight, and then I think she had a

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>few more other siblings. I think probably Levin Moore. So

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I got a real big family from my mom and

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 1>then my close brothers and sisters. I got two older brothers,

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a younger brother, and a younger sister. How do you

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>make sure to nurture the closest relationships that you have

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>in your life? Life you gotta give quality time and

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it can't be about you. So when I'm trying to

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>nurture my relationships with others, I'm making sure that I'm

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>focusing on them and the issue that they have of

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>him versus myself or talking about myself or anything relying

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>or relating to me, unless the situation happens to deal

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.319
<v Speaker 1>with me or I've done it, you know from a

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>meal with your dream table. Who is at the table

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>living or Tupac got MJ, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Michael Micks.

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I won't Biggie there too, you know what I'm saying,

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>so we can chop it up. That'll be pretty much

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.439
<v Speaker 1>young Dolf. Gotta have Dolf at the table, flip flip,

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 1>or gotta be at the table too. So when you retire,

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>what do you want people to say about you? That

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>that this guy gave us more than like him? You

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>can ever imagine that whatever you think or say about

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>him don't really matter because I know the real him.

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, sir. I appreciate the time i'm him. Thanks

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 1>again to Daniel House Junior. Really fun conversation with him,

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and he keeps it real. So we talk a lot

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:25.559
<v Speaker 1>about his energetic personality, but at the same time some

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>of these questions about public perception and how he wants

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to be remembered. A very thoughtful guy that at the

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, he does bring the positive energy

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and he wants to be remembered in that type of way.

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.439
<v Speaker 1>And Lauren, one thing that I've noticed is in our

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>tiktoks throughout the year, and if people aren't following the

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>sixers on TikTok, you should be a great job from

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 1>our whole team with Julie, Becca and Ali on our

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:56.319
<v Speaker 1>social team. He Daniel House Junior is the pick from

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of his teammates for various questions including recently,

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.839
<v Speaker 1>who would you want to be for one day? He

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was the answer from a lot of the guys, which

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 1>is just such a good way to describe the type

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>of attitude he brings and the mindset that he has.

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the other players just want to spend some

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>time in his head. And yeah, he's also a I'd

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 1>say a one hundred percent rate participant in each of

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the like goofy content things that we do throughout the year,

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>which for a little bit of context, guys are constantly

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>being asked to participate in different things, whether it's for content,

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>or for community, or for season ticket members or for

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>basketball things Like there's a lot that's asked of these

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>guys every single day. So to say yes to everything

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 1>is truly like a hard to do. I certainly couldn't

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.439
<v Speaker 1>do it, but be such a delight when guys like

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 1>d House are just always excited to participate. So yeah,

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.199
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't followed the Sixers on TikTok, make sure

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you do so a great opportunity to see D House's

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>personality and see the way that his teammates relate to him.

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 1>We're talking a lot about this, and we can talk

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>about his on court game here in a second. But

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>one other thing that an inside or insight from the

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>road is that when House gets on the bus, he

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>always has a comment to the coaches, his teammates, staff, trainers, etc.

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And oftentimes it's something like either for the house, for

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the team, or one thing I've heard him say a

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>lot is what's the deal? So you'll have your head

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>down and whatever, listening to music, and you always hear

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 1>him say what's the deal. When he gets on the

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 1>bus before a game, he's goofy. He brings the good vibes.

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>But also all season long, not to get lost in

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the conversation about his vibes, is the way that he's

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>stayed ready all year. It's something we've heard Doc Rivers

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about a Ton recently, de have someone who's been

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>in and out of the rotation more than a few

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.319
<v Speaker 1>times this season, but always is ready for the opportunity

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to come back, as he has lately again as the

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 1>regular season winding down, the House has had some of

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>his better performances of the year towards the end of

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the season. I wanted to though, harken back Matt something

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>we talked about when we did the Shake Paul re

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Duo episode. Check that one out if you haven't already,

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>But that time when the Sixers were in Orlando without

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.599
<v Speaker 1>their top three scorers at the time, no Joe l

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 1>emb no James Harden, no Tyrese Maxie, we remember Shake

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Milton stepping up in a huge way. We don't as

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>often talk about the way that d House stepped up.

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I remember, particularly in that second game at Orlando that

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>was his season high nineteen points in that one, five

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 1>or eight from the field. But he also brought like

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>a seriousness to the court. He brought an intensity to

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the court that the team needed to get those wins

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>done absent their best players, and cool to see him

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>show what he can do when given the opportunity, and

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>to see that he maintains that positive attitude regardless of

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>what his opportunities look like. So it's been really cool

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>to cover him this year, sort of on and off

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the court, and he does bring it to the court,

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>that energy and the way that he celebrates his teammate

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>success on the floor, the way that he celebrates his

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>own success on the court. The shooting is one thing.

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>He's a good three point shooter, obviously unlimited volume this

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 1>year when he's been in and out of the rotation,

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 1>it's somewhere around league average from three, but over his

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>career a capable shooter that defenses are aware of when

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>he checks in. He's often on the court end of

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>quarter situations for defense a lot of the time, and

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>he's made some good defensive plays as well. He's been

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>around this league, even though he's not that old. He's

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>got a veteran presence about him, someone who's played with

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>James Harden in his career before. Guys kind of know

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>what to expect from him when they're sharing the court

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 1>with him. One thing he mentioned in the interview was

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe an on court skill that he wishes he could

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>have overnight or develop to an elite level would be

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>his ball handling, and he said that it would allow

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>him to just get into the lane and dunk more.

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm reminded of all the massive dunks he's had

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>this year. Some have been waved off for fouls, some

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>have been misses. But a guy that is very athletic too,

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and I always say tries to bring the house down

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 1>with some of these dungs. Love love, love when he

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 1>does bringing the house down. And and Matt, we're looking

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>ahead to the playoffs. De House has a breadth of

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the playoff experience twenty nineteen, twenty twenty twenty two. So

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>he's someone who, if called upon in the playoffs, can

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>draw back on plenty of playoff experience over these last

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 1>four or five years, some of which were alongside James Harden,

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>who has play alongside in these playoffs once again. So

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to seeing how he a brings the energy

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and the vibes, but be if he's given the opportunity,

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>how he steps into it in the playoffs and in

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>real time as we speak at the end of the

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>regular season, a lot of matchups for the Sixers against

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>fellow playoff teams, and some minutes during this stretch for

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>House that should give him some confidence heading into actual

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 1>postseason contests. My last thing on the way out is

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>you'll see him do that bow and arrow celebration when

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 1>he makes threes. Way back at the beginning of the season,

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I asked him about it, and he has a number

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 1>of children, and he said, for his sons is the

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>reason that he does the bow and arrow celebration because

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>they really like superheroes. So really, no matter the score,

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>he says, he does it on every three pointer that

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>he makes, at least for the last number of years,

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's a really nice gesture for them,

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>a nice little wink to the kiddos. So shout out

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to the house, Shout out to the house kids, the

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 1>house brethren, if you will, and Matt, with the drop

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 1>of the word brethren, I think we can get out

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.959
<v Speaker 1>of here all right. Brethren, Thanks everybody, thanks for listening.

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Bye guys,
